Comic Strip Characters I think nearly everyone has read “ The Bobby-Soxers” in the funny papers, and exclaimed. “ That cartoonist must have some Bobby-Soxers in his own family, fo r his ideas certainly are rea­ listic!” And then there is sure to come the remark, “ They act just like pupils from C. H. S., say— Pat Collier, Jeanne Huston, and JoAnn Sheeley.” What’s more, most o f us C- H. S. teenagers will have to agree that sometimes the cartoonist even hits the “ Jack-Pot" as to what we do! ! In other comic strips also, we can see few characters who wan­ der about C. H. S. halls daily. My typical list o f these would ap­ pear somewhat like the follow­ ing: Myrtle, Patty Davis; Sam­ son, David Lafferty; Little //■ - ner, Abie Vest; Lone Ranger, Turner, Daisy Mae, Marilyn Stewart; Sad Sack, Jack Irvine; Katzenjammer twins, The * Gil- laugh twins; Nancy, Janet Gor­ don; Dick Tracy, Larry Conner; Hot Rod, Roger Collins; Tarzan, Mel Tackett; Jug Head, Jim Par­ ker; and Sparkle-Plenty, Bobbie Mott. Another character on television " whom we believe Don Heidorn could replace, is Howdy-Doody. —-Rosie Miller Ministers Go To Washington Revs. Elvvood Palmer and W. B. Collier, and Drs.

WSJEINSON ; U r g e d b y a s . in e xo r a b le FEAR the man in the canoe paddled with, feverish haste. Down­ stream, always downstream, bito the north, he pointed the nose of the frail craft. A murderer, an out­ law, seeking safety in the un­ known. At noon he stopped and boiled tea. The minute the water was warm he extinguished the fke* Squatting, he munched jerhed meat and sipped his tepid liquid. His eyes, bloodshot, pig* like, kept constant watch of *“ e river. Presently he was once more in the canoe, heading north, driven by the same unrelenting fear. Grad­ ually the trees gave way to shruos and then the shrubs to infrequent clumps of growth. By nightfall he had reached the Barren Lands. The Barren Landsl Far away, north of timber, bleak, desolate, forbidding *An undulating desert of nothing- •/y ,■*>■Y»,-. * . Subconsciously he knew he was starving. The thought brought a wild hysterial laugh to his lips. ness—-of huge boulders and grey moss and little patches of willows nestling in the hollows of the hills. The man beached his canoe, boiled more tea, crawled under the overturned craft and tried to sleep, But his slumber was fitful, broken, despite bis exhausted condition Fatigue, mental torment h a d marked him. For days he had fled. Driven by a vision of the hang­ man’ s noose, driven by the hideous memory of the thing he had done. His food was nearly gone. His canoe had sprung a leak and was poorly patched. His clothing was inadequate against the biting cold of the Arctic wind.. Mosquitoes had made mere existence unbearable. Yet he had kept on and on and on. Fleeing from something he now began to wonder if he canid escape, seeking a refuge whose existence he doubted. Vaguely he hoped to find food, j shelter, warmth and peace. Yet : only vaguely.-Uppermost In his . mind was a single thought. Es­ cape! Flight! At dawn he awoke and set out without breakfast. And now his eyes held a terrified, demon-like look. Utter fhtigue gave him a hide­ ous, fiendish appearance. At noon he stopped and ate sav­ agely, ravenously. An hour later he found that travel by canoe was no longer possible. He abandoned it, made a pack and slung it on his back, staggered ahead on foot. Time passed. How long, the man* had no idea. He awoke with a start, sitting bolt upright, his eyes wildly staring about. But far every di­ rection the land lay bleak and deserted. It was still daylight. The sun stiU hung above the horizon. The man rose and shouldered his pack and stumbled ahead. Throaty mutter- ings came from his lips; there was nothing about the expression in his bloodshot eyes that spoke of sapity or rational thinking. An hour later, involuntarily, he stopped, knelt down near a great rock and opened his pack. Raven­ ously he attacked the- one remain­ ing piece of jerked meat. Subcon­ sciously he knew that he was starv­ ing. The thought brought a wild hysterical laugh to his lips. He staggered to his feet, kicked aside the pack, laughed again and went on, instinctively heading north­ ward—toward what? Night. Daylight. The sun grin­ ning merrily, pale and dim, just above the horizon. The man paused, his head cocked ludicrously. To his ears had come a sound—the dull moaning, the eternal breaking of surf against,a rocky shore. A rasping sob escaped his throat. He lunged ahead, stumbled down an embankment,, stood swaying on a rocky beach, He had reached the end of the Barren Lands, Ahead there was nothing but a grey, un­ limited ocean, dotted by icebergs. Something in the man’s sluggish, exhausted mind stirred. As if for the first time he realized the hope­ lessness of his situation. For a few seconds he remained standing, swaying, then slowly dropped to his knees, throaty mutterings issu­ ing from his lips. He fell forward on his face. Lay still. Dead. And the midnight sun,- hanging there above .the horizon, grinned and leered merrily. The last refuge had claimed another viPliJTL College Placement Bureau Formed Recognizing that placement of its graduates is an important function o f the .modern college, Cedarville College has organ­ ized a placement bureau, headed by Dean Gilbert B. Dodd. The college believes that it has a responsibility in seeking or re­ cruiting good students, and in placing them after their train­ ing has been completed. Dean Dodd has announced that all seniors and certificate candidates may register with the Cedarville College Place­ ment -Bureau, and should fill out the prospectus blanks and submit good photographs. Place­ ment in a position is not guar­ anteed, but every effort is made to secure a job for each gradu- -ate. The Bureau will advise ap­ plicants in the preparation of their applications for positions. The Bureau keeps in constant contact with school officials in this section of Ohio, securing data concerning vacancies and the qualifications necessary to fill them. Later the Bureau plans to expand into placement in business and church activi­ ties.
