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.

During art, I spent most of the time drawing ap- petizing dishes and drooling over them. ArtisticaIly speaking Up rg 1-his 1-img ,,,,, ..3-.

Even though I should have joined their ranks, the out-of-doors beckoned me to come and enjoy the sunlight and fresh air. A kaleidoscope of color struck my eye as I tripped down the steps. Brilli'ant sweaters and ties contributed to the colorful picture. Seeing a group of my friends on the lawn having a merry time, I sauntered over to join in the fun. Miss- ing some of them, I realized that the exciting movie had lured them. Amidst our chattering, music floated from an open window. Upon inquiry, l found it was the Christian Fellowship Club having their noontime devotions. The untimely bell rang. It always breaks in at the wrong moment. Waving farewell and shout- ing last minute reminders, I reluctantly broke away and went to gym class where we went through a series of exercises.
