When the Bell Rings . . . We're Off! Whether it be the class dismissal bell, lunch bell, or final dismissal bell, it means only one thing to many of us - a chance to relax with our friends for a few minutes. For the teachers, there seems to he no stopping the rush for the door as the bell rings. Once in the halls, we begin the mad race against time to do all those little things like going to our lockers, getting assignments, or just talking with someone be- fore the next class. The pace quickens remarkably when the first lunch bell rings at 11:4-8. It seems that some of our school track records are broken as we hurry to get a lunch, eat, and maybe take in a movie at the little theater. Beyond a doubt, the bell which is most welcomed is the one at 3:40. Within a matter of minutes, the once bustling building looks like a ghost town.

. . .So Does the Homework Besides leaves other things also pile up in the autumn-other things like home- work. After a summer's vacation school begins, and the grind starts all over again for another nine and one-half months. For the first few weeks we find it hard to get back into the swing of things. Then the fall sports start which take up many stu- dent's after school hours. Also we begin to notice larger and more timely homework assignments. We really find we're in the swing of things when there just doesn't seem to be enough time to do everything. Studying can take up a lot of our after school hours. One way to lengthen those precious hours is to make the most of our opportunities to study during school. Fortunately most ot' us do have study halls in which we can do some of our assignments. Here Bryan Car- penter does a little research during his study hall in the hopes of finishing his work, so he will have more time for other activities.

Sometimes after hurrying down to the cafeteria, it's a little harder to keep up the fast pace of things, as .lim Wilson discovers. Looking over the selection, ,lim seems to be having some trouble in deciding what he wants for dessert. While Jim is still pondering, Miss Brezette seems to have found something to her liking. Between classes we get a chance to find out what every- one else has been doing during the past fifty-five minutes. Often the halls become so congested with small gatherings it is practically impossible for anyone to get through. How ever, we can't socialize too long, for six minutes goes quickly when we're with friends. When schoo1's out, at least for the day, we rush to our lockers, fumble with our locks, get our coats, and are off to catch the bus that won't wait. As we walk to the bus, many of us plan our evenings, welcoming the chance to get home again. However, sometimes our evening at home is so hectic that we are glad to be back at school the next morning.
