Two desks which had just been vacated recently were* full of waste paper, and when Miss Hammon went to seat a couple new students in these seats, she 1 had to empty the desks first! It is, lam sure, not necessary to drcard your waste paper in or on these or any other seats. It makes somebody else a lot of work, to say nothing of the inflection on your character! Would it not be just as easy to fold you?* waste paper and lay it neatly on top of your desk until the bell rings, when you can put it in the wastebasket on your way out of the study hall? It would save someone else work, and would make the study hall look one hundred per cent better. . Do not think that I confine this idea to the study hall alone! It goes also or everywhere you are and in everything you do. 1 am, however chiefly concerned with how neat you are on the school premises. We have ope of the best schools in the county, and we should be proud enough of it to keep it so. “ORPHANS OF THE STORM” ■HB .., MwOwll f ’ .-W' ' X f / •' 'b - A ei ■ \<; ■- I " ■ ' X*' .- > ■ ' VZ " ' . IMk Fleeing a tornado near Clyde, Texas, parents of these babies were killed, their automobile tossed a quarter-mile away. Hours later a telephone lineman heard a child’s whimper In a roadside ditch. There he found 3-year-old Jesse Donald Rutledge, water up to his chin, holding his 3-months-old brother Daryl’s head above water. Relatives being unable to care for the orphans, Red Cross workers arranged a maintenance fund to support them until they are 16. A Texas college promised scholarships and ranchmen started a herd of cattle for their benefit The Red Cross will help the boys make adjustments as they grow older.

' School Corn Husking Contest The agriculture classes held a corn husking contest on Thursday, October 20 at Wayne Coy’s 4-H field. They left in the middle of the forenoon and finished about 3:30.

Billy Wiggs third with 126 lbs., 6 deducted, leaving 120 lbs. Excepting Bob Burrows stiff leg from falling off the piny, a few watermelon fights and Charles Miller’s flat tire we got along pretty good. We husked 15 minutes.

FOOTBALL FLASHES Elkhart Again Victorious Elkhart retained their undefeated record last Friday by defeating Rennsalier in a well fought battle. Although the score was large on Elkhart’s part, the yardage, did not show such a large difference. Elkhart’s scores were piled up on long runs by Elliott and Swihart. Warsaw Defeats Plymouth Running wild for the first time this season, the fighting Warsaw eleven defeated the Plymouth eleven by a score of 19-7. DePauw Suffers First Defeat of Season Scoring in the first and fourth periods was not enough to enable DePauw to stop the Manchester team, and although the score was only 7-6, DePauw had to take her first defeat of the season. Predictions Ball State at Valparaiso—Ball State will win (or should). Butler at Wabash —Wabash is dangerous, so watch out. DePauw at Chicago—Not much chance for Chicago. Indiana at Wisconsin —First big ten win for Indiana. Purdue at lowa —Purdue all the way. Elkhart ties into Goshen next week. Goshen is hampered with injuries, but with all their losses they couldn’t play as bad as they did last year.

New Figure Appearing on Phone Books

The drawing “The Spirit of Communication,” which is being adopted as a standard design on the covers of tnany Bell System telephone directories. It pictures the 22-foot symbolic bronze figure, “The Genius of Electricity,” which surmounts the headquarters building of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company in New York. Wherever he may travel throughout this country, the American telephone user recognizes the “Blue Bell” as the symbol of a familiar and

convenient telephone service. Now one more symbol is being adopted which will gradually become almost as familiar on the covers of Bell System telephone directories. This is the drawing known as “The Spirit of Communication," adapted from the statue called “The Genius of Electricity.” Since 1916 the symbolic figure “The Genius of Electricity,” in gilded bronze, has crowned the tower of the Headquarters building of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company in New York City. The statue was the successful design in a competition participated in by eight leading sculptors. The heroic winged figure stands poised on a globe, his left arm pointed toward the sky from which he has snatched , the thunderbolts grasped tightly in his hand. His right arm supports coils of a telephone cable, one end of which he holds, while longer loops sweep gracefully around his body. Located 434 feet above the street level, the statue is about 22 feet high from the tip of the thunderbolts to the bottom of the globe, which is supported by a delicately molded pedestal of Greek design conforming to the architecture of the building. The statue with this pedestal weighs 16 tons. This weight, and the great area of the wings, which extend about nine feet from the body, imposed definite engineering problems both in hoisting the statue into place and in maintaining it in position against the high winds which sometimes prevail in New York. During a storm, it is interesting to note, the thunderbolts faithfully perform the role they represent, for they serve as a lightning rod.
