UM Jima., Girls and boys and teachers study history to learn about the past. Looking backward into the past is llke looking into the mirror in an automobile. It gives the glance backward so we can go forward, turn right or left, and avoid accidents. It helps us live in the present. If one of us were to enter Ball Memorial Hospital or any hospital the first thing the hos- pltal staff would do would be to take the history of the case. The doctors and nurses must know the history of your case ln order to prescribe what you need. So lt is with our state and nation. If we are to help our country to'the best of our ability, then we must have a true knowledge 'cf its history ln order to suggest the proper remedy. As we study history we learn about Perlcles, about Sm Francis, Erasmus, George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. We learn about their personality traits and characters. ' We know they did great deeds and were successful for definite reasons. They are examples to follow and too they teach us mistakes to avoid. World history gives us a world point of view, helps us under- stand and appreciate distant peo- . Our brothers and places friends and sons are in far understand them they cross over the thres- day we will be ples and away places. To when hold able to listen to them, talk with their talk more again some them, and enJcy if we have traveled through his- tory and geography to learn about these faraway places and peoples. In a future year when peace shall -come we can go to Europe or Indla cr China and our trip will mean 'eo much more when we know facts and interesting things about these places. Yes, history stret- ches our minds. It helps us co- operate and work for thatd one world, that better, happier, more secure tomorrow. . we want to be good citizens, citizens who vote. If we vote wisely, we will have, to1 know aboutthe problems and issues that -concern us all. Social science teaches us about these. From history we learn about freedom, democracy, and respect for the individual. As we learn about the deeds, the music, the art, and the writings of our country 'we are proud of the accomplish- ments and determine to reduce the number of mistakes. We shall ac- centuate the positive and elimi- nate the negative. lay history ever serve as a lamp to light our .lays .- L1 ...-q- no God, save us from being the bcaster and the bully and the angered and the self seekerln pad Cross five Just as important as the Red Cross care for the wounded is its work for those behind the lines, men who are going in or out of battle, and men in noncombatant jobs. The American Red Cross is now operating Um Wtrainmobiles,H- converted railway cars which fol- ,low the troops as far as the lines permit. Your Red Cross in 1t's great humanitarian work goes to the battle fronts, to enemy prison camps, to lonely outposts and to hospitals for the wounded. Your Red Cross gifts bring to your sons in distant lands a cheering word, a cup of American coffee, and assistance in time of trouble. Also too, from your Red Cross to world battlefields goes blood plasma to retain life in a badly wounded boy: surgical dressings to bind his hurts. NThe Red Gross is great U cause it reflects and is sustain- ed by an idea that is lodged in the consciousness of all people. That idea is the dignity of man, and the responsibility of all society toward its individual membersu was the statement of Basil 0'Conner, Chairman of the American National Red Gross. To keep the Red Cross at HIS side is the personal responsibil- ity of each American--for the American people are Rm Red Cross! March 5-6 was the date set for the Red Cross drive at Eaton High School.

Spring is in the air again-- Sprlng, that's the season when a young man's fancys lightly turn-- he Ag. Department is really bringing the honors to old Eaton: more power to them--How's about that waste paper on the floor of the assembly: Yes, those rows on south sldeg--namely the seventh and eighth grades.--Sure would have been nice if Central could have gone to the state tourney.-- From the report I guess they did their best, but that wasn't good enough.--Now that we can get cut- doors again, don't forget to be careful about accidents on the school grounds.---Remember we had some bad ones last fall.--Just think, a short four more weeks of school.---Might not be a bad idea to check those grades again. ----- - You know anyone can start a race but it takes lots of courage to finish one.--You know that odor in the library has served its purpose.--Don't get me wrongg the library is to be used for a lib- rary and not for a loaflng Joint- See you again- --------- - 1 cftyyyml ,ta - It's like Wanda without Lavon, a hamburger without a coke, our teachers without their noon cof- fee, or' a dance without jitter- bugs. It's Room 19 without Gov- ernment class!! Every semester students have done meritorious work in Room 19 in Commercial Arithmetic, Latin and Government. A comparitively number of pupils are assem- to show their sympathy for large bled their beloved Room 19. Of course, everyone is upset about it. Wou1dn't you be hop- ping mad if your favorite room had been snatched from right un- der your nose by cld man weather? When you flnally nonchalantly mention to lr. Gibson the fact that it needs replastering so the rain won't drop on one's shoulder his face shows as much under- standing as the Sphinx. why, he's been here two years and the ceiling hasn't fallen yet!

