' His helpers, though, do change ■to fit into the picture o f the times. For instance, modern com munication has stepped in to as sist Cupid in the prompt delivery o f his February 14 sentiments. In this busy age with urgent du ties on all sides, ljeacly-made sentiments to fit every situation are available to everyone; and if it is a matter of dispatch, that too can be easily arranged. Perhaps the newest service to Cupid was provided by the Western Union fo r Valentine's Day, when they furnished the public with fifteen^ appropriate sentiments for the occasion requiring only choice of jnessage by the sender, and re lieving him of the laborious ef fort required to confine'the large sentiment prompted by the occa sion to the “ ten-word count.” It is not difficult to imagine that as time progresses, Cupid will be able to send his armorous greetings with even greater dis patch, possibly with the improve ment o f the guided missile, or with other, innovations not yet conceived by ingenious man. “ Backward, turn backward, 0 Time, in your flight! Make me a child again, Just for tonight.” This week elementary pupils could say truthfully that they like being in the grades, and I think all high school students would agree. One reason fo r this was evi dent Monday, wit h all the pretty decorations in memory of St. Valentine and our national he roes, Washington and Lincoln. The plan and, color schemes used varied in different rooms. In some there were dainty red hearts with Cupids, silhouettes of colonial men and women posed in heart settings; in other rooms ■Lincoln and Washington’s pro files were used in different colors ivith the usual identifying sym- - bols—axes and red cherries. But there is still another pea- son for this choice: On Tuesday with valentine boxes, exchanges, the first seven grades had parties, and treats. There were valentine candies a’nd decorated cw'kies for all. Miss Trumbo used her own hand-made individual valentine boxes as favors, while Mrs. Reed read a valentine story to her pu pils on this special day. County Tournament Starts The annual Greene County League tournament is in pro gress this week at the Xenia Field House. Each year this meet holds very high inteyest for fans whq have followed their teams throughout the season; it gives them an opportunity to see the the other county fives in action and attracts to the field house many sport fans who aye pot directly connected with any of the county teams, The tournament, which is double elimination as usual, will span seven nights during this week and next. By press time, three nights of play will have been completed. At the time of this writing, the teams have drawn their opponents for the first-round schedule, as follows: Monday night: Beaver vs. Bryan and Spring Valley vs. Jamestown; Wednesday night: Cedarville vs. Bellbrook and Ross vs- Jefferson. The four losers of these games will compete qn Thursday even ing, eliminating twq teams front further play; on Saturday night the four winners will clash for eligibility in the finals. Next week will witness further elimination of teams qn Wednes day, Thursday, and Saturday nights. Witjt the conclusion of these contests, the two top teams o f the meet will advance to the District Tournament. Shqwings made b y " county teams during the current baskets ball sqasop indicate lively compe tition throughput the tournament fo r final honors. SPORTS YIEWS Indians Cqp GCL Crown Ip the mqst important league battle qf the season, the C- H. §. Indians walked away with the Greene County league title. Fri* day night by scalping Beaver to the tune o f 63-44. This win left the Indians undefeated (they have only one defeat this season) in league play, and the full share o f the crown. Had they been de feated by the Beavers Friday night, they would have had to share honors with that team a 3 Beaver had lost one game pre vious to that with Bryan. Cedarville led by a safe margin all the way, although the visit ing teaih crept to within five points o f them—22-17—at the half, and it looked for a while that the Indians would have a tough time of it. A t the end of the third canto, the score was 35- 26, but in the last period the In dians really poured on the steam to tally 28 points while the Bea vers were geting 1 £J. The battle featured the twg highest individual scorers g£ the league, Bob Durnbaugh and Paul Vest; at the end o f the fray Vest finished with 18 markers, while Durnbaugh tallied 9. Durnbaugh was held low chiefly due to the defense guarding o f Bo Stewart, who held him to his second low est score o f the season. This last game leaves Vest with 108 tallies and an average o f 15.4 points for with 106 points and an average of 15»2 a game fo r league play. Vest took scoring honors fo r the evening by racking up 18 points. Other Cedarville players who hit fo r double figures were Jim Stewart who collected 13 tal lies, and Don Heidorn and Don Turner who hit fo r 12 each. Mel vin Tackett captured eight points. Dick Brehm was high man for the Beavers with 15 markers.

