International competitive spir-
it was heightened academically
last week when a dozen Cen-
tralites competed in the United
Nations National Contest. Of
the 12 who took the test, only
three completed it. They were:
Bernard Backhaut, Bernard Ber-
man and Daniel Elazar. The
contest, sponsored by the Amer-
ican Association for the United
Nations, was given April 5. The
questions, based on contest kits
distributed to interested stu-
dents, concerned the work of the
United Nations past and present.
The State winners will be an-
nounced May 1, and National
winners June 10. Good luck fel-
lows.

For the past week everyone
at Mumford has been in deep
meditation over what to take in
the way of courses for the com-
ing school term. It has been
the "week of decision" for stu-
dents, especially 11B's, because
most of them are starting a new
series of studies.
Investigations a n d - probings
that would make Sen. Kefau-
ver's hearings seem like a minor
issue have been in progress, as
students are discovering what
high school requirements fit
their future p 1 a n s. Because
Mumford grows with its stu-
dents, new classes are being of-
fered for the first time next
semester.
