PM Howard Weber Do you love those sweet and innocent little creatures called calves? Personally I think they rank next to sheep in stupidity and in the trouble they cause. Imagine if you will a brand new calf try- ing to get his first meal and just can't seem to stand up alone or else he has a nervous mother who is continually batting him around with her not so dainty feet. Then I come along and gin work, neighbori myamm and shove the milk swear for go of the in a heap say to myself, WHere's where I be- W so I step in between mama and the ng cow and grasp the little cuss in and proceed to set him on his feet his head close to the place where comes from. I shove and push and as long as five minutes. Then I let little cuss and he generally falls as exhausted as I am. Sometimes there are calves that need to be taught the art of drinking from a pail and these are usually what make me lose my tempen The main point of the whole thing is to make the calf do what you want and not what he does. Sometimes it works if you let the calf suck your fingers and get his head down in the pall where he manages to geta.l1ttle milk If, however, he won't suck your fingers the next best way is to shove his head down into the pail and hold it there. I have never drowned one that way but I've been nearly drowned myself. Well, if you want any additional pointers on teaching a calf to drink,come around some- time and I will be glad to accomodate you. The School of Tomorrow Laurence Lovejoy The school of tomorrow will be something which all children will be proud to attend. The teachers will be taught in college to give high marks instead of low ones. The faculty of the school will all be women ex- cept the gym teacher, There will be no pun- ishment for work not completed and the prin- ciple of the school will give the best ath- lete in the school a prize of one-hundred dollars on his graduation. No boy from a lower grade can date a sen- ior girl, but ifa senior wishes to date some- one in a lower grade, she must accept. The main course in school will be athlet- ics for tnose who wish to enter into them . The Gym teacher will be tall,dark, and hand- somegbuilt something like Tarzan- There will be a rifle range, bowling alleys, pool tables, swimming many other games. The school will be ofglant size and include many acres of ground. There cars running on tracks so pools, tennis courts and will be little students may go to any part of the school grounds they wish to go without walking. In the school there will be served free meals, so the students will not have to go home until they wish to. This school will be the ideal place for the students to have a good time while they are young and able to enjoy it. Trailing Arbutus Joy Lathrop Did you ever go for trailing arbutus on some nice, sunshiny, spring day? It's lots of fun. The arbutus has such a way of hiding under its many leaves that if you don't look carefully you may miss the nicest flowers. Arbutus is so brave that you may find a blossom or two out when the snow is hardly off the ground. It is protected from the frost by its many leaves and it never gets rain enough to come out and show its beauty when it should stay out of sight. Perhaps you know some people who are like trailing arbutus. They seem to be very cuiet and simple but underneath that ouietness and simplicity we may find more good than we had dreamed possible. Some people can't seem to take a hint from the arbutus and keep a few things to themselves. Often we are anxious to hear their ideas and opinions but there are some things which are just as well off under the leaves where no one will bother them. Some people are like arbutus. They seem to bring sunshine and happiness where- ever they go and others are just the oppo- site. They leave you feeling moody and dis- couraged. Let's take a few lessons from this dainty flower and try to make people as glad to find us as they are to find the first spray of trailing arbutus. Breaking A Record Paul Haag A few summers ago I was spending a week end at my grandfather's farm not far from Candor. I had just reac about Jesse Owens' breaking the record for the hundred year dash by running the distance in 9.U seconds. After an excursion into the nearby woo6 lot I began to think how fast that man must have run. Thinking I was a pretty fair run- ner myself, I thought I would try my luck. As I was coming to the edge of the woods, I set my watch so that it would be easier to calculate the time. I estimated that it was about lOO yard: to the house. I crouched in a sprinting start and with the word Ngou from an imaginary starter I was off, running madly. I soon covered half the distance. Glancing down at my watch, I saw that I was far ahead of the time made by Owens, so, confidently, I eased up and took my time the rest of the way. I reached the house and looked at my watch and found that I had run it in ?.5. I had even walked part of the way, I strutted into the house proud as a peacock. I picked up the paper which carried the story of the re- cord breakinp dash, Suddenly the paper dropped and I slumped into the chair. Owens' time was 9.M secondsg ming was P.5 minutes!

If VARSITY TEAMS The basketball season for C.H.S. was the most spectacular ln many years. When C.H.S. was defeated in its first league contest at Spencer the team was not conceeded a chance. But at this point the boys decided to wake up and they won all the remaining league games to tie Spencer for first place. In all but two of the contests C.H.S. came from be- hind to win the game in the last quarter.The championship for the Varsity as well as the Junior Varsity was played with Spencer at Newark Valley before a capacity crowd. The J.V.'s defeated the Spencer J.V.'s by a score of 15 to lu. The Varsity then took the floor and after being outplayed in the first half, tied the score as the final whistle blew. In the overtime period the winning basket was scored. The championship was won by a 31 to 29 score. The C.H.S. football team had one of the most successful seasons in its history. The Candor Grizzlies were unbeaten, unt1ed,and unscored upon. Because of a lack of op- ponents, the latter part of the season was supplemented by soccer,a new game for C.H.S. Of these the team won two, tied one and lost one.

