On the School Scene By Margaret Swaney These March winds remind us o f a housewife busily cleaning her house. In the morning bright and early you see her already at work wnth her daily cleaning. The wind is busy at work early and late cleaning the cobwebs out o f the sky, and scooting the clouds along in a hurry. And as the housewife busily stirs the dust inside, so does the wind stir the dust outside, and, all oth­ er objects not welt anchored. In typical fashion March was ushered in with the roar of a lion, but we are wondering if it will go out as gentle as a lamb. . . . FRESHMEN LEAD ASSEMBLY A special feature of the assem­ bly program which was held on Thursday, February 24, was the Cedarville College Barber Shop Quartet, composed of 'Professor Dodds, James Shaffer, Paul Fielder, and David Spitzer. They sang three numbers: “ I’ve Been Working on the Railroad” (ded­ icated to the South-side Cedar­ ville railroad), “ Old MacDonald Had a Farm” sung especially for the Ag boys), and “Let Me Call You Sweetheart” (directed to the girls). Frances Lowry, president o f the Freshman Class, had charge of the assembly. Psalm 91 was read by Helen Stanforth, fol­ lowed by the Lord’s Prayer. The student body participated in group singing, after which a pep meeting was held. . . . OFFICE PRACTICE COURSE ORGANIZED An Office Practice course is being offered in the commercial department for advanced typing pupils. The new course will cov­ er a semester’s work, and it is set up on the rotating plan of in­ struction. Nine seniors are en­ rolled, in the class. Basic units of filing: adding machine, mimeoscope, and mim­ eograph operation; and rough draft will he completed by all members of the class. Several special units will be available to pupils, individual choice depend- • ing on the field o f pupil interest. This, phase o f the instruction covers, techniques andskills in job-getting *and job-holding; salesmanship, secretarial work, and clerical work. With the use o f the rotating plan fo r the office practice course, only a minimum of equip­ ment and materials “are required fo r the class, and it is possible to vary the instruction to indi­ vidual needs. The plan is espec­ ially practical in smaller schools, where a wide variety o f office equipment is not available. . , , BEAVERS CAPTURE COUNTY CROWN Last Thursday night Beaver­ creek High captured their fourth county tournament title: when they defeated Cedarville with a score o f 50 to 40 in a hard- fought battle at the Xenia Field House. Cedarville and Beaver played even-up ball until about the mid­ dle o f the third quarter when the eager Beavers started to pull a- way. A t the end o f the third can­ to the Beavers were leading the Indians by six points, which they increased to ten as the game ended. Vest was again high scorer for Cedarville with 14 points to his credit, while Montgomery o f Beaver took the honors of the game with 18 markers.

