EIGHTH GRADE HISTORY Peeking through the keyhole are lO8 bewildered eighth grade students. When we entered the high school building in September, we felt insignificant and useless, but gradually we gained confidence and felt more at home. Under the guidance of our capable and well-liked sponsor, Mr. Penrod, we elected Kyle Miller, president, David Baker, vice-president, and Beverly Gillen, secretary-treasurer. Our class flower is the Carnation, our class colors are blue and silver, and our class motto is By Our Efforts We Hope to Rise. Our class was represented in an auditorium by having a small orchestra made up entirely of eighth-grade students. This shows that our class has a lot of musical talent. We are taking part in intra-mural athletics, Treble Clef Club, band and orchestra. We also think that we have some good basketball material. On the night of November l9, l94l, two bus loads of noisy. students pulled away from in front of the high school building. The occasion was our first eighth grade party. We were going to the Rome City roller rink to spend a couple of hours gliding around on the smooth floor. There were plenty of spills, but no casualties. Going home every student vowed to have another skating party in the near future. Next year as freshmen we will take our place in high school, and we hope that we can go through the last four years of school and leave a good impression upon the minds of the teachers and other students. -Richard DeCamp Page Twenty-nine

Similar contests were held by Rotary Clubs throughout the country. Local winners were: first, Trent Knepper, second, Charles Ralihang and Bill Pollard, third. ln the district contest Trent Knepper placed second winning a silver medal. There is a story told us of a foreign king who 'decreed that his subjects must Work twenty-five hours a day. When he was inform- ed that there were only twenty-four hours in a day, he decreed that they should get up one hour earlier. There may or may not be any foundation to the story, but there have been and are many counterparts. lt is against such dictatorial powers that the present war for the four freedoms is being waged. It was against such dictatorial employers that the modern labor union was formed. Now, through some fault that seems to exist within the labor organization itself, that dictatorial power is exterted, not by those whose money and or- ganizing genius have made the industry poss- ible, not by those who work at the various machines and in the offices, but by some individual known as the labor leader or labor boss. lt is not democratic to have men ruled by one man, who can at will call a strike and whose salary is figured on the number of men he can get and keep on strike. Yet with the. unions organized as they are today, a man at a desk in New York can, merely by asking it, throw a thousand men out of work in Maine or in Louisiana. The Revolution twas fought over no greater an offense against democratic principles. But this is not the only unfair practice in the unions. Not ,long ago some gags in a Chicago musicale were censored because they were about Iohn L. Lewis The people and press roared and the censorship was lifted. The man who laid that censorship is the boss of the biggest union graft in the world. He gets his power from a union based on-of all things-music. The name of the boss is Petrillo -Wames Petrillo. He is the son of Italian immi- grants and was born and educated in the slums of Chicago. Today he is the highest paid union boss in the world. The power vested in this man makes him in his sphere as much of a dictator as Hitler. He is supreme ruler over all members of the union which includes the personnel of all cel- ebrated dance orchestras, theatre conductors, such as Toscanini and Stokowski. No orchestra can play anywhere without his permission. Nor would they dare hold an extra rehearsal without his consent. He even dictates as to who in the orchestra shall play what. President Theodore Roosevelt once said, great corporations exist only because they are created and safeguarded by our institu- tions. It is therefore our right and duty to see to it that they work in harmony with our ins- titutions. Since then, corporations have been forced by law to democratically reveal their internal conditions and publish their financial accounts. An old adage says, Whats sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. Does not Amer- ican industry exist because it also has been created and safeguarded by our institutions? ls it not therefore our right and duty to see that industrial labor unions also work in har- mony With our institutions? Is it not as import- ant that the public be informed regarding internal conditions and financial accounts of labor unions as corporations? If we are willing to stake our political cmd social life on the democratic principles, of, for, and by the people, why shouldn't we insist upon the practice of these same democratic principles in the organization of industry? We are fighting a dictatorial world for the four freedoms, let us see that these same four free- doms be gained for both laborers and capital, and that our industrial structure be established on a fair and democratic foundation. ?Trent Knepper ax: ae wk Fair play in business-it is generally agreed that this is essential to be a success in any profession. But now since we are engaged in a war, it is even more important, since unity and fair play are necessary that We may be- come victorious. Because it is so important, let's try to analyze this topic since it is such a general term. The relations of people in the business world can be grouped in five different cate- gories-as managers, employers, sellers, buy- ers and competitors. Let's take one at a time. First, the manager-his domain is to direct and coordinate operation in production, sales, personnel management, financing, and the like. The responsibility here is to give everyone a square deal and a fair share. Page Thirty
