Today we begin a new school week o f a new year, glad to be back in old C. H. S.—glad to for­ go fo r a spell the monotony of holiday dinners and parties. Most o f us are trying to live up to our New Year’s resolutions to study hard in the coming months, in order to make straight A ’s. I f this incentive does not pro­ vide some o f us with the urge fo r becoming studious, then the more immediate prospects o f the semester examinations looming up in the near future should en­ courage proper study habits. Whether we prove to be shin­ ing lights or f i t subjects fo r the traditional “ dunce cap’’ in the forthcoming examinations, the fact remains that each o f us has an opportunity now to start a now chapter in our school history, one which w ill prove just as worthwhile fo r us as we are w ill­ ing to make it. . . . LOOK ING AHEAD As the year o f 1949 comes up­ on us, some o f the thoughts that are in our minds (w e do have serious thoughts at times) are those along the line o f the world ifront. We wonder what the New Year has in store fo r us! Uppermost is the question, “ W ill we have peace?” This will he the year fo r the North Atlan­ tic Security Pact, and this will be a decisive factor in determin­ ing the question o f our chances o f settlment with Russia. But there are other questions in our minds. For instance, will our influence in China remain, or w ill the Communists gain com­ plete control? What success w ill the United Nations have when they convene in April? W ill an answer to the Palestine question be found this year, and what w ill be the fa te o f Israel as a free and independent state ? On the national front we have a new congress, and here our in­ terest is drawn to the questions o f the peacet/me draft, and tax­ ation. Certain,y the national de­ fense concerns us vitally, as many o f us w ill be eligible fo r this training. Turning now to our much smaller local front, the year fo r us seniors, as it marks the long awaited hour o f graduation. For members o f this class, gradu­ ation is no doubt the biggest e- vent o f the year. It marks the opening o f a new phase o f life fo r us. Finally, what has the year 1949 to o ffer? We can only spec­ ulate, hut whether internation­ ally, nationally, or locally, I ’m sure we have many vital and in­ teresting events ahead o f us.—> Margie Bradfute A N EXERCISE IN ENGLISH On Tuesday the sophmore En­ glish class was entertained with the dramatization o f Constance B ’arcy Mackay’s poem “ The Beau o f Nash” , read by three members o f the class. This poem is a part o f their class work. The setting o f the poem, was Christmas Eve in 1750, in the apartment o f Beau Nash. * Bruce Corrigan made a very gallant Beau Nash, while the character o f Jepson, taken by Don Baldwin, illustrated the correct and proper behavior o f the English servant. Mary Jo Duvall was the charming lady in the portarit. Dramatizing the poem proved to be fun fo r the cast. . . . CHRISTMAS ASSEMBLY • On Thursday afternoon pre­ ceding the Christmas vacation, an assembly program was pre- - seated by the music department, under the direction o f Mrs. Fos­ ter. . Members o f the hand opened the program with a medley o f Christmas Carols entitled, Yule- tide Echoes. Cletus Fredericks served as announcer o f the program. The student body sang several car­ ols, and Janet Hall read the Scripture version o f the Christ­ mas Story. Special music was presented by the mixed quartet composed o f Charlotte Harphant, Margie Bradfute, Cletus Fredericks, and Don Chesnut; Iso by the hoys trio, Cletus Fredericks, Don, Chesnut; and Dean Carzoo. A vocal duet was given by Char­ lotte Harphant and; Barbara Koppe; and a trumpet trio was played by Carol Sue Duvall, Pat Davis and David Lafferty, six­ th graders. A surprise feature o f the pro­ gram was the presentation o f a pair o f knickers to Mr. Walker by the members o f the Junior class. (Remember in, We Shook the Family T ree? ) The program closed with j;he assembly singing, Joy to the World. . . . JUNIOR CHRISTMAS -DANCE Appropriate decorations of red and green were used to dec­ orate the auditorium fo r the Christmas dance, sponsored by the Juniors on December 21, An old-time sleigh, loaded with a large Christmas tree decorated with artificial snow, made an at­ tractive motif fo r the center of the dance floor. Records used with the loud­ speaker provided music fo r the dancing. Refreshments o f punch and cookies were served to approx­ imately 125 guests at the conclu­ sion o f the grand march, which was led by Jack Irvine and Jane MacGregor: Miss MacGregor is a former Cedarville pupil' now attending Columbus school fo r girls. . . . FUTURE GAMES For the firs t game after the Christmas vacation, the Cedar­ ville Indians will trek to Yellow Springs, Friday night. This will be the second game with the Bull­ dogs, our hoys having had an easy time with them early in the season, winning by a score o f 4Q to 26. On January 12 Cedarville w ill play host to Plattshurg in the col­ lege gym, and then two nights later, January 14, we w ill vie with Bellbrook on the local court. LEAGUE GAMES The early months o f calendar year 1949 w ill decide the out­ come o f this season’s county league games. The Indians have played only one league game to date. This encounter was with Ross High on December 17, and our hoys were victors, by a score o f 42 to 36. • _ Hats O ff to him! Who? W il­ liam Lawrence F ife, the boy who scored 23 points in the Ross vs. Cedarville game, December 17. Bill is a senior, weighs 155 lbs. and is 5T1 in heighth.

