We stopped in Portland to wait for the oth- er buses and to change drivers. After that we traveled all night, with the ex- ception of two stops-one at Auburn, Mass., the other in New Haven, Conn. We arrived at the Shelton Hotel in New York at 6:30 a m.g we were as- signed to our rooms to rest and to eat. After breakfast, we went to the R. C. A. Observation Tower, where we saw a wonderful view of New York City. From there we went to Radio City Mu- sic Hall to see the famous Rockettes and the movie Rose Marie . In the after- noon we took a sight-seeing tour, the Circle line around Manhatten Island. The most impressive things on the boat ride were the United Nations Buildings and the Statue of Liberty. After the boat ride, we returned to the hotel. In the early evening we visited Times Square and the Empire State Building. Sunday morning at 8:00 we left for York, Pa. We stopped at Independence Hall to see the Liberty Bell and the Chamber where the first Continental Congress met. Then we went to Valley Forge where we visited the house in which Washington stayed and the huts of his soldiers. In the Amish Section we passed about eleven horses and bug- gies. That evening we stayed at the Yorktovvne Hotel in York, Pa. Monday morning we left for Virginia. Here we toured the battlefields of Get- tysburg. Then we went to the building where the Electric Map is located. Af- ter dining at the Francis Scott Key Ho- tel, we left for the Skyline Drive. We arrived at New Market, Va, in time for a delicious meal of southern fried chick- en. Then we toured the Endless Cav- erns. Tuesday morning we started for Washington. Our first stop was the Arlington National Cemetery where we saw the Changing of the Guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Mt. Vernon was one of the most impressive places we visited. Tuesday afternoon we went to the George Washington Ma- sonic Memorial. Wednesday morning we started our sight-seeing in Washington with a tour through the Bureau of Printing and En- graving, the Archives Building, the F. B. I. Building, Lincoln Memorial and Jefferson Memorial. In the afternoon we went to Annapolis to watch the Ca- dets parade. That night we rode by the Lincoln Memorial again, went to the top of the Washington Monument in the elevator, and visited the Congressional Library, which is as beautiful as the Capitol. Thursday morning we went to the zoo and the National Cathedral. When we reached the White House it was raining. In the afternoon we had a chance to climb the Washington Monument and visit the Smithsonian Institute. The next morning we started for New York, which we reached late in the af- ternoon. We had time to eat, see the Perry Como show, and the Barnum Kz Bailey Circus. At 12 o'clock we started the long ride home, arriving in Nor- way about 11:30. On behalf of the Senior Class I want to thank our chaperones, Mr. and Mrs. Rowe and Mrs. Greenleaf, and the bus driver, Mr. Mason, for making our trip so enjoyable. -Nancy Ann Bradbury, '54 E THE CADUCEUS ' in in vw v M ern 2 Livmuln Mu-norid b V .

