Do You Do It, Too?
WeU, well! So you eheatl I’ll bet you
thought no one would ever know about it!
Of course, you yourself had seen students
cheating in classes during tests, but when you
peeked at your notes or the other guy’s paper,
you were more careful!
But when a survey of cheating was made
in Senior recently, ninety per cent of your
fellow students said that they had seen you
cheat.
■When asked if cheating were ever justified,
the same approximate ninety per cent said
“Yes.” However, when the survey inquired
about the reasons, under which cheating was
justified, that same number changed their
minds, and answered “None.” Could it have
been their consciences working on them.
When you copied your best friend’s home
work paper, what was your opinion of your
self? Were you the person who said, “Maybe
it’s not altogether right, but everybody else
is doing it.”? The survey shows that stu
dent opinion says that you haven’t a legit
imate excuse, that yon should act upon what
you know to be right instead of upon the
actions of others.
■What is your opinion of yourself, you who
cheat on tests? Do you think you’re “not
really so bad”? Your classmates have very
definite ideas in the other direction. Their
opinion of you, their cheating companion, is
rather low.
■What axe you going to do about this thing ?
Are you going to go through life giving your
contemporaries reason to look down upon
you and dislike you because “you do it, too?”
Does Johns Elbow
Taste Different Lately?
“I haven’t been eating much lunch. It’s
just more trouble than it’s worth to fight that
line.”
What a familiar statement! Could it be
that Seniorites are actually afraid to run the
gauntlet in the cafeteria? That’s the way
it seems, but there are some who get through
unperturbed. How does this happen ? It’s
simple; these lucky people operate by a set
code. For your survival, the editorial staff
is publishing a list of these rules now in
effect:
1. Spot a friend who is already in line and
get in front of him.
2. If yon have no friends, wedge your way
in ahead of someone smaller than you, using
your tray as a crowbar.
3. If the line moves too slowly for your
satisfaction, gently prod the guy in front
with your fork.
4. Now comes your trouble with those who
have broken in for milk only. Try slipping
a few pieces of ice down their backs.

5. If tiiis has no effect, slap them
in the face with your lettuce unless,
of course, you happen to want to eat
the lettuce.
6. If anyone reaches for somethir^
you want or hinders you in any way,
bite him.
7. Now grab a bottle of milk and,
using it as a bludgeon, make your ’
way to the cashier.
Pardon our sarcasm, please. But
seriously, don’t you think we need
a cafeteria code . . . one a little more
divilized ?
Ooops! Pardon!
Are you one of the lucky few who
have never acquired a sprained ankle
or a mild brain concussion as a result
of a between-elass sojourn from the
Science building to English class?
Wlien merely thinking the situation
over, an inquirer might be prone to
blame the carelessness resulting in
“traffic” casualties on the mnoh-
berated sophomore. But what does
investiga.tion reveal? Most of the
time it is the soph who is flattened
against the lookers by a burly mem
ber of the senior class who is rushing
to see his one-and-only and yet be
reasonably on time for ela&s.
Then there is another type of cul
prit, Have you ever collided with a
facility member?
It is to be recognized that teaching
mnst be most taxing, but it doesn’t
seem altogether necessary for the
teachers to run aU the way to the
lunchroom. It is also amusing to
note the coltish appearance of the
noble instructors as they lope dowm
the venerable halls of Senior while
the tardy bell peals merrily. Of
course, if one is in the path of one
of these jet-propelled profs, it is not
quite so entertaining.
A stairway experience lately shared
by several students is to find one’s
self suddenly plastered against the
banister, books roughly knocked to
the four winds. It would seem that
a teacher went down the flight of
steps marked “Up Only” because “it
was much more convenient, and I
was so nished.”
A few of the students have re
ceived injuries while on the way to
typing class. They were' unfortunate
enough to collide with an instructor
from the Science building who was
dashing madly to the smoking area
between classes.
But then we can hardly expect our
teachers to comply with the traffic
regulations when we ourselves set such
horrible examples. Monkey see, mon
key do, you know.

It’s a little bit of trying,

And a heck of a lot of lying.

