EDITORIAL "To See Ourselves" Our earth' seems so large, so substantial, and so much with us, that we tend to forget the minor position it occupies in the solar family of planets.

How dignified we must look as we sit upon our pompous pedestals! And yet, fortunately there no large mirrors in space which enable us to see ourselves as others might see us. For what would that mirror reveal? Would those people see a great family working together aided by sincerity, and principle? Or would they see a world with greed, fear and iealousy" Obviously enough the latter is present-- but why? Although the problem is complex, the solution is quite simple. We, as a world have forgotten God! In our manmade world of dreams we have pushed God aside. When problems arise we try every conceivable solution and then as a last resort turn to God. How much time and trouble we could save of only we would acknowledge that a trust in God will solve all our problems.

We are little people with a great God; ours can be a world of peace and love. With a positive attitude-- "Seek ye first the Kingdom of God, anr all these things shall bt addea unto ye."

The staff hopes the page has proved both educational and entertaining to its readers. Most of the seniors are anxious to graduate from high school for have fanciful plans for the future. Those who intend to lur- tlicr their education tell me they "can't wait i next fall." I have noticed that most us are ready to go to college f.ir high school no longer offers a challenge, or obstacle to overcome Yes.

teachers can load us with assignments to complete and say possible to complete and isay this is an example ol the difficult time we will have in college. But these assignments aren't the challenge I mean. I am referring to your advanced science courses which provide, not only the necessity of hard work, but the need for deep and serious thinking, your liberal arts courses require research which is materially impossible in small high schools. Yes, college will teach us to think, to use our heads in making decisions by reasoning that "if this is so, then that also must be true." It will teach us to search out the why and wherefore of all things. Although, college education isn't a drop in the bucket of all there is to.learn, it stimulates one to go on learning and ex ploring for the rest of his life.

I dedicate a by Eleanor Graham Vance to all Parents of seniors. I gaze with hope and pride and Joy Upon my graduating boy, And know a sudden mute relief As deep as love, as sharp as grief: Sharing his victory today, I graduate from PTA!

As far. as can 'be figured, this is the second I a GCHS band has ever received, the one was received in 1950.

GCHS had to compete against eight other bands in their class division at Missouri Valley. They were Onawa, Denison, Missouri Valley, Lake City, Har- Jefferson, Audubon, and Glenwood. Of these, four--Jefferson Denison, Lake City, and Guthrie received I's. Our band which performed Saturday was the AAA band. It was made up of 52 of the 72 members of the regular AA concert band.

The band played two Forza Del ino" (The Force of Destiny) and march entitled "Burst of Flame." Some of the things on which a concert band are judged are tone, technic accuracy and facility), interpertation and musicianship, stage presentation, balance, intonation, and any other thing the judge notices. At large group contests there are three judges for each class instead of the one smau group contest. The- band had been working for several months on these num bers and special congratulations is due Mr. Brown for all his effort. It has been a long time since the QCHS band has received a I rating and they have no intention of now forgetting how it's done.

Two office managers were arguing about which has the dumbest Office boy. To prove his point, the first one called in his office boy, gave him a dollar, and sent him downtown to buy a car. Then the other one called his office boy in and sent him down to his club to see if he was there. These two boys met in an elevator and were arguing over which had the dumber boss. The first said, "My boss sent me downtown to buy a car and didn't even tell me the make he wanted." "That's nothing," the other replied.

"My boss sent me down to the club to see if he was there, and the fool was standing right by the telephone and could have called himself." L. L.

Here are a couple of them: "Now, Tommy," said Mrs. Smith, "I want you to be good while I'm out." "I'll be good for a nickte," replied Tommy. "Tommy," said she, "I want you to remember that you can not be a son of mine unless you are good for nothing."

ore you one? A lot of drivers give very little thought to the care of their cars. Most any gasoline will do, or indifferent service. Not so the thinking man! He knows his car is a big investment. He wants the best gasoline and motor oil and the best service he can get to prolong his car's life, improve its performance, maintain its value. We believe that most of the men and women who come to Phillips 66 Stations are the ing type people who appreciate expert service performed by trained men.
