Rotary Goes Wild In Last Inning

In a "make-qp" game Monday
night between the Rotary Club
and Maintenance, the Rotarians
went wild, in, the last inning to
chalk up 16 runs and overcome a
three-run, lead held by their op-
ponents.
The Maintenance crew were do-

was tossing over hisi slow ball, tile
Rotarians could; only hit pop flies,
but when Pat left the mound tie

Home runs, each with a runner or
two or three in front of. them,
were made by Nobie .Stone, Floyd
Hunt and Prof. W. A. Biggart. In
fact, the m rrygo-round turned,
so fast that Otto Anderson, who
was coaching at third, was com-

from .the mound to let GleSn Boyles

Ow Country Right or Wrong

SEEING IS BELIEVING
General Patton has chosen, the most effec-
tive means of showing German civilians the
evidence of their nation's atrocities. In com-
pelling civilians, to visit Nazi prison camps
arid see for themselves the results of Hitler-
ism, he has adopted a technique which even
the German mind, long closed against the
truth, can understand. Seeing is believing.
Patton's method of acquainting German
civilians with 'the truth about themselves
could be followed profitably by the com-
manders of all Allied' forces in the Reich. Ly-
ing ahead is the tremendous task of re-edu-
cating a whole people, and the sooner and
more directly we go about it, the sooner the
job will be completed.
If they are left again to believe that their
military forces were not' decisively beaten,
that they fought in a just cause and that they
are the oppressed rather than the oppressors,
then the seeds of World War III will remain
firmly rooted in German soil.

Speaking before a group of tax-
payers at a luncheon given, in his
honor at Tallahassee last week,

The 9th and 11th grades met in
a softball tilt last Friday evening
with the 11th graders winning the
close game by a 5 to 3 score. Botn
teams put up a good fight.
The high school has lost two
games in a row in the City SoLt-
ball League. Oh, well, those old
men wouldn't play if they didn't
get to win occasionally. If they had
taken that biology test Tuesday
that some of the school boys had
they would fold up too.
The juniors are getting out or
all their classes to prepare for the
banquet tonight. It's certain to go
over with a .bang. Since we're a
junior, there isn't much time to
write the's column.
Miss Katherine Nix is back at-
ter a vacation. All of the sopnu-

Ever.'ine ii 'iscliol, as well as
the armchair generals', is pre-
dicting as to when the war will
end and, what the end will mean
-that is, the war with Germany.
Personally, we think it will pr6o-
ably be one of the greatest events
in history, and Europe will be
plenty scrambled, after the divid-
ing is done, and! more so before it
is started. We wonder what the
United States is going to get ou't
of this war?
