THERE IS A TIME TO GO TO SCHOOL There is a time to lay aside the pleasures of summer. No more skiing ... or motorcycle riding ... The sun grows colder; the leaves begin to fall. We must take up our books and shuffle onto the buses which take us to school. We bump along, stop- ping often to pack one or two more into the already bulging seats. To pass the time we get out a deck of cards, or sing, or do some last minute cramming for an exam. Once in a while a flat tire increases the excitement. But finally the bus pulls into the front circle and begins to unload. They call it or- ganized confusion—elbows jabbing, bodies pushing ... it happens again in the afternoon—tired feet ... waiting for the bus ... getting lost . .. We know the comfortless thoughts running through the tortured minds of the tiny ants in the crowded halls. These too shall pass!
