SCHOOL
Students are really pests;
Their teachers never have a rest.
From making out tests, from papers to grade,
Sometimes they wish they were laid in the grave.
In study hall they have quite a time,
To keep the students all in line.
In classes the boys make bright remarks
But just look at their grades, They're not very smart.
When report cards are handed out,
Some students groan, others will shout,
"I made high-honor roll!
What a weight is off my soul."
Finally the last day of school arrives,
The old building sounds like a beehive;
Books are thrown here and there,
But, darn, we have to come back next year.
By Betty Manus

GOSSIP
Why is it that Don H. is always teasing rhoda E. on the bus?
Why is it that Eldon H. likes to go to San Jose? Could it be a San Jose girl by the name of Bonnie?
What's this we hear about Janet K. and Marian B. going with Gerald the same night? The answer is simple. There were two Geralds.
Should we believe Miss Berninger when she says the white hair found on her coat came from Mrs. Brown's cat?
Who is the guilty one who is taking articles from the girls' coat pockets in the rest room?
The bookkeeping class is quite busy now with their practice sets, so they won't have any free time to talk. Of course, they all say they never talk, anyway, but we all know better.
What's this about all the girls wanting a picture of Keith in his basketball suit? Better watch out girls, Verna Mae won't like that.
Why is it that Dean D. wanted to stay our [sic] of school Tuesday? Could the answer be Speech class?
Why is it that Mrs. West gave the bookkeeping class such a hard test this six weeks?
What was the matter with Gene and Carol Friday night? they weren't together at the game.
Whose pipe did Sampen have at the skating party?
Why was Ray P. put in front of the Wests on the way home from the sophomore skating party?
Miss Berninger tries to make everybody believe she doesn't like Donald N., but we all know better.
Say, Flip, does a certain girl have that much influence on you to keep you out until 1:00 a.m.?
And, Evelyn, what is this you are going to teach Harry to do? We didn't hear all of it.
*****************************************
FAME to James Hoar for getting his newspaper article in on time.
FAME to Miss Berninger for giving the English classes a vacation.
