were Betty Davis and Bobby Will

Bounding in a little later we're
Mary Anne Jenkins and Hugh

Later on the evening found some
OF us heartily devouring the peach
shortcake and soft drinks. We
missed Nancy Winningham and
Jimmie Page, who couldn't quite
make it out there.
Many of the senior girls Of the
Tri-Hi-Y began to wiggle uncom-
fortably and wait patiently but
burning-ly for the glorious day
when a smooth golden tan would
replace a hot pink baking! But
it has happened every year about
this same time, as this particular

The weekend wouldn't have
been the same without the boys
hanging around the place. The
RO1C Officers Club held a house
party also on the beach; but since
the senior girls were having theirs
at the same time, the officers
settled on being moochers. Just
plain moochers. But we didn't
mind too much, even if their visits
were too obviously around meal
time. They did wash the dishes
once! The gals gave the food, the
fellas gave the b%oatrideS;
Rex Willis shot up and down the
sound, leaving Neal Partick's less
powerful cupboard motorboat in
his wake, with either Bobby Wilsin

Some of 'em watching Meals

AS Sunday morning rolled
around, we gathered our belong

with a wistful air, left for home
and soothing suntan lotions as the
last of our houseparties closed.

Last Saturday night found some
Of the officers and their dates

A solemn line OF seniors, donned
in flowing grey robes and with
elated faces glowing under the
traditional caps, will march into
the MINIS auditorium tonight in
the second OF the graduation TX
ercises, Class Night. Highlighting
the evening will be the p~resenta-
ton of two of the successful
Speech Arts one-act plays, where
the Cross is Made" and Finger
of God"
Starring in the first of these are
Frank Bradley, Catherine Mac.
Rae, and Robert McCarl, playing
the parts of the brother and sis
ter and the mad father. Assisting
very ably are Dick Hanson, as
the doctor; Bill Quinlivan, E, L.
Lewis, and James Swart as the
drowned sailors returned from the
sea.
Holding the main character part
as the aliased Mr.. Alfred Stevens
in the dramatic production, Fin
ger of God" is Jimmy Caudill,
who once again displays his SUI
perior talent in this play. Sup.
porting members of the cast are
Mary Anne Hamilton, as the calm
secretary, and Frank Bradley as
the "righthand man." Directing
the two plays are Frank Bradley
and Clara June Ward.
Not only for their enjoyment but
also because these two plays show
SO excellently what the high school
student is capable OF, they were
elected to be presented again on
Class Night.
Though the skies were grey and
the clouds heavy, Fate willed the
bottom to fall out after the Bac-
culeaureate Vesper Service Sum-
day afternoon, much to the relief
Of the seniors. Putting aside the
cherished caps and gowns, a large
group of graduating gals and guys
headed for Mickie Hartis's new
home in Winter Park for a. buff
,et supper.

er: Weddell, when he graduated
from high school two years ago:
and I want to pass it On 10 you
dedicated to the AZ graduates.
You are nearing the date of a
big affair;
An event as you know, that's
exceedingly rare.
You've Tapped up praise and
warmed at cheers:
You've taken rebuke and
fought back the tears;
You've worked until dawn on
a Chaucer theme
To be finished with school
was your favorite dream.
Now the end is in sight, your
memory's stirred
The grammar school plays,
their plots now blurred;
The games of marbles, spit
balls in the hall.
In the eighth you were big-in
the ninth pretty small.
The Friday night games, the
Saturday dances.
The mad dash at lunch, the
multi-romances-
The more you recall, the more
you doubt
That you're really so happy,
at last getting out.
Your emotions are mixed,
you're lost in a haze
A touch of nostalgia for the
good old "daze."
But think of the future, it's
really not bad.
Look forW'd-not aft; and try
to be glad.
You're ready to graduate,
sure, and It's true;
But that not only means that
with High" you are
through.
But that you're a man among
men in a nation Of nations;
So for this worthy achieve
ment, Congratulations!

