Still in the spirit of the assembly, I found it diffi- cult to come down to earth to study, but it wasn't long until I found myself absorbed in biology, my first hour class. We studied the various parts of the human body. Our most perplexing problem was to find if the human being really has brains. When I had almost solved that problem, the ringing of the bell announced time for my math class. Ohl My aching head! Just thinking about the theorems, hypotheses and solutions of problems made me dizzy. Why did I ever take the course? l'm just saying that, for I really love math.

The large clock told me I had only one minute to climb three flights of stairs. With a wild dash I sped over several steps at once fairly confident that I would still be on time.

After a mellow assembly I went on to class. XBRQAGE A cogllllll 0 gc A perplexing problem -Q g f f ff n',I'x51'g nu in fxi I I-'L K D Theorems, hypotheses, and solutions L., Q ..7-

TravaiIIeurs Disposes For better business MENTAL VISIONS Trying to get my mind from food, I turned my thoughts to the advantages which East High of- fers to students. Pictures flashed through my mind. I wondered what the girls in homemaking class were doing. Realizing that I shouIdn't be thinking of food, I turned my thoughts to the equally interesting subject of men. The hand- some ones in mechanical drawing captured my attention. I didn't allow my thoughts to remain there long, but one by one I covered the different departments in our school. While my thoughts dwelt on history and Eng- lish, I recalled that I had been too busy last night to do my home work. I really had meant to do it. I I Tl1ere's no royal road to learning However, I decided to drop the matter of neg- lected home work until I had eaten my lunch. As the lunch bell rang, I gathered my last ounce of strength to reach the cafeteria. As usual the lunch line was packed, and many stu- dents were patting their best friends on the back reminding them of past favors. After much- confusion with silverware and trays, the students piled their plates, took a deep breath and hungrily devoured the contents on their trays.
