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.

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.

And we know the real reason behind city students being required to attend school even during snow storms: the biology teachers want to study abomidable snow students. Obvi- ously these, and other occurances, to a casual observer, would bring to mind the time-honored expression, “thun- deration’1. 1.

But. after an ex- tensive investigation of the situation it is apparent that these “normal” people do some very strange things. After all, how many liberated members of the girl's swimming team would remove from the lockers of unli- berated swimmers an article of apparel that is deemed unessential only by liberal-minded thieves? It's hard to believe that the highly inquisitive and investigative mem- bers of the physics classes find it necessary to take a break from their extensive research by escaping into the halls to play with “slinkies , little rubber balls, and anything else they can find that qualifies as a playful experiment. Since when is it normal for the entire bass section of the A Cappella Choir to develop an insatiable desire that can be satisfied only by playing a form of musical chairs while the substitute isn't looking? What well-adjusted swimmer is so insecure in the deep end of the pool that he must drag a ladder with him, just to keep from getting water up his nose?