Whisky Imports
fWashington Post

Charles Luclman head of the Citizens Food Com
 mittee is in favor Of banning imports of distilled spirits during the 60day suspension of domestic dis tling In his opinion the industry will be subjected to certain amount of unfair competition if the ernment permits unrestricted importation of foreign liquors while our distlers shut down. There is in addition an obvious lack of consistency in a policy that tends to encourage imports of foreign spirits made from grain while producers trying to conserve grain for export by suspending distilling operations.
 Notwithstanding these logical arguments in favor of temporary ban imports of distilled spirits the arguments against MT Luckmans proposal seem to us to be much more cogent The domestic distilling in dusry little fear from foreign competition since imports constitute only small fraction of domestic consumption of hard liquors. For example it is esti mated that imports of Scotch whisky account for only 5 per cent of domestic consumption. Furthermore hgh-prced imported whiskies offer no real competi- ton to Iower-priced domestic whskes, while in the higher price ranges consumer demand is largely de- termined by tastes and habits that put limits on domestic sales of foreign whiskes. Finally, and most important the imposition of ban imported spirits would deprive foreign countries of dollars that they sorey need to build up their exchange and reduce their dependence American financial aid. To be the amount of dollars earned by foreign countries from shipments of whiskies and other spirits to the United States is small averaging only 5.4 mill lion dollars per month in 1946. And the take of any single exporting country, such the United Kingdom and Canada, is, of course, only fraction of that limited sum. Nevertheless every little bit helps relieve the pressure of the dollar scarcity.
 If we are honestly determined to assist other countries achieve balance in their International accounts and thus hasten the restoration of foreign trade based on exchange of goods, must be prepared the goods that these countries have to offer in payment of our exports While the ex clusion for brief period of imports of distilled spirits would not entail any great loss of dollars to individual exporting countries it would undoubtedly strengthen existing suspicion of the sincerity of desire to assist world rehabilitation by following liberal trade ocicies that enable debtors to find outlets for
 their goods in the American market. The resentment and fear aroused abroad by a temporary ban importation of distilled spirits would be a high price to pay for the dubious gains resulting from such ill-judged attempt to propitiate the domestic distilling industry.

OUR HALIBUT FISHERY

Edward w. Allen, Seattle attorney and inter national authority on the joint Canadian United States halibut fishery operation, has an article m the November issue of Nature Magazine which shows what can be done the field of cooperation between nations Says Allen: Maybe the United Nations today would be working more smoothly if our own government and other governments had shown greater interest in practicing with commonplace cooperative efforts of the type of this commission in other fields as well as fisheries before launching forth spec tacular worldwide basis.
 During the First World War. and immediately afterwards halhut became such popular food that the fishing fleet multiplied in the Northern Pacific and after some good years the catch per boat started to go down At least it became almost unprofitable venture
 Out of this fishery depletion came the 1nterna- tona Fisheries Commission ratified by treaty between the United States and Canada ili 1924, under which joint body regulates the halibut fishery.
 The results? The catch has been restored from a state of depletion to where out of a world total of 85 million pounds of halibut caught, 50 million pounds now come from the Pacific Coast banks and

Actually, in our smaller towns it didn't stop-hecause you can't beat the small-town spirit of Americans when it comes to doing things for their neighbors.
 But it did stop nationally. We disintegrated our great wholesome spirit of working together as a na- tion.
 Some people. of course, blamed President Truman. But while MT. Truman is not spectacular lead CT. it wasn't really his fault. It was the fault of too many people who started putting themselves ahead of their country. Business began con- centIating on profit. John L. Lewis put wage increases ahead of his country. A lot of other people did likewise. That was the most tragic aftermath of the war.
 Gradually, however, I think people are coming round to realiz- ing that we've got to continue the patriotic spirit that attends war without the killing that attends war. We have got to think about other people rather than the all mighty dollar and we have to keep on doing this long after wars are ended.

 But despite their earlier pledges to the State Department, not one representative of the Associated Press, the United Press or the In- ternational News Service has been aboard the Friendship Train.
 Fortunately, the State Depart ment had it's own neWsmen accom- pany the train and he has been sending daily reports to the Voice of America which, in turn, broad casts the story of American gener- osity to the people Of Europe. Also, the Armed Forces Radio has told the story of the Friendship Train to it's estimated audience of 93,- 0C0 900 in all parts of the world. The big U. s. radio networks like wise have been on the job with the McClatchy Broadcasting Com panv throwing several thousand dollars worth of commercial ad- vertislng off the air to broadcast a running story of the crowds that come down to see the Friendship Train.
