mmtMi Hi €lali Doctor, I feel bored and dreary all the time now. What ' s the matter with me? We ' ll . . . nothing major. It ' s mere- ly a condition students get just be- fore and just after Christmas holi- days brought on by acute boredom with school work, teachers, tests, and just school in general. Get involved in something to pass the time, and you ' ll feel better in no time. Many of Callaway ' s students took his advice. Bored students in Enghsh classes opted for sleeping clubs, while the higher mathematics and chemistry classes busied themselves just trying to break even. The mun- chies, during class, attacked much more often. Students brought radios to liven up the atmosphere, until the administration outlawed the con- traptions. Others resorted to bring- ing such games to school as chess or backgammon. Some people got real- ly creative and put on three plays for first, second, and third graders. With these and other activities. Chargers kept from going stir-crazy during the long winter. Hey! Thanks Doc! It really worked! STICK IT IN YOUR EAR. The Miscella- neous Club, consisting of Bud McElroy, Da- vid Price, Walter Swanner, John Henson, Bud Martin, Gary Noble, Mike Flynt, Kevin Man- ton, Kathering Clarke, Brian Dudley, Don Grayson, Blair Morgan, Jeff Blackstock, Joby Hughes, serves as a way to beat the school day blahs. SUICIDE? Some people, like Mike Lindley, find unique ways to escape the drudgery of school. X N 26 Winter Activities

r i mniiics THE CALLAWAY CHARGE — The pow- er that circulated through all six of the Charger ' s classes. Stu- dents from various parts of the city found themselves drawn to school by its powerful pull. When the 8:30 A.M. bell rang, this circuit plugged it- self in and flowed throughout the day making six 50-minute stops. Each student released power in many aspects of the school ' s classes, and in at least one of the six they found their place. The x ' s and y ' s of math courses or the worms of biol- ogy proved no barrier for this never- ending charge. It electrified excite- ment into the fall of Rome and the bombs of WWn. Callaway ' s circuit lost no time while it generated ener- gy to sustain students through the perils of English and foreign lan- guages. The energy of electronics ex- hib ited itself, as students learned to manipulate cash registers, typewrit- ers, and adding machines. For those students turned on by the fine and manual arts, this power used their creative talents. In music classes this charge forced out the high g ' s and low b ' s without hesitation. The cre- ative current took physical form in such things as charcoal drawings, exotic meals, and models of future buildings of America. The natural athletic spark found an outlet in gym classes and for the military minded the R.O.T.C. jolted people to life. At 3:15, the system officially shut down. However, before shutting down it provided enough energy to sustain students who burned the midnight oil working on homework and research papers. Patiently, it waited to turn itself on for another day of THE CALLAWAY CHARGE. IMPRISONED. James Mitchell tries to keep his mind inside the classroom. 28 Academics
