mean to feel out soft spots, and
that they can be turned back
by firmness. Yet there will al.
ways be some risk Of accident
80 long as this condition d
pressure and counter preSsu,
persists.
The question really is wheth.
er the condition is durable. In
this connection it Is important
to study the official Soviet
strategy. This strategy was Dis
closed with astonishing frank.
ness by Andrei Zhdanov at th
famous organization meeting d
the Comm form. Zhdanov rallied
the assembled Representatives Of
the most important European
Communist parties for two grand
efforts; the effort to Transform
the Soviet world into sing,
monolith, and the effort to pre-.
vent the rehabilitation Of the
west by frustrating the Marshall
plan for European recovery. His
peroration consisted Of a series
of almost hysterical repetitiom
of the threat to wreck the Eu'
ropean recovery program at all
costs.
There is every reason to lake
Zhdanov quite literally. d.
velopments in eastern Europe
and the crises in France and
Italy, showed both the efforts he
called for actually beginning
while Messrs. Molotov and Mar
shall, Bevin and Bidault were
still in embittered session At
Lancaster House.
Yet it is vital to note mai
Zhdanov's main emphasis was
not on such local situations as
that in Greece, but on the 0fo8o
objective of preventing Euro
pean recovery. The reason
obvious. The recovery OF 'N
sixteen nations participating 10
the Marshall plan for Eufo9s
will drastically alter the WORN
power balance. After any su'n
alteration in the world poSa
balance, the Kremlin will al l@
be forced to come to terms, 'na

ior steps. Yet, they left the
school without knowing why,
where, when, who, or how the
tradition was started, and today
it is still questionable.
High school underclassmen
don't think anything about it un-
til they start mad rush to the
top. They wait patiently until
they are dubbed seniors and
then they snob their way up the
senior steps, Always they hav-
ing the desire from to defend
the steps and prevent class
mates in lower grades from
reaching the second floor, which
is a short cut to various classes.
High school members, only
know that year-in and year-out,
underclassmen at tie mpt to
reach the top of the steps by
rushing the senior classlnen,
VINO as senior member, de-
fend the gateway.
The high school faculty issues
fair warnings to disband when
group of underclassmen gath
er around the steps in prepara-
ton for the first mode of at
tack. A flag or storm warning
is not hoisted up the schools
flagpole when these warnings
are issued, but sometimes after
the onrush, you may view some
underclassmen's pants, shirts,
or other garments waving freely.
Besides clothing or some mis-
hap occurring after the fracas,
sometimes student receives
decorations, bruises, clothing
torn off and dirty, and on one
occasion a student received a
broken arm after an attack on
the steps.
All of this occurred out of the
privilege to use the front high
school steps.
Yet, the old tradition is still
clinging in the heart of the more
maturely built senior classmer
who usually are older and
stronger than members of tn e
fresh, soph, and Junior classes.
No one seems to have the
power to abolish the old tradi-
ton and establish a rule giving
all students equal rights per-
tanning to the steps.
Instead of forcing the students
to travel around the school
building when it is rainy, sleet-
ing, and showing, a portion of
the teachers and Alumni felt
they should have the privilege
of using the front high school
steps as short cut to the
schools second floor.
Various steps in the school are
designed so as to promote quick
er and safer methods for the
New Hanovians to reach their
respective classes. But they al
so force the students to reach
their classes in longer time than
if the steps were used freely for
both up and down traffic.
The tradition, which has nev-
er come to light but still is pre-
served by the students, will in
all probability continue until |
New Hanover high school is
abolished.

Memb bers of the senior class

Although traditions are or

During the early l900's the
old-timers began to find it cDs-

to journey around the school to
the side steps instead of using
the front steps, if they were late
for class.
Many years passed and It be-

year to year and school-to-

practiced in the present high
school at Thirteenth and Mar
