On the School Scene by Janet Hull Math That Failed to Add Up Old Man April Fool himself was doing his best to outwit the “ wits” (oi' should I say “ wit” ) in Geometry Class lsat Thursday, although he was a day ahead of schedule. Mrs. Wilson, was called to the office, and the class was left on their own good behavior. Imagine Mrs. Wilson’s surprise when- she returned and found the pupils had all disappeared! But that wasn’t the way it finally turned out. For she entered the room all too sion, and found doors banging, feet scampering, and skirts peeking out from doorways. A few of the students were even short of the fun, and they stood in the room with smirks on their faces as the. in­ structor entered. Mrs. Wilson promptly joined in the new game, writing down the names of the missing pupils, and pretending to send this list to the office. But another big surprise was in store when Grace called the students ai the office. Everyone began to laughing, and Mrs. Wilson exclaimed, “ I didn’t ■intend ofr the girls to really take that list to the ofice.” After they returned from their little mission, peace and quiet reigned in the Geometry Class. (But I think we have learned our les­ son. W e’ll check the calendar more carefully, before we play our next joke. . . . .

AT CHURCH “ Messenger o f Peace” is the title o f the movie which will be shown at the United Presbyter­ ian church Sunday night at 7:30. The show is sponsored by the Mc- Kibben Bible class. Eighth Graders Conduct “ Good-Grooming” Experiment Miss Hanna’s eighth grade his­ tory class carried on an interest­ ing experiment recently under the direction o f their practice teacher. James Rowe. The idea o f the project came from a topic on personal guid­ ance, “ Good-grooming.” suggest­ ed in their “ Current Events” pa­ per. Before the magazine article was discussed in the current e- vents class, Mr. Rowe had each student vjpite his definition of what .the term “ good grooming” meant to him. These paners were handed in unidentified, and the most promising of them were then read to the class. It is interesting to note some of the items that the pupils con­ sidered essential for the well- groomed individual and those which they regarded as o f minor importance. The majority of stu­ dents stated that the personal actions o f the individual were a contributing factor in deciding whether or not he is well groom­ ed. They thought that in orded to qualify they should “ act like ladies and gentlemen at all times” and that they should by all means “act their age." Many pupils listed cleanliness as an important essential; things tak- eninto consideration along this line were: cleanliness o f hair, clothes, shoes, and most import­ ant of all, body cleanliness. Good manners, friendliness and cheer­ fulness were all mentioned as other qualities essential to good grooming. One point of special interest was thet very few pup­ ils mentioned anything about clothing, other than the fact that iit should he neat and clean. No one seemed to think about clo­ thing in terms; o f hifrii prices, or extreme or new styles* One student suggested a good rule to follow. “Always do the best with what you have.” After a general discussion of their definitions, the class de­ cided to vote on the girl and ljoy in their own group that they considered to be the “ best- groomed.” The results o f the poll showed that Marilyn Kyle and Donald Wade were considered by their classmates the two indivi­ duals who nyst nearly exemp­ lify the rules the class had form­ ulated as essential for good­ grooming. It was not until after this vote that the magazine article was used for discussion. After it was read, the consensus of opinion, was that the author’s ideas were very similar to those formulated by the class. The four main points they dfreided on as being the most important were as follows; good posture, a well scrubbed look, appropriate­ ness o f clothes:—not necessarily their newness, cost or fashion— and the person’s general atti­ tude—whether healthy, sulky or cheerful. On; the basis; of their conclu­ sions at this point, a vote was then taken to ascertain which was the beat-groomed boy and girl in the upper four grades of the high sdhooL Taking every­ thing into consideration, the fin­ al vote disclosed that Martha Swaby, a sophomore, and* Don Chestnut, .a junior, were select­ ed by the majority of the pup­ ils as the best examples o f good grooming* ■ . A fterithis class experiment we feel spre that the eighth grad­ ers will be more aware o f all the essentials o f good grooming, and w might all do well i f we were to make use o f their con­ clusions, in connection with our own grooming. — Margie Brad- . fute. . . Start'Sunday Greene county’s fund-raisinfe- campaign in the cancer drive, reached the half-way mark Of its goal Monday, twenty-four hours after the appeal opened.

StateAidIs HighertoGreene Countyfor 1948 Because many 1948 figures are not yet available, a break­ down of a report made public by the Ohio Chamber o f Commerce on the return of nearly 15 per cent more money to subdivis­ ions last year than in 1947 could not be localized for a compari­ son o f the totals. ... Statistics showed Greene coun­ ty had received as much in some instances and more in others as the state sent more money back to cities, counties and schools. The total 1947 state aid was $1,100,189 to this county. The Chamber said state sub­ sidies to all local subdivisions and sghools in 1948 totaled $201,- 353,827 compared fith" $175,408,- 057 in 1947.

