LOT I Under the pressure of high school life, the wise students practice planned economy of activity. 'fo include in their busy lives all the activities, both per- sonal pleasures and community duties, they must determine on a deliberate speed as contrasted with an unorganized rush. Term papers, French verbs, math problems, hockey practice, all must be smoothed into place with numerous club activities, current novels, here and there the manufacture of argyle socks, and a date or so, during the twenty-four hours allotted to each of them. First things must come Hrst, as every experienced senior will inform the wide-eyed freshman. UShould I go to the game and show my school spirit by rooting for the team, or should I stay home and work on that last minute Iinglish unit? U ullhotogra- phy club and football practice meet at the same time. XVill they cut me from the team if I miss another day? How can I work in study periods when the other kids are having so much fun? ':I've been elected president of the club now. Looks as if I'll have to drop tennis to go to all the meetingsf' These are only a few of the many problems con- fronting us. They can be crammed into our already full schedule only by careful planning. Une requisite is that we do not bite off more of this richness of life than we can swallow without indigestion. Learn to play the clarinet, concentrate our energies on that tough Latin course, land a part time job if we will but devote our time wisely in learning a few things well. lVe should choose the things most important to our welfare and happiness and let the others go their ways. The art of planned study is another important element in active participation in school recreation. The student who spends a few hours in intensive review before his exams receives much better marks than the anxious one who, clutching at the last straw, stays up all night cramming frantically, and arrives at the exam worn to a frazzle, with bleary eyes to acquit himself feebly but nobly with a D. Although the same time, twenty-four hours, is given to each human being in which to live day by day, it is strange to notice how frequently we hear those two quite common complaints about time, 'KI don't have anything to do! and 'KI just don't have enough timel' 3
