Classrooms, textbooks, teachers, After a fresh start and a new feeling toward the year ahead, students paid more and more attention to their academic classes . . . to their studies. A fresh load of student teachers boosted new life into science and government classes. While in other rooms a new joke, a new teacher or a new textbook seemed to get things rolling. But, by the end of the first week returning students fell back into their old pattern of study. For some, that meant carrying the old book home every day while for others, it meant last minute cramming. Teachers didn't care one way or the other, just so the work was done. The teachers realized, no doubt, that for the working student it was diffi- cult to have vocabulary finished for English, Chapter 12 read for govern- ment and problems A-E worked for Algebra all in the late hours of the night. So, they were content to let Johnny ask 80 questions before the test and stall for time while the other half of his brain was still absorbing the notes he took yesterday. Once in a while, to give the kids a break, teachers showed films. Any- one walking down the hall and passing a dark room would duck in unin- vited, knowing that this was undoubtedly one of the coolest rooms in the school. Other times teachers ushered their 36 students to the library, encour- aging them along the way to pick up all the information they could on Mark Twain, the theory of relativity or an accurate count of all the 32- year-old writers that died of influenza before 1900. Needless to say, the days teachers were absent were the best days of all. Those were the days students learned the least and slept the most. Upon returning, students felt no restrictions on expressing senti- ments and regrets at the teachers coming back. ' lt all meant one thing, back to the studies, back to the chalkboard.
