UFE Barbara Swope and Rita Rehak hold the limbo stick as one of the Harlem Satellites sees how low he can go. Would you believe this is a soc-hop? Phil Miller, Susan McVicker, Karen Cunningham, and Frank Tracy must think it ' s a square dance. Our foreign exchange students, Akemi Murakami and Nurettin Cakan, wonder if they have to read all these books before they go back to their home country. The halls echo with an ominous non-sound strange to the habitat — it ' s called silence! However, the quiet halls will soon resound with feet shuffling, lockers opening and closing, people shouting and laughing. The hushed classrooms. . .students watching the clock tick off the last two minutes of class ... a bell ringing. . .and pupils racing to be first to the lunch line. Friends playing volleyball in the gym. . . groups playing together. . .girls accepting or re- jecting a date. Seeing happy faces at the last bell. . .books being scattered about at the days end . . . rushing for the nearest exit to hurry home, to work, or to a drive- in. . .This is a normal student ' s day at Northfield. The halls become quiet once more. With a small sigh, the teachers leave and the building becomes just an object in a distant field : but, tomorrow, it will be the center of human happiness and activity once more.

Our student life also in- cludes soc hops. Most of the time we dance, but sometimes we wait for the record to begin, and other times we just wait for the record player to be repaired. Are they waiting to go home or just waiting for friends? Such are the lives of Northfield students. If you want to know why they ' re just standing there, ask Barb Gaff, Linda Yentes, Kitty Chamberlain, or Kay Grandstaff. 1 1 f L fj Yes, everyone is hungry after a ball game.
