Graham C 5 0 1 Officers Your Support J. F. Cooper, neatly elected presi- dent of the Mount Vernon Chamber of Commerce, correctly stated it when he said the Chamber of Com- merce was a serious matter for every business and professional man in town. Mr. Cooper said he would work hard at his job as long as he had the cooperat~n of the organiza- tion and when he didn't have it he would quit. We feel that be means exactly what he says. He mentioned t~e business that goes out of town as only one thing to which the chamber could well turn its full attention. Tom ,Meredith said that the Chamber needs the help of every man in town. The Chamber ,begins the year under favorable :circumstances. Mr. Cooper, president, Charles Nutt, vice president, Charles Grier, secre- tary, and Mr. Meredith, a new director, are all comparatively new comers here who have ideas which have been successfully used in l other places. The accomplishments for 1941 will be the sum total of effort put forth by the entire membership. Every business man owes it to his own interest to attend the meet- ing~ and take part in the program. It is humanly impossible to work out a program that will completely suit every last member. But it is a principal of democracy that the majority rule. So let's get behind the new officers of the Chamber and carry out a successful prO- gram in 1941. National Crisis Demands More Production Some means of preventing strikes and lock outs must be devised in a hurry if this country is to meet the urgent need for war equip- ment. William Shirer says in an article on, "Life in Germany During the War," that German workmen work ten to 12 hours a day, six days a week. This country can never catch up in the production of de- fense equipment with its 40 hour week and strikes. If the emergency facing this country is great enough to demand that the president be given dictator- ial powers and that an army of 2,000,000 and upwards be con- scripted, it is vital enough to quite monkeying with the 40 hour week and continual strikes. The admin- istration's program is very incon- sistent in this particular. The awful need of war equip- ment both for England and to re- place needed equipment sent to England, makes the length of the work week and the continual strikes a matter of the most vital importance, and one which the ad- ministration has covnpletely failed to solve "God Bless America" On the journey down here, (Ari- zona) we noticed in hotel lobbies, eating places and in other business .places, placards and silken banners beautifully em:bo~sed with the words, "God Bless America--truly a prayer wa should humbly offer every day. Then we fell to won- dering if God would bless a na- tion that all but forgot God until their national existence was threatened ? Without professing to have unusual knowledge of scriptural truth, we are quite cer- tain it teaches that the Great Rul- er of all men and all nations, ~generally blesses through human instrumentalities -- through the willingness of man to .be blessed. We, the people of America, have "been rushing pell moll toward' Paganism, and away from Godli- ness. Let's ,be honest enough to admit it and then we can, without ~being Pharisaical, sincerely say, "God Bless America."--Ed. Smith in Winterset Madisonion. ~mester Honor Roll 12th Grade--Don Current, Flor- ence Downey, Louise E. Dvorak, Marian Fisher Jean Houstman " .

