Meaning of excitement varies in Eagle Tempo: The heart beat of an Eagle. The last two seconds of the game and Ellinwood is behind by one point. The clock ticks away as the center grabs the ball and leaps high in the air for the basket it goes in. Fans scream, coaches and play- ers hug, and faces smile every- where, except on the other side. That is excitement. That speeds the heartbeat of an Eagle. It depends on the student, of course, as to whether something is exciting or not. For example, breaktime for the kids consists of talking with friends and stuffing rolls in their mouths. Pulse-rates are normal during this time. But, an overly-dry doughnut or a dropped orange juice bottle usually in- creases the tempo. The thumps of a heart are slower in the morning. Getting out of bed and crawling around trying to find some clothes is not an overwhelm- ingly exciting experience. Nor is a bus ride to school. Scenery doesn’t change much from day to day. And for those who lived in town, excite- ment was deciding whose yard to cut across each morning. Listening to a lecture given by a talk a tive teacher can last forever and cause a throbbing heart to nearly come to a stopping point. Things pick up a bit after bending over to retrieve the pencil that was dropped and finding instead a note from that special someone. A sophomore reaches into his Eagle Territory locker expecting to touch a book, and touches instead a mouse. An- other discovers leftover macaroni and cheese from lunch, another finds toothpaste between books. The seniors laugh. mpo Some say you must have a strong heart upon entering Eagle Territory. Nonsens . Rumors of heart attacks are simply that. Why, there hasn’t been one since Hello?
