Traveling Thru Georgia l,eaving Chattanooga, a progres- sive southern city of 123,500, the highway goes under Missionary ridge via a tunnel. Missionary ridge is fanious for the site of the Civil war `battle of that name. The drive from Chattanooga to Atlanta was made after dark. It is thru the mountains in places and on a curving, winding road. The entry to Atlanta is still the old route with narrow streets and street car tracks to contend with. ]~ach time you make this trip you think a better route into Atlanta may have been discovered and marked in the mean time. In no state did we find the high- ways as well znarked as in Iowa, Illinois, and Indiana. In most of the southern states there is no warning of a curve as there is here. You pull up to a stop sign or a corner at full speed and are expect- ed to stop in two feet and make the curve. For a route that has as heavy a tourist business as U.S. 41, there are a number of things which could bc done to improve it. IIEACII ATLANTA The second night was spent at Atlanta, a busy city of 280,000 population, The temperature up to this point had not been a great deal different from what it had been in Iowa with the fairly mild weather before we left. Overcoats felt good in Atlanta. The weather had been excellent. On the first day a strong wind made driving a little difficult but not enough to mention. From what I have heard the mercury started dropping here on the day we left and really crawl- ed down below zero. Overcoats were shed in the middle of the morning of the day we headed south from Atlanta. The sun was shinning brightly or they might have ,been worn longer. On leaving Atlanta we passed thru Jonesboro, near the location of the airplane crash last week. I can't recall whether we passed the Atlanta airport as numerous air- ports were seen. Sometimes they are so far outside of a city it is hard to tell whether they belong to the city you have passed thru or the next one, At Griffen, noted for its turkish towels, corduroys, and velvets, we left U.S. 41 and took U.S. 19, on which the best time of the trip was made. Nearly every city of any size has one or more cotton mills and frequently one or more lum- ber mills. The land is quite rolling with acres of scrub pine and other southern pine. The soil is always red sometimes almost a ~right red. Other places it tends towards a yellow. I thought frequently of the expression from "Gone With the Wlnd," The red earth of Tara! Red is the word for it. Took a pic- ture of it with kodachrome film to see if it would show the red as it really is. NEGRO SHACKS While driving thru Georgia a stop was made to take a picture of a negro shack, where the sun was r~bout right. There was no one in i sight. Before I was looking in the camera finder the door opened slightly, a pickinanny came out, and then another. About that time' I took the picture but they con- inued to come out and fhe mammy could be seen thru the door ajar. : These negro shacks are rather i of a shock the first time you see them but seem to become a part of the southern landscape. Many i an Iowa hog or chicken has a `bet-i ter building to live in than the i negro shacks. Many don't have windows, but board doors that are opened in the day time. Doors stood wide open in some places and you could see that there were no car- pets on the floors. In one town we got a glimpse of a negro mammy balancing her load on her head walking along at a good gait. A large mill of the Goodrich Rubber Co was passed at Silver- ton, just outside of Thomaston. "]'here were many fine looking houses there and everything was neat and attractive. Warm Springs is a little west of here. This is in the peach raising country. Thru Americanus and to Albany this route went, where we stopped for lunch in the city which suffered severe tornado damage just about a year ago. Evidence of the dam- age was still apparent although many of the buildings had been re- built. Some had not been and the court house still carried scars from the cyclone. Numerous pecan groves and many stands selling pe- cans are passe,]. Thru Thomasville we passed on into Florida. At Monticello and Live Oak many were wearing sweaters and in the warmth of the sun that afternoon it .began to feel like you were really approaching the Florida climate. NO ORANGE JUICE Going up to a stand with bags of oranges for sale and seeking to get a drink of orange juice, to our surprise they had it only in cans or bottled with carbonated water. In the land of the oranges they dtdn't have orange juice for sale. ]~]ast to I~ke City, crossing the .