High School Chatter
By Clara Blevins

A number of exciting events took
place this week, but by the ending
of next week all the thrills of both
gladness and sadness will be over.
Last Wednesday, at a business
meeting of the Quill and Scroll,
Betsy Cannen was elected president
of the organization. She will have
nothing to do this term, but her
duty will be to keep things running
smoothly for the group next fall,
until president and secretary are
elected from the senior members of
Quill and Scroll
Anne Stouffer was elected pro
gram chairman and will give the
first two programs next year.
At an election held on May Is, the
Hoo Wair-N-- What" staff elected
Nancy Saylor, Editor-in-C Chief, and
Anne Stouffer, Business Manager, of
the 1947-48 H.W.N.W.
Nancy is the daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Mac r. Saylor, and was born
April IA, 1880, in Altoona, Pa. She
moved to Hagerstown in 1910, where
she attended Antietam and Wood
land Way Junior High Schools.
She was a member of Miss Innes
Boyer's journalism class of 1945,
and it was there that she first be-
came interested in Journalism. AS
a result she became a member of
the school papers feature staff this
year and runs a column in it called
''Kookery Konconctions" In addi-
ton to her studies, she has partici-
pated in the activities of the Span
ish, Dramatic, Auto Drivers and
Tri-Hi-Y Clubs, and she was elected
to the Quill and Scroll.
Anne, the daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Brewer Stouffer, was born and
has lived in Hagerstown all her
life Anne has attended Broadway

Schools, and has always been in
terested in newspaper work. Dur
ing her sophomore year she was on
the HWN.W. sports staff, and
upon becoming a junior she was
elected to the position of Girls
Sports Editor.
Anne is an active member of the
Dramatic, Tri-Hi-Y and Current AT
fairs Clubs, and is an instructor in
physical education at the YMC.A.
To these two, l extend my best
wishes, for I'm certain their new
responsibilities will take a lot of
hard work, but here's hoping they
have the determination and courage
to reach their aims

can't help it if we were born just a
year later than they were.
Now for things that are to be.
Last October, the Breakfast Club
was organized, the first of its kind
(that we have heard of in the coun-
try. The purpose of the club was to
help failing students in various sub
jects. The Breakfast Club was in
session from 8:15 to 8:45 every morn
ing and the tutors were students
recommended by their teachers as
having AS in the subject they were
to coach in.
Later, Bob Hoffman was appointed
Chief Tutor to lead the tutors. His
duties as such were to direct the
general activities of the club, preside
at meetings, etc. Bob then appoint
ed a secretary, Roy Henck, whose
duty it was to supervise the attend
ance, recording and reporting the at
tendance to the advisor.
There were Breakfast Clubs rep
resenting practically every subject
taught in the high school, including:
plane geometry, Spanish l, Spanish
II, French, United States History,
chemistry, trigonometry, biology,
and physics
At least one business meeting of
the Breakfast Club tutors was held
every month in an effort to solve
any problems that occurred. At the
close of each marking period a sur
vey was made in order to determine
those students who should be at
tending the tutorial classes.
During this first experimental
year, the tutors have had the oppor-
tunity to observe the advantages and
weaknesses of the club and are
planning to operate larger and bet
ter service organization next year.
Climaxing the closing of the
Breakfast Club, a swimming party
will be held June 9, at II o'clock
in the morning, with the students
leaving from the high school,
Those invited are all the tutors of
the club and all students who at
tended the class more than ten times.
Admission will be free.
Baccalaureate services for the
graduating class will be held in the
Hagerstown High School auditorium
Sunday, June 8, at 7:30 p. m. Rev
erend Charles M. LeFew, pastor of
the Washington Square Methodist
Church, will conduct the services.
At recent meeting, the Senior
class voted to wear the graduation
caps and gowns at this Sunday even
ing service. Relatives and friends
are invited to attend the services.
And Wednesday, June II, folks,
will be the great day. The seniors
will be free, on their own, and Heav-

Bread Fresh up

Two research chemists, H. H.

as polyoxethylene stearate, a frac-
ton of an ounce of which will keep
bread fresh for seven days. Short
age of raw materials for the paste
has prevented widespread use so

