Having a few minutes after the busses have arrived in the morning, Jerry Jordart, Jim Spicer, Manuel Lozano, Bill Steinhubel, Dan Shudick, and Tom Ford get a chance to shoot the breeze before starting classes. The mad rush is on. The first stop is the locker, where Sondra Marsh pauses to get her books and check her needs for the day. Then, off to that first hour class. Snow, slush, and frozen noses are common sights on an average winter day at Calumet. Students are relieved to get out of the cold weather and into the warmth of the school as they rush off of their busses. While waiting for school to begin, we think of all the homework we didn ' t have a chance to finish last night. For instance: the important his- tory test we didn ' t have time to study for, and the geometry problem we didn ' t have time to solve because we just had to go to that basket- ball game. After three hours and three boring subjects, it ' s finally lunch time! But as far as we ' re con- cerned lunch is over too quickly, and we hate the thought of going back to the rest of our classes. At last it ' s seventh hour, and boy are we happy! School is over, for another day at least. While hurrying to the busses, we are thinking: Enjoy yourself while you can; tomorrow is anoth- er day which will bring much of the same. Never a dull moment During the course of the day, we must take time out from our extra-curricular activities for our academic work. Vaughn de Hensen, Janet Charbonneau, and Ed Mahoney are studying diligently in their English class 14

Peanuts for polio Warming up from the biting cold with hot chocolate and sandwiches are: Marie Poremski, Susan Griggs, Pat Schwartz, Arlene Hamman, and Kay Daniel. Freezing femperatures and blustering weather failed to chill the spirit and energy of Calumet teens during the annual Polio Drive held on January 16. A variety of money making projects were headed by hard working committees and chairmen. These projects included bake sales, fudge sales, basketball games, slave auctions, class competition and the actual sale of peanuts on the designated day. A food canteen was also sponsored so that the workers could be relieved at intervals throughout the day the peanuts were sold. Courtesy and co-operation among the administration, faculty, and the student body helped Calumet take second place for the second consecutive year with a total of $2,338. This total bettered the previous record by $600. The competition included all the Gary area schools. Sold to the junior girls with combined finances they bought Grant Akin by auction from Dan Shudick, auctioneer, for two dollars. 13