~uwanee river, the route went. Live oak trees with spanish mo6s always give this river a very tropical ap- pearance. The third night was spent at Gainesville. Here we went out without overcoats in the eve- ~m ning although a top coat would have felt alright. Gainesville is a very nice looking city, the site of the University of Florida, which has a very attrac- tive campus with a number of buildings which are apparently quite new. James W. McCutcheon ======================== Editor Martha Jane Rogers AsJsistant Editor Don Minnick Senior Reviews Marianne Vodicka ; Business Manager Betty June Hedges EDITORIAL Saint Patrick's day, as you all well know, is the day "for the wear- ing of the green." All over the world, wherever the Irish have: penetrated, March 17 is celebrated as Saint Patrick's feast day. Such national emblems of the green shamrock are, on that day given special reverence, not only ~oy the Irish, but ,by all who know the kind deeds of this patron saint of Ireland. Saint Patrick was born in Scot- land or England, it is not known for certain which, and led a very exciting life. At the age of six- teen he was captured by pirates from Ireland and carried to the island, where for six years he tend- ed the flocks of an Ulster chief- tain. During these years of his slavery, he became a devoted Chris- tian, and after his escape to France entered monastic life. Directed by a vision to return as a mission- cry to Ireland, he obeyed the call and for the rest of his life worked zealously in various parts of the is- land. His labors were so successful that he came to be known as one who "found Ireland all heathen and left it all Christian." Naturally, many legends grew up about the name of the popular saint. A favorite is the one which represefits him as charming the snakes of Ireland by his music so that they followed him to the sea- shores, where they were driven into the water and drowned. Indeed much that is told about Saint Pat- rick is little more than legendary, for though he left an autobiogra- phy, this places emphasis on his work rather than his life. In these days of strife, it seems a grand thing to set aside a day when the deeds of a well-~oeloved personage like Saint Patrick can 'be given special remembrance. Cer- tainly this man who devoted his life to doing good has a message for our world today! SENIOR PdEVll~V Don Hnnter Don has attended Mount Vernon high school all of his school years and has become known to every one by his nickname "Soupy". He is a member of the M Clu`b, and went out for basketball during b.i.~ fresh- man year and football during his junior year. Because of his small- ness Don has not been able to help so much on the team by playing but has always been with the boys to help them win. When Don was a freshman he was a mere`her of the chorus in the Operetta, "Pirates Of Pensance," but since then has not had much time to take part in musical groups. His feelings to- ward bookkeeping and mathematics are very high, and they seem to be the favorite of those he has taken. In his spare time Don is kept busy working at Hedge's restaurant, and so really has no time to spend in many activities. Although Don did not mention any special hobby, we all feel that dancing is his fa- vorite recreation and pastime. AfL ter graduation Don plans to attend Chilicothe Business College and after that would like to secure some business po~ition. He feels a little glad to be out of high school and yet has slight regrets, but anyway we'll all miss him and we are sure that with his personality and good humor he'll be a success in the buMness world. Jean Hearty Jean came to Mount Vernon high school during her junior year from Clinton, where she spent the rest of her high school days. She served as the business manager of the Chalk Mark, the first semester of her senior year, and she proved very successful at this position that takes both time and efficiency. She is also a member of the Writers Club, that meets to write poetry, skits, etc. Jean is very interested in Speech and Dramatics and has helped in the production of many of our plays, since she has been here. She has taken part in several one act plays, the most recent be- ing, "Tarnished Witherspoons," in which she played the distinguished wife and mother. Jean spends most of her spare time dancing, reading, and taking part in dramatic work. Her favorite snbjects are speech and mathematics, and particularly algebra. After graduation Jean plans to go on to school ;but after that her plans are indefinite. Al- though she has been at Mr. Vernon High only a short time she has been one of the meet prominent members of the senior class and her success in later life is the wish of all of us. ~VARD ~HOOL NE%VS 'the kindergarten is still on their transportation unit. Since their trip to Cedar Rapids, they have been more enthusiastic to study aq0out it. The second grade went to see Mrs. Barnes' African Lily. They told the first grade about it tn their Language class. In social Studies we are reading about community helpers and have started scrap books on that subject. The third grade have started a new unit on Holland. They have a new practice teacher, Miss Beau- champ, who is helping them study about China. In completing their study of animals the fourth grade, under the direction of Miss Pitkanen have made a movie. The fifth grade, while studying with Miss Hedge have made a time capsule to be opened in 1946. One of the things in the time capsule is a victrola record containing talks as well as songs. Since the sixth grado pupils were anxious to correspond with pupils in the southern states, they have been writing letters in their Eng- lish period. Reporters--Ann Young and Mary Wolfe.