Canoeing At Night Keene Ward A canoe always gives a smooth ride but at night it seems infinitly more so. There is almost no sound except the cuiet dips of the paddle. You glide softly by the dark banks. The moon'sh1nes on the little ripples of the wake and turns them to precious metal. There is nothing quieter or more restful. After you have slipped under numerous overhanging branches out to where the sky is clear again lie on your back,look at the stare and solve the problems of the world. The canoe gives easily to the slightest movement. The little wavelets slap out a gentle rythm on the side and dreams come easily. Lying like thlsghalf awake, and dreaming dreams is more restful ollnl, no War. There ls no sense of than sleep.The only noise is that o f a bull- frog put this merely harmonizes with the night. After several ages slip by the noise of the water falling over the dam warns you that it is nearly time to go home. You take care of the canoe and walk home at peace with the world. There is no Hitler, no Muss- anything except the greatness and kindness of God. What A Trip To Washington Will Mean To Me Ruth Blinn A trip to Washington will mean the reali- zation of one of my dreams, because I have wanted to go there since I was old enough to realize the meaning of patriotism. It will send a thrill of pride through me to be able to stand in the city which is the head- quarters of the government of the greatest democracy ln the world, and say to myself that I am a citizen of that country. I will like to climb to the top of the Washington monumentg I will like to see the Tomb of the Unknown Soldierg I will love visiting every place in Washington which should be known and held sacred by Americans for the parm it played in our history. Es- pecially will I wish to see the Lin coln Me- mor1al,for of all our national heroes,I re- spect and admire Abraham Lincoln seems as though one could find in for a better life just by seeing t tlful memorial and remembering Dat1ence,his kindness, his greatnes a weakness for museums and for thi have a historical value, so Washing a visit to the Smithsonian Institu all I have heard of it,I think I co most. It splration hat beau- L1ncoln's s. I have nge which ton means te. From uld spend several very enjoyable days there,just look- ing and learning. I have a deep desire to see the originals of the Declaration of Independence, and the Constitution. To me, they are nearly as sacred as the Bible. They are the foundation of these United States, and I think they should be held in reverence by every Ameri- can. We should all try to uphold the ideals, standards, and dreams which our forefathers wrapped up ln those two precious documents. They stand between us and dictatorship. From a distance, in thought, Washington seems like a very magical, wonderful place. It has seen so much, witnessed so many lm- Dortant incidents in the making of America. I believe I will come home with an even greater spirit of patriotism and loyalty in my heart,and an even greater desire to serve my country. When Knlghthood Was In Flower P5 Phyllis Richards 'When knighthcod was ln flower' is often referred to as the 'good old days'.Maybe the idea of riding around in armorrnmahorse and assisting damsels in distress is in discard. Clothes, for example, change definitely in style year after year,but fundamentally they are the same. The type of sleeves change in a dress but they are still sleeves. Skirts grow longer or shorter but they are still skirts. And so it should be, I think with knighthood. Men have discarded armor and horseback riding but they needn't discard all the principles of chivalry and courtesy. If there is anything the younger generation needs today land that goes for girls as well ae boys! 1t's some plain courtesy. Not that I would expect my date of the evening to gallop up the front walk,dressed in armor, on a coal black steed, but I would expect him to display a knowledge of good manners. I don't mean, necessarily, using the right spoon at the right time sta banouet, and that sort of thing. What I want ls a fellow who will let a girl precede him through a door, always give up his seat ln a crowded room or bus to a girl, and show the same consideration for an older person that he would for a person his own age. This may sound kind of silly and sissylsh to you boys but you'll notice the knights had no difficulty in getting their women. It might be worth trying. 'Old Maids' Athene Ward When a girl is heard to say that she is going to be an 'old ma1d', I think she means it in a new sense of the word. An old maid is generally thought of as a middle-aged or elderly, unmarried womang a soinster. This 'prim old Puritan' as she might well be called, is very precise, punctillous and particular. S e has to have everything just so. She is stiff, formal, and very strict. An 'old maid' is crotchety, fidgety, and an old fuss-budget! And above all she is very modest. She wouldn't expose a souare inch of her pink and white flesh-especially toalman! Why, she simply loathes, abhors,desp1ses,and ignores men, who to her way of thinking are vile, ill-mannered beasts or brutes. She wouldn't let one touch her for the world Also,she thinks modern young people are pos- ltively indecent, bold, shock1ng,outrageous abominable, atrocious, or anything else very wicked, in their actions. She is always preaching to them on how to be worldly, and is herself a walking encyclopedia, history and geography reference. Now, rather than 'old ma1d', a girl wants to be what 1s known as a 'bachelor gir1?Th1s is an unmarried woman who enjoys the free- life of a bachelor and earns her own living. Sometimes there is a grou of 'modern young maids' Koutgrown modernism? living together in a state of bachelorhood. Congratulations to our Bachelor girls. Long may they flaunt their independent lives and charming faces before the eyes of men.