The organization is eight years old and still very effective. It is an association of sixty independent national states, formed by victorious nations of the Second World War to keep the peace that their efforts had won. The supreme goal of the United Nations is to end war. In the United Nations there are six main divisions: the General Assembly, Security Council, Secretariat, Economic and Social Council, Trusteeship Council and International Court of Justice. The General Assembly is the largest of the six divisions. The assembly meets annually and sometimes there are special sessions. A President is elected at each session. The President this year is Madam Vijaya Pandit of India. The Assembly appoints the Secretary General. It considers and approves the United Nations' budget, receives reports from the other divisions and agencies in the United Nations, and makes recommendations for settlement of disputes in cases not handled by the Security Council, which is responsible for maintaining peace and security in the world. It can use force to stop aggression and keep peace. There are eleven members in the Se- curity Council, of which five are perma- nent members: China, France, Great Britain, Russia, and the United States. Each of these Nations supplies one member to the Council. The other six nations are elected for 'two year terms by the General Assembly. Each member has one vote. Usually questions can be decided with a two-thirds majority. There are some decisions that within the majority vote, must include all votes of the permanent nations. Any one of the permanent nations has the right to veto it and the question is discarded. This power of veto has been a big prob- lem to the Security Council. The Secretariat has a permanent staff of three thousand workers who come from all parts of the world. The head of the Secretariat is the Secretary General who is appointed by the Gener- al Assembly for a five-year term. Dag Hammarskjold of Sweden was appoint- ed to this ofiice in April, 1953. The Secretary General has to make an an- nual report to the General Assembly on the work of the organization. The staff is appointed by the Secretary Gen- eral under regulations of the General Assembly. The Economic and Social Council con- sists of eighteen members of the United Nations elected by the General Assem- bly. Each member of the Economic and Social Council may have one repre- sentative. The Trusteeship Council adopts its own rules of procedure, in- cluding the method of selecting its president. The council meets as re- quired in accordance with its rules, which provide for the convening of meetings on the request of a majority of the members. Each member of the Council has one vote. Decisions will be made by a majority of the members. The International Court of Justice is the principal Judicial organ of the Unit- ed Nations. In the United Nations there are many specialized agencies. Here are some of the well-known ones: 1- FAO--Food and Agriculture Or- ganization, established October 16, 1945, to raise nutritional levels and liv- ing standardsg to make improvements in production and distribution of food. 2. UNESCO--United National Edu- THE CADUCEUS 27 cational, Scientific and Cultural Organ- ization, November 4, 1946, was organ- ized to promote collaboration among nations through education, science, and culture in order to further justice. 3. WHO-World Health Organiza- tion, was formed April 7, 1948, to aid attainment by all peoples to the highest possible level of health. Here are some of the problems the United Nations has faced. The Korean War began in June 1950. Less than twenty-four hours after North Korea invaded South Korea, the Security Council met in a special ses- sion calling for a cease fire within twen- ty-four hours. On June 27, it was obvi- ous that the North Koreans were going ahead with the invasion. American air and naval forces were ordered to help South Korea. Within the next twen- ty-four hours, forty-seven nations said that they would send aid. Thus the Korean War became a United Nations project. Now the lighting has stopped after three years, and the prisoner exchange is carried out. India and Pakistan engaged in limited warfare in 1948 to decide which coun- try should control the state of Kashmir. The United Nations obtained a truce early in 1949. It failed. Two more attempts were made and failed. Fin- ally India and Pakistan were persuaded to withdraw their troops from Kashmir and let the people of Kashmir decide which country they wanted to join. People who visit the United Nations in New York City, may think that this is the only place where it functions, but many of the organs hold meetings in other parts of the world. During the past year the United Na- tions gave milk to children in the Bel- gian Congo and opened a library in In- dia. It fought against malaria in Afri- ca and helped Arab refugees in Pales- tine. United Nations experts travel all over the world to help those who are poorly clothed and sick and hungry. -Marilyn Dudley, '57 The United Nations is a world organ- ization which hopes to bring peace to the world. It was organized in 1945 with Hfty member nations whose repre- sentatives helped to write its charter. At that time World War II was being fought-which the League of Nations had failed to stop. The charter mem- bers of this organization hoped to write a charter which would guide the nations to lasting world peace. The United Na- tions is now eight years old and has made much progress in helping coun- tries who have been partially or totally destroyed by war. Its many special- ized agencies and organizations such as UNICEF and UNESCO have done much in the progress of the United Nations. In the United Nations the main parts are the International Court of Justice, the General Assembly, and the Security Council. There are three other main branches in the United Nations. They are the Economic and Social Council, the Secretariat and the Trusteeship Council. These all branch from the General Assembly. From the Econom- ic and Social Council, the General As- sembly, and the Secretariat come UNICEF. This is the United Nationa Interna- tional Children's Emergency Fund, one of the most important of the United Nation's specialized agencies. It, in co- operation with WHO, has examined millions of children for tuberculosis and is fighting the disease by giving them shots. It was organized in 1946 to help feed, clothe, and doctor needy children 28 THE CADUCEUS in lands where war has destroyed homes and the country itself. UNICEF helped seventeen million children in seventy- two different countries last year. Where WHO is for all people, UNICEF is just for children. It is financed by United Nations and voluntary contri- butions. United Nations Educational, Scientif- ic and Cultural Organization, better known as UNESCO, is an organization to forward peace in the different coun- tries by the co-operation of the nations in education, science, and culture. It works through UNESCO commissions in the member nations, which arrange for the nations to exchange teachers, students, and many kinds of craftsmen. Its headquarters are in Paris, France. UNESCO is going to set up five United Nations centers in different parts of the world to train teachers. UNESCO teams have gone to Bolivia, India, the Philippines, Thailand, where WHO, too, is working. It was organized in 1946, about the time UNICEF was organized. World Health Organization, called by many WHO, was founded in 1948, later than UNICEF and UNESCO. Its aim is to better health conditions around the World by a world wide attack on diseas- es. In 1949, April 7, was proclaimed World Health Day. WHO is working to destroy yaws, a tropical disease. in Haiti and Thailand. Before WHO stepped into Guatemala, Costa Rica, and other Central American countries, about three-fourths of their people were suffering from malaria. WHO has cut the :number of malaria cases in half by draining the swamps and spraying the houses with DDT. It has also been working to' destroy yellow fever and ty- phus in the samelands. WHO helps all people, young and old. Its headquart- ers are in Geneva, Switzerland. The Food and Agriculture Organiza- tion has headquarters in Rome, Italy. Its purpose is to expand food production and improve food distribution. FAO sends experts to advise the farmers on methods of farming in general, irriga- tion, and to treat cattle against disease. In Ethiopia, FAO is winning a fight against a disease that has killed one million -cattle a year. In Asia FAO is teaching farmers how to grow more and better crops, and it is also teaching the fishermen how to catch more fish. In India FAO is teaching the farmers how to get more crops with their old-fash- ioned machinery. These are the most widely known of the United Nations' Helping Hands. With these organizations working to help the peoples of unfortunate lands to live better, get the most crops from their land, be healthy and be better educated, this will be a better land in which to live-Thanks to the United Nations. -J. Emily Foster, '57 October 24 was the U. N.'s birthday. The U. N. came into existence on that date in 1945. It is located in New York and occupies three modern buildings in which representatives of sixty member nations work on problems that concern the entire world. The three buildings are: The Secretariat building is thirty-nine stories high. There four thousand secretaries, translators, messengers, clerks, and others keep records, trans- late speeches and prepare for United Nations meetings. The head of the Secretariat is Dag Hammarskjold of Sweden. He has a big job directing the office staff and keeping things going smoothly at the U. N. The second is the General Assembly THE CADUCEUS 29 Building. The front of the building is made of glass and marble. Atop its sloping roof is a copper-covered dome. It has seven bronze doors which Canada gave to the U. N. In the lobby is an information desk and book store. Stairways and elevators lead to the huge auditorium where the General Assembly holds its meetings. The hall is seventy-five feet high. The walls have window-like openings. In this room are newspapermen, translators and radio, and T. V. announcers. The auditorium has six hundred thirty-six seats for the delegates and places for eight hundred visitors. Each seat is equipped with a tiny switch- board, and a set of earphones. On the switchboard are tive buttons, one for each of the five languages spoken in the United Nations. The General Assem- bly needs a big room for its meetings. It is the largest of the U. N. divisions. Each of the sixty Nations belonging to the U. N. may send five representatives to the assembly, but the five representa- tives together may cast only one vote. The third building is the Conference Building. With three divisions-the Security Council, the Trusteeship Coun- cil, and the Social and Economic Coun- cil. The building has a garage for 1,- 500 cars, a fire-fighting squad, a print shop, a cafeteria, and a post oflice. The main part of the building is made up of three big rooms-one for each of the councils. The Security Council meets almost every day. Its big job is to keep world peace. Eleven nations belong to the Council. Nationalist China, France, Russia, Britain, and the United States are the permanent members. Six oth- er Nations are elected by the General Assembly to serve for two-year, terms. Present two-year members are Chile, Greece, Pakistan, Columbia, Denmark, and Lebanon. Turkey, Brazil, and -New Zealand took theiplaceof Chile, Greece, and Pakistan this month. Though 'it is small, it is the most powerful groupf- The Trusteeship Council meets twice a year in January and June, to help nations that cannot exist independently. Other nations take a weak country in trusteeship until it can stand on its own feet again. The Economic and Social Council has are elected by and serve for eighteen members who the General Assembly , three-year terms. They workdfor high- and education er standards of living around the world. ' Henry Cabot Lodge, the chief United States delegate, represents our nation in several branches of the U. N. Besides Lodge, nine other people are serving from the .United States in the General Assembly. They' are: Secretary of State, John Foster Dulles, Governor James Byrnes, Representatives Frances Bolton, James Richard, Archibald Ca- rey, James Zellerback, Henry Ford, Dr. Charles Mayo, and Mrs. Oswald Lord. More women than ever before are attending this year's U. N. General As- sembly session. The present assembly has thirteen member delegates and thirteen alternates. India's Madame Pandit, the president of the Assembly, is the best known. Another of the women leaders is Mad- ame Paul Bastid of France, head of one of the U. N .'s courts. The largest number of . women come from Cuba, which has sent three. Most of the women have served at U. N. meetings before. Several are lawmakers in their own countries and hold government positions. ' ' -Betty Eaton, '57 30 THE CADUCEUS Is the United Nations a success? The United Nations has been organized for only eight years, and that isn't a very long time. Oh, yes, I agree that eight years sounds like a long time, but it is a short time for an organization to settle problems of world peace, to develop friendly terms among all na- tions and to achieve co-operation in the solving of the world's problems. In the eight years that the U. N. has been organized it has done much good, such as sending troops to fight in Korea and WHO IWorld Health Organiza- tionl, which has helped to raise health standards in other parts of the world by sending food, doctors .and nurses to feed people and vaccinate them against the diseases that are prevalent in some of these foreign lands. There is UNESCO. Its duties are reconstruc- tion, education, communication, and cultural changes. Because UNESCO covers a large field of purposes, you can see that this organization must be a strong one. It has done much to maintain world peace. The first line in UNESCO's constitution is Since wars began in the minds of men, it is in the minds of men that the defenses of peace must be constructed. This means that if there is world organiza- tion, we can make this a world of peace instead of a world of war. To solve all its problems, the U. N. is broken into six different groups. These are: A General Assembly, a Security Council, a Secretariat, an Economic and Social Council, a Trusteeship Council, an Intemational Court of Justice. Each group has its work to do to try to keep this a free world, free from war and free from dictatorship. Besides these six main groups there are other specialized Agencies. Some of these are the United Nations Educa- tional, Scientific and Cultural Organiza- tion, International Labor Organization, World Health Organization. -Jeannette Blanchard, '57 Suppose you were at a gathering in your community of people from many different nations of the world. Pretend that they all spoke the same language so that you could understand, that they were people of all ages. This is proba- bly what you would hear: Have you ever heard of WHO, an agency in the United Nations organiza- tion? asks an elderly man from a Cen- tral American country. Do you real- ize what they have done to help my people? Why, in Guatemala and Cos- ta Rica they are fighting a war against insects that cause disease. In Costa Rica alone they have cut malaria cases in half by spraying the houses with DDT and by draining the swamps where the dangerous mosquitoes breed. Why, of course we have heard of it. In my country they are now fighting a battle against yaws-a tropical di- sease, replies ,a man from Thailand. A man from Haiti breaks in, What a coincidence, they are doing the same thing in my country. 'Tm a nurse from Thailand, says one young lady. If it weren't for WHO I probably would be in the same boat as I was before. Besides training nurses, they have tried to help improve the hospitals and check disease. It was UNICEF that helped mother and me, spoke a little boy from India. Yes, said his mother, we were very near starvation when that wonder- ful organization came to help us, and to feed us. It helped me, too, said a teen-age girl from the Philippines. When we THE CADUCEUS 31 had a typhoon, my house was destroyed and UNICEF workers came to help us rebuild. They took care of us be- fore our homes were built, too. A very little boy from Columbia said, They came where I lived and stuck needles in me so I wouldn't get sick from diphtheria and whooping cough. A worker for the U. N. who had just walked in said, I think you may be in- terested in knowing that the UNICEF has provided vaccinations against tuber- culosis for four million children, that four million children have been protect- ed from malaria, and that three million have been fed. UNICEF is a very good organiza- tion, but so is UNESCO, said a woman from Bolivia. They have helped us, India, the Philippines and Thailand, all in the same way. They are training our teachers, and starting schools and libraries. They have helped us to train teach- ers, too, said a man from Egypt and a girl from Mexico at the same time. That is all well and good, said a man from India, but have they done anything for the farmers as the FAO does? They have been teaching us how to use the modern farm machinery. An Ethiopian man said, There has been an epidemic of cattle disease. Now it is practically over, for the FAO has been helping us to control it. In many parts of Asia they are showing farmers how to grow better rice and the fishermen how to catch larger amounts of fish, said a man from China. To end the discussion a teen-ager who has studied the U. N. says, There are many other agencies in the U. N. who help people in backward or helpless countries such as: International Bank for Reconstruction and Development, the International Civil Aviation Organ- ization IICAOJ, the International Trade Organization fITOJ. And then, if I were there I think I would ask you, Is the United Nations a success or a failure? Ask these peo- ple and see what they say. Jean Truman, '57 DESTINATION: UNKNOWN It all started when Mr. X arrived at our naval base on an island in the South Pacitic. Flown in from Russia by one of the fast pursuit planes at the base, no one except Naval Intelligence knew he had arrived. I Hrst saw him in the briefing room at the base, to which we twelve members of the Underwater Demolition Team had been summoned. He was a small man of medium build, about twenty-six years of age, although his small mustache and slightly gray- ing hair made him appear much older. On the desk in front of him was a small black portfolio, and hanging on the wall behind him was a large map which showed a detailed coastal area. Gentlemen, he said, on this map you see a port, shipyard, and the sur- rounding coast. Where this is located and in what country, I am not at liberty to tell you, but, because of its strategic location, this port and the ships inside it must be either badly damaged or completely destroyed. I want tive men who are willing to take a chance on never coming back. I must tell you, though, that this objective is heavily mined and is under constant surveil- lance. This job is too dangerous for me to appoint anyone, so I'm asking for volunteers. For a moment no one moved, then Dave O'Brian, an Irish lad, stood up, I'll go, sir, he said. 32' A THE CADUCEUS After that Johnny Adams, a boy, from Kentucky with red hair and a temw per to match, volunteered. Then I stood up. Count me in,f' I said. Me too, said Joe Thomas, a like- able fellow from Chicago. Bob Ryan, from Illinois, then volunteered. As this made up the five wanted, Mr. X then led the way into a small room, where he gave us our instructions. Three nights later, the five of us ap- proached ,Dock 7 inthe naval yards. Near the end of the pier, waiting for us, was the submarine, Sea Horse . We walked aboard, shook hands with ,the skipper, and were told our gear and bunks were in the bow, near the torpedo room. Since we were all tired and ner- vous, we welcomed the chance to get some rest.,, For my part, I didn't get to sleep until the wee hours of the morning, and I don't think any of the other fellows did, either. That's how keyed up we were! We were going to sabotage some ships we had never seen in a harbor of which we had never heard. We didnot even know where or in what country the ,harbor was located. This, plus a few other little incidentals, didn't exact- ly f'lull us off to slumberland . For four more days we stayed in our little steel-walled prison, the captain surfacing only at night, to avoid being seen. Then, the fourth night, we sur- faced later than usual. We were about one-half mile off shore, and to our right, far. in the distance, a search light cut the sea fog like a knife. . Visibility was very- poor. A, small rubber life raft was hauled on deck and inflated, while we squirmed into our tight-fitting rub- ber suits, and helped each other attach thetoxygen tanksfon our backs. We slipped into the life raft, picked up our paddles, and moved slowly and quietly away from the sub, toward the distant fog-shadowed shore. When we reached a point which we judged to be about opposite the search- light tower, we adjusted our face masks, opened the valve in the side of the raft, and headed for shore. There was a light surf running and as we left the spot, the raft sank slowly behind us. In single file we submerged and swam slowly through W the semi-darkness. Small schools of fish fled at our ap- proach, and occasionally a shark was glimpsed through the blue haze. Be- fore us a great steel torpedo net ma- terialized from the darkness. With the help of a pair of wire cutters, we soon had a small hole in the net. One by one we slipped through. We were in- side the harbor! Here we separated, Johnny Adams and Bob Ryan going in search of mines, while the rest of us headed for the ships, which lay at anchor inside the harbor. Splitting up, we went swiftly and silently to work. Joe Thomas and I were to sabotage the ships' rudders and to attach time-bombs to the ships below the water line, while Dave went into the shallow water under the main pier to set an explosive charge that would demolish the dock and surround- ing area. Joe and I finished our work quickly, and surfaced behind one of the larger ships. Suddenly a searchlight cut the water close to the pier! Shouts came from all directions! Then we heard the broken chattering of a machine gun. We did not have to be told what had happened. One of the guards had eith- er heard or seen Dave at work under the pier, and had spread the alarm. We knew that to wait longer would be to court danger, as the whole base was THE CADUCEUS 33 now alerted. Swiftly we left the an- chorage and headed for the steel torpe- do net. Here we met Bob and Johnny. Knowing that there was nothing more we could do, we left through the hole in the net that we had previously cut, and headed for open sea. We surfaced far out, and swam easi- ly along on the surface of the water. We didn't have long to wait, for soon a long black shape broke the surface about fifty yards seaward. It was the Sea Horse . The forward hatch lift- ed and three men climbed out. They helped us onto the deck and down the hatch. The skipper looked at our re- ports and then at me. Dave-? I nodded. There was nothing else to do. We climbed out of our suits and crawled into our bunks. Mission Accomplished!!! -Kenneth Craib, '56 THE MASTER DETECTIVE AT WORK The detective, Walter Reed, was working against the crime-yellow fev- er. First, I must tell you a little about the detective's life and the history of yellow fever. BACK HISTORY Walter Reed was born in Farmville, Virginia, September 13','1851, the 'son of a Methodist minister. At an early age he showed love of knowledge, force of character, self-control, and sense of honor, which helped him to lead his ex- tremely useful life. In 1866, his family moved to Char- lottesville, Virginia. The next year he entered the University' of Virginia by special permission as he was only six- teen, and got special permission to be given the Doctor of Medicine degree, if he could pass the examinations with- out the full course, as the family could not afford it. In nine monthsihewas graduated third in his class. I -Then he went to a hospital in New York to receive his M. D. 'a' year later. At the age of twenty-two, he was made an inspector of the Board of Health in Brooklyn. - In 1874, he entered the army as a surgeon to have a secure future and to be able to marry Emilie ' Lawrence. The examinations to get into the Army Medical Corps were very dillicult, but in 1875, he passed. On.April 25, 1876, he was married and' left for his station -Camp Apache, Arizona. Here' 'he wasseven hundred miles from a rail- road, got mail once a week, and was the only doctor for miles around. In 1890 he was assigned to duty in Baltimore. While there, he took spe- cial studies on bacteriology at John Hopkins University. Between 1893 and 1900 he studied typhoid' fever in army camps during the Spanish Amer- ican War. One of the conclusions of this was that the common house ily was the typhoid carrier. In 1900 Major Reed, Dr Carroll, Dr. Agramonte, and Dr. Lazear were ap- pointed to investigate acute infectious diseases 'in Cuba. The earliest record of yellow fever says it occurred in Central America in 15963 next, among the Indians of New England in 1618. In 1664 it struck the Island of St. Lucia, where it killed all but eighty-nine of fifteen hundred soldiers. There, also in 1665, it killed all but three hundred of five hundred sailors. It visited first New York in 1668, second, Boston in 1691 and third, Philadelphia in 1695. In two hundred eight years the states were invaded by this villain ninety-five times. From new neighbors did not. This pointed to 34 THE CADUCEUS the thought it could not be carried di- 1793 there were more than 100,000 deaths from it in major cities. In 1793 Philadelphia was stricken with a great epidemic and everyone fled to the coun- try for safety. At that time there were only three physicians for more than six thousand persons ill with the fever. For over two hundred years, learned men searched for clues to prevent this crime of yellow fever. They did not have enough knowledge, so it lived un- molested until the master detectives came along and solved the case. THE FIGHT IS ON Major Reed and his associates decided to sift the evidence that seemed to point to an insect-carrier of the disease at first. Insects, like flies and mosquitoes, had already been convicted of carrying certain other diseases. Another spe- cie of mosquito had been suspected of carrying yellow fever, for there were many clues pointing to it as the guilty party. FIRST CLUE In old reports of epidemics, mosqui- toes were mentioned as very trouble- some. Thus it appears the suspect was always at the scene of the crime. SECOND CLUE Epidemics started in low wet regions or near the docks. As the mosquito breeds in still water, here was another clue -pointing to the suspect as a car- rier of yellow fever. THIRD CLUE People fleeing from low to high, dry, lands often came down with it, but their rectly from one person to another and led many to think the disease must be present in the air of certain districts. FOURTH CLUE Some noticed fever spread in the di- rection of the prevailing wind, thus strengthening the idea it was air-borne. If the winds were quiet, yellow fever stayed in an infested area, but if there was a strong wind, fever broke out in its path. FIFTH CLUE Both mosquitoes and yellow fever are active in hot weather and disappear after a frostg also the spread of yellow fever tallies with the mosquitoes. Walter Reed and his associates decid- ed to investigate this theory of the mos- quito as the suspect. SIXTH CLUE It takes a long time for a house to become infected. Walter Reed suspect- ed the germs to be in the mosquito's stomach and to remain until they are capable of passing on the disease by the mosquito's bite. Thus they discovered that they could only experiment on hu- mans. These volunteers were heroes in the war against disease. FIRST EXPERIMENTS These were made in August, 1900, by eleven people. Only twodeveloped the disease and both recovered. On September 13, 1900, Dr. Lazear was bitten. In five days yellow fever developed and he died later, a true mar- tyr to science. They concluded from these cases that the mosquito is the in- termediate host for the yellow fever parasite. CAMP LAZEAR They built a camp in honor of their dead comrade to carry on their experi- ments. Many American soldiers in Cuba volunteered. In all, thirteen men were infected and the disease developed in ten. Fortunately they recovered and no one else became ill. SUSPECT PROVEN GUILTY As a result of these experiments it was found that yellow fever could be carried from one person to another on- ly by the bite of a female Aedes aegypt THE CADUCEUS 35 mosquito, which has bitten a yellow fever patient in the first three days of his illness, and then kept twelve days before biting a person who has never had yellow feverg Within siii days he would generally come downwith it. ANOTHER SUSPECT A Almost everyone thought ' fomites, that is, excretions of yellow fever pa- tients in clothing, bedding, or other ma- terials, were guilty. Walter Reed and his associates proved them innocent by having two non-immune people sleep in the soiled bedding of people having had yellow fever. It absolutely cleared them. DISINFECTING HOUSES The mosquitoes are caught and taken out, thus the house is perfectly safe in which to live. SENTENCE That the Aedes aegypt is the only carrier of yellow fever was proven by those experiments. This ended the greatest detective story of all times, lasting over two hundred years. The sentence was the words of Walter Reed: The spread of yellow fever can be most effectively controlled by measures di- rected to the destruction of mosquitoes and the protection of the sick against these insects. DEATH OF MASTER DETECTIVE On November 23, 1902, Major Walter Reed died of acute appendicitis. He made the way clear for the saving of his own country from a great plague. We salute him. -Gail Greenleaf, '56 IS IT MARRIAGE?

