} p *) November 4, 1949 Graph Shows Outcome Of Survey on Cheating -200— -150— -100— YN YN YN YN YN YN YN YN 4 8 The above graph displays on a percentage basis the results of the recent survey of cheating, made here at Senior by the journalism classes. The results recorded are in correspondence with the follow ing questions: 1. Have you ever seen a student cheat? 2. Do very many students cheat? 3. Is cheating ever justified? 4. Is there anything wrong with the statement that young people can be foi^iven for doing some things that they know are wrong if other people are doing the same things? 5. If a person has stolen only a few times would you consider him dishonest? 6. Are any matters of life so im portant that it would be foolish not to cheat a little in order to gain the advantage? 7. Should you report students who cheat? 8. Under what conditions, if any, s cheating justified? Visit the DAIRY BAR Try Our Banana Splits The Speoialty of the House For Party Ice Cream Dial 3-4391 400 Summit Ave. -- James Essa 9. What do you consider the rea sons for cheating in high school? 10. What is your feeling about persons who will cheat on a school test or examination? Since the last two questions re quire answers of individual opin ions, it was impossible to record the responses on the graph. How ever, the general answer trend is published below: 9. To make better grades. To iiass with less work. Lack of confidence in your own w^ork. 10. They are unfair to their school mates. My opinion of them is very low. I have no respect for them whatsoever. An editorial in accordance with the survey findings is being pub lished in this issue.

Elsie Freeman Wins 'Whirligig' Contest THE OTHER SIDE of the DESK By Grace B. Illman EJditob’s Note: If High Life is to mirror life at Senior High, it must reflect ALL Ufe—both student and faculty. We present, therefore, another in a «eriea of articles hy members of the faculty. In the “Watch Whirligig Grow” word contest, sponsored by the art department, first place was taken by Elsie Freeman. Robert Wagner, Alex Panes and Mike Floyd took second, third and fourth places re spectively. Elsie Ruth, a senior, succeeded In writing 366 words from the phrase. She is a member of Mrs. Grace Faver’s advanced seventh period art class. Her favorite sub jects are art and English; she is also interested in outdoor sports. Bobby Wagner wrote 296 words. He is a junior, also of the advanced art class and is interested in art and music. Alex Panas turned in 190 words. He did his work without the aid of a dictionary. Mike Floyd turned in 77 words. The contest drew in a summary of odd words. Some of them were aorta, aril, and lictor. This is Hallowe’en week. Hallo we’en is a time for masks. Masks mean false faces. We read in our daily paper that a new craze—the wearing of false faces hy persons who otherwise seem normal, has struck certain parts of the country. Maybe you saw some of the pictures in recent maga zines. Drug stores and nov elty shops in these areas, it seems, are doing a thriv ing busings of selling rubber masks that will transform the v/earer into a Mortimer Snerd, a Mephistopheles or a John L. Lewis. According to one report there is one hole-in-the- wall shop in New York City that sells more than a hundred of these every day. The purchasers are de scribed as young and old, business men, well-dressed women and all sorts of people. As we said, this week we cele brated Hallowe’en, and the wearing of a false face, for one night at least, was not out of place. But wouldn’t it be nice if we could buy a false face that forever would change us into the honor roll stu dent or a siKx^essful citizen or an energetic person. How much easier that would he than to reach those goals the way we all have to—by hard work. There are some people who are still looking for the shop that sells the mask labeled “success,” “knowl edge,” “prestige,” ' “importance.” Unfortunately we all know a few people who have melted down a combination of bluffing, loudness, corner-cutting and some other mate rials like that and have moulded themselves what they consider satisfactory masks—really it’s more of a smoke screen, though. To see the otherside of the pic ture, there are people around us who have learned that we can’t go out and buy a mask that will cover our faces. These people have found out what the furniture makers learned a long time ago—that the wood under a table top has to be firm and even, before a fine veneer can be applied and polished to a smooth finish. We know that all of us can’t excel at the same things. Some people can draw a picture, others can’t draw but they can read the language of mathematics or are skilled at other languages; some of us can combine school work and work in a business world and do both jobs skillfully while real learn ing comes much more slowly for others. One thing we do know—^the per son who knows himself—knows where he is going—and has some idea of how to get there, isn’t in the market for a false face; be it goblin, straight-A-student-in-history, or fastest-typist-in-7th-period. He or she, old or young has some thing better than a mask—a real face turned to whatever lies ahead.
