Homemakers Hear English Governess W arrior hitt-icisms-------

"1 don't espscl&.lly like American food. they mix too much together," replied 18-year old VIvian Kirton In answer to one of the many questions asked her by Mrs. Nlla Magdanz's third hour homemaking class.

Vivian Is here Crom Cambridge, England on a two year visa. She Is working a11 a domt-stlc (governess) In the district.

Senior Turri Rutle first Introduced VIvian to West.slde, so that she could meet llOople. She was asked by M1·s. Magdanz to speak to her first and third hour homemaking clasf\es, which are currently studying fnmlly living. Although It Is tlosslble for VIvian to become an American citizen after five years she feels that she would rather remain British.

Karen Sabler, senior remarked; "She Is an excellent example of English culture."

Several potential Congressmen are springing up around Westside. They have discovered how to solve problems th at the United States Congress hasn't, such as budget, socialism, and the eternal farm problem. Among these amateur Kennedys are Nick Kostos, who believes that getting rid of trolls will improve the situation, and Bob Bucholz, who thinks not beIng starry-eyed over the upperclassmen would do it. Il might. b o noted that both convinced tho voters and won.

Time is run n ing out. In a few days the seniors will no longer be seniors but high school graduates. Off to a summer job, college, or other activities, you will be stepping into a new world. Once th e chime has sounded ending this phose of your life, the door wi ll be closed forever and you may neve r r e t urn again.

Tick- toc k, t ic k -tock Stop th e clock for a mom e nt - you can' t ! But pau se a minute and glanc e back at your high s chool ye ar s Th e cla sses, t h e t e ach e rs , th e fri e nd s you ' ve mod e, and th e he arta c h e s and joys Re me mb e r when you mad e th e football t e om or we nt to your fir st danc e ?

T ick-tack, tick-tack. In room 233 above the blackboard ore a f ew words of wisdom of which the first line is, " Toke time to live, it is one secret of success." Many times we ore looki n g forward to coming events so much t hat we forget to toke t ime to enjoy what each day holds. The future will come and we cannot hasten its approach by dreaming about it. Some day toke time to read the poem in room 233; it's your choice whet her you "toke time to live " S. T
