Try,
Try Again!
The
long, sleek Vanguard missile, a Navy Product, again
faltered in an attempt to put an American satellite
aloft. The missile trying to put the United States second
satellite into an orbit broke into pieces and plunged
into the Atlantic Ocean. The missile was destroyed by
the Cape Canaveral ground crew about a minute after
it left its launching pad, because of an apparent jamming
of equipment in the first stage of the mighty Navy rocket.
The American people should
not be too disappointed in the results of this attempt.
Many of today's accepted modes of transportation were
yesterday's experiments. All of our scientific and engineering
marvels have been the results of heartbreaking trial
and error.
The first satellite, the
Explorer, which we launched into outer space, was propelled
by a machine which took many hours of labor and brain
work to develop. One failure, or even more, are no disgrace.
Failure is merely one of the steps in the development
of an intricate device.
Miracles have little or
no place in the history of scientific progress. Progress
is made through the checking and rechecking of an infinite
number of details. Plans look simple on paper. But making
these plans into a reality is a different story.
If the uninformed layman
exerts too much pressure on the scientists who are at
work in our satellite program, their impatience's may
result in careless and costly errors along the line. |

Flying
Lions?
That's
a sight you seldom see! But if you attend the Glenridge
games you'll know that lions do really fly.
Each time our team makes
a basket the king of the beasts goes zooming. This may
show that Glenridge students have the will to win, but
the spectators who occasionally get hit in the head
don't exactly appreciate this show of spirit.
Adults, particularly,
take a dim view of flying lions. They come to watch
the game, oddly enough. And viability is greatly impaired
by flying felines.
It is all right to bring
lions to the games, but let's keep them on the ground. |

IN THE DESERT is a moving story about a ghost town's
dusty mines which hid the only clue to the fate of a
boy who was front page news.
You will laugh and cry
when Alice Russell takes you with Ted and Cathy Sturgis

taken prisoner, and discovered the boy and the secret
of his strange disappearance. |

SUMMER
IN THEIR EYES by Ethel Anderson goes to prove that money
doesn't grow on trees. High school students Barbara Dufrayne
and her brother, Scott, were shocked when they found out
that the dream trip to Colorado wouldn't be financed by
Dad. Sad, happy, and exciting moments went into the earning
of that $250.
You'll find yourself keeping
your fingers crossed for Barbara as you become more and
more anxious to follow a Colorado Road, paved with nobody's
gold but yours.
