Harold Mealy conducts Campus School students in their violin lessons The Campus School BY BOB BRYSON Visitors to the ISU Campus School will re- ceive a friendly hello-possibly in Spanish. The Campus School has 120 students in grades one, two, four, iive, and six who are taking a wide and varied curriculum. In all the grades the students get practice in speak- ing Spanish. Each year as they progress, more and more reading material is added. The students also learn to read music. They have given a Christmas program and pre- sented an operetta. They also have their own rhythm band. The students add Variety to their curricu- Is Dual Purpose lum by such extra activities as publishing their own newspaper, the Bengal Kitten, building projects for their science fair and encouraging people to contribute books to their library. The purpose of the school is actually to serve as a method of demonstration for education majors. Many ISU students get their student teaching experience at the Campus School. For this reason the students chosen for the Campus School have a wide range of intellects. This insures classroom-like atmosphere and conditions. To aid education majors and observers, a

number of them do succeed in actually attend- ing church on Sunday morning. Pocatello has many churches and ISU students and faculty are active in almost every denomination in the cit . As for the remaining group that doesn't make it to church, in most cases their day doesn't begin until 11 or 12 o'clock. They get up just in time to get dressed in their Sunday best for dinner from Saga Food Service. Meanwhile the students who attended church services are making their way back to the campus and everyone converges on the Owen-Redfield Dining hall at 12 230. After a delicious meal Qcontrary to rumors, Saga meals are just as good as the ones mother used to makej students return to the dormi- tories. Some await the opening of the Library at 2:00. They may spend the rest of the after- noon and evening studying. Other students await the opening of the Physical Science Film Theater, also at 2. Many fine movies are shown there and admis- sion is free to all students. Still a third group of students spends at least 15 to 20 minutes thinking of good excuses why they shouldn't do any studying until Monday. Nine times out of ten they do think of an excuse. Depending on the time of H ..p. we-V year and the weather, there A are many things to do on a Sunday afternoon if you don't plan to study. Hunting in the fall, skiing in the winter, swimming, having a picnic in Ross Park or in the hills that surround Pocatello, playing - tennis on the ISU courts or ' just relaxing on the quad are only some of the things stu- dents iind to do. Many male students play touch football in the autumn and baseball in the spring on the intramural field west of the gymnasium. Golf is popu- lar with some students. At 5 p.m. students again gather at the Owen-Redfield dining hall for supper. They dress more informally than at dinner. After supper it is back to studies for some, maybe tele- vision or justrelaxing in the pad. .X Many students participate in evening church services and others return to the Library. In Graveley and Turner Halls the girls start their gossip sessions and retell the high- lights of their weekend dates while putting up each other's hair and attending to other duties intended to make them attractive to the opposite sex. In the men's dorms many bull sessions start and two or three will last until the wee morn- ing hours. After the doors of the women's dorms are locked at 11 p.m. a quiet settles over the campus. The library closed at 10, the Student Union is closed and the parking lots at the men's dorms begin to fill up. By midnight only a few hardy souls are still awake. Most of ISU's students have gone to dreamland or nightmareland, depending on what is their schedule for Monday. Another weekend has come and gone at ISU and in a few hours the sun will rise again to herald a brightnew week for the 4,000 indi- viduals in theistrange -community on iifth avenue. . Xx 'I'i I 'Tl Around the Student Union television is always a good place to see the boys and catch the Sunday afternoon game.
