Bp Emily Pavne, IL,

Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School.
The road is all the years that stretch
before me,
Ascending to the hills that must
climb;
My dreams, like castles, loom on the
horizon,
Still covered by the cloudy haze
Of time.
Hope, like the sun, pours golden
light upon me,
Dissolving doubts, like shadows,
by the way;
My eyes are kept upon that far
horizon,
Where I shall ind my happiness
some day.

William Harvey, an Englishman,
had the good fortune to attend the
medical school in Padua, under a
teacher who had given special study
to the veins. He learned all he
could from this teacher and then
did great dear of thinking for
himself.
About a century after the death
Of Columbus, Harvey wrote ia
nous essay to prove that blood keeps
moving around the pody. returning
through the veins after leaving the
heart through the arteries. This
was the key to a great deal more.
and 1t did much to bring about the
progress Of modern medicine.
Other doctors were slow to admit
the truth of what Harvey had writ

Characters from the comic pages
have a disconcerting way Of bob
bing up in real life.
Polly Pippen," a popular comic
Of a few years ago, Is a good ex-
ample. Its principal characters
were young married couple named
Polly and Milburn Pippen. Of
hand, you'd say that the chances
Of finding a Polly Pippen in real
life would be negligible and the
chances Of finding a Milburn Pippen
practically nonexistent.
But 30 years ago, in Baltimore,
a favorite playmate Of mine was
boy named Milburn Pippen. And
when the Baltimore Sun began pub
fishing the comic strip, 1t developed
that "Pippy," as we used to call
him, had grown up and married a
girl named Polly.
The editors of the Sun probably
weren't too surprised. however, be-
cause they'd had similar expert
ence with "The Gumps." They had
published the late Sidney Smiths
comic only few days when a man
named Andy Gump called to pro-
test against having comic-strip
character named after him.

A popular comic in The Sunday
Star Is Miss Cairo Jones'" written
by Jerry Albert and drawn by Bob
Oksner. Cairo. as you know. is a
very pretty blond. Bob just made
her up; there wasn't anybody in
real life like her-or, at least. SO
he and Jerry thought.
Walking along New York's famous
Fifth avenue one day, Bob saw
tall, beautiful girl step aboard a
bus. She looked, he thought, ex-
actly like Cairo.
Bob boarded the bus, too, and
was lucky enough to find seat
near the girl, where he could study
her at leisure. The resemblance
to his drawing, he decided, was
simply amazing-the same corn
colored hair, the same long, slim
legs, even the same full-hpped
mouth.
When she got off Bob followed

worried; she was f1attered by the
artists suggestion that she pose for
Cairo Jones.
Pat O'Neill was her name and
she was former Conover model
who had decided she didn't like
posing for commercial pictures. Now
she was modelling clothes.
Bob and Jerry insist that a great
deal of the credit for the unusually
rapid success of their comic must
