Starting In & New Semester
Let's see if we can all start
in a new semester right. Every
rear at this time we always say
that we are going to start the new
semester by doing our work as well
8 we possibly can, but as the months
so on, we find that we are slacking
yp a great deal on our work. Let
4s try to keep our work up to a
high standard through the whole
semester. Right after exams we
buckle down to work again in order
to really know our work when the
next exams come.
Courtesy
Much has been said about the
courtesy of the Junior High Students.
Are the Junior High students courteous
Starting in a new semester we
should try to be especially court-
because we are having new
achers. Our new teachers will
eel a bit strange, and proper
urtesy and attention are things
hat we owe them. It never hurss
o be courteous. Junior High
tudents in the past have not been
s respectful to the teachers as
‘hey should have been. If every
student would try to be a little
iore courteous to his teachers, we
re sure that the teachers would aps
sreciate this and everyone would
-earn more in the classroom,

Question Box
Question: Are the Junior High
people courteous, and, if net,
how could they be improved?
Miss Wheeling: I think that the
are very thoughtless in the
cafteria but I do think they
are quite well mannered in the
halls.
Miss Meore: I think they could
walk in the hall more quietly,
and take their time while
standing in line in the caf-
teria and while eating.
Miss Keene: I think that they
are heedless of the noise they
make, but otherwise they are
quite courteous.
Mr. Fairbanks; I think they
are quite courteous but they
could be a little quieter.
This is how we were all
feeling last week. Aren't you
glad tests are over?
'Math and English and the rest!
That's all they seem to say.
'Do you know this?' and 'Do you
know that?!
Or 'Have you fooled your time
away? !
It all leads up to this fatala
day
~. whe finals come,
To preve in what class you will
stay,
Whether you're bright or dumb.
And then the marks you're glad
te hear
And sometimes sorry too,
Wishing again you had the chance
Some extra work to do.
Yeu go to class with courage ner,
Resolved to do your best
To prepare in every way you can
eo the next final test.
