Special Assembly Monday A special assembly was held in the high school auidtorium Monday morning. Mr. Dale Sum­ mers and Mr. Don Kenyon pre­ sented the program in the ab­ sence o f Rev. Max Good. Mr, Kenyon led the assembly in singing several songs, ac­ companied by Mr- Summers at the piano. Both gentlemen gave short talks. They encouraged all students to be present •»* the vival services being held at the opera house this week under the sponsorship o f the Cedarville eh” rches. Rev. Palmer opened the pre- gram wtw: * "rul speakers were introduced by Mr. Lewis Lynch. Kev. j a . . . . ___ closed the program, i Pupils Hear Talk On Guidance “ You wiU never be worth two dollars an hour if you treat your leisure hours as though they were ; worth ten cents a dozen” , was X the advjce given to juniors anti t seniors o f Cedarville High bebool, Friday morning by Mr. E. A Schwinn, Field Representative of Miami-Jaecbs Business College of Dayton. In his speech entitled “ Wish­ bone or Backbone*’ , the speaker eifiphasized the fact that many people have a wishbone where they should have a backbone. Young pople o f today should realize that they must be thor­ oughly prepared fo r whatever field o f work they wish to enter. Statistics show that jobs are not as easily gotten today as they were a few years ago, and that there are several applicants for every opening. Only 25f r o f the c persons who received degrees last year have found permament employment. This condition wiU become more acute in the next few years, and thorough train­ ing o f the individual will be In­ creasingly essentiol. The speaker urged high school pupils to give the matter of se­ lecting their vocation serious study, and he named several im­ portant factors to be considered before making a choice. Sports Views Indians Advance In District The Cedarville Indians contin­ ued to move along in district play as- they downed West Mil- ton, 49-43, last Saturday even­ ing. In Wednesday’s opener, the Indians came from behind in the last quarter to defeat a strong Phillipsburg five, 43-32. A t one time, the home crew was 14 points behind the Thunderbolt team, winners o f the Montgomery Coun­ ty league; but by dropping 15 straight points through the hoops in the final quarter, they managed to grab and hold their s]hn lead to the finish. Paul Vest made his second highest score fop one game—.against the ’Bolts —by scoring 28 points fo r Ce* darville* On Saturday night, the Indians came up against a strong West Milton quintet who had also cap­ tured the first-place spot in their „ county league, and came from be­ hind again to register their sec­ ond district win and their twen­ tieth in a row. West Milton held a first-period advantage of 14- 9, but in the second canto the Indians caught fire and rolled a- bead to hold a six-point margin at halftime, 29-23. Except fo r a short lame in the third quarter, ^ Cedarville continued to hold their six-point lead, and captured their second district victory, 49-43. Again Paul Vest was the main drr$s o f the Indian attack, roll­ ing; up 19 tallies to take scoring honors fo r the game. Jim Stewart and Jack Irvine also contribut­ ed greatly to Cedarville’s cause by ..collecting 10 markers each. l&yng topped West Milton with £ 14 - Sp5RB BY QUARTERS: *-*"■* “* S 29 37 40 Milton 14 m 34 43 v I B T ® Wednesday night, the Indians will clash with Mason in the quarter finals o f the tourney at 7 o’clock, while College Corner meets Sabina in the second con­ test, slated fo r 8:20. Snapshots o f W . Milton Game At Warm-up Time: By C. H. S- Fan Oh there come the players from Milton. I’ve heard tnat the two Fox brothers are taller than our players. Even that blonde out there looks taller than Abie —Gosh, watch them make those backward shots under the basket! Milton’s cheering section looks larger than ours, but ’ hat isn't surprising because their school is more than twice as large— Look at their attractive cheer­ leaders. Their timing and rhythm are good—If any more fans come tonight, I don’t know where they’ll put them; people are standing three row3 behind the seats now! Gee, Milton must be a tough team to beat! Game until first-half: Here comes oar starting five: Bo, Donnie, Abie, Melvin, and Jack! Jack still has that bandage on his leg, and Abie went home yesterday morning ilL They must be feeling better though, o r coach wouldn’t let them play. (After two minutes o f play)— Abie’s not hitting yet! That makes three or four that lie's missed now—Jack shoots— good, it’s in— That’s it. Bo! Well, did you see that? He was guard­ ing three men at one time.— There-Mel just stole the ball from the other team. Where’s the guy in front o f us from New Vienna? Did you hear what he just said? N o? Well,- he ,sald that Donnie Heidorn is one o f the best players fo r this height he has ever seen for getting the re­ bounds o ff the bankboard. Our boys have good teamwork in there tonight—and look at that score! It's the first time in the hasn’t been behind at the half! Half until end o f game: I f our team conies up in the last half like they usually do, we’ll he flying fine—Some people from Milton just remarked thafei our boys are tiring. W e don't think so—Abie and Bo must watch their fouls, though-3 each— Goodie! Abie just got another guard him so close as their play­ ers has four fouls on him—There, Abie makes another basket— Come on, Kids, yell that “ victory” loud! For this is the first time in many years that Cedarville has the second game in the District! That score “ Cedarville 49, Milton 43” looks swell up there! And just think neither team had a sub­ stitution through the whole game. Best o f all, we're still in it! Pep Rally Held Before our initial district game with Phillipsburg Wednesday, March 2, CHS students had a pep meeting, Jin; Wisecup was invited to give the pupils an encourging talk abont supporting our team. Our cheerleaders gave forth with the best action o f the year. The toys on the team were coaxed into taking a how, and Mr. Wal­ ker wished them luck and ex­ pressed his hopes fo r the game that night. Judging by comments heard throughout the school, this meet­ ing was the best one to be held thus far.

