The most efficient way to HEAT Working through a better than average day n this day in age vd Re gaso- liine prices are soaring higher and electricity and heating ex- penses are rising, people are conserving the energy they use. But this is not the case in the Noll Community when warmth and friendship are produced from a cold and dark structure. Heat is always being generated during the average days, however it is the better than average days when the heating system works overtime that produces the most heat. It rained on the Homecom- ing parade, but it was the heat of our spirit that kept us dry. 6 STUDENT LIFE And it was the same heat that kept couples warm during Tur- nabout. It was not just the heat from the stage lights that made the performers produce Guys and Dolls and The Lit- tle Foxes, but the warmth of displaying one’s talents on stage. Once the snow-filled, below zero winter had passed it became easier to stay warm. Prom was the perfect occasion that represented this idea of heat. There is no way a human being can survive in a cold en- vironment. The most efficient way to HEAT is a necessity of life to the Noll community.

Warming-up A day of waiting in lines though the floors were freshly waxed the windows cleaned spotless and the walls wiped clear, our school seemed cold and barren. Yet, our school was warming-up when some 1400 students entered the main lobby for Orientation. A few hugs are exchanged while tales of summer adventures are told. As you wait in a line which ends somewhere outside around the building to pay tuition, you find out that your best friend went to California while you went to Southern Indiana for va- cation. As you look around the school you see all the people you thought you knew. Like the boy who was always teased about being short is now 6 foot 2 and the shy girl with braces and thick glasses 8 ORIENTATION now has her braces off, wears contact lenses, and already has a date for Home- coming. You part company to wait in line for your schedule, that happens to have three Math classes and no lunch. You are then directed to wait in line to see your counselor. The line extends past A build- ing and into B Building. The wait seems like a lifetime. Now that your classes are straightened out you must run to the Cafe- teria to buy your books, before it closes, but wait! there awaiting you is another line! You wait and wait, finally you are in buying books only to find out that they are out of the books you need. The first day of school goes by easily except when you get your locker and no matter how nice you talk to it or how hard you hit it, it still will not open. You enter your first hour class, Algebra, only to find out itis Calculus. Freshmen have it harder than others. They do not know where they are and when they are right next to their classroom a helpful Senior will give them the famous directions, ‘‘Oh, it’s on the 4th floor.’’ Passing the auditorium while going to lunch one notices that the auditorium is dark and uninhabited. However the lights are turned on and tryouts for ‘‘Guys Dolls’’ have begun. Before you know it it’s dress rehearsal and the school year is already warming-up.
