Memorial Day Saturday This Saturday we pause to honor our nation’s dead, and specifically our nation’s war dead. Many flowers will be placed in our cemeteries. But many of us will also be on the highways, where 525 Americans were killed last year during the Memorial Day weekend, and 18,000 more were injured. Let’s don’t end up statistics this year! A large percentage of these unnecessary deaths and accidents can be attributed to the overconfident and complacent driver. Be realistic and concentrate fully on the task of driving, especially this weekend. There are five lethal types of overconfidence behind the wheel: 1. An inflated opinion of one’s own driving ability, which does not permit the driver to adapt sufficiently to changing conditions. 2. Overestimating the abilities of others on the road, which keeps the driver from being prepared for emergencies created by the mistakes of others. 3. Ignoring the physical laws of nature and the mechanical limitations of an automobile, which blunts the driver’s judgment and reduces his actual control of the car. 4. A refusal to acknowledge common hazards * that can arise any time for anyone, which lessens the driver’s alertness and concentration. 5. Exporting that skilled doctors, understanding employers and generous juries will patch things up in case the driver does happen to have an accident. , The accident-free driver has no false ideas about his ability, or the ability of others, on the road. He knows and compensates for his own limitations, as well as other users of the highway, those of his car and those imposed by nature, the road, and traffic. The accident record for last year’s Memorial Day holiday revealed that night driving, drinking and driving, and speed too fast for conditions were the primary factors involved in most of the mishaps. If people would place the same importance on driving a car as they do on buying a car, accidents would not be the problem they are today. Too many motorists regard driving as a means of getting from one place to another without regard^for how they do it or all that "is involved/’' Driving is a full time job, one that demands the entire concentration of the driver, both physically and mentally. He must anticipate the worst from others, the weather and the road. Overconfidence, like alcohol and fatigue, have no place behind the wheel of an automobile. Editorial written by— Dick Heller

AMIHII Fitness Program-New Aim By STAN MUSIAL Consultant to the President on Physical Fitness From the time I was 17 years old until shortly after I became a grandfather last fall, my whole career depended upon my being physically fit. I have more reason than most people to appre-

ciate the importance of good health and physical proficiency, and I am looking forward with all who are promoting physical fitness at the state, community and school levels. We must get over the idea that a good athletic program is a good physical education program. In a large high school, the varsity athletes make up only about 10 percent of the student body. The girls and the rest of the boys rarely get sufficient exercise and training? They are the ones who need help most, and we must see that they receive the same oppor-

tunities, the same encouragement and the same high-quality instruction we provide for our athletes. . In the months ahead. President Johnsen’s Council on Physical Fitness will devote much of its time and effort to strengthening its working relationships with governors, chief state school officers and state supervisors of health, ~ physical education, and recreation. The Council's chief objective will be the implementation of a vigorous activity program for. every boy and girl in every school in the land. We also will strive to stimulate greater interest and participation in fitness activities by parents, military personnel, college students, and others. President Johnson has pledged the support and assistance of his office for all programs which benefit the health and welfare of our citizens. — — In a message to the National Convention of the American Association of School Administrators, President Johnson said that the need for sound physical activity and health education programs in our nation's schools was “of great importance.” The President urged every school administrator to provide a balance of activities which will enable all boys and girls to develop and maintain good health along with intellectual, moral, and spiritual qualities. “Only in this way,” President Johnson, continued, “can we be assured that America’s future—today’s youth—will be vigorous, creative, and participating citizens.” There is much to be done. As our nation becomes increasingly dependent on the conveniences of this age, the ability of our youth to stay physically fit is going to become more difficult. The answer to the push button will have to be constant attention to the health of our youth. Any ether course will be harmful, not only to this country, but to every citizen. We cannot tolerate a situation where the Army must call up seven men to find two physically fit aoldien. During the Berlin crises, for example, it was necessary to call over 750,000 men in order to get the 196,000 men we needed. It is clear that our manpower resources are not sufficient to tolerate this kind of disparity between the physically tit and the physically unfit. The late President Kennedy put the problem succincxiy when he said that “we are under-exercised as a nation. We look instead of play. We ride instead of walk. Our existence deprives us of the minimum of physical activity Hsenlial for healthy living.” j

CRESTVIEW HIGH By Terry BoMenbacher Just one more day! Yes, semester exams were given on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and tomorrow will be the final day of the 1963-64 school year. Sixty-nine of the students who will walk out of the doors of C. H. S. tomorrow, will not return, at least not as students. Consequently, many bright and bubbling freshmen will walk through these same doors next fall. As a senior, I would like to wish these freshmen the very best of luck and hope that they will enjoy their days at Crestview as we seniors have. — C. H. S. — “Prom Finalee” was the title of the dance the juniors sponsored last Friday night in the school auditorium. As it seemed a shame to take the prom decorations down after the prom on the 15th, the juniors decided to use the auditorium and prom decorations for the last dance of the year. This turned out to be a huge success. — C. H. S. — Last Friday, May 22, was awards day. At this time many certificates, medals, trophies and other such awards were distributed to the most outstanding students at C.H.S. Congratulations to all! — C. H. S. — It has taken twelve years of hard word but we have finally made it. Leading the seniors in their scholastic rating is Miss Sheila Meyers, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Oren Myers. The salutatorian of the class of ‘64 is Larry Gehres, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Atlee Gehres. We would like to congratulate each of these students on their wonderful achievements. — C. H. S. — • “Look upward, riot down; look forward, not back” is the motto chosen by the seniors. It is sure to be a big help if all of these stu-. dents will use this motto throughout their lives. The song chosen by the seniors is, “Ours is the World;” the colors, navy blue and white, and the flower, a white carnation, ■ - C. H. S. - _ Monday, June 1, which is the day after graduation, the senior?, full of pep and energy will leave on their class trip, which i? to New York with a visit at the World’s Fair included. The same seniors will arrive home Friday but whether or not they will have as much pep and energy as they

left with is uncertain. — C. H. S. — My last week at C. H. S. and my last week as news reporter, it seems very simple but holds many pleasant and unforgettable memories. Since I enjoy writing very much I would therefore like to take this opportunity to thank those who read this column and most of all to the staff for making this wonderful opportunity as news reporter for the Democrat possible. I send my deepest appreciation and thanks to all! —C.H. S. — ' ' . DECATUR CATHOLIC HIGH By Patty Schurger Rm hi Election for the student council ended the campaigning on Wednesday. All classes were privileged to have a break and hear the presidental candidates’ managers speak. By Tuesday all candidates had exhibited their most clever campaigning devices. Mike Reynolds became president and Barney Schultz, vice president; Sandy Sutton, secretary, and Jane Schultz, treasurer. We hope their work will be as effective as their campaigning. — D. C. H. S. — All students seem to be fully aware that the school term is about to end, for not only are they looking forward to the lazy days of summer but are also dreading the semester exams which they have been taking this week. — D. C. H. S. — When the band practices “Pomp and Circumstance,” the seniors become dewy eyed. They are happy to be graduating but yet sad to be leaving D.C.H.S. Their dance, the graduation dance, is nett Tuesday and the D day or graduation day, is a week from Friday. —— — — D. C. H. S. — I’ll be checking out for this