M Interest has been centered about the Columbia University stamp itself, which' conveys the bicentennial theme of Man's Right to Knowledge and the Free Use Thereoff. But collectors have not neglected the largeynumber of stamps which have been issued togive recognition to other colleges, universi- ties and educators. q The Columbia University stamp, which was issued on January 4, 1954, pictures the Low Memorial Library and the University's Alma Mater Statue, both landmarks of the University. The stamp is printed in the special light blue, which has long been Columbia's dis- tinctive color, and has been issued in the so-called Special Delivery size. Education stamps fall into three general categories: C11 those commem- orating the anniversaries of colleges and universities: C29 those picturing outstanding educators, and 137 those containing educational allegories 'and symbols. 7 A The best known education stamps in U. S. postal history are the five-stamp Educators Issue which comprises so important a part of the Famous Amer- ican Series,'and the three-cent stamp of 1949 commemorating the, two hun- dredth anniversary of the founding of Washington and Lee University. The latter issue is of particular interest in action on the 110,000,000 stamp issue' 36 THE CADUCEUS being the first U. S. sta-mp land the on- ly U. S. stamp other than the Columbia University Issuel to honor an American university, but there are no less than one hundred fifty-one stamps which have been released to commemorate foreign educational institutions. There is a conspicuous absence of the well-known educational institutions on the stamps of Europe and the British Commonwealth. Such schools as the Universities of Paris, Bologna, Berlin, Vienna and Madrid, and such great Commonwealth universities as Oxford, Cambridge, Glasgow, Toronto, McGill, and Melbourne have yet to receive rec- ognition. There are, however, at least thirteen universities and eight other schools and academies which have appeared on Eu- ropean postage. The oldest school is Halle University whose four hundred and fiftieth anniversary was commem- orated by an East German stamp in 1952. Another is the three hundredth anniversary stamp on the Finnish issue of 1940, marking the founding of the University of Helsinki. The oldest European university stamp was issued by Central Lithuania on its postage due issues of 1920, having as its design the facade of the University of Vilna. But perhaps the most interesting stamps in this category are those which have been issued by Estonia and the Soviet Union, honoring the University of Tartu. Oddly enough, Estonia com- memorated the three hundredth anni- versary of its,University with a stamp issued in 1932, and the Russians fol- lowed in 1952 by releasing a stamp to celebrate the one hundred fiftieth an- niversary of that same institution. 1. It is interesting to note that the Sov- iet Union has issued the greatest num- ber of stamps picturing schools and colleges. There have been only nine schools which have appeared on the stamps of the British Commonwealth, and only two of them have been pictured on Do- minion stamps, both having been issued by New Zealand. In 1948 the Univer- sity of Otago was portrayed on a New Zealand issue to commemorate the cen- tenary of the settlement of Otago Pro- vince, and a similar one hundredth an- niversary stamp was issued in 1950 hon- oring the settlement of Canterbury Pro- vince with a picture of Canterbury Uni- versity. One former British Dominion com- memorated its return to colonial status by the issuance of a stamp in 1933. The nation was Newfoundland and the stamp contained a picture of England's Eton College. Newfoundland released another university stamp in 1943 hon- oring Memorial University as part of its regular issue. No list of educators who have achieved philatelic recognition can pre- tend to be complete. Many famous men of education have gained greater reputations in other fields, and have been honored on postage stamps for their non-educational work. Woodrow Wilson, for example, appears in the U. S. Presidential issue as a former Chief Executive, but he was a famous presi- dent of Princeton University. Chaim Weizmann, first President of Israel, who appears on several 1952 and 1953 stamps of that nation, was a great chemist and teacher. A great educator of France, Pierre de,Fredi Coubertin, was honored on three stamps issued by Haiti in 1939,as the father of the mod- ern Olympic games. An English edu- cator, Rowland Hill, has probably been pictured on more stamps than any oth- THE CADUCEUS 37' er non-ruler. Author ofthe penny postal and father of the first postage stamp, portraits of this educator have appeared on issues of Argentina, Bra- zil, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Guate- mala, Liberia, Nicaragua, Paraguay, Portugal, and El Salvador. Four American educators appear on U. S. issues of 1948. These include Moina Michael, founder of the Ameri- can Poppy, a professor at the University of Georgia for twenty-five years, Carrie Chapman Catt, better known for her pioneer work in women's suffrageg sci- entist George Washington Carverg and Methodist Episcopalian missionary Ja- son Lee, founder of the Oregon Insti-- tute, now Williamette University. As far as U. S. stamps are concerned, the most important stamps picturing educators appeared as part of the Fam- ous American set of 1940. The five stamps contained portraits of Horace Mann, Mark Hopkins, Charles W. Eliot, Frances E. Willard and Booker T. Washington. Another American edu- cator was honored in 1942 when a scien- tilic diagram made by Princeton astron- omy professor, Henry Morris Russell, appeared on a Mexican issue. Other countries have honored out- standing educators. Germany issued two stamps in 1940 honoring Emil von Behring, university professor, who dis- covered diphtheria antitoxing German educational reformer Fredrich Wilhelm August Froebel was pictured on a 1949 issue. A Swiss, John Pestalozzi, one of the great pioneers in modern education, appeared on a Swiss semi-postal of 1927 and a commemorative of 1946. Symbolic representations of schools, teachers and students, plus a number of educational allegories, comprise the third category in the story of the edu-g cation of stamps. Most of these stamps are of compara- tively recent issue, and all have been issued by foreign' countries. Turkey released thirteen of them in the 1930's in connection with its educational pro- grams. A group of seven semi-postals picturing a woman school' teacher was issued in 1935 to mark the 12th Con- gress of the Women's International Al- liance, and 'six stamps were released i-n 1938 to commemorate the tenth anni- versary of the reform of the Turkish alphabet, the stamps picturing Presi- dent Ataturk teaching the alphabet to a class. A large number of educational issues have been released by Rumania in re- cent years. A 1947 series of tive semi- postals contained pictures of students reciting, a weaving class, a young ma- chinist, a Rumanian school, and an alle- gory consisting of young students look- ing at a goddess representing educa- tion. In the same year Rumania- is- sued another semi-postal containinga picture of a teacher and schoolasra part of a set to publicize Labor Day. The seventieth anniversary of the death of Karl Marx was commemorated by a Rumanian issue in 1953, showing a teacher and pupils in a physicsclass- room. . Ecuador has also printed a number of stamps in this category, issued in- connection with that country's rcam- paign for adult education. The initials of the National Union of Periodicals and a quill pen appear on five airmail issues of 19465 .a picture of students and a teacher are on another five airmails of 1948, and two airmails of- 1953 picture the Torch of Knowledge- and an aged couple studying the alphabet. - This has been but a 'summary of the story of education and stamps. It ,is a reminder that education, educators and 38 THE CADUCEUS educational institutions have been hon- ored for the work they have done by grateful people and grateful govern- ments. -Roscoe Staples, '56 THE NOISE The wind was blowing fiercely. Sud- denly Sue sat upright in bed. Good Lord. What's the matter? Don't you hear it? Hear what? Have you gone- It was really a spine-tingling sound. Something like a cry of anguish, yet more like metal being rubbed together. I-hear it. Do something. Find out what it is. Don't just sit there, for heaven's sake. For heaven's sake nothing. I'm no coward, but twenty heavens couldn't get me to go scouting around in this storm trying to find out what that is. You can't just sit there. If it's some person- If it's something alive that can sound like that, I don't want to find it. If it's not alive there's nothing to worry about. So let's go to sleep. Come with me. Where? I tell you it's too cold. That wind just about cuts you in half and besides-. I'm not going outdoors, silly. I'm just going to make sure the windows are locked. The two girls crept slowly to the window as if half expecting to find a ghost lurking just outside. They made sure the windows were securely fast- ened, then hurried back to bed. We're being very silly. That was probably just a rusty shutter or some- thing. I suppose you're right, but I know won't get a wink of sleep tonight. The girls slept that night, but their sleep was filled with disturbing night- mares. Nothing was said about the sound and it was almost forgotten. The long battle had been won and Sue had procured the money from her father for a new party dress. Such ar- guments as, that ancient thingg I just can't wear that had finally won out. The girls searched all day trying on what seemed like thousands of dresses and then, armed with their purchases, they arrived at Sue's house. It was decided that Peg should stay for the night. It was a clear, quiet night. Every star shone as if it had recently received a good polishing. The moon smiled down upon the peaceful town. Peggy and Sue, tired and contented, had retired early so that they would have longer to chat about their dresses and decide what they needed to go with them. By the time they had decided what they would wear, from the color of their shoes to their hair style, it was quite late. Then, like a bolt from the blue, that eerie noise vibrated through the air. As goose-bumps appeared, Sue whispered, Oh GOLLY! Same here, gulped Peggy. That was no rusty shutter, cried Sue emphatically. It certainly wasn't, but what was it? I, for one, don't even want to know. I can still feel the chills running up and down my spine. Evidently the whole town suffered a case of chattering teeth and cold chills up and down its spine. It seemed that only a few had actually heard the noise, It THE CADUCEUS M .... -WY . but they had told others about it. Be- cause no one knew what it was, many fantastic stories started their rounds. Most of them were utterly impossible and no one could have believed them, but they added to the general uneasi- ness. One stated that a lunatic was his victims the sounds days that loose and was disposing of in the neighborhood where had been heard. In the passed Sue heard the noise only a few times, but some claimed to have heard it every night. The tension was in- creasing. Crazy rumor kept the town stirred up. People seldom traveled the streets after dark. Then it was decided that something had to be done. A group of men agreed that the next time the noise was heard, they were to meet and, as a group, find it. Nothing was said about what was to be done when the noise had been found. A few nights passed uneventfully. Perhaps, hoped some, whatever it was, was gone. But no such luck, for on a fateful Wednesday night, the noise was again heard. I The men gathered at the appointed meeting place. They all came, not because of courageousness, but because they didn't want to be known .as cowards. Some carried pis- tols, some shotguns, a few had clubs and sticks of wood, and one even car- ried his wife's rolling pin. Cautiously, they started out. A shudder ran through the crowd as the noise again broke the stillness. They crept to- wards the vicinity of the noise. Then there it was. They stood there, eyes popping, jaws dropping down. Then they looked at each other. There, un- aware of the sensation, he had caused, stood Don Rand, struggling to get mel- odious notes from his violin. -Betty Brown, '55 WHAT IS BIOLOGY? 1 Biology, in brief, is the science of life. There are at least two million kindsof living things in the world possessing many features in common. ' Of course this study is so vast that it is impossible for any one man to cover the whole field in detail, so it is broken into divisions-the primary ones of which are botany, the 'science of plant lifeg and zoology, the science of animal life. A A ' Common forms of life are 'easily di- vided into the two great' types, plants and animals, with clear distinguishing characters for each. The differences between plants and animals are: most plants contain chlor- ophyl-a Chemical substance which en- ables the plant to use the energy of sun- light for development and growth- have cell walls made of woody material and, unlike animals, are usually sta- tionary. No true animal contains chlorophyl and for this reason no ani+ mal can manufacture its A own food. Animals must secure their food from plants. A major difference is that ani- mals have a nervous system and plants do not. ' Even with these differences and many others, they have certain characteris- tics in common. In all' forms of life the living substance is protoplasm. Al- though this takes many different forms in different plants and animals, all pro- toplasm is alike. All forms of proto- plasm are subject to physiological re- actions. They are sensitive to being touched' and also to differentvtempera- tures. They all breath, in the sense that they take in oxygen and give off carbon-dioxide. They both' are made up of cells and reproduce by cell divi- sion of one kind or another-A Condi- 40 THE CADUCEUS tions which .are necessary for both plants and animals are sunlight and wa- ter in certain quantities. All living things have a definite structure, the higher the species the more complicated the structure. At its beginning all life consists of a minute cell, filled with more or less protoplasm, in which is a dark spot called the nucleus. . .- In general you have no difficulty in distinguishing an animal from a vege- table, yet some forms so closely resem- ble each other that it is hard to say whether certain peculiar organisms be- long to the vegetable or animal king- dom. Every kind of animal has pecu- liarities that adapt it to live best in some particular placeunder particular condi- tions. Animals depend upon organic matter forgfood, which they get from plants or from other animals. Plants feed upon inorganic matter, and the food is us- ually in a liquid state. Carbonic acid, which is generally poisonous to animals, is an essential food of- plants. The organs of a plant are its roots, stem and leaves. The animals have eyes, a brain, mouth, head, feet- and tail. All animals do.not have all these parts, the same prevails with the plants. .A lot of people do not think biology is important, .but it has been proved that biology is an important part of practically every aspect of modern life. Either directly or indirectly all the ac- tivities of nations and of individuals are related to biology. - Biology is not a modern branch of learning. It is more ancient than his- tory, , English, and algebra. As -our ways of civilized living become more complex, there-is-gan increasing need for a ,broader and- deeper knowledge of bio- logy. In the yearsvtofcome it will be- come still broader -and deeper. Now there is a great demand for people in the biology field because of- the new in- ventions, especially atomic energy. The development of new and large cities has brought .about many new biological problems. The person who has a knowledge of biology finds many uses for this knowl- edge. Biological materials may be found almost ' anywhere. They are found both inside and outside of our homes. Outside .of our homes there may be grasshoppers, snakes, and toads, inside there may- be ants, Iiies and moths. All these are parts of biol- ogy. You can use biology for leisure time. It will prove to be very interesting to note the different things when you go for a hike or a picnic. You will be able to use biology no matter what the sea- son, spring, summer, fall or winter. Photographing animals and plants is also a use of biology. It is also very in- teresting to try to identify animal tracks when you are outdoors. Making collections proves to be very interesting and enjoyable. This will al- so increase your knowledge of wildlife. You can find many biological activi- ties to do indoors as well as outdoors. A scrapbook will enable you to collect all sorts of interesting biological materials. You can also make posters or just in- teresting pictures. Everybody uses biology, including housewives, farmers, and scientists. It proves useful to all walks of life. From the days of the cave men to modern civ- ilization, biology has been used in one sense or another. The cave men didn't know what biology was, but they used it unknowingly. Even today people do not realize that biology is used in al- most everything they do. Today there are many things which are undiscov- THE CADUCEUS 41 ered about biology even though it may seem incredible. There are so many kinds of plants and animals that it may be possible that there are still a lot unknown. When the day comes that people be- gin to visit the planets, biology will still be increased. The increase will practically double the knowledge we now have. So, if you are taking biology, pay at- tention and learn what there is to learn now, because you may be one of those who will go to one of the planets. So prepare yourself now and be waiting for this rocket ship. It will be more inter- esting then. -Evangeline French, '56 SECOND CHANCE It was a bad day, snowing hard, and the sun was trying to peep through a dark veil of clouds shadowing the sky. It was just the kind of day to make Teddy's mind turn back to the past as he hobbled from class to class on his crutches at Dalton High-back to that cold October day which may have been the turning point in his life, a day never to forget, yet impossible to recall all the details, a day which may have spoiled Teddy's longed-for and hoped- for career, the main thing for which Teddy lived, except girls, of course. Let us go back to that day in Octo- ber. The sun was shining and a chilly breeze was blowing. It was the kind of day anyone would choose to go to a football game, especially a game be- tween two rivals as close as Dalton and Thompson were. Yes, there was really a crowd there. Cheerleaders were yelling and everyone was excited. The players came onto the field. First, the black and white, which was Thompson, then the ,green and white for Dalton. Among -them was Teddy, a tall, blonde, not handsome nor cute nor homely, nor the kind of boy you would expect to see in a football uniform on a football field. Yet there he was, and a good player, too. The game started- It was easy for Thompson. One quarter and the score was 6-0 in favor of Thompson. The second quarter and the score was 12-O in favor of Thompson. Then by the end of the third quarter it was a tie, 12-12. The last quarter-Dalton .just had to wing it meant everything to them. Then Teddy had the ball. He didn't know how he got it, but anyway, there it was and he dashed for the finish line twenty yards ahead. Suddenly he was blinded with dark- ness as a heap of boys scrambled to their feet again. But where was the ball? It was over the finish line with Teddy, unconscious, tightly clutching it. Dalton had won the game! When Teddy awoke he saw a white form standing over him and apparently talking to someone. Then darkness again engulfed him. This time when he woke the sun was streaming through the windows of a high, clean room, which he had never seen before. He found himself in a high bed and started to sit up, felt a sharp pain, and fell back onto the bed. A doctor entered the room and he realized he was in a hospital. A nurse came in and talked with the doctor. Then the doctor came to him, and the nurse hurried out. How do you feel? the doctor asked. You have a badly broken leg and must remain quiet. Broken leg? Who won the game? 42 THE CADUCEUS Why, Dalton, of course, with a play- er like you they should. Teddy didn't know then that recovery would take a long time and perhaps he would never be able to play football again. A week went by and Teddy grew steadily better. He received many gifts, flowers, and cards from home, school, and friends. By the middle of the next week he was well enough to go home. It was a slow process to learn to use the crutches, but within six weeks he was back in school. All his friends were willing to help him catch up with his work because, as a senior, he needed the rank to gradu- ate in the spring. Put your books on the floor and get ready for your test. It was Miss Gammon's voice which brought Teddy's mind back to the present time. This was their mid-year's exam and Teddy knew he wouldn't pass, especially in sci- ence, which was his hardest subject. He had never been very brilliant in school and naturally it was diflicult to make up subjects even with the help of all his friends. But he did pass with a C average in science, with two B's and two C's in his other subjects. It was now nearing graduation and Teddy was working hard to pass with an average rank. He wanted to go to college and had saved his money for that purpose. However, not being a member of a wealthy family, this money had to be used for hospital and doctor's bills. Therefore, he knew he must either for- get the idea or work a year or two, then go. By the latter part of January he was getting around without the help of his crutches at home and then slowly the leg was healed enough so that he went to school without them in the middle of February. Of course, he couldn't play in any sports, but he could be manager of the baseball team. The last part of school year passed quickly and happily for Teddy. By now Teddy was again doing average work. Finally the day of graduation came! Speeches were made, diplomas awarded, then the big awards .... The Balfour award-the Babe Ruth Award-and the Reader's Digest Award-the P. T. A. Scholarship. There was a tense mo- ment, and Teddy heard his name called. For a second he couldn't believe his ears. In a daze he walked over to re- ceive the scholarship amid a burst of applause. Now he could go to college! Maybe he couldn't play professional football as he had always hoped, but he could be a good coach. -Jane Cox, '56 ADVERTISING Advertising is generally known as usalesmanship in print . It is the paid use of any channel of communication, such as newspapers, radio, or maga- zines, to identify, explain or urge the use or adoption of a product, service, or idea. These are the technical mean- ings of advertising, but what does ad- vertising mean to you and me and mil- lions of others? Authorities on this subject say that advertising makes more things available to more people at lower cost, and that it helps to create a high standard of living. Others say that it tends to make people buy things they might not want or need and prob- THE CADUCEUS ably cannot aiford. They all agree, however, that the more advertising, the better the quality, the lower the prices, and the broader the market. It also makes it possible for more people to own necessity and luxury products. People who buy things every day do not often stop to wonder why they buy the things they do, why they buy Duz instead of 'fDreft . The answer is in advertising. Advertising appeals to the emotions. Hearing an advertisement repeatedly, you finally become familiar with the article. When you see it on the shelf of a store, you buy it rather than something of which you have nev- er heard. There are many types of advertising. Some of these are: national advertising, which spreads from coast to coastg re- gional advertising, which covers only a few statesg and local advertising, which is carried on by small grocers or large department stores in one locality. There are also many channels of ad- vertising, some of which are: news- papers, serving both national and local, radio, televisiong outdoor advertising, consisting of painted barns, neon signs, and poster panels: and direct mail ad- vertising, acquired through catalogues, folders and letters. Advertising through these many forms is used to influence human minds. A good advertisement must be able to get attention, arouse interest, create desire, and impel action. The ads should contain ideas which appeal to the interests of the reader, and arouse his curiosity. Advertisers do not ad- vertise life insurance as such, but as protection for your family's future . Advertisers have found that the best way to influence people to buy their products is to appeal to their emotional interests through appetite and taste, 43 ambition, beauty, appearance, vanity, pride, fashion, and sympathy. Occa- sionally the advertiser will use the rea- son why appeal, .appealing to our pow- ers of reason through health, safety, economy, and efficiency. 'In-doing this the advertiser tries to give you a good reason why you should buy 1 his 1 product and why it will serve your purpose. if When you buy, you should be well ac- quainted with the essential facts' about the product. You should find out how itis made and of what, what it will do, and how it ranks in quality. These are the important things for which to look. If we all insist on the facts from which we' can make sound judgments to buy wisely, then that is what the advertise- ments will contain. The type of adver- tisement depends on the demands of the consumer. ' 5 -Linda Ashton, '54 .

