A YEAR AT RADFORD HIGH begins with the traditional “get together’’ on the front steps. Tanned faces, sun-bleached hair, freshly pressed shirts, and happy laughter greet the first of the 180 school days. Lazy summer days are over, however sad we may be to see them go. But the anticipation of new classes and teachers, ball games and pop corn, snow and ice skat- ing, dances and dates makes us eager to swing wide the doors to another school year. LOCKERS ARE A VITAL PART of our school life. They are opened and closed a hundred or more times a day. Somewhere in their messy depths we find six textbooks, the keys to the mysteries of our classes. There, too, are kept a variety of notebooks, work- books, chewing gum wrappers, notes, scrap paper, and other indispensible “junk.” It’s amazing how lockers hold the belongings of one or more persons, support those dreamv-eyed leaners, and absorb the stares of a thoughtful student weighing the problem of which book to take home. Lockers are indeed remarkable contrivances. CLASSES are the largest part of school life. For some strange reason we become accustomed to a certain desk in a particular class; we listen for that peculiar creak in the floor of a classroom above; or we glance at the names of a now forgotten love carved in a desk top. A decorated bulletin board catches our eye and we smile at an upside down letter in the title. As tests are given out, the peculiar odor of freshly mimeo- graphed paper strikes our nostrils. We un- consciously notice the posture of a classmate next to us. Often the fifty minutes are live- ly and interesting . . . occasionally they are uneventful and dull. — 3 —
