From Slumber to Studies Is An Effort Rise and shine all ye who profess to be scholars but hate to accept the alarm clock as being on the level!

Yet, help- ful as these sessions may be, our energy and attention run low about eleven, and when, at last our lunch period arrives, it's a wel- come break. But there's another aspect of our classes, too. Such electives as art, music, and jour- nalism, although frustrating at times, offer a pleasant change in our daily routine.
