EDITORIAL VALUE OF E XAMINATIO NS Pro not inn and a high rating in school depend on answering questions. What use is knowledge if it can f t ho put to work? Those ’Who can’t buckle down and work for hotter results at school will have trouble working out of school. There is no place for the slacker in school or business. Examinations are gauges to determine the amount of work and concentration a student has put into his studies. Although some people assert that high marks can be attained by ’’cramming at exam time, this is not so. Good marks can be had only by sustained effort all the year round. Many industries require job applicants to take examin¬ ations and tests to find their qualifications for high positions. Apprentices in different trades are required to take examinations to qualify as experts in their particular field. Good marks cannot be achieved without hard work, but those who have worked efficiently will get the maximum value out of school, and will he more prepared for after school life. - - Robert Munson EDITOR IAL SCHOOL AUDI TO RIUM East Kildonan’s need of an auditorium is one which has been discussed and discussed with not much done about it. At present there is no adequate accomodation for the meetings of groups of over three hundred in East Kildonan. There is no ex¬ cuse. Some say that the expense is too much. I admit it costs a lot to build such a place but the cost does not compare with the need. The building could be paid for in a few years merely by charging for the rental of it and since the meetings of many organizations take place out of the community it would be just money in the pocket to have them meet at a community owned auditorium instead. The students of our schools have no place for indoor sports or public meetings where many people could assemble at one tinre. I am sure that everyone is aware of the necessity of an auditorium so why don’t we do something? - Sandra Summerell EDIT ORIAL SUMMER SCHOOL What do you think about summer school? In my opinion it is a glorious chance for a person to redeem himself and build up his own self confidence. You are committing no sin by going to summer school. You are only proving to yourself and others that just because you had a few failures, you are not defeated. You intend to better your education anyway. I know that our parents, not all, but most of them, seem to think that by sending their children to summer school, they are punishing them. Just be cause .w ' S stay in school during the summer; don’t think that we aref serving out a sentence for some crime which we have committed. It is not so. It is a great opportunity for making new friends and social contacts as well as a chance for improving your schooling. - Given O’Shea
