Some people do. Some of us who are ordinarily well mannered become hoodlums at school. Are you a litter bug? We don’t strew pencils, books, and candy wrappers at home. We don’t do this because we like for our homes to look nice. Yet visit our locker rooms. Things varying from lip stick to old tennis shoes are lying around in casual heaps. Few of us talk back to our parents when they issue a direct-orderj we usually obey it. However, some of us have the idea that teachers never really mean what they say. We go against their wishes quite often. We also neglect our homework or our school chores. Most homework is very necessary if we expect to obtain the maximum from a course. Lunch room manners should be con- sidered. Don’t laugh and talk noisily. Remember not to interfere with grammar grade lines. Don’t be rude to newcomers or visitors. At home we especially welcome guests. Let’s try this policy at school also. Editor editorial Since the beginning of this school year there has been a great deal of con troversy over teachers and their teach ing methods. It is my belief that, while we may not agree with these methods, we can at least attempt to understand -them. Not all teachers teach alike (heaven forbid, we’d be bored stiffl); therefore, we have to adjust ourselves to each of them. It only stands to reason then, that by protesting and arguing incess antly, and by making nuisances of our selves, we are hurting no one other than ourselves. First, it is only human na ture (and s-urely teachers are human) to bear down harder and to be harder to please when people insist upon being aggravating. Haven't you heard students exclaim, "That teacher just picks on me all the time". The majority of times this so-called persecution is self- inflicted, Second, when students are spending all their time complaining, there isn’t any left in which to learn. And that is the reason we are in school— to learn, to grow, to expand. Now that we are in the second semester, even if we don’t make better grades, we can at least learn to be compatible and, if, you do hot entirely agree with certain ideas learn to be unbiased and to listen objectively to those ideas.
