After a few years of being reprimanded, you had it down pat and all the neighbors commented on your wonderful manners. What happened to the phrases we had drummed into us? Did they get worn out and die, or did they get all used up? I think they’re just hiding behind our false shields of maturity, The use of manners can make life much more pleasant. When a family member gets bent out of shape because she had to make dinner, a sincere Brent ring now wears his school proudly. Building Bridges On January 14 the First Annual Bridge Building and Breaking Contest was held in the gym. All of the participants were responsible for building a bridge of specified dimensions on their own time some time during the last two months. The participants in the contest were: Scott Lundell, Keith Whitaker, Kathy Kap, Scott Amos, Steve Hart, Darwin Ford, Grant Watts, Mare Nicholas, Robin Covert, Marilyn Shoemaker, Amy White, and Rick Gailey. Scott Amos and Robin Covert both tied for first place, and Marilyn Shoemaker took the other award. All participants received 50 cents back for just building their bridge. Nobody likes to be ordered around by another person unless he’s so insecure that he isn’t happy unless he’s doing something for someone else. Sometimes, however, it is necessary to ask a favor of another person. When you have to ask a favor, do just that . . . ASK! You'll get a much quicker and more cheerful response if you ‘ask pleasantly, using the magic word “please.” Now, I agree that some rules of etiquette are a little farfetched, but common courtesy is never ridiculous. Please, make the magic words a regular part of your vocabulary. People will _ like and respect you more if you do. It’s just one more way to put a little love and cheer back into the world. | ‘Survival Course For Failing Scots. By JOE BEHUNIN S.T.M.I, (Student Trying to Make It) was organized during the second term with the intent of helping students to “make it” through high school. With the support of Al Kap, Mrs. Parker, Lee Shirley and a lot of other good people, the goal will hopefully be fulfilled. The reason for the organizing of this committee was to help approximately 400 students who have failed two or more classes. The goal of the organization is to help the student to graduate if he really has that desire. The only requirement a student has to meet before he can become a member is to have the desire to “make it.” This group meets once a week in the Media Center, and they have come up with a new system that involves both student and teacher participation. The new system which is being worked out is that a student will agree to do so much work and will attend a certain number of days for a grade that is at least passing. Although it is still in the experimental stage, if it proves beneficial, it will probably be continued next year. If you don't have a crippled child . . . BABY: Newlywet. BAND-AID: Scratch pad.
