THE 18TH ALUMNI BANQUET
was voted a grand success Saturday
evening by the 251 graduates who
came from far and near to attend.
But it was Mrs. Edith Mann, who
deserves the title of Bluffton high
schools most loyal alumna. She has
attended 81 out of the 81 annual
reunions since her graduation. That
is a record few will ever beat, it is
our guess.
Among those unable to attend
Saturday, but who sent letters were
Stella Owens, '89, Dallas, Texas ana
Earl Mohler, 'O2, Sunnyside Fla.
There were 21 members out of 81
of the Glass of 81 which was observ-
ing it's 25th anniversary. Included
was Gar Griffith, who had served as
class president in the senior year

Moon Round Trip
Using Fuel Only on
Tukeoff Forecast

LONDON. Nov. 10 (P).-Mos-
COW radio said today a Russian
scientist has figured out a way
to shoot a rocket around the
moon and back to earth without
using any fuel except on take
of.
The scientist was identified
only as Prof. Chebotaryov Of the
Institute of Theoretical Astron-
omy of the Soviet Academy of
Sciences.
I'VE believe the flight Of a
rocket to the moon and around
it may become a practical prop
osition within the next 5 or IL
years" Prof. chebotaryoV was
quoted as saying. -
Fuel will be required only tc
start the rocket OF on itsfflight,
he continued. THE initial speed
Of such rockets must be SO miles
per second. Near the moon this
speed will drop to zero"
The broadcast did not elabo-
rate on these details.
Prof. Chebotaryov estimated
that the rocket round trip would
take about 10 days. He said ira
jectories had been worked out
which would allow rockets to
circle the moon at a distance
Of between 3.l00 and 3,700 miles.
