South Sketch, London, December 6, I935 I 3 THE MODEL TEACHER Helen Trace i Do not be surprised if, when you walk into one of our class- l rooms some day, you seel everyone chewing gum audi talking. while the teacher reads the comics. or just patientlyl waits for the noise to cease. For this is Utopia not what the word Utopia usually im-- plies, but our own special L. S. C. I. brand of Utopia, broughti about by our teachers. They suddenly became perfect over, night, and this is the result! For instance, suppose the teacher sees a student at the' back of the room, chewing' gum. Does she order him tol dispose of it in the basket, as' of yorc? Not a bit of it! So, that he won't feel lonely and embarrassed, she gives every- one else a stick. Behold teacher and class now chewing, in unison. What a friendly? feeling prevails! And how wc love our school work! Exams are now a pleas- ure, whereas they used to be a, nightmare. Remember that' grand and glorious cram thei night before and that terrible' feeling the next morning, when we found we didn't know any- thing anyway'! Remember how we gazed lilankly into space, while the brilliant student! across the desk scratched his pen for an hour or two without , stop? Sweet memories? Yeah! But now things are differ-i Bill Pace ent, thanks to our teachers. We'll get through whether we study or not, for they have a new marking system. Everyone above fifty is marked on a basis of how much they know, as before, but those below fifty are marked on the basis of what they don't know. So you whose marks used to come to the grand total of nine, now tind yourselves with ninety-one. These are model teachers! Perhaps the best thing yet about them is that they don't give detentions. Instead, they sentence you to tive minutes hard labour playing noughts and crosses with them at the blackboard, or send you to the corner store to get an ice cream cone, and then conveni- ently forget what they sent you for. ln conclusion, a word to the First Year. YYc no longer say it with flowers. VVe say it with a new funny paper or the latest edition ol' Punt-h. '1'ou'lI find that when your teacher is buried in funnies hc's much more likely In for- give you for not doing your homework than he was when there was nothing to do but stand and glower at you, But he was not a model teacher then! STUDENTS FAVOUR GRACLE PARTY Un Friday night, February 22nd, a very successful gather- ing was held for those who had worked so hard on the produc- ,Q li! tion of The Oracle. It began with a sing-song, ably led by Bob Miller in the absence of Ernie Grove. Dick VVhite as- sisted Bob at the piano. After a half an hour of sing- ing, those who wished to dance assembled in the gymnasium, where an orchestra, made up of students of the school,unde1'l the direction of Jack Callahan, was in attendance. For those who did not wish to dance, there was a variety of games in the front of the auditorium which were enjoyed by everyone who participated in them. Lunch was served in the gaily decorated cafeteria, which showed the hard work of the committee in charge. The dancing and games continued until eleven-thirty. With the singing of God Save the King, The Uraclc party was over for another year. lf more of the students real- ized what a marvelous time we have at The flraclc party, Miki Valvert would find The Oracle sales lioundsg and the editors would not have to plead so often or! so pathetically for articles. lt is to be hoped that with the point system for articles, ad-, vertisements. and sale of Uracles, which was inaugurated this year, more people will be able to attend the most enjoy- ablc party uf the year. EX-STUDENTS ARE HONOURED The students who have won the distinction of having their Gladys Steele increasing hy leaps and' names engraved on South's Honour Tablet have by their daily conduct exemplified the fundamental principles of greatness. This has not been achieved by a single effort, but by the accumulative result of chivalry shown in all activities and contacts of school life. This year, at an impressive auditorium ceremony, three names we1'e added to those al- ready enrolled on the tablet. Doris Blackall's name was presented by Miss MacFarlane who, in a few apt words, acknowledged South's appreci- ation of Doris' cheerful, sunny influence exercised in girls' activities and other depart- ments. No committee and no party was complete without her presence. Mr. McNeil put forward Bill Pace-'s name as eligible for the Honour Tablet, and reminded us that in leadership, sports. and all activities,Bill displayed always the spirit of keen, clean sportsmanship. Mr. Allin presented the name oi' Owen Cousins anal recalled how unseltishly he had given ol' his talents both as a musi- cian and as l'1ditor-in-Chief of the Oracle. Bill Pace, on behalf of the three ex-students, thanked the stati' and school for the honour paid them. Although this reward merit- ed by these students is the highest honour that South can bestow upon them, we feel that no honour would ever be worthy of them.
