10% of all students completing

Ron’s project, which cost him
“400 hours and $70,” is called a
“Wave .Analyzer for Compound
Distribution Curves?*' The purpose''
of this machine, (in oversimplified
terms) is to differentiate between
the graphs of similar compounds.
Although the machine is basically
a physics project and operates on
the principals of physics, it is used
chiefly in the field of organic
chemistry. However, for more de
tails, the NileHIlite suggests you
consult Ron on the subject.
T h r e e physicists have also
tackled this same project, and
although their techniques are
more complicated, they have ar
rived at the same results as
Ron.
Future plans for this personable
senior include Cal Tech, with a
major in physics, M.I.T., or Yale.
“But I would really like to at
tend the Air Force Academy,”
Ron revealed, “because I would
like to be part of the Air Force
rocket program.”
Ron’s plans pave the road to
his goal in life. “Someday,” Ron
laughed, while dreaming aloud,
“I’d like to be a ‘big wheel’ in
the field of rocketry—a director
or a research program!” Cape
Canaveral—please take note.
Of course,. Ron’s secret ambi

WORDS ARE SYMBOLS. Because, in many cases, they are so
abstract, it is important that the speaker is careful to indicate just
what he means to say. Many an argument has ensued because two
people have misunderstood each other’s meaning, and have been
arguing about two entirely different ideas. Many times the speaker
does not know what he wishes to say; in other cases, he knows what
he means, but he cannot put his abstract thoughts into the exact
words that will convey his meaning to others.
Communism, liberty, freedom, and love are examples of ab
stract words which are hard to define exactly. Suppose someone
calls you a “communist”. You could do one of three things, you
could agree with him and admit that you are are a “communist” ;
you could emphatically deny any connections with communism;
or you could ask him exactly what he meant by the word “com
munist” . His definition of the word “ communist” is the important
factor. Depending upon what he supposed a “communist” to be,
you may or may not be a “communist” — to him only.
All of the trouble on different definitions does not come from
abstract words, Other words which are concrete in their meanings
may be the cause of an argument because these words have so many
different meanings. If you were asked what the word “run” meant,
you would encounter this problem because the word run has approxi
mately 20 different meanings: to ruja in an election, to run down the
street, to run a stocking, to run a car’s engine, to run an errand, and
to run into difficulty are just a few of these many meanings.
Another problem involving speech is the use of emotional words.
To explain what is meant by an emotional word, the conjugation
of one emotional word follows: I am stubborn; you are obstinate;
he is a pig-headed fool. What is the difference in the three sen
tences? Stubborn, obstinate, and pig-headed are all similar in
general meaning. It is only that there is more emotion connected
with the words pig-headed and obstinate than there is with the
word stubborn, just as there is more emotion in the word “Com
munist” than there is with the words “Member of the Union of
Soviet Socialistic Republic.”
Therefore, it is important that we say exactly what we mean when
we are conversing with others. If we do not say what we mean, how
can we expect others to understand what we are trying to convey to
them? No one is a mindreader, and the only way that a person can
understand unspoken or poorly-expressed thoughts is to read minds.
A little motto is always helpful in remembering what has been
said. In this case the motto should be “Say what you mean; mean
what you say.”
Nilehi Talks... *
Dear Editor;
THIS IS AN OPEN LETTER to all teachers. I realize that home
work is necessary and essential, bpt why do you sometimes tear it up
without looking at it, or why do you sometimes grin and say, “I don’t
know why I assigned that homework last night; it really was unim
portant.” Please, please, think twice before assigning homework, it
takes time to do it, no matter how unimportant it is.
One who is tired of slaving at the salt mines of Nilehi
DEAR EDITOR:
ji IT IS OUR OPINION that Nilehi students should not be allowed
to attend certain school sponsored activities if they can not act their
age. By talking loudly, laughing at the top of their lungs, and, in
general, acting like a group of i2-year-old children, their actions reflect
terribly upon our school.
We are sure that all the students want outsiders to think well of
our school, but if some students continue to act in an uninhibited
fashion, what else can people think except that the students at Niles
are rowdy hoods.
Disgusted Seniors
DEAR EDITOR:
COMPLIMENTS ARE IN ORDER to this year’s Union Board.
They are doing a fine job in making this year’s Student Unions better.
However, I’d like to suggest that the Board plan more room
for dancing. The Lounge is quite crowded, and this makes dancing
very difficult. Also, it would be nice if something could be done
to have the sound louder in the movie! This would help!
I must admit, these few little criticisms are far outnumbered by
compliments and “thanks” !
A Junior
DEAR EDITOR:
AS A NILEHI SENIOR, I’m proud of the band that represents
our school. Their performance at the assembly Tuesday, January 27
was great — especially the number featuring the trumpet trio.
When will we hear more?

DEAR EDITOR:
MANY THANKS should be given by the student body for the
Student Parking lot. This is a great convenience especially when the
winter snow falls. Thanks again, faculty.

Let us observe these well-laid

He’s the ideal athlete who plays
