Haven't you ever worried about passing a test or getting a poor report card? I have, and I know that ZUSFG are many others like me. However, can you truthfully say that fretting and stewing helped you to get a good mark? Of course you canit So come on,students!

Rise on Time I wonder why it is that so many students are tardy every day. Is it because they have no alarm clocks or is i because they aren't called early enoufh? I know that most of my tardinesses are caused by my failure to arise in time to dress, eat, and get to school on time. If I had not staved in bed a bit longer, thinking that I could still make it, I should not have been late. Probably many other students marl time in the same way and pile up unnecessary cases of tardi ness. Now, one could have an arrangement for rising whereby the bedclothes would be rolled up on a device like a curtain rod with a dial on it that one would set at, say, a modest seven o'clock. At that time, a catch would be released and the device would yank the covers off the bed, leaving one shivering in the cold, only too willing to get up Or, if that plan didn't work, one could have a special sufficient force to hurl the occupant over the foot of his bed into an automatic cold shower U My recommendation, however, is to get into the habit of rising when one wakes up, making MI woke up at sevenn identi cal with I got up at seven u C.

Duri began to 4 Wayland Junior Town House ng the spring of l943, a group of citizens in Wayland feel the need of a center for community youth activ- ities. They thought that a community house, where adults and children aculd meet for social events, would satisfy their needs. The original group talkt' with friends who accepted the idea with enthusiasm. Together these people drew up a portfolio which clearly explained their plans for a Junior Town Houses zens in t to voluht This portfolio was than presented to many citi- own, who welcomed the project and were very willing ser their services. The financial end did not present too great a problem, as people will usually donate money generously for a worthy cause. These donors were enlisted as members. One may be- come a life member by contributing one hundred dollars, a charter member by giving twenty-five dollars, and a yearly supporting member by paying two dollars. The finally d old farm greatest other bui thclbarn and movie fully use group then inspected four or five houses in town and ecided upon the Parmenter House on Pew Road. This seemed to have the most suitable atmosphere and the possibilities for future development. There are two ldings on the property besides the dwelling house: which may be remodeled for dancing, presenting plays s, and the workshop which has already been success- do ' The Wayland Junior Town House has been organized and in- corporate d under the laws of Massachusetts.