Two games to go, one with Winslow High and one with Dayton High. The last game was the one to really worry about for now Re- vere and Dayton were running neck and neck. After he had changed to go home and was leaving the gym, some- one layed a hand on his shoulders and in a deep voice said, Kid, can I talk to you for a minute outside? Sure, said Bill, What about? Bill followed them outside to a car parked in back of the gym. Get in, said the man in a deep voice. What? said Bill, much surprised and a little afraid. W Get in, repeated the man in a gruff voice. Bill got in. Kid, I got a proposition to make to you. What kind of proposition? asked Bill. A proposition whereby your family can stay healthy, said the man in the back seat. , What do you mean? asked Bill shakily. We mean we want you to throw the game with Dayton, said the bigger man, and if you don't, you'll be sorry, Kid. Don't forget it, either, said the man beside him, or you'll be sorry. Then he opened the door and mo- tioned him to get out. Bill got out and stood there, still dazed, watching the car speed away. Friday and the game with Winslow High. Bill was nervous during the game. He couldn't hit as he usually did and the easily beaten Winslow High, by the end of the third quarter, was six points ahead. What's the matter with you, Bill, said the coach, Jake Walters, You aren't playing ball at all tonight. I don't know, just nervous, I guess. Well, settle down, boy, said the coach, let's play ball. As Bill went onto the floor he noticed the anxious looks on his teammates' faces. Bill thought, I just can't let them down. Not this time, anyway. He gritted his teeth as the horn sounded that began the last quarter. I can't let them down, thought Bill. The last quarter was a hard played one by both teams, but as the finish drew near Revere called time out . Three min- utes left, said Bill to himself and we're only one point behind. Revere moved the ball down the court quickly. Bob Littlefield from Winslow High stole the ball from Andy and drove down court for a basket. Revere took the ball down court quickly again and tallied on a jump shot by Bill. Revere stole the ball from Winslow and tallied on another set shot by Bill. Time out , for Revere. The score, Revere 52-opponents 51, with 1:52 minutes left to play. Listen, boys, I want you to freeze that ball and don't shoot unless you have a lay-up shot. Do you under- stand? The boys nodded. Less than a minute to go. If we can only hang onto that ball for less than a minute. With just seconds .to go Winslow stole the ball and tried a fast break, which THE CADUCEUS 45 resulted in Bill intercepting a long pass intended for a Winslow man, and tallied on a lay-up at the sound of the horn. Bill decided exactly what to do. He would tell the coach tonight and ask his advice about the two men. The coach told him to tell his parents and let the law handle the whole thing. The police put two watchmen on the house and told him to play ball. The game, which was won by two points by Dayton proved fatal to Re- vere. Bill didn't say so, but he was thankful, for he would not have to wor- ry any more. -Ira Allen, '56 ME AND MY FORD ....

