PONT is a name that occupies a unique place in America's in- dustrial history. Few ot-hers have been so long or so intimately linked with our country's de- velopment, or have played so important a part in its growth in war and peace-in panic and boom. Since the establishment -in i8oz of a small gunpowder factory on the banks of the Brandy- wine Creek near VVilmington, Delaware, DuPont powders have played a leading part in prac- tically every great event in our counfrv's his- tory. They helped win the XVest, blasted the right of way for steel rails linking the continent, and served the guns of the .llofziror in its epochnl battle with the .tl-lerrimac. The turn of the century found DuPonts look- ing beyond explosives to the yet broader fields of a newly rising chemical wonderland. Even the cataclysm of the first YVorld VVar failed to halt their plans for chemical expansion. During -the next two decades explosives became, in fact, a subsidiary DuPont interest while new interests, laboratory' born, reached out into industry like the spreading -branches of a tree. There followed a growth and expansion of the DuPont Company to an organization main- taining 83 plan-ts in 25 states, encompassing projects that were to benefit millions in their 'daily way of life. Dye stuffs, viscose rayon yarn, cellophane, photographic film, disinfec- ta-nts, lacquers, automobile finishes, plastics, synthetic rubber, and nylon are seen as only a few of Du.Pont's answers to -the challenge to win for America -her economic independence in a world where self-sufficiency is becoming a national slogan. There are powder blackened DuPonts, white collar DuPon-ts, scientific geniuses, dreamers, hard-headed businessmen, and engineers. These are the men who are giving their all -to make -this industry an instrument of service to America by producing better things for better living . . . through chemistry. 4 l

Education HE advantages of physical educa- tion have been known and used in the armies of the world ever since the Age of Pericles. It was -then, as it is now, an impor- tant factor in building an excellent fighting soldier. Physical education of a soldier con- sists of running and exercising to 'help keep him in condition. In At-hens a good runner was given a high honor for his great work. In the army, today, we have some of the best physical instructors the nation has to offer. They are here to teac-h the soldier just what physical education is about. Upon entering the army, -the recruit is taught what physical education is about. He learns that here he will be made into not just a stronger man, but a soldier that will be able to withstand unbelievable -tasks. He would not be able to perform such tasks if he were not physically lit. His first extensive physical -training starts when he enters basic training. Here he first starts to develop physical fitness and his training does not stop until his day of discharge. Another important use of physical education in the army is its use in our many rehabilitation centers all over the nation. It is here that an injured soldier learns to take the best advantage of the parts of his body that are not injured. Here he finds that physical education helps 'him greatly in rehabilitating himself for civilian life. Many of -the soldiers in our hospitals and homes have taken physical education to keep them- selves in condition. Your son has had training in 'the army man- ner in -this school. This was to help build up his body. In civilian life we need a healthy body to make a living and enjoy ourselves. The physical training our young people receive to- day in our schools and colleges is a great step toward 'happier and better living.

Generally recognized as the fore- most American comedia-n of his day, a star of Mage and screen, VVill Rogers was more than that to his average fellow countryman. He had the God-given power of making people laugh and think at the same time. WVill Rogers was no respecter of persons. He would poke fun at presidents, members of con- gress, and crowned hea-ds. Of course people did not feel hurt over this 'because there was never anything deadly in what he said. During his life-ti111e he had many occupations. In -his early life he was a cowboy. Having knowledge in twirling a rope, in IQOS he be- gan his stage career. In 1914 he joined Zieg- feld's Follies and for years was one of the stars of the Ziegfeld productions. From the stage he went to movies and, up till the time of his 19 Oflicer Candidate Class No. 9 Secretary Junior Class Representative of Senior Liter- ary Society, '46-'47 Dance Committee, ,46-'47 ' 1 H Will Rogers death, he was one of the greatest drawing- cards in movies. Many people believe XVill had no education because of his crude way of speaking. Although both of his parents had Indian blood in them, they were well-to-do. He attended Holsell College and later went to Kemper Military Academy. NVill Rogers was also a popular radio broad- caster, and the newspaper COlLlIIIIl he wrote was read by lllkllly. He traveled practically over the entire civilized world and a large part of the uncivilized worl-d. Will Rogers was also a popular air traveler. On August 15, 1935, while flying over Point Barrow, Alaska, he and WVilev Post, a well- known flyer, crashed. ' IVill Rogers may be dead, but his name will linger on for years to come.
