... required cooperation Initial Adjustment Anticipation marked our first few weeks of school. Class- room activity, homework, the routine of the school week were a novelty after the summer’s relaxation. With the new- ness came speculation and some careful thinking. We wondered what our teachers were like, what they would expect, and if we would be able to meet their demands. We examined our textbooks trying to discover what would follow in the ensuing months. We previewed the course of study and tried to predict how we would tackle each prob- lem. We eyed our classmates, wondering who would be our closest friends and who, our greatest competition. We looked forward to using the stadium, to trying out all the new equipment, to joining clubs, and to experiencing senior privileges or underclassmen delights. Enthusiasm reigned! Club meeting-rooms overflowed with people, assemblies drew great applause, and football games attracted crowds of spectators. “Instructive” blackboards, brusque teachers, and busy student guides could do little to allay the confusion apparent in this junior's face. 8

Teaming up to provide B-CC student» with convenient, informative, and accurate announcement'- were B, Foer, G. I .atom», and N. Understein. ... characteristic enthusiasm “We shall never negotiate out of fear and never fear to negotiate,” President Kennedy told the U. N. after Dag Ham- merskjold’s death. In broadcasting this speech, the PA staff had performed another service for a dependent school. English teachers were able to point out in Kennedy’s speech a living and ex- cellent example of parallel construction. History teachers could discuss the implications of the speech and compare the present crisis to crises that had gone before. Even foreign language classes were able to make use of the address by applying it to the countries they study. We were made particularly aware of the importance of the PA system during the time the county painters and elec- tricians were in the building. Almost daily we heard such announcements as, “Students should take special care in entering or leaving the doors to the breezeway; they have just been painted. We repeat, proceed with caution; the doors are wet!” Without the PA we would have been un- informed, unhappy, and covered with green paint. Our bank, too, proved indispensable. It was, as usual, the place of deposit for anything from shop fees to towel fees, from picture money to money for Tattler subscriptions. In addition to its monetary functions it served as the home of the lost and found, housing everything from lost wallets to stray mittens. Whether depositing or withdrawing, students hud the opportunity to familiarize themselves with banking procedure.
