IN THE HALLS
Toward the end of every period,
many of us are on our tocs, restless,
and waiting for the familiar sound of
the buzrer, ‘hen we hear it, we rush to
the door, dash ovt into the halls, and
run to ovr next class, spocding by all
obstacles, munan or othorwise,
What's tho hurry? Why run and push
and shove? After all, we have five
whole minutes between cach period, which
gives us plonty of time to get a drink
of water, walk to our next class, and
chat for 2 while with a friend,

AT THE DANCE
At our Skirt and Sweater dance, too
many people went around ripping tho
trimmings. ‘het sense is thore to that?
They were only ruining thoir fun and
ours. Tho appoarance would heve been
much better if thoy had left tho tr
ming up. At tho ond of the dance, there
is no harm rioping the trimming, but’ why
not wait until thon?

CRIMSON AND VHITH Is ORITICIZED |_|
The Crimson and White roportors,
intorosted in imoroving this papor, in-
torvicwod factlty mombers and studonts
end received the following criticisms:
Dr. Sayles thinks the Crimson and
is the best high school paper ovor
s says that tho papor is
fino, suggosts that jokes should
be more hniorous.
Mr, Tnylor wants tho paper made
moro easy to rend, Thore should bo a
trainod staff of reporters on Studont
Council mootings. Moro reports on ass~
omblios, mora school nows, and jokos a=
bout people in school, would mako a much
more intorosting pnpor.
John Morrison, '43, and Goraldine
Paul, '42, would like moro illustrations.
Angola Snare, '44, likes it because
it has personal items.
Arthur Forguson, '44, says Junior
High should hnve more than two pages of
news. lois Katusky, '42, roquests moro
pages and more humor, Rita, Figarsky,'42,
says, More caroful stapling |!
IM THE HOMBROOMS
ginning of the year wo ol-
ected our Stwiont Council representa-
tives from the homerooms, These student
council are supposed to repre-
sont us meetings, the purpose of
which is solf-government. Why is it
that some homerooms never hear wha is
happening at tho moctings? They never
think about things on which the ropro-
sontatives vote until they havo voted,
What tho reprosentativos should do is
tell the homcrooms about those thir
and by secing homeroom reaction mow how
, rathor than give their own pops
sonal opinions whon they vote. ‘Wouldn't
this be a way to improve our school?

She said thoy weren't worth a dime.
Mother says, "With mud on thom thoy look