ManIsHeld InSchool Robberies Dwight Cherry. 51 ex-convict from Zanesville, who admitted to Zanesville police that he was im­ plicated in thirty-eight Indiana and Ohio high school safe-crack­ ings, may have been involved in two Greene county burglaries and one in Waynesville. The suspect confessed Waynes­ ville and Yellow Springs high school burglaries, reported eight­ een months ago, but has not said he perpetrated the $334 robbery at Ross township school last De­ cember. Sheriff’s deputies said they be­ lieved he is the man who robbed the two Greene county schools. Yellow Springs Bryan school was broken into and the safe looted eighteen months ago and shortly after that tbe Waynesville school was robbed. Getting Around Cedarville Here and There—A daily pass­ enger in Lamarr Hamman’s com­ bination bus-milk truck is Mrs. Brightman who is usually on her way to work at the Pantry. Pret­ ty good idea, No use walking when a ride is available, . , Three cheers for the Cedarville .High •School Indians. Even though they failed to win the Greene county tournament the Indians still get to go to the sectional tourney at Xenia this week, as ddftsolation 'wih'ners. . .Former Cedarville High School basket­ ball mentor Harry Wallace who now coaches at Jimtown Hi went into a’ near frenzy after hjs cjosc-game loss to our Ind­ ians. . .Coaching really takes a lot out of a conscientious person. Charlie Stair basketball coach at Bellbrook High, is giving up his coaching job for one with less strain. He is going into Farm Bureau organizational work, . , If we are not careful the pressure we ekert on our Ohio High school coaches will drive all the good men out of the “ profession.” There have been numerous re- gretable incidents here in Ohio this past season in high school basketball which were perpetrat­ ed by parents or spectators. It seems that some so-called adult individuals have a hard time reaching maturity. They exhibit this in their zealousness to fight over outcome pf high school basketball game. Maybe we ought to give the game back to the school children. One very unde­ sirable solution that could be used as a last resort is to ex­ clude all spectators from the games excepting bona fide stu­ dents. . . Has anyone ever told you a story or tale about some­ one else that proved not to he wholly or partially true. Accord­ ing to such reliable sources as the Bible and Webster’s dict- tionary such information is termed a “ down right” lie. In this modern day we choose to call such talk, “ gossip.” In reality an untrue statement is a lie. Much o f the “ gossip” and rumors that go the rounds are carried from place to place by idle minds- minds that could yield product­ ive thoughts. “ Rumor peddling’” is a habit. You tell one story that gets a good reception and others come more quickly the second time. Both men and wo­ men are guilty o f gossiping. In the early days of our country’s history they punished those who spread rumors in a very novel but effective way. Individuals found guilty o f the crime o f gos­ siping were tied securely on a chair on the end of a long Plank with a trestle in the middle* much like a seesaw. The end of the plank on which the offended was seated was suspended over water. Many communities made use' of the nearest creek, pond, or lake. Fully clothed, the offendor was ducked into the chilly water much to the delight of thp watch- »ing crowd. "As you will agree this was rather severe punish­ ment for such minor ’ offense, but in another sense telling someone a rumor about another person which you are not sdre is true can do that person harm. Probably the best answer is summed up in four blunt but well-directed words, “ Mind your own business.” If we do a good joh of taking care o f our own faults, there is little time remain­ ing to “ pick the other fellow a- part.” c Parting Pome On Being a Brother’s Keeper The good book says a barrel of truths Bout brother’s keeper and 2,065Service s MenAidedby ., led Crossin’48 A total of 2,065_ service men, veterans and. their dependents received welfare services through the Home Service of the Greene ' County Chapter o f the American Red Cross during 1948, -Mr. W. A . Hammond, Chapter Chairman, disclosed today. Out o f this total, 1,074 were veterans ‘ and their families, ac­ cording to Mr. Hammond.

In addition to its own program of assistance, Home ^Service works with other local agencies and. refers to them those cases and family problems which are logically the responsibility of these agencies.

But Some folks forget the 3 prayer to use, “ Dear" Lord, keep my mouth shut,” At Cedarville College The convocation period next week will feature the women’s Bible reading contest, an annual affair at Cedarville College. Sev­ en women will participate. Rev. Glenn S. Copeland, pastor of the Methodist Church of Springfield spoke to the convo­ cation group Wednesday on the “ Battle of Berlin.” He related his difficulties in getting permission to visit Berlin last fall, and many of his* experiences while he was in the city. Rev. Copeland belives that the allies made two diplomatic blun­ ders, one following the other. In tjie first place, the original agree­ ment on Berlin should have had the allied occupation zones run­ ning to the city limits, so that each sector in Berlin would be adjacent to the corresponding zone o f Germany. Second; since this was not done, the allies should have had at least a corrU dor from theip zones into Berlin, bver which the Russians would have no control. Our diplomatic stupidity was based on idealism and fair play: we did not real­ ize that anyone would fail to meet us half way. The principal cause of the blockade has been the Russian desire fo r secrecy. Berlin is actu* ally a “ hole” in their Iron Cur­ tain. They are ip a position to discredit the allies i f the airlift fails, Their line ° f propapanda would be (1) the Amercans don’t care what happens to Europe, and (2) the Americans are not able to oppose the Russians. I f the Russian life the block­ ade in return for an allied con­ cession, they still have the upper . hand, for they can rejmpose the blockade and. demand any other Concession they may'fancy. The only silution to the problem is these curing o f a corridor from the allied .zones to the allied sec­ tor of Berlin. The Cedarville College quartet has made several appearances in the vicinity lately. Among -their audiences were the Clifton Com­ munity Club, the Cedarville Col­ l e g e alumni, the Greene County '-Farm Forum, the Yellow Springs Masonic Father and Son banquet Arcanum High School, and Ce­ darville High School, .
