Norma Dean Lewis. pretty Lewis, 39 Bellevue Square, main &ained a reputation as the most outstanding student at Weaver High for the past year.
 There would be hardly any. oppo- mition to the statement that Miss Lewis crossed the finishing tape of graduation as one of the most out standing graduates. Probably, sine looms as the most honored stu dent of Hartford Public Schools.

 There are some who have become discouraged over the functionine of the United Nations. However. we must bear in mind that the United Nations could serve man kind only if we stop reserving our greatest efforts and sacrifices for war and contribute at least a part of such effort and sacrifice to the cause of durable peace which here tofore has been regarded as a par adox. Justice, human freedom, and peace cannot be achieved ty mech anical devices within tha United Nations, bit only by the will, per- severance and the capacity of each of us to support it.
 Thus we are faced with the pre- eminent fact that if mankind is to survive, we must cultivate the science of human relationship. and thereby make it possible for peo- pies of all kinds to live and work together in the same world at peace.

we have reproduced in full below the prize-winning essay delivered by Miss Lewis at the Weaver Com mencement ED.
 OUR SHRINKING WORLD
 "This is not the world of yes terday when the oceans were meats around our ramparts."
 Science has annihilated time and space and has made of the world one large community.
 Progress in the swift grim bus mess of destruction has been ap- palling. New shadows o6 aggres of all free governments threatened by the encroachment of systems and ideologies utterly foreign to their ideals. This present world dilemma combined with the worlds search for it's equilibrium without which no stable peace is possible, has tended, in a sense, to make the earth much smaller.
 These present world tensions and conditions present great chal- lenge.
 What is this challenge?
 What lies ahead for us graduates in this ever changing world
 This is our time for greatness!
 New opportunity has come knocking on Americas door to] take up international responsibil- Nies which we failed to assume after the World War One.
 This blunder did it's part in bringing on the last war, the most destructive of all wars. Today. however, the responsibility Is 1n-

 Is it any wonder then that the world presents have caused the hopes of peace to be so fervently entertained by peoples throughout the world?

Goren on BRIDGE

The holdup play-that is, the re-
fusal to win trick when well able
to do so-is q bit of strategy that
the tyro picks up early in his exper-
ience. It is employed almost ex-
~clusively at no-trump, where it is
desired to run one player out of
the suit so that If he subsequently
obtains the lead he viii have none
to return to his partner. That 1t
can with equal effectiveness be en-
ployed at suit contracts does not
seem to occur to great many play
ers.
When, after East's two-spade bid,
South jumped to game in diamonds
he hoped thu partner might be
short in the adverse suit. 1t will
be seen that a contract of three no
trump could have been fulfilled
with virtually no mental effort, but
South found it rather awkward to
get there. This is usually the case
when the weaker of the two hands
holds the stopper in the adverse
suit. A bit of ingenuity on South,s
part might have landed him in the
safer no-trump contract. 1t would
have required an unorthodox bid.
One that perhaps is not technically
correct. but yet strategically sound.
The call we have in mind is a bid
Of three hearts over the adverse
spade bid. There is not a great deal
of danger that partner will support
that suit, because If he had four
hearts of any reasonable denomi-
nation he would very likely have re-
sponded with one of the majors In
preference to raising the diamonds.
Furthermore, should North sup
port hearts, South was in position
to return five diamonds, which he
had made up his mind to bid any
how. The heart bid might have in
duced North to try no-trump If he
had a spade stopper, which proved
to be the case.
Against the five-diamond con-
tract West led the jack of spades
and the outlook was not bright for
declarer. It appeared that two
spades and the ace of clubs would
have to be lost. There was, how
ever. q remote chance-that is, IL
West held the ace Of clubs. This
was not likely In view of the fact
that East had bid, but it was the
only hope. If East had five-card
suit West would have only two
spades. So declarer permitted the
jack of spades to hold. The suit |
was continued and ,declarer took |
the second trick. Trumps were |
drawn and then the king of clubs !
played. West was In and had no way
to Give partner the lead. The losing /
SPADE was therefore discarded on
oummy's queen of clubs.
