Page Two JUNIOR POINTER Wednesday, February 14, 1962 9^ Aluxai^l Meeded . . . . . . £6^p.edalli^ at John Price A person’s behavior is the showcase of his inner disci pline. Misbehavior is characteristic of immaturity, just as self control shows maturity. The reason chapel programs are presented to the stu dent body is that one should be familiar with the finer arts. He needs math and English, but one also needs a background in culture. When one is in the auditorium, the teacher isn’t there to watch over him. She is there to watch and enjoy the program. Let her watch in peace! If one would show self-control in the auditorium, he could appreciate the pro gram much more. All programs aren’t as interesting as a magician’s tricks, but each of the programs presented has a point that is to be borne out. This point may not be brought out in the most interesting way, for all good thoughts aren’t especially entertaining. If one would only let himself enjoy the pre sentation, or at least soak some of it in, everyone would be better off. It is very impolite and quite inconsiderate to talk, pick, or generally make a nuisance of one’s self during a per formance. To be disconcerted time and time again is enough to arrouse wrath in anyone. Perhaps one’s self isn’t interest ed in the topic, but the person sitting next to him may be, therefore making it his duty as a mature person to act his age. If one can’t get to a chapel program on time, it isn’t worth it to him to see half of it, and he disturbs the whole audience with the banging of doors and the clatter of feet. When a program doesn’t mean enough to him that he doesn't get in on time, then he just shouldn’t come at all. By controlling these impulses, one will present him self as the behaved grown-up he really is, for anyone can cut up, but self control is a true sign of maturity, therefore making it a prevailing trait in his character. So everyone should sit up, and be the mature teen-ager. If he won’t do it for himself, he should do it for others. Joan and Johnny Knight Each Twin Likes to Win . . . .... Over the Other Twin Sara Lee Cassell Keen competition in grades is always just as your elbow if you have a twin! For John and Joan Knight it is a never- ending struggle to maintain a higher grade than the other twin. John excels in algebra while Joan makes the better English grades. If one twin doesn’t understand his work, the other explains it. In many aspects it’s convenient Daughter and son of Mrs. to be twins agree this companion- Elizabeth Knight, Joan and John, able twosome. If one doesn’t want to invite a date for a party, the other twin is usually available. During the last snow, having a twin was handy — or was it? John asked Joan to help him with his paper route. She agreed, for a price. While John delivered papers Joan sat on the sled comparing snow flakes. Every time she found a per fect one, she called John back to the sled to look at it. “There she sat admiring snowflakes and I was paying her for it,” said John. Because they are together much of the time, they have even thought the same. For instance John and Joan can be on different floors of their home and still be humming the same tune at the same time. .Snow’s Beauty . Powdery Crystals Moke Blanket IVancy Hutto Refreshing, white crystals of powdery snow provide a blanket of wonder for everyone to enjoy. The long, bored faces of chil dren supernaturally turn into eager, enthusiastic smiles when the first flake of snow appears. Animals, as well as children, rejoice at this wonder which provides a lasting playground until the first lambent rays of sun peek from behind the gloomy clouds to melt it all away. Excited voices of parents and children can be heard as the sleds are finally being freed from the cel lar to provide the hearts of young with the most wonderful snow-ride of the season. Icy winds cut across the faces of the young and pro duce a rosy tint of happiness. The first step taken in the snow magically releases one from the toils and demands of today. Only the artistic hand of God can make such a miracle, which un locks a new world of enchantment where adults and children can be young in heart forever. Snow’s Hardships along with their older brother, Jimmy, share more responsibility than most teen-agers. The reason for this is their father’s death in an automobile accident when the twins were three. John helps in the yard and Joan cleans house. John and Joan’s art ability has been displayed on their home room bulletin beards. At poster parties, these young artists are invaluable. John plays the drums in the concert band and Joan has played the violin in the orchestra. Posed with the questions of whether they would rather be twins or not, Joan answered “Yes.” John just roiled his eyes to Joan and grinned. *• •( It. -^t, */ Ak . mm A Good Janitor Is A Blessing Dear James, During those snowy, icy days of January we often thought of you when we walked into our warm homerooms. Many of us had come from several miles out and we were ice-cold. You had arrived at school two hours earlier and had gotten the building comfortable. When there are ice and snow on the fire escapes, steps, and side walks, you are always out there before any one arrives with your 'luvei, salt iiiiu iuvNaUtt. It would be hard to list all the routine and odd jobs of your day. But it would be safe to say that you are the last to leave at 6 p. m. Any Saturday at 7:00 a. m., you may be found in a special cap and suit cleaning the furnace. After two hours of this you mop the flues and wax the office floor. Thank you, James, for keeping our school W'arm and for keeping it a nice place to work and study in.
