A Somerset Day Begins With . . . An integral part of a Somerset day is the before school ses¬ sion. Along the walkways and corridors are the students, alone or in groups, hurrying and strolling, peopling the school in everv way. Busses are emptying, lockers are slamming and all over, the school is alive. Across the way the cafeteria is buzzing with students, some discussing a homework assign¬ ment or last night’s game, some seated for a few moments to review for an upcoming class, some eating a quick breakfast, and others just having a friendly bull session. Ne r the office, the students are mobbing the secretarial desk for absentees ' class admission slips, while others pause to read current posters and notices along the corridor bulletin boards. Then, as the 7:50 bell rings, the corridors are quickly emptied and all that remains is the sound of an occasional passing footstep. 2

■ A Somerset Day Consists of . . . When morning classes begin, the mood at Somerset takes on more scholastic overtimes. In 415, students watch intently as their Biology teacher traces on the blackboard a detailed structure of an animal cell. In the language lab, a recording of a native Parisian, rapidly reciting the dialog of Unit 10 is being played. The women’s liberation movement is the topic of an animated discussion in the Social Studies area. Finally, as our little tour comes to a close, a small group of art stu¬ dents are undertaking a new ' challenge of still life. This swift journey has caught all that goes on. One might well point to classes in Chemistry, Physical Education, and Math, or even to the offices of the guidance counselors, where individual conferences are going on. ■ ' ■ 4
