KNOWLEDGE AT HIGH SCHOOL The subject of school is quite a delicate thing to handle. I can ' t x erywell say I dislike it because I’d prob- ably end up on the out aide inste ad of inside --all in all the teachers are pretty good friends, TheT- work hard to teach me that Caesar was a great dramatist and Lhakespeare a great Conqueror, that all those wormy looking whirligigs in short- hand are supposed to represent words. Of course, I may be pretty slow, but I’m sure Mr, Allen has proven that Z - X will equal seven provided Z equals four and X three. Hr, V ing talks long and untiringly on the subjects of snakes and toads in biology, but to me they’re still very repulsive creatures regardless of how they are constructed. Oh, of course, I must not forget to tell you that bookkeeping is ever fascinating and so Qasjl If the balance sheet won’t balance, just throw the v hole thing aside and blame it on the book. The figures weren’t right anyway.’ Study periods are always a joy--provided Miss Spurr is overseer. Of course, you may get caught chewing gum or talking once in a while, but don’t let that bother you, it only moans a couple of weeks of detention. And then, just think of those handsome basketball and baseball heroes you had a chance to meet. Really now, wo don’t go to school just to have a nice looking fellow wink at us, but it helps a lot to make things more interesting. So all in all, high school is pretty good institution after all.
