By these points and facts we can readily see that it is just a matter of opin ion, as to whether our new system of grading is fair or not. Yet, there are those who may be neutral in either case. And some may still be asking the same question, “Is our grading system fair?” So now we leave it up to you, the teachers, toe parents, and the public, to consider the ad vantages and disadvantages as well, of our new grading sys tem, and form your opinions of toe question, “IS OUR GRADING SYSTEM FAIR?” JOY V.

Several of the steadfast couples of 1956-57 have made a complete change term. What caused this??? Maybe it was toe enchanted sum mer nights of vacation time or the lovely full moons. Could it have been the Sputniks that caused these changes? Why not ask some of the persons who made the changes. Whom did W. F. change to, Y. H. or A. B. R. L. changed from D. H. to B. A., that’s plain to see. A. McG. changed from J. M. to G. D. B. P. changed from N .C. to D. H. then to G. M. B. T. made quite a change from I. T. to E. B. Then there are those who will be together til the Sputniks land on Jupiter. I am referring to those such as W. A. and L. A. (it’s time you two were engag ed), G. C. and C. H., I. G. and D. N., C. H. and E. T., H. H. and J. W. Confidentally to J. B. and J. J. (stop arguing so much and name toe day.) D. L. tries to play it cool but “Miss Nosey” knows its only J H. for her. The same goes for E. L. J. and R. L. H. (E. L. J., stop kidding yourself, its not C. W. H. for you.) S. S. and W. C. can look at each other so meaningfully, can’t they? E. S. could write his Eng lish outline if he and M. J. Y. weren’t so in love. These lone ducks that the full moons and Sputniks don t effect are really worring me. If they keep going at the rate they ^e, Miss Nosey won’t have anything to snoop around for. What about that L. H.? Why don’t you and T. R. try it again? He’s crazy for you. R, McG., W. S., J. T., V. M. M., N. C., R. M., R. G., E. H. (B. J. says, “You Send Me”), S. L., D. L., L. L., C. C., D. McG., T. B., (do you still love I. M.,) W. H., you all find yourselves a beau love or a girl friend and make some news for me. Until then, I remain the same anynonmous Miss Nosey. AU REVOIR AMIES.
