TAKING A BREAK FROM STUDIES For most of us, taking a break rated higher on the mental marquee than books or classes. It didn’t need to be a large affair—most of the time it wasn’t. Maybe the urge hit several of us at once, and we piled in the buggy and headed for Joe’s to be served in style, a la buttercup in a Coke bottle. Then sometimes it was the student body en miasse that invaded Edwin Warner's sanctu- ary for that most welcome of all breaks. Beau- tiful Day. For many of us, taking a break meant just sleeping. On Dismal Day for instance we all “sacked out’ and let it rain. Small correc- tion—Dismal Day was the most beautiful day of winter quarter. Confusion most wonderful reigns after chapel. Any table boasting less than six seated and two standing wasn’t worth its salt. Favorite hangout was the Drug. We went there after a date, on a date, or in hopes of getting a date. Romance flourished over a coffee cup. During the big snow we took a break, al- most got ‘broken in some cases, and built The Colussus, granddaddy of all snowmen. Picnics are great favorites at DLC. Pack- ing sandwiches, potato chips, and something for the ants, we went to the great outdoors. Jerry Ford, Sondra Driver, Shelva Chowning, and Bill Biggs load up Bull's sports car with the food, portable radio and themselves for a grand time. One of the best ways to take a break from the work and toil of study is in the wonder- ful days of Mr. Sun. During that time the roof becomes a place: and the tans become obvious. Here we caught two young ladies as they make their way with the standard equipment for sunbasking in style. And always, we left our books on the most fondly remembered break indicator of them all, the Great Wall.

STUDIES We occasionally bound ourselves out to that stern trainer of minds, study. The necessity of such dawned upon us when the yellow cards went home, and certain individuals called parents were less than delighted. In order to keep the white card’s report from causing equal furor, we resolved to buckle down and really dig. After all, that’s chiefly why we’re here—so we can leave, robed in black with diploma under our arm and mortar board sitting at a proud angle. The scientific minded among us worked in the new chemistry lab in Burton Gym’s basement. These two are a bit dubious as to the outcome of this endeavor. Play production (Speech 311, 312, 313) kept busy with major productions and arena plays. They painted, built, cut, and hauled to make striking sets foreach pro- duction. Drama and speech students got a real taste of do-it-yourself for the days to come. Construction of a different kind was going on else- where in the building in the home economics labora- tory. From the elementary steps to some fancy tailoring these home ec girls pack away valuable knowledge for a career in the home or in the working world. Education is a popular major; more people come within its sphere of influence than with any other de- partment. Its final step is student teaching. Gail Dod- son directs an eighth-grade class in a discussion of slavery. These business advocates work on that speed that will help them land a high-paying job. ‘Teaching its students to operate new kinds of machines is a welcome contribution of the business department. All roads lead ultimately to Crisman Memorial Library, whether for studying, magazine reading, or working on research papers. Mary Glenn Mason, refer- ence librarian, checks the card catalog for correct alpha- betizing. Worthy though the intentions, it looks as though things got slightly out of hand. But what can you expect on a bright spring day with that Special Some- one nearby? There are times when political science just doesn’t meet the need ... and Plato has been dead such a long time... .
