Editorials GRADUATION-THEN WHAT? If someone should ask you why you are going to high school, what would you say? No doubt you would answer, To get a diploma, of course! But is that all you expect to get out of high school? Is that all your parents want and expect you to get? It seems to me as though we waste the most important part of our life if we fool our way through school with only Iune and graduation as our goal, for this is the time for us to get a good start. Many people, after they are through high school, take a job in a local store, or some mill or factory, think- ing that they will only stay there a while and then get something better. But be- fore they know it, their whole life is gone -and they're still there. Why waste four years of high school when there are bet- ter jobs for the asking? A high school diploma is of value too, in that it can enable you to go to school further. ln this America, nothing can stop education, not even finances. Peo- ple can go to a night school and at the same time hold a good job. Probably the government will offer most of you boys a position, but is that any reason for your education to stop? There is always a future you can prepare for. There are ways you can go right on learning even though you may not think there is a need to do so. But whatever we want to do, now is the time to start thinking about it. Let's not just drift toward graduation, thinking that something will turn up, because it won't- unless you go after it. Now, while we are still in school, is the time for us to answer, after graduation-what? Charlene Kelley THE VALUE OF TIME We do not count our time, because time for youth has no commencement. We are apt to grieve about present things in school and at home, because we feel that life is immortal, and that there is always another day which holds fresh, new prospects. If you, especially the underclassmen, wish your life to be a success or just your high school career profitable you must strive to make each day a little fuller and, not only dream, but work with strong determination toward that goal which you wish to attain with your life. P. Doble HOW TO STUDY AND LIKE IT The main thing one must remember when he has to study is listen. You must develop your own study technique, certain principles will help you, if understand and apply them. Learn to take notes by devising a sys- tem of abbreviation of your own noting ideas, not words. Understand an assignment before you leave the classroom. Start early on your work and do not leave it till the last minute. Avoid putting too much time on one subject. The idea that slow readers always re- member more than rapid readers is pure superstition. It pays to learn to read rapidly. Words are the soul of reading and the essence of thought, for we think with words. You need many words, not to show off, but to think better. Learn to concentrate and really know this secret of successful study. When you study--study: when you are through- quit. Don't try to concentrate too long- a half hour to an hour is right. lf you think that all people with good memories were born that way, you are wrong! Much of memory is habit. You must be interested in your work. Get the correct answer the first time and repeat it over and over. Study frequently for short periods, Re- view soon after something has been learned. The art of learning isn't so hard after all, if you will take the time to study and like it. but you and Laura Robichaud
