“Usually, when money grows
on trees, there’s a lot of graft-
ing going on.”--Alfr*d E Neu-
man.
This applies to the CHS C-
average leeches who are con-
stantly asking, “Can I borrow
your paper"’” Without the help
of the copy givers, these stu-
dents would spend their entire
lives In school or would flunk
out
There are two courses of
action that are possible in deal-
ing with the “copy writers” of
CHS First, you could offer

would also mean that he will
have just as good a chance at
the ''ollege of his choice and
possibly crowding you out Into
s one you didn’t care for.
Or you can withhold your
paper and ask your friends to
do the same. This will prove
to he a favor to you and for the
fink wto sits behind you. When
his grade begins to bounce along
the bottom, he also will begin
to study for himself. This will
Insure him a job-In the future
and keep him out of Vietnam or
from the drudgery of common
labor, as well as raising the
level of your school.
We’re not condemning the
occasional help to someone de-
serving, only that each and
every one of you should wise up
and make sure that you receive
just credit for your work sooth-
ers won't breeze through on It.

NEW MEMBER ADDED
TO TIGER RAG STAFF
The Tiger Rag staff found its
load lightened tills printing as a
new member was added. Sen-
ior Jayne Bishop Joined our
quaint group of clever, well-
informed, outgoing Journalists.
She is learning the difference
between a layout and a dummy.
She accepts her assignments
dutifully. She Is amazed at the
fact that we devote one period a
week to gossip, and that we
print what we gosslpped about.
She is taking In stride the house
rule that she must offer to buy
the staff breakfast (a Coke) once
a week during first period.
Soon she will become accus-
tomed to the fact that you suf-
fer aggravation due to thepesty
coaches and their ash trays
strewn around the Tiger Rag
room (though ttiey claim It Is
their office). Soon the hurt will
go away when people gripe that
the paper that she worked so
tirelessly on was not so good.
Welcome, Jayne, to the pleas-
ures (?) and privileges (?) of
the Tiger Rag staff.
