The three typical students-luan Nash Patsy Miles, and Earl Wheatie Patton-are seen first in English class. Wheatie sneaks into the room as the echo of the tardy bell fades away. l-le is given a White taclcet. Patsy crams tor the usual vocabulary test. During the next class our students delve into that mysterious branch oi mathematics -algebra. While the other pupils watch fasi- nated, Patsy, luan, and Wheatie trace on the board the complicated adventures of Messrs. X and Y. Having reached the amazing con- clusion that Mr. X travels at the rate of eleven and twenty-four hundredths miles per hour Whenever Mr. Y puts five hundred seventy- eight bushels of corn into a silo eight feet in diameter, they leave algebra in triumph and are pushed along to assembly. There are the usual announcements, a FDIC-gram Cperhaps a playl, more announce- FD t ' ' ' en s, and then dismissal to third period.

The production phase of the war Work in our school is supervised by the Iunior Red Cross Council. Officers of the group are Bobby Thornton, president Cfirst semesterD, Madeline Lockwood, president Csecond semes- terlg Bobbie lean Iohnson, secretary: and Eliza- beth Breitenberg, treasurer. This council doesn't actually do all the War Work but appoints chairmen to supervise it. These chairmen in turn secure the cooperation of the entire student body in all the activities which are helping to shorten the war. Oh, We know what were doing isn't spec- tacularg but together with what thousands of schools like ours are doing it's all going to amount to something.

After a delicious lunch Wheatie watches luan and Patsy give shiny noses a final pat be- fore the bell Warns that fourth period has come. The day is not exactly typical in this chem- istry class, where, instead of reciting from the book, students experiment in the laboratory. The experiments prove reasonably successful. At least no serious mistakes occur, and one hour later the building is still standing. During the fifth period our trio attends civics class. Wheatie reports the latest political moves in Washington, and a heated discussion develops. The library is a place for study, Miss Clifton reminds as the three file into senior study room for the last period. Wheatie gets out his books and settles down to serious study. Why, Wheatie, we know she said study, but don't you think she meant academic sub- jects? Leaving the library an hour later, luan and Patsy join six hundred other students in the usual struggle with lockers While Wheatie joins the rest for fifteen minutes in seventh period. Then, homeward bound, our typical students Walk through the halls, proud to be part of a wonderful organization-our school. PAGE 19 Period IV-Chemistry. Period V-Civics. Period VI-Library.
