Brook Park School Notes
The JOY of Being Reporter and
News. Editor.

Getting out these school notes is no
picnic. If we print jokes people say
we are silly: if we don't, they say we
are too serious. If we quote things
from other papers, we are too lazy to
write them ourselves. If we stick too
close to the job, we ought to spend
more time on our lessons.
If we get out and try to hustle news
we are too inquisitive. If we fail to
mention someone's absence, we have
it in for them. If we mention each
absence. the paper is filled with junk.
If we send in good copies, someone
thinks we copied them; if we write
poor ones. we are too original.
If we had no school notes at all,
this would be a pretty bum school.
And pshaw. wouldn't it be just like
some reader TO say we Swiped this
from some other paper? All right,
then we did.