We, Suggest that a New Year’s resolution o f his might be to continue, the good work.* . . . CHRISTMAS VACAT IONS Did you have a nice Christ­ mas? Was Santa good to you? What did you do on New Year’s Eve? These and many other questions you coujd hear around school the firs t o f this week. Most o f us were satisfied but a few were disappointed because Santa didn’t bring snow along so we could go bobsledding and sleighing. Some teachers and students of G . H. S. had interesting vacat­ ions this year. Mr. Guthrie and fam ily visited his parents and Friends in Apollo, Pennsylvania. During this time he met his * high school biology teacher*.' (Take notice biology students). Wonder o f Mr: Guthrie had to spell the long words that he has been giving you lately ? He visit­ ed Johnstown and neighboring cities, and also took a stroll through the campus o f Carnegie Tech University. Mr. Guthrie thought he was quite lucky as the driving weather had been, bad and on the way home, he saw the car in front o f him stopped fo r speeding. He stated that ( o f Millan funeral home, Cedarvillq,- Sunday at 2 p. m. with Dr.' R. A. Jamieson officiating. Burial was in North cemetery.

The home basketball schedule o f the Cedarville College Yellow Jackets will be resumed next week with Findlay College furn­ ishing the opposition Tuesday night, and Cincinnati Theolog­ ical Seminary Saturday night. In pre-holiday competition, the local team won four games and lost six. Two of the losses came at the hands o f University of Dayton, and one each from Xavier University and the Uni­ versity o f Cincinnati. Prof. Edith Strangland, phys­ ical education department, re­ turned this week to resume her departmental duties after spend­ ing two weeks in Florida. Prof. Stangland has organized a g irl’s basketball team, and is arrang­ ing a schedule with nearby col­ leges and universities. The firs t chapel speaker o f the new year was Father A . L. Schu­ macher o f St. Brigid Catholic Church in Xenia. Father Schu­ macher gave the student body a definition o f time, and showed the derivation o f the units o f -time. He stated that while man lives in time, God lives in eternity and that the small units o f time sum up to eternity. A large part o f this^ talk was devoted to an ex­ planation o f the stand which his faith takes concerning education. Education was defined as the ‘educing’ from pupils o f their best faculties, and cannot be re­ garded as true education with­ out morality* The parochial schools o f the Catholic Church are established fo r the purpose of insuring that the education o f course this part is o ff the rec­ ord) if the driver had been smart and used his rear-view mirror, as he (Mr. Guthrie) did, this mis­ fortune might not have happened to him. Mrs. Chesnut and Donald spent their vacation in St. Louis, Missouri. While there Don had a sixteenth birthday and enjoyed a surprise party given by a group o f his friends. When asked if she had the ideal “ White Christ­ mas” Mrs. Chesnut replied that she had all the snow that we didn’t have in Ohio; in fact it was the most snow St. Louis had had fo r Christmas fo r fifteen years. An interesting incident is related by Mrs. Chesnut in regard to a sign on a restaurant on the outskirts o f St. Louis, which read, Eat here i f it kills you. We need the money. She suggests it would be nice to have had a' picture o f Don standing by the sign. (W e’d like to have one, too!)