Two sons were riding w ith ‘ their father— William Davis and Edward Way­ ne Davis, aged 6 and 3 respec­ tively. The dieseled-powered t r a i n bore down upon the car, carry­ ing the wreckage almost a mile down the track before the en- gineman was able to bring the heavy train to a stop.

Mason led at the first quarter stop 16-9 and at the half led 27-24. A t the third quarter the score was 42-39 Mason. In the last quarter Cedarville scor­ ed 16 points to 13 for Mason. At the automatic time out Cedarville led 47-46 and they were never headed again. For Cedarville Paul Vest had 16 points to lead his team follow­ ed closely by Tackett and Stewart with 15 and 11 points respectful­ ly. Vest did a wonderful job con­ trolling both bankboards while “ Bo” Stewart played a beautiful floor game along with Tackett. Tackett fouled out late in the game and his sub Jim Parker put the “ clinkers” on Mason by sinking a corner shot with one minute to play, on Turner, who replaced Irvine in the first quar­ ter chipped in with 6 vital points plus playing a. beautiful defensive game and Don Hiedorn played a good game besides making 5 points. For Mason Hutchinson was the big boy with 21 points fo r night’s high scoring honors. He mad© 8 out o f 9 shots in the first half. In the second half all he could col­ lect was 5 points o ff of Vest who kept knocking the ball away from him. Lakes followed Hut­ chinson with 13 markers.

The Indians were very impressive as they stopped Milton’s fast break and employ­ ed their own tricky handling tac­ tics. The game was unusual as only five men played for each team. 30 points were tallied from the charity line, Milton collecting an uncanny 17 out o f 18 while Ce­ darville collected 13 for' 20. This Is creditable foul shooting in any league. West Milton jumped into an early lead and h.°ld it to the clos­ ing moments of the second half. Cedarville took over at this point andput on one o f the most spec-, tacular performances qf the tournament. The scoring was led by Vest and Irvine while “ B q ” Stewart continuously stole the ball.* Beginning the second half Ce­ darville coasted on their six point margin until mid-way through the fourth quarter when Milton forged to a one point lead. Here Cedarville caught fire again and forged ahead te-the winning six point margin. TKe Indians played a terrific team game. Their passing was without error and their shooting was extra-ordinary. Vest had the men guarding him completely at his mercy as he faked them out o f position fo r an easy lay up. Jack Ix-vine hit the net fo r 5 beautiful push shots from out while “ Bo” net­ ted four fielders and two charity tosses. Tackett connected on 3 fielders and a free throw while Hiedron hit for 3 charity tosses. Karns was high for Milton with fourteen points. He was fol­ lowed by B. Fox who had 12 and Mischler who tallied 8. BOX SCORE: B. F. T. 4 3 5 __ 0 0 0 1 15 1 15 1 11 — 3 0 6 0 2 24 7 65 B- F. ' T. „ 2 0 4 — 5 3 13 — 3 3 9 — 10 1 2 __ 2 1 5 0 0 0 22 8 52 Cedarville p . F.

