The evils of procrastination
By Janice Allan
A favorite hobby of
almost everyone,
whether or not he will
admit it, is
procrastination. The
dictionary describes a
procrastinator as one
who leaves things undone
for as long as possible.
Many people put off
studying for a test or
exam until the night
before. Essays also fall
victim to the "I'll do it
tomorrow" syndrome.
Unfortunately when
duties and respon-
sibilities are put off,
anxiety often follows.
People who
procrastinate are
cowards. They feel that if
they allow themselves the
minimum amount of time
to get something done,
then poor results are
justified. However, if
maximum effort was put
into a project and the end
result was not
satisfactory, that would
mean failure for the
individual. If the in-
dividual never pushes
himself to see how much
he can obtain, he will
never have to come to
grips with the idea that he
is not as fantastic as he
would have liked to
believe. For most people,
procrastination is easier
to live with than failure.
Eventually, putting
things off becomes a way
of life. A procrastinator
may want to accomplish
something bit he is
unable to because he has
suspended action.
Resolving to do
something in the future is
an acceptable substitute
for doing it. The hope that
things will get better in
the future prevents
assertive action as well.
Consequently,
procrastination provides
an escape for the more
unpleasant things in life
such as studying or
completing a project.
When you
procrastinate you only
hurt yourself. You are the
one who has to live with
the anxiety about the
things you have to do.
Begin the activity you've
been avoiding. Simply
attempting the activity is
far more important than
being perfect at it. If you
ask yourself "What is the
absolute worst thing that
could happen to me if I
did what I've been put-
ting off?", you may find
the answer rather in-
significant.
Procrastination has been
described thea "art of
keeping up with
yesterday" and who
really wants to keep up
with yesterday when
today and tomorrow look
much more exciting.

Gentlemen of the jury
"Gentlemen of the Jury
- The best friend a man
has in the world may turn
against him and become
his enemy. His son or
daughter that he has
reared with loving care
may prove ungrateful.
Those who are nearest
and dearest to us, those
whom we trust with our
happiness and our good
name, may become
traitors to their faith. The
money that a man had, he
'may lose. It flies away
from him, perhaps when
he needs it most. A man's
reputation may be
sacrificed in a moment of
ill-considered action. The
people who are prone to
fall on their knees to do us
honour when success is
with us may be the first to
throw the stone of malice
when failure settles its
cloud upon our heads.
The one absolutely un-
selfish friend that a man
can have in this selfish
world, the one that never

never proves ungrateful
or treacherous is his dog.
A man's dog stands by

Prefect Trip
The Prefects of CHSS
are planning their annual
trip in May. This year,
they will go to Niagara
Falls and Toronto.
Finian's Rainbow
in CHSS
This year's musical is
entitled Finian's Rain-
bow, which will be
playing at CHSS on May
10,11 and 12.
Practices have been
held since late February
under the direction of
Miss MacKenzie. The
assistant director is
Kathy Weary and Mr.
Blackwell is* musical
director.
If no immediate
problems arise (perish
the thought!), it should
have a successful run.
Mark those May dates on
your calendars and plan

On Thursday, April 5,
5A, through a tragic turn,
was forced to forfeit to 3E
and 3F came from an 8-4
deficit to win 12-8.
On April 10, 314

walked all over 3D by a
19-2 score. 4B (that
terrific Cheyenne

vances to the semifinals.
Winter carnival a success
On Tuesday, February
6, CHSS had its Winter
Carnival. Inclement
weather that Monday
caused a shorter week, so
the week was event -
packed.
On Tuesday, the first
events included the an-
nual. student -teacher
hockey game. This year,
the students won, but
there were some
penalties given out in the
process. There were also
tricycle races for the
chiefs and chieftesses of
the tribes. The tribal

A barber reports that
one Saturday a long-
haired youth came into
his shop, and sat in the
waiting chair. Each time
the boy's turn came up,
he let someone else take
his turn. After two hours,
the barber said, "Sport,
you might as well get it
cut now."
Replied the boy, "I'm
not waiting for a haircut.
I'm hiding from my
father and this is the last
place he'll look for me."

Q. A big Eskimo and a
little Eskimo are walking
through the snow. The
little Eskimo is the big
Eskimo's son, but the big
Eskimo is not the little
Eskimo's father. How is
this possible?
A. It was his mother.
leaders were walking on
ice in more ways than one
that day. Brenda
Dowson, . Cheyenne chief,
managed to win the
event. That night, the
movie Earthquake was
shown.
On Wednesday, a
yearbook display from
past years was in the
front foyer. Meanwhile, a
volleyball game was held
between the girl's
volleyball team and the
women teachers. The
mysterious "madames"
on the teachers' team
seemed to add a little
incongruity to the game.

counters with the
roughness of the world.
He guards the sleep of his
pauper master as if he
were a prince. When all
other friends desert, he
remains. When riches
take wings, and
reputation falls to pieces,
he is as constant in his
love as the sun in its
journey through the
heavens. If fortune drives
the master forth an
outcast in the world,
friendless and homeless,
the faithful dog asks no
higher privilege than that
of accompanying him, to
guard him against
danger, to fight against'
his enemies. And when
the last scene of all
comes, and death takes
his master in its embrace
and his body is laid in the
cold ground, no matter if
all other friends pursue
their way; there by the
graveside will the noble
dog be found, his head
between his paws, his
eyes sad, but open in alert
watchfulness, faithful
and true even in death."
George G. Vest,
U.S. Senator,
Missouri.
While practicing law in
late 1800's, George G.
Vest spoke the words
above which depict the
unique relationship
between a man and his
dog. He was seeking $200
damages for a farmer
whose foxhound had been
shot and killed by a
neighbour.
