18 THE LOBBY CHUSH By Sharon Char a ch. 7-15 At 11.55 every day in our room. Comes a halt in the morning rush. And promptly again at 3.55, Comes what is known as the lobby crush. Every life-loving soul should beware of the place, V here we keep our coats and hats, ’There the anatomy is marked in purple and blue. And the coats are used as doormats. A few kicks in the shin and a pair of smashed feet, A shove and your head hits the wall. A push from behind you, sends you flat on your face, A knee in your neck helps you fall. Antics that happen in that much dreaded place Elsewhere are not to be seen. Discipline and order quite disappear In the lobby cursh of 7-15. APT AT HUGH JOHN By Pat Riordan, 8-25 Art has a very promising future. There are many different classes of art, suoh as oosaneroial art specializing in portraits or in landscapes, and the new kind of art, called modern art, in which colour is the chief way of expressing the artist ' s thoughts. These paintings are often very hard to understand. Elien we talk about art generally, we have in mind something which includes perhaps a little of all the various kinds of art. Art, generally speaking, offers little future to a person, unless that person is a genius. Most poeple who look to Art for a means of livelihood, specialize in some branch o f Art. I hope some day to become a commercial artist. I have selected that class of art in which I am most interested and in which I can see most promise. Mr. H ' olfe is our very experienced art teacher. He makes you do things on your own instead of spoon-ffeding you. Spoon-feeding will never get you anywhere in the world of Art. HAHHFUL COMICS By Dave Song, 8-06 Harmful comics should not be sold or even published. Sometimes haimful comics put a lot of silly ideas into young people ' s minds. Suppose they are reading about a harmful space ship. They might think of building a space ship and putting it on a roof or high place. Then they might jump off the roof or high place thinking that it may fly. In this way there can be many broken bones or even a death. I think that many people will agree with me that the most harmful comic is a orirne comic. This is a conic that will put all kinds of crime thoughts in young people ' s minds. A young child may be playing with a rope and may hang himself or someone, as in a comic. It has happened before. Young people get ideas such as carrying weapons around with them. They also begin to act like some big shot. They may begin to steal, get ideas of how to kill. The young epople doing these crimes will be put in juvenile court or a Home. I think any person or persons selling haim ful comics, especially crime comics, should be fiP or put in jail.
