Censored Nonsense
By Buddy Powell
I congratulate Howard on mak
ing the varsity basketball team
as a sophomore, but he should
try and remember which basket
he is supposed to shoo-t at.
Here are some names I left
out last time.
Pershing Carlton
Columbus Wagoner
Lester Chostner
Harold Patterson
Not only do boys have wild
middle names, eh? Booe Pierce,
Flenita, Adelaide Welder . . .
Congratulations Cotton, I under
stand you got an offer to play
football at Guilford College.
I think we should have Doug
Clark’s combo for the Prom. If
you agree, please say so through
the suggestion box.
I wish I had David Martinis ini
tials. I’d monogram everything
I owned.
Bike supports the Whirlies how
about you.
Where have all the bomb-scares
gone.
The queen’s men have turned
Pro now! They are going to re
cord a new theme song for the
“Beverly Hillbillies.” It's that
Flat & Scruggs type training.
Oops, I shouldn’t have said that.
I might want to get a job with
the FBI some day and now the
Choral Dept, will tell them I’m
unstable.
Urp. Please excuse. I just saw
George Stanton’s hair.
Did you know that we have a
cheerleader who smokes cigars.
There is also one who smokes
Half & Half.
If I have to listen to the sched
ule planning speech about Dri
vers Training one more time I’ll
scream.
The pep band is a great asset
to the games. This group is not
sponsored by the band and these
boys are doing this on their own.
clap, clap, clap.

Examitis Strikes Fear
In Hearts oi Countrymen
Disaster Begins Diet
Feet Become Inches
BY JANE TURPIN
When, upon urgent request
from both my friends and ene
mies, I stepped upon the bath
room scales for the first time in
three weeks, I was dismayed to
witness a disaster. The little in
dicator spun around twice and
then the whole thing blew into
thirteen billion little pieces. Af
ter much contemplation and care
ful drawing conclusions, I deter
mined that the time was right for
me to go on a diet.
No one could eer know the
trials and tribulations of a dietor,
what he goes through to achieve
his end. (or the lack of it along
with the loss of weight concen
trated in other areas of the anat
omy.) Crash diets are ever pop
ular—no sweets, no starches, no
nothing but a bowl of dried
prunes staring up at one every
morning for a month. Do you
know what it’s like having a
bowl full of dried prunes staring
up at you each and every morn
ing at the breakfast table? It’s
fruity, that’s what it is! And then
for lunch, a slice of dried out
toast—that’s ALL! Just one slice!
No butter, no jam, no nothing—
just one crummy piece of toast.
If a dietor survives an accute
attack of starvation, he is likely
to be beaten and battered to death
in that strange ritual known as
exercising.
One may buy all types of para
phernalia designed to make him
even more miserable than he is
already with trying to carry a-
round all that extra weight. Then,
too, many dietors experiment on
their own trying to discover new
tortures for their somewhat over
loaded bodies.
For more than an era, men have
removed pounds from the poster
ior portion of the anatomy by
beating it against stone walls or
bouncing it along a cement floor.
Even with all their trials and
tribulations, most dietorg agree
that a new. slimmer and trimmer
figure is worth all the trouble,
for who else can win by losing.
BY JOHN TAYLOR
Twice a year around GHS a
phenomenon occurs which had be
come a tradition at most schools.
This phenomenon is called
PFMTAFE; Or “Preparation for
Mid-Term and Final exams.
Exam preparation generally fol
lows a set pattern. During the
first stage of preparation a notice
able difference can be observed
in the lockers aroxmd school. They
do not seem to sag as much from
the weight of moth-eaten, dusty
school books. At the same time a
marked change can be observed in
the physical form of the students.
Many students suffer from the
“Last Minute Cram Stretch.” No,
this is not a dance. It is a condi
tion resulting in elongation of the
arm, which is caused by an over
load of books near exam time.
The second phase of PFMTAFE
is the SFFS phase. (This means
“Sacrifice Fun For Study”) Con
versations such as the following
can be overheard during this try-

ing time . . . “Hey, let’s go drag
the Castle.” . . . “Noi, I better not.
I have to study for exams.” Or,
“Hey, let’s go to the Jokers Fri
day night.” “Naw, I have to study
for exams.” Or, “Hey, let’s skip
seventh period and go to Q-Ball.”
“Okay, I never study diuring
school anyway.” The last phase of
preparation involves the SUANTS
GBEL problem. (This abbreviation
(?) means “Stay Up All Night To
Study and Get a Bleary Eyed
Look.”) This extreme product of
examitis is usually manifested two
or three days before exams start.
Students stagger around seeing
two of everything. Bags form un
der eyes which are open with the
aid of toothpicks. Tempers shorten
as the studying time shortens and
by E-Day, students are usually too
tired to care whether exams are
hard or not.
Thus comes the clinching ques
tion: Are exams worth all the
studying you put into them? Well,
if you value your future as well
as your life, YES!
By Vivian Ferguson
Working in a department store
is not as dull as one might think;
almost anything can happen. A
delivery may be sent to the wrong
address or. even. worse, mailed
to the wrong town. A shelf of
china may be knocked over or, a
dog may be found on the freight
elevator.
These events are rather com
mon, hut some are hair-raising.
For in stance, once an elderly
lady fainted while riding an UP
escalator; noone wos riding with
or near her. Spellbound, the peo
ple on the floor below stared as
the limp body slowly moved up
ward. Suddenly a man dashed up
the moving steps and lifted her
off as she neared the top.
Some events are surprising. A
few months ago, a slightly stunned
but pleased sales girl watched
Jayne Mansfield casually select
and buy knee socks in eighteen
colors. Another sales person
helped a man select a peace-offer
ing for his wife; thirty pounds
of candy.
At times it is hard to decide
how to handle a situation, such
as asking a person to either pay
for merchandise or to leave it
on the shelf before leaving the
store. It is hard not to laugh
when a little boy tugs at your
sleeve and says that his mother
is lost, but he does not mind be
cause the Santa Claus in the toy
department will take him to the
North Pole.
Apathy
BY LIZ MORRAH
The trees wept leaves that fell to
earth,
And they were gone, and no-one
cared.
Likewise the tears of man must
fall
When there is nothing left inside.
For hate and love and good and
bad
Man should give grateful thanks.
For only death is left to him
Who ceases now to care.
Life’s pages yellow like an old
And faded hook with leaves all
singed
By candle flames and letters
smeared
By salty tears that dropped there
on.
Someday they’ll fall to earth like
dying leaves,
Cascade like raindrops falling to
the ground.
And no-one will be caring even
then—
No-one will be left.
