J A V ME A SE,Y0D ON MAkE JO-S-f T BOMPS Lamentation Oh, ye shorthand examination! You fill me full of consternation, And in my deepest concentration, Outward rolls the perspiration. I fully sense the situation, , - It's one of utter complication, And what I need is contemplation, Strict review, deliberation. Although it fills me with temptation, 1 dare not try cooperation, To get a little information, Lest Charter spy my conversation: Those rules are an abomination, Far worse than Rapid Calculation, I might have known procrastination Would teach me coordination, Nor take me to that lofty station Of UnderhiU's Advanced Dictation. Oh what a terrible sensation After such dread anticipiation, y I know I'll need rejuvenation And artificial respiration. Alas, my noble aspiration, Once at so high an elevation, Sinks down to base degeneration Because I lost determination. Oh, where can I find inspiration? I will receive no compensation, No one will render consolation Nor even learn an occupation, If I fall short of graduation, But study is my one salvation, Oh, ye shorthand examination! Preparations for Peace When the fight begins within himself, A man's worth something. Browning. "Treason!" they all cried, but Patrick Henry heeded not their violent mockery. It was May, 1775, at the First Continental Con-gress meeting, and his proposal to organize a militia for the defense of the colonies against .England had been rejected. In a alm, but firm manner he gave voice to words that started flames in the hearts of many men. "Is life so dear," he asked, "or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God ! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty or give me death." Have you found, peace so sweet or life so dear that you would be unwilling to fight for the preservation of personal liberty? The course you should take to safeguard these rights and privileges is long and difficult. It means studying mathematics, sciences, me-chanics, and many other subjects while nature in its summer dress attempts to overcome your resistance. It's War Time, and every minute must be ' spent wisely in the classroom. Tomorrow you may be wearing a uniform. Your physical strength and your pledged patriotism will not be enough to win the War. There's something else that must go with it an education. SHAG Tells SAM Have you noticed Guyman's skinned nose she blamed it on the tennis racquet, but don't believe everything you hear. It was a rac-quet all right. ... Want a remedy for going steady ? Try fighting all the time like Gladys and Jimmy. ... No, that wasn't an earthquake going up the street just Lois Noorda and her new suit . . . . . Why do they call a certain South high gal Stinky? . . . By the way, this smells did you hear about Sherma's big beef last night ? I never sausage a fight. Garth gave her a hot foot. Ummm roast Lamb. ... Empey has been spendin' a heap of time in Provo lately. Wonder what her name is? ... . Dance Drama was a success!!! We hear some far-sight- ed fans on the front row brought binoculars. They made money by renting them out for Figgat's act. ... If you want a big laugh, watch Virginia Hammond attempt to play-tenni-s. ...

Tandy at the Rainbow every night with a new girl and a new haircut. . . . Swish (Whistle) There goes Mel-ro- y and Ridges. (She must have had a quarrel with Adamson). . . . Woolf Gulbranson and his steady from Rowland Hall Lookie whut I see: Bemls and her new feller going swimming-ou- t to the beach (ain't it kinda cold?) ... Rosamond's new jew-elry Wally Cooper likes it, too.-- . . . Hunky and Mary playing badminon every second they can spare, ever since Hunky won a medal in that game. Local Romances: See SHAG Office for details. Why doesn't Thelma Urli give that "over friendly" usher a break by telling him her new phone number is Wonder what causes that consistent dreamy look in Mr. Victor's eyes perhaps he's longing for a Shangri La Francis Cowley is monopolizing tennis-R-oss Bergener is monopolizing Francis. . . . Mr. Williams is in a dither look what priorities are doing to men's suits. ... Didn't know Emerson Cannon read Shakespeare that "line" of his is saturated with "Taming of the Shrew. . . . Wonder who Virginia Elkins meant when she said: "The only thing he uses his head for is to keep his ears apart Betty Gilbert is "carrying the torch for Jim" who's in the Service. . . . Miss McCallum makes self-conscio- us stu-dents blush by speaking to them