High temperature expansion of the partition function for a particle on a segment of a line is found to show an example of the quantum system that thermodynamical functions do not approach the thermodynamical functions of its classical counterpart at high temperature. The problem might be interesting for the students and teachers because by a collection of noninteracting particles trapped in a box at sufficiently high temperature and low density one imitates the classical ideal gas.