The first test of the week is to be the ever-dreaded geometry test. It is Monday evening and the review was had in class today. Let us take a look at what some of the geometry students are doing. Here's Bill up at the town library. Younger brothers had pes- tered him so that he couldn't study at home. Louis is at home in his room, geometry book in hand.. Mary, Louise, Phil, and Ray are all at Mary's, doing their studying together. Les, who is well known as the class brain is cas- ually looking over his notes. Last of all, let's take a look at George. Well, what is he doing? He's reading the funnies, of course. Why should he study when he and Les sit side by side. Let me try to explain why he should study. More time has passed and George is sitting beside Les as he always is in geometry. Mr. Haines, the teacher, en- ters the room, tests in hand. Everyone has a worried look upon his face-ev- eryone but George, of course. They are given the tests which consist of ten questions each. As the period nears its end, we take a look at George's paper. All of his answers agree with Les'-all but the lirst and last. These George did himself. The papers are passed in and Mr. Haines says these few words before the bell rings, I'm sure that you will all agree when I say that this was a very easy test. Easier for you than it was for me, I think. You see, I made each test a little different. With this clearly registered in George's mind, he shrieked aloud, wak- ening himself. Yes, he had fallen asleep in the chair, funnies in hand. 46 THE CADUCEUS What do you think George immediately did? You guessed it! He took his geometry book and studied for the re- mainder of the evening. After the tests had been taken, cor- rected, and passed back, a look of satis- faction crossed George's face. His score was only 80, but he had earned it himself. -Athea Lariviere, '54 COLUMBUS Columbus discovered America In fourteen ninety-two.

The plans and charts were all prepared But there was still one hitch, The citizens would not invest In Clinton's crazy ditch. They finally secured the funds To begin the digging of earth, While the people who opposed it Stood back and shook with mirth. At first the work went slowly Because of the lack of hands, But the project was soon speedetl By men from foreign lands. They dug as fast as possible Through marsh and solid rocks, And on the steep and rough terrain They put in many locks. At last the work was finished, Clinton's Ditch was here. The day had finally arrived To give DeWitt a cheer. -George Dunn, '55 PROBLEMS OF PEACE AND WAR Like the physicians who cannot pre- vent diseases until they discover the cause of them, statesmen cannot pre- vent wars until they understand why nations fight nations. Many of the direct causes of war can be listed or grouped under psychologi- cal, political and economic. There are many men still living and many who have died trying to conquer other lands. They are men who are not satisfied with what they have, they must rule an empire. They teach the young the necessity of war and then the children read books of war heroes and are thrilled and ambitious for mili- tary life. There are some dictators who wish to glorify themselves. Their very ex- istence and ruling of the people depends upon the army. To fulfill their great promises they take territory by force as Hitler did in Austria. Many countries that are backward and unable to protect themselves are basic causes of war. Many wars in Europe were started because of the dif- ferent countries, which couldn't protect themselves. These are only a few of the many causes for war, but what is the advan- tage of war? What profit does a coun- try get out of going to war? The only ones that really enjoy the profit are manufacturers of war materials. Even if the country does win the war, it may gain only a few more colonies. But then, there is the time when the war is over, the sad news of the wounded and the dead. Let us look at the effects of World War I. These are some of the figures. The 27 nations at war had mobilized some sixty-six billion men. Of these, THE CADUCEUS' over half were casualties which -were di- vided as follows: 8,500,000 were killed in battle, or died from wounds or di- seases. Twenty-one million, two hun- dred thousand men were wounded, seven million, se.ven hundred and fifty thousand were T-taken prisoners, or were missing. V These figures do not tell of the pain- and suffering of men who were wound- ed or gassed. They do not show the grief of the family whose sons were killed in action. And then there was all the money that was wasted. The total cost of war to all nations was four hundred billion dollars. And after all this what did the countries that started the war gain? Nothing, the fact is they lost what they had. The money that was used was really wasted. It brought nothing of value to the people of the warring countries. These figures are for only one war of the many there have been. Besides the heavy cost and the dead, war des- troys natural resources, property, and creates higher taxes. One other thing about war, one war often leads to anoth- er. It doesn't really settle anything. Among these nations which want to iight, there are some who want peace. These nations are continually working on methods of preventing wars. One proposed method was that the nations of the world might internationalize their air forces, then their fleets and then create an international marine force. But there isn't enough trust or co-operation among the nations to do this. The United Nations, which groups together sixty nations of the world, is an effective organization. It helps to set- tle problems of the different countries and to bring them together. Another proposed method of peace to promote brotherhood among the na- 47 tions of the' world is the International House in Chicago. More than a thous- and graduates, both foreign and Amer- ican, go there every year. Here, through educational and social activi- ties, they learn to know and understand each other. The motto of the Inter- national House symbolizes the spirit of the institution' and is one that could be adopted by all-the nationsg That Broth- erhood May Prevail . -Richard Dyer, '54 l THE SEASONS What's your favorite season?

