A TYPICAL DAY IN C. H. S 1:45—Study hall, the typing room, and the library, all a- bound with studious seniors. (Just ask Miss Powers if they’re not studious). We may also hear the more melodious practicing for the operetta. 2:30—Most of our ambition is gone by 7th period. The typing room, study hall, and music room are still open for those who wish to work. On the highway, the driver trainees, under the direction of Mr. Tor- natore, are stopping traffic. 3:15—At 3:15 our rush to the door has become a condit- ioned reaction—everyone who isn’t “in training” rushes for Chappie’s. 7:30—Although we often seem glad to get out of school at 3:15, the evenings find us returning for some ac- tivity. Monday—Mrs. Mero directs a lively chorus, espec- ially in the spring as “Die Fledermaus” draws near. Tuesday—This night belongs to Dramatic Club which has either a meeting or a rehearsal. Some- times the Thespians adjourn to Mr. Padgug’s home for an informal session. Wednesday—Mr. Wright drills the band for march- ing and the annual Spring Concert. The language clubs freeze in room 18 while they discuss their pen pals and drink coke. Thursday—On the first Thursday, members of the Photo Club listen to Mr. Sharpe (and add a few re- t marks of their own). Other Thursdays the K. E. girls are planning social events (or planning ways to pay for them). Friday—During basketball season, the gym is pack- ed to the ceiling, but when a dance is planned there’s plenty of room on the floor. Thus we find another week has quickly passed, bringing us even closer to the time when we will ac- count happy high school experiences only among our memories. —PHILLIP CONNELL page twenty-three

A TYPICAL DAY IN C. H. S 8:00—The buses halt at the door of CHS and expel their cargoes of immigrants from their native lands of Wampsville, Clockville, etc. 8:57—By now everyone who’s coming (except Nunz) has arrived and we start the day by trying to say the pledge to the flag correctly, and then say a prayer, to begin classes in a happy frame of mind. 9:00—This frame of mind quickly disappears in Solid Ge- ometry when the test is seen on the board, and in French II where Miss Gobillot is wielding her club. 9:45—From lines and “Pierre” to Miss Clines and Shake- speare is our next transition. Most of us agree that if Macbeth had died in the first scene, it wouldn’t have been soon enough. 10:40—This period is a pot pourri—some Seniors languish in study hall while others are in Art or Sec. prac- tice. Many feel obliged to roam through the build- ing spreading cheer, (looking for a morning snack). 11:15—Four days a week in modern problems, Miss Mackey teaches social and economic problems, but on Friday the seniors meet a problem of their own—“The American Observer”. Across the corridor, Mr. Pad- gug is enlightening those who always take speech for granted that it’s a complicated process. 12:00—Those who are going home to eat advance carefully to avoid being run down and trampled by those who are bent in being first in the cafeteria line. 12:30—Noontime is the scene of “quickie” meetings which seldom accomplish anything, and pictures on stage which seldom turn out. 1:00—In order to avoid having a test, the chemistry room is as quiet as a tomb before the arrival of Miss Daniels. There is neither sound nor smell from the lab. We must admit, however, that this is not ty- pical. page twenty-two
