(Emery Rogers)
The measly measles is not a trifling
disease in the high school. Students
are being stricken with this highly
contagious illness frequently. Stu
dents have suffered high fevers right
in the school rooms, and have broken
out with the malady within two or
three days after going to their homes.
Before it could be fully realized, the
disease had spread all through the
school. All those students who have
not been lucky enough to have had
the measles in former years are suf
fering a cold sweat because of fear
that they may be the next ones to be
called upon by this undesirable dis
ease. "
There are several reasons why a
student would not desire having this
sickness. First, because, there is no
fun in having the measles. Sometimes
its victims are made quite miserable.
Second, the school year is about to
come to a close, and if one were to
catch this illness it would be just
as well for him to give up all hopes
of going to school any more during
this term. This would not be dis
astrous for a student who, has high
standing in all of his studies, but for
a student who is just above flunking
marks, it would bring a great handi
cap upon him. , A student cannot
master his lessons nearly as well at
home as he can at school with the
aid of his teachers.
Of course this is a streak of bad
luck because it may cause the failure
of some of the unlucky students in
their studies. But, aside from quar
antine rules, which are now being
rigidly enforced, there is nothing that
can be done. As worrying does not
do us a bit of good, we shall just
have to grin and bear it.
