Over the top of a fence is placed a rope, the same amount on each side. The rope weighs one third pound per foot. On one of the ropes hangs -a monkey holding a banana, and on the other side is a weight equal to the weight of the monkey. | The banana weights two ounces per inch. The length of the rope in feet is equal to the age of the monkey, and the weight of the monkey in ounces is as much as the age of the monkey’s mother. The combined ages of the two monkeys are thirty years. . The weight of the banana plus one half the weight of the monkey is one fourth as much as the sum of the weights of the attached weight plus | 6Monkey see; Monkey do. the rope where all weights are in the same units. The monkey’s mother is one half as old as the monkey will be when it is three times as old as its mother was when she was one half as old as the monkey will be when it is two times as old as it is now. Find the length of the banana. Art lab.

Jitier Gilters “Can you tell me where to go please?”” Bewilderment characteriz- ed the unfamiliar students entering Freeman for summer orientation. Mark Steinhoff, the SCA president, extended a cordial welcome by informing listeners what to expect in the months ahead. Following introductions of the administration and SCA officers, eight seniors representing social and athletic aspects of Freeman spoke briefly. Afterwards, SCA Big Brothers and Sisters conducted perplexed young Rebels on a tour through the puzzling maze of halls. As one Big Sister, senior Leslie Sinclair, commented, ‘The program made the students feel like a real part of Freeman, along with alleviating the lost feelings that come with the first day.” The SCA council chose seventy-five seniors for Big Brothers and Sisters, designating hall monitors and pairs to work in homerooms. Opening day found confused new- comers frantically searching for room numbers. Hasty conversations about selected classes and schedul- “(can top that!” Amusing sophomores with tales of their first days at Freeman, Big Sisters Joy Via and Gail LeRoy attempt to calm shakey nerves, 14 Orientation ing dilemmas provided the opportunity to reaffirm old friendships. Agreeing with Mr. Anthony’s feelings that the first day ran.smoothly, one freshman added that ‘it was scary, but | enjoyed seeing all of my friends again.” Similar feelings were experienced also by teachers, who spent hours preparing classrooms and lesson plans. Using participation as his theme, Mark Steinhoff began the first assembly welcoming both new students and returning students to Freeman. Mark expressed his desire for every person to become involved by reminding them that ‘‘the key word that success depends upon is cooperation.” First-day pandemonium continued after school as panicky Rebs scurried up and down the ramp, locating misplaced buses. Overflowing conditions caused lines to form at the parking lot exits, while close-living Freemanites learned that walking was much more convenient, and quicker.
