In baseball William has tried his
hand, but you know that this is a
very hard game to become profici-
ent in.
Another favorite game that he
likes is tennis. He has been devel-
Oping his skill in this game for four
years, and if you don't think so get
him to play you a game.
At one time or another we all
have a fancy to become an actor.
William has taken part in several
plays and has shown remarkable
ability.
He has made plans for the future,
he wants to become a farmer, you
know it's a good thing some of us
want to make farming a paying job,
for if we didn't the old world would
surely starVe to death. Before he
starts this work he is first going
to take a course in agriculture,
possibly at the University of Della
ware. Now that you have the low

any real, good fresh vegetables or
eggs or anything in that line you
will know where to get them.

Indians on the war path;
Through the forest comes steal

gay feathers and warpaint, ready to
pounce upon intruding civilization.
In a late summer a horseman gal

rumble along what is now a wide,
dusty road.
Sometime prior to the year 1900
this Kings Highway was laid out.
Possibly it was under the instruc-
tion of William Penn, who, at that
time, included Delaware in his do
main. At any rate the necessity for
communication between the two
points: Lewes (HoOrn kid and
New Castle New AmsteD probably
marked the beginning of our High
way. Later, of course, it extended
down through the Del-Mar-Va Pen
insula as far as Cape Charles.
Through Delaware its trail was
in the shape of a Y. Making a
straight course to Dover, it then di-
vided into two sections, one east,
one west. Then when the eastern

December Library Report

Although fewer books were cir
culated this month than the same
month last year, and fewer than
last month, the librarian feels that
the change in the system of book
reports had much to do with the ap-
parent decline. Had we more books
suitable for the sixth, seventh, and
eighth grades, she feels sure there
would have been an increase in the
number of books read.
The total number of books bor-
rowed in December was four hun
dred and thirty-six, and these were
divided as follows: From the school
library, three hundred and eighty
five; from the Free Public Library,
thirty, and from the State Travelling
Library, twenty-one. OF those bor-
rowed three hundred and twenty
eight were fiction and one hundred
and eight non-fiction.
The Travelling Library was re-
turned before the holidays with a
request for another one when
school reopened. We greatly appte-
ciate the use of these books, and
also the ones from the Free Public
Library.

Today to little ones Santa Claus
is reality. Years ago no Santa
Claus ever made an appearance in
our stores or came to visit us in
airplanes. Then children were told
about that wonderful old man; and
they, too, just as eagerly awaited
his coming on Christmas Eve. Early
the next morning they would hasten
downstairs in the biting cold to find
what Santa had left on their plates.
Shouts of pleasure and surprise
could be heard as one looked on the
Christmas tree, not covered with
balls and dazzling lights-no, but
filled with candy toys, canes, pop
corn, yet not for long as the differ

disposed of these whenever they
felt inclined to do so.

Miss Carlson reported parts of
the meeting laid special stress upon
the value of money and wise spend
ing. This was sent out as a chal-

since women are the ones who do
most of the buying for the home.
Miss Breck told of the keen inter
est which was shown in family re-

since it is our aim to make of our
girls more worthy home members.

DELAWARE PROGRAM REMINDS
CITIZENS OF STATES HERITAGE


Delaware was the first in the
parade of the States" broadcasted
by General Motors over the NBC
network last Monday evening at
nine-thirty. The program opened
with the Liberty Song written by
John Dickinson, that famous Della
warean. The next number was a
Swedish Rhapsody in honor of the
Swedes who first settled in Della
ware to extend the kingdom of GUS
tavus Adolphus. Erno Rapee, one
of the best known and greatest of
the musicians of today, directed the
orchestra
Several times during the program
the beautiful Delaware highways
were commented upon, and Doug
las Stairway, baritone, sang 1.-THE
Open Road" Charles Webster read
Bruce Barton's Tribute to Della
ware" which begins with the story
of Caesar Rodney's ride and then
speaks of the powder mills on the
Brandywine; the grist mill where
and his troops were
fed; the historical interest of Lewes,
the States flower, the peach bios
som; the superiority of Delaware
the significance of the dia-
mond as an emblem; and the beau
ty of the little Blue Hen" State.

