Unusual Activities Part of Student Life This year unusual circumstances added to the ever- changing student life. During the hot spring months the classrooms were uncomfortable and, in order to keep cool, the faculty discovered the solution— teaching classes outside or on the stairways. New and different ways of filling leisure time in school were introduced. Besides studying in the library during their lunch-studies, students went to the Com¬ mons where they could relax and play games of chess. Some went to the gymnasium and played ping-pong. Other pupils took a stroll in the open courtyard. Dur¬ ing the early fall a television was set up in the small auditorium so that students and faculty could watch the World Series during their free hours. Many assemblies were staged in the auditorium. Some contained vital information concerning health, careers and auto safety. Other assemblies were pre¬ sented to raise money while entertaining students. During Christmas time members of the Art Club constructed ornaments and set up a wooden framework for a tree. Located in the Student Commons, the large unique “tree” was supported on a huge sheet of card¬ board and consisted of evergreen branches, colorfully decorated ornaments and silver tinsel. CARDBOARD ORNAMENTS AND TINSEL are placed on the Student Commons Christmas tree by art student Mike Gralski. 12