I f young people stopping out of colleges miss the point tragedy is upon our nation.” Today we must think in terms of existence .and not simply in terms of a vocation. The real question of life is, “ What is God’s plan for my life which is really from Him until He takes it away. Obedience to the will of God is the only way to a successful life. The evangelist continued, “ Sur­ render yourself to God and His' spirit will lead you in truth and. righteousness.” The Bible is God talking. An honest heart and a sane mind will recognize the guidance of God where the Word doesn’ t completely solve his problems. “ If you don’t allow God to use your life you are robbing the program of God,” according to the speaker. ’ HAVE PLAY NIGHT The Y.

She has also been assistant teacher at the Yellow Springs kindergarten. MISS RUTAN PRAISED Miss Edith -Rutan, a Cedar­ ville Collge student teacher in the first grade under Miss Fau- cett at Xenia Central, was teach­ ing writing when the repr- *anta- •tive of the Zaner-Bloser Penman­ ship company came to visit. She was so impressed by the work being done that she took the class papers to be exhibited at the National Convention of Superin­ tendents and Principals at At­ lantic City. Council Talks OfFlashers At Crossings “Discussion and paying bills,” was the answer to the Herald re­ porter’s question about council action at its meeting Monday evening. With the toll of lives increas­ ing alarmisgly, at railroad cross­ ings in town, council discussed previuos plans that had failed because of sufficient votes. A year or more ago the Penn­ sylvania railroad proposed the installation of flasher lights and a- gate *system at Main street, and flashers at Miller- street, Council will ask the railroad to revive the plan. May Find a Sewer Contractor While no contractor has agreed to continue the work o f installa­ tion o f sewers begun many months ago, council has. .reason-, able assurance that a contract may soon be entered into by a re­ liable builder.- EasterSealSaleForCrippled ChildrenGetsUnderWayinCounty .NS.'; rpr'-- ‘ft'A* Tk* Lettei-s containing colorful j seals arrived in the Jamestown and Cedarville community Thurs­ day, max-king the opening of the annual Easter Seal Sale o f the Greene County Chapter o f the Ohio Society fo r Crippled Chil­ dren, Inc. The sale continues un­ til April 9—Easter Sunday. This is the major money-rais­ ing project of the chapter in an effort to obtain funds to finance work, among handicaped chil­ dren of the county the coming year. -- - — - - R. M. Stewax-t, manager of the Criterion, Xenia, is chairman, of the seal sale which is being conducted entirely by mail. With each letter containing seals, an envelope is inclosed in which con­ tributions are to be mailed to the chaptex-. From the proceeds realized from the- seal sale, 7 6r,b is re­ tained by the chapter to carry oix its work in the county the coming year; 15.7 goes to the Ohio Soci­ ety for Crippled Children, with which the local chapter is affil­ iated, and 8.3 is sent to the na­ tional orgaxxization. Officers of the county chapter are Paul M. Shipe, chairman; George D. (Bud) Geyex-, Jr., vice chairman; Miss Margaret Slagle, secretax-y, and John W. Winter, treasurer, all of Xexxia.

One of a family o f 17 children, Rus­ sell is a cerebral palsy victim who has been receiving treatment since the age o f 3 at the Gerebx-al Palsy Treatment center in Col­ umbus. This year’s Easter Seal, which shoxvs a boy triumphantly casting aside his crutches, typi­ fies the progress made by Rus­ sell since treatment was beguix thx-ee years ago. WouldRaise $3,500 for 4-H Improvements A campaign is on to raise $3,- 500 in Greene county for im­ provements of 4-H club work and facilities.
