Dear Sophomores:
So many of you have wished to know
how we secured our singular success ill
our book reports last year that we have
generously decided to give fi\'e important
rules for success ful book report writing
which we trust you will follow closely and
find profitable,
I. Do not start to read the book until
the night he fore your report is due,
2. Tell all the story in your report,
especiallr how it ends. Sister appreci­ates
this and if you are called upon to
read your report in class yOll are sure to
spoil the story for anyone else who may
read it.
3, Sprinkle your report liherally with
misspelled words, It will insure your
receiving indi\'idual notice in class.
-/.. Say that the work was interesting
and that you enjoyed it at least ten times
in each repOrt. This will show incli\'idtl­ality
of thought.
S, Abcl\'e all never hand a report in on
time. A fter handing in one at least two
or three dars late you will probably be
e..xcllsed frolll wri ting another.

The story has a mighty clash of oppos­ing
