Studious students study their stuff. Eddie Lentz and Jackie Wilson use library facili- ties. Tick-tock, tick-tock, who ' s holding up the clock. Study hall students await the end of class. Yanked, jerked pushed, and shoved: These comprised just a few of the things that could happen to one in the Callaway halls during those four short minutes between classes. Students attempted a major feat by flinging themselves into churning halls that faintly resem- bled a five o ' clock traffic jam. Get- ting to one ' s locker proved next to impossible. After diving in amongst all the legs and bodies, one then had to complete the act by dodging flying books and folders. On the quieter side, that claustro- phobic feeling soon left after one entered study hall. The auditorium served as a haven from the frenzied crowds during the course of a day. Students then sat lack and relaxed and enjoyed the blissfulness of un- interrupted day dreaming or nap- ping. Study hall also provided an outlet for the latest gossip. Pupils could take their pick between read- ing, writing, or just plain studying. A short trip upstairs would take, one to the library. A home for books, this room gave out helpful information for reports and term papers. Used also for enjoyment, some went there for an hour of pleasure reading. However, when the hour ended, these quiet-loving souls had to return to the audito- rium and the midstream of human traffic. Beep, beep. Quiet, brain in progress.

Your attention, please. Would the owner of the orange car in the teacher ' s parking place come move it immediately! What would we do without an- nouncements? Many teachers at Callaway would have jumped at the chance to try to see. It seemed funny, how one little box, which sat on the wall so innocently, inter- rupted 54 classes at one time. Callaway students proclaimed announcements a true Callaway trademark. Every day at 8:15, 2:00, and other quickies at unpredicted times, classes quieted for the broad- casts. These broadcasts played an advan- tage for many students. It stalled for another five minutes that Big Test, saved many bored souls by calling them out for a meeting, or highlighted your name by echoing it through the halls. The announcements also delivered tidings of bad news. They sum- moned people caught cutting to the principal ' s office and threatened at- tack of the tow truck on illegally parked cars. However, the good must be taken with the bad, just like all things come to an end. Speaking of things coming to an end, this concludes afternoon announcements. School is dismissed.
