HIGH SCHOOL (Geraldine Fagerstrom)

The party last Friday night was a success. It started at seven, when the Freshmen were put thru different stunts and tricks by the Juniors. By 8::30 the Juniors were exhausted and made the Fresh men clean up.
 By nine we were dancing and begging for the "eats," which the Sophomores and Freshmen sup pliec. After we lad eaten we did the Virginia Reel.
 After that most of us calmed down and just danced, until 11:30 when we broke up the party and went home We all had a very enjoyable evening, = even the Freshmen!
 The typing II class has been busy helping Mrs. Cameron cata- log the library.
 The assembly has new black window shades which will be a great convenience when movies are shown.

Beta Sigma Phi
By CAROLINE READER

The sisters of Beta Sigma Phi sorority met at Ruth McLean's home Thursday evening with Bet ty Alexander, our president, who has just come down from the Kougarok conducting the meeting.
 We were pleased to have Cor ky" Woodward as a guest for the evening and we will be enjoying more guests at future meetings.
 Beverly Morgan presented the social calendar for the year with each girl in charge of a different affair. Shirley Goedde, who is the October social chairman, filled our ears with exciting ideas for a box social. and square dance coming soon. The girls will ar range to practice the dances ahead of time so that on the big night we'll know just what we're doing. "Corky" knows someone who will make an excellent "caller" so we expect the affair to be rip snortin' success.
 Soon we'll be losing two mem bers-Carol Jones, who has been with us for a year and Ruth Mo Lean, who was an original mem Der of the charter chapter which formed three years ago. Ruth made a great sacrifice Thursday night when she presented the sor- ority with her own personal scrap book which she has kept during her three years in this chapter. It is very complete and so interest ing to new members and to old member who want to reminisce. We thank you, Ruth, for being so conscientious in keeping a scrap book and then for giving it to us to treasure during the years ahead.
 We were glad to have Louise Bockman with us again. We are looking forward to having Rita Harper return and also new mem bers we hope to pledge into our sorority.
 The cultural portion of the meeting was just fun. With Omie Mccarthy in charge of the pro- gram last night we really had to know our lessons. Being an ex- schoolteacher, she could tell if we had studied or not and if we didn't we wished we had. Terry and Maybelle showed how to be happy through relaxation. Harriet and Shirley showed the effect of happy person on a gloomy per son. Caroline presented examples of the value and worth of friend ships and companions as a source of happiness. Vivian told how morals and the ability to live by them are necessary to happiness. All members participated in dis cussion questions and also per sonal definitions of happiness.
 While enjoying cookies made by Ruth and Ellen and coffee, we viewed some slides belonging to Betty Colby that were just beau tiful, showing the girls in formals at past affairs.

The old tavern which once
housed most of the canal COM
pany's employees is located at
Great Falls; it is now used as Of
fees of the National Park Service
of the Department of the Interior;
the front part of this large build
ing is an historical museum hous-
ing the relics and mementos of
the old canal, and displaying on it's
walls factual as we'll as pictorial
record of its inception and method
of operation. Most of the muse
um's display has been contributed
through the courtesy of the Mont
gomery County Historical Society.
In this interesting and Informal
tive place one can readily form a
mental picture of this passive,
waterway giant which, from 1927
to 1886 (when it was bought by
the United States Government)
carried Georges Creek coal in
ponderous boat loads from Cum
berland to Georgetown, D. c., re-
turning, lightly-laden, against the
current, with many of the products
and comforts of eastern civiliza-
ton. There were several hundred
of these canal boats; each had a
maximum tonnage of from 100
to $50 tons, or two extra large,
present day railroad gondolas.
But this is to be another Beauty
At Your Back Door" effort we
shall try to set down at a later
date.
No report on Great Falls would
be complete without, at least, a
passing mention of one of its
natural resources, gold, cleaning
gold. In 1864, this precious metal
was discovered at Cropley, a
couple of good stone throws from
the Potomac cataract. And, in
one of the tiny rivulets nearby, a
farmer picked up a nugget the
size of a hens egg and assayed
for over $500. However, al
though heroic (and costly) efforts
were made to drill shaft (Which,
incidently was done) and although
large quantities of gold-bearing
ore was brought to the surface,
it was finally decided that it was
impossible to mine it in profitable
amounts, and the enterprise was
abandoned. Afterwards, several
more or less lethargic attempts
were made at other points close
to Great Falls to mine gold; all,
however, were unsuccessful.
We were at Great Falls just

HONG KONG-(NC)-Want TO
trade months rent for q new
house: 1t can be done if you
want the house in Hong Kong,
according to Father John Cur
ran, Maryknoll missionary here
from Butte, Mont.
Father Curran is working
hard to help refugees build
homes at the resettlement
camp at Ngau Tau Kok. He kept
an accurate expense account on
some of the homes and came UP
with this testimony:
"We built a house IL by II
feet at cost of only 700 Hong
Kong dollars or about SIPS in
American currency. Another SO
was spent on the site. The house,
plastered in and out, is of stone
quarried nearby. The wood for
doors and windows is camphor.
The roof is asbestos sheeting;
the floor cement"
Father Curran insists that
more cooperation among the
refugees will bring down the
labor costs and eventually slow
er the cost of house still
further"

Bv Vietnam Reds

HANOI, Vietman NC)-Ten Ca

condemned to death by commun-
ist tribunal at Vinh.
News of the trial" and sentence
was brought here by the priest who
managed to escape before his
scheduled execution. The priest
reported that many other Catholics
and priests are being held in Jail
by Ho-Chi-Minh's Reds and are
slated to be "tried" soon. Four
priests have received long sent
ences of hard labor.
The priest reported that Bishop
John Baptist Tran HUI Due, Vicar
Apostolic of Vinh, is being held
under house arrest at his resi-
dence. The Bishop had earlier
been "tried" by the communists
and sentenced to death. However,
the execution has not been carried
out.
The Catholic schools of the area
have been forced to close as COM
bined result of communist restric-
tons and lack of finances, the
priest reported. He added that cate
chism classes for children are still
permitted.
