XX X i ' ff FSQCIDEA bf' 4 A sense of humor is an attribute of good character. Nothing can make a teacher solider with his pupils than to display a set of white molars in a genuine, honest to good- nenss grin the first day of school. The students will strive to understand him from that day on, because they will have found that he's a regular fellow. Once someone wrote eleven commandments for teachers. Qne of the eleven was written in capital letters: O O O To keep with the cultural growth of Roches- ter-its 'art galleries, public schools and con- cert music-the LeRoy Collins Management is introducing to Rochester a Series of Five Professional attractions for Project young people. The prices are arranged on a broad scale so that every young person in the city may feel that these performances are within his reach. They will be given at the Regent Theatre on Satur- day mornings. I 0 O 0 A New Co-operation-how often we preach that word and how often do we cast away oppor- tunities to practice it! Too often do we thoughtlessly fail to do our Co-operation bit and cause much unneces- sary trouble for one person. For instance-if. in the lunch room, we should all co-operate with the teacher in charge by clearing up our dishes, taking back our milk bottles, and placing our waste papers in the proper containers, we would have a neater lunch room. Also, consider this-with which teacher do we stand the better chance of receiving a good mark? The teacher who has been compelled to clear up' our dishes, take our milk bottles back. and pick up our papers, and eat his own meal in great haste, or one with whom' the lunch period duty has easily taken its course? The second teacher could be ideal, but the first -consider and co-operate. ' I O O O If it wasnt for the support of our adver- tisers. the Orridmzf could not be published. Your every dime is barely sufficient for half the cost of publication each time. Please 'So it is no more than fair that you try your very best to patronize the Orcidem? advertisers. EEEEL Nine
