Intelligence underlies existence. Spiritual law enablesyou to utilize intelligence. Forensics League kg M taps new members contest with proper points Mohn, publications advisor. Members of the Scholastic Press Association explain in their pamphlet on “Yearbook Fundamentals” that the year books are rated according to the- classifications checked on the entry form when the book is originally submitted. Classifica tions are determined by a com bination of three elements; 1)— method of reproduction, 2)— type of book and 3)—type of school or college. A self-analysis form is found on the reverse side of the entry form which allows the Board of Judges to ob tain enough background for an understanding of the school that produced the book and any circumstances which may have influenced its issuance. Rating categorize the books by points which also divides them into first, second, third and fourth places. “Grant’s yearbook was only eleven points away from a first place award,” commented Mr. Mohn proudly. “Medalist” awards are only presented to exceptionally out standing yearbooks whose out standing qualities give the book a personality of its own. Less than 10 per cent of the yearbook entries receive a “Medalist” award.

Multnomah Block from Sandy at 35 th No bees in these flowers MEMBERS OF Mr. David Warren’s seventh period U. S. His tory class compare notes strategically for their eventual take over of Europe as they play Diplomacy, a game of interna tional intrigue. History class captures supply huts to dominate Europe in 'Diplomucy' by Martha Ojard Russia, Turkey, Germany, Austria-Hungary, France, Italy, England ... all seven are com peting for European domination . . . in David Warren’s history classes, that is, with the setting as simulated Europe before World War II. For a little more than two weeks, Mr. Warren’s U.S. History classes have been playing “Diplomacy,” a game of international in trigue. Each class is divided into “teams,” or rather, the countries they wished to work with. Vol unteers became “prime minis ters” for the country of their choice, and in some classes, “am bassadors” worked with the prime ministers. European domination is achieved when one country has control of eighteen “supply huts.” These supply huts are gained by the ar mies and fleets of the vari ous countries. These armies and fleets move one “space” at a time, toward a desired goal. The most desired traits of the participants are craftiness and slyness, yet looking innocent at the same time. Knowledge and use of Machiavelli’s theories comes in very handy. One of the most effective moves is to get a treaty or alliance with another country, and then double-cross the supposed “ally.” “It’s a good game, be-, cause it helps the student gain insight into real inter national affairs. It provides a chance to play the foreign policy game, and enables‘ the student to see how it is possible for two mortal ene mies to become co-opera tive, for a while,” Mr. War ren explained.. Mr. Warren continued to say that he got the idea from a Mass achusetts teacher at Newton Junior High School. “““¡“Ltu flowers made of liquid cellophane.
