when Charles Vines was standing an the bank or the Pascagon- la River. near Lucedale, Mississippi, he heard voices! shouting for help. He c-ould not see who was calling, for enemy action in tlie Korean War "had robbed him of his sight, but the calls were so i desperate, that he plunged in- 10 the water, ignoring his I handicap. He swam toward the voices and found that two girls and a man were in danger of drowning. Vines took one girl to safety and then a second.

By this time he was nearly exhausted, and afraid he might not have the strength to complete a third trip in the rapid current. But knowing that a man was still in need of help, he jumped back into the water. By calling on strength he did not know he had, he returned to safety with the third victim. The dramatic rescues were made possible because Vines used hidden power. He refused to let his blindness keep him on the bank.

Trusting his ears to guide him, he found he could make his way- through water as well as on land. Despite his fears, he summoned enough energy to complete the mission. Most of us are not called upon to take risks such as Vines faced, but. vye do have opportunities to use our hidden powers. Have you ever said, "I just can't do it," when faced with a difficult assignment at school? Next time, call upon your hidden power, and you will be surprised at how much you can accomplish.

Are you afraid to speak in public? Do you avoid appearing in plays or programs because of stage fright? You have the hidden power'to overcome this uneasiness. The hidden power is yours, to use in many ways, if you will onlv resolve to use it- Big Event, The Senior Class Pictures Editor's Comments Last week ended the first six-weeks period and the big event this week is report cards.

Although I don't understand much about the game, I guess we lost because no one was feeling very gay.

Belore the game there was a line of paper and boards going down the street. They called them floats but I don't agree because I didn't fine any water. I went out to find the water, but before I knew it I was with those floats. At the end of the evening they held a dance. It was 12 o'clock, the dance was over, the game was lost but still something was missing.

I knew something was wrong all evening, but what was it? Oh, I was supposed to have a date tonight.

A big event for the senior class each year is the taking of their graduation pictures. This year the schedule was set up with ucioaer 12, 13, and 14 as the days for taking the pictures. They were taken on an average ul five seniors for each 45 minute period.

This may sound like a longtime for a picture, but the girls usually prefer to wear two or three different outfits, each with a different background. The boys are not so particular, but they, also, want an appro priate background depending upon the color of their suit. This year the picture committee, consisting of Norma Whitney, Janice Grove, Rita Crabbs, Elmer Kopaska, Dick Lupardus, and Wilson Rigler chose the Cochran Studio in Des Moines. The stage of the gymnasium had been arranged as a studio, and the pictures were taken there- From The Queen And Her Royal Court We wish to thank the students of the Senior High for niaking possible the honor we "ccelved at our Homecoming Event.
