Tuesday Tempts Tickles, Turns ‘Peepers’ Teary On Tuesday, life had probably warmed up and started getting back into the “swing”, but other than being just this second day, Tuesday, didn’t offer too much in the way of thrills — unless it happened to be the night of a home basketball game.

Above—If that phone rings just one more time Mrs. Parker will surely scream! Well, everything seems to go wrong on Mondays. No wonder they call them “blue . Mrs. Parker can put them on “hold until tomorrow. At any time during the year Mon- day begins with a reluctance to get up and get going, but it was espe- cially difficult to prv oneself out of a warm bed on a Monday morning in the winter. That initial sting- ing slap of freezing air set one just hurdling back into the safety of a “toasty” bed. When one did finally make it to school, things weren’t much better for the atmos- phere was heavy in Monday’s moody “blahs.” Perhaps it was because life had slowed down and grown cold over the weekend, and Monday was the day to pick the rhythm back up to set things in motion.

Ideas Wrestle Mind And Body Bv the middle of the week all of the mechanisms of school life were piping hot and in full operation. Life at NHS had settled back into a nor- mal routine.

This group, then, on Wednes- day began preparing for Saturday, perhaps by building a float for the Christmas Parade, or by decorating trees in accordance to the season. Then, on Thursday, they decided what better day could there be for an NHS Wrestling Match than the day named after the strong Norse God of thunder and lightning. During those matches of strength the warring WRESTLERS do feel as if they have been struck by lightning, especial- ly if another lands on their head. The warmhearted thoughts of the weekend on Wednesdays, and the flying sparks of Thursday’s tourna- ments of human dynamo thawed out and fired up our mid-week spirits.