We cling to life, but it is fragile reed
that is likely to break at any time.
Judging by the actions and attitudes
Of some of us. one would be led to believe
that we look upon life as sort OF Rock of
Gibraltar. strong enough to repel all at
tacks on it. But often, in the snap of fin
ger. we begin what Theodore Roosevelt
called the Great Adventure.
However, most of us have feelings suf
ficientlv acute to sense regret over the
death of persons we had not known or
heard of. Such were the deaths Wednes-
day at Minis, Florida, of banker and his
wife who were killed instantly in an auto
mobile accident, and the deaths of faith
err, mother and their five-months-old son,
caused by monoxide fumes in their home
in st. Petersburg, Florida.
The father had forgotten to turn off
the gas stove, and the fumes from it took
away their lives.
It was not explained who was to blame
for the automobile crash, but of one thing
we may be certain, there was a lack of
precaution.
Overlook something, in the home or
out of it, and frequently it leads to the
loss of life One, at first thought, would
think that the home is the safest place in
the world for human being, but more
deaths are caused by accidents in the
home than on the highway.
Yes, life is frail thing. 1t should have
no place for envy, spite, hatred, or
cupidity. Brotherly love should be the
dominating factor in life, but we are for
ever at one another's throat, actually or
figuratively speaking. Man must live
much, much longer before he cloves his
neighbor as himself"

BIBLE READING PROGRAM

The first printed edition of the Bible
was the work of Johann Gutenberg, of
Mainz, Germany. 1t appeared about the
middle of the Fifteenth Century and since
that time the Bible has been translated,
in part at least, into 1880 different
languages.
The American Bible Society is spon-
soring Bible-reading program, beginning
on THANKSGIVING Day and continuing until
Christmas Day. Sunday, December ID,
has been designated universal Bible Sum-
day." The idea is to emphasize the univer-
sal appeal of the sixty-six books in the
Bible and it is hoped that many millions
of people will follow the suggested daily
Bible reading.
We call attention to the program be-
cause we think the habit of reading the
Bible will be good for the people who read
The Citizen. We make no attempt to in
terpret the message that the Book con-
ment a thorough reading of the books of
the Bible.
Without calling attention to any par
ticular verse or chapter, we note that the
Bible Society suggests that the Bible be
read quietly and slowly, alertly and
thoughtfully and that passages which
"strike fire" should be underlined, copied
| and repeated This is good advice and
we trust that it will persuade some of our
| readers, at least, to read the Bible and
get its message for themselves.

LOCAL GOVERNMENT LACKS MONEY

The National Municipal League,
which recently held its annual conference
in Nashville, Tennessee, gave its major
time to discussion of States rights and
home rule, with speakers from all parts
OF the nation warning against federal
domination and continued dependence on
Washington
Nobody suggests the basic reason for
the lost balance between federal, state and
local authority. 1t bOils down to a simple
question of finances. The federal govern
ment has been in possession of SUPER
abundant revenue, while many states.
counties and cities have not been able. or
willing, to take the steps necessary to
secure adequate revenue for their govern
mental duties.
One answer to the problem, it seems to
us, would be plan by which the large
sums collected by the federal government
under income taxes, could be divided be.
tween the various units of government
Naturally, until the federal government
meets present emergency demands and
reduces it's national debt, the idea ia not
feasible.
However, the day will come when if
can be done and should be done.

MONOGRAPH
LABOR is BIG BUSINESS

In an Illuminating editorial appearing
in the United States News, David Law
renee recently pointed out that labor fixes
price-yet is, exempt from the antitrust
laws. That situation, at time when the
government is bringing antitrust actions
against many large industries, should be
thoroughly understood by the American
people.
Mr.. Lawrence cites the recent Goa
wage agreement as an example of wage
price-fixing. The mine owners had to raise
the price of coal to compensate. That led
to higher steel prices, which in turn led
to higher prices for an innumerable list
of commodities. In addition, the railroads
fuel bill was heavily increased-which is
the reason, in part, for their having to
ask higher rail rates which, when grant
ed, will give prices another upward
nudge.
The argument that wages are not a
major Influence On prices was proven
absurd long ago. In the coal industry 81
per cent of all income is paid out in
wages. III 'eA'heo' S1 per cent goes 10 Ia
Dor. In machinery and other metal
products, 80 per cent is required to meet
the payroll. So it goes, down the line. La
Dor, by both direct and indirect means,
can fix prices more surely than any al
legged industrial combination in restraint
of trade.
Mr.. Lawrence writes: Congress
should =. legislate to include labor
unions with other monopolies and prohibit
all combinations that fix prices and pre-
vent natural competition" Organized la
Dor is one of the biggest of big businesses
these days, with monopolistic powers Sec
ond only to government. In the name of
the national welfare, it should be treated
precisely as is all other business.
