Show Students Make Resolutions; Teachers Ask For Gifts Like all good people the world around, Southerners are going to try to turn over a new leaf. If they work hard enough at it, they may get into February before giving up their "betterment methods." A few of the student body have already al-ready formed their promises for the new year. Stan Fivas says that next year he will never be late to school. (Oh?) Darlene Hall has resolved to try to be less stupid in Miss Roger's sixth period English class. (Is she kidding?) Paul Orton has resolved that no little junior high school secretary will break his heart again. Irvingites didn't appreciate him, says Don Glaittli, so he has promised prom-ised to give the Southern belles a chance. (Generous, isn't he?) Margene Poulson promises to quit flirting with that "wonderful physiology teacher." (She isn't alone in that.) Bill Grant has vowed to be nicer to the .girl next door, just to cement ce-ment friendly relationships, of course. Don't rush, girls, but Ed Vetter says he'll give up his collection of Frank Sinatra's photographs. Bill Livingston promises that he will flash that purty, purty smile and make all the girls' hearts beat faster. (Sigh.) No one really believes that kids will keep their vows, but everyone please give them moral support. The teachers are also concious of the holidays, sometimes it seems even more so than the students. They want to ask Santa for presents, pres-ents, but think they're too old to sit on his lap and whisper in his ear, so Scribe decided to help them out. Here, dear Santa, are their requests. Miss Rogers is dreaming of a captain tied up in blue ribbons. Jeepers, what a gift! A trip through Latin America by automobile is one of the most fervent desires of Mr. Cottrell. He would like to journey to Argentina Argen-tina to visit the editor of La Prensa. He hopes "Santa Claus will visit all the nice little boys and girls of South." According to Miss Kaplan, phy- siology teacher, the most wonderful wonder-ful gift Santa can bring is "a class with people who are tranquil and peaceful, instead of dynamic, vociferous, vo-ciferous, jittering bodies of protoplasm." |
