A class with no materials Dear Sir: We are a group of seniors in North Kingstown High School enrolled in a wood-working class. Some of us have up to two hours in this class each day. We feel the citizens of North Kingstown should know that we have no materials to work with. There must have been some allotment for wood- working supplies, for how else are we going to learn this trade unless we have materials to work with? It is a waste of the taxpayers money to support a class that has no materials and a waste of our time since we will not be taught to work with wood. It is our hope that some solution will be found for this serious problem by the school administration or the taxpayers. Courtesy Standard Times 7

The Perforated Spirit. . . The Perforated Spirit The fellows up in Personnel, They have a set of cards on me. The sprinkled perforations tell My individuality. A nd what am I? I am a chart Upon the cards of IBM; The secret places of the heart Have little secrecy for them. It matters not how I may prate, They punch with punishments my scroll. The files are masters of my fate. They are the captains of my soul. Monday my brain began to buzz; I was in agony all night. I found out what the trouble was: They had my paper clip too tight. — Morris Bishop

On the Move . . . Whether happy or sad; content or frustrated, the N.K. student is mov- ing. He moves to class, to the busses, to the LAV. He moves with books, without books, with purpose and, at times, without direction. But he moves!!!
