Back to School Tips
From Hi There, High School! by Gay Head, Scholastic Book Services, Revised edition, copyright 1955.
"For advice on personal problems go to your homeroom teacher, the dean of boys or girls, or the principal. These people are your friends, always interested in your welfare and ready to help you when they can." So that's what they're there for! I never knew. For what it's worth, I suspect that they didn't either.
"Never laugh during the presentation of a student who has a speech defect, such as lisping or stuttering. He may be funnier than Red Skelton, but you aren't listening to a comedy program." Oh, wait--Red Skelton is supposed to be funny? Nice to know, though, that people with speech defects are. So laugh at them all you want, as long as it's not during their presentations.

Every ounce counts
Once again, back in 1942, the people of the U.S., led by the government, saved and recycled for the war effort: Spring House Cleaning 1942 Forward March with the Scrap Brigade
Next trash day, take a look around your neighborhood and think about how many plastic weapons (what, you don't watch Law & Order? Of course they make plastic weapons) could be made by recycling all the cheap plastic crap that people throw away.
