Market St. 9 Ways To Kill Time During Christmas O Learned Woe By Joan McNairy Flash! Elephants are no more! With this one last joke, the ele phants and all of their jokes have been canned. What is red and white on the outside and gray on the inside? Tee! Hee! A can of cream of elephant soup! After all of our elephants have been creamed, a new star has en tered the jokelight, the grape! What is purple and lights up? Chuckle! Chuckle! A neon grape! What is purple and stomps out forestfires? Yuk! Yuk! Smokey, the fire preventing grape! The grapes are coming! The grapes are coming! How do you tell if there are a bunch of grapes in the bathtub with you? Answer: Taste some of the water and see if it tastes any thing like grape juice. A grape was overheard telling this funny: What do you have after a forest fire? Answer: Crispy Critters! A1 Richbourg was overheard telling this one; “How do you drive a baby bug gy? “Tickle his feet!” “Jerry, what do you know about French syntax?” “Gosh, I didn’t know they had to pay for their fun.” With Christmas vacation just a few short periods away, students are beginning to wonder just what they will do to keep themselves busy for such a long period of leisure time. High Life, keenly aware of all current facts, situa tions, data, developments and pert inent information, realizes that there are those people who can’t think of anything for themselves, so we have prepared to list of oc- Miscellaneous Fund Pros And Cons Given Bill Her, president of the Inter act Club, stated, “Our club would be happy to donate money to this fund, and I’m sure other clubs will agree with me.” Most important of all is the way the students feel about this. Many students were asked how they felt about this fund. Every person asked was in favor of it. Sophomore Pat Wiley expressed her opinion by saying, “I think that this fund sounds like a good idea. It would be nice to be able to see more films and hear speak ers during class.” “We only had one speaker last year when I was a sophomore. All the kids enjoyed him and wanted to hear more. None of us realized that these speakers came at our teacher’s expense. If we had known, we would have sug gested something like this fund before,” announced Robert Voight, junior. Adults were also asked to ex press their opinion concerning this fund. The adults questioned were those who had graduated from GHS and now have children at tending here. Mrs. Tom Shore stated, “I wish we had had an opportunity to hear Linda Filipski ran two red lights and one “yield right of way” sign two weeks and two days ago. The electric heat pump provides year-’round comfort! The flameless electric heat pump keeps you cozy warm In winter and comfortably cool in summer . . . providing your home with a delightful climate every day of the year. DUKE POWER cupations which we feel are intel lectually stimulating, and will help them pass the time. 1.) See how far you can drive your parents and friends by mak ing up insipid jokes and puns, elephant, grape, or otherwise. For instance: “What is the definition of a raisin?” Answer: “a grape yith leporsey.” Or “What did the turkey wing say after he was left overs for the third straight meal?” Answer: “Curses! Foiled again!” This activity will keep your men tal faculties in good working order while you are away from the usual intellectual influences of your teachers. Teachers and faculty members at GHS have suggested that a miscellaneous fund be established to provide films and speakers for their classes. Every film that a teacher shows to her classes must pe paid for with her own money, and every speaker must come at her expense. 2) Mass produce paper airplanes and then invite all of your friends to see a hockey game with you. This will provide hours and hours of fun and entertainment for you. Mrs. Smith, W o r Id History teacher at GHS, suggested, “If each service club would contrib ute a small amount of their earn ings each month to a miscellane ous fund, there would soon be enough money to rent the films needed to show to the classes.” 3.) Obtain sheet music from some of the more popular rock and roll tunes and read them slowly and formally at the dinner table or other family gatherings. Making these readings laily will guarantee a rollicking meal time at your house until someone chokes to death. 4) Play with your younger brothers’ and sisters’ Christmas toys. These things get better all the time, and it’s amazing what you can do with them. This year they’re putting out Buddhist Monk dolls that actually set themselves on fire when you wind them up. 5) Read a book. 6) Get a job, 7) Block off the portion of the street in front of your house and throw a gigantic street dance on New Year’s Eve. Think of all the money you can save. Music can be provided by car radios, and everyone will be too cold for re freshments. 8) Spend rainy days downtown in the department stores teasing your friends who are trying to sell stuff. 9) Plan your strategy for April Fool’s Day. You know it’s never too early to plan for things, espec ially something as important as April Fool’s Day. By JOAN McNAIRY As a sixth grade student I was given one IQ test and one Teach er’s recommendation to qualify for one of North Carolina’s first ac celerated education programs. Thirty student were swooped upon by Education’s Bird of Prey, commonly called the city school board, and neatly snatched from our nests only to be slapped in a new school with a strange teacher (strange, with all it’s connota tions, suits her perfectly). Oh, what a glorious experience this new class was to be! No one could know how well educated we became—we knew all about every thing! After all, who wouldn’t be a true sage after one week of geometry, one week of physics, one week of chemistry, one week of biology, one week of algebra, one week of trigonometry, a week of French. As one can easily see we soon become weak in everything!) The day for which the class especially yearned was the week ly visit of the psychologist and psychiatrist. I loved to see them come because they always brought such delightful tests for us. Al though none of the class has heard results of any of these tests, we were told that they helped us enormously. I personally think those tests were worthless be cause they never answered my most urgent question. On the back of each test there was always a place to confess heartbreaking problems and ask for help, but of course thig would be kept in strict est confidence. I bet I asked 20 times how I could get Richard to love me, but I never got any help from either the tests or the couch fiends. Richard still doesn’t love me! Following that year of fun and games with snatches of knowl edge inserted occasionally, the real treat of education’s halloween was to be ours. In order to allow us to get an entire semester ahead of our menial friends, we were al lowed to start algebra in the eighth grade. Many were the ben efits to be reaped ... we might graduate from high school a se mester early, and also gloat over our afore mentioned friends as they struggled with math we had supposedly whipped through se mester earlier. There is a draw- back to this, ever so slight as It may be; no accredited four year college of high academic rating will accept eighth grade work, so those of our class had to take an extra semester of advanced math to compensate. After completing the confused acceleration of Jr. High, we pro gressed to the high school level and befuddled acceleration. Here quality education was altered to quantity education; that is to say, regular classes cover the same material in the same time as do accelerated classes, but accelerat ed classes do five times as much homework. This five times rule may become exceedingly monot onous if there are only a certain number of things to study. Now the time has come when members of our class are waver ing about colleges for next year. We’ll go our separate ways in dif ferent schools with varied aims, but we still have one thought in common: we’re all hoping for good education instead of quality edu cation.” In 1929 Russia blacklisted Sher lock Holmes for his “disgraceful occultism and spiritualism.” In 1931 China banned ALICE IN WONDERLAND on the ground that “animals should not use hu man language” anl that it was “disastrous to put animals and hu man beings on the same level,” Once upon a time there was a one fingered pick pocket who could only steal Life Savers. 221 South Elm Since 1930 ‘The Fashion House’ For the Styles You See Illustrated In Your Favorite Fashion Magazines speaker when we were at GHS. I think this fund will benefit all the students and give them a goal to strive for.” The majority of the people agreed that this fund would be both useful and educational to all students at GHS and help to set an example for other schools to follow.
