Whatever’s done can’t be un¬ done. But may the New Year, just begun, contrive to conjure back each one of your best res¬ olutions. The Fine Art of Taking A Semester Exam. Arise early in the morning of your exam (if you aren’t al¬ ready up cramming for the exam) dash madly to the door, breathe deeply 12 gulps fresh air, (be careful if its rain¬ ing you might drown.) Then you take 15 laps around the ihouse ending at the ;door. For breakfast eat and lettuce so that your will be in good condition to read the person’s paper next to you. Dress in dark colors to look as if you are in mourning. This ere- ates a very good effect on your teacher. Oh My Goodness, its time for the first exam! Brace yourself Old Pal | This happens in the best of families (exams of course.) Run quickly to the nearest apple tree and pick a big apple arriving at the Torture Chamber, (Oh I mean class.) Speak to the teacher and tell her how nice she looks. Smile at all the class to get on the good side of them; then pass ! ;quite "" noisily ...... TJ to “ZET the nearest va- cant „ , chair. , _ . _ Draw forth , ,, your pencil and jerk out a sheet of paper! Place the pencil in your hand if you can hold It while shaking so badly. If you can’t j hold it remove the left shoe and sock and place the pencil be- tween your two biggest toes. At intervals during the test dash madly to the water foun- tain and apply cold water to your temples using a handker- chief. By the time the test is over your head should be thoroughly water soaked. If you don’t pass this test using the method given above something ts definitely wrong with the person sitting next to you! THOUGHTS TO REMEMBER j “Lost, yesterday, somewhere between sunrise and sunset, two golden minutes, each set with sixty golden seconds. No reward offered for they are gone for- ever.” | The greatest mistake you can make in life is continually fear- ing 3 0 U will make one. The man who is too big for the little job eventually finds himself too little for the big job. Gossip always seems to travel faster over the sour grape vines. Life is what man makes of it, no matter of what it is What this country needs is more free speech worth listen¬ ing to. It isn’t so much what a wo¬ man says that hurts; Its the number of times she says it. It may not be a good idea to count your chickens before they are hatched, but it sure is a lot of fun. What the Doctor didn't Know A local small fry had been vaccinated, and after the oper¬ ation the dbetor prepared to bandage the sore arm, but the litt le boy objected. “Put it on the other, Doctor.” “Why no,” said the physician. I want to put the bandage on your sore arm so the boys at school won’t hit it. “Put it on the other arm. Doc.” reiterated the small boy. “You don’t know the boys at our school.” In 1700 it took 19 people work- ing in the soil to produce food for 20 so one could go to town. Now. 1*2 to 2 can produce en- ough for 10 . The city is a pro¬ duct of the agriculture ma- i chines. And if a tree be cut or burned, earth, or nature is the work of grow others in its stead.—“He heweth him down cedars, and taketh the cypress and the oak, which he strengthened for himself among the trees of the forest; he planted an ash, and the rain doth nourish it.” — Isaiah 44:4, New England News By Mary Patterson and Martha June Derryberry It seems that everyone around here had a nice New Year.
