Lou Young had figured where the

The Chesapeake Bay Bridge
also is something of a monument
to William Preston Lane, jr., the
Hagerstown newspaper publisher
and attorney who was Governor
of Maryland from January OF
|1947 through 1850.
Pres Lane, when he was cam
paigning for Governor in 1946, in
sisted on promising a Bay bridge
would be built if he were elected.
The Federal Government had
turned down the idea as a public
works project in early New Deal
days. On another entreaty, the
Reconstruction Finance Corp. re-
fused to lend money for it.
Stumped State for Span.
But Pres Lane stumped the
State in 1916 preaching that the
bridge could and should be built.
No sooner had he moved into
the Governors mansion at An
napolis than he set out to make
good on his promise.
Those who arose to object were
legion.
Put on another ferry" said
one. That's all we need"
'Mr. Lane pointed out adding a
fifth ferry would hardly lift the
capacity to more than 400 We
hicles an hour. while the bridge
would move up to 5000 an hour" !"
Build a tunnel" others cried.
He spent 100000 to demonstrate
a bridge would be better.
"Defile the beautiful Eastern
Shore by easy access? Never!"
That was another plaint.
The shipping people were vocal.
The bridge, they said, would seal
of Baltimore from the world Of
commerce that is its lfeblood.
The Army engineers, who have
jurisdiction over navigable inland
waters, sided with them until Pres
Lane got busy in Washington. The
bridge plans were changed to meet
their objections. That is why there
is an easy bend in the bridge near
the western shore.

Round The Edges

By Ernestine Mathews

The band shop recently began
their annual spring tour of the
grammar schools. Since this tour
originated last year, this "adver-
tisement" has been responsible for
bringing many new students to
Tech. The band hopes that the
students of various schools have
enjoyed presenting them.
Everybodys talking about it!
Yes, everybody is talking about
the wonderful performance of the
"Masque Of the Yellow Moon" on
last Friday and Saturday. Tech
has received lots of phone calls
and letters congratulating them
On the fine job they have done.
Techs part was concerned with
chronological subjects. The final
and best part of Techs act was,
girls dressed as cotton plants.
They were cultivated by twenty
dancing farmarettes.
All of the juniors and seniors are
getting their dates arranged and
doing lots of planning for their
prom tomorrow night. The theme
OF this years prom is, Garden
of Memories"
The cosmetology department is
being kept very busy this week
getting the girls all fixed up for
the prom.
The Girls Athletic Association
is sponsoring picnic on May 16.
Only the members can attend,
and they may bring a date. The
picnic will be held at the school
farm at Southern and 21st Streets.
The girls in the PIE. classes
are now starting their softball
tournament The teams will play
after school between 3 and p IN.
The students had a chance ito
vote for the prettiest girls .at
Tech. They voted for the girls they
thought had the prettiest eyes,
personalities, figure, etc.
Thought of the Week: He that is
of the opinion that money is every
thing may well be suspected of
doing everything for money.
Joke of the Week: A small dis
appointed boy seeing his new little

works by dragging against the
water through which it is passing,
but, if the wind is behind the ship,
and blows hard enough, the water
may start piling along as fast as
the rudder, so that there, is no drag

even broach to. Or the sea may
push one way on the hull, and the
wind another, and the rudder a
third, so that the resultant Of the
