classroom time fled Students studied diligently to keep up their grodes and to bring honor to themselves, their closs, ond their school. With only fifty-five minutes allotted for each class period, students had no time to spare These minutes were filled to capacity with such varied subjects as English, French, psychology, olgebro, sewing, woodshop, and safety. Classroom time was well put to use, for students hod to work quickly and quietly to accomplish all that had to be done in each short period. Each hour usually began os the teacher called roll. With the progression of each per- iod, students found themselves growing in knowledge and understanding They found that the teacher was there to help them un- derstand something they had never under- stood before Learning and discovering new ideas and facts, handing in homework, taking exams, performing new experiments, having class discussions, ond occosionolly watching a movie or slides were important parts of closs minutes throughout the year.

students’ leisure time The yells of o cheering crowd ringing from gym during the few remaining seconds of a gome, the quiet shuffling of dancing feet, the hum of in- terested voices at a club meeting were the sounds that many times filled the Tolleston campus when classes weren't in session. These and mony other extra-curricular activities occupied the leisure mo- ments and played on important port in the life of every student. The mony school-sponsored social and athletic functions were essential to the de- velopment of well-rounded personalities. Tolleston High School provided the time, ploce, and opportunity for the moments which moke four high school years so memoroble. Hours of plan- ning on the part of the administration, faculty, and students—all working together—mode those moments possible. Participation, either as a spectator or in di- rect competition, provided rewarding experiences, which become part of the events that left Tolles- ton students with NO TIME TO WASTE.
