VVhy does everything always happen to mein livery student at some time or other has voiced this plaintive cry, bemoaning the fact that just when I'm in a hurry, Dad won't let me have the car. Such luckln Yes, it seems that petty annoyances invariably crop up at the most inopportune times. That English theme is always due on the same day as the dreaded chemistry project, and how is there pos- sibly time to do both? Then, too, a half-hour con- ference period after school can take an awful chunk out of a carefully scheduled afternoon. At the re- quest and convenience of the teacher, such a con- ference is just one more item on the already over- loaded agenda of the average student. XVith so much to do and so little time to do it in, there are many who find that a lack of the ability to read quickly is a great drawback. The midnight oil often burns brightly in the bedrooms of students who put off a book report until the final night, only to discover too late that even a cursory reading requires several hours. The trivial vexations at home can be just as exasperating as those occurring during the school day. A torn umbrella, a leaky fountain pen, a nail polish bottle whose cap is immovable, a pair of rubbers lost in a pitch black closet, such trifling everyday objects can make a student gnash his teeth and wonder if life is worth living, after all. Common as they may be, these irritations are diHi- cult to laugh off. F. Bocelli ind: it hard to .ree with an ice- cavered windxhield. J. H ogan and B. Perry make minor adjustment: on their imtrumznls. Q ' Nu 4 fb ' -fi- V ff? 1 if gljyi ' l YET' li I llllilzl- ea yn K'-L t M
