William J- Donovan, i;.?i, is congratulated by American Cancer Society president Dr. /.'.ion Ochsner of New Orleans on his appointment as nations! cam* p-ign chairman of the 1950 Cancer Crusade. General Donovan, flew York attorney and famed wartime leader Df the OSS, Intelligence and espionage force, will direct the American Cancer Society’s drive for $14,565,000, In accepting the appointment, Donovan issued » cal! for volunteers. He said, *‘The Cancer Crusade offers each of us the .opportunity to $trike back at cancer, The success of our program can mean a future, free of the threat of cancer’s agony and tragedy. Advancement already has been made but our achievement to date must not lessen our zeal to see the fight against cancer fought to complete victory.” On the School Scene .7 Senior Meditations Four years ago I looked for­ ward tq my senior year with grgpt eagerness- From my fresh­ man viewpoint, to be a senior was- about the finest goal obtain­ able. Now having actually achiev­ ed this goal, I must confess that I feel a twinge o f envy for the freshmen of nest year. I wonder if everyone experiences this feel­ ing as th high school days draw to a .close? Doesn’t each senior ■wish secretly that he iqight start a]! gvgtr again ? I should he looking ahead to­ ward next year and the future, but my thoughts turn wistfully backwards? on the happenings and events which have made my school years so enjoyable. Some o f the special events that I will remember are the hay-rides, f roms, dances, parties, basket- all and baseball games, class pfoys, and trpek pjeets. All of these happenings I shall miss greatly, but 1 know I shall miss the average school day most o f all,—the usual day consisting of the bus ride to and from school, the classes, the mingling with schoolmates and teachers. Then I’m sure that no lunch hour in life can offer so much pleasure in such a short time. Yes, we have pur occasional momepts when we poke fug at our school institu­ tion as we did yesterday in our cl#3s-day event, but in reality in future years we will remerber affectionally everything connect­ ed with our high-school life.

There was never any question as to the outcome,''The Indians proptly showed their intent to win the championship by jumping on starting pitcher Haughey for four hits and six runs in the top o f the first, Thq Tribe went down with noth-: ing across in the second but add­ ed another Jn the third, two in the fourth, one in the fifth and three in the sixth. 'Sammy Heathcook showed he way at the plate by going 3 for 4 while Paul (Abie) Vest was close behind with 2 for 4. The Indians had a total of 10 hits and 2 errors.

Mason Roberts Speaks atCollege Convocation Mason Roberts, General Mana­ ger of Frigidaire Division of General Motors maintained two important things young America should be concerned with wdre , the “ Affairs of the Government ■and the Affairs of the Church,” at the Cedarville college convo- - cation April 26. According -to the speaker in . 35 years America has slipped , from the place where 85 -percent o f the eligible voters exercised the right of franchise to a place where less than 45 per cent of the voters exercise this privilege. Unless we do better for practical purposes we have lost the privi­ lege. The “ good” people of the land are no longer represented in the government, instead those who are failures in other occu­ pations are running our govern- ment.Our government can’t con­ tinue to spend more than', its revenue fo r the year. There is no defense against the use of atomic energy to de­ stroy life, but there is a cotrol. Place it in the hands of Christ­ ians. Unfortunately in America' mort than 70 per cent of the popu­ lation attend church only twice a year, Christmas and Easter. Mil­ lions in America never hear the story of Jesus. If you do not feel the need of spiritual values now you will later in life. “America is the last hope of the world.” To he assured that we do not fail the speaker advo­ cated, “Never start the day’s Wok without a prayer,” and “ never finish the day without a prayer.” MoreheadTakes StingOut of YellowJackets The Yellow ' Jackets' -suffered' their second defeat of the season last Saturday as they folded In the late innings to hand the boys from Kentucky.an easy victory.