In a compilation prepared “to assist the Ohio general assembly in its consideration o f -the state’s biennial budget,” the Chamber said it favors “ retrenchment of operations by the state govern­ ment parralleel to the readjust­ ment which is becoming necessary fo r business.” Greene county’s local govern­ ment fund shofwed state payment* from sales tax in 1947 amounted to $92,640, in 1948 and" $40,383, the major cutback, and last year the intangibles tax payment was $62,389. . - The state paid $2,560.28 on a preliminary basis in 1948 to the here:$576,740 in 1947 and $722,- 362 in 1948 under the school foundation program; $4,270 each, o f the last two years o fr voca­ tional education; $2,064 each year for interest on irreducible debt to school districts; $1,183 each yew on library aid; $3,733 in 1947 and $7,466 j n 1948 for old age pensions to county home inmates ; $3,317 each year to the health ' district; $343607 in ’47 and $370,- 274 in '48 fo r highways; $18„301 each year from liquor permit . fees; $3,375 in .1947 and $4,500 in judges salaries.

OhioPremierofLawtonStorytoBe Church Services HeldSundayatMurphyinWilmington ThirdAnnual fe L M The first color film on the life of Christ ever made, “ The Lawton ; Story,” will hold its Ohio premiere 1at the-Murphy Theatre next Sun­ day. The full-length, Ginecolor film was produced at a cost of $2,500, 000 by Hallmark Productions of- this city. Kroger Babb, president of-Hallmark, said today that 56- miutes of the film are actual scenes from the world famous Wichita Mountain Easter Pag­ eant, the American “ Oberammer- gau” held annually near Lawton, Okla. „ “ The I .awton Story” is the story - of the late Rev. Mark Wallock of , Lawton who founded the Wichita Mountain Easter Sunrise Ser­ vice 24 years ago. Most of the dialogue used in the film was written in Mr. Walloek’s own words. All of the outdoor scenes were 'filmed in Lawton .and iiuthe Holy : City o f the Wichitas. the^pageant site 22 miles away..Sceiies-filmed in the breathtaking beau# of the ;.Wichitas, are the background for *the 'powSffur-filnn 'r-c “ The Lawton Story” actually' is two pictures in one" The story o f Mr. Woilock .surrounds “ The Prince of Peace,” the theme of the W?chita Mountain.Raster Pageant, More than 3,000 pevsons from Lawton and 32 neighboring communities are\ in .th‘e s cast. There are 100 speaking parts. The music fo r the'fiim was pro­ duced by the 80-voice Hallelujah Choir and a 62-piece, symphony orchestra under the direction of Edward J. Kay. Fifteen weeks of shooting time was required to make the outdoor ond indoor se­ quences. The setting, for the pageant sequences in “ The Lawton Story” at Holy City is the only perma­ nent replica of ancient Jerusa­ lem ever built. Among the well known buildings and - Biblical scenes in the Holy City are The Walls o f Jericho, the Gateways of Jerusalem, The'Tomb, the Gar­ den of Gethsemane. Jacobs Lad­ der, Calvary’s Hill, the Watch- tower, the Inn and the Stable and- the Lord’s Supper building. : Designed by Myron Groseclose -of Oklahoma City, the Holy City is- a half a mile wide and five .blocks long.. It rings a 1,200 foot ridge in the Wichitas in a gigan­ tic. natural arc." This arc forms . the settng for the pageant scenes in “ The Lawton Story.” Spotted with rocks, gullies and underbrush, it is a natural back­ ground for the Passion Play scenes. The stage is not only one of* the largest but one of the most unusual in the world. ' “ The Lawton Story” is com­ pletely non-sectarian in its treat­ ment of its religious theme. It is also a practical illustration of the fact that people in all walks of life, all churches and races, can work together peaceably. Among the representatives of races and religions in the case - were Indians, Negroes, Chinese, Confucians, Buddhists, Jews, Catholics and Taoists. The film ' ' introduces Ginger' Prince, new 6-year-oid child star from Atlanta who plays Mr, Wal- ' lock’s niece. Little Miss Prince ’ sings four songs in .the movie, “Holy. Holy, Holy,” The Turtle,” Down In Aklahoma," and “ Right Under My Nose.” “ The Lawton Story” is. Miss Prince’s first’ movie. She was -discovered by-Babb in Atlanta last year when she appeared in a downtown Atlanta hotel in a child’s fashion show. The child was once hilled as “ The youngest disc jockey in the world,” for she conducted a local program from an Atlanta radio station at age five. At the conclusion o f the film, Lee Lindsay, the Wichita Moun­ tain speaker, will give a five- minute tqlk on the pageant back­ ground and will answer any ques­ tions members of the audience care to a;jk about the film or the pageant.