“Tee’s Tips”
By EVELYN SINK
“Jolson Sings Again” is a movie which
takes up the Jolson Story where the first
film left off. It tells of Al’s comeback.
Larry Parks is again starred with Bar
bara Hale. RCA Victor has a new album
in which Vaughn Monroe, Phil Harris,
Sammy Kaye, Tony Martin, Count Basie,
and Tommy Dorsey present Jolson favor
ites. Records in this album and in the
picture include “Sonny Boy,” “Is It True
"What They Say About Dixie,” “Toot Toot
Tootsie,” “After You’ve Gone,” and “I
Only Have Eyes for You.”
If you are planning to fling a big square
dance and lack records and callers for
this occasion, try . listening to Pee Wee
King’s album of square dances with calls.
He also has an album of records for the
advanced square dancers, the ones who
like to do their own calling.
Sammy Kaye is still making his hits
as regular as ever. He has made a re-
l«ise of “Hawaiian Sunset” with the
Kaye Choir and the Kaydets on the vocal.
Other popular songs by Sammy Kaye
bear such titles as. “The Last Mile Home.”
“Dime a Dozen,” “Let’s Take an Old-
Fashioned Walk,” and “Room Full of
Roses.”
During the summer, on Dick McAdoo’s
hillbilly program, a man wrote in for a
song that he wanted to hear. He wrote
a letter of conversation and said that he
had just had eight teeth exti-acted. He
did not get, the song that he had requested
due to the witty character of Dick Mc-
Adoo. Instead “Soft Lips” was played.
This little number is recorded by the
Three suns with Elton Britt and Rosa
lie Allen.
“Give Me Your Hand,” “If I Ever Love
Again,” “Jealous Heart,” “Maybe It’s
Because,” “Hop’ Scotch Polka,” “Don’t
Cry Joe,” “Now That I Need You,” “Fid
dle Dee Dee,” “Through a Long and Sleei).
less Night,” “Yes! Yes! In Your Eyes,”—
all these and many more are the new
.and popular songs that are occupying our
minds and time at the present. Perry
Como has made another beautiful re
cording. This time it is a sacred song.
It is none other than “The Lord’s Prayer”
backed by “Ave Maria.” The background
is a cboir.
Frankie Lane's “Lucky Old Sun” is still
rolling around at the top. He has recently
made another platter which is called
"Mule Train.” This is an odd combination
of voices, whips, mules, and anything else
to be classified under the sun.
Tliat’s about all tlie tips to be offered at
tliis time.

Mvice In the Lovelorn
By Dorothy
Question—Please give me some good
advice. WhaJt can I do to find out if my
boy friend likes me? He has never said
anything to make me think so, but on
the other hand he has never given me
reason to think that he doesn’t. Is he
just bashful, or waiting for the right
time?—A Crazy Senior.
Answer—Only someone who knows your
boyfriend would be able to tell whether
he is bashful or just waiting for the
right time. You should be able to decide
this for yourself from your own ot«erva-
tions. Ifrom this also you ought to know
whether he likes you or not. Of course
to get him to reveal his feelings for you
in jusit so many words as proof , of his
affection depends upon the right time,
the right place, and upon you. I’m sure
that you’re quite capable of handling it
from there on.
Question—I have a problem which has
been bothering me for the past year. My
girl friends friend follows us around
wherever we go. If we go uptown after
school she goes right along with us. If
we whisper to one another she gets fran
tic. We’ve told her to go home and have
her other bints, but she doesn’t seem to
understand. What do you think of this
and what can I do to solve this problem?
—Worried.
Dix Hutton
Answer—If you have tbld her to go
home, and she just doesn’t seem to “un
derstand,” the only thing you can iiossi-
My do is just to explain to her the entire
situation, and ask her to leave you alone
unless you in vile her along. It seems to
me that she is being very inconsiderate
because she certainly couldn’t help but
understand your “hints.”
Question—What should a fellow do
when his girl flirts with every boy she
sees?
Answer—In the first place what you
call flirting may not be flirting in the
opinion of the girl in question, so why
not get that straight first. The defini
tion of flirtation is a “coquettish love
affair; hence, any temporary interest.”
Thus you have no reason to think any
thing about it, Webster says it’s only
temporary.
(Editor’s Note: All love-sick
Sophomores, Juniors, Seniors
and Faculty members are in
vited to submit questions for
consideration abd kind advice
from Miss Dix. Please forward
your queries to room 10.)
If white is good and black is bad, then
all my friends are striped or plaid.
