After Adjusting to Routine, M.P. Students As the school year progresses into its third month, our campus is witnessing a gradual transition from the chaos of orientation into the familiar reflective mood of Autumn. Myers Park and its students are assuming a quieter air as the real business of school becomes apparent. Mid-term exams have a so¬ bering effect on classes which have been in session for nearly a quarter. Yet one does not forget that Myers Park aims at educating the whole person. Not only is scholarship stres¬ sed, but also creativity in our minds and bodies is essential in developing a sensitive human being. A subtle, yet noticeable, change is occurring on the campus. Late Autumn is a reflection of the gradual maturing of both the student and the individual. R.U.R. reveals a world of the future This year monograms are appearing on nearly every article of clothing. Sweaters, skirts, blouses, and even boys’ pants are being given an identity. Chris Blucher and John Sadoff show their symbols of identification. During the lunch period Maria Guillet tries to concentrate in the Student Lounge on incomplete homework. Seniors are given the privilege of using the Student Lounge during the three lunch periods. Some study; others consider it just a place to relax. 18
