A Typical Day in Grade XI-A Oh, you adorable pal! Say. do you have your physics problems done? Can I j-u-s-t see them? This is the usual greeting given each other by the students of XIA, at ten minutes before nine. As many activities have prevented us from doing homework last night, we hastily scrawl several things into or notebooks, until the bell hails us to the auditorium. After we have heard all the announcements regarding curl¬ ing, detentions, and forthcoming events, we hustle to our classroom, which has that spe¬ cial, spicy flavour which makes it complete¬ ly our own. History looks us in the eye! And now for a review of yesterday’s lecture and conglomeration of facts concerning the Confederation of Canada and the B.N.A. Act. Regardless of the arrangement of the question, our only response is a blank, silent stare. To our great relief, Helen will finally give her opinion on the subject and save us from deterioration in the mind of the tea¬ cher. Several digressions later, the buzzer sweeps in our “deutscher Professor”, whose cheerful “Guten Morgen” is replied to by muffled grunts and sliding drawers. But after conjugating “ich habe” thirty-four times in six different tenses, we congratulate him on drilling us until we are able to pass our German exam. We now take a five-minute break in which we quicken our memories with cool water, air, and the latest gossip. Page 26 This scene soon changes and a pungent odour due to the tribulations and final tri¬ umphs of several XIA chemists fills the room. After numerous formulas and equa¬ tions, the bell rings and our minds are left in a horrible state of confusion. Our pre-lunch appetizer is literature and we are soon enthralled by the murder which Macbeth commits after Lady Macbeth, in beautiful metaphors and similes, has con¬ vinced him to do so. (By the way, XIA loves to argue the resolution stating that women are mentally and emotionally stronger than men). After dramatizing Shakespeare’s Mac¬ beth for some time, we all agree that Shake¬ speare “was quite a character”. Because we are a united class, we usually agree on everything including the rush to the door at noon. However this unity is disrupted when the girls object to having windows open in sub-zero weather. During noon hour, our many athletes play basketball, the industrious study, the singers leave for operetta practice and the hungry eat. Once afternoon classes begin we increase our knowledge of machines, electricity, and magnetism in a double-peri¬ od of physics. The minds of many girls resemble the orbits which the electrons fol¬ low. Walter or “lard” will argue on behalf of the class if opposition seems necessary. Following our “relief minutes” we hunt for protractors, squares and compasses as we prepare to prove that a tangent to a