about deli- - cate subjects with her eyes. . . . What girl was DeLin Potter with that Saturday night at one o'clock? ... Wonder why Dave Cooper . . . Censored. . . "I sat there in the shadows of the log cabin listening to an old man's mutterings about a world that was gone. Iwas amazed by his paradoxical day-dream- s, wondering whether there was any actuality in his words. Phrases here and there were caught in a large web, forming a weird tale. A glow from the dimply-li- t lamp played with his sil,ver-whit- e hair, and his eyes were bright and large as he talked about one thing, then another Dip your pen in blue and write that editorial, that humerous story, and that bit of poetry. Then obtain the information necessary to pub-lish your story in the South Scribblers' Magazine from Miss Gagian, sponsor of the club. Our Cafeteria Problem Two months ago our House of Delegates took the first step toward removing from the cafeteria all resemblance to disorder and dis-cord. The formation of a Host and Hos-tess club seemed a logical and practical meth-od to do away with the untidyness which was' present during the lunch periods. Now, stu-dents are beginning to wonder, because there is slight difference in the appearance of the cafeteria. Actual hosts and hostesses have turned their best efforts toward alleviating the con- - ditions which have characterized the lunch- -' room. Intelligently conducted meetings, good leadership, and capable hosts and hostesses have tended to make a strong organization. , Evidently, then, the cog which has 'gummed up' the success of the venture has been the students themselves, who have failed to give that extra boost which would send the Host and Hostess club over the top with flying colors. Abandoned lunch sacks are carelessly thrown near, but not in containers. Messy tables, broken bottles, and all other materials aiding congestion could be cleared up by stu-dent cooperation. Slackers are few at South, Cubs ! Here is one way to prove it. This Will Only Lead to Bloodshed Boys are strange animals. That is the four-lettere- d sentence ex-planation of this queer issue. Boys indulging in journalism are espe-cially odd. As a matter of fact, we may narrow the field down to boys wro work (?) on the Scribe as being exceptionally peculiar. In the first place, there are only seven of the male specie on this tabloid. It takes at least ten staff members to publish an edition. (Counting dishwashers, trouble runners, window cleaners, principal interviewers, etc.) Six and one make seven. At least three editors short. Solution the obvious one girls. This is the Boys' Issue. As "gentlewomen of the press we be-stow a hearty handshake and congratulations. With our absolutely necessary help, it's a good issue. (Paid adv.) "The Women." Little SAM Complains (Note to reader about author.) He thought he was a poet. This little guy. from SAM. And when Miss SHAG began this poem, He took it "on the lam." ' We're tired of standing on the bus While some girl takes our seat, We hate their giggling, crazy ways And their shoes with open feet. Whenever they go to a spooky show They raise the roof with a scream, And when Errol Flynn is about to die They tearfully sigh, "How mean." They crave for your attention But when it's got, they sigh, "I don't know what you're looking at?" (Which isa blank-blan- k lie.) (Censored.) Their seams are continually crooked, And they always have a run Sometimes I can't control myself, I wish't I had a gun. They wear a red and yaller dress Which sets you in a daze And what's that ghastly purple stuff? She smears upon her face. You can always hear them giggling, "Oh, Shirley, do you know?" That your Clinton Barker talks a lot f With that "Barbara" so-and-- so. Of course, this chant is all in fun So sings this guy from SAM The girls may swear and yell like But he doesn't give a (Censored.) Author Unknown (I hope.)

Moved by the tremendous help their collective contributions could give, a united student-bod- y did "come through with the goods." Herein lines an opportunity for South stu-dents to do their bit in this National Emer-gency. If an accurate account of the buying of Bonds and Stamps could be tabulated in the school office, provision could possibly be made to have the monthly amount-announce- in the three local newspapers. This act would serve as a challenge to East and West, and would obviously tend to raise all student purchases of Stamps and Bonds. |
