CONCENTRATION AND CONSTERNATION ARE THE MARKS OF A TYPICAL STUDENT We all have memories about someone or some- thing existing in one or all ol' our classrooms. We can remember those crooked paths through the aisles, the dusty and chalk-scribbled blackboards. the grinding of pencil sharpeners, the bright lights in the early morning hours, and the glances and challenging stares ol' the teachers. We recall the quick jokes and fleeting wit, the live-minutes-before-the-belI-rings desire to be outdoors, the unmercil'ul homework assign- ments, and that first jug slip. We call to mind that very hrst personal contribution to the work ol' the class, perhaps an original idea or project that met with success. We remember the friends we met and made there, and ideas discussed and debated there. One of the greatest satisfactions a high school graduate can have is the knowledge that he had made his homeroom or any of his classrooms a place ol' maturing through learning through dis- covering: a high school is an empty shell with- out the presence of persevering and hardworking students.

The pro- gram was aired on Christmas day. Unfor- tunately, the team finished second in the opening round, losing to a sharp Amelia squad while defeating Withrow. Our men's effort, as usual, was a credit to the tradi- tional hghting spirit of Bacon Spartans. r favrinn +7 does not equal 57 we ll was C'ulumhu.r In 1492 and John Glenn In l962, .rays senior Tom
