Yes, here they are: the first
returns of those tests you took last
Wednesday. Three I. B. M. machines
blew up tring to tabulate the ans
wers, so there results were compiled
by a seamstress from the Zenzendorf
Laundry who kindly volunteered her
services.
First, before the results are
presented, a few opening remarks.
Will the student who admitted chop
ping his mother up with a hatchet
and burying her in the backyard
please make an appointment with Mr.
Merrill to discuss some problems you
may have. Thank you.
Also, some advice to the yotmg
lady whose name invaribly turned up
on the last page of each boys paper.
We suggest a quick appointment with
the infirmary for a few painless
tests.
Now then, the first results:
Of all the students at the North
CArolina School to the Arts—some
are male and some are female.
Of all the students at the North
Carolina School of the Arts—no one
has three close friends.
Of all the relationships at the
North Carolina School of the Arts—
only one person is pinned. Whoever
it is didn't have the guts to sign
his name!
According to the available sta
tistics regarding the male students
presently enrolled, 3% would rather
be female. But that's perfectly al
right, 4.5% females would rather be
males.
100% of the presently enrolled
students plan to drive expensive
cars, even if they have to "hot wire"
Dr. Meninni's.
According to the polls several
department Deans should leave town—
quietly—but quickly! Quickly!
Of all the students enrolled in
the school--25% had fewer cavities
with Crest, but nobody intends to
walk a mile for a Camel. Nine out
of ten prefer member of the oppo
site sex!
Of all the drama students, 75%
said Ira Zuckerman looked more like
Bugs Bunny than Yogi Bear. The oth
er 25% were still undecided.
Of all the Music students 100%
preferred not to hear a concert by
Louis Meninni on his Italian Kazoo.
Of all the Dance students 80% '
think Duncan Noble wears elevator
shoes; 20% think he doesn't really
have feet.
