Satisfaction Guaranteed In recent years, Americans have not been satisfied with some of the goods and services provided them. Because of this, people are often dis- pleased with the qualities and guaran- teed success of the products they receive. As a result, many have turned to the 'fDo It Yourself method of accomplishing a feat or job success- fully. Using this piece of information to their advantage, several people and organizations have written books to help assist unskilled and inexperienced persons with useful hints and instruc- tions for those who wish to master any particular subject, some of which range from the construction of a bird- house to running the Boston Mara- thon. In accordance with this theme, the Bear Tracks staff has written a book which will Cwe hopej assist the average inexperienced student while giving the older, more knowledgeable student the chance to reflect on the ways he handled the various and sometimes unexpected situations encountered throughout the '78-,79 school year.

How To Look Alert In Class When You 're Really Asleep: The most important thing to remember is to keep your head up. A good way to accomplish this is to either prop your head in the palm of your hand or lean on the wall behind you. Don't forget this very important rule: DO NOT SNORE!! That is a dead give away. Every so often, wake up and look around. This gives the teacher the impression that you know what is going on. Try to have a friend nearby, to warn you if the teacher is coming and for when the bell rings. HL How To Sneak Into Class Late and Not Be Caught: Sneaking into class can be very dangerous. The first thing to do is to take a peek in the room to see where the teacher is before opening the door. When she has her back to the door, quickly open the door, dash into the room, and quietly take your seat. Most students can easily pass this stage, but are usually caught when a best friend sees you coming and yells: Where have you been? a comment which starts the teacher in asking questions. IV. Where To Go When You Are Supposed To Go To The Office: On those rare occasions when the teacher feels that it's time for you to visit the principal, shefhe will send you to the office with a misconduct slip. Naturally . . . while on your way directly there, you: 11 Suddenly have a strange urge to go to the bathroom. 2j Bump into a friend whom you haven't seen since break in the hall- way. 31 Walk so slowly that by the time you get there, the misconduct is two hours old. 4 ' Anybody - Opening
