Yet even with modern science and culture, we are searching for virtually the same things as those who have gone before us. The sun is our source of light, heat, and life it- self. No wonder it was worshipped by many of the older cultures. Religions have centered on the sun god, planting of crops was done by his token, and requests were made for his favor before undertaking feats of valor. As the sun sets on Catalina's fifth school year, casting its last rays on this phase of our lives, we pass onward, changing and growing, build- ing our lives up to their highest peak. We re- flect, we dream, and so we grow. Yes, all past cultures were peoples striving as we all must to find a place in the sun.

Never Have Enough Timel' Wait Teenagers l 'Q l fr., ig ,,,, Eyeing the bill that Kay Wertman has already run up, .lerry Ervin mentally figures, Now there goes next month's allowance, and that takes care of gas money for two weeks, and . . . The predominating wail, There is never enough time to do anything! crosses everyone's lips at one time or another during those thirty-nine weeks from September to June. The ever-present homework problem offers no let up, nor do miscellaneous extra time users such as after- school jobs, football and basketball games, talking on the telephone, taking the car apart, and of course, putting the car together again. Time for what? the older generation may ask. Everyone is alloted the same number of hours each day. Teen-agers arise! A twenty-five hour day is defi- nitely needed to drink a leisurely coke, ride around town, sleep, try to attract the attention of that new boy or girl, and still have plenty of time to clo nothing. The refrain, Here and there, this and that reigns over every waking hour of the school day land some sleep- ing ones, tool. Before that common disease Cutter exhaustionl sets in, summer vacation arrives. The sun turns the city into an oven, flies are buzzing, and everything is posi- tively wilted. We soon find that five weeks of com- plete collapse and boredom are too much for anyone! What ioy to be assured that the hustle and bustle of teen-age life is iust around the corner at Catalina. Mistleloe! I dare you to use it! smiles Joanne Cowgill as Don Walker Aha!
