THE CARSONIAN OF 1947 f ROBERT L. GARLOCK K Rudolf Zero! UDOLF DIESEL was born in Paris, France, on March 18, 1858. He was a great German engineer and inventor. His education was received at various colleges in France and Germany. In 1886 he secured a position as manager in a refrigeration plant. He worked in this plant till 1890. Two years later he 111oved to Augsburg and it was there that he began working with the internal-combustion engine. This was about 1893. In 1895 he patented the Hrst Diesel engine. The Diesel engine worked much more satisfactorily than the regular internal-combustion engine. The Diesel engine was first publicly exhibited at the Munich Exhibition of 1898. Shortly after the exhibition there was widespread commen-t con- cerning Diesel and his marvelous invention. In 1904. and 1912 Diesel visited America. In the latter year he delivered many lectures to American engineers and engineering colleges. In IQI3 England was facing a drastic situation that meant only war could result.

The British Admiralty summoned Diesel for consultation with English industrialists. Mr. Diesel prepared immediately for 'his trip to England. On September 29th he boarded the Antwerp-Harwich mail steamer Dresden and sailed for England. The following day the Dresdon docked at Harwich and it was dis- covered that Mr. Diesel 'had 'disappeared some- time during the night. Immediately there was an investigation but Mr. Diesel could not be found. This Diesel engine powered many of the ves- sels that landed on the beaches of Normandy, Sicily, japan, and the Pacific Islands. Today the Diesel engine powers -immense construction equipment, is used in rail centers for various purposes, gives power to large industrial plants, and above all is used to generate the electricity tha-t lights American cities. Yes, Diesel well deserves being called one of Germany's greatest engineers and inventors.

If you have, you surely must have experienced that feeling of humbleness and reverence to- ward the won-der and beauty that is nature's. There are other rewards for the lover of the wide open spaces. They are strong bodies, rosy cheeks, and robust health, which come from the fresh air, sunshine, and exercise of the outdoors. The life of Theodore Roosevelt stands as a monument to the outdoors. As a young man he was weak and sickly. His doc-tor advised a change of environment anud Roosevelt went VVest. Ou-t of this vigorous, Western, outdoor life emerged a man whose mind was clear and whose body was strong. Theodore Roosevelt became a peerless leader and went on to become our 26th President. As the Spanish-American War Veterans would say, He was a real Rough Rider. In an ancient Greek legend there was once a powerful giant that even the famed Hercules could not vanquish. Every time he was thrown -to the earth he came back with renewed strength. Hercules at last found his secret. The giant received all his strength by contac-t with the earth. He kept the giant away from the earth by holding 'him in the air and thus finally defeated -him. In many respects we are the same way. Take away the sunshine, fresh air, and the good rich earth and like that Greek giant your chances of survival would be very slim. To make a fully rounded life something other than -these physical aspects must be had. In the sunny fields and quiet streams of the outdoors you find that something. I-t is spiritual con- tentment. There is nothing as near to God as nature. You will find as you travel down the trail of life that the better you learn to appreciate and use -the outdoors, the wider and brighter the trail Will become.

These five words represent the feelings of -the Senior Class of Carson Long Institute. This class, soon to break up, will see each per- son setting out to obtain a position or to further his education. The majority of boys will be worrying abou-t college life and college prob- lems. It is now that every high school student realizes -that college is no longer the proving grounds but ra-ther the parade grounds for the finished product. It is in the years just elapsed -that we have each written a decisive page in our life book. And so now, as we set Ollt for college with the best background known, we must try to go further in our education and grow up to be good citizens. There is another thought portrayed by these live words-that of a college student struggling for his graduation to gain his security. For this security, which is valued so high by so many, men became soldiers overnight to 'fight for'a nation that believes in security for all. Some men, for protecting -this country, will be crippled from injuries they received while in battle. Then -there is another group-those who gave their lives that their children, your children, and my children could enjoy that security -they prized so highly. This security is wrapped around a home with its pleasantries. These pleasantries are revolving around a wife and children, all of them happy for their security. It makes you happy too, -to see your wife and children all united under one roof because you set out to seek security and found it. And so now as we of the Senior Class of Carson Long gather together for the last time to receive our diplomas, we realize that we are just starting in the field of education which will eventually bring us our security. So may these five words remain in our hearts to be practiced through our lives, Seek and Thou Shalt Find.