One of his most promin- ent activities is music; we are all familiar with his baritone voice. Don started out on his musical career when he played the title role in "The Toymaker," when he was in eighth grade. The following year he played the bass horn in our school band, and ~became a mem- ber of our mixed chorus, in which he has been a promnient mere'bet for four years. That year, while a freshman, he played the .part of the Toreador in "Carmen," McTavish in "Harmony Hall" the following year, and the leads in both oper- ettas to be given in ,March, this year, Now, isn't that some record? Oh, but that isn't all. Don has been in Dramatics Club since a freshman and he had a part in both, "Kind Lady" last year, and "June Mad" this year. In another line Don has also 'been bery active and that is athletics. He made four letters in football and two in basketball. He did not play bas- ketball his junior year because of his work at the neighboring station. In all organizations we have seen Don very well represented, M club member for four years, Honor So- ciety, having been made a member during his Junior year, on patrol during junior high years, and serv- ed on the Student Council last year. Don has a hobby too. He likes guns and hunting but with that heavy schedule we certainly don't see how he fits them in. Best of luck to you Don in whatever field you decide to go into, and don't think we won't miss you here at M.V.H.S. Jean Heasty looked a modern ver- sion of the gay nineties in long skirts and blouses! The two prizes were awarded to Rita Travis and Joyce Hunter by Mr. Carl, *because of their unique costumes, kits, was dressed as a pirate girl with rubber 'boots and a huge hair ribbon. Joyce was an old fashioned girl in a black skirt and white blouse. Later in the evening refresh- ments of grape juice and cookies were served by the National Honor Society who sponsored the dance. WARD ,~C"HOOL NEWS The kindergarten visited the Post Office two weeks ago. Now they have made one of their own. They made mail bags and caps for the mailmen. 'Some of the children have been making doll beds out of orange crates. Lois Carle, a fourth grade girl, has been absent for a week. The fourth grade put up a grocery store. The fourth grade have "been studying limericks in English. Some of the pupils have written limericks of their own. Book clu,b met Jan. 24 and elect- ed the following officers: Presi- dent, Nancy Dean; vice president, Dick Wineor; cecretary, Becky Lou Current. At the meeting selections from books were read by Eloise Littell Nancy Dean, and Martha Osgood. The fifth and sixth grade boys played basketball against Lisbon Wednesday night and beat them 19-13 Jim Hudelson scored 11 points, Phil Farr and Delmer Luettjohann each scored 4 points. They ,beat them again 19-17 on Sat- urday night. Donald DeCamp has been out of school nearly two weeks ~because of tonstlitis. Reporters: Francis Hoodmaker, Jim Hudelson. ~. N.H.L. QUESTIONNAIRE Last Friday, a questionnaire was put out by th National Honor So- ciety. It was a student self-direct- ing questionnaire. There were many different questions; such as, Do you do your own work? Do you par- ticipate in classroom discussions? There were three places to be checked, "Good, Average, and Bad." No names were put down, only hum'bets, so when checked no one will know what answer was put down by any person. In the end each pupil will have a chance to see his own rating in relation to the rating of the whole school. GOSSIP Mary and Hudelson's new motto at the dance: "Everyones a fool but US." Carolyn got so mixed up over trying to decide which to wear to t, he dance . . red flannels or ~: harem costume . . . that she didn't go at all. Speaking of the dance . . . what would the girls in the stag line do if Mr Hawker didn't go to the dances ?

That handsome (?) man in the Don Dolezal Our second Don this week Don Dolezal, a :boy, who has at- tended our school for his four high school years. He received hts grade school training at Riverside and Jackson country schools. Don has been a familiar figure around M~. Vernon since he has lived in the country near here all ~is life. His main activity is physical training, which he has taken all four of his years here. Den's hobby is tinker- tng with machinery, fixing It or taking it apart, mostly taking it; apart since it's so much easier, but anyway it seems like a very pro- fitwble hobby since he has to drive a car to school every day, and in all kinds of weather. His favorite subjects center around mathematics and he has taken courses dealing with it in different ways; taking one year of algebra, business arithmetic and bookkeeping, and finding them all interesting and enlightening. Don is going to try his luck at farming after graduation and we wish him the best of luck and suc- cess with it. We'll all miss you at all of the out-of-town games with your usual load and we'll miss you in the daily humdrum of school life, The "big ten" in the typing class got under way last week with some very good ecores.

(Take your bow, sir). Surprising, the way some of these people can find over 800 reasom, for not chewing gum! Some of these underclassmen would .be surprised if they knew that it would be harder than they imagined to date upperclass girls. The upperclass women would vote "Dec" the nicest boy in the school . . . on merits of being handsome and an all around ath- lete. Say, have any of you people ever tried ballet dancing hard on the muscles don't you agree, Doug? Hurry up boys, this is your last chance to join the cooking class it's always those good cooks thai land successful wives. Sometimes you have to go as far as Hollywood to find a ~beau- tiful woman . . but there was one at the dance Saturday, did every- one else notice Gloria? Well, now that the B.B. season is practically over, this column wants to thank the team for a lot of swell entertainment . . . we cer- tainly enjoyed your playing. DOPE! "Watch the birdie ple---ase"! Crash--Bang--Plop! ! ! ! That wasn't the birdie---that was the camera. Jean Smith just had her picture taken. In fact every- body in the whole school had their picture taken Wednesday last. It was reported that the Picture company suffered a considerable loss of equipment while at M.V.H.S. The pictures may be purchased at a 6 for a quarter. MOORE DOPE!
