PESSIMIST Now that '.ie arc ready to say good-bye to Saxton-Liberty High Schoo}. we have a few complaints to make. We don’t want to grumble but, if you had to put up with what we did, I am sure you would say plenty. How would you like to go from one room to the other for class? All the teachers do is stand in the rooms, with a big scowl on their faces, while wo poor students run our legs off going from room to room for class. To top io olf, the rooms are either like a take over o- a refrigerator. Is it any wonder we have colds? 7hy can’t something be done to regulate the temperature? Our dear friend. Hr. Joseph W. Howe, made school-life more miserable than it was before. Now school takes up at 8:30 instead of 3:45 as it used to. Last fall I was a nervous wreck. Every time we went to P. 0. D. class Kr. Danny Graham would start killing poor, helpless, liwtle flies with a ruler. Everytime he came down on his desk with a bang, all the students jumped. Why doesn’t he pick on somebody his size. How would you like to go to class and hear the teacher say, See here1, from the beginning to the end of class? That’s Miss Sara Jane Dick, just in case you didn't know. She says, See here; Sec here I See here'. See here'. the whole period till you are bored to death. It isn't very oloasant to go into your home room and find your desk crammed full of paper. Don't the underclassmen have even a little bit of respect for us Seniors? Why bother to have school every day? Couldn't we go to school just two or three days out of a week? Why does Mr. Howe have to spoil our assembly programs? Just when we are having the time of our lives, he had to spoil it all by a long list of announcements. If announcements are so important, why not take a day off now and then just, for announcements? When you are absent from school a day you have to do a week's work in order to catch up with the rest of the class. Why have all this make-up work? Can we help it if we are sick and have to miss school? I wonder if all Business Law students have as big assignments as we do. It certainly was going some when our class had to go on a strike to get smaller assignments. That was all right, but Miss Dick slowly crawled up the latter to large assignments again. We surely had to work for half a credit. 24

Miss Long has a pretty hot Scotch-Irish temper. If you don't believe ine you ought to be around when we come back from assembly. She always gives us a good lecture then. Yes, it's free and you can take it for what it's worth. J . . A person can't have secrets. Everything you do Mr. Guy E. Timmons find out and puts it in the Chips under the name of Key-Hole Katie or something like that. Wouldn't it be wonderful to do something just once that the whole school wouldn't know about it? What this high school needs is a study hall. The Teachers continually scold us for loafing. Now may I ask, How can you concentrate in a room where a teacher is having class? Miss Long says we need a library.. For once she is right You never can read the book you want to. How can you read a book if you can't get hold of it? As I don't want to bore you to death with my troubles, I suppose I had better not say anymore, still I could tell you plenty if only time and space would permit it. Barbara Weaver Helen Hughes P.S.
