M. H. s. nuunoc 1947 21 and Curie. These two elements are phos- phorus-32 with a half life of 14.3 days and iodine-130 and-131 with half lines of 12.6 hours and eight days respectively. Radioactive phosphorus has been used in the treatment of polycythemia, the over- activity of the red blood corpuscles, and such neoplastic diseases as different types of leukemia. On the former, radioactive phos- phorus therapy has resulted in the almost complete remission of a vast majority of patients. On the first type of leukemia, therapy produces freedom from X-ray sickness and prolongs life about six months. The treatment of the other form of leu- kemia by P-32 is no better than therapy by X-rays. I-130 and-131 are used in treat- ment of hyperthyroidism and thyroid can- cer. Nearly every patient suffering with hyperthyroidism recovered upon being fed large doses of radioactive iodine. The use of the iodine isotope on thyroid cancer allays the symptoms for awhile. At the present time it can only be stated that radioactive isotopes are curative agents in cases of hyperthyroidism and polycy- themia. One tends to be disappointed by the seeming failure of isotopes in curing can- cer. Cancerous tissue has been shown to contain more amino acid than normal tissue and experiments are being conducted to synthesize amino acid containing radio- active elements. In that way, an entirely new field would be opened in the fight on cancer. The surface of medicinal uses for isotopes has just barely been scratched. On some diseases, isotopes have proved themselves superior to X-ray therapy. The atomic energy power plant is but a practical theory that will be tested in the near future. No one knows how wide this scope is. In fifty years, atomic energy may be obsolete. One can be positive of one fact, science never retreats but always forges ahead. NORMAN WESTON, '48 The National High School Poetry Associa- tion has accepted for publication in its Anthology the following poems written by the Iunior English Class, under the direction of Miss Evans: ODE TO AN ORNITHOPTER You birdlike wonder of the sky Held there, as if by strings of God Who guides and safely brings you home Where man keeps watch through day and night That once again you may fly off, O'er hills which pass beneath your wings Where worry of the toilsome world Is left below and soon forgot. Joi-IN HALL, '48 TREES Oh, you beautiful trees All alone You stand day in, day out Whispering. I wonder what you say About us. Why are you so mournful Ev'ry day? Don't you ever tire? Why not smile? You sway when the wind blows Then you sigh. Now you're coated with ice, Weighted down. Now, you giants, speak up For yourselves. LENA THEBARGE, '48 THE TREE What dost thou do, O tree? Why dost thou shed thy leaves? Why dost thou delight to revel in mock Solemnity on the weakness of the human race Or reach thy leafless arms in supplication To that God who seems so near? NORMAN WESTON, '48 TREES The weather-beaten trees their silhouette I see Against the still snow-covered face Of earth's own woven robe of White. Next spring when weather's warm again, The buds will come once more in green To clothe the trees throughout the summer months. WILLIAM KENNEDY, '48
