For his illustration of. these points he used General Ferdinand Foch, the great French marshal, who carried out all three points in World War I: . “Foch had unbreakable faith in ultimate victory. ‘No battle is lost unless the army believes it is lost,’ he once said.

John Saunders Is Winner Of Scholarship John Saunders, son of Profes- sor and Mrs. Alfred L. Saunders, 208 Olivia Street, is in receipt of a letter from the General Scholar- ship Board of Tallahassee, Flori- da, announcing that the State Board of Education has awarded him a $400 a year General Scho- larship for the Preparation of Teachers effective September 1. This award was made on the ba- sis of his standing in the competi- tive examination and with his compliance with other require- ments for holding the scholarship. This scholarship may be held for four years or until he receives his Bachelor’s degree. Seventeen seniors from Douglass School competed in this examina- tion. This is the second child in the Saunders’ family to receive the award, as their oldest son, Alfred L., Jr., who completed his high school course at Douglass last year is now a sophomore scholar- ship student at Florida A and M University, Tallahassee, Florida, the school where John will also study. Be it known to the general pub- lic that the scholarship is not grant- ed by Douglass School, but on the basis of one’s true intelligence as dtermined by a competitive exa- mination. struggle was launched.

High School does not end anything but only gives a greater beginning. The final conclusion came with a poem by Lang entitled “Be True to the Dreams of Thy Youth.” Chaplain Felder’s address will long be remembered.
