WHAT THE SENIORS THINK ABOUT IT How much homework should seniors do? M. E.—Half of school work should be done at home. A. P.—15 minutes. H. S.—Much homework should not be given seniors. D. C.—As much as they need for pood marks. C. L.—30 minutes for each subject. C. F.—Enough to keep them busy and out of mischief. N. H.—Enough to prepare next day’s assignment. B. D.—30 minutes per subject. J. H.—2 to 3 hours. H. R.—None. K. P.—Enough time to provide alibi for incomplete work. A. F.—10 to 15 minutes per subject. W. C.—Enough to help in daily recitation. At what hour should seniors retire? J. A.—10 to 11 on night previous. L. M.—8 to 8:30. H. J.—10:00 to 10:30, depends on occasion. L. D.—It all depends. M. L.—Depends upon the parent. T. T.—11:00, not later. E. A.—11:30. J. W.—School nights, 11. Other nights, anytime. L. M.—Depends upon the amount of rest you require. K. P.—When they feel in the need of sleep. W. C.—Between 11:00 p. m. and 3:00 a. m. At what age should one marry? J. A.—I don’t believe in marriage. A. P.—Life begins at 40. M. L.—18 to 25. J. O.—25. J. D.—20 to 60, later if you are rich. P. B.—When you are in love with some one. L. D.—When someone asks you. H. J.—24-26, or when you get the chance. H. S.—No. C. L.—Just the age when you can persuade the girl to marry you. C. F.—At 28 and later. J. B.—Depends upon the individual. M. C.—Not younger than 21. H. R.—As soon as you meet the right one. J. H.—At least 21. First have good job and money saved. K. P.—When you’re old enough to know better. A. E.—Never. How many members should the Supreme Court have? M. W.—One (but not too much power). J. A.—The Supreme Court should be done away with. H. R.—Odd number so there will be no deadlock. N. H.—Makes little difference, just so we keep our Supreme Court and it stands for what it has in the past. A. F.—Nine—no meddling with our courts. Should a person be 18 before he starts driving? H. M.—Sixteen is old enough and in some cases necessary. A. D.—Yes. I think it would prevent many careless accidents. L. M.—Yes. Also a driving course should be taught in the schools. E. F.—Yes. People can think faster at 18. B. D.—No. It deprives us of the chance of “getting ahead”. R. H.—Yes. Younger people are too eager to drive, and go too fast; older people are more careful. M. L. C.—No, for we can’t learn to drive until we are too old to enjoy it. J. B.—Sixteen is a good limit. Is judicious use of make-up unwise? C. F.—Yes, beneath the make up people are not always so silly as they appear. T. D.—It's all right to use it if you don’t use too much. A. D.—Make up used properly will improve one’s looks very much. W. C.—On some women it’s O. K. C. B.—No, because it’s not necessary. A. F.—Sure, think of all the ugly faces that would scare little children if it weren’t for make-up. H. M.—Make-up doesn’t take anything from one’s character, but it should be used wisely. J. D.—If it makes them look any nicer, by all means use it. H. J.—It’s all a matter of opinion. How many children should a family have? T. T.—Not over a dozen; one is plenty. C. B.—3. S. M.—4. J. H.—The number you can support easily. B. M.—4. A. H.—2 and not any more. One boy and one girl. M. C.—Not over 10. M. L. C.—Just as many as they can get along with. H. S.—3. L. D.—Depends on the financial condition of the family. L. M.—Most families should have from at least 6 to 8 children for maximum intelligence. Some families can have 12 or more. Page twenty
