THE8B DAYS OF MEMORIZING
By Mary Alice Hardin
Every year there comes a time In the
life of a high school student when the
thought of poetry and memorizing
reigns supreme. It so happens that this
year three classes, sophomore, junior
and senior, have that blessing (?) at
the same time.
doing through the halls you may
hear mixed quotations as these, “Tell
me not in mournful numbers.—Friends,
Romans, countrymen—man’s first dis
obedience and the fruit of that forbid
den tree—So live, that when thy sum
mons comes to join that—Sing. Heav
enly Muse, that on the secret top—
You are my true and honorable wife,
as dear to me as the ruddy drops—”
A visitor coming into our great halls
of learning might mistake them for the
chambers of a lunatic asylum. But who
knows, there might spring forth from
our midst a great poet, orator, or play
wright. But at this particular time I
see no one who especially relishes be
ing a Bryant, a Milton, or a Shake
speare. Most students progress in this
manner.
When the teacher assigns the pas
sage, the students fail to mark them
or else mark the wrong ones. The pas

AT THE TIMES OFFICE
sages are assigned well In advance,
but no one takes them seriously.
What’s the use of doing all that when
you have plenty "of time? At the last
minute It always dawns that the teach
er really means business, and the mem
ory work is due day after to-morrow.
Now, of course, all the rest of the les
sons go to the “dogs" while every pos
sible moment Is used to try to get all
those lines without a mlxup. In Prof.
Bob Huggins’ recently published thesis
on "How to Memorize," he explained
how to use the read-and-reread method;
but to use this method, it Is necessary
to start well In advance of the stated
time for recitation. In this case it Is
Impossible. Not all of the students use
any set method, but most use the line
by-line and word-by-word method.
(Not counting minor words such as
prepositions and conjunctions).
Of course, time passes too rapidly,
and all a student can do is hope he
won’t be called on first. Then the time
comes when he gets weak in the knees
and hot under the collar. He thinks.
“Why does a teacher have to know
who wrote that anyhow? How could
you help it If you said Longfellow wrote
“The Raven?” How could you help It
if you started with the “Psalm of Life"
and ended with “The Marshes of
Glynn."
Ah, at last the suffering student can
sit down. He Is not sure he has fin
ished all the selections, but he hopes
so. Was there ever a room so stuffy?
Why is everybody staring? Is there
a frown on the teacher's face?
These are only a few of the ques
tions he will ask himself when at last
the ordeal is over, and he has prompt
ly forgotten all the memorizing he has
ever done.
(Best unsolicited).

WALKING AND TALKING
Anonymous
I wish I could have known what you
said before;
If I did, I'd have asked you to say
some more.
You know there’s something more to
saying.
Than gabbing or just haying.
You can say the nicest things;
I wish you could know all the joy It
brings.
Rut you can say a lot better than I
can;
Sometimes—like yesterday—I ran.
I'd like to tell you how much I like
you
Rut I guess I’ll never be able to.
All you have to do is to keep on
talking;
And as long as you do, I’ll keep on
walking.
(It Is counter to our ancient an!
archaic principle to promulgate poetry
basically amorous, but an exception is
in order for our forlorn poet who ex
presses his integral desire in the above
polymetrlc couplets. More power to
you. Anonymous).

BYLVA WINS OVER BREVARD
By Thelma Daniels

Brevard court Friday night. The girls’

played an exceptionally good game.
How To Open A
CHECKING ACCOUNT
The procedure of opening a checking account here is as simple
as it Is short.
Bring in the money you want to open the account with:
make yourself known to an officer—he will help you fill out
a signature form, for your own protection and the bank s
records. Then, you make out a deposit slip showing the amount
of money you are depositing.
You will receive both a check book and a pass book. That
completes the transaction. If your initial deposit is made in
cash, you can begin drawing against It whenever you wish. A
check on another bank, however, takes a short time to clear.
When you come in, any of our officers will be glad to assist
you and inform you of the regulations concerning checking
accounts.

MY nAT
By Elinor Chamberlain
As I was walking up the street
With nothing else to do.
The strong March wind took off my hat.
And over the fence it flew,
I climbed the fence and saw my hat
A flying down a hill.
I followed as swiftly as I could
With many a jouncing spili.
That hat and 1 wont on and on
'Twas such a merry chase.
At least it was for the hat, but I
Did not enjoy the race.
Finally into a field It went,
And there an old gray mare
Picked up my hat and swallowed it
And then began to rare.
She galloped 'round and pawed the
earth,
And had a running fit,
And to this day, alive 1 say
It was the hat that did it.

CONFUCIUS "SAY
By Bertie Orr and Paula Smothers
Confucius say, "Boy will like girl.”
Me not know, but if the great Con
fucius say, it must be so.
Confucius also say: "Girl who writes
notes to another girl's sweet-heart bet
ter watch out. Take a warning, Dia
lect.
Confucius say that boy can not like
two girls at same time, but Robert j
May has other ideas. He takes Mildred |
S. to the movies, while Christine M.,
wears his watch.
Confucius say, "If girl writes note to
boy, she better see that boy gets it."
Edna N„ remember.
Confucius say, “If girl talk too much
in history class, teacher change seat.”
Irene Doftis, is that you?
Confucius say. "If boy like girl, he
let her wear class ring.” Proof: Grace
Mull wearing Jack Holden's ring.
Confucius say, “If teacher draws
pictures on board, she better cover
pretty dress to protect it from chalk.”
Mrs. Wike takes his advice.
Confucius say. "Absence makes the
heart grow fonder.” Maybe this solves
the Jack Hilemon and “Kat" S. prob
lem.
Confucius say. "If girl dreams in
English class, she is thinking of some
boy.” M. A, Hardin, were you think
ing of P. Banks or Jim W.?
Confucius say, “There is something
In a name.” I wonder if that is why
two Doris W.'s like Bill F.
Confucius say, "If boy like girl, he
take her to basketball game.” Is that
why Wllda and Bob H., Alice and Bob
T. , and Juanita and David were there?
Confucius say, “If girl Is always talk
ing to boy in class, she must like him.”
How about it, Thelma B.?
Confucius say, “Have something
everyone likes." Does the thought of
the Junior-senior banquet give you a
thrill in the stomach?
Confucius certainly say the above.
He also say he not like love.
