CHIT CHAT 22 Giving a F urty? Our final game suggestion to pep mp your next party is one which interest players from both intermediate and senior groups.' This itforsational game» which is called Predicaments and Remedies, is Cvpd thus: the players are divided into two groups and seated on p osite sides of the room. The two groups are labeled as Predicament °Pji Remedy teams respectively. 8110 Each player on the Predicament team whispers to the one on his ht. a predicament; the members of the Remedy team whisper remedies ft the loft. Now the player at the head of the Predicament team names the oredicament that was whispered tea him, while the player opposite at the head of the Remedy team tells the remedy that was told to him 1 This continues until each player has related a predicament and received the prescribed remedy from the opposite side. Ycrur Year at School 1 would like to ask the same question- of each of you, which in all probability- those teachers who are really interested in you, TOuld like to ask also At least they would be a bit curious about your answer. What did you get out of school this year? Ask yourself this question and then analyze your reactions to it. I cwr, perhaps tell you the'desirable answer, the one you would proba- Hy like to be able to give, but what actually was the extent of youi accompli shment ? Of course, I grant that we al.l vary widely in interest and in ability. A course that puts one student to sleep may be the course that another one benefits most from However, even if a r.Jb ss - was particularly dull tcr you, Cldyou make it pay off? You wonder hot; such a thing can be possible I You probably could learn in it even ' If you actively dislike It. If you don't, you are wasting your own, your class mates'and your teacher's time. You took the work in the first place for some roaster and failing it i s going to benefit, noono Is there anything mare stupid than lolling through a year of T7°rk only to be tortured with it another ye r? Along with success in your studies you should have attained “Shy other goals. . You- should have added to your wardrobe of friends. You ought to begum laying plans for what is to come after graduation. The behind bar’s attitude that many, possibly a majority of F|«ents have,Is decidedly juvenile. Much of this Idea stems from a “pEt of dream world in which the student pictures himself as free from school tasks and responsibilities, but at the scune time sees no reside tasks or responsibilities as being his. Obviously few poooio, °ht of school, will find themselves in such carefree circumi 5 3nces. Up £f this is your last year of school, you should be ready with year's plans. If you are going to college or to other educatior TroJ5ls itut OIIS»’ better, if at all possible, to continue your while school habits are still strong.
