On the School Scene By Richard Strickland Indians Come Through Last Friday night the Indians kept pace with Spring Valley for first-place honors in the county, byjlefeating the Bryan Bulldogs , by*a score o f 49 to 45. Tiv^ was the second league game fo r the Indians, both of vrhich they have won. The score at the half was 22 to 54 with the Bulldogs in the lead. In the third period the Indians made, a 19-point stand, with Vest tributing immensely to our vic­ tory. The Reserve hoys also won their game, thus adding up to their seventh win of the season, with one loss. No other reserve team in the county has accom­ plished this feat the current sea­ son. Interscholastic Basketball Sophmores vs. Seventh Monday noon at 12:05 the first round of the current interscho­ lastic basketball tournament started. The game was much more exciting than most o f the pupils had expected, with the Sophomores leading by one point, 5 to 4, at the half. In the Isat half the Sophomores pulled a- way to score ^five additional points to one fo r the Seventh Grade, with the game ending 10 to 6. High scorers fo r the teams were Corrigan, nine points fo r the Sophomores; and Benning­ ton, four points for the Seventh Grade: This week, two more boys go on our list o f “famous Indian basketball stars.’ They are Don Chesnut and Bruce Corrigan, with eight tallies each to their credit.

Seniors Take SRA Tests As a follow-up to the Clapp- Young Mental Ability Tests, given earlier in the school year, the SRA Primary Mental Abili­ ties test was given to members of the senior class recently. The SRA test is particularly helpful in guidance work, as it is planned to determine the ex­ tent o f individual ability in five o f the eight known types o f men­ tal ability. The basic intellectual abilities measured by the SRA Test are: # Verbal Meaning Space, Reason­ ing, Number, and Word-Fluency. High scores in any of these abil- Jty-raBges predict aptitude fo r several occupations, and the ind- " ivklual would be able eo excel in tbpse provided he is given tde- quate training. JSpmtf practical applicants o f the test are: (1) if a pupil ranks: above the 75th percentile in the Raasoumg test, and his ambition to h« sn inventor Qr a teacher, if it would bg very worthwhile fo r ’& him to continue with this idea; but (2 ) if one's, ambition are a - f e lo5g the lines o f aviation or architecture, and he ranks low in Space test; it would be bwase fo r him to select 'another *■------ jn which the test* JacketsDrop 53-49Game ToFindlay Slaking their first home ap­ pearance since the Christmas holidays, the Cedarville College Yellow Jackets drooped a 53- 49 encounter to the Findlay Oil­ ers Tuesday night at Alford Memorial gym.

