To the ancient Romans the fif­ teenth of March signified the Ides o f March, and the date was asso­ ciated with superstitious fear. Ceasar, the conquerer, was warned to beware of this date by the Roman soothsayer, but Cea­ sar cast this nonsense aside, as it was not becoming to a conquer- er. He wa planning to be the rul­ er o f the world! But it was on the Ides o f March that Ceasar was killed by his friends, led by Brutus. His vain hopes for temp­ oral power were thus shattered by his fickle friends. Thursday, March 17, was St. Patrick’s Day. St. Patrick lived in southwestern Britain in the troubled days when the Romans were abandoning the island to its fate, and before the English had appeared. He went to Gaul (now Francej. For some time he lived there, where he became a monk, and later he returned to his home in Britain. After his return he dreamed one night that a man came to him with a paper bearing these words, “ The Voice o f the Irish,” and at the same time he heard the Irish calling, “ We, pray thee, holy youth, to come and walk again amongst us as before.” ■Patrick decided that this was a missionary call to Ireland. He returned to Gaul, where he spent fourteen years in preparing for this work. He arrived in Ireland with the title of bishop and the pope’s blessing, and began the work which was to make him the patron saint o f the island. It has been said that there “ were no Christians in Ireland when Patrick' began his work, and no pagans when he died.” This is perhaps not strictly true, but he did much to establish Christainity firmly in the island, building churches and monaster­ ies and converting the people. It is believed by some that St. Patrick drove the snakes o f Ire­ land into the sea. Others say that when he was questioned by some o f his converts about the Holy Trinity he showed them the shamrock as an example ot“ the “ Three in One.” . . . . Senior Play Tryouts Held Tryouts for the senior class play were held on March 8 with seventeen seniors trying out. The play chosen is a three-act comedy dealing with college life, entitled “ Girl Shy” , and written by Kath­ arine Kavanaugh. Parts for the cast were an­ nounced W e d n e s d a y morning, as^ follows: Gerry Pitstick, Jerry Wilburn, Barbara KojVpe, Bill Heidorn, Rita Corrigan, Vera Thordsen, Charlotte Harphant, Bill Fife, Bob Williamson, Mar­ gie Bradfute, Phyllis Frame, and George Stephents. The date set for the play is Friday, April 8, and rehearsals are now in full swing. We hope you will remember to keep this date open .. , . . Freshman Party The freshman class is planning a St. Patrick’s dance fo r this Friday night, tq appeal to your traits. They are honoring St, Patrick by decorating the audi­ torium with green and white streamers and using Irish pota­ toes for the candle holders. For entertainment there will be square dances, a grand march, and a circle dance, all o f which sounds interesting. Mr. Albert Mott will call the square dances and lead the grand march. This dance will be held at 7:SQ March 18, 1949 at the school au­ ditorium. The admission will be 20c each. We hope all o f you, with the g ift of blarney, will come ar.d en- ^ joy yourselves. . .

Getting Around Cedarville Here ami There—The papers have carried stories this past week or. a speech President Tru­ man made some time ago in which he used or rather referred to a person he disliked as a “ S.O.B.” We don’t have to stretch our imagination very far to sur­ mise what those initials mean. It is quite regrettable that the man whom we have elected to the high office o f president of our country finds himself so Isot fo r wards that he uses profanity, es­ pecially in the presence o f wo­ men. ’Tis said that a person who uses profanity shows a lack o f intelligence since “ cuss” words are poor substitutes .for the “King english.” Because of his high position; the president o f the United States sets an ex­ ample fo r a great number o f our citizens. Truman is very much aware o f this fact since he cap­ italized on this particular item in his presidential eampagn. The fact that he won the . election when all called the so called ex­ perts predicted he would lose ad- ed to his popularity. It appears now as though his inadvertent slip o f the tongue has lost many o f hi-, newly won friends. Gen­ erally speaking the American people do not make it a habit to use profanity and neither do they sanction its use. It will be inter­ esting to Wait and see just how easy it is for H. T. to let another “ cuss” word s lip .. . One o f the finest sports events that has taken place in our town this win­ ter is the Gold Medal basketball tourney now in progress at Al- forl Gym sponsored by the Ce­ darville College athletic depart­ ment. This tournament is a round robin affair made up of independent amateur teams. These teams in many cases have not had many opportunities to play or pit their strength a- gainst other amateur teams, mainly for want of playing floor. We hope that Mendel Beattie, the Cedarville College Athletic director, will make the tourney an annual affair. Its a fine op­ portunity also for the participat­ ing players to experience the close play that is part o f such a tourney. The winnerl will be a- warded appropriate medals as . will the runner-up team. Special awards will recognize outstand­ ing individual ability and sports­ manship. I f such tournaments as this were operated over the Uni­ ted Slates as a whole it might do much to curb both juvenile and adult delinquency. . . .
