2 Stranded
4Hours on
River Rock

Two teen-age explorers were
rescued last night from a lonely
rock formation on the edge Of
the Potomac River at Great
Falls. whehe they had spent
nearly four hours awaiting help.
James Woodward, II. Of 6933
Emerson street. Woodlawn. and
Loralie Hubert. Is. Of 57l9
Sixty-fourth avenue. Riverdale,
were on a church outing with
q group Of 40 from Ascension
Lutheran Church. Landover
Hills.
1--WE wanted a better look at
Great Falls" James related.
I'VE climbed on a pointed rock
sticking out across the water.
Then we jumped about six or
eight feet straight across to
another rock. but when we
tried to get back, we found we
couldn't make It."
When they realized their
plight, James said, they tried
to find q fallen tree to make
q bridge. but were unsuccessful.
As darkness fell. they decided
they had no choice but to wait.
Meanwhile, members Of the
church group counted noses,
noticed the two were missing
and called Park Police. The
lights Of searchers appeared on
the cliff opposite James and
Loralie about IL pm, and they
shouted for help.
"They built q bridge out Of
10 tree and helped us back, /"
James said.

When the bus proceeds at q

said.
Mr.. Ream reported that his

Final School Exams
Set For Thousands
D. Pilot Plan
To Be Tried in
Selected Groups

Thousands Of District high
school students are In for a new
and perhaps not too pleasant
experience during the re-
naming days Of this school
year.
For the FIRST time, they will
be taking comprehensive final
examinations.
Although the teen-agers may
not be exactly overjoyed at the
prospect, many school officials
are delighted.
The exams this year will be
given only In selected courses
and selected schools.
But If this pilot program is
successful. the tests could be-
come a standard part Of the
academic program In all schools
and in all courses.
Selected Glasses
Students taking elementary
algebra. geometry, eighth and
eleventh grade English and
second-year French, Latin.
German or Spanish will be TAX
| ing the exams this year. &C.
cording to John D. Koontz. as
sistant superintendent mt in
charge Of junior and senior
high schools.
Additional finals, covering
virtually all subjects, will be
given in at least two high
schools - Coolidge and Spin
Igarn.
A committee Of teachers,
principals, and school admin
istrators are in charge of the
program. If it proves a success.
Mr.. Koontz said, I'VE may come
up with some recommends
tons"
] Some Of the exams will last
one 45-minute period; others.
such as English, will take twice
as long. They will vary on for
mat from multiple choice to es-
lsay-style. In some cases, teach
ers will make up their own
Questions; in others, stand.
Iardized test will be given.
Purpose Outlined
I'VE don't want to over
emphasize the Importance Of
finals" Mr.. Koontz said. Max
ing them count too heavily in
establishing final grades would
. result in students spending
their school year preparing for
exams. instead of learning q
subject. he explained.
He stressed that some form
of final examination, however.
provides valuable review and
makes the student organize
what he has learned.
1T gives necessary expert.
ence for college hound stu.
} dents, too" he said.
The pilot program was start.
ed, he said, in response to re.
quests from the Senior High
School Teachers Association.
This summer the results will be
; evaluated.
Work for Teachers
One important consideration
will be the effect the exams
will have on teachers, who will
suddenly be burdened with
m n additional correcting
work at the very end of the
school year.
1T is possible" Mr.. Koontz
said. that the current sched-
ule for ending out the year will
} have to be revised, so that
teachers will have time for the
work" Any such action would
probably require approval Of
the School Board, he said.
Although exams at the end
of the year have been given in
the past. they often were not
really finals" covering all the
work in the course. There also
has been no standardized sys-
tenn for giving them or for
evaluating them.
IF the exams prove q success
and we start giving them on a
system-wide basis" Mr.. Koontz
said. "it would be a major
change in the academic pro-
gram"

SOUTH BEND, Ind, Nov. "a
CAP.-For a $3.50 season,
Coach Joe Kuharich's first
Notre Dame football campaign
today ended with surprising
success.
This is the strongest team
we played all year." said Don
Clark, Southern California
coach. after the Irish whipped
his Trojans, 1876, in the season
finale for both teams.
The rather crisp decision over
the seventh-ranked Trojans left
the Fighting Irish with a SIS
record.
1t also is noteworthy that the
Irish finished by upsetting
Iowa, the Nations No. 2 Often
sive club, and a Trojan team
which had won eight straight
before last weeks 1913 upset by
UCLA.
The Trojans defeated, among
others, Ohio State. Rose Bowl

juniors back next year." said
Kuharich. "It will hurt to have
only five juniors because you
need those men for leadership.
The sophs will have to carry
the load"
Clark said the tough Irish
defense forced the Troians to
pass more than they did all
year (38 attempts).
"The thing that hurt us was
that our receivers had Is tosses
pitched right into their hands,
but they dropped the ball." said
Clark.
Clark said that an ankle in
jury to Guard Mike McKeever,
one Of the Trojans' twin line
terrors, kept him inactive ex-
cept for brief first half appear
ances. He declared Mikes
brother, Marlin, was great at
end most Of the contest.
"As for today's game" Clark
continued, that (George) Izo
and Monty Stickles would
make it rough on any team
they play"
Kuharich estimated that the
early season injury loss of Izo
and Halfback Red Mack weak
ened the Irish by so per cent
on offense. "I can't say we
could have bettered our SIS
record with them, but we would
have been a lot stronger on Of