At the close of the nine- teenth century, when the close rela- tionship between production and con- sumption disappeared, many new prob- lems arose dealing with consumer wel- fare. Intelligent purchasing became difficult because of the large array of goods to buy. Sharp competition for trade caused producers and sellers to introduce carefully planned advertise- ments which, in most cases, only con- fused the consumer. With production soaring to great heights, the average consumer became aware that he was getting quantity instead of quality in his goods. At the end of the nineteenth century, consumers began to use their purchas- ing power to improve the working con- ditions of labor. The first Consumer's League organized on a national scale was founded in 1899. New attitudes toward home problems led to the found- ing of the American Home Economics Association in 1908. Today the Bureau of Home Economics is a branch of the Department of Agriculture, and is con- stantly doing research in nutrition. Closely connected with this bureau is the publication of the Consumer's Guide, a semi-monthly bulletin which gives general information concerning sound buying techniques- Samuel Hopkins Adams can be ac- credited with the passage of Food and Drug Act in 1906. His famous series on the Great American Fraud created a stir among consumers. The years imme- iately following the passage of the Food and Drug Act were marked by great need for consumer protection. Upton Sinclair's best seller of 1906, The Jun- gle drew wide- attention to the horrible conditions in the meat packing industry. Clean Food Clubs were organized in many places. The Housewives League of Chicago helped to develop similar or- ganizations throughout the country. As a result of this, educational work was started on .a large scale. Today outstanding work in consumer educa- tion has been carried on extensively at THE CADUCEUS 49 Stephens College, Columbia, Missouri, where in 1937, the Institute of Consum- er Education was established. The main objectives were: 1. To help the consumer be a better manager of his money. 2. To aid the consumer in becoming a wise buyer. 3. To assist the consumer in becom- ing a better consumer-citizen. Consumer groups have been organ- ized in most urban communities, Trade- Unions, women's clubs, settlement houses, churches, and parent-teacher organizations have all interested them- selves in consumer problems. National testing organizations have enlisted the active support of many consumers and have given new and important help in consumer education. Radio, television, and movies have helped the average consumer, as has an expanding assortment of literature and consumer courses in schools and col- leges. In the common interest for wide- spread organization, consumer groups have prompted the following: 1. Accurate consumer information concerning the quality of the goods they purchase, less adver- tising and more honesty with those they deal. 2. An increase in consumer income. 3. More emphasis on the educational system dealing with consumer guidance. 4. More knowledge in respect to cer- tain commodities. Though the consumer movement is of relatively recent growth, there can be no doubt that it started at the close of the nineteenth century at the time of the Industrial Revolution. --Christine Dunn, '54 WOULD YOU LAUGH? My name is Ba Mutti and I am what you would call a pygmy. Many laugh at my race of people. We are not stunt- ed or deformed members of a larger race, although many people claim we are. Physically and mentally my people are rather like children. Our heads are large in proportion to our bodies, our bodies are long and mounted on short, spindly legs. Most of us grow to be around four feet-six inches tall. My people understand easily, but we are un- able to concentrate. Even as I write this I am thinking of my home. I am a very fortunate pygmy because I am educated. White men came to my village and I returned with them to America. People here consider me a freak and they point and laugh at me as I walk along the streets. I often wish I were back in the Belgian Congo, but I know an education is important. I hope I can help my people when I re- turn. I would not mind remaining in the United States if only people would- n't laugh at me. Would you laugh at me if I came to Norway High School? -Laura Knightly, '56 BEAUTY Beauty is universal, beauty is all around us. There are many kinds of beauty. I will try to bring some of them to your minds. There is the beauty of nature. The symmetry of a leaf, the delicate, fra- grant flowers, the gracefulness of the poplar and birch, the tall stateliness of the elm and pine, the clear bubbling water of a cold stream, the dull surface of the rocks, the shiny plumage of the birds, the ileetness of the animals, biting 50 frosty air, the freshness of a dewy morning, the majesty of a fiery sunset. No one can say that these things are not beautiful. There are also things of beauty which man has created. The volumes of books, the poetry, the paintings, the sculpturings, the music, the inventions, the dramatics, the homes, the tall build- ings, the dancing, the laughter, the hopes and fears, the courage and brave- ry, the honesty and integrity, the seri- ous and the humorous, in short, the cha- racter of man himself, pleasing features, the history of man, the smoothness of performance. Those are a few of the beautiful things which fill our world. Did they open your eyes a bit? I'm not sur- prised. Perhaps some of these things are not beautiful to you, but I know many of them must be. As you can see, there are many ordinary things which are beautiful. A most important beautiful thing is religion--the words of wisdom in the Bible, the sunlight streaming through the stained glass windows, the intent congregation, the choir, the feeling of reverence. All are beauty. You see beauty is everywhere in our world if we will only look. The world would be a much better place if people would seek beauty instead of greedily seeking wealth and power. -Sally Tucker, '57 ESCAPE FROM RUSSIA This is the story of a man who fled from behind the Iron Curtain the hard way. He wasn't one of the fortunate Pow's who could simply denounce Communism and be protected by mili- tary law. He couldn't just hop in his Mig and fly to an American airbase. THE CADUCEUS This man walked out of Russia. It took him a month to walk two hundred miles. Mick Slakor lived in a small town near an ammunition plant where he worked for ten hours a day, six days a week. At night he and three friends, all who had not ollicially joined the Party, would gather in Nick's flat and talk. Sometimes if they felt that they were absolutely safe, they would tune in Nick's radio to the Voice of America or Radio Free Europe. They enjoyed the programs, but nothing was said about them, for two of the boys had wives who were Party members. If they ever found out their husbands sec- cretly detested Communism and all that it stood for, they, being loyal members of the party, would tell the Secret Po- lice, who would undoubtedly send the men before a firing squad. One night as the four were talking about those who had attempted to es- cape and failed, the idea came up that perhaps one of them might get away. As they discussed it, they decided that Nick had the best chance of succeeding, since he lived alone and was the youngest of the group. Nick promised them that he would think it over, and they, encouraging him to take the chance, departed for their homes. Nick didn't sleep much that night. As he lay awake, he thought seriously of the possibilities. If he tried to es- cape, he would have to walk, and con- ceal himself for the long period of time it would take. It would be very hard. Of course, if the Secret Police or the border guards found him, they would shoot him on the spot. If he didn't take his chance, he knew that he might be discovered as he listened to the Ra- dio Free Europe, or read a forbidden book, in which case he would probably be executed, anyway. If he never did THE CADUCEUS 51 get caught, which was unlikely, what would he have to show thirty years from now? Nothing! He, decided to take the gamble, and told- his friends at the next meeting. The other men were pleased that he had made this decision and started to help him by giving him maps and, four nights later, the oldest in the group, a doctor, gave him a list of anti-commun- ist people upon whom he could rely for help. Before he started, Nick decided to wait until the moon was at its .dark- est, a week away. In the meantime, he worked faithfully at his job, and at night he planned and marked the route on the maps. The last night before he left, he filled a knapsack with a change of clothes, and the money, his life savings, he sewed into the lining of his jacket. He couldn't sell his radio or his other pos- sessions because it might attract the at- tention of the officials. One foggy night Nick started his journey. He simply walked out of his flat, telling a curious neighbor that he was going to the store to buy a maga- half a zine. After he had run about mile, he settled down to the good , steady pace, feeling very calm indeed. He had learned through the vine that there was another man who was leaving the same night. Nick had met this man in the factory where they worked, and they had decided that two had a better chance than one. so Nick knocked on the door of the man's house, and now they were walking through the fields and woods together. The first two weeks were easv. in that no one suspected them and they were now onlv seventy-five miles from the border. They traveled by night and slept in the daytime and, except for getting lost once or twice, they were making good time. grape- When they needed food, it was usual- ly Nick who went into town, while his companion rested. It was safe to go in the towns for the police had no descrip- tion of them and as there were so many who were escaping, it was hard to re- member them all. One night after he had bought sup- plies, Nick overheard two police talking about him. tHe was in a bar, and the two were only eight or ten feet away. If you ask me, said the first, That one over there the pointed at Nickl looks like an escapeef' . Oh! you're just jumpy tonight, Ivan, said the second. He's probably just one of those new workers in town. Besides, we're off duty in fifteen min- utes. Let's go home. No! said Ivan, I might be wrong, but just the same, I'm going to follow him and see where he goes. If he should be an escapee, it would look good for my record. Suit yourself, returned the second, 'Tm going home. Soon after this conversation, Nick turned and walked out into the dark- ness. As soon as he had made sure that the policeman was following him, he darted behind a low wall and crouched down to see if Ivan would pass. When Ivan had passed, Nick sprang up and ran in the opposite direction to his com- panion. For the next weeks they made good time and were now hiding in a f armer's house, where they had been for four days, only two miles from the border. The farmer procured for them a pair of wire cutters and told them at what time the guards would be in a certain place. Twentv-eight nights after they had started, Nick and his companion cut their wav through the wire entangle- ment to Freedom. ' A ' -4Bill Shirley, '56 52 THE CADUCEUS EDUCATION Where do we get our education? Many people would say, At school, of course. Those people would only be partly right because we not only get education in school, but also in most ev- erything we do and from the world around us. Let's start in the home, for instance. When we are very young we learn to talk, walk, and eat by ourselves. From then on our education is growing. As we get older we learn the right way as well as the wrong way and try to follow the right way. When we're old enough we attend school. That's where we learn the im- portant facts about English and writ- ing. In school we also learn to work with people. That's when we learn that we're not in the world alone, but with millions of other people and that we must co-operate with all. That fact alone is important, because to live in this world we must get along with our neighbors. Now let's talk about our church for a source of education. When we are young, it is easy to get into trouble and almost as easy to get out of it, be- cause people think we are too young to understand right from wrong. As we grow older, though, we realize that it still is easy to get into trouble, yet not so easy to get out of it. The reason for this is that we should know better . Where do we learn to know better ? At our church, of course. Our religious leaders help many young peo- ple by providing clubs and organizations to keep their minds on the right side of the law. Speaking of law, our police- men play an important part in our edu- cation, also. They are always willing to give us useful information and help us live happier and better lives by en- forcing the laws. Often policemen visit schools to show safety movies and give talks pertaining to safety. Clubs, such as the Boy and Girl Scouts, are helpful in teaching the young people about caring for them- selves and others. The Future Farm- ers and 4-H clubs help our country by aiding the farmers and teaching new and better ways to farm. Our local government aids us in learning about our country and our own state. If one wanted information about his state, all he would have to do would be to write to the state capitol and ask for it. We have spoken about several differ- ent types of education, so now let's talk about the education that comes into our own homes. Let's start with books. Many people cannot afford books, so they take advantage of their local li- brary. There one finds dictionaries, books on history and famous people, as well as books for enjoyment. Along with books we find magazines which are a valuable source of education. We get interesting stories and pictures of far- away places and articles about new de- velopments. The newspaper is avail- able with the latest news and world- wide events. We have radio and T. V. which give us messages quickly in case of emergencies. These are just a few of the many ways to learn. -Patricia Lambert, '57 caduceus ng pl. caducci KL? 1. In ancient Greece and Romc. the staff of a herald: spccif., the staff of Mercury. 2.

