Study - study - study - egads, what a subject! But, nevertheless, we have it, and plenty of it, too. We can certainly be thankful for the wide range of electives we have, for they surely make our school day more lively. To be allowed to study the subjects of our own choice is a privilege which very few other schools are capable of offering, and fewer still actually do. So, in some respects, for this necessary menace, we are still grateful . . . Upper left picture, going clockwise: Six of us are found cramming for an exam, at 7:59 on Monday morning, half-way up the stairs ... A classroom full of girls, with their heads all bowed, are laboriously taking down dictation, with the exception of Miss Noelker (2nd row, 3rd bock), who is engaged in writing a note to somebody, and doesn ' t wont to get caught, or else, just wanted to get her face in the picture . . . Miss Betty June Keesling, one of our six-point stu- dents, has managed to receive on A-plus overage for three years, now. She is shown below, while checking up on some detailed research, on Einstein ' s theory of evolution, and we of the staff wish to thank Miss Keesling for breaking away from her work for a moment, in order to pose for this picture . . .

And, regard- less of all our ribbing, we think you ' re great. Don ' t lose the fine start that you already have, but keep adding to it, and make a fine name for yourself. You ' re loaded with ideas, brains, and out- standing personalities, and we say to you, the best of luck . . . xtsSih,„ Naturally, this is expec- ted to be the smallest section in the entire book, but, just for the appease- ment of the faculty and for the mere sake of for- mality, we have devoted approximately two whole pages to study . . .

. ma won Going along, side by side with study, is work, and, in a broader sense, the two are the same. It ' s obvious enough that study is work (ask any boy or girl in high school), and, also, work can be termed as a means of study. But for our purposes, and those of this book, we shall consider work as that which is not done in class; extra work, and outside activities. Attempts shall be made to give the praise and credit to those people who are always out of the lime-light, seldom receiving the honor for doing jobs unseen, yet necessary and vital . . . Page 26
