THE CHEMISTRY TEST Oh Mrs. Williams, I feel glum, The fatal day I know has come. I studied 'quations, zinc hydroxide, Gay Lussac's laws, and all the sulfides. Now I'm in class, and I forget All I learned 'cept the alphabet. Passing the test, a cinch says she, It's a dilly I know, I can forsee. The struggle now shall soon begin, Williams sits there with a grin. An hour passes, I work on, Others are all through and have gone. At last I'm done, and feeling meek, Hand in the test. By jove I'm weak! Nina Winslow C154 ART CLASS If someone should walk into the art room all unsuspecting some afternoon he would most likely be considerably puzzled as to what's coming off. You see Mr. LaGrille is a double threat man. He teaches the upper school and Parksiders all at one and the same time. Of course, he does not teach us the same things but the results are more than somewhat similar. Maybe you think art is just slopping around with paint and whatnot and if you're lucky the results are O.K. so people say you're good. Well, you're right. That is, of course, to a certain extent.

M. you're sitting in bed with a splitting headache so bad you can't go to sleep. You have the radio on full blast playing CowfCow Boogyf' You get the brainstorm of a life time so you grab your pencil and do the best sketch you've ever made. The next morning you take the thing to art class with you. It doesn't look so hot in daylight but you still think it's pretty good. This far the making of a masterpiece is luck and slopping around or what is usually called inspiration, What comes after this takes lots of hard work and lots of explaining by Mr. L. You sit wonder' ing how on earth to draw a girl's leg in the position it is supposed to be, or what makes the face you drew look bashed in, so finally you ask Mr. LaGrille. It is simple, he says fyou doubt this but you let it goj, the lower pedal extremity, he explains, extends from the vitreous humor in a direction adverse to .... you understand that don't you? No, you say, so he goes on. After you have listened for ten or fifteen minutes, a bright light seems to flash. You get it! Teaching art is no cinch when you have to go through this hundreds of times daily but Uncle Bill LaGrille manages to get it across in good shape. Iarma Pratt Page Twenty-three

CHEMISTRY LAB With ten gurgling girls snatching and grab' bing at three high stools, the chem lab begins with a mild cyclone. As Mrs. Jensen begins to explain what experiment we're doing today, Nina, Stirrat, and Patti are in the corner sniffing a bottle to see if it's really alcohol. It is, so they put it aside for future reference. Everyone rushes around to see what's the matter and finally discovers Price trying to blow the gas flame out. Marylu tells her it can't be done, while Bebe sits with a stool chained to her locker trying to decide which would be the easiest way to commit suicide, by drinking arsenic or Page Twenty-two All drawings in this section are by Bonnie jean Berg smelling carbon monoxide. Sylvia carefully makes the rounds to see who has kleptoed fborrowecl, dear reader, her paraphernalia. Leslie and Poodle alone are working on the experiment of boiling off a gelatin solution. At the halffway mark Ginny sticks her finger in to see if it's really boiling or if those bubbles are gas escaping. It's hot, she screams with a pained expression on her face, and practical Leslie ad' ministers first aid on everything but the injured finger. Mrs. Jensen comes to the rescue and again the chem lab is a place of business and not a merry' gofround. jean Osborne

SCHOOL LIFE SOPHOMORE HISTORY CLASS As the door opens to admit Mr. Haight, a din that is almost overwhelming drifts out of the sophomore room. Today it is a debate upon whether it is more advisable to have the second window from the end or the middle window open. Advocates of both policies are loudly vociferating their stand. Betty Osborne is sure that she will have pneumonia unless the end window is open. Joan Frayn read somewhere that opened middle win' dows were more advisable. jackie Binns is simply freezing and must have all the windows near her closed. Then come the middle people who believe that both windows should be closed, or both opened. Finally Mr. Haight summons all his courage and in a weak voice ventures a question: june, what did Louis XIV do? Oh, you mean Louis X one V, well! For a while the roar lessens to a loud buzz and the talk continues on history. Then Mr. Haight makes a dreadful mistake: joan, do you believe that Rousseau's ideas of going back to nature were advantageous? The debate begins anew and continues until the bell. Finally Mr. Haight shrinks out the door. The worst part of the day is over. ' Mavylu Parker eil. . , +--- Q Q -, , . a h I-,ASW A, .: V wg, , V Ni ., i . I :Lx .Mu i I . . I t, Q Q W . . .,,, .

LUNCH The procession to lunch is led by the pounding and roaring lower classmen, then the more sedate Juniors and Seniors arguing about whether joe likes Jane or Margie went out with Mike on Friday or Saturday night and last but not least the faculty spurred on by the thought of a half-hour in peace. fLittle do they know what peace is!!j Grace is sung, the gong rings, fthey only had to wait five minutes for it tofdayj and then the fight begins. The energetic souls plow their way to the serving table, only to have the food snatched from their hands by more eager latefcomers. The milk jugs have made their customary trip around the table because nobody wants to pour. Finally some kind Senior orders a Seventh Grader to take over the job. Everything goes nicely until Mr. Haight makes an announcement that it's Current Events day and has everybody forgotten about it! Ten or fifteen girls dash into the living room with their plates, to listen to Leslie, Pat, and Mr. Haight discuss the trials and tribulations of the world. As it comes time to eat our dessert, a roar goes up from ten or fifteen girls who have discovered that practically all the departed girls had taken two desserts with them. '- At 12:45 on the dot, the lunch room is emptied of all save the teachers, who may finally eat in blissful solitude. All the athletics and jitterbugs are in the gym dancing and throwing baskets to the tune of Mr, Five by Five. . lean Osborne
