The llrst thing freshmen should be told Dellnltely ts: gold! Budget time as For It they don't, they soon will find Homework robs them of peace ot mind.

They learn to write essays In English, Eating lunch that resembles biol ogy crayfish.

I t they .survive these and per haps math too, They become sophomores to learn new Sto r ies about ancient. myths; and spea k With no hesita.Uon, without seemIng meek.

Sophomores st ud y math and Wo rl d History

And learn of Rome In Caesar's glory, While struggling with physics. Debate Tournaments provide trips out-o f -state.

The sophomo r e gi r ls now attend games with letters, And work to add chevrons to their sweaters.

Having conque r ed tho first two yean, They're j unior s with term p aper f ears.

Westside Council Requires Stickers

Don' t do this , don't do t hat- rules ore made to be bro ken, or so the old saying goes, but s hould they be made and t hen igno red?

Don't I Don't I Don't I

According to the administration , Wests ide stud e nts are extremely good about obeying rules. Conduct in classes and halls is e xcellenti much better than many schools, but th e re are a few exceptions

Champ! Chomp! Chomp! Looking a round school you will see many violoters of the gum chewing rule-some ore teachers Not only do people f o rget them selves and look r idiculous whi le chewing but some ore discourteous and stick their gum on t h e desks. This only causes harder work for the janitors

Puff! Puff! Puff! Although not quite as numerous as the gum chewers, the number of stud e nt s who smoke on school grounds is increasing Corrying tobacco or smoking is supposed to b e re stricted at all times on th e school grounds

Also, a ll boys ore required to wea r belts with their s lacks or jeans but as you leave school today look and see how ma n y actually ore Some boys, however, are wearing the type of slacks that are made to be worn without a belt

When som e t eachers were aske d if they enforce the gum che wing rule, th e y said , " Not if it doesn ' t become obnoxious." Is this the correct attitude if it is a s chool rule not to chew gum?

T he f irs t respons ib ility b e longs t o t h e s tu dents to obey the rules. T he faculty and adm inistration ore not h ere to "police" us, but what if the rule s are not obeyed?

Perhaps the rules in the handbook s hou ld be re -examined Some may be outdated. After rules ore established, it is up t o the faculty and administration to see that they ore enforcedif they ore n ot, they shoul d be abolished!
