The Ebb and LifeatEnsley. . . a carousel of varied moods. The times of joy. . . hope. . . excitement. . . anxiety. The companionship, the solitude, the spirit. The ups and downs of the revolving seasons. September issues forththe friendly hi’s and gay hello’s of students as they fill the halls to overflowing. Busy teachers with too much to do and too little time. . . the strained expressions on registration day. Jubilant shouts when schedules work. . . frowns and almost tears when classes and teachers are all wrong. The tired boys drag home from the park after a hard workout by the coaches. New freshmen buy ’’elevator tickets to the fourth floor.” New subjects, new classmates, new teachers. . . and old friendships burning with a stronger, brighter flame. The first wisps of fall’s chilling breezes and drenching rains bring forth bright shades of oranges, greens, and browns to lighten the dull halls. Cheering crowds lead the Jackets to vie-

low of changing moods tory in three consecutive games ... not even ebbing at a 6-0 defeat by the powerful Tigers. At last the supposedly indestructible Woodlawn Jinx is broken and a funeral held to commemorate the remains. September fades into October with whirling, twirling dancing of multi-colored leaves. As November nears, skirts and sweaters appear and the anxious anticipation of the long awaited hayride with that Special someone. Goblins and ghosts of the younger set only distantly affect our routine but still call forth long forgotten memories. The tension mounts with each passing day as the Thanksgiving Holiday and that most important game creep near ... the turkey, the pie, the gaiety, the laughter, and plenty of Alka-Seltzers for the morning after. Old Jack Frost is here to stay . . . bulky coats leave little room for books in all ready overcrowded lockers . . . boys with new sweaters begin to hold their own in the parade of fashion . . . Christmas shopping for that one and only poses problems and excitement . . . parties, parties, parties . . . the two weeks pass with a-mazing swiftness. New Year’s resolutions are made only to be broken in the next moment. Students reluctantly re-enter the halls of Ensley to prepare for the semester exams. The new semester is much like the old, except basketball takes the spotlight . . . the speech department rehearses the spring play . . . the band concentrates on concerts and shows instead of marching and precision drills. Students remember last year’s Big Freeze and wish for another as a diversion from the tedious routine of everyday school work . . . Plans to complete. Dreams to fulfill. Hope mingles with frustration, chaos, : despair, restlessness. And the pulse beat of activity moves steadily. Spring . . . unbelievably sudden. The sun- j drenched school-yard beckons . . . windows are ij thrown open . . . spirits escape. There is so little L time ... so many things to do. Loyalties stand L divided . . . What to choose? Quick backward I glances to patterns that were but are no more . . . J1 long, measured glances to patterns that lie ahead, p Then June. Terminus. Seniors say their last [' good-byes . . . underclassmen move forward . . . joy and sadness blur together. The last of the multishifting scenes falls into place. Patterns have blended, shifted, changed . . . but are not lost. They are captured forever in our hearts and minds.
