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.

TYPICAL DATE Dating is a large part of the development of a college student. Without it, life at school can be dull; with it, college days can be wonderful. And so it happened that a sharp young man named Ben Lynch spotted a cute coed named Becky McAlister. We spotted them and followed this “typical couple” on a “typical date.” Getting ready for that big date, Becky makes certain her makeup is placed to best advantage. “Got a date with an angel’—Ben ties that knot a second time for perfection’s sake. “Hmm, didn’t think I was the only one.” Ben sneaks a peek over Becky’s shoulder as she signs out for the evening. “Two, please’’—-the Tennessee Theatre is tonight’s top date choice for our couple. Both seemed pleased with the prospects of the evening. Ben, being a typical college chap, has one thought in mind after the show—food. He and Becky journey to Melfi's for pizza. And so goodnight. In a moment Becky must scurry in to tell her roommate about her “heavenly” date; Ben to assure the Elamites that “this chick’s on the beam.” The moral to the story is, this thing brings results—Becky now sports Ben’s class ring, and he’s strictly proud of his new steady. Ben and Becky are both sophomores. Ben’s from Winchester, Tennessee and is a member of Alpha Kappa Psi. Becky, a Bisonette and secretary of last year’s freshman class, is from Fayetteville, Tennessee.
