Students in Miss Longs home

straws, bottle caps, and napkins in
their desks when the Speech Class
began making its after-dinner
speeches this past week. Presenta-
tions for the week were in the
forms of a basketball banquet-an
all-girls team-a Southern political
banquet, and class reunion.
Those students were lucky they
didn't find pizza or pickles in their

settled over London High as once
more those all-important cards
were handed out. There is, how
ever, one consolation; the end is
rapidly approaching!

County Baseball
Tourney Opens

Madison County high school
baseball tournament got underway
Monday with seven schools par
ticipating in the annual spring
event. All games are being played
on the West Jefferson diamond. No
teams were seeded, it was a free
draw in which Plain City drew the
bye for the first round.
Teams participating in the tour
ney are West Jefferson, Mt. Ster-
ling, Midway, Madison Rural, Mon
roe, Fairfield and Plain City. South
Solon and Canaan, the other two
schools in the county, do not spon-
sor baseball this year.
In the opening games of the
event, West Jefferson was sched-
uled to play Mt. Sterling at l pm.
Monday and Midway to meet Mad
iSon Rural at $50.
Tuesday Monroe squared off
against Fairfield at $3.50. The win
ner of this game was to meet Plain
City at $3.50 Friday afternoon.
Winners of Mondays games were
tomeet Thursday at $50. The WIN
ner of Thursdays game will then
meet the winner of the Plain City
game in the finals Tuesday after
noon, April 26th at $3.50. The coun-
ty champions and the runner up
will then advance to the state dis
trict tournament at Columbus.
As usual, the Plain City team is
tagged the favorite to win the
county wide event, but they will
likely encounter plenty of compe-
tition from the winner of the up
per bracket. Both West jefferson
and Mt. Sterling have strong
teams, but unfortunately they
were to clash in the opening game
of the tourney.

WASHTNGTON LETTER


WASHINGTON - Are rela-
tions between human beings,
grouped together as nations,
coming to rest on dead cen
ter?
This is an alarming possibili-
ty, but both His Holiness Pope
Plus XII and President Eisen-
hover have hinted at such an
eventuaiity.
In mechanics, dead center"
obtains when something that is
supposed TO turn comes to rest
in such a way that, no matter
how hard you try, the tendency
to turn applied to it in that po.
Sition amounts to zero. Therefore,
it does not turn. 1t is useless un-
til it is moved off the dead
center by some other force.
In his 1854 Christmas Message,
which actually was published on
January 3 Of this year, because
of his illness. Pope Plus warned
that the present coexistence"
must either be raised up into
"eoexistenee in fear OF Cod or
"it win shrivel more and more
into a frozen paralysis of inter
national life"
Three days later, addressing
