THE PAST
BY CAROLYN LLOYD

This is the season of class re-
unions, when old grads attempt to
turn back the clock, and sometimes
succeed for few hours.
The years pass so quickly that
it was something of a shock to
receive notice from my alma
mater that the twenty-fifth re-
union year had rolled around. My
first reaction was one of disap-
pointment that the festivities
would be held on day that con-
flicted with one of our local conf
mencement activities, making it
impossible for me to go to Green
vile. On second thought, it SEEM
ed just as well. Since we look at
ourselves every day, we sometimes
fail to realize the toll taken by
the years. When, however, we
meet someone whom we haven't
seen in many years and see the
change in them, it becomes obvi-
Gus that the years couldn't have
left us untouched. AS matter of
fact, my ex-classmates probably
wouldn't recognize me, anyhow,
for on that graduation day
twenty-five years ago was just
that many pounds heavier than ]
am now. l would like to see the
girl who ate at the same table
with me for three years, ate twice
as much as l did, and remained
as skinny as a beanpole, just to
see if the situation is reversed.
Thoughts of the reunion have
brought memories of some of the
glorious foolishness Of youth. On
the night before graduation, six
of US who could hardly bear the
thought of parting after the years
together put two twin beds to-
gether and slept, if we slept at all,
diagonally across them. We vowed
never to lose touch with one an
other and to keep on sharing our
joys and sorrows through the
years, but that was just another
youthful dream.
On Saturday night, the ten-year
reunion dinner of John A. Wilkin-
son High School alumni brought
home again the swift passage of
time. There sat the Class of '37,
who at the time of their gradua-
ton seemed very young to me.
Now one of them is Belhaven's
postmaster, another is a fellow
teacher with whom I play bridge,
and they seem like my contem-
poraries. No one could have con-
WINGED me on that graduation
night twenty years ago that /
would be one of the faculty men,
bers attending their reunion. It's
enough to mike one curious as to
what the reunion of ~ will bring.
Yes, it's all great fun for few
hours. The ex-classmates remind
each other of the devilish things
they used to do, think their secret
thoughts about what the years
have done to the others, and gen.
orally re-live their youth. The
present graduating class tolerates
the presence of the cold folks"
and refuse individually to believe
that they will ever be middle
aged. Finally the conversations die
out, and the parents begin to
think of getting home to their
children. The illusion of being
teenagers once more fades and
waits to be revived again ten years
hence,

Farley Re signs as Wldlife Head; Sec. Names Ja1lzen

MILWAUKEE, R - Leaving office Friday, John l.. Farley struck back at critics who ac- cused him of destroying morale and supervising d negative pro- gram during four stormy years as head of the nations Fish and Wldlife Bureaus.
 The resignation Of Farley, a center of conservation controver- sy since he replaced career man as dirctor of the U. s. Fish and Wildlife Service in 1853, was ac- cepted by Interior Secretary Fred Seaton today.
 Farley cited, among achieve ments of his administration, the prompt, rastic but scientifically sound" measure of the so-called Farley plan for restoring the dwindling salmon resources of Alaska.
 In that area, he said, athe long trend of diminishing abundance has been reversed"
 Another challenge, he, added, was the management of migratory waterfowl land particularly the integnation of the states and fly way councils with the federal government in the development of regulations and research pro- grams"
 The service was reorganized last year by Congress into sep arate bureaus of commercial fish cries and of sports fishing and wildlife. Farley's resignation was rumored earlier this week,
 Seaton's announcement in cluded' appointment of Daniel H. Janzen, regional supervisor of the Service at Minneapolis, as per manent director of. the Bureau Farley headed in a temporary capacity since reorganization.

Don't Know if Ike Is Still the Same
 Man. Says Zhukov

NEW DELHI, R - Marshal Georgi K. Zhukov declared today the Eisenhower doctrine for the Middle East undoubtedly is a step toward war"
 The Soviet defense minister, who has exchanged several let ters with Eisenhower since their wartime association, added in a chat with reporters that the President might not be the same man he knew in Germany 12 years ago.
 Of the Mideast doctrine, the touring Soviet Army leader de clared:
 q do not know if Eisenhower really is its originator. But it is meant for interference by using American capital in the Middle East militarily and economically. It is a new edition of the old colo niast policy"
 After he said the Russians were sure the Arabs would reject the Eisenhower plan, Zhukov was asked why he did not make his views known in a more intimate fashion" to his "old friend' Eisen- hover.
 Zhukov, speaking through an interpreter, said after apparent deliberation: s-
 Eisenhower is my old friend as soldier. I do not know what is left of him as a soldier-whe- ther he is still the same man."
 Zhukov's remarks were made at cocktail party he gave for Prime Minister Nehru and other top Indian officials. He talked with neWsmen minutes after Nehru left.

Astronomy Notes
By OLAF HALVERSCN

One of the most impressive spectacles in the sky lies in the center of the sword of Orion. The sword has three stars in it with the central one appearing misty.
 A large telescope discloses that this is not star but a beautiful cloudy mass of nebulae which covers the entire central part of the constellation. A photograph uncovers a still further surprise because the eye of camera is more sensitive to light than the eye of a telescope. The photo graph reveals that the nebulae spureads in all directions and even beyond the boundary of Orion.
 There are also vast masses of dark nebulae in the Nebula of Orion. The dark nebula has the appearance of veil-like clouds which obscure the light of the stars beyond them. The nebulous clouds are believed by many as tronomers to be cosmic dust par ticles driven out from bright stars.

Make Tne Most
OF Auto Trip

THIS IS THE SEASON when
American families take to the
road. Tne average family travels
about f,400 miles during a vaca-
ton by car, surveys shows. Many
go much further. But too often
they rush to get to a destination
and rush to get home. Experienced
travellers offer a few tips for max
ing the most of the drive itself:
1. Set your daily mileage goal
a little lower, to allow time for
sightseeing and picnic lunches
along the way.
2. Husband and wife should take
turns at the wheel, with the wife
taking over, at least briefly, IN mla-
morning and mid-afternoon.
3. To guard against browsing at
the wheel, carry some caffeine tab
lets in the glove compartment
good as a cup of coffee.
4. Stop earlier at night. It may
take time 10 md Recommendations,
and tiredness mounts at the end
Of the day.
5. Pack your bags so that only
one small bag each is needed for
the overnight stop.
