A final word on the subject of
daydreaming is given by two CD-
eX grade XII students --that is,
if a final word is possible on such
an ambiguous subject.
Daydreaming is a waste of
time. If you Ariake apractice of
daydreaming in school you will al-
ready know that it is rather em-
bax'i'assing to be asked a question
when you have no idea where you
are. Surely, after beingCaught in
thi',s situation a few times, you
will try to break off your habit.
But if you keep on, you will
soon find yourself in a conversa-
tion witha friend with anyone,
for that matter. After a few
minutes of silence spent ih clay -
dreaming, you strike up the con-
versation once more only to find
your friend has gone while you
were "asleep on yoiir feet," As
you will find out, nothing feels
more like a door knob coming off
in your hand than trying to talk
to someone who is not there.
Back in school again you some-
times (if you're lucky) get a
spare. A spare is a paradise for
a daydreamer who usually sits
star -gazing for thirty-five minu-
tes, All this useful time is wasted
when you could be doing some of
your homework,
You may say that great invent-
ions have been discovered by.day

dreamers but more often i wen -
tions came from men who spent
years working and studying
rat dam/!i ,J on/�d(1kvl vA
er than staring into space.
At last it is Friday night, and
you are going along the road 'in
your dad's car. You have been
daydreaming in school all week
and sure enough you start again,
thinking how lucky you are to
have the car for your big date.
The next thing you know you are
in the ditch wound around a hydro
pole. Maybe someday you will
learn,
Filially though it's not your
fault you finish school and, be-
lieve it or not, get a job. The big
boss is at your office and is giv-
ing a rather boring speech. Sure
enough you fall into a trance and
jump right out of your chair when
he roars at you, Needless to say,
you continue Your jump right out
of`
the door insearch
But I suppose a newb.
4you must learn the
hard way that daydreaming is
certainly a waste of time.
GERALD TEBBUTT, Gr. XII
Daydreaming is not a waste of
time. A person who is daydream-
ing may be thinking of some great
invention; or he could be sound
asleep. Usually it is the latter.
Of course there are exceptions.
Many inventors daydreamed
their ideas into profits. A good
example is the fellow who first
thought that stars travel in cir-
cles. He was daydreaming in
school one day when the teacher's
ruler descended on him. He saw
many stars of all sizes travelling
in circles around his head. From
this he reasoned that stars travel
in circles around some central
body.
And then there is the fellow
who reasoned that the shortest
distance between two points is a
straight line. At the time, he
was walking in a daydream on
top of a high cliff when -he walked
over the edge and fell unharmed
in a big hemlock tree. From this
he reasoned that it was much
shorter and quicker to come down
the way he did than to follow
the long winding path down the
face of the cliff. Besides, he fig-
ured he might fall off the path
and get hurt.
And then there is the fellow
who proved the theory that a rol-
ling stone gathers no moss. He
was sitting on the side of a hill
daydreaming when a big boulder
came crashing down and just
grazed his skull. From this he
realized that if the stone had had
some moss on it, he wouldn't have
gotten hurt. Now you can see
how some of our .useful things in
life were begun by someone's day-
dreaming,