Results of the test may indi­ cate that an individual scores equally high in more than one o f the ability fields, thus giving him a wider choice o f vocation? from which to choose. The SRA test, taken as a sup­ plement to other mental ability tests, such as the Clapp-Young tests, which also define fo r the pupil certain specific abilities, should furnish a reasonably val­ id basis fir the pupil in his choice o f occupation. A comparison o f the rank o f our pupils who have taken the two above tests shows a good correlation fo r the majority o f the pupils, pointing toward the validity o f the tests. ^ The SRA test will he given to Juniors soon, and to other class­ es later, to establish a more com­ plete basis for _anayzing their occupational aptitudes. Miss Hanna administers the guidance tests and assists pu­ pils in _ making their profile sheets used in defining abilities. New Student The eighth grade welcomed a new student this week. He is Donald Wade from New Vienna. Donald is living at the former Whitelaw Reid homestead. Wel­ come to G. H. S., Donald; we hope you will like At Cedarville College The student assembly Monday was sponsored by Chi Mu Delta, whose president, James A. Rowe, introduced the speaker c f 1is.1 morning. The speaker, Dr. C. \V. Steele, was no stranger to many o f the students, as he this year is on leave from the college, hav­ ing been dean and professor o f history fo r many years. He based his talk upon the theme o f in­ spection. How would the earth appear to visitors inspecting it from other planets? Among the conditions to be found on the earth are war, starvation, di­ sease, and other c o i t i o n s of which we cannot be proud. What would the other countries of the earth find if they inspected the United States more closely. They would find a nation which depends a large amount of its income for education, yet a nation which spends far more billions o f dol­ lars for tobacco, liquor, and gam­ bling than it does fo r education. These conditions which exist, in addition to other similar condi­ tions, would not present our country in a very favorable posi­ tion before an inspection by out­ side visitors, It should he the ob­ ject of everyone in the United States to improve such conditions to the extent that we would not be ashamed o f the statistics. The Monday assembly will be in charge of the Cedarville Col­ lege YMGA. George Wjitt, Day- ton, YMCA program chairman, will be in charge o f the students who will participate. The Cedarville College Cara- vaners had charge of the prayer seervice at the United Presby­ terian Church the evening o f Jan. uary 6. Photography fo r the 1949 Ce- drus, the Cedarville College year­ book, is in full sway. During the next few weeks, photographs will be made o f each student, o f each campus group, of many class ses­ sions, and o f campus scenes. Pic­ tures o f Cedarville College life will be the theme o f the entire annual. Dr. Homer B. Henderson, pas­ tor o f the United Presbyterian Church at Grove City, Pennsyl­ vania, was the speaker at chapel Wednesday morning. Dr. Hend­ erson receive;! his A. B. degree from Cedarville College in 1902, and his D. D, from Monmouth College in 1924. He was intro­ duced by Pres. Ira D. Vayhinger as one o f the most successful al­ umni which this college has. De­ votions were in charge of Chap­ lain A . F. Huish, with Dr. R. A . Jamieson leading the prayer. Dr. Henderson left the students with several pointers to guide them through life. He advised each one not to take himself too seriously—that the world will go on miter death o f any person, no matter how important he thinks himself. He added that a sensse o f humor is an important asset in life. Every friend is al­ so a valuable asset; their value is realized more and more as life * progresses. He compared life to an echo—if we say and do good things we get nice things in re­ turn. He believes that the contri­ butions which we make are much more impoitant than the money we make. It is not how powerful we are in our sphere o f influence which counts; it is the vision which we follow. Faith is more important than knowledge. Al­ though we consider that the four forces o f heredity, environment, education, and opportunity from the course which our lives take, all o f these are not as Important as the vision which we follow— the faith which guides us.

Beavercreek, upset in the first round, trounced Ross, 55-42, and Bollbrook snatched a 39-37 tri­ umph from Bowersville Jeffer­ son in the last two seconds of play. 'Ihe Valley-Siivercreelc tilt was chiefly a battle between the respective centers, Tom Harvey and Ed Brill. Harvey connected for fourteen points and Brill tal­ lied fifteen for Silver. Trailing, 5-3 at the end* o f the first period, the Valley came back' with eighteen points in the sec- mid period to take a 21-9" half- tlu.e margin and was never head­ ed. fh c victory was the eleventh in twelve smarts for the Valley, will, lx also won its reserve tilt, 42-22. Cedarville staged a nineteen point third-quarter rally that saved the bacon in a victory over Bryan on’ the loser’s court. On the short end of a 22-14 half­ time tally, the Indians dumped ip nineteen points in the third quar­ ter to command a 33-30 lead, Ce­ darville outpointed the Bulldogs in the final stanza, scoring six­ teen points to fifteen fo r the van­ quished, Paul Vest led the Indians with twenty-five points on nine field goals and seven free throws. It was the second loop defeat in as many starts fo r the Bryan five. Cedarville won the prelim­ inary bout, 39-14. Coach M. E. Eidemiller’s Bea­ vercreek cagers rebounded "from a loop upset at the hands af Jef­ ferson in the first round to trip Ross at Beavercreek. The Beav­ ers, sparked by Junior Burger who tossed in nineteen points, held a slight margin throughout the contest. Jack Luttrell was high fo r the .losers with thirty- one. It was the second league loss fo r Ross. ■Tjeavfertreek took the reserve skirmish 28-22, Don Bartley’s life-saving free throw in the last two seconds o f the game gave Coach Charlie Starr’s Bellbiook five a victory aver Jefferson at Bellbrook. Jeff, a spoiler in the first round, suf­ fered its initial loop setback, and Bellbrook notched its first cir­ cuit win. A close, thrilling game all the way, the tally was knotted at IS­ IS at the midway point. Bell­ brook fell behind, 28-31, in the third period, but came back to win on Bartley’s charity toss. Bellbrook made it a clean sweep, winning the reserve fray, 26-20. After trailing 8-9 at the end of the opening quarter, the Cedqr- ville high school Indians dumped in 14 markers in the second quarter to take a 22-16 halftime lead and went on to win handily, 48-29, over Plattsburg at Alford Memorial gym Wednesday night.

