Short Story Contest
The date set aside as the dead
Inc for the annual short story con-
test sponsored by the o. Henry
] literary Society at MINIS is May
] and it is drawing near quicker
than you think! There are no re-
k uirements, just that you compose
the story yourself and that you are
a student at MINIS. First, second
and third place prizes will be
awarded on Honor Day which is
held during the last week of school
and at which time all the outstand-
ing accomplishments of the stu
dents and the sincere affection held
for the members of the faculty
are recognized. Mr.. and Mrs. Ben
Mcdonald will be the judges and as
in all cases, their decision will be
final. A student committee work
ing on this contest is composed OF
Olivia Lynch. Jane Easter Marye,
IRettina Marable, and Florence San
Gers. So, get. out your pencils and
thinking caps. and, who knows?
Our very own. generation may con-
tain many o: Henry's of unexpect-
ed talent and ability.
Another welcomed figure around
town this week is none other than
Alan "a. B." Blake. He's that
fella who has dark brown curly
hair, and wonderful suntan, al
though the beach season has hardly
started! He. used to pal around
with Wilbur Warren and a few
other fellas who aren't here now.
But he does have one of his old
buddies home with him and that
Bill Montgomery. There's Perry
James, too, but a certain mighty
cute girl seems to take up most OF
Perry's time!
We're proud to say that our
orchestra was extended an invita-
ton to play in the Greensboro
music festival, but Mrs. Norden
deemed it best to refuse and keep
the musicians home to rehearse
1Or Inelr 1Qtule engagements III
the city. ...--..
The girls choir of the Glee club
had been very excited about going
to Greensboro-until today. Then
Miss Robinson announced that if
we went, we would probably have
10 sleep on cots in the gym. Groans
resounded throughout the room as
many of us. .visualized ourselves
having to sit UP most of the night
and talk to each other cause we
couldn't go to sleep And who wants
to sit up half the night and talk
about most everybody anybody
| knows!!!
AS yet it hasn't been definitely
decided whether or not we will go,

Market Is Irregular,
With Pivotal Stocks
Mostly Unchanged
BY T. E. AppIeeote
Ru tie A Prsx.

NEW YORK, April l0.-Stocks
followed an irregular pattern in to-
days market with many pivotal is
sues unchanged.
Absence of significant favorable
news kept buyers in cautious mood
brokers said, in view of Yesterday s
advance to near the February peak
Talk of stock splits, dividend dec
larations, strike settlements and
anticipation of lifted price controls
acted as sentiment props. Continued
deadlock of soft coal strike negotia-
tlons, along with some cashing OF
recent profits, inspired hesitancy.
Farm Implements Advance.
Leading steels and motors held
largely to the sidelines as selected
aircrafts and farm implements ad-
vanced in fairly active opening
The pace of dealings slowed there
after, and although an appreciable
assortment maintained gains, there
were numerous losers near the
fourth hour.
Lower most of the day were United
Op"ISo hOSSSl, /,
General Motors, Santa Fe, Sears
Roebuck, General Electric Allied
Chemical, Standard Oil New Jer-
seyl, Bath Iron Works, Newport
News Shipbuilding, Union Carbide
and Pennsylvania Railroad. Resist
ant issues included Goodyear, Inter-
national Harvester, Douglas Aircraft.
Boeing Texas Co., Gruman Air
craft, Kennecott, American Can and
Great Northern preferred.
WoolWorth rose on declaration of
an extra 50-cent dividend. Madison
Square Garden opened up ls4 on a
stock split, but failed to hold the
gain.
Bonds Narrow.
Bonds were narrow and commodi-
ties improved
Lower in the curb were Electric
Bond & Share, Raytheon, Cities
Service and Central & Southwest
Utilities. Gamers included Molyb-
denum, MeSabi Iron, Niles -Bement-
Pond and Sterling. Inc.
Reluctance of railroad shares to
match the recent advances of indus
trials and utilities was attributed to
untaVorable near-term earnings
prospects caused by manufacturing
Shutdowns and retroactive wage ad-
justments.
