Love is supposed to melt the OPP
ponents hatred, and sometimes
it does so But when it does not,
the hate which it arouses seems
TO be Of a peculiar ferocity.
That is probably because there
seems to be so little that hatred
can do against love. 1t can not
batter it down. ii cannot cause it
TO retaliate, it feels complete
sense of frusraitOn. And so it just
eats its heart out with violence
That was what happened when
they crcufied Jesus. They had a
feeling that nothing they could
do would prevail and it added a
peculiar violence to their hatred.

Administrative Voice

Each marking period we have a
number of students who have
either failed or received a low
grade in one or more of their
school subjects. We have to adj
nit that there are a few pupils in
our schools whose intellect is at
such a low level that it is prac-
tieally impossible for them to do
passing work. This would account
for a minority Of those failures or
low grades.
1t is necessary that we account
Tor those individuals who, we feel,
are capable in intellect but do not
receive satisfactory grades. It has
been proven to us by individuals
we have tested and found to be
below average mentally, that those
individuals were able to succeed
and maintain a B average in all
academic subjects by sufficient de-
termination and willingness to ap-
ply themselves. This being the
case, it is inexcusable for an aver
age student, or a slightly below
average student. not to pass all
academic subjects.
In a work situation an adult
must prove satisfactory and devel-
op good work habits, or be dis
missed from employment. The
same must apply to school work.
Our students must apply them
selves if they are to succeed. 1t
is not our policy to lower our aca-
demic standards simply to create
a generation of individuals who
believe they may receive some
thing for nothing.

Cubbage was DOver's high scor-

MS teammates came up with most
of the other scoring honors. BOYER