GRADE ROOMS
HAD FESTIVE
APPEARANCE
Santa. Claus Vies With
POinsettia For PrOni-
nence.

Several of the school roomis were
decorated for Christmas. 1t seems
that none of these rooms belonged
to Senior High people. The other
grades have either more time or
more interest in spreading the
Christmas spirit.
In Mrs. Warehouses; room we
found prettily trimmed tree. many
poinsettias and Old Santa with his
usual jolly smile. Mrs. Nemishs
room was very much like Christ
mas. A lovely tree was in the cor
ner. A border of poinsettias for the
blackboard was drawn entirely by
the pupils in her home room. Above
another blackboard was a border of
Christmas scenes that had been
made several years ago by a for
mer pupil of that grade. Mr.. Hanna's
people shared in all this too. They
had a very pretty tree, poinsettias
and some odd wooden people. Miss
Kitchens pupils had a tree, paper
poinsettias, and an Old Santa, of
course. Mrs. Rogers room had a
tree, colored paper links along the
board, Santa and the words "Mer-
ry Christmas" cut out of paper.
Mrs. Derrickson's children had pa
per wise men, candles and tree.
With the exception of nicely trim
med trees, the poinsettias and San
tas appear to be favorite decora-
tions.

The selection was in itself very
plain and simple and was very eff
fectively read.
Probably one of the most beauti-
full numbers of all was a musical
composition, "Rodney's Ride" COM
posed especially for the program. 1t
almost gave an actual picture of
that famous ride and ended with an
arrangement of Yankee Doodle.
The next number was a composition
by a native of Delaware, Clayton
Johns. 1t was called "In Never
Cease Loving Thee" and was rem
dered by coloratura soprano ae-
companied by a clarinet. Then the
orchestra played selections from
the operetta, Apple Blossoms" in
honor of the great number of apple
trees in Delaware. The announcer.
Graham MacNamee, compared the
apple blossoms of Delaware to the
cherry blossoms of Japan. He told
also of Washington's tenth legion,
the crack troops from Delaware.
and the orchestra played a special
arrangement of "Our Delaware"
The program was one that every
Delawarean should have heard. AL
though not much history was given,
the music was real tribute to the
Diamond State.

more than our Sun. Then one must
grasp the fact that there are mil
lions of stars in our Milky Way, and
millions of milky ways in the sky
and that the life of a star is billions
of years. How many seconds in a
billion years?
Such considerations will show
that there is substance dispersed
through "empty" space comparable
for amount to all the organized
stars, planets and moons.
One more thought: Follow the
radiant energy speeding from any
active star and note how its lines
are traversed by the lines of energy
from every other start Yet each
preserves its individuality and tells
the composition, the direction and
speed, the present stage of develop
ment, the energy, etc., of its partic-
ular star. Would it be more in
credible if your individuality and
mine should be preserved through
the ages to come?
CredO
I believe that the greatest fact
about the universe is not it's size,
its age, its might, but the Mind that
fills it all.
l believe that the universe is a
thought and not an Academia liv-
ing universe and not a lifeless ma
chine.
l believe that the universe is one,
not many; all parts are bound to
all; solidarity is the key-word.
1 believe that evolution is the uni
versal method of the universal Mind
all things are in process; the uni
verse is moving, not standing; the
form changes, the substance abides.
1 believe in Today and Tomorrow
more than in all the Golden Ages of
Yesterday.
I believe that burden-bearing is
indispensable to the growth of nigh
character. God has so much conf
dence in His children He has given
them hard problems to solve, there
by ensuring that they shall be
strong. /
l believe that a better philosophy
of life is to be found in the con-
crete facts of the universe than in
any system of abstraction.
I believe that man is immortal as
an individual and not merely as an
influence or a member of the race.
I believe that the only happy life
is the unselfish life.
I believe that God speaks to men
today as often and as truly as in the
past: "If thou hast wanderines in
the wilderness and findest not Sinai,
it's thy soul is poor"
7 believe that "those who love
truth in all sincerity are never
ready to revise their opinions"

