under the direction of Mrs. George

performances, I know they'll be a
success. Today the seniors will 60

If you've noticed that there are

From all accounts, we should have
loads of fun. We're going to take
a record player and all of the
latest recordings, and play them
all night SO we'll be able to stay
awake. I think we'd better take
some right strong coffee for this
same reason! Dungarees, shorts,
T-shirts, plaid shirts, and especial
ly bathsuits will be the clothes to
take. But of course it will prob
ably rain that weekend. A few
Of the fortunates have dates for
the prom and will come up long
enough for the dance that night.
And most of us plan to attend the
Dramatics club play, BEST Foot
Forward" on Saturday night. And,
from our own decision, we will at.
tend either our own church on
Sunday, or go to the ones on the
beach. So even in the midst Of
all our good times, there will be
time for church. Oh, I forgot to
say that there will be no males
allowed. But Of course if anybody
has a date, we'll let them stay It'll
maybe II o'clock.
Pm sorry that l never have been
able to get the cast for the play,
but I just can't seem to get in
touch with MISS Jane King who
is doing the coaching. I'll try tc
have something on it before it
takes place.

If you get a chance, borrow an
annual from a graduate and look
through it. I say if you get a
chance cause we carry them
everywhere we 60 SO we a get
people to sign them. But they
really are swell - the best any
graduating class has had to offer.
Our thanks tor this perfect year.
book goes to quite a few people.
Pat Hardwick did more than her
share on it, while the work Of
George Darden, Douglas McKoy
as editor-in-chief, and Harry We'll
lott as business manager cannot
go unrewarded. The annual is dedi-
Gated each year to a teacher who
is selected by an assembly OF the
students, and this year they chose
to dedicate it to Mrs. Edith Win
ningham. 1t is written in memory
of those who died in their coun-
trys service for the ideals
of peace and freedom for very
one. The fine art work is the
handiwork of a true artist, Kath-
ryn Kester. The class poet of '46 is
our own Sue Norton who did a
swell job with the class poem. So
you see from my thumbnail sketch
that this is a tlp-top annual-one of
which we have a right to brag
and be proud.
The poor mail sorters will have
quite a bit of work ahead Of them
from now It'll the end of next week.
The senior announcements have
been received. a n d, when home
work assignrae tts have been at
tended to, the rest Of the time
before going to bed is spent in ad-
dressing them and getting them
ready for The mail. It's a greater
thrill than you can imagine to tuck
your very own calling card be-
tween the Immaculate pages of the
announcement and know that you
are a member of the graduating
class that is sending out these an
nouncements. Yes, it does mean
a lot to be a senior. It's well
worth working for. Our robes
should be here before long. Then
there will be a pickup in the
working days of the photographers
around town, cause all of us want
pictures taken in our caps and
gowns for the family to keep, and
to let t.lat certain someone know
that even in all the excitement Of
graduation we haven't forgotten
him for a single minute.

Second House Group
Begins Probe of.Aides
In State Department
BY the Associated Press

A second congressional committee
has turned its attention on the
State Department.
Members of the House Committee
on Un-American Activities disclosed
today that for the last two months
they have been investigating re-
ports that persons of American
tendencies are holding high position
in the State Department"
Their inquiry, they said, does not
overlap a current inquiry in State
intelligence operations
by the House Military Affairs Com
mittee.
Disclosure that the n-American
Activities group has moved into the
State Department picture came
from Representative Mundt, Repub-
lican. of South Dakota, and was con-
firmed by Representative Rankin,
Democrat, of Mississippi, ranking
minority member.
I'VE have made no formal report
and probably won't for some time, "
Mr. Mundt told a reporter. But
what we have found so far indicates
that there is more than rumor to
reports that many persons Of ques-
tionable background are employed
in the department"
Mr.. Mundt said the committee
also will ask the State Department
for report on how 1t will select
an estimated 200 United States en-
ployes to be attached to the United
Nations Organization.
Mr.. Mundt said his committee Is
concerned primarily with persons
who are pro-communistic."
