As summer vacation ends, students weary with these languid days return to school in a reluctant, yet an- ticipating mood. Concealing anxiety with outward in- difference, they nervously chat with old friends about the school term just beginning. Early arrivers scan en- rollment lists to find their homerooms where they will spend several minutes every morning for the rest of the year. The first bell, a sound to be repeated many times, signals all the students into the auditorium for preliminary instructions. While waiting, they speak with others whom they have not seen since the close of the previous semester. They discuss their vacations and other summer activities but always end with the plans they have for the days ahead. Then, as a mem- ber of the faculty mounts the stage, school is officially begun. However, before classes commence, the sched- ule cards showing each students daily routine are dis- tributed. Confused students seek assistance from guid- ance counselors and other faculty members in solving problems of subject choice and insuring that this academic term will be successful.
