FLAME AND SHADow-Night-
time and water have a fatal fas-
cination for Teens these warmer
evenings but it's not safe to swim
at night without foodlights. One
Teen club which sought to earn
money by sponsoring an evening
swim party in the river was per-
suaded by one of the faculty to
sponsor Burning Armada" con-
test. which drew younger and
older Teens alike to the waterside
for an interesting exhibition and
keen competition. Contestants
were invited to make model boats
of all sizes and types out of paper,
principally, with light ''toothpick"
wood for spars, etc. This called
forth wonderful ingenuity, and
marvellous boats and ships of every
class appeared for display and
judging on the long lighted tables
in the river park. Newspapers,
wrapping paper, roofing paper
were used. Some were examples
of exquisite craftsmanship. Each
craft, well paraffinned to the water
line, was submitted to the test of
floating in a large tank. After
prizes were awarded for the vari-
Gus classes, the boats were put to
the torch and started down the
slowly moving river - blazing
beautifully and rejecting them
selves in the dark water, while the
band played and people cheered.
Needless to say, the club earned
tidy sum and very satisfactory,
but safe evenings entertainment
was the result.

SWELL TIME-Teens have a
lot of fun writing those, Having

end and vacation spots. But the
backward spelling and penman-
ship don't give the postal authori-

It's quite a kick to write the ad-

TWENTY QUESTIONS - As
school is ending, we want to salute
the teachers who taught us more
than course work. Who taught us
how to live better, and improved
our attitudes toward life. One
Junior high Teen speaks of her
Bangor, Me-, home room teacher:
She's bringing us up!" Our
saluteS, too, to those teachers who
gave us definite knowledge to take
from each course. One chemistry
professor always lists twenty ques-
tlons from which the final exam
will be chosen-the twenty most
important facts. To be sure, those
answers will be learned so we'll by
every student that they are i'm
printed in his mind for a long
time. When you have to half
know" a hundred things. you re-

"The office of education will
keep in mind one fundamental idea

ing the use of George-Barden

funds were intended primarily for
further development of vocational
education There is ample evidence
to support this. Not only do the
words further development appear
In the title to the act, but the re-
ports of discussions in congress

firm this conception. In the report

purpose of this bill is to stimulate
the extension of the program of
vocational education in communi-
ties that r not now adequately
served with such programs and to
encourage the establishment of vo-
cational education programs in
areas not now served by such pro-
grams , Another part of the
report concludes by saying: 1T is
expected that the additional funds

Sions of this bill will serve to
Increase materially and steadily the
