school. He excels especially in his
tory.
Because of his faithfulness to his
school, the students put great trust
in him. In his Junior year of high
school he was elected treasurer of his
class and he worked so hard for the
Junior-Senior Prom that the Juniors
found themselves far ahead on the bal
ance sheet at the end of the year.
At the beginning of his Senior year
he was again elected treasurer of his
class. The boys basketball team
chose him as their manager, and he
was also elected business manager of
'Pocomoke High-Lights."
Keep it up, Howard. Your school
is proud of you and knows you are
going to be a success in no matter
what field of work you choose.

EDITORIAL
THE STUDENT COUNCIL

For quite a while our school has
been faced with a grave question:
Shall we have Student Council? To
some this issue might mean the fol-
lowing: Shall we form a government
to civilize our P. H. S. ruffians
But, on the contrary, others inter-
pref it differently: Shall we allow the
claw" to deprive us of what little
freedom we have? Every institution
must have some form of government
to provide equality, justice, collec-
tive harmony. Obstacles must be
downed as in the great step taken by
our nation when it adopted the Con-
stitution. 1t seems inevitable that a
certain amount of hard feeling a.
mong the students will result from
the election of Student Council since
there is always he who is not suited
to his position in office. Did not
the small Western towns in the 18th
century have the same perplexity
which was soon dissolved by the rule
of the majority?
Our school needs discipline, boast
ing, organization, recreation, variety,
judicial experience, and perhaps per
iod for physical education, all of
which can be encouraged, created or
accomplished by Student Council
with the ever-ready help and advice
of our faculty.
Think, parents, and talk it over
with your son or daughter who may
be affected by it, and help US solve
the problem.

~ NE day not long ago Bob Bar
4 nett. Chevy Chase golf pro,
l asked George Diffenbaugh,
~ District open champ from
Indian Spring, to come over to Chevy
Chase for a friendly round OF golf.
When they finished that round
Georges arms were weary and his
pups were talking plenty about the
length Of the course Bob made him
play.
Il never knew Chevy Chase was so
long, I played 42o-yard holes with
two wooden club shots and the course,
the way played it, was around 1000
yards" said George Bob had ME so
far back on those tees my pants wore
out from being backed up in the
bushes to hit my tee shot. On the
eighth tee thought I'd need a guide
to get back on the fairWay after Id
hit my ball off the tee-those markers
were so far back. Really, almost had
to crawl through the bushes to get
back on the golf course, it was SO
long"
That Chevy Chase course, where an
amateur tournament will be played for
the Taft and Sherman trophies next
week, is only 6,538 yards long, accord
Ing to the score card, which makes it
practically a miniature course, judged
by amateur championship standards.

LAUDE RIPPY, the slim, angu-
I lar public links champion,
I who hits golf ball with his
~ foot in the bucket" as they'd
say around Grifnth Stadium, has
made up his mind on one little matter.
The slim boy who is tied for the medal
In the Woodmont Country Club tour
ney today, is going to stick In his own
company this year and isn't going out
in bigger company In the national links
field than the public links boys. That
is, II Claude can qualify one-two in
the coming sectional medal rounds to
be played at East Potomac Park late
In June for the national public links
championship at San Francisco early
In August.
Boy, If I didn't get some help I
couldn't pay near the one-way fare to
San Francisco" Claude said today.
Here's the set-up: S. G. Leofler, the
guy who runs most OF the public
courses in Washington and who really
ought to wear a Santa Claus outfit all
the year the's that generous), will pay
the expenses of the first two men in
the sectional rounds here, which is
quite an order considering the distance.
If Claude can finish one-two, and
there's no reason why he shouldn't, for
he is the class Of the public linksmen,
without any question, he will go.
TO CARRY the case further the
United States Golf Association has
issued an edict that golfers who are
eligible for both the public links and
the amateur Journeys may play In one,
but not in the other
Now the angular Rippy boy,
who peddles pants and socks and
shoes and other sports goods
Appurtenances At = local sport
ing goods store, was runner-up
for the national public links title
last year.
So you can have guess as to what
tourney he'll play in. Right the first
time, my friends. It'll be the public
links event. provided he can finish "in
the money" so to speak. which means
that his expenses will be paid. II he

Will the Divan Succeed.

WHETHER the Social Chess Divan
will grow and not only be the
mecca for all District chess cham
pionships but national chess center
depends upon the support of local
fans.
The divan is open. The
equipment for your personal
entertainment is present. You
don't realize what fine place
you have for chess play until
you pay 1t a visit.
Stop by and look things over. Then
become quarterly member, II you
can. II your budget requires econo-
MIXING, then become a monthly mem
Der. In either case join up and lend
your cooperation to organized social
chess in the District. The divan needs
you!
And don't forget the Institutional
lectures. The membership fee in
cludes everything. Non-members VII
pay so cents for all lectures in the
future unless the lectures are ele-
mentary, In which case the tariff will
be IS cents.
A check mailed today to the Social
Chess Divan, Parkside Hotel, will give
you an active membership for May.
