By this time we have been to Aunt Jenn1e's and are back. Talk about automobile troubles, they use to have Dobbin trouble! Gone also are the things in life we want most these things are courtesies. The young man of today drives into the yard, honks his horn loudly while his girl friend puts on her own coat, goes running down the walk opens the door for herself and they are off. Think of all the conveniences that we have living in this day and age, and the few conveniences Gramma had but she never complained We are still seeking modern equipment to make the task at hand eas- ier. Also seeking higher wages for doing as little work as possible. True to the American government and countries abroad wanting more than they have, getting it by hook or by crook, rather that enjoying what they have now and making the best of it. with no thought where the money is coming from to meet expenses. To much credit is worse than not enough. And we will be on the spot until we learn to live in a bracket that is equivalent to our income and the same applies to the American government. We would rather be living in Gramma's day when the boy came to the front door and knocked, waiting patiently to be invited in. It wouldn't matter so much to us if we had only Dobbin for transportat- ion as long as we were not taken for granted. Be aware gentlemen, when you go calling on your best glrl, remember some of the courtesies of the good old days. If only the things of the past that meant so much to us and the conveniences of the present could be combined, what a glorious place this earth would betx Irene MacDonald 'EL NTHE NIGHT BEFORE FINALSN Twas the night before finals, And all through the room, The papers were scattered we thought we were doomed. we were studying hard as any one could see, when all of a sudden someone hollered to me. nCome quick Jane, there's not a minute to lose, Come quick, for we all have very bad news!

Oh, you haven't got one? Now, listen here, young fella, I don't put up with any of this wise-guy stuff, understand? A11 right, now, as I was saying--whats your name? Oh, Sonny, huh? How cute! All right now, wipe that smirk off your face. How old are you? Old enough to know better, did you say? Now thats not even funny, I should have been old enough to know better than be a piano teacher, but anyways, lets be serious about this, How old are you? Oh, ten, huh? Okay, thats settled, now sit down at the piano--hey! wait a minute, I said the piano not the sewing machine--whats the matter with you, anyway, don't you know the difference between a piano and a sewing machine? Okay, now see all those keys? There's 88 in all, but you don't use them all. why not? well, ah-ah, well, you don't thats all--quit asking silly questions, will ya? You'd think I was playing teacher to a quiz kid or something. Who's idea was it to have you take piano lessons, anyway, you Mother? Yup, just as I thought--sounds just like a woman--now you just go over there and study yourself in the mirror--see?--now anyone can tell by just look- ing at that stupid face of yours that you haven't got a drop of music in you--but anyway--thats beside the point--lets get back to the piano. Now this middle note right here is C. No, not see-its C, you knowA,B,C,Coh, brotherD,now the next one is D and the next are E,F, G,A,B,C. See it ends in C, too. what?! you say you didn't come here to learn the alphabet? well, you thick-headed, numb-skulled, little brat, thats part of learning to play the piano. Oh--so you'v had enough of this? Well, so have I! You what? You're not my new pupil- Who are you? You're just delivering my paper?ll Get out! Get outll Edith Paye '53 HNo Can Don I'm no good at making poems, As you will all agree. why you asked me to in the first place, Is more than I can see. But as you know, I'll do my best Although it is a worry. I'll have to get this off my mind, Because I'm in a hurry. I've got to study science, and A lot of civics, too. If I don't get it done on time, I'll blame it all on you. Marilyn Hately -55 QVDLNLDUUDNDDUNDEDDUMBDDDDUDDVULD9DDlDDDMUDDDVDDNLDVDDLIDDD!LDDVDDDDDVDVDVDNDDDUDDD
