Tolling of Ships Bell
Off Mount Vernon Is
Navy Regulation
Prize Contribution
By 'Dottie Muir, II
,o;YbeYx b,r, INA I,pior H;ob Srbool

Gaithersbura (Md) Junior High School
For many years. people thought
the custom of the tolling of the
ships bell while passing Mount
Vernon, on the Potomac River, was
started by the British in the War
of 1872, but a few years ago, among
the records at Annapolis, it was
found that the Americans began the
custom IL years earlier.
Three ships of the new United
States Navy were sailing up the
Potomac in the spring of 1901. The
first ship passed Mount Vernon
without saluting or tolling its bell,
and little farther up the river it
ran aground on sand bar. The
next two ships tolled their bells as
they passed the mansion, and they
went safely up to Washington.
After that, it became a custom for
all river boats to toll their bells as
they passed Mount Vernon.
I1r 1906, President Theodore
Roosevelt was going up the river on
the 'Mayfower. AS the presidential
yacht passed Mount Vernon, the
bell began to toll The President
asked if it were Navy regulation,
and was told it was just a custom
When President Roosevelt arrived
In Washington, he had the custom
made a Navy regulation.

How to Get Along
Prize Contribution
BY EIizobeth Koiser. 9
ST. Eruncix xaNier School

One day I was dreaming in the
classroom. The teacher caught me.
I was just thinking about what one
must 90 to get along in this world.
These are the things one ought to
do:
l, be kind; 2, be good; 3, be gen.
erous; 4, obey teacher; 5, help with
work; 6, obey parents; z. think
hard; 8, learn lessons.
It is easier to write 1t than to
do it.

lust Between
Ourselves
By Philip H. Love

With spring just around the
proverbial corner, now is about as
good a time as any to do a bit
of house cleaning. So here are
some items that have been kicking
around in my notebook for some
time, presented just as I come to
them-which is to say in no particu-
lar order other than the well-known
miscellaneous:
Charles Redmond, treasurer of
the February graduating class at
Eastern High School, won his
diploma in two years, instead of the
usual three. He has travelled in
every State on the Atlantic sea-
board and, he says, likes New Eng
land best-perhaps because he was
born in Portland, Me.
Woodrow Wilson High School
students seem to excel at ice skat-
ing. In the Middle Atlantic States
figure skating contest in New York,
Ann Davies captured first place in
the ladies' novice and senior dance
division, and second place in both
mixed and girls pairs. Another
Wilsonite, Carol Hendricks, placed
fourth, and still another, Nancy
Miller, fifth.
In the intercity competition in
Baltimore the same Nancy Miller
won first place in the senior divi-
sion, and another Wilsonite, Nancy
Berquist, came off third best among
the juniors.
"Prettiest brunette girl" among
the February graduates of McKin-
ley High Schol, according to Tech
Life, was Eleanor Maddo. Other
ratings reported by the student
newspaper include:
'Prettiest blond girl" Marion
Marnix; "handsomest boy" Albie
Thompson; most likely to succeed,
Powell Moore and. Ruth Duncan;
most popular" Tiny Gable anl
Kitty Trittipoe; "best all-arouno
boy and girl" Jack Keneally ane

Factory Visit Leads
To Story on Making
Of Chocolate Candy
Prize Contribution
By Henry Fonkhouser, Is
coIyin Coolidge High School


Have you ever visited a chocolate
factory? Well, it is an experience
that should never be overlooked.
The story of the chocolate bar
really starts in the faraway coun-
tries that produce cacao beans,
These beans are dried and packed
in their native countries, then
shipped throughout the world. The
United States consumes nearly half
of the worlds cacao output.
When the beans are received at
the factory, they are cleaned and
roasted until their shells become
brittle. The shells are removed,
leaving what is called the nib"
The nibs are ground until they be-
come liquid chocolate. Large por-
tions of sugar and milk are mixed
into huge pots of this bubbling sirup.
From these large pots, the sirup
is poured into large pans. or molds
The molds then enter a cooling
chamber in which the chocolate
hardens within half-hour.
The chocolate continues its jour-
ney to the knockout" department,
where the molds are emptied. A
piece of cardboard is placed over
the pans, and the mold and card
board alike are tipped over and
gently Knocked" against a board
releasing the hard chocolate onto
the cardboard
Millions of labels and wrappers
are produced each day in the fac
tory's printing department. Special
machines are used to print with the
aluminium ink used on the wrappers
The raising of the letters also re-
quires special machines.
In the wrapping rooms, the boxes
are put together; the candy bars
are wrapped and put into the boxes
the boxes are sealed, ready for dis
tribution throughout the United
States.
Besides the manufacturing and
printing departments, the factory
which 1 visited is equipped with sep
arate lunch rooms for men and
women, lockers for every one of the
employees and emergency and first
aid rooms.
Girl: There's only one thing wrong
with you.
Boy: Why, I thought I was all
right.

Blessed Sacrament School
I think of the snowy weather
And of people out in the night
AS lie before the fireplace
With its glimmering, fiery light.
I see in the flames so red and bright
The snow, the hunger and cold;
The coming in of the new year
And the passing out of the old.
I wish could see the future
In that fiery light of mine,
The flames SO red, the flames so
bright,
The fire, the light and the shine.
But the fire is slowly dying
And my thoughts must go with it,
So think not again of the future
Till another fire is lit.
