IS SEEPAGE OF KNOWLEDGE YOUR
TROUBLE?
By the time this edition of The

■will be over. All will, we hope,
he well and the serentiy of the
school will be broken only by the
removal of the dead ’^odies who
expired as a result of strained
brain cells.
Let’s consider what could have
caused these damaged brains. May
be it waS--overwork? Knowing the
students of today (and being one)
I hardly think so.More than likely
it was, in common terms, underwork.
Our scientific definition of this
haDoenstance will be ”seepage of
knowledge,” for that is most pro
bably what hapT)ened to the majorit^,^

the first semester.
Let us examine more closely the

'■ Congratulations to Nancy' Helen
Bruton and John Carter Ingram for
vTinning the Jordan-Matt hews av^ard
for being the best sports during
this game. The award was a blue
ribbon and a card with this inscrip- *
tion: ’’The best sport during the
Jordan-Matt hews game.”
This award is given to four *
people at every home conference
game by the Jordan Matthews School.
Two girls and two boys are picked
to receive the ribbon. The oppos
ing vote for a boy and girl from
each team to receive these sports

derive the term ’’seepage of know
ledge” originating from the fact
that what knowledge vjas ^ crammed
into the pretty little heads of
West Montgomery students seeped
within a matter of days into parts
Unknown. The student who found
himself in this embarrassing posi
tion (and most of us did) was con
fronted with a veritable mountain
of vTork ahead of him. To do the
necessary work in preparing for
exams in the allotted amount of
time was impossiblo“ and the
’’strained brain” resulted.
As with most things, the term
’’seepage” does not refer directly
to every student in West Montgomery
nor does it necessarily include
the majority. Quite tfcio contrary-;-
Many students needed only monentary ^
examination of material at hand to
provide them with a first class
exam grade. If you happened to be
one of those who barely fell out
side of this group, don’t take it
to heartc Just remember it and
work harder next semester. Keep
the term "seepage of knowledge” in
mind and try to retain some of the
information gri-ncd during the sec-
ond semcst
