The Beginning of an Eternity As the alarm clock bell rings in your ear you remenisce about the old days when they used to ring the church bells before you were hung. But then again, it’s really about the same. As their life passes before their eyes, we seem to visualize the upcom- ing year. As they face the unknown so do we. How will I like my teachers, or more importantly, how will they feel about me? Just because I hit the Senior English teachers will a pickle during a food fight two years ago, will she still remember? As you dress and begin the morn- ing ritual of fixing your hair, plans for the year begin to form in your head. Friends, assemblies, pep rallies, ballgames, concerts. Homecoming, Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas break, Valentines Day, Spring Break, Prom, FFA and FHA Spring Banquet, and (at last) Graduation-all these seem so far away but are here and gone before we know it. 12 Student Life

it has loQg been established that study halls arc set up to provide students with ample time to work on studies that are to be completed. The amazing thing seems to be that there is one person in ten who actually uses a study hall for its intended purpose. Instead of completing studies, the time is usually used for sleeping, gossiping, aggravating the teacher, running around the halls, and just generally “goofing-off.” But the most important use, at least for the ROCKETTE, is that of allowing the communication needed to write copy and design lay-outs. The most interesting fact about study halls is the location where they are established. Requiring a quiet place, they are held in the gym, library, and classrooms. Can you ac- tually imagine trying to study while relaxing on bleachers for 90 minutes with a P.E. class below you or in the library with the noise of the citizen- ship teacher drilling in your ear? This is also accompanied by the cons- tant reminder of “Fritt, get in your assigned seat.” So what’s the use of study halls? Student Life 11
