How to Study As you enter the Main Room, it is essential that you visit everyone you possibly can in the short time allowed. You must talk as loudly as you are able so as to add your bit to the din. Then after a few minutes of this, the teacher will ring the bell. As this is only a preliminary signal and of course concerns everyone but you, do not even hesitate in your conversa- tion. After a few minutes more the teacher will probably ring the bell again, direct a few mean looks in your direction, or might even go as far as to speak to you. This is your signal. You should then slowly move to the direction of your seat. After you have reached your desk, look at the teacher to see if she is watching you. If so, lift up the top of your desk and behind its friendly pro- tection wink at your friends. Then take out a book fany one will doj and open it. If you do not know the as- signment, go to the teacher and get permission to speak to a classmate. Don't hurry at all, it's bad for the nerves, but just take your time - Rome wasn't built in a day. You may talk about anything that you want to, laugh quite loudly, do any- thing that you care to until you hear the bell. It probably means you so it is best to take your seat. Gaze intently at the book for a few minutes. When this gets tiresome you should do something else fnever strain your mindj. You can scrape your shoes on the fioor and produce fearful groans, you can cough, blow your nose very loudly, or if you are a lower-classman just watch a Senior: he'll give you some clever ideas of how to pass away the period. An ingenious stu- dent will never be at a loss for some- thing to do. Finally, when the first bell rings, you should look at the assignment. If you look hard enough, you may get the high spots. When the clock says that there is only a minute left for the second bell to ring, pick up your books and brace yourself for a quick start. The object of this is to be the first one down the aisle. If possible, on the way to class, it is a good plan to get an idea of what the lesson is about from someone else. Then after three or four periods of this and the same spent in those class rooms. go home and say to yourself What a day I have put in! DOPEY I first met Dopey as he was escap- ing from our new fifty thousand dollar Booby-Hatch. As I was the guard who returned him, it was not unnatural that an instinctive dislike sprang up between us. I hated Dopey from the first time I saw him. He was so conceited. Of course I should make allowances because he was not in full possession of his fac- ulties. He claimed he was a hero be- cause eighteen years ago his Uncle Dudley went up in one of the first air- planes. He claims to be of a very il- lustrious family. One of his ancestors was a stowaway on the Mayflower. He has a conglomeration of uncles and cousins who work in drug stores and like places. He never tires of boasting about these. Perhaps this is because he never works himself. He thinks he is quite an athlete. When he shoots baskets the crowd goes into hysterics. And the last time he goosewalked three people had to be carried out. He labors under the delusion that he can play the cornet. He formerly played eighth cornet in the Squeedunk City Band. He plays two notes and then rests for sixteen measures. There is only one thing he can do well. That is being the most ignorant person in our fair country. U51
