 it was fixed, were major factors uhat prevented the team from joining the league. I believe, and I think many will agree with nc the Town Hall could be repaired with a reasonable amount of cost to the town. I feel sure that wo would take pride in preserving an improved Town Hall. Herman Benjamin '61 ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OP TELEVISION Television has manjr disadvantages as well as advantages. There could be many improvements in television, such as taking off a few cowboy and cartoon programs, and adding more educational ones; yet unless a few of these are loft there would be quite a shortago of viewers. It seem to me programs could bo planned to satisfy tho wants of the younger group as well as of teen-agers. I realize it would bo difficult to do this, but it could bo done. They arc not getting oneugh educational television, and too much gun play, murders and such. Tho little tots enjoy cartoons and that it really doesn’t matter, but youngsters in school and pupils in higher grades have home work to take up more of their time. A8 for tho teen-agers and older group who have exams to bo prepared and studied for, if they sit near T.V. and watch with too much interest thoy neglect proper reviewing. Thus.in some cases this may result in failure in their tosts. These I fool are disadvantages. On tho other hand, youngsters and older groups arc willing to watch T.V.; not to attend movies as thoy us to do boforo they had television in their homos ' Because of T.V. Payrolls many quiz shows have boon token off. Nevertheless, quizzes are very helpful in that many timos it happens that during those quizzes wc aro often having tho same topic in school. Seme pupilc havo certain hours to retire; others do as they sec fit. Anyhow more children arc off the streets now and aro not so mischievous, which today is very important. Those aro a few of tho reasons why I consider that television programs havo their advantages. Sandra Lothian '60

ETIQUETTE k Etiquette is set by a simple set of rules of behavior. By using these rules people make living with esch other more oleas - ant and comfortable. All people are born partially selfish. The reasons for etiquette arej v e are polite to each other because we want other people to be polite to us. To be polite sometimes costs us som3 of our comfort. But in the long run we gain more than we lose, because other people show consideration fer us. One of the most important aspects in our human relations is conversation- The way we talk to people largely controls the way they feel about us. Polito speech is the surest mark of gocd manners. Rudeness to those who servo us is the mark of an impolite person A man may have goed table manners, but a rude way of speaking to a waiter will identify him as a man little training in etiquette, Pooplo are made haopy or un- happy by the way other people speak to then. There are rules of etiquette for both what we say and how we say it. An uneducated man may use bad grammar but the kind- ness in tact with which he speaks will main him as a polite man. Another person may use perfect grammar, but makes so many unkind remarks that it xs obvious ho has no manners, A person 3hows his conversational manner best when arguing. One with bad man- ners, shouts when angry. He often interrupts, A person with good manners keeps his voico low, and lets others continuo speaking until they have finished. But this works both ways. Only a bore talks constantly so that no one can speak without interrupting. After reading an article about foreign schools and how the students conducted themselves, Wb compared them with our school and found quite different results. The main thing that struck me about their schools was how mannerly and polite they must be They get in ranks outside of the school and quietly wait for the teacher to open the doors. They hang up their wraps and go to their first class without talking. How confused a foreign student would be if he came to F.H.3 for a week. In the morning he would arrive on the bus and see students hanging out of windows, throwing era-sers. at each other, and what would he think? Well, he would wonder if someone had given him the wrong address and sent him to the neighborhood ?oo. Once inside he might have to dodge paper airplanes, spit balls, and flying erasers. When he went to hang up his clothes he would see a jumbled mess that one would expect of first graders, not high school. Thon he would have to fight his way through the crowds of yelling students to get to his home room. Once safely in class he would see gum chewing continued whispering and sleeping students. In his country if any student dared to commit such crimes, he would get the strap across the hand ♦Until recently.
