Students Seek Diversion from Teachers and Homework Jeannie Sargent and Patty Johnstone have a sneak preview of the culinary masterpiece. Disproving the notion that this country ' s youth are inactive and lazy, numerous Redskins spent their leisure time in a round of hardly peaceful activity. Ardent fun-lovers seldom waited for the week end, but carried their cheer into the classroom. On week ends Poka- gon State Park was the site of tobogganing and ice skating when it was cold enough. The promise of a ski-run in the northern part of the state sent expectant skiers to the sports shop or attic for their equipment. In spring a few spartan swimmers ignored the chill to take a plunge in their former skating rink. On Friday, after the football or basketball game, those who had remembered to buy their tickets under the new closed-dance- system of the Student Council went to the after-game hop. Saturday morning was a time for greasing the car, hemming a dress, and preparing for Saturday night. Saturday night meant a slumber party, a dance, a movie, a hayride, a burger and fries, a hello to Sunday morning. Later Sunday morning was church. For some, leisure time meant a chance for a nap or a quiet session with a book — a moment to recover from the rest of the week. But for many, sleep became a for- gotten word as they were forced to forego their rest to engage in active spare time. nd Judy Mather take advantage of hi; serving at a party.

Administration Finds Welcome Aid in Student Help Efficiency and office skills were sharpened when stu- dents assisted in offices and classrooms around the school. The guidance offices employed clerical crews who helped say a cheerful good morning to those who call the school, search the files for the exact spot for a student folder, mimeograph files of announcements, and take messages. In study hall an army of girls exercised their best pen- manship in taking attendance while boys exercised their walking apparatus in picking up absence slips. Other boys worked in the athletic office watching over the valuables of pupils in gym classes. Days running from seven to four o ' clock made student graders necessary in some classes. Students filling this capacity gained new appreciation of their teachers ' work and found that principles of grammar and physics are long remembered after a person corrects them two-hundred times on a theme or physics test. North Side would have been a harder place to keep running without help. Rather than feeling that they were purely charitable, students had to admit that the jobs were valu able to them also. 10
