move from room to room. In our
high schools about twenty stu
dents are together all day in the
same room all year long and
every period a new teacher comes,
gives his lesson, and moves to
another room.
Very different also is the fact
that your school year starts in
the fall, that you have two
semesters, and then vacation for
three months. We start school
in the spring and the vacation
days all together about 11
weeks are spread out all
over the year so that our sum
mer vacations are only six
weeks long. During the school
year we get only two report
cards for each subject all year
because we don't have so many
tests like you do.
In literature for instance we
write about eight long themes
during the year, and the rest of
the time we read and discuss
books or interpret poems. In
other classes such as biology and
chemistry the tests are oral and
you never know before the period

you individually or not. During
language classes we mostly inter-

Night Without End

A group of travelers crash in
their airplane at the North Pole.
They are met by a group of

as the travelrs are anything but
ordinary people.
Noon on the Third Day
James Hulbcrt
Noon on the Third Day is
an explosive novel of modern
politics. It powerfully portrays the
ever-continuing conflict between
principal and pressure in poli
tical life today. The setting is
in Washington, D.C. where groat
men gather to manipulate men
and events.

Two brothers work to develop
a process of converting algae into
nutritious food by natural photo

discovery to further the cause of
world peace and plenty; the other
brother wants to use it as a
weapon against Communist China.
Man Claims He
Saw Spaceman
Have you ever seen a flying
saucer moving through the even
ing sky? A person who testifies
to the fact that he has is Mr.
Daniel Fry of Merlin, Oregon.
Not only has he seen such a
craft but Mr. Fry also claims
that he has ridden in one and
spoken with its controller.
The following interview with
Mr. Fry was given to this reporter
on October 26. (The name Alan
was chosen by Mr. Fry as a
simpler title for the spaceman he
saw than his original name.)
Question: How many times have
you spoken with Alan?
Answer: Three times; the last
visit was one year ago last April.
Question: Have you ever actu
ally seen Alan?
Answer: Yes, on the third visit.
Question: Are there any of
Alan's people living among us at
this time?
Answer: I am not sure.
Question: Has Alan ever menti
oned anything about life on other
planets?
Answer: There is other life but
in no form as we here on earth
know it.
As a result of her achieve
ments and interest in the field
of science, Diane Williams, senior,
was awarded a National Science
Foundation grant to study micro
biology with 38 other girls at the
College of the Holy Names in
Oakland, California, this summer
for a period of six weeks.
Diane was one of four Oregon
girls receiving this grant. The
34 other girls oame from various
states in the Northwest from
Texas to Wisconsin. Groups of
six girls stayed in double suites
in the dorms which was, accord
ing to Diane, "gobs of fun."
The girls studied microbiolo
mycology, and virology in regular
classes Monday through Friday.
Their schedule ran as follows:
9:00 a.m. - 10:00 a.m. lecture.
10:00 a.m. - 12:00 a.m. lab.
period.
12:00 a.m. 1:00 a.m. lunch
2.00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m. recre
ation which consisted mainly of
swimming at a "huge, beautiful
pool."
3:00 p.m. - 5:40 p.m. free
period.
5:40 p.m. - 6:30 p.m. formal
dinner.
6:30 p.m. - 10:30 p.m. free
period in which the girls went to
the library, went to the game
room, or just talked and had fun.
In addition to regular classroom
assignments, the students were
also required to read at least one
hundred pages of outside science
reading.
"We went to San FraneUco
practically every week-end and
attended concerts, went to the
opera, had picnics, visited mu
seums, and did a lot of sight
seeing, said Diane. Also on the
week-ends the girls were enter
tained with some of the newer
movies such as "A Raisin In The
Sun" and "Midnight Lace."
Diane, who plans a career in
science, is particularly interested
in microbiology and radiology.
She is taking physiology as well
as physics this year. Her com
ment on the program was "I
enjoyed this program immensely.
I not only learned a lot about
microbiology but also met many
wonderful people, visited many
interesting places, and in general
had a lovely summer."

Blood and superstition were
two of the topics discussed Oct.
30 by the seniors who are in the
Ungraded English class. This
class, an experimental program,
is composed of 15 students from
the three grade levels who are
taking this class in place of the
standard English course. The pur
pose of the class in explained by
Mrs. Margaret Zwick who teaches
it. "We were interested in deter
mining whether students of simi
lar abilities and interests would
accomplish more than those in
classes with widely-separated in
terests." So far this year the class as
whole has read and discussed
"The Rime of the Ancient
Mariner" by Samual Coleridge,
The Scarlet Letter by Nathanial
Hawthorne, Homers Odessy, and
Virgil's Aeneid. In addition to the
in-class books, the students also
read another book outside of class
which in many cases deals with
the same general theme as the in
class book.
Guilt has been the predomi
nant theme of the books already
read in this class; the books which
