Lover Horn~

By Barbara Cobourn

If music is t he universal lan­guage, as it is said, then Bill Ben­n et t should , find friends in every ·country. This year's senior class vice-president maintains that music is, his one t r ue love. F irst cornet .player in the m arching band, Bill has been active in the organization all t hrough school. His p.laying of "Taps" should be remembered by all Salem football fans. '

Most outstanding events in his school car eer were t he t imes when t he SHS band won top honors at s ta t e contest his freshman and junior year s.

Listening to concert band music is a f avor ite past ime of Bill's, and his idea of a good time consist s of a jam session with some of the f ellows.

Student Council, Latin Club, Slide Rule Club and assisting in t he chemistr y lab are some of the other extra-curricular activities enjo'yed by said lad.

Commenting on the old Alma Mater, he cla ims to like the kids, t he t eachers and all of the ma th courses. H e offer s no compla ints, but agrees that the new sch ool is somewhat overdue.

Do you come under t he c ategory of be­ing a last-m inute Chr istm as shopper? If sio you will have compa ny.

T o begin with let's get clear on the nature of you r vice. It's nothing t o blush a bout. There ar el alway.s the I-was.-too­busy or I-wasn ''t -iri-the-Chr istmas-rn.ood alibis. Procrastina'tion of a ll varieties is a rn ijor industry.

But - the ·consequences' are another matter! Suppose you have your list m a de out well in advance a nd you think, " This is g-0ing to be a cinch . I know ju st .t he srtore where I can buy eaeih item."

Dear E d itor , What's happening ·to our class parties?

Couldn't they be more f un ? That's what a lot of SHS kids thought after the fresh­man-sophomore party and many of the juniors and seniors after t heir class party.

All the ogir ls .looked yummy in their new dresses a nd the boys looked equally as nice in t heir ties a nd coats, but t he affair turned out to be a ga}hering of dressed-up kill-joys. To put it bluntly it .was practically a fJ.op !

A few couples danced, but the corners were fi lled to capacity ·with guys and dolls comp.laining about what a boring time they were having .

Uon't crit icize the t eacher s or the com ­mittees or the entertainment- they tried ! W e have only ourselves to .blame.

Pa rties are intended to be fun! Every­one is supposed t o d ance and have a g ood time. Here's hoping t he next ' one will be a huge success !

No., its none of t hese, but s:omething much more, Has to do 'wit h a Babe who'll ,,be ·King ever:more., W.as He born in a palace ? No, somet1hing much stranger, He was. born in a stable and la id in a manger. And! what was the r ea son for this gif t fmm above ? To save us from sin, by His un diying love.

It's a mouldy a~sortment we've all out­grown.

Come- buy-al).d take the st uff away, to insure our merr y Christm as!

*s~* CharacLrist cs of a desiraole girl, as

expressed by a pair of junior fellows, and senior Jerry \ Ccsgrove's opinions on co -eel

. schools and E.ducation are on the agenda of this weeks ~ta,gline .

J im Brant:ngham a ppreciates a friendly disposition, pleasing personalit y and in~ t elligence', comb:ned with a sense of humor. Good looks are another recognized asset as long a s too much make-up isn' t used. Finishing his descr iption of an id ea l f em, J im claims, " I like a girl who knows what 'she wants wh( n she wants i t."

A good conversationa.list with interests simil«r to his OA n rarL,s high with Dave H a nna a nd he isn't interested in dancing ability. A sense of humor is essent ial and above-aver age intelligence isn 't necessary. Dave's p references lean toward b lond or brown-haired ga ls of averag e height.

Any a pp.licants for these posit ions? Senior J erry Cosgrove expressed his

opinions on a more serious question, namely the value of a college education and the pros and cons of co-ed schools.

Quot h Jerry, "A college educa t ion is valuable \n attaining a good posit ion in industry and bus iness. Ma ny have succeed­ed without it .but now-a -days nearly all successful men have a college background which is very beneficial t o t hem." . J erry opin es that the co-ed system is

best in hig h school, but at the college level a better education can be acquired at an all-boys school where there would be nothing but studies to occupy a fellow;s, mind during the week.

J erry's convictions on the wisdom of youthf ul marr iages are a s follows: "Any boy who wants to become a success in life is g reatly handicapped by a wife and family. ·

"Even those who expect to settle ·down and ·work in a factory or store should con­

\ sider "military service fi rst." '·I think t hat after a boy has served his

country, has a g ood job and money in the bank, he can safely get married."
