Minutes pass, hours glide by, day flows into day, week into week, seasons turn, ' T T lTTl TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT and years slip by before we know it. So it is at Shady Side, where the hours, days, and weeks have at times seemed slowg yet when viewed in retrospect, they have passed all too quickly. Out of one short year made up of seemingly endless routine we remember the high spots, but tend sometimes to forget the very things which make Shady Side what it really is. Math problems, English themes, book reports, history outlines, writing up experiments, putting in the hours of practice necessary to make the team-these fade awayg yet we remember more or less vividly being tapped for Sargon, making Cum Laude, Hubbing an exam for getting a 95D, calling Ann for a date for the prom, or walking across the platform on Commencement TITT 'T T T T TTI TT W l T T TT T TTTTTTT TT T T T 'TTU Tl T T T T T T T T T WT T i T l T T TTT 'T TT' T T l Ti 1 TTT TT 'll T TY ' 'l ' T T T T T TT T T T l T T T ' T l T T V T l T T T T T T T l I T T ' l T l l TT 'T T T larly those on a varsity squad-the period between the end of athletics and the de- parture of the busses never seems long. The boarders, however, have plenty of time for a hot shower, a good dinner, a little relaxation with ping pong or pool, time even to phone the girl friend before the buzzers again dominate life as board- ing students settle down at 7 :45 for a bout with the books. Day boys, of course, watch a little television before they get down to work. Finally, bed, and the pros- pect of repeating the pattern the next day. So day Hows into day and week into week .... but not without the weekends. TTTHTTTTTTTTITTTTTTT T 'DTT T A NOTE FROM TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT' f THE EDITORS T il T 1TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT T T Day to clutch that diploma. Yes, a year for a Shady Sider consists of a lot of little things: the sleep-shattering buzzer too early in the morning for the boarderg the reluctant trek of boarders to breakfastg the buns-pancakes- doughnuts-French toast-cinnamon toast cycle of the school,s morning menus enabling a boarder almost to tell the day of the week by the food on the table. The unwelcome alarm clock or the none-too-gentle shake by Dad for the day boyg the morning ritual for both of listening to Rege Cordic and Omicrong the day boy,s hurried breakfastg the wait at the bus-stop and the long ride to school when homework, last night's television, next weekend's date, and bets on the bus' ability to take the hill without shift- ing are the chief subjects of conversation. The spill of day boys from the busses at 8:40, the noisy chatter before chapel silenced by Mr. Howard's violin and the piano attacking the hymn, running the gauntlet of attendance checkers, a prayer from the Book of Common Prayer, the drag of a study hall and the hum of classes- so runs a morning. The meat-substitute lunch with its multitude of announcements serving as a breather before an afternoon of classes, the short, rushed Glee Club rehearsals and the scramble to supplement des- sert at the Tuck Shopg the interminable drag of Sixth Periodg the enlightenment attendant to D.S.-these are quickly forgotten as the attention turns at 3:30 to athletics.
