MY IDEA OF A GOOD TEACHER A good teacher should excuse children for lateness and not send absentee cards home to parents of absent children, because the chil- dren might be on the hook. Then she should excuse our reports and give individual compliments to every child every period. She should pass the children in their subjects and never give homework, and make pupils do little or no work in school. At the end of the term she should promote everyone and give a big ice cream and cake party. Cataldo Capristo, 8B2 MY IDEA OF A GOOD PUPIL Thanks, Cataldo, for your thoughts on the ideal teacher. We'd love to be that kind of teacher if we could have this sort of pupil. A pupil who never, never grumbles at the thought of work. A pupil who would also have a good heart. Should he bring an apple for the teach- er, it would never enter his noble mind to eat it up on the way to school. When the ideal pupil takes home his report card, his mother will say, Ohl and his father will say, Ah l They'll be filled with joy and wonder at the thought that one single child could be so marvelous. Then, Cataldo, when this remarkable pupil grows up he'd become very successful and write a long article in a magazine telling how he owes all his success to dear Miss X or kind Mr. Y, his favorite teacher in Boody. Have we ever had such a pupil? Of course not, but give us a chance. We're still young. , A Teacher . . ANSWERS TO AUTHORS' NAMES ON PAGE 47 l. Dickens 2. Whittier 3. Hood 4. Goldsmith 5.

Dear Editor, I think that we ought to have more sports for the girls. Many of the girls would like it. The boys have most of the outdoor games. The girls should have a baseball team just as well as the boys. Another thing is a handball club for the girls and also relay .races. Yours truly, Irma Rubin, 8Bl 0 WALTZ IS KING I don't think there is anything in the tune A Flat Foot Floogie that will make me want to get up and dance. But take the beautiful music of Johann Strauss, Victor Herbert or Ludwig Von Beethoven. Those in my opinion are masterpieces. The beautiful swaying rhythm of the Blue Danube or the beau- tiful Tales of the Vienna Woods by Johann Strauss are, I think, even to a swing fan, lovely. Or, Oh, Sweet Mystery of Life and A Kiss in the Dark and numerous other immortal melodies are not to be compared withour modern swing. A conversation I overheard the other day makes me feel stronger on the subject. It ran as follows: V I I . Hello, Marge. i HeIlo, Jane. , . Marge: Do you know any of the swing steps? A Jane: No, but l'll find them out from Marie. . Mare: Do you really like them, I mean the swing dances? Jane: To tell the truth no, but who wants to be a wallflower or back number? g , Marge: Then it really is a thing of 'monkey see, monkey do'. I think l'll cut the conversation short there. That, I think, proves, my point better than any long essay would. It is the voice of the people. I They want to dance because they feel like dancing, not because everyone is doing this or that dance. I Are we the jungle savages? When these great composers died, they did not die in spirit, for their souls remained in their immortal. masterpieces. If it came to a vote, I would cast mine on the conservative side. Sylvia Goldsmith, 9BI 52