rq0nu l4GV'O 'S E THE REASON LIHY K we Lest Tho Sectional 1 By Jane Norrick Dot, dot, dot, dash! The cat's out of the bag! Here is the solu- tion--the real reason that we dldn't win the sectional. Flash! New creations direct from Paris! Via Norway! The popular color trend in March is purple and gold!!! Upon their arrival, girls were screaming, boys yelling,--WSave one for me,W WI want one too.WThe faculty, acting as the well known traffic coppers, rushed to the scene in the upper hall! People crowded around Coach Hall as if he actually had a car- load of T-bone steaks or two pounds of butter for sale. In- stead, much to my chagrin--for I was rushing with-the rest of the mob--he was only selling 'beanies' made up in the school's colors! Yes, all three styles were par- ading around through the halls and in the class rooms atop the skulls of little boys, big boys, little girls, big girls, seniors and fire graders alike! I never saw such a profusion of colors in what started out -as just an ordinary school day in my life!!! First, there was the 'sailor' --gold with purple tassels and num- erals which was worn by some .et a haughty angle over one eye, and precariously on of the cranium. by others, hung the back portion Next came the 'high-schoolersW type known among as the Wjeep hat.W This Wjeep hat' resembles the jockey hat in that it has a tipped -bill and is topped with a sauoey button. It was quite a favorite with the ladies since they could cast an irresistable glance toward the fellows in the study hall, while being shielded by its ,perky bill. Need1esE4to- say, this camouflaging device was not appreciated by the faculty. Younger students selected the Wbes ie to help the express their enthusiasm for the local high school quintet in the sec- t1Ona1e Now, why weren't these fine bits of beautifying array ra- tioned? le all wanted one! Why don't you suppose the 'yen' for the team to win was just as great and ardent in Gurvls Conner as in Barbara Cochran? But, then I realize Coach Hall just d1dn't have the time nor the rigorous health necessary to run up to Washington ,on the crowded trains and discuss this' w1th'a 0.P.A. Director Bowled. Since the supply of hats was sc inadequate to ihe fCon't top of next column! . demand, our morale was low!

The Library has been greatly improved this year by the addi- tion of several new books--both fiction and non-fiction. Nom stu- dents oan findpleasure in reading some of the current war stories along with several current novelm At present 95 new books have been addednojmwhloh 18 havebeen bought with profits on English workbooks accumulated from the fines. The Library is and money payment of also well-stocked with various magazines, which are the most popular of 'L1fe,W WSeventeen,W and 'Readers' Dlgest.W There are now 19 current magazines on the shelves. with all of the reference books, our Library provides much help to those who seek various types of information. Approxi- mately 140 volumes have been re- bound by the Hickman Bindery in North Manchester. Consequently, the bright new covers have ln- oreased the popularity of these books. They have been brought back to life--so to speak. Those students .who act as ll- brarians receive training and ex- perlence in this field. They learn to work with our best sources of knowledge--books, and help others find this knowledge. Our Library is greatly appreci- ated now, and there are many pos- sibilities for its future growth.

Thorns to those 'little city nparrows in brown business suits zalking the day over on a branch nf the tree at the corner of the mssembly. It is so distracting zo one's mind, one is not able to :oncentrate on one's studies. Orchids to all the spring ro- kancers sitting on pink clouds gazing at the stars, the spend- mrift jewelry of evening. k Thorns to the Senior boys who ried to steal some pictures for he yearbook from Mary Jane Cox. pow, llr.

Mr. Gibson is very careful to make an explicit distinction be- tween a four-legged deer and a two-legged dear when teaching his Junior History Class. Wonder why he thought our Junior boys might confuse 'deer' and 'dear'!! Why! This is the twentieth century, Sir!!! Did you know that Miss Cochran is trying to teach ababy advanced algebra??? She is sure having a great time of it. Goo Goo, Norvallj Say, is Mr. Gibson really a teacher of history and Latin or home economics? if you want to foods and 'make ure' just visit Class! From what has taken place in physics class, one might wonder about the I.Q. of certain stu- dents. Karl, the contour of the land is geography, not photogra- phy!--a senior at that!

Have you noticed every time the fleet comes in Rosemary H.' misses- a day or two of school, but we don't blame you, Rosy, 1t's worth being absent one or two days at least.

Did you notice the acrobatic work per- formed at the high school tourna- ment??

Heap big JOKE!!!!!! llargaret Collins, !fyou're go- ing to tell a Joke, please get it straight. How can we get the point if you 'muddle' the Joke? Have you heard the latest?-- Dave Riebeling sleeps with the cats!! up M., Gi Wow ww wry Q. -Y.'sLS Have you sown your sweet.peae yet? Have you walked under s ladder lately? Have you come to the decision 'March Comes in Like a Lion' land we hope it goes out like a lambl? If so, you may store your red flannele till next W1ntBre - Many of 'our stately elders have clung to this superstition devoutedly but youth ponders over it with a skeptical look. Dust- -ing off the World Almanac, there- in is found a paragraph on tha .winter of '56' when it was 20 de- grees below zero the last of Feb- ruary and the first of March. -It happened once: it could happen again!!! ' So perhaps, if given time, our new, youthful, generation will eventually overpower this phen- omenal idea and let Mother Nature swing the seasons just as she plans them, regardless of the climatic atmosphere wh1oh.happens to prevail on March first, second ,or third.