Light complexion Naomi ASSEMBLIES Tuesday morning, ~March 4, the Bell Telephone Company presented a movie about the Coaxial Cable system and another entitled, "A New Voice for Mr. X." The first movie showed how a coaxial cable, partly through the air and partly ,buried 30 inches in the ground !would have less interference than a regular cable. Repeater Stations which have amplifying equipment in them are located every hundred miles. The other movie showed how Mr. X improved the telephone voices of his office staff, and in- creased his 'business. Examples of correct and incorrect conduct over the phone were illustrated. Thursday morning Dr. Jennings of the Iowa State Department of Health spoke to the students on Grade A milk and why it should be used more liberally. He remarked that Mount Vernon had a clean and wholesome supply of milk. A movie was shown entitled "Modern Mag- ic." It showed the different steps of pasteurizing, bottling, and de- livery and also the vitamins in milk. To end, Dr. Jennings answered questions asked by several students about his subject. IF Wouldn't it be swell-- If we had escalators, especially when we're dragging from the ef- fect of the night before ? If we had some one waiting at the doors to push us in wheel chairs to our desks? If we had assemblies every day? If we didn't have to have teach- ers ? If we could have a refreshment fountain ? If we had an "Escort Bureau", (just in case you don't happen to have anything to do) ? If we didn't have to be "in at" a certain hour? If you could "get in" without anybody knowing it? If nobody ever teased you? If we were all smarties and did- n't have to go to school? If there weren't such things as embarassing situations? Moral: The Goal is luxury. GOSSIP 1. Louise Rogers is giving Mil- dred some competition in the line of a sophomore country boy. 2.

The ninth grade home economics class served another luncheon to themselves last ,Monday. The seventh general science class has been experimenting with secret writing. They have been studying about invisi%le ink and other solu- tions that can be used for invisible writing. The eighth grade English class is studying Evangeline, while the seventh grade English is studying about biographies. They have read biographies of Thomas Edison and of Teddy Roosevelt. At last, after a long time of wait- ing, the senior class has received their announcements and their cards. The sociology class is planning a trip to Des MoSses to visit the legis- lature, next Monday. The music groups will probably go along also to visit the music clinic and to hear the all state chorus. Mrs. Lois Henderson spoke to the seventh social science class on her trip to France. She has made a personal tour to France and told about it very vividly. Last week Mr. Daniels and Miss West accompanied the ninth grade science class on a field tour to the quarry to study the rock forma- tions and glaciation. The eighth grade class also made this tour last week. The eighth grade general science class handed in very interesting scrap books on a unit on the "Forc- es that Helped Form the Earth." Mr. Fuller reports that the op- eretta is progressing very nicely. The sociology class had another panel discussion on the advantages and disadvantages of the movies, cars and the radios. OPERETPA I At last work bas begun on the an- nual high school operetta. This l year the music group is doing "Tune In" by Don Wilson and Ed- ward Bradley. M~arian Fisher, Cy Winsor, Mark Hutchinson, and Don Current have the leading roles. ! J The operetta is an unusually fine one this year. It has been perform- ed several times in this district and met with success each time. The date for production has not yet been set but it will ,be performed some time in the next three weeks. BOWLING One of the most popular indoor recreational sports is bowling! Many of our students and some of the teachers have been seen bowl- ing up at the new alley they have just installed. As an advantage to the physical training girls the ,price has been reduced slightly. You don't have to be good to bowl. Many of the beginners are shocked at their own skill at it. Since winter recreation is so scarce, we should all take advantage of something like this when it comes along. CAN YOU IMAGINE THE SOPHOMORE,%--- Jean Smith--a little chubby country girl?

