PRESENT WORK - FUTURE GAIN
We hate to bring up an unpleasant
subject, but perhaps it's about time we
began to consider the fact that the fin-
alexans are near at hand. From early
April to early June isn't much time when
you stop to figure it out. In fact, it's
@ dangerously small space for most of us
to get caught up on work that we just
let slide from time to time.
A little systematic syudy each
night ( be,inning this evening) will
accomplis & great deal more than the
sketchy, last minute cramming that most
of us timally resort to. Remember, the
higher your marks are each June, the
better your recommendation for college
will bee So yor High School marks be-
come eno usly important to you in
later years, iGholarships are won only
by studencs who reqlly do their best.
It isn't only that the phase of pass-
ing of t..e exens counts, but the material
in your courses nust be well learned if
it is _oing to do you any ~ood in later
yearse Hvery subject that you taxe in
High School is going to prove valuable
to you in timée
confronts us agains It is not possible
to please everyone, so I guess there
will elweys be controversies. At the be-
ginning of the term our assembly pro=
grams were on Wednesday. This wes fine
for awhile» However, it seems that if
the girls went to assembly on Wednesday
they hed to miss G A.C. on Friday in
order to t&e Chemistry Leboretory. The
matter wes taken to the Student Councile
There it wes decided thet the essemblies
should be changed to Priday. This « llow-
ed the girls to g0 to G,A.C., but miss
the ussembly programse
However,tiis involves difficulties,
A few people were sctisfied snd many
others annoyed. It serms thet State
College «lso hes assembly directly be-
fore us. If they hcppen to run over
their scheduled time, thet makes our pro-
grem shorter. In fact, lest week it cut
our program in helfe
It is very discouraging to everyone,
especiclly the actors, They crn't get
the stage set in the few minutes they're
cllotted between the two progrrms, par=
ticulerly if the college hese pleye
Porheps it would help if we could run
over ¢ few minutes, but « college class
prevents that possibility. The most ser=
fous thing is that some people miss
their lunch every wock, due to this sche
udele. In conclusion, mny students have
remarked thet © homeroom period on Frie
diy 1s very hendy to get homework done
before the weckends
What do you sry? Just stete def-
initely what you went. The S,udent Coun-
cil ond the foculty have dene their best
to clear up the problem. Suggestions
will be gretefully received.
WHAT ALOUL Whi CC. i LKENCE ROOM?
ow yeers Midne pupils
and their teachers have been Aeving con=
ferences to help th in thetr work. The
plece of mecting has generally been the
cuditorium or the hell benches. Because
the benches soon become filled,the cud=
itorium has becn used more. Now thet the
new rule states thet no conf€rences are
to be held in the cuditoruim it is very
difficult to find oa plece for one. How-
ever,there is ¢ roomoff the library
which is cclled the Conference Room. It
wis originally used for conferences, but
recently this Hns boen forbidden.
For the pest f
dents of Milne use
this room? While ners <nd pupils
wi nder around trying to find room to
heve conferences, tlc Conference Room
