The Steno Club Abbey, McLaughlin, Harrison,, Norton, Mrs. Holman The copy was written and the editors of the Press Club had checked the details, but the final step was the Steno Club’s task to turn out readable issues of the Bugle. Cooperating with their advisor and with each other, the students prepared their typewriters and started pounding furiously. After the stencils had been typed, the art work perfected, and the paper mimeographed, the finished editions were ready for the student body. Although the school paper was their main project, the members assisted in various other jobs such as the printing of tickets and programs. Artistic talent and time were essential in producing the Senior Play programs. The experience gained by participating in this club is useful for the Commercial student in his future career. twenty-four Wintcrquiit, Runiscy, Benson, Turner, Renner, McDivitt, Kcech, Grimes, Kerr, Mowxry, Spencer, McNeil, Tronetti, Redington

EDITORIAL By observing Ihe faces of the students in school, one might think that half of them had just inherited a million dollars while the other half had just lost everything. Of course, these reactions arc caused by report cards and mid-terms. If you are not one of those smiling faces, ask yourself, Why not?” You may think you have a dozen valid excuses, but let’s ennumerate and see. I Fill in the following: Name (no aliases) Address (no hangouts) Sex (answer Male or Female not yes or no) Desired life work (no unlawful work allowed) II True-False (answers arc up to the discretion of the teacher) 1. This course is for the birds. 2. The professor is punchy. 3. It signifies the end of the world. 4. This section of true—false questions is ridiculous. 5. There is no counterfeiting machine in the furnace room. 1. You don’t have enough brains. Nonsense, everyone has an approximately equal amount of gray matter. You just haven’t bothered to put enough wrinkles in it. (Wrinkles arc caused by retainment of knowledge.) 2. You can’t remember things. Memory is caused by concentration and a willingness to learn. Given an assignment, don’t say, But I can’t do this! It’s too hard.” Say, Well, I’ll try,” and turn off that radio! 3. You can’t concentrate in class. If your mind wanders, it means you are not interested in the subject; consequently, you won’t pass that course. Be interested and you’ll find yourself listening and remembering. If you can’t get interested, then tolerate the subject because you must listen. 4. You hate homework. Everyone gets tired of it, we admit, but never come to class without your work done. It is easy to slide into a no-work rut but extremely hard to climb out. School isn’t a six hour per day proposition. It is a tweniy-four hour job training you for adult life. Now see, you are half way to becoming an A student already. Port Allegany High School will start the new trend of smiling faces on report card day. O.K.? 87—100 you cheated 42—86 average 32—41 neurotic 27—31 psychic 22—26 emotionally disentegrating 4—27 example of Dewey’s theory Below 3 no hope If your test has any one of the 3029Vi pages missing, put your right ear in the air.