Stuart, executive director of Hospital Care corporation, it was stated, to relieve the hardship on * subscribers * whg must remain in the hospital for more than 30 days and to pro­ vide greater allowances for those hospitalized in nop-mem- her hospital hospitals. To he effective on MarcJ! 1, 1949, the i,increased benefits are: 1 1. 70 days of care (instead, o f 30) each year in any non-pro­ f i t k*ncraj-service hospital in the world. 2. Greatly increased benefits for members hospitalized out­ side southwestern Ohio or in non- member hospitals. The increase in membership fees has been made necessary by a drastic increase in the percent­ a g e of people now going to hos- . pitals, the greater use of expen­ sive new drugs and diagnostic procedures and the higher cost of all hospital services. . More people are now being hos­ pitalized, Stuart stated, whether a -result, there has been a drastic increase in the percentage of me- members sept to hospitals. Five, hospital bills for -every 1,000 members were admitted to hos­ pitals annualy. Now 125 oht of every 1,000 are being sent to hos­ pitals each year. These 25 extra hospital bills for every 1,000 members cost Hospital Care corporation itn additional $1,- 250,000 in 1948. Blue Cross members are also being given more hospital and medical services, Stuart said. More new and expensive drugs and xuedicir.es are being prescrib­ ed and doctors are making greater use of expensive labor­ atory, x-rays and * other diag- ftostie procedures f‘or hospital patients, Stuart cited the unprecedented increase in the cost of hospital services* required by members as another factor which has made i a ‘fee increase necessary. The unit cost of all hospital services, he said, is at all time high and is increasing. Inflation has affected costs in hospitals more than in - any other type of business or in­ dustry - the daily cost of caring for a patient has increased 131 . per cent since 1941. These higher costs, Stuart said, are directly reflected in Blue Cross Hospital Care payments for members. The new. Blue Cross fees, which will become effective on the first billing received by subscribers which is due oil or after March 1, 1949, are: Payroll Deduction to Subscrib­ ers, Single Contract monthly ipJLod Quarterly 3.60; Family Contract Monthly 2.80, Quarterly 8.40/ Individually Billed Subscribers, quarterly, Single Contract 3.90; Family Contract 8.90. Hospital Care corporation re­ ports that during 1948, 92.5per- cent o f all income a record per centage - was paid out for ’ the current hospitalization of mem­ bers. Stuart pointed out that such a record of benefits given, mem­ bers is only possible because hos­ pital Care corporation is a non­ profit'community service organ-, ization.

Smith was facing his first grand jury session in common pleas court Wednesday armed with affidavits seeking indictments against 13 persons. In office less than a week, the. 'vcutliful Democrat, who resides in Jamestown, was being assisted ' in this jury session" o f the Jan. term by Marcus Shoup, Xenit Re* publican, who surrendered the of­ fice to the World War II veteran. Prosecutor Smith said evidence in the cases had been compiled by Mr. Shoup before turning the duties over to him. Among the cases being consid­ ered is a second degree man- Jarnes Weaver, 47, Dayton in the slaughter charge filed by the state highway patrol against traffic death of Ross Shoup, 22, Piqua, last July. Weaver, cnarged in xenia municipal court last Aug. iwth leaving the scene of an accident, was sentenced to 6 months i jail, three-year suspension o f Ms driving rights. He was returned recently from the Dayton work- house to county jail. These charges arose out of the death of young Shoup, a former marine, who died in a Dayton hospital a few days after the hit- skip accident on July 18. After colliding with the Shoup auto, Weaver’s car left the road and turned over along U.> S. 35 near Rnollwood, Weaver tl\en got out and ran into a cornfield where he attempted to hide from state highway patrolmen and a large posse of irate citizens of Beaver­ creek township He was found by three Rnollwood firemen who had joined the search.
