The issue was an experimental one. We had no idea how our temporary staff would work in to a regular publication schedule and our estimate on how much work it would require on the part of our regular staff was just as hazy. That the experiment was a success we attribute to the ability of the students and to their seemingly boundless amount of energy. As our readers can well imagine, it is not the easiest task in the world to give and digest a short course in journalism and advertising in a period of about five days and at the same time produce a newspaper. Aside from the actual production problems, we were struck by the manner in which most of the students accepted and The Cracker Barrel Forum By A. J. Drinkell Henceforth, they who are aceus- tomed to criticizing our education system in ambiguous terms will re- their phraseology and definitely more spe- cifie when making their aliegations, We hear and read a@ great deal re- garding the lack of grounding in English. We are constantly being in- formed that present day students know nothing of composition and so quire to be more precise in on. In a general way there may be some truth in these things, but, so far as the stu- dents of Williams Lake District concerned will they be able to point with im- measurable pride to Volume 22, Letters To The Editor March 19th, 1954, Mr. C. Stangoe Editor, Williams Lake Tribune Williams Lake, B.2, Dear Mr. Stangoe: I would like to thank you for the service that you have done for our school in making it Possible for our students to publish last week’s edition of the Tribune. It is through the co-operation and interest of per- discharged their responsibility. From an adult point of view, jsons such as yourself that we are this fact loomed as perhaps the most impressive conclusion | from the experiment. We have not always been satisfied with: the present educational set-up and particularly with its ent-| bhasis on mass production of graduates. We have had the sus- Picion that this procedure might also result in a general lower- ing of standard. However, in the case of those students who were with us last week, we had our fears allayed. They tackled able to improve our High School pro- gramme. It is my opinion that the students produced an excellent edition of tre Paper, under the capable direction of yourself and Mrs. Haramia. The interest which the students have their job with just as much ability as would have a class of ‘shown and the practical experience our own generation, and, we believe, with a great dea] more confidence. The friendly invasion produced a totally unexpected result as far as the regular staff was concerned. Drawn into the mid- dle of a student activity, we all found ourselves taking part in the good-natured banter that constitutes the major part of student conversation. For six days we found there was a lot of unexpected fun in our routine-jobs. Seems dull around here this week. We Ain't Gentlemen A talent for tangy, slangy retort in tight military situa- tions seems one of the qualifications for top command in the U.S. Army. There was the general who said “nuts” when asked by the Germans to surrender at Bastogne. General Ridgeway outlined his plans when he took command in Korea as “we aim to stay.” But a couple of stories told in Ottawa by Lord Tweeds- muir, son of the late sgovernor-general, indicates that ordinary Canadian soldiers share the talent. When a stiff-necked Geman officer called to a handful of Canadians defending a house in Italy: “You English gentle- men h tter surrender or take thy consequences,” first “‘an- nual’’ Students’ Special Issue, we seem to recall that some years ago the Williams Lake students staged a similar operation while Mr. Renner Was the editor, und unless our mem- ories play tricks on us that, too, was a very Worthy efforth. In those days, of course, the school enrolment was considerably smaller and the avail- able talent correspondingly scarcer. NOW- EDGE VENEERED 27 DIFFERENT PIECES INCLUDING 9 NEW BEDROOM.
