Games People Play, Every Night And Every Day Students at'Hall seemed to find time to do many things in a school week. School work would take up much of a students time and when it was done it was off to work at a local business or out to an interstate oasis. The old axiom all work and no play makes school life quite dull. Those juniors and seniors on the IIDP program had open campus. This free time allowed students to unwind after long hard hours of classes. A popular past time on those nice fall days was a stroll along the side streets adjoining Hall. The long harsh winter months forced the students into the lounge and games became the thing. A friendly card game could be found going on most any time. Board games became an at home past time. Chess and Monopoly became the favorite games. The clear spring air with the warm days found frizbes floating in the air on the east campus. Those looking for a tan could be seen on the steps or grass hills with pant legs rolled up, greeting the first rays of sun. 1. Brain Victor shows Debbie Lusietto how to stand an egg on it's end. 2.
