BEYOND CAPAOTV Buses after fifth and sixth hours were filled each day. as well as the students’ parking lot. Clubs and organizations found that memberships had vastly increased from that of last year. All was not lost in the situation, however. With the increased number of students from which to choose, positions were filled with persons having the greatest talent and ambition. There was never any lack of volunteers for anything. In fact, with hallways, classrooms, buses, and the school in general overrun with people, the only time one found peaceful quiet anywhere was late in the afternoon, when all the buses had left. Nothing could surpass the ultimate pleasure of walking down a deserted, darkened hallway—completely alone.
