HAIR! HAIR! ENOUGH OF THIS Why do they do it? Why must every girl in the school make her repairs so openly? Not that we object to the powder, or the rouge, or the lipstick (there are more unpleasant things than lipstick)—but why must they comb their hair in the public eye? You may take that literally, if you like. Coiffeur coddling is not confined to study periods, either; nothing is so calculated to infuriate an ordinarily mild teacher (bless her heart) as to see a girl, mirror propped up against a pocketbook, agitating her topknot instead of soaking up those words of wisdom. It isn’t safe to sit behind one of these wild women! A hair in the head is worth almost any number in the mouth. And that brings us to the cafeteria. Of course, combing there doesn’t annoy the boys so much, since they don’t have to eat at the same tables, but being entirely unselfish and public-spirited we’ll complain anyway. At least the girls should give the girls a little consideration. Teachers and students, unite! Have done with this menace forever! Even the males that are slow on the uptake suspect that you girls do it for their benefit, but take our word for it. they don't care if a hair is out of place as long as it remains attached to your heads, and honestly, they wish you’d quit it. LAURELS Congratulations to the staff of the Q-Hi-News! They have done a fine job of bringing a newspaper to life, which is no simple task. Much more important, they have kept it alive by printing honest, interesting news. The News has definitely demonstrated its importance. Despite the handicap of a late start, the paper has developed quickly and smoothly. There is no doubt in anyone’s mind as to its popularity. In fact, all signs point to a brilliant future. Again, congratulations and good luck! MORE LAURELS Since we are on the subject of successful publications, might we be permitted to give ourselves a little credit? In the last Columbia Scholastic Press Association Contest, we were rated a first-class magazine in the 1500- 2500 enrollment group. Only one other magazine was accorded first place, and only two rated “Medalist ; thus we are proud at finding ourselves among the first four. We thought we’d let you know. ■.page Six
