Rec Commission's Fourteenlli Dance Tomorrow Night ¦ ZJk e S a c h i m Sp eaks WE AREN'T SO IGNORANT ! "The true, strong and sound mind is the mind that can mbrace equally great things and small. "—Johnson. The opinion of many people today is that American schools in- inferior to Russian schools. Let's stop and look back five rears . • • Five years ago there were few articles on "how poor our schools arc. " But we were learning then primarily the same things that we learn in school today. We were eating the same nod, and wearing clothes quite similar to those we wear now. Everyone was getting an education on life and living—jut as re get today. Education—what an unusual word. It is unusual in that it has heen used incorrectly for so long, that a new meaning is associated with it: education immediately reminds us of books. Are we forgetting that education applies to all things t When one is educated , one is taught, one learns. We learn in our school life many other things beside school subjects. We loam how to get along with people, how to share things , how to take the difficult things of life without getting cross or losing our head. Why don 't people stop a minute and realize that Rus-sian schools aren 't really as great in this sense as ours? Yes, these students may graduate with 1700 or more school hours of science behind them , but they are ignorant in the face of the basic things in life. We are normal , we know where we are yoing. We are educated to be strong in mind , sound in judg- ment , and true in character. We can therefore , understand not onl y the great challenge of life such as the .Space Age, but also the smaller , dearer responsibilities such as our towns, our chil- dren and our schools. —Jayne Hayden iBarnstable Hi gh I R A I D - I U S ¦V—elma Robinson and Karen Hill are two seniors who arc I sporting the newest in Bermuda bag handles. The handles B have a hole at one end with the conventional pin. Both ¦ are brown plaids—and Karen 's has a skirt to match. Ed- H na 's Wool Shop is the place to buy them. ¦ A not her lovel y handbag is Edna Dewey's great big carpet B bag. It 's made of a warm fireside brown leather trimmed B with gold studs and buckles, and is almost as big as Junie. He reamy rose is the .shade of one of the prettiest shirl. dresses B we 've seen. Tho bodice has white monogramming in Old B English. A lovely dress for an attractive girl—Jo Ann Mc- B Manus. HA—freshman with style is Johnny Rafferty in his red ivy H league shirt with narrow stripes of black and white. Grey H flannels and white bucks help to put him on the best- B ^ Messed list. BBMnyprints are popular this season , and Lee VanBuskirk lias ^B a guy blue flnannel covered with what seems to be thou- BB sands of red asterisks. The full skirt is pinked around the HV bottom, and the neckline and three-quarter sleeves are Bf trimmed with a narrow band of white. '^P-am partial to red—that's why I love Nancy Stiles' bri ght H red wool dress. A gathered back, tiny gold buttons , a H cummerbund , and three-quarter sleeves that tie are its main ¦ features—and the full skirt makes it just right for party- H ing, dancing or school. ¦>—n a soft white pullover Mary Sue Rivers wears a dainty H collar of white-embossed drapery material trimmed with a B band of bright turquoise and gold.
