Schools Dropped

There are n fewer one-room
schools than there were a year
ago according to DR.. Clyde His
song, state director of education
This represents a normal
trend, said DR.. Hissong, land
seems to be indicative of the de-
mand of parents interested in
larger school units so that their
children may have the benefit of
transportation facilities and other
school advantages"
In his report to the State Dir
ector Of Education, Robert l..
Robe, chairmanof the division of
school finance, indicated that the
total number of one-teacher
schools in operation in the l949-
so school year is 348. OF this
number, 334 are maintained in
districts under county Supervi-
sion while there are eight one
teacher schools in exempted vii
lage districts and six in city dis
trictS.
Mr.. Robes report Of 1949-5O
schools and school districts fur
ther shows that there were 76
one-teacher schools closed in l949
while five one-teacher schools
became tWo-teacher schools.
Holmes county has a greater
number of one-room schools than
any other county in the state. In
this county there are % in opera
tion this year. Next in order came
Belmont county with IS, Washing
ton with % and Darke with 81.
DR.. HiSsong said that there are
AZ county school districts in the
state in which there are no one
teacher schools. There are 20
number ranges from l to S, with
county districts in which the
six counties in this group each
operation but / one-teacher
school. In this group of % coun-
ties, there are 68 one-teacher
schools in operation while in the
remaining 18 counties there are

Vitomin A Content
Of Milk Shows Most
Seasonal Vuriution

The vitamin A content Of milk
shows more seasonal variation
than the other vitamins found in
cows milk, states r. G.. Wash
burn, assistant in the dairy de-

al Experiment Station.
This is true because during the
late fall, winter, and early spring
months, roughages that are con-

Al than do pastures.
Vitamin analyses of milk dur
ing the past year from 163 dair-
les scattered over Ohio showed
that the vitamin A activity of
market milk in December and
january reached a low level of
from 332 to 998 U. S. P. units per
quart. In contrast to this, samples
of milk obtained in June were
found to contain from 893 to 1774
u. S. p. units per quart.

Close All the Way
Almost from the very outset,
il was apparent that the game
was going TO be hard-fought since
it was plain to all observers that
the Monarchs were not up to par.
In the early minutes of the game,
however, there was constant hope
that the locals would snap out of
their Iethargy and start "rackin'
up the points"
But it was not TO be. AT the
end of the first period, Wester-
Vile held an 81 lead. During the
second period, Marysville out
scored the Dry-towners 1913 to
make the score tied at l7-all al
the half.
During the third period, Marys-
vile managed to get ii points to
only eight for Westerville, and
held a slender 1925 margin going
into the final stanza. In the last
period, the Monarchs just fell
apart at the seams, and Wester-
vile outscored them l7-ll for
their well-earned victory. At one
point in the final quarter, Wester-
vile held 9-point lead, but the
locals closed the gap to make the
final margin points.

Ever notice how much better
the Marysville cheerleaders are
than those from other schools
the MonarchS play?
Don't mean TO sound like we're
boasting because we're proud of
OF our town and school; the
MarySville cheerleaderS really
do seem better than the kids from
other schools.
When they get up to lead a
cheer, they have more pep and
enthusiasm than the opposing
forces. Moreover, their routines
are livelier and far more clever
than the others.
Don't know who originated
those routines in the first place:
the M. H. S. cheerleaders have
been using them for several
seasons now, with additions and
changes as seem appropriate. But
whoever it was, they had a lot
of originality and good ideas.
incidentally, cheerleading in
high schools has come a long,
long ways in the past several
years. Twenty years ago, we had
just one cheerleader and one
songleader.
Remember shorty" Rogers and
her tireless enthusiasm? She was
followed by Helen Simpson as
cheerleader, in 1880 and 81.
Don't know who came next,
but four years later when / came
back college, Marysville had
four cheerleaders and for the
past few years, it has been six.
Don't know if it's the wealth
er or signs of the times. but
we had our first tramp of the
season last week. asking for
old newspapers.
Before the war. it used to
be very common for the
knights of the road" to come
in and ask for a handful of
old papers. They use them be-
tween blankets and beneath
them for extra warmth,

He said this subject is especially
interesting to President Mays,

Prof. Davis said his group was
not here by anyone's special In

in Poland and hoped also to visit

the shallow water we used no lead,
but clipped on 2 ounces when jig

There were other boats fishing
right along with us using exactly

them later at the dock. The
nearest number of rockfish caught
was four. Two of the boats had
one each and one had three fish.
Under the circumstances, our
catch of A was remarkable, and
might be considered luck except
