The parking lot was a placid place until the final bell, at 3:35 our own rush hour began, Kuhlman's Model A Ford forked out, the paddy wagons and other buses loaded and started on their way, and parents picked up their weary wonders from another hard day at school. 5 yssy 5

Other subiects offered equal challenge. When, on occasion, we were blessed with student teachers, we struggled, laughed, compared and gave them a challenging experience. But courses went on per schedule. Religion classes widened our scope and challenged tradi- tional views. English brought short stories, Myths, Moby Dick and Shakespeare, Physical Ed- ucation taught sportsmanship, game rules and athletic skills. History lectured on the past while Soc gave us guidelines for the future. Math meant for- mulas and figures . .. from 8:15 a.m. to 3:35 p.m. we questioned and learned and while some things became clear and others blurred, we continued to think. WE SEE CHALLENGE lt was torturous to leave the cafeteria and walk down to Chemistry. Boyle's Law, Angstrom units and the shell theory brought us back to the re- alization that school is still a place for learning. We were challenged by the elements around us, but we attempted to understand and to reason why. We learned that the earth is even more complicated than we had imagined, and this knowledge brought a feeling of wonderment and minuteness. 514 i 4

Outside activities made school extra- busy. Maybe classes ended at 3:35, but club meetings, play rehearsals and sports practices iust began then. Our parti- cipation in worthwhile activities gave us a feeling of being an integral part of Walther Lutheran High. Refreshments were always available at the little store or Cock Robin. As more responsibilities were given us, hours after school often became as long or longer than school hours. But we did not mind for we knew that by tul- filling the task assigned us, we were making our school lust a little bit better. Weekends were times for relaxation, sup- posedly. Usually, they were a hubbub of football games, pep rallies, basket- ball games, parties, concerts, movies and pure fun. When no special activities were scheduled, there was always Downtown and Old Town, and the Oakbrook and the Hillside Show, the Art Institute and C.B. and a hundred other exciting places to visit. We learned to look forward to Fri- day night and dread Monday morning when school would begin again.