section of the road passed through
Milford there former another Y ex-
tended down to the end of the PEN
insula. This old road was much
used by the stage coaches, for up to
1859 no trains had been seen in this
part of the country. In the setting
out of the road the shortest distance
between the two points was the
chief aim, nevertheless the lakes
and marshy lands prevented this
straight course to Lewes.
Today if one travels along this
highway, he will find a great many
old brick barns, houses that take us
back again in our Imagination to the
days when this road was the main
thOroughfare in our State. Some
verses of George B. Hynson seem to
help us in imagining: .----.-
Centuries have intervened
Since we saw them pass;
Onward through the deepening
shade
They have gone, alasl
Puritan and Cavalier,
Sturdy Dutch and Swede,
Lost within the gloom of years
How the moments speed!
Soon Wen rise and follow them;
Where the shadows lay,
Riding through the cleaning
On the Kings Highway.

WHO'S WHO OF
SENIOR CLASS
Introducing William DOering, Our Tennis Player

William ,DOering is another one of
our class who joined us in the
freshman year. He came to this
school from Chester, Pa, in 1928.
Incidentally William knows some
thing of the world, for he has lived
in four states besides Delaware.
Not so bad, eh! He was born in
Michigan in 1918. And at various
times he has lived in Wisconsin,
Illinois, Pennsylvania and now good
old Delaware. He admits that Del
aware is the ideal spot in which to
live. that it is little paradise in
itself.
William has proved to be a good
class mate. He is always willing to
promote the interest of our class.
We regard him as one of the best
natured chaps that we have had the
pleasure of knowing. William al
ways shows the best of sportsman
ship in athletics. He has fought
valiantly to help our class win bas-
ketball games until now we can
proudly say we have been unde-
feated in class basketball for two
years.

Credo OF A Scientist
Presented To Class
In The Bowl Of The Big Dipper

considerable interest in and ap-
probation of the following COM
ments and credo of well-known
geologist and astronomer was
shown recently in Mrs. Rosa's sci
ence classes. So we pass the in
formation and inspiration on.)
The bowl of the Big Dipper holds
one thousandth of the entire heav-
ems. But is there anything in that
empty space% On a moonless night
a good eye can see five or six stars
in the bowl; a keen eye can see
twice as many; a four-inch tele-
scope finds a hundred; while the
largest telescope discovers a hun
dred thousand and more, in that
same empty" space; and each star
is a sun like ours!
Yet more: Replace the human eye
at the telescope with a Photographic
plate; leave it exposed for hours
it doesn't weary like the eye--and
you will find on the plate hundred
bits of "fOg," each a whole Milky
Way, or galaxy, composed of mil
lions or even billions of suns. AL
most in the center of the bowl is a
SYSTEM OF SIXTY GALAXIES,
two million times as far from us
as the four stars that outline the
bowl, and these four stars that out
line the bowl are seventy-five light
years away, that is to say, 450.0OO,-
000,000,000 miles from the earth.
Multiply this distance by the two
million and you arrive at the system
of sixty galaxies. And beyond? Lar
ger telescopes or more sensitive
Photographic plates will soon tell us
that.
On The Contents OF "Empty"
Space
You who have attended my lee
lures on astronomy at any time dur
ing the last twenty-five years will
recall my discussions and referen-
ces to the contents of empty"
space. Let me here summarize in
part what 1 there mentioned: Tn
countable meteors, of which we can
form some notion by knowing that a
billion or more enter the atmos-
phere Of our earth daily, dust
brushed from comets, forming tails
tens of millions of miles long and
quickly lost in space; molecules of
gases that escape from the atmos-
pheres of worlds; "dust-banks" that
constitute the treasures of raw
material from which billions of
worlds may be formed; and above
all the inconceivable amounts of
matter transformed into radiant
energy and shot from the stars at
the velocity of light.
Our Sun in this manner sends
forth into space four million tons
each second, or hundred and thir-
ty million-million tons a year; and |
many a star sends a hundred fold |
