BRINGING UP PARENTS (By Gisela Dorrance, XII -A) So much has been said and written about bringing up chil- dren that I am amazed at the small amount of literature which has been produced re- garding parents and their bring- ing up. After all, it is essential to peaceful home life to have one's 'parents agreeable and well-trained. Since I have had seventeen yedthi;• experience in the field of bringing up par- ents, I feel fully qualified to recommend my system to ev- eryone, - The most fundamental aspect of all bringing up is training. Just as you would prefer a well- trained dog to a poorly -trained one, it is preferable to have well-trained parents.This way, they are an asset in the house, and promote peace, quiet and happiness. Training of parents is great- ly facilitated by observing cer- tain basic principles. First, al- ways be kind but firm. (This statement is found in all child psychology books, and, in my opinion, should be included in everything written `about par- ent psychology.) On the other hand, it does not harm to humor them a little by indulging the fancy that THEY are bringing YOU up. Secondly, begin your training program early, prefer- ably as soon as you are born. Be sure that a wail in the night gets a prompt response. it may be necessary to get your head stuck in the crib bars, or turn blue a few times before your parents have learned to come immediately, but it is well worth the. trouble. Thirdly, es- tablish aII routines gradually, and when you are planning a change in your regime, break the "news gently. You will meet less resistance that way. .Above all, know your subject --study your parents, classify each, and decide which will be the more pliable in• given. situation. Parents fall in 4 riu'mber of X db ategories. To avoid, writing an encyclopedia at this point, I will dwell only briefly on four of the 'most common types: the Child Psychologist, Roof -Rais- er, Soft Touch, and Fiend. The Child Psychologist is usually found wandering around with a blank look on his face and his nose in a book weighing at least 16 pounds. He tries, with varying degrees of success, to remaincalm and 'quiet at all times and resolve difficulties by reasoning or making a deal. The best way to handle him is to'bring up somethinghat Dr. Spingle-Whoosit, B.A., Ph.D., and . S.A.P., hasn't' thought of. This 'floors the Child—Psychol- ogy type every time. While he s stammering and stuttering make a quiet exit. The Roof Raiser shouts and screams, an is often very emotional. He re quires careful handling. May refer you to the directions fo using a pressure cooker "Should it boil .over, remove from heat, - - then gently' apply heat again after it has had time to cool off." The Soft Touch, on the other hand, re- tires when the situation . be- comes too hot, bribes his way out of a difficult situation, and is easily overcome by a storm of tears, a temper tantrum, or a little tragic melodrama. The Fiend is crazy about something —poker, races, cars, dogs, pho- tography, or TV. He -is easy to reach through a compliment about his craze, which never fails • to make him glow. If you want to get rid of him, simply inform him about something of interest to him, happening' a long way away,- and he will be away, like a shot. d I r Parents go through a number of stages — child psychology, various hobbies, picnics in the park, or excessive affection. By far the most serious is the "pal" stage. Depending on the indi- vidual, it lasts from- one day to ten years of playing tennis to- gether, chaperoning your dates, wearing the latest clothes and talking the latest slang — a rather ridiculous spectacle. Well, let them, be your pals - take them fishing all day under a hot sun • with lots of insects, swimming on a cold, rough day, or riding, especially if they had not come within fifteen feet of a horse since they were seven. Need I elaborate further? There! Simple, isn't it? Best of luck with my system! Be sure to tell me how it works. You see --well, you know that before you can train a dog you must know more than the dog. were Parents are no different. Mine young once, and they had parents of their own to prac- tise on --they know more about the stratagems and tricks used for getting around parents than FACILITIES TO PROVIDE INSTRUCTION in Home Economics at SDHS were'' uxne.eLeiy remodelled recently.

(Expositor photos by Phillips), HS Chatterbox Published by the Students of the Seaforth District High School Volume II — No. 9 Editors: Gisela Dorrance and Joyce Brown Exams Pose Problem as Humor Fades to Gloom This article on examinations was supposed to be humorous, but the more I thought about it, the sadder I became. Let me tell you that it is utterly im- possible to write a humorous article about something so piti- ful. Examinations have been call- ed ,,inany all-e(i.,many ,things, but J. K, a wel.)known authority on the subject, has defined them as a special event, which occurs three times a year when con- fusion leads to mass confusion; last-minute cramming tleads to headaches, and results lead to study rooms. • Examinations consist of: studying a six -months course in nine ,hours flat; propped -up eyelids, a bottle of no -nod pills, a last-minute grasp at fleeting knowledge, and the steady clicking • pr. stomping of the presiding 'teacher as she or he' surveys eagh individual, thus further increasing the student's anxiety and bringing forth beads of cold sweat. The exam's are over `"for an- -- other term. To those who 'have failed, may- I remind them that there is another set in about one month, so don't despair. , The teachers have not yet made an over-all report of these examinations, and I consider it safer not to make a personal report.
