When you sighl a senior, bow low lrom lhe waisl down and remain lhus unlil lhe senior approves yo posilion. The senior . will lry lo sell you audilorium sealstwli 'pwtemfecatrlls you can gel lhem cheaper lrom lhe sop omores. Should you encounler a senior coming down lhe corridor wilh lwo or more books, simply drop your own and aid lhis worlhy soul oul ol his unlorlunale plighl. You will be generously re- warded by nol having lo polish his senior bullon. So you'd like a program change, dear lreshman? Jusl reguesl whal you wish and a bonded messenger will have your O plea granled immedialely. Gelling bored by your hislory pe- riod? Simply cul lhe period and lel mallers lake care ol lhem- selves. Il you are presenled wilh a pink card, don'l Iel il worry ' you-a blue one is worse. Always consull a senior and you will never go wrong. Shirley Fuchs All my lile I was whal may be lermed a good sludenl. I was always a guiel, hard-working lillle slave. I rose al lhe crack ol dawn so I could reach school even belore lhe ianilor did. Once in school, I spoke very Iillle lo my neighbors and always pored over a book when leacher was busy. I jumped oul ol my seal lor every answer I knew, handed in exlra lenglhy 6 6 ' 9 ' orl d il m business lo slgymller school lo mark lesl I a blQOpe iiilamjlr'oI'gmped down a glass ol milk and proceeded lo gel mysell weary wilh homework unlil bed lime. I only paused lor dinner and lhe Lone Ranger. I Bul now I am a senior. Lile is wonderlull In lhe morning I leave home al lhe Iasl momenl and lry my very besl nol lo be loo lale lor my second period class. I lalk every possible minule and even lhose minules which are nol possible. Books have come lo be only lhings which musl be carried lo and lrom school so I ' can look sludious and pacily my parenls. Doing homework is a mere lhing ol lhe pasl and I only slay aller school when I can'l O gel my locker open. I have spenl almosl lhirleen school years lo become lhis educaled and il was worlh il. The only regrel I have is lhal I ' couIdn'l be a senior lhroughoul high school. Kale Cohen
