middle and upper school students with the finish of exams everyone breath ed a sigh of relief now with the return of our marks everyone has given a groan of pain and once again the question is asked why do we have to write exams merely because this method has been used for many years in our educational system is no reason that it must still be used certain ly some good test of knowledge must be found but exams are not it from the student s point of view ln reading over papers many ridic ulous mistakes have been found which jn the tension of an exam were overlooked is this a true test of knowledge is it a good test of knowledge when students go to an exam literally sick with worry or need nerve pills to even be able to write the exam it certainty is not yet for lack of a better sys tem students endure this torture three or four times a year we re not asking to have our school days made a bed of roses far from this we realise we must work to pass our respective grades but we the

common courtesy keren scott there is no cost involved when it comes to gobd plain manners the little things people notice ab out you are mostly in the form of small courtesies i cannot stress this point enough adults mostly appreciate these details more than children at the end of a class when every one charges for the door and a teacher is standing waiting let her pass through this goes for our professor scholars as well age be fore beauty you might say anoth er thing when the crowd is racing for the locker room take pity on the poor teacher who is coming up the hall they also value tfieir hv es when themob is waiting outside the door at 1 00 o clock let the girls in first when coming in two or 3 at a time and a young man is among them he should open the door not she and she should go through first while walking down the street tniwxed company the boy always walks on the outside this is a must even when there are two girls and a boy he still is on the outside romeo is always brag ging about his gallantry give him a chance to prove it if a car co mes along and the group is be side a puddle guess who gets splashed not the juliet shes on the inside or should be other teenagers notice this more than ever and if the laddie is walk ing on the inside he is thought to be a real dumb nut ir a jair going steady is walk ing down 4hc street hand and hand the boj if his hands arcn t full should offer to carry his girl s books girts who carry the load when her friend has his free arm swinging in the breeze are pi tied bojs should know enough to offer their assistance but sor rowfulk enough most of them do not a lot of bos in bad taste be gin lo tell jokes among themselv es when in the presence of girls this is a very rude habit and should be overcome some jokes are funny others every thing has its place including these and the place js not in mi xed company another thing that irks me is when bojs spit on the street on the ice or any place for that mat ter spitting is one of the most ignorant habits and girls look down their noses at boys who do it ever since wc were in grade 1 public school teachers he nurse and others discouraged this for healthful reasons when boys get to high school they shbuld know better swearing is a common habit am ong both sexes it should not be i done by bos in front of girls and uce trsa or better still not at all ror the teenager whose tongue is constants slang he or she should he given a dix and told to start building a now vocab mostly for thur own lood swearing makes people think the person can t think of an thing else to sa so the use profamu er unbecoming to the person speaking the art of saying excuse mei if ou accidentally burp in class excuse me should be said when passing in front of one another when dismissing jourseh from the group or interrupting a con versation excuse me should be said but sound sincere don t just sound as if our passing the buck from force of habit dos and donts don t comb jour hair in public what do ou think mirrors were put in the locker rooms for dec oration ccrtainlj not never put lipstick on in public or pow dcr our face all these are scor ned b most people
