NEWPORT HIGH SCHOOL Page 6' breezes to bring the enchanting songs of the feathered heralds of spring hither to further add to the invigorat- ing beauty of that scene of peace and contentment. Everywhere master- minds, millionaires, and lovers are building their perfect study halls in which to study their American History Geometry, English or whatever they see staring them in the face fwhen- ever they open their eyes to futilely attempt once more to understand that lesson l. They find console- ment in their theory of the perfect study hall in which they will easily study - tomorrow. This spring fever gag is certainly a convenient one. After all, one can't help it if one's delicate mind suddenly becomes afflicted, can one? You are justified in letting things slide. Your conscience has no need for suffering. Oh, yeah! Come on, wise upl' Spring is the time of year when new life is appearing everywhere. The long- absent birds are doing their best to pleasingly invigorate your sense of hearing: the budding trees, the sprout- ing grass, and the early-blooming fiowers are pleasing to the eyeg the warm sunshine and cooling breaths of fresh air should give one a light, gay feeling. Spring is the one time of year when everyone should feel young, gay, jubilant, just bubbling over with enthusiasm and ambition: the time of year when one should think of the beauty of love of nature, and of life itself, and how we are going to some day make our place in that picture: the time of year when - aw, come on! It's really disgusting to see the youth of today trying to kid themselves into believing that their heart isn't strain- ing itself to suppress that indescrib- 4 able bubbling sensation from 'which nature allows none to escape. Whad- daya say? Tuck your dignity into the closet until later on and kick over the traces and - let 'er rip. Tl Good Old School Days How much do your school days mean to you? Are you one who loves to fool away the time, and go to school only for the fun in store? The answer you should be able to give is UNO! You, as a citizen of the United States, should take great pride in your school work. After all, just think of those students in the war-torn countries who do not have schools to go to. What kind of future have they to look forward to? They will not, like we Americans, be able to proudly present a diploma to their new employer to prove that they have the necessary knowledge for that particular line of work. They will either have to start all over again after this world crisis, or, on the other hand, take what is left of the positions and be satisfied. These are only a few of the things to keep in mind when we get a little bored with studying. Even if your roving eye should fasten on the parti- cularly inviting form of a huge person who would make the ideal target for an ink-dipped spitball, do not give up. Hold on to your will-power, and think back to this little article. You can win the battle if you just remember. We are, of course, entitled to our fun in school, but, even as those who are older and have finished their schooling years ago, we must be ready and will- ing to take our share of the work with our play.
