The stillness of a deserted brick building . . . the coolness of a September morn- ing .. . the resistance of a closed door ... a sparkling beam of sunlight ... the roaring of car motors ... the ringing of a bell ... the harsh slamming of locker doors . . . the loud echoes of lively conversations . . . the unheard meditations of a mind ... the rhythmic clicking of typewriters . . . the clatter of lunch trays . . . the amusement of watching new students caught in the routine rush . . . the dis- gust of a student making a detour of large machinery and mud puddles . . . the competitive spirit exhilarated by athletes . . . the surging pride of the students when they sing “Cheer, cheer, cheer for ’ole Radford High” . . . the welcomed assemblies which mean a break in routine and shorter class periods-this is LIFE.
