20 CyMe§ TELEVISION AND HOMEWORK Phyllis Cahoon. ' 54 It seems that many people think that tele- vision has affected the student of today and has interfered with his schoolwork. Although television has been here for several years, there is still some feeling that it is to blame when homework isn ' t done. As the past few years have gone by, students have learned to accept television, not as a novel- ty, but in the same category as radio. They SCHOOL FACULTY CHANGES Carolyn Bamber, ' 54 There have been three new teachers at Scituate High School this year. Mr. Herschel Benson, who is a graduate of the University of Illinois, is now teaching algebra and boys ' gym classes. Before coming to Scituate, Mr. Benson taught at Topsfield and Mansfield.

Next, Elizabeth Grassie told of the Essay and Poster Contests which were to be held. Bill Vines, president of the Key Club, described the two Good Sportsmanship Awards to be given to any boy I not in the Key Club I and any girl realize that homework must be done, and the great majority plan television around their home- work and will not allow television to interfere; the student who doesn ' t care probably won ' t do his homework under any circumstances. Television has been blamed for everything from poor eyesight to neglect of homework. As soon as another invention is popularized, it will have to carry the responsibility for various prob- lems. If we would realize that television is a form of entertainment and instruction instead of a hindrance to mankind, we could begin to use it as a valuable asset to the student of today.
