St Ignatius High School - Ignatian Yearbook (Cleveland, OH)

Page 25 text:

The hallways on weekends reflect what many people have running through their minds as the year progresses. Absolutely Nothing. Mrs. Chris Holden shows that monotony not only affects the students but also the faculty. A familiar and rather boring sight in the school is a student deeply engrossed in his studies on the main stairs. Monotony 21

Monotony Wake up at 7:00. ride al 7:30. get to school by 8:05, class at 8:15. try to stay awake until 9:00. 9:00 to 9:10 sleep. That's how it is for a lot of Ignatius students, one day just like the next. The only change of pace coming for those of lucky to be in lab or seeing a movie today. The little excitement we try to put into our day is usually killed immediately by the ever vigilant figure hovering in the room, gold ruler poised ready to strike, the teacher. So the day drags on. Then after an indeterminable number of days, you realize it's semester test time. Even though it means, at least three days, a change of routine, most students dread this time. For Seniors and Juniors it means an end of some classes. Sophomores get to change theology classes but Freshmen, well . . . Freshmen are stuck. I suppose it makes it easier for the administration. but it only serves to heighten the monotony. Some teachers see this and try to make their classes interesting but eventually they run out of novelties and .again this helps to promote the boredom. It is now 1:55 and time for the afternoon announcements, more sacktime. trying to hold on until 2:10 and freedom. 20 Monotony
