Gee whiz! Another school day! So we trudge our weary way to school, one eye half shut, the other completely closed. In early fall, when the leaves were falling we liked to walk to school; and in late winter after a heavy snowfall we enjoyed the pleasant sound of snow under our feet and ah, spring brought the most enjoyment of all (even if we were half asleep). We al- ways met someone to accompany us and talk over the prospective day. We dashed to ers, threw in our coats, grabbed the essential material for a few periods and rushed to hq for we knew tardiness meant the 3:16 club for us. A rush here and there until fin ere settled in typing for a period. The day progressed rapidly and before we knew led a highly argued debate question, learned about the birds and bees from Miss JNh ‘un ourselves ragged in commando classes trying to master those push-ups. even had time for a chat at the main desk with several of our pals.

After school it was to Gobs for a coke for most of us, but you could find many of the freshies in 303 talking over their trials and tribulations with Miss Petersen and a few sophies hitting thei books in the study hall. For the juniors it was a greeting and a moment of gossip, then on their way, but the dignified (?) seniors were usually perched on the stairs discussing various hap- penings and talking about his or her boy or girl friend or asking that eternal question of some member of the staff, Are the senior pictures in yet? (Oh, for a shotgun on those days). Thus it went like this, day after day, throughout our forty week of school. We seniors had one sad day, however, when on March 2 eight of our boys left to serve with the armed forces. There were tears in our eyes as we said good-bye to them early that morning down at the sta- tion because we knew that we would not see them for a long time and they would miss the good times y e fyad planned before graduation. Nevertheless, we are proud of them!
