WHO SO DIGGETH A PIT SHALL FALL IProverbs XXVI, 271 Perhaps the most valuable training received in high school is the ability to reason quickly and clearly. One is, at one time or another, confronted with some serious problem. This calls for a cool mind--a mind that can easily comprehend the situation and meet it unflinchingly. An intensive study of science helps one to meet grave situa- tions. For example, lack is unprepared for his lesson. There he sits, nervously chewing his pencil. What is he going to do? Two factors determine his policy: fab himself, tbl teacher. lack is the average student, not too bright, but always hungry for knowledge-especially during a test. Iack cannot afford to raise his hand. Iack's attitude must be that of indifference. Every now and then, however, he must nod his head as if he were listen- ing to the teacher. He must definitely not snicker or show any sign of amusement when a classmate makes an error. When called upon, the game is up for Iackz that is, unless lack follows the correct procedure. lack should get up, clear his throat briskly, stare the teacher in the eye, and confidently begin to recite. All of a sudden lack must beckon noticeably as if annoyed, at a pupil, making it obvious to the teacher that he, lack, is annoyed at this student's attempt to help him. After all, this is part of the blulfg lack has done his home- work! Well, the irritated teacher will tell Iack to sit down and ask the pupil, who was supposed to be helping Iack, to answer the question. If lack is lucky this student will be unprepared, and the teacher will be so pleased at Iack's helper's failure to answer correctly, that lack will be thoroughly forgotten. Moral: A. Iack should always make sure that his helper is well prepared for his lesson. B. Does crime pay? C. All play and no work makes lack. STACY PSYCHOYOS 17
