SOME BEAN, EH DEAN? . . . Edward Nelson, 17, seated, surrounded by books representing four years of college work, chats with F . Champion, dean of the University of Chicago. Nelson is the envy of every col­ lege student who struggles four years to obtain a college sheepskin. In a 30-hour examination, he answered questions equivalent to four years of college, thus excusing him from attending college. The 30-hour exami­ nation was the first of Its kind in collegiate history. Nelson took the examination to enable himself to enter the graduate school at the university. Indian Take The high flying Indians of Ce­ darville high school rolled to a 57-32 vetory over the the Tigers of Jefferson to make their Greene county league record 4-0 and stay in first place tie with Beaver. In the game Friday night on Jefferson’s big, new, floor, the Indians were out in front at the end of the first quarter 12-2 and took the first half handily 24-10. In the third period the Indians really poured it on as they hit the nets for IS points in the 8 minute stretch. At the end of the third period, the locals were on the long end of the 42-18 count. Mel Tacket paced the Indians with 19 points while playing just slightly over three quarters as he was consistently on the loose while the Tigers consentrated on ' stopping the Indians' top point ; getter, Paul Vest. However, Vest dumped in 16 markers and missed several *nu~l Jt«- us­ ually roils them in regularly. In other league games FViday night, Beaver kept pace with the Indians by winning a t Spring Spring Valley, Silvercreek sur­ prised Bellbrook with a 43-29 lacing and Boss finally won by heating Bryan 40-24.

For some are good and some are bad, While some are but a down-right pest. Let’s take that one of “hasty speech’’; Now it’s a very deadly foe; FoY when one’s temper starts to boil, I t’s best to go a wee bit slow. Those trai.s of ’ove and loyalty Are good and pleasant to behold; They ear.’t be nicm’rized from the page* Nor traded, given, bought, or sold. A little “this”, a little “that” ; Make you and me just what we are; Ar.d though we falter ’long the way, We “hitch our wagons to a star.” (The above poem was written’ by Glenna, Nance, and represents her (^juributlon to, the rtcVmiaailon fn Journalism.) “ Sophomore Class Conducts Chapel An interesting Chapel program was presented by the sophomorlx class Monday, in which the theme “Patriotism” wa3 cdWried Ipnt. Stanley Abels, president of the class, Jed the devotional service. A special musical number was a piar.o duet by Joan Hammon and Jane avis. The history of the flag was given by Sammy Le- master, who also led the student body in the pledge to the flag. The poem, “Your Flag and My Flag,” written by Wilber D. Nes- bit, a former Cedarville man, was read by Joyce Woods. The assem­ bly then sang our National An­ them, Guest speaker for the occa­ sion was Professor C. W« Steele, who was introduced by Walker Williamson. He spoke on the text “What have they seen in thine house?” and he gave it twenti­ eth century application: “What will yon build in youivhouse?” In developing his talk, Mr, Steele stressed the point that race and environment need not he a handicap to individual suc­ cess. He used several concrete illustrations, naming several great leaders who have become famous in their fields in spite of adverse circumstances in early life: George Washington Carver, the great negro scientist, made many contributions to the futqrp. Among other things, he discover? ed how to get 300 useful pro? ducts from peanuts, and 100 pro? ducts from sweet potatoes. Other examples of great lead­ ers given were those of Dorothea Dix, outstanding worker in tbo social field; and Richard Wright* famous Negro writer. In conclusion, the speaker quot­ ed these words from George Washington: “Labor to keep a? live in your breast that little spark of celestial fire called con* science.” Professor Steele, who is a re­ tired teacher, devoted sixty-four years to teaching in Cedarville College.

BondSales InGreene Exceed1948 Judge Frank L. Johnson (Greene), county savings bond chairman announced that Greene was one of the 32 Ohio counties in which more series E U. S. Savings bonds were sold than in 1948.’The state also exceeded its 1948 sales. The chairman^ in making a year-end report said December sales of $142,163 brought county totals up to $1,099,651 for the year. Sales during 1948 were $826,286. Of the 32 counties in which a greater dollar volume in bonds was purchased during 1949, the county ranked third, with Geauga and Vinton ranking first and second respectively.

Gelbach, state Volunteer chair­ man, announced that total Ohio sales of E bonds during Decem­ ber amounted to $17,656,441, •bringing the year’s to tals to $242,409,531.

Corn growers in the county have cooperated almost 100 per cent with their PMA township committeemen in the survey con­ ducted recently to obtain reports of coi’n acreage in the last three years, Mr. Mason said. Persons owning or operating farms which produced corn in 1947, 1948, or 1949 are asked to contact the county BMA office if they have not provided their committee- men with corn acreage data for those years. Allotments are important, ac­ cording to Mr. Mason, because the new price support law directs that price supports on the 1950 crop be set a t 90 per cent of parity to cooperators.

On Saturday night the Indians have' a little out of the league unfinished business to take care of when London, will bring their- team to the local court. The home court should be of some advantage to the Indians in their quest for their fifth league win against the Vikings tonight, but next Friday th&y^mjisfc face the Spartans -of Spring Valley on the latter’s home court where they are are always dangerous. The Indians hold non-league wins over both by decisive margins. The home floor of the Bellbrook Eagles may yet play an import­ ant part in the league race.
