ton proved, reports must be listened
to now as we'll as at any time. What
a serious experience for the Prob
lens class in particular. There
seems to be a special desire on the
part of some students not only to be
%inattentive themselves but also to
cause others to be so. A good ex-
ample Of this was at the last meet
ing of the Music Club. Some members
who were more interested in their
personal pleasure disturbed the or
der of the meeting so that the ms
tructor in charge, much against his
will, had to dismiss them. What a
disgrace for high school people who
should have arrived at the age of dis
erection in such matters.
School is no place for these so
called "Smarties" who find time too
much for them and thus use their
wits to play pranks and jokes which
are not clever. More good sleep and
exercise would be the thing for
people whose minds are too tired to
study or keep awake in class. With
mild sarcasm may l add that it is
uplifting to be in a class where eve
ry one is half asleep, evidenced by
dim eyes, dropping eyelids, and in
general a frowning face. What can
a teacher do in a class where pupils
seem inclined to have their much
needed rest.
There are only six weeks left of
this school year and it brings to
mind that many of US have been loaf
ing and will not clasp the long
hoped-for diploma which shall serve
as a passport to some bigger life.
We have at least one more chance
and we must get behind the problem
not letting worry over it occupy
our time, but actual digging and stu
dying. This applies not only to Sc
niors. There is much perfectly good
ability in this high school going to
| waste for lack Of ambition and OF
course this indolent attitude can dc
no good. Marks as a guidepost will
usually tell who is attentive and
who is not.
