HAT9 OFF DEMURRING OF HATS Hats are here , hats are there , hats are everywhere . Makes people think, What ever happened to their hair? For what reason do they wear them; I ' ll never know. I wish for someone to please tell me so. I wonder if those people ever get hot; 1 mean , wearing those ridiculous hats a lot . Hats are worn even when it ' s warm. Oh, that ' s so silly. They shouldn ' t be worn unless it ' s cold or chilly. If only I could have my own way with hats. I ' d collect them all and they ' d be thrown to the rats. If I could only do so , then that would be the end of that . And the world would look better Without each unnecessary hat. Cynthia Edmonds Chris Foreman We feel that male students should not be allowed to wear hats in school because we don ' t need a hat to look good. Hats are usually worn to hide dirty or messy hair. Just keep clean, hair neat, and be yourself. Choose something else to match your clothing. Hats probably won ' t stay in style. A hat cannot bring out the real you , you have to do that by yourself. A man should be a man, and a gen- tleman does not wear head coverings indoors. I have found that the removal of a hat inside the building is a matter of personal courtesy. Of course, hats do not interfere with learning, and to a certain extent, I would prefer seeing a hat as opposed to some heads. However, the wearing of hats has increasingly become an act of rebellion to old customs rather than for warmth or looks. My feel- ing is that school is a place where personal grooming, and personal values should be developed and encouraged, I feel confident that a president of a company, where one may apply for a job, would be offended at seeing a hat perched on one ' s head.
