BELL, BOOK, AND CANDLE Symbols of our high school careers. The annoying ring of an alarm clock begins a day ruled by the chime of bells. The whirr of a bell begins the hours of each school day. The old fashioned fire bell warns of a drill; telephone bells rule our social life; cow bells clang at fall football games; and tiny, tinkling bells on girl's petticoats signal the advent of the Christmas season. We exist in a world where bells are a controlling influence, whether we be at home or at school. Books are an integral part of high school life as are pop tests and mid-term exams. English books, History books, math books, speech books—the list grows and grows. Education seems to be a machine that feeds on the printed word. The very' phrase Bell, Book, and Candle is an expression found in the writings of Cardinal John Newman in senior English books. As though to prove that they are here to stay, books have found their way into all phases of teenage life. At school, clubs keep minutes. Pub staff steal notes, and Crusaders plan lay-outs and take photographs— all for books. At home, the high schooler would be sunk without a phone book and a date book. Without a thesaurus, many would be at a loss for words. Life revolves about books—books to read and to remember. 4

Woodrow Wilson by candlelight will hold some of the memories dearest to your heart.