Webstcr's Students' Dictionary THE CADUCEUS 53 THE OUTCAST As you look at Greensborough, it looks like an ordinary town, quiet and serene on this bright spring afternoon. Its tree-lined streets are neat and in- viting, and you think of how wonderful the people must be who live here. The local high school is just closing for the day and the students come out in groups, chattering and talking. They climb into a friend's automobile or just walk down the street still chattering ex- citedly. Fine girls pass you on the street and you notice that one of them is different in appearance. She is rath- er attractive with jet black hair, an olive skin, and black eyes. She is prob- ably Mexican or Spanish. You stop and watch them go down the street, laughing merrily and you think to your- self, how wonderful it is that a girl of a different race is accepted by the oth- ers as an equal friend and companion. It was not that easy. Let us turn back the pages of time to the spring of the year before. Your picture would have been somewhat different. You would have seen the same school, the same teen-agers, but this dark girl who caught your eye would have been walk- ing down the street alone and silent. It was March tenth when the Benito family moved to Greensborough from a small town close to the Mexican bor- der. Mr. Benito was in search of better work so that he might provide for his wife and daughter, as well as he had dreamed. Rosita was enrolled in the local high school and looked forward to becoming part of the school's .clubs and activities. Instead of the wonderful friends she had hoped to make, she met only insults, not hearty hello's or good mornings . As much as she hated to admit it, she was an outcast. Her classmates would have nothing to do with her. Rosita was depressed, but also de- termined. She believed she could make her classmates include her in this activ- ities and accept her as a friend and equal. Her home life was happy and she had been properly raised and trained. Her parents were religious people, believing strongly in the word of God, which they had instilled into the mind of their daughter. She strongly believed in the Golden Rule and that two wrongs do not make a right. Instead of the stares and jeering in- sults she received when she passed a group of students, she always had a smile and a cheerful greeting to give them. Trying never to show the others how depressed she felt about the situ- ation, she always seemed to appear hap- py and interested. She was a good scholar, took an active part in her class, and became well-liked by her teachers. Still she was rejected by the students. Most of the insults and jeering stopped, but they were followed by silence to- ward Rosita and she was ignored. School life went along just as usual for the others, filled with parties, sports, and other activities. Rosita, of course, was excluded from all parties, but took an active interest in sports by making a point to attend all home games and showing that she did not lack school spirit because of her state of exclusion. Gradually the attitudes toward Rosi- ta began to change and she finally got her big chance to prove that she was truly an American and one of them. The students were asked to compete in an essay contest. Their subject was to be, Why I'm Proud to be an Ameri- can . Many entered and as usual many just could not be bothered, but on the 54 THE CADUCEUS list of those entering was seen the name of Rosita Benito. The essays were written and passed to the judges for the selection of a winner. Two weeks later an assembly was called in the high school auditorium for the presentation of awards to the con- test winners. To the surprise of the student body, first prize was awarded to the dark haired Mexican girl whom they had insulted and ignored. Rosita was asked to read her essay before the students, which she did impressively. Her voice rose clearly and steadily above the usual voice of a student gath- ering, but before she had said much, one would have been able to hear a pin drop as each eye and ear was concentrated on Rosita and what she was saying. So impressive and earnest was her essay that when she had finished, the auditor- ium shook with applause and shouts of approval. At last Rosita was accepted! As she came from the stage, she was engulfed in a wave of students shower- ing her with wishes of congratulations. From that day to this, she has been a regular with her classmates. No longer is she excluded from their activi- ties, but now hers is a welcome face at student gatherings. She is just as you first saw her, one of the gang, happily strolling down the street with some of her many friends. -Patricia Hill, '55 ON INSTALLMENT BUYING I have a friend that I'd like you to meet. His name is--well, we'll call him Sam Smith. Sam's really a pretty good fellow and he has been doing all right for himself. He's got a nice little house, and he should have it paid for in another fifteen years. You could not find a better family than Sam's, a pretty wife and two of the cutest children you could ask for. His job does not pay too much now, but it will lead to something bigger in a little while. In the mean- time, although he does not have a large income, he has enough to get by on. Maybe I should have put this in the past tense. He still has the job with an opportunity, a wife, home, and two children. There is, however, a blight on his happy life. He has a new neigh- bor-Joe Jones by name. Of course, Joe and his wife don't have children, but they have got a snappy new '54 con- vertible, and the house is furnished with the latest push-button devices and plushy modern furniture. Sam watch- es with ever-widening eyes the proces- sion of vans and workmen who carry the imposing array of furnishings into the house. Then came the last straw. A television aerial was perched atop the house. Sam and his wife were invited to the Joneses to watch the fights, and it was then the bug bit poor Sam. He timidly asked Joe how it was he could have all these luxuries with a job no better than his own. Why it was simple! Credit of course. In order to have these things, all one had to do was go in and sign on the dotted line. Anyone could have a T. V. set, and all they had to pay was a dollar a week. Poor Sam! He could hardly wait to get to Honest Harry's to get a T. V. set. Of course, it wasn't going to be a big one, but when he got looking them over, he began to think. Now the Joneses have only got a 21 inch screen. I'll get a 27 inch one. And so it went. This was simple, wasn't it? He didn't miss a dollar a week, so why not do the same and get the little woman that electric range that she had been wanting for so long. What do you THE CADUCEUS 55 know? Pretty soon old Sam was keep- ing up with the Joneses. But wait a minute-was he keeping up on his payments? There was the catchy he wasn't. But one week end he came to his solution. He was sit- ting in his brand-new, but unpaid for armchair, thumbing through the col- lection of bills. Here was an envelope that looked different. He opened it and read what it had to say. Now here was a nice idea. The Friendly Finance Company thought that he was such a nice fellow that they would trust him enough to lend him up to 551,000 to pay his bills. The letter wooed him. Just think! Lump all those little bills to- gether and pay off the creditors harping at his door. He sprang from his chair and flew to his half-paid-for car and drove quickly to Friendly Finance. He needed his wife to sign, and although she was a little hesitant, she figured Sam knew best. After all, wasn't it only three and one-half per cent inter- est? That's all, but did they look close enough? Three and one-half per cent a month. They had signed and they got most of their bills paid. Then little Sarah Ann fell on the ice and broke her leg. The electricity bill came and the money owed to the Hnance company came due. They really weren't much better off than before, financially. Action had to be taken. First the T. V. set was sold, then the new range, and finally the car. A loss was taken on all of these, but Sam was beginning to see his way clear. He had learned his lesson. He still owed money, but he could pay that out of his salary. His old car was good enough to go back and forth to work in, and there were some pretty good programs on the radio. His wife's cooking still tasted pretty good on the old oil range. No, he wasn't too bad off, but he cer- tainly wasn't keeping up with the Jones- es. What about that Jones guy? How was he managing on his salary? Sam hadn't talked to him for quite a while. He went out the door and started across the lawn. What was that truck doing in front of his neighbor's house? Was he buying another television set? Oh no! That's the company re-possessing the old one. A strange car drew up just then and a young couple stepped out. They walked up to friend Smith and introduced themselves. Their name was Brown and they were going to move in next door. It seems the previ- ous owner got his wages attached for non-payment of his debts and his boss fired him for his foolishness in over- buying. Poor old Jones lost his house for the same reason. Now he is prob- ably trying the same thing in another city. -Patty Bradeen, '54 THE HERO On Friday morning at seven oiclock, Dave Jones responds to his mother's third call to breakfast by thumping his bare feet on the icy floor and quickly hauling back into the warm safety of the covers. This particular Friday marked an event in the Beacon High basketball schedule. At the close of the season, Beacon High had a ten and nothing rec- ord, and tonight's big game against Woodland High would determine the league championship, the winner being honored with trophies, testimonial din- ners, jackets, newspaper publicity, and a trip to the state capital for the state tournament. 56 THE CADUCEUS Dave Jones played a decisive part in this season's standings. He was an aggressive player-not dirty-but very clean, and he possessed a definite will to win. But the most important fact, however, was that his points-per-game average settled at a very satisfactory 23.7 mark. Dave, it's quarter after seven! came the call from downstairs. Dave's early morning procedures went by as quickly as ever. In just a few seemingly short hours, he joined the squad in the gym for practice. Even as it was, tension began to mount. The team and the coach tried to ignore it, but that was impossible. Promptly at tive, the boys were called together by the coach, and he said: There is no need for me to elaborate on the situa- tion. You know and I know what to- night's game will determine. A victory for us will bring glory to you and the school. Good luck, boys, play hard and clean. That's all for now. Be back here at 6:30. Dave, I want to see you. In the course of the next ten minutes, David Jones was told that a represent- ative from Holy Cross would sit in on tonight's game, and that an athletic scholarship would be awarded to the outstanding player of the evening. We're all pulling for you, Dave. With this, the coach concluded his talk. The trip home, a light mealg and the return trip to the gym were the next course of events in the life of Dave Jones. He went over the plays in his mind and had a chat with the rest of the team. By this time, the Woodland team had arrived and the gym was starting to fill. A full house was pre- dicted. In the prelim, Beacon High won by 34-27 margin. . During the between-game period, the coach again gave the boys a pep talk and once more wished them luck. The referee's whistle brought the two teams into position, and the players shook hands. Woodland High got pos- session of the jump ball and passed it down to their end of the court. A re- sult of two points registered on the scoreboard. The neck and neck battle continued for two periods, and at the half, Woodland High led by a basket, 36-34. For Beacon High, this was, by far, the most difficult game of the sea- son. Never before had they encoun- tered such smooth ball handlers. Dave Jones kept up his good scoring game by dunking eighteen points, playing both quarters. At the end of the third quarter, Bea- con High took the lead by a 52-47 mar- gin, and their pride and joy, Dave Jones, added four baskets and a foul shot to his credit. But within the last minutes of the last quarter, Woodland High began to click again, and at the two minute mark, the score was tied, 56-56. If I could only get the ball and sink it, Dave thought, that scholarship would be all wrapped up. Dave did get the ball. He dribbled down the court with it. For a moment, the crowd became deathly silent, wait- ing for something to happen. All alone under the bucket, Dave let go. Set. Shoot. Swish-Good! The tremendous crowd let loose with a bedlam of noise. Dave Jones lost his scholarship, and Beacon High lost its tourney berth, as the big hero sunk those two points for Woodland High. -Christine Dunn, '54 THE CADUCEUS 57 DEMOCRACY vs TOTALITARIANISM In this unsettled world of today there is a difference, and a tight-for survival, between the democratic and totalitarian states. Many of us may know the dictionary's definition for these two words DEMO- CRACY- Government in which the supreme power is in the hands of the people, who exercise it either directly or through their chosen representatives. TOTALITARIAN- Of or relating to a government controlled by a group which allows no representative to other political parties. Yet how many of us realize the difference between a Democracy and a Totalitarian State. Most of us know that the United States and her Allies have a democratic form of government, and that Russia and her satellites practice dictatorship. If one thinks that Russia will go her way and we'll go ours, he should analyze his ideology. Why have our soldiers, sailors, and marines fought and died for Democracy? Do you realize that in a democratic state the Government exists for the people, of the people, and by the peopleg that in a totalitarian state the individual works for the state? Citizens of the United States do not believe in a totalitarian state. What can we do to prevent this philosophy of government from spreading? Just this-just what we have been doing- aiding poorer countries so that they may establish their industries and im- prove their methods of agriculture, thus strengthening themselves by the use of police action in Korea and Germany when necessary. The United States is fighting to prevent the growth of totali- tarianism. Credit should be given the Allies who fight beside us in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and The United Nations. Many of these coun- tries refuse to trade with Russia al- though they need the money. Isn't this a way of preventing totalitarianism? Let's hope we, the youth of today, will have the strength to oppose Commun- ism as our forefathers have done. -Donna Herrick, '54 CLIP CLOP I 'hear a horse coming down the road, Clip Clop, Clip Clop.