Corriganand Purdin were high men for the Indians with 8 tallies each. Harrigan took scoring honors for the Beavers with 7 points.

Pupils Enjoy ^Hamlet” Qn YTednesday the Junior and Senior English ~classes attended the showing- o f the rapvie “Ham let” at Xenia- Lawrence Oliver played the lead, tand he also directed the play. The part of Ophelia, the girl whom Hamlet loved, was ta ken by Jeanne Simmons, a new actress, whose excellent dramatic ability added to her fragile type o f beauty, and enabled her to fill the role very satisfactorily. In the discussion, o f the play held in each of the English classes it developed that there was some difference o f opinion as to wheth er Queen Gertrude knew that the cup o f wine was poisoned and in drinking it deliberately took her own life, o r whether, on the other hand, she was accidently murdered^ Everyone who saw the play a- greed that the performance was excellent. Pupils See Science PictH|e§ February 14 the Chemistry afld Ninth Grade General Science classes ..attended twq mqyieSi ip the auditorium- Continued on Page Two Cedarvile Smashes Bellbrook52-32 After a slow first half the In dians o f Cedarville high school rallied to down a scrappy quin tet from Bellbrook to the tune of 52 to 32. was attributed to poor ball hand ling and continual strteam of missed baskets. It looked rather gloomy on the Cedarville side un til three minutes after the sec ond half started and from there on it was all smiles and vcheers. Vest started the ball rolling with an ov erhead push shot from the side, but Bellbrook came right back. When the smoke cleared the score was notched at nine all. The second quarter was a repeti tion of the first, a basket fo r a basket. To the surprise o f every-' one Bellbrook was still in the thick of things, only leading by one marker. As the second half opened Bellbrook managed to break into the lead by a 20-19 margin. It was here Cedarville decided to play ball and they just couldn’t be denied. In the third quarter the Walkermen threw in 13 points to the opponents 4. The fourth period was disaster- ous fo r Bellbrook fo r Cedarville threw in twenty markers while the boys from Bowersville gath ered only ten. “ Abie” Vest kept his average up with an even twenty points. Turner and Tackett each notched ten markers. Parker, Stewart and Hiedom each had five, five and two points respectively. Jack Irvine has been hampered with an injured knee. * The high scoring Adams was held to a meager six points while his agile team mate McMichael threw in four fielders and four charity tosses for a total o f twelve paints.

Cedrville played their worst game of the season while Wilmington was duplicating the same feat. The game started slowly and never got going. It was a direct reversal of the thrilling game played at Cedarville when the Yellow Jackets won 71-70. After two minutes and thirty- five seconds o f play the score was 0-0. After five minutes and thir ty-seconds the score stood 2-1 with Cedarville on top. Stanley opened the contest with a charity toss followed shortly by Hob ble’s free throw for Wilmington. Blateric put the Jackets ahead again with .his toss from the key but was countered by Daniels two-free throws. Bick opened the scoring from the field after sev en minutes o f play. Things speed ed up somewhat and Townsley tipped in a fielder fo r the Jack ets. Daniels scored twice from the field on two cuts through the center of Cedarville’s zone. Dun lap and Blateric countered with one each on the fast break. The quarter ended with Bick putting the sphere through the hoop bn a lay up. The score stood at 11-8 with Wilmingtcm leading.

And does a new birth of freedom demand sacrifice today ? The speaker concluded by stat ing 300,000 of the nations best "youth gave their lives in the war. I f the same number sacrificed themselves by training to spread the gospel and d e m o c r a c y throughout the world they could overthrow the trend toward totalitarianism. ______ _________ Mr. and Mrs. Wilson W.
