CAESAR RODNEY
SCHOOL NEWS

| The Caesar Rodney Alumni AS
ISOLATION, which lays claim to be-
ing the most active high school
alumni group in the state, has pre-
scented Caesar Rodney School with
modern intercommunicatio sys-
tenn with all the latest special fea-
lures.
The organization is holding q
public ham and chicken salad and
dumplings supper in the school
cafeteria on Saturday, May Z, with
all the proceeds being for the
"Intercom Fund" Mrs. Doris Cohee
is supper chairman and Charles
Pyott is in charge of an extern
sive ticket selling campaign.
The new intercommunication
system has 60 speaker outlets and
may be expanded to a total of so
units. The central station is located
in the high school office and is
connected with every classroom in
the sprawling plant Programs from
the auditorium may also be sent
over the system. In addition to
being able to send radio and record
programs or to make announce
ments from the office the system
includes a feature which enables
any teacher to originate call to
the office from her room and to
receive an answer without inter
rupting any other room. In the
interest of mutual trust and con-
fidence. the system will not per-
nit anyone from the office to
listen in" on a classroom unless
the classroom switch is held open.
The intercommunication system
is the largest but by no means the
first project of the Caesar Rodney
Alumni. The association annually
gives a $4,000 scholarship to a
graduate entering college and has
been a regular contributor to and
participant in the Caesar Rodney
Welfare Federation. Last year the
association purchased s speakers
for the school public address sys-
TEN in the auditorium, cafeteria,
and large gym. The cafeteria was
also the recipient of set of
window fans. The year before the
band was presented with a set of
new flags and a school banner.
The band uniform fund has also
benefited by Alumni help The or
ganization finances its activities
chiefly by means of serving din

veloped, is itself one of the most
unique and colorful groups of be-
levers today The Mennonites re-
ceived the seed of their faith from
the convictions of several young
Swiss University graduates, Con-
rad Grebel, Felix Mantz, and others
who, in the early days of the Re-
formation, were determined to have
a church based upon the same prin-
ciples as the Apostolic church of
the first century and started a
movement which came to be known
as Anabaptism. The church re-
ceived its name from Memo Sim
ons, converted priest who was
born the same year Columbus dis
covered America and who became
the leader of the Anabaptist move
ment in Holland.
The Mennonites have always ad-
hered closely to the fundamentals
of the Christian faith and have
never feared to declare it and have
an earnest testimony in simplicity
of life. They have many efforts in
worldwide missions and have
spread the gospel with a strong
evangelical ministry throughout
the old and new worlds. They adj
here strongly to the principle that
warfare and violence are un-Chris-
tan.
These evangelical truths have
carried them back to the dedicated
discipleship of the early Apostolic
church. Thus it is that the Men
MONTE Hour has shown sturdy
growth and has. won widespread.
popularity among Christians of all
UNCONVENTIONAL persuasions.
