This unusual photograph of the air force's newest and fastest bombers, the Northup B-49 flying wing (top) and the Boeing B-47 stratojet, flying wing-to-wlng, was made during a recent flight over Dayton, Ohio. The flying wing is powered by eight jet engines and is capable of speeds over 500 miles per hour. The stratojet has sir jet engines which push it along at more than 600 miles per hour. These planes are typical of the nation’s bid for air power as designers and engineers seek Is serfeet_ craft with greater speeds and bomb carrying capacity. On the School Scene By Margie Bradfute “ Man am I grown, a man’s work must-I do.”— Tennyson’s immortal words spoken by the Knight Gareth in one of the “ Idylls of the King” ,— Gareth and Llnetta—has much meaning for seniors at gradua­ tion time. Graduation has such an air of finality! We mav think until that day arrives, how glad we shall be when we are no longer an­ noyed with the bothersome de­ tails which constitute a part of the average day in a student's life: But when the hour actually arrives fo r farewell to high school days, we begin to realize what a brief and happy exper­ ience school life has been in real­ ity. New problems fill our minds now, decisions to be made, con­ cerns about our future. Will it be further schooling fo r us, or immediate employment 2 What choice o f career shall we make— domestic life or a business career, or a combination o f bothJ? Re­ grets and somber thoughts at times color our thinking of fu­ ture plans when we suddenly re­ alize that there will be no more school-bus rides, class parties, school dances and daily contacts with classmates and other pupils. And mingled with these con­ flicting emotions is a feeling of gratitude to our parents and teachers fo r making it possible for us to complete our secondary education, and we ask ourselves what we can do to repay their ef­ forts. The solution to this prob­ lem seems to be a part of the now somewhat hazy future. How­ ever, for the present, a resolution by each o f us might be that we will strive to live up to the high ideals set before us in the past years, even as Tennyson's knight of old vowed allegiance to ideals o f medieval days: “ Follow the Christ, the King, Live pure, speak true, right wrong, follow the King— Else, wherefore born?” DRIVE CAREFULLY! With vacation days approach­ ing and th season for trips and excursion nearing, it seems a fitting time for each of us to take inventory o f our driving hab­ its. Statistics show that teen­ agers are responsible for a much too high percentage o f traffic accidents over the country, quired for obtaining driver's ioUs accidents and fatalities in­ volving young people appear in newspapers far too frequently fo r any reasonable justification. Why should this situation be true? Certainly jtoung people are not incapable of handling cars efficiently, for they do not have difficulty in passing the re­ quired test fir obtaining driver’s licenses. In many cases where there have been serious casualties in the past, the difficulty has centered around an. irresponsible attitude on the part of careless drivers, and their failure to appreciate their responsibility toward the safety o f the lives of those with­ in their car, as well as occupants o f other cars on the road. Many schools are introducing drivers’ courses as a part of their curriculum, in the hope of training young people to drive efficiently and to build up care­ ful habits of driving to be prac­ ticed at all times. I f the object­ ives o f this type of training are achieved, the future may see a welcome decrease in road fatal­ ities. All in all, it is a serious prob­ lem affecting the lives of every individual, either directly or in­ directly. Is "it asking too much o f each o f us to resolve that in the future we will do everything in our power to exercise utmost care in our driving, and thus share in this important measure fo r public safety? . . . . Final Issue of. Column With this issue we conclude our school column for the current school year. Through the medium of the weekly columns we hope we have been able to give our readers a fair sampling of school life at Cedarville high school with perhaps a bit now and* then on the humorous and philosophical side o f life. We feel that the high school column furnishes an excellent outlook for the beginning journ­ alist’s writings. As a further ob­ jective, we hope that our readers have been able to derive at least a measure of information and en­ joyment from our efforts. We regret to lose six of the members of our journalism class with graduation: Betty Ann Rich­ ards, Vera Thordsen. Gerald Pit- stick, Carol Schwab, Naomi Luse, and Margie Bradfute. Graduation events fo r the sen­ iors will conclude with the Com­ mencement exercises on Wednes­ day evening at the local opera house. Reverend Glenn Copeland o f the Grace Methodist Church o f Springfield will be the commence­ ment speaker. Reverend Copeland has spoken on several occasions in this community following his recent experiences in Berlin and elsewhere in the past-war theater o f Europe, and has a very worth­ while message fo r his audiences. We consider ourselves fortunate in having him for our commence­ ment exercises. . . . C. II. S.

ALOHA! ’Mid branches o f palm trees, and beneath a canopy o f a make- believe starry, blue sky, the jun­ iors held their reception fo r the senior class o f 1949 on Friday evening, ijn the high school audi­ torium ’ A Hawaiian theme was used by the juniors in planning the setting for the annual event. A minature tropical island was featured in the center o f the aud­ itorium, around which the guests danced gracefully to the music furnished by the Elton Dale Or­ chestra o f Miamisburg. The mu­ sicians were seated on the stage, which was decorated in beauti­ ful pastel shades to represent a showboat. Preceding the dance the sen- ioi*s, juniors faculty, and school board members and their wives, were served a delicious three- course dinner arranged by the hosts and -hostesses. A brief program followed the banquet. Richard Williamson, president o f the junior class, gave the welcome, to which Jerry Wil­ burn, senior class president, re­ sponded with a humorous toast. A special number o f the program was the reading o f the Senior Class Prophecy by Janet Hull, written as a surprise to the sen­ iors. Supt. Walter W. Boyer made a few appropriate remarks, and John A. Davis spoke for the Board o f Education expressing Appreciating for the evening’s en­ tertainment. . . . .

Hidden Personalities To play this game, locate in your mind some junior and sen­ ior boys and girls. Now from the members o f these classes pick out all the girls who weigh a- round 100 pounds and are about 5’ 4” tall. Next select all the boys who weigh 165 pounds and stand close to 6 feet tall. I f you see a girl walking through the halls with Peg Brad­ fute and Beth Turnbull, ask her i f she likes Chevies, ball games, cold fudge sundaes, horses,. and drive-in theatre. I f she answers “ yes” to these questions, this may be the fa ir young damsel you are seeking. Now that she has passed the first test, ask her about tudy hall with the seventh grade, play class. I f this poor girl suddenly has a fit of hysteria at this point, he is most likely to be “ the” girl. Now we must be getting close to the answer to our riddle. But to make sure there is no mistake ask the young lady whether she is a new member o f the National Honor Society, and whether she was a candidate fo r Queen of this year’s Valentine Dance. You are right! This personal­ ity is—as you have probably guessed—Rita Corrigan. And now for our boy! Bear in mind that he is customarily seen with a tall blond boy. Ask him if he likes Eddy Arnold, electric guitars, basketball, and girls. If be answers favorably to these questions, we can almost be sure we have found our man. We must munist infiltration” , you know! be very careful, however—“ com­ munist infiltration,” you know! Assuming that tho young man passed the first test, ask him a- bout snobbish, red heads, Ken­ tucky, and Monday mornings, and if he turns purple with rage as each is mentioned, it is almost safe to say that he’s our man. And no\v we are nearing the pay o ff! You may inquire if the candidate plays center field and second base on the baseball team, and finally ask him i f he plays guard on the basketball team. I f he answers “ Yes” to 'a ll these questions, inquire if his name is Melvin. I f he says “ No” , give up—you’ll never find him! But if, however, he answers “Yes” , you may relax, as ‘‘Melvin Tack- StoverHerdIs Highin6 F ForApril Highest average butterfat pro­ ducers in the Greene County pro­ duction testing program last month were thirteen Holstein cows belonging to John D.
