Relaxation In today's fast-paced, pressure-filled society, it is not surprising that so many students are spending increasing amounts of time in pursuit of the fine art of relax mg. The methods by which this goal is realized vary with each student. During the school day, ‘If a man insisted always on being serious, and never allowed himself a bit of fun and relaxation, he would go mad or become unstable without knowing it.” Herodotus It is not difficult to find people indulging in their various forms of relaxation; dozing in the study hall, poring over a book in the library (probably gossiping with friends), listening to tapes in the student lounge, lounging at their lockers, or daydreaming in class about the up-coming weekend.

t Ima Imagination on the part of the student accounts for much of his success at VHS. It is necessary, to some extent, in all endeavors. It inspires art masterpieces, provides for interesting papers, and makes seemingly impossible math problems solv- able. Imagination may also be seen in such nonscholastic things as the way one dress- es, the things one says, and yes, even in the pages of the Rohian. “Imagination is more important than knowledge. Albert Einstein Through the vividness of a student’s imagination, the most boring lecture can set the stage for an exciting daydream. And a goal may be set and eventually realized because of an imagination- sparked dream. It is apparent that imagi- nation is important to all, and it plays a large part in the various achievements of students at VHS. 1.

Relaxa Relaxation during the school week is essential in order to sustain the student through his action-filled weekend, al- though relaxation may be wedged into his busy schedule. There is always time for sleeping in late on Saturday mornings and for taking a break from homework on Sunday nights to watch a favorite T.V. show. Relaxation, in all of its forms, is a necessary part of everyones life. It pro- vides time to escape from the day's pres- sures and prepares one for the more tur- bulent days to come. 1. Pia Starkovich and Jean Richards find it easy to relax in the library. 2 Kathy Fleming laughs at the teacher when he tells her to get off the desk. 3. Foosball is a game that relaxes Dave Vack and Bob Nori. 4 Bob Thayer, Brad Skytta, and Tin Markkuia rest between classes. 5. John Gurtaski finds it more comfortable on the floor than in a chair. 6 Sheri Tampte is very involved in her reading 7. Steve Cofce plays teacher for the day. tion
