socurrv CALENDAR Open House-sponsored by assistant principal any day of the week. Tea-served personally by our Dean to all students too careless to check out. Dance-to Boogie Woogie directed by gym teachers during the first half-hour of each period. Coffee-served during football season to stimulate hopeful bench warmers. SLOGANS-SAN JACKETED 86'X, cooler -in the presence of your best girl's dad. National Joy Smokes -the fumes of E. A. Snapp's ill-smelling runabout. Milder and better tasting -the ham sandwiches, when one is suffering from utter starvation. You can't help inhaling -but you could snitch just one more of dad's ciga- rettes. Good to the last droop -any Latin student. Keep 'em flying -shirt tails. See your dentist twice a year -and your remedial teacher twice a week. No moving parts -this upper-story. . INSIDE STORY Mary had a little watch, She swallowed it, it's gone. Now, everywhere that Mary walks, Time marches on. A LETTER TO THE SCHOOL BOARD Our pearents shore could help us seniors out on the thorny rode to a education. Dad won't never work my trigg for me-he don't know a cosine from a cowcacher. And, though he goes down to the Club and plays Pool til midnight, he gives me hale Columbia because l don't stay to home evry minit, and because l don't make more than two Dee's and three eff's on my re- port cord. If all seniors have as hard a time as l do, its time for yooth to revolt. I blame pearents for half the ignorunce of the whole family. You take my mom. For her to be a 20 per cent modern and proogressive mother, she ought to stop talking so much an the fone, and let Sis have a chance to talk a little to her boy friend who's going off to war. Sis makes turrible grades, becaus she's thinking of that soldier all the time and caint study at all. If Mom would just relax a little, Sis would know all about the Dread Scot case and who sunk the Merrymack. lf this is a democrasy, as Dad's always hollerin' that it is, let's see him burning the midnight oil every night to kach up with the home- work the boss has assigned him. l'll bet Dad 'ud rather be fired than do much homework. l say let's have report cards for all the faimly. Let's crack down on Dad and Mom! .

Always shove the person in front of you in line. lt will help work up his appetite. 2. Always slip up to the head of the line. Those who have been there fifteen minutes will welcome your presence. 3. Carefully discard old apple cores in the corners. A collection is being made to feed any stray dogs which might wander into the school building. 4. Every day or so, trip a friend carrying a tray. When it drops with a bang, every one will get a laugh. 5. Before eating your banana, carefully place the peeling in the aisle to help one of the hurried pedestrians reach his desti- nation a bit sooner than expected. 6. A good rule is, never to leave the table before combing your hair. Remember! Appearance means everything today. 7. But, of all things, never forget to leave your tray on the table. IN THE DAYS OF PRIORITIES Wool: What's pulled over your eyes from now on will be 80 per cent cotton. Sugar: That sweet line handed out each night under the moonlight, will soon be rationed. Cons: For which Mr. Henderson can always substitute can'ts. Rubber: That stuff used for checks, that there won't be very many of anyway. Cosmetics: That sugar and spice and everything nice 'll soon be just a colorless hog, but absolutely a bag. Gasoline: The absence of which will liquidate many an excuse of being out of the same. Dyes: Without which Clem, the green jerk from the country, will be on the same footing with any blueblood.
