, I Sw ',,, Q Fhiajn K Clubs A rip-roaring time A NEW RESOLUTION While riding along farther and farther away from scool, I came to the realization that to- night was club night and that I had forgotten in my rush to make the bus. I really regretted that I had forgotten because club nights are such fun. Last week we initiated some new members and had a rip-roaring time. Some of the initiates were blindfolded and had to feed each other spaghetti. What sights they werel Well, I can enjoy dancing and eating at the school party tomorrow night. If only those boys would forget themselves and get out of that stag line, there would be fewer wall- flowers. Speaking of after-school activities, I was really sorry when the football season was over, for I think that is the very best time in the year. There was a slight regret in my mind when I saw the first snow, for I realized that there would be no more home room picnics until next semester when the snow melted. But that is enough precious time devoted to after-school activities, I must get down to busi- ness and concentrate on my lessons for tomor- row. Never again do I want to go through such a day as this has been. All day I was afraid that my sins would catch up with me, and I would be compelled to make up my long neg- Iected work. Anyhow, I have resolved to devote this eve- ning to study. How much more pleasant it would be to be able to say at the end of the day, I have done my work well today, in- stead of, I meant to do my work today. .

Catnapping The best class of the day rolled around at fifth hour. This was time for my cat nap. After having made a pretense of studying, I gave myself over to the sleepy atmosphere of study hall. Ambitious students, of whom East High has many, strolled into the library to do reference work or read for their own pleasure, but studying was not for me. I went to sleep, but there were no beautiful dreams for the guilty. I found myself alone in a large, cold, dismal room. One of my teachers had caught up with me. I had to labor over my neglected lessons. Why hadn't I done my work for today? The distant ringing of the bell broke into my delusion. It was a little while before I came to my senses enough to realize where I was and that it was time to go home. After piling myself with books, I trudg- ed wearily out the door, burdened with thoughts of more homework. Everything outdoors was bustling with activity. All modes of transportation could be seen. The most up-to-date vehicles were the jeeps and the motor scooters. The most common type of transportation was self- locomotion , namely walking. I was one of those unfortunates who were obliged to ride the bus. After much shoving and pushing, I finally managed to find ade- quate standing room.
