' • • Pardon me, but I’ve just got to tell you about so: e.of my oat peevesi They ' ve been building up all year and I have to tell somebody about them! ✓ , • . f • . i f It ' s a bonder I ' m still alive after all those peaches and oeef they gave us this year in the cafeteria ' . Speaking of the cafeteria, why don ' t they keen it ooen so ' ‘ r e can get a sandwich between classes. We could do more work if we weren ' t half starved. Why, don ' t they start a driving course for students which has special emphasis on ho ,?r to park? By the way, some of the women teachers should be required to enroll. Mr, Fuchs, maybe we ' d come to gym classes once in a while if you ' d turn on some heat in the gym. Mr. Cotterman, why won ' t you let us have another skip day ? After all we got three cer cent taken off our grades for the last one. No wonder we never have our work done! We don ' t have any pencil sharpeners. Anybody knows that if vr e don ' t have pen¬ cil sharpeners we can ' t sharpen our pencils, and if we cant sharpen our pencils vr e can ' t do our work, - . Mrs. Zucker were all those current events teste really necessary? No wonder we couldn ' t stay awake in Problems Class; ' we had to stay up ajl night memorizing the book in order to pass your tests. : , , ' ' Why don ' t we have longer noon hours? We never have time to do anything but eat and y:o right bock to class. After all there are a lot of other things that w e could doll Mrs, Zucker, what happened to all the magizines in study hall? No wonder we ' re always flying airplanes, playing with squirt guns, or shooting paper wads, vr e have to do something to keep from going to sleep. Boy, those seventh gr dr s are the most impolite bunch of kids I ' ve ever seen, they knock you down, then tell you to get out of t leir way, I sure wish someone would tell them and Mrs. Zucker whioh stairs to use! Mrs. Fox, I don’t see why you get so mad at the boys in study hall. They never do anything that they shouldn ' t. And why won ' t you let us talk to each other? We ' ve had to work out a sign language to get messages 6o each other. Mr, Hanson, do you just have tc make 4 ho?c chemistry tests so long -nd difficult?