LOSES TO TIPTON IN SECTIONAL 3IEET Mount Vernon lost to Tipton, 40 to 25, in the finals of the Sectional Tournament played at Mechanics- rills last Saturday night. It was the last game of the season for the Maroons. The game was close all through the first half, both teams playing very good ball. The score at the end of the half was Tipton 13, Mount Vernon 17. The two teams played on about even tcrms during the third quarter, and by the end of that period the Maroons were able to push ahead, 25-24. It was- n't until the final period that Mount Vernon's offense and defense collapsed, when Don Current left the game on fouls, and Tipton went ahead to win by a margin of fifteen mints. Bahmler led Tipton's offense with !ourteen points to his credit. For Mount Vernon, the scoring was fairly evenly divided, Hutchinson, Hedge, and Current each having six points.

CREDIT company has incorporated and will tual residence on continue to operate under the W. From the As the forty-ninth Iowa General Assembly this week struck out into the home stretch of its record- breaking race toward early final adjournment, not one measure of highly controversial nature had been formally considered and the prospect was that all such "hot ,potato" bills tbus far introduced i would smother in sifting commit- tee. Both branches of the legislature for the past week have 'been con- cerned primarily with the passage of major appropriation bills, hand- ling sums reaching into the mil- lions of dollars with facility, rapid- ity and minimum of conflict. Claims bills were being loaded onto the calendar in increasing number to demand No. 2 position in the con- sideration of measures of "must" nature before the final curtain is drawn on this session of the as- sembly. POLICING A sifting committee was on the job [in the Senate early this week to take over all measures remaining in the hands of standing committees and will reach out soon to strip the calendar of all but appropriation, claims and other favored bills. In the House, a steering commit- tee was filling .'~ temporary role in arranging a working calendar pend- ing the taking over of the legisla- tive management by a sifting com- mittee expected to be appointed at an early date. Increasing hope that the legisla- ture may close up shop for the biennial period by April 12 was manifest everywhere about the capitol. All efforts were being co- ordinated to that end. Virtually all major appropriation measures had been disposed of, the Pioneer Law- makers association had come and gone and farmer members of the legislature were thinking of the spring crop planting. HIGHER BRACK~P MONEY Approximately $33,000,000 had been appropriated in the higher 'brackets of biennial spending. This huge sum falls into the following classifications: For state depart- ments $10,800,000: state education- al institutions, $13,600,000; state board of control institutions, $8,- 000,000; national guard and state; guard $500,000 all sums being for a two-year period beginning July 1, 1941. In addition, a large number of budgeting proposals had been tak- en care of, including the state high- way commission allotments and so- cial security and relief expendi- tures. Except in the case of relief totals are comparable with expendi- tures in other recent biennial per- iods. Very few increases were made in state salaries, and there were some cuts to offset these.

LATE BULLETIN '~-- The man who now is being boom- ed for Hickcnlooper's job as the No. 2 man in state government is Rep. John R. Irwin of Keokuk, former Speaker of the House.

There remains ample time ,before April 12 to enact a large quantity of new laws or to improve old laws. In normal Iowa legislative ses- sions, members were wont to wrestle with the problems of ma- jor appropriations until the elev- enth hour late in April. Reversing the procedure this time and dis- pensing with the money bills early without dispute over details, the legislature has placed itself in a position to end its labors with a creditable amount of enacted legis- lation. LEGISLATURE HAS REFOR~[ED ITSELF Moreover, the legislature has taken long, forward steps in time- saving for the assemblics that are to follow, at least to the extent of establishing precedent. T h e s e achievements are reflected in re- volutionary changes in the rules that govern the assembly and in the fixed resolve to place the func- tions of state government on a ,business basis through budgeting and strict accounting of state funds and property. Credit for what ever benefits are to be derived from these accomplishments will be shar- ed by democrats and republicans for the objectives were common to both.
