DRY6 OF CHALLENGE It wasn't all fun and games. There were challenges in just about anything we did. Like mastering the Pythagorean theorem or Comp I. Like being picked for the Drill Team or the Varsity. Like making a deadline for the yearbook or newspaper. More than that even—just deciding to go out for football or Emerald or Comp II. Growing up wasn't easy. STUDENT LIFE-7

DAY6 FOR LEARNING Despite increasingly frequent stories in the press about a need to go 'Back to the Basics in educa- tion. we were learning. In fact, we were told we were more serious in our academic work than our brothers and sisters in the ‘sixties. We often, out of a concern for get- ting a higher grade, opted for the easier course or the easier teacher. And some of us used crib notes on tests or copied someone else's homework. But most of us were more often attentive to our studies than not. We were, for the most, college bound. And the rest of us realized that, even in the work-a-day world, we would have to have postgraduate training. So. even though we were masters at goof- ing off. we did understand that these were also days of learning. And that realization itself was a lesson few of us missed. STUDENT LIFE—9
