 TONIGHT, CAPITOL

"So this is New York" is the fea- ture opening at the Capitol The atre tonight. Henry Morgan is star red and included in the cast are such well known movie personages as Rudy Vallee. Hugh Herbert. Bill Goodwin, Virginia Grey, and Dona Drake.
 The film is based on Ring Lard ner's famous satiric novel of life in New York. The Big Town," and spares none of Manhattan's renow- ned institutions from the hotel bell hops through night life to the in violability of dramatic critics. The jumping off place for the story is the death of Uncle Fergus. a wealthy sausage manufacturer of South Bend, Indiana, and his leaving his estate of $60,000 to his two nieces, one of whom is married to Henry.
 Well, what would you do if you suddenly had $60,0O0 in your jeans? You will have to see this funfest with all of New York's gayety thrown in, to get the answer.

JUNEAU MAYOR, HIGH VOTE

The citizens of this independent little town showed its love for the big sister city of Juneau, or at least gave it's Mayor big vote ot confidence. yesterday by piling up a high vote of 131, for the Repub- lican aspirant to the House of Rep resentatives. This is even more surprising because the community is predominantly Democratic. Two other Juneau candidates. also both Republicans, were next high in votes cast with M. L. MacSpadden receiv. ing 97 votes and James s. MacKin- non receiving 96 votes. Elton Eng strom for Senator, also Republican, resident of Juneau, received his ovation with 124 votes out of the l69 cast. Voters apparently voted for the best man and not his party at this primary election.
 Judges at the election were John Mills, J. c. Johnson and Mrs. Jack Carlyle. Clerks were Mrs. Ed Bach and Mrs. Glen Franklin.

Girls Complete
Outstanding Record

The tenth grade girls have come
through with an excellent basketball
record for the fourth straight year.
Downing all their opponents for
four straight years without much
trouble, the girls were crowned
champs four times. Having achieved
a perfect record in all other sports,
these girls went through a four-year
season without loss, being the only
team from The Washington School to
accomplish such a record. Their
record breaking accomplishment had
its beginning when they started
playing together in the seventh
grade in 1947.
Becoming interested in sports at
the very beginning, the girls showed
promise and were given the best pos
sible coaching from Mrs. Slocum.
Beating all their opponents in their
own class, the girls finally were
thrown into competition with
such schools as Clear Spring, Will
Transport, Hagerstown High and
Frederick this year and they showed
their athletic ability by winning all
eight games and losing none. After
defeating Williamsport twice, the
girls became more enthused about
their chances of making the high
school varsity next year.
The girls met new rivals when
they played the Clear Springs var
sity, but they beat them twice, by
scores of 46-35 and 49-18. Next came
Hagerstown High sophomores, who
were yet to be defeated by a Wash
ington School team. Breaking the
old school jinx, the girls won both
their games by scores of 1881 and
1928.
Next the girls encountered their
Alumni, but had very easy time in
defeating them The final score stood
at 26-10 They then met Frederick
on the home court and won by a
1919 score.
Showing sportsmanship plus ath-
letic ability, these girls hope to go
on playing basketball for many
years.
Participating in these games were:
Huff, Moon, Unger, Shambaugh,
Manious, Snyder, Harshman, Schlot-
terbeck, Alder and Poffenberger.

In an interview with Mr.. Clyde
Downs, popular athletic coach at The
Washington School, your reporter
asked him to select an all-time bas-
ketball team from the boys he had
taught and coached during the past
three seasons.
Mr.. Downs began by saying: "Since
1913, when l came to The Washington
School, I've had many fine looking
prospects, SO it would be quite job
to pick one all-time Washington
team. But will do my best by pick
ing first and second All-Washing-
ton team and give few other boys
honorable mention" He then went
on: IF | were picking a f1ve-man
team to enter a tournament from
the boys I have taught, my selec-
tons would be: Terry Nose, whom
l taught in '48 here at Washington,
but would place him at center al
though he played guard in '48, be-
cause of his excellent playmaking
ability.
Eat the forward posts l would
start Al Cutshaw and Eddie Owens.

Some kids seem to get all the
breaks-and among these are the
school patrols.
Because of their splendid work in
protecting our school children, the
patrols are going to be rewarded by
making trip to Washington on May
Is to attend the annual school patrol
rally sponsored by the A.A.A. And
as if that isn't enough, plans are also
under way for a picnic to be held
during the last week of school.
The patrols, however, have really
earned this honor by their work to
reduce accidents in the building, on
the playground, on the way to and
from school and at street crossings.
In order to be a good patrol mem
Der one must: serve every period on
the duty assigned; remain at the
post assigned until relieved; be
punctual; maintain an excellent at
tendance record; attain a good scho-
lastic average; wear belt and badge
fully displayed when on duty; wash
belt each week; report all viola
tons to patrol captain or supervisor,
and attend all patrol meetings. In
addition to the duties listed above,
the captain and lieutenant assume
the responsibility for checking on
all posts daily.
The supervisor for the elementary
grades is Miss Pauline Ebersole, and
for the junior high, Mr.. Raymond
Scott.
Members of the elementary patrol
are: captain, Glenda Myers; lieuten-

Seventh Graders In
Wrestling Tourney

A new sport'was added to the list
of sports activities at The Washing
ton School last Thursday, when the
schools first wrestling tournament
was held. The contestants were boys
from the seventh grade.
The reasons Mr.. Downs gave for
starting these wrestling elimination
tournaments were: % that wrestling
is one of the best body building ath-
letic games; (2) that less accidents
occur in amateur wrestling than in
most other sports; and (3) that the
students in the seventh grade physi-
cal education classes were not only
interested in wrestling as a sport,
but were really enthusiastic about
it.
All boys have an equal chance to
win since they wrestle in weight and
size classes, and there's real thrill
awaiting the winner of each class,
for they will receive shiny gold
medal. Mr.. Downs has announced
that there are So volunteer contes-
tants, and it will be really interesting
to watch the outcome of this ever
popular sport. Judges at the matches
are: Richard Loudin and Roy Rudi-
sill, each of whom wrestled last year
at the Y.MC.A.
The only entrants in the 70-pound
division were Royce and Beaver, and
Beaver was declared the winner.
In the first round of the 80-pound
class, Crawford beat Zegar; Everly
defeated Barnhart, and Sanders ov-
ercame Nutter. Shank was given a
bye to the second round.
In the 90-pound class Baker won
over Socks; Mcdowell overcame Die
trick; Banzhoff beat Price; Smith
took the measure of Rowe, and Wish
ard won over Scufins Myers, Will
liams and Grouse drew byes to the
second round.
In the 100-pound class, Gossard
beat McMillen; Phil Moon defeated
Faulders; Meats won over Mulligan
with Bryan and Marquart drawing
byes to the second round. Olden
Anthony, Rem, Schlotterbeck and
Burgan were also entrants in the
100-pound class, but have not yet
been matched.
Here are the members of the 10
100, 1870 and 145 pound classes, who
have not yet got started:
110-pound ass-Purdham, Weav.
