RIVALS FOR A SPELIING CONTEST y The seventh and eig- th grades are having a spelling contest. . The seventh grade has gained considerably on it since the first se- mester but the score 3 now a tie. Mrs, Fetters needs very much of the credit, for she made us nget downn and Wdig ln.n I think we have taken he advice. 'V-12 Test Cont. from p. 1 Those passing the test will go on for further examinations, physical and mental, and if they pass these examinations, .. they will be sent to college lby the Army or Navy. The boys will be on active duty in uniform under military discl- pliflee The test consisted mainly of vocabulary, reading ability, Sei- lence, and Math. It was an achievement test rather than a mental test, Two hours time was alloted for CONTINUING THEIR RECORD SALES Although they had the disadvantage of only a 4 day week, the 8th grade hit the gong again with a total of p679.45. 3657.70 of this was bonds, the remaining 241.75 .was in stamps. The Seniors began to climb by pulk ing their total up to Q554.05. 929.05 of this was received from the sale of stamps and 5525.00 from bonds.

There is much talk going on these das in re- gard to post-war planning. Some say that we should forget about postwar planning and think first about winning the war. Thaiafter we have won the war we should make our plans. Others say that we should make our post-war plans now. This is a serious problem that confronts the American people. It is my opinion thmzwe should make post-war plans now. We should make them new so that we will not have made the same mistake when the war is over this time that we made in the last war. During the last war the conquered nations of the world looked to us for protection. After the war they also expected aid in some ways from the United States. It was much to their disappointment that they did not receive the expected aid. By the United States not helping these countries, they lost faith in us. It was not so much the material aid that they needed as it was aid in the settlement of the politi- cal disputes that resulted from the war. They knew that what the United States ssh in l P6 CAl C.n to these problems would cany weight. We failed them. It is here that we lost the peace of the first World War. As we look the present situation over, we see that there is a similarity tothe situation of World War I. Thenaare theconquered nations run down. They are probably more so new than they were during the last war. Many of their people have starved and many more are nearly so. It probably is material aid that they want at present, but later they will need help in the settlement of their oder problems. To whom are they going to turn for ther aid? Will thq' turn toward the United States or will theyturn elsewhere? In view of the fact that we failed them the last time, they will not turn to us unless some post-war plans are made and the necessary steps taken to carry them out. Then, if we are to-win thewar and alsswin the peace, we will require the cooperation of all the na- cont. on p. 5 HJOHNIY APPLESEED --Elizabeth Lewis 5 .................... Johnny Chapman, bet- ter known as Johnny Appleseed, was from new England. He was well known in this re- gion and had a passion for raising and culti- vating' apple trees. He first appeared in Western Ohio and Penn- sylvania in the out- skirts of the settle- ment. When newsettlers came in, Johnny was ready for thenwith his young trees. He either gave them away or sold them fa'a small amunt. Thus he proceeded for many years until the country was settled. About 20 yars later he moved to the far west to continue the useful- ness of his cares: His personal appearance was as singular as his character. He was quick and restless in his motions. He had a long beard and dark eyes. His clothes were old and often he was bare- foot. Everyone treated him with kindness even the Indians. Johnny was famous in Ohio as early as 1911. When asked if he would not be happier with a wife and family he re- plied that all women weren't what they pro fessed to be. A man cont. on'p. 5

Many boys and girls have been out the last six weeks. We are having a con- test to see which tadb buys the most war stamps in one week. The first week of the contest we sold 22319.55 in our room. Everytime a stamp is bought the pupil gets to put a soldier in the big RVN on the blackboard. Pictures, window de- corations, and black- board decorations all show the Easter sea- son. Many of the second grade Pupils have read all the reading circle books. George Wallace vis- ited in our room. Room II 'In art class we made rabbits and Easter cards which we took home to give to our friends. Naomi Goodman is a new student in the Fourth grade. She formerly attended school in Kentucky. The Fourth grade is taking an imaginary trip across the United States. Each keeps a log of the trip. The Third grade is reading in a new book uNeighbors and Help- ers, In Arithmetic the Fourth graders are working with fractions 1 , I We are enjoying the fr om the Bowl- books ing Green Library. Most of us have read the Reading Circle Books and will re- ceive certificates. We are still trying to buy -as many war stamps and bonds as we can. ROOM III Miss Mathile has re- turned after an ill- ness of three weeks. Mrs. Bobel of Bowling Green substitued for her. Bernice Cheatwood, a sixth grade pupil of Ridge Street school at Bowling Green, visited our room on Thursday, We made reprcductiors of stain glass windows for our Easter Art pro- ject. Mrs. Bobel is readhg a new book, nSpike of Swift Rivern. It is a story of a dog and his master, who lives in the great Northwest. We are enjoying the story very much. Johnny Appleseed cont. from p. 6 might not marry the amiable woman he thought he was getting after all. His sense of justice was scrupu- lous honesty. In 1838 he resolved to go on. He bade his 'friends good-bye and left to the sorrow of the chikh ren. He came back two or three times to vish but only for a short time. The last time was in the year that he died, 1845. He was cont. from p. 3 tions of the world-- large and small. These conquered nations will not cooperate unlessle can guarantee them Umm we, ourselves, will be willing to cooperate. For us to let themknow that we are willing to cooperate we must show an effort in that dir- ection. The best pos sible way that we can show an effort is by making post-war plans Howe To just make postemm plans alone, is not enough. We must set up the proper machinery with which to carry cut these post-war plans effectively. This wodd be more evidence to them of our willinguess to cooperate in a Wbrld Peace. Thus we see that post-war plans arevit- ally necessary for world peace. The pres- ent conflict may have been avoided if we would have made post- war plans during World War I. Maybe we will avoid a future world war by making post-war plans now, We can pro- fit now by our mistmes of the last war. Why not take advantage of this opportunity? mourned by many as a simple-hearted virtuns self-sacrificing man whose name deserves er rcllment in the calen- dar of Saints. VME ISGNDS AND 5 TA MPS
