Boredom bug bites the unsuspecting B-O-Ft-E-D-O-M . . . B is for all the boring books we studied hour upon hour every night. We learned all our les- sons but still we worried if what we had learned was what we had been assigned. 0 is for the form our mouths took often, as we yawned through the lectures of Mr. David Kelm. We wondered when in heaven's name he would finish, then wondered when he would start again. R is for all the reading that was assigned to us. From Dickens to Chaucer and on to Shake- speare, if only Romeo and Juliet knew they had it so good. . E is for all the exams that were forever threat- ening, that hung all our hopes of an A on the line. Cramming seemed to be the most popular answer, but it sometimes strained our poor, weak minds. D stands for all the do's and don'ts the administration gave us, with the don't's out- weighing the do's 2 to 1. Hats off and no kissing in the hallways, spring fever seemed to last all year long. 0 is for the offices to which our teachers sent us, for writing notes and sleeping during class, putting our tender derrieres in jeopardy. One would think we would learn the secret of how to pretend to pay attention in class. M stands for the moments of sleep in history, snoozing during the films of World War l. Battle fatigue is common in the army, but not as com- mon as the school fatigue on Friday afternoon at 3:19. Put them all together and they spell BORE- DOM, a disease which touches each and every one. Teachers as well as students are affected . . . if only we could have a little fun!