BASKETBALL TEAM There's a. place called Norway High School With quite a basketball team. The boys that make it up Are really on the beam. When discussing Norway's team Here's what the people say, Those boys will do their darndest To win every game they play. A lot of the teamis success Goes to a guy named Richie Dyer. That guy's about as fast As a little ball of fire. When Norway's cheerle.aders Get out :and ask for more, Our good old Ri-chie Dyer Will really raise that score. There's also Guilford, Howe, Greenleaf, and some others, too. Without this faithful team What would Norway ever do? -Donna Grover, '56 RAIN I hear the soft patter of raindrops, Falling on the roof overhead, Drowsily I listen, Then .snuggle down in my bed. The rain beats out the rhythm Of a hundred marching feet, Then, a soothing little melody As it falls out in the street. It makes me sleepy just to listen To the sound of p-attering rain, And before I have listened much longer, I am fast asleep again. -Jean Carreau, Sophomore THE LIFE OF MERRY LEE I got a ship down by the sea, The name I gave it was Merry Lee, It rocks and bounces on the :waves Just like a bunch of drunken knaves. I like to sail the seas on high, With just my merry ship and I. One day out sailing, a whale I spied, I thought, I'll kill -him before he hides. I tied him to my Merry Lee, Who towed 'him in from the big blue sea, But close to shore were some rocks I didn't see, And that was the end of my Merry Lee! -Robert McAllister, Sophomore BIRDS Birds sound pretty when they sing, And all their songs just seem to ring, Some are pretty, some are homely, Some are happy while others are gloomy. Why they sing no one knows, But when they sing everyone glows. They like to sing songs that rhyme And live in trees of all kinds. -Jackie Martin, '57 9 60 THE CADUCEUS 1953 BASEBALL Under Mentor Paul Tibbetts, the Nor- way baseball squad had a very success- ful season, becoming Oxford County Champs with ten wins and four losses.

FOOTBALL 1953 On September 1, eighteen boys as- sembled at the High School Gym to be- gin the 1953 football season under coach Paul Tibbetts. Although the records show a poor season, a few of the games were exciting, to say the least. Jerre Hacker was the leading scorer with three touchdowns and two extra points. The only victory of the year, cameiin the second game which was against Paris. 1 The twenty boys winning letters having over 14 quarters were: Seniors Jerre Hacker Richard Dyer Jerry Knightly Kermit Allard Lester Williams Robert Greenleaf Juniors Ronald Morse Clarence French Richard Twitchell James Phinney Randall Greenleaf Carl Mills Robert Martino Sophomores Ray Hawthorne Ralph Millett Royce Grant Roger Dyer John Ashton Bruce Morse Freshmen Bert Micklon b Y THE CADUCEUS 63 Norway 19-Kennett 33 For the first game of the season, Nor- way went to Kennett High at North Conway, N. H. It was the first game many of the boys had played and much experience was gained. Hacker, Greenleaf, and Williams were the three boys to make the T. D.'s with Hacker getting the only extra point. Norway 13-Paris 7 Playing on the home field for the first time and against rival Paris, the Nor- way eleven took their first game.

Hacker also got the extra point. Norway 0-Wilton 6 Norway, playing at home for the sec- ond consecutive Saturday, played one of the better games of the season. Making eighteen first downs to the op- ponent's ten, Norway failed to score. The game ended with Norway on Wil- ton's two foot line. Norway 7-Gould 12 Traveling to Bethel, Norway lost their away road game in a very close contest. Again Norway made more first downs than their opponents, but could no captitalize on them. Norway's only T. D. came during the second half when Greenleaf threw to Dyer, who romped 65 yards to paydirt. Norway 6-Lisbon 19 Norway was handed their third straight loss by a strong Lisbon team. Norway's only touchdown was made by Hacker in the last quarter. The final score was Lisbon 19-N. H. S. 6.

Norway 0-Paris 33 Meeting rival Paris for the final game of the season for both teams and again on the home grounds, the Norway elev- en suffered their sixth loss. A greatly improved Paris team outplayed and out- scored the Norway boys throughout every quarter. Paul LeBlanc starred for Paris. Final score: Paris 33-N. H. S. 0.

They were as follows: WOODS The woods on a moonlight night Shine very bright in the light, The deer appear on the ledge, Little rabbits play near the edge. The owls appear on the trees Hooting -at whatever they see. If you have walked in the woods, The shade casts over you like a hood. There are shadows here, shadows there, Shadows gloom everywhere. When you return home at last The woods set your camp like a little cast. The birds all sleep, Can't even hear a peep. Deer drinlk by the little brink Then all little animals sink Into a long, deep sleep, Then awake in the morn. Then deep in the woods Light seeps through the tree tops, Little rabbits start to hop, The hounds are chasing the fox. But the woods are his soul and friend. The woods will hide him, The hounds shall not find him. --Irene Packard, '57 PX f' XX ,ff CZ, Emi fi A I 1 if N1 CN XB, XQG ,, A Q ,-'.

How long is that going to go on? What do you think I am, retorted the landlord, a weather prophet? Mrs. Greenleaf: What is the girl who takes dictation and types letters in your father's oflice called? Bruce Dow: A blonde. DEFINITIONS: Depression-When easy jobs are hard to get.

Committee--A group of selected indi- viduals who keep minutes and waste hours. Mr. Tibbetts: Who can give me a de- finition of indigestion? Bruce Morse: It's the failure to ad- just a square meal to a round stom- ach. Your methods of cultivation are hope- lessly out of date, said the youthful agricultural college graduate to the old farmer. Why, I'd be astonished if you got even ten pounds of apples from that tree. So would I, replied the farmer, This is a pear tree. Judge: Have you ever been up before me? Jerry Knightly: I don't know. What time do you get up? ' Junior, don't ever use such bad words. But mother, Billy Shakespeare uses them. Well, don't play with him any more then.

Found on a Freshman's Registration Card: Question: Give your parent's names. Answer: Mama and Papa Are you the man who saved my little boy from drowning when he fell off the dock? Yes, Well, where's his cap? First Kangaroo: Mary, what hap- pened to your baby? Second Kangaroo: Oh, dear! I've had my pockets picked. Mr. Rowe: Richard Twitchell, what does H2SO4 stand for? Richard: Just a minute, it's on the tip of my tongue. Mr. Rowe: You better spit it out, it's sulphuric acid. .86 5 THE CADUCEUS Robert Martino: Who was the best actor in the Bible?

In a minute you'll have 993' It happened that Dee Scribner saw Jer- ry Knightly in the movies one night with a stalk of celery in each ear. He decided that it was none of his business, even though Jerry came in on the next four nights with celery in his ears. On the sixth night Jer- ry came in with a radish in each ear. Overcome by curiosity, Dee finally stopped Jerry and said, For five nights now, you've come in here with celery in your ears and tonight you come in with a radish in each ear. Why? It's simple, replied Jerry, Pete was all out of celery. SUMMERYS WAY Birds are singing, Children are swinging, All like this summer's morn, 'But too soon it is gone. Soon they will sleep, 'Little birds rwon't peep, The owls will pipe lAll tlhrough the night. 'But soon all will sleep, 'For little hearts must keep, :Then they will begin another day, lFor that is summer's way. -Irene Packard, Freshman ..1 ...l.-l THE BEAUTY OF WINTER The prettiest :sight I have seen since I was born V H E Was a ride through the country after a storm The trees were all bent with ice 'and snow No artist could paint sudh a picture I know. , Ice coated the wires for many miles along Q e ' And the old babbling brook 'had fongotten her song, The beauty of winter we must V understand E 'Was made by-the touch of our Masteris hand. , , -Esther Cleveland, '56 SUMMER CAMP Soon the sumwmer will be here, That's the time I hold so dear, 1For to camp I then will go, There I 'hope to fin-d a beau, Boating, swimming, lots of fun, When our daily tasks are done, That's the time we all enjoy, Every single girl and boy. +Jean Wiley, '56 MY IDEA OF SCHOOL Winter would be a wonderful time, If it wasn't for that dreadful, old school. There is skiing and skating and tobogganing, And many other things to do. , But when school keeps, there is no time to play Because it's study this, and study that, eve-ry minute of tfhe day. A . w The more you do, the more there is to do, I think it's a hopeless task, don't you? -Margaret Twitchell, '57 WINTERTIME It has now come around to winter again, And you can hear the wind thrrough the trees. Around the houses it blows and sweeps, And you can feel. the cool, cool breeze. The snow in the winter, how it does glisten!
