Studies Furnish Variety, Challenge for Students Daily Routine CHATTERING, LAUGHING AND nearly “dying of starvation,” students take part in one of the earmarks of student life, the lunch line. Studies, games, fashions, assignments, projects, lunches, meetings, dances, fads, and dates are all significant aspects of school life. Reflected in each of these activities are the emotions, attitudes, and feelings of each individual, as well as the whole student body. Changing rules or activities usually have a definite effect on students. With the modification of the lunch schedule arose an aura of discontent. Students, however, learned to conserve their time and thus adjusted to the shortened lunch period. Other adjustments were also made — eating popcorn after school was quickly accepted by the student body. Mohair sweaters, charm bracelets, loafers, and knee sox were just some of the popular fashions seen dur- ing and after school. Through all the activities students succeeded in learning their lessons, as well as having loads of fun. THE BEATLE MANIA that swept through schools all over the country did not by any means bypass Highland’s senior circle.
