Routh Volume XXXVI Feb. 28, 1958 No. 8 N umer ous Cheating Metho ds Creating N eei For Action On Part Of CHS Student Bod During the past few months it has become evident that Senior High School is host to a wave of cheaters who seem to think that they’ll be able to pass through life always us ing the other fellow as a crutch. We fully realize that it would be a waste of time and space to preach to these people the principles in volved in dishonesty, because for the most part they’ve been taught that such an act is wrong. Cheating, they know, hinders rather than helps. Yet they continue to resort to such a practice. Perhaps by presenting some of the more used methods of getting a grade dishonestly, those of the stu dent body who are opposed to such tactics can counteract the current 1 Ben L. Smith, superintendent of Greens boro schools, announced January 21 his retirement from the post he has filled so faithfully and well for 22 years. The resig nation take effect June 30. Phillip R. Wea ver, assistant superintendent and director of instruction for city schools since 1951, has been named as the new superintendent. Mr. Smith can well Bjook back through the 'iyears of his tenure with pride of accomplish ment, for he has had a ’part in a tremendous growth, both in physi- ^cal plants add academic Iplanning. During his ■years he has seen aU |the the city schools, the third largest system in the state, fully accredited. He has had a part in building more school faciUties than any other super intendent in the state. He said, shortly after announcing plans to retire, “I like to think that in some way I’ve been able to make a contribution to public education and the schools of North Carolina.” Those who are acquainted with his rec ord are quite sure hej* has tht right to sof think. And they also;’ are firmly convinced! that the new superin-; _• tendent will carry on' the work in a similarj, ambitious, energeticl manner. Mr. Weaver! takes over his new post] at a time of crisis, when! many problems beset the school system. He has, however, not only his own particular talents but the good wishes of everyone concerned. Farewell, Ben Smith! Hail, Phil Weaver! rage. A simple little cheat sheet, it seems, is the most common method now existing. Advocates of this teU’ us that it is very simple to use. They just slip it up their sleeve, pin it un. derneath their skirt or coat, put it in their shoe, or merely place it on the floor near their desks. There are, however, those who have developed more ingenious and less noticeable methods. Comment ed one senior, “I wonder how far some people I know would go if they ever stopped to think of all the time they could save by using their brains in getting it honestly for themselves, rather than plotting dis honest ways of how to get out of it.” These energetic players in the game of cheating scribble answers on Kleenex tissue, insert cheat sheets in the eraser caps of pencils, and even write on the soles of their shoes. Some use “padding” under a test paper. Naturally “aids” imprint, ed on the “padding” are visible through the top sheet... All these methods are supposedly rarely de tectable and usually foolproof. Such is the situation as it present ly exists. We feel that it’s now left Cheating wiU perhaps fade somewhat from the picture at GHS if methods used are brought to public light. In the four car toons contributed by HIGH LIFE artist Charlie Mills common prac tices are Illustrated. Beginning at the top and moving downward, a person is shown using Kneenex revealing answers; another de picts the use of glasses case. Next is the familiar “Cheat Sheet,” concealed up the sleeve; last shows answers recorded on the soles of shoes Hall Tales By Betty Rose he usually dances on their toes. A boy’s a stupid thing; his shirtail’s never in. With goosegrease in his hair, he wears a stupid grin. He flirts with every girl he sees and vows that he is true, And when another boy’s around, he pays no heed to you. He calls you up at the last minute to ask you for a date; His car breaks down as you come home; you don’t get back till late. He walks you to the door and sees you’re rather mad; He looks you closely in the eye and . . . hmmm . .. maybe he isn’t so bad. CaU it “snow” music instead of slow music. You’re lost if you’re a triangle . . . i.e., a square with something missing Kaye Remmey and Ann Gresham went for a tramp in the woods, but he got away. Around the curb, lickety split. . . beau tiful car, wasn’t it? Conceit ... a form of “I” strain. “The lights are turned off at ten o’clock,” said Evelyn Byrd’s father. “That’s okay,” said Dave Garrison, “we won’t be reading.” Hey, Uncle Sam, come sound your beep; The Red’s in the heavens with little Sputnik.

It’s no compliment to a boy whom the gals dub a “ballet dancer” ... it means Ovo de Cadillac” is the Portuguese slang, to describe Httle automobiles . . . ovo” if you don’t know means egg. COUNCIL CORNER “senior shelf” if all the boys who used to take her out are away in college. A great new squelch line: When I want your remarks. I’ll rattle your cage. Sandra Holdemess Your Student Council is now in the process of working on plans for an Hon or Code Day. Laura Pearce is the chair man with Pat Ellis and Juc^y Howell as her assistants. The date has been set for March 11. Dr. Charles Bowles, pastor of the West Market Street Methodist Church, and Coach Glenn will be the main speakers for the assembly program. Panel discussions will be conducted by students following the assembly. The Student Council would like to ask each person who buys just milk, cookies, sandwiches, or ice cream to please pur chase these things at the side counter. This will enable the two main lunch lines to go more quickly, avoiding so much congestion. Our congratulations go to the band and choir who 'Thursday, January 13 gave a wonderful musical performance for the public. The barber looked at the guy’s sleek hair and asked if he wanted a haircut or an oil change.

Her clothes are so designed that she’s always seen in the best places. There isn;t much to talk about at some partes until after one or two couples One last suggestion: Next time you write a “hot letter” singe the one comer for effect Sometimes, Rosebud to those of the student body oppose such dishonest measuresl prove that the pre-stated methm are indeed not foolproof. How n this be done? Interested students offer the lowing suggested counter-attaJh Sometimes looking rather hard) a person vviU achieve the desit# effct. Most of these people have conscience, and when they real!) that someone else is aware of the! questionable action, they sheepisi ly resort to reform. Telling a persn exactly how you feel about this niai ter of cheating may help. No persn likes to be classed as a freeloadi and that’s certainly what a cheati is. . A Student Council officer mei tioned the upcoming Honor Coii Day. When your panel comes point number one of the honor codi “As a student of Senior High Schoo I will strive to be honorable in dee and honest in dealings,” state you view's. Finish by saying that a cop of this Code hangs in every clas room; it should serve as a remind! of what’s expected of a GHS’er. This situation may seem to be little importance to you and th counter attacks may have the rin suggestive of a “goody-goody.” Jui remember, however, that at collej cheating is a shipping offense. Ei member too . . . It’s written, “The shaft not steal” and cheating certainly taking that which doesn belong to you. Mind Over Matter... Or Beginning Typing Mind over matter, man vs. ma chine—call it what you will; I call it typing. If you are slightly conceited, proud,, vain, glorious or know someone who is, I know just the thing to take you or your pal down a peg or three or four: a typewriter! I mean, actually, a person gets to feel so superior while typing his A B C’s, or such sentences as “The Junior was jeolous of the jolly jokes of the jester,” or an exercise like “sliishy slope so slip slime sloppery.” However, if one is not the intel lectual type, mayhap the baseness of it all will not daunt him. This does not mean he’s safe though; many a brute boy and horsy gal has succumbed after getting a little finger stuck between the keys. Some students who are, in truth, excellent typists fail out for other reasons. One discovered after typ ing a test copy of a letter that he had his carbon in backwards and therefore had not made the re quired duplicates. You ought to be ahle to do two things before you register for typing: play the piano and palm a basketball. It’s astonishing the number of students expelled each year by study hall teachers for drumming on their desk tops or supposedly wasting their study period when they/were, in reality, only practiciig key reaches. Many others have been sent to psycholo gists as a result of having prac ticed their finger exercises in pub lic.
