Lykins from the Church of the Nazarene in Decatur. His topic concerned the different outlook on life, and in the course of his message he enumerated these for us.

mouth go out to a freshman, Kay Bultemeyer. who along with several other students, was involved in an accident after the senio l ' dance. Although she suffered several facial injuries, her condition is not serious and it 18 hoped she will return soon. — M. H. 8. — ‘Eye-catching posters advertising this year’s “Eagle” can be seen everywhere in the halls. Friday will be the last day for ordering an annual, and we know that everyone will want one. To help finance this yearbook, several members of the annual staff have been quite busy seeking advertising. — M. H. 8. — The freshman class is planning a party to be held on October 27 at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Russel Fleming. The enter.ainment will include dancing, games, and a wiener bake. Have fun, kids! — M. H. 8. — - The big attraction by the main bulletin board Monday was a set of pictures of the senior play taken by Mrs. Klelnhenz, an amateur photographer who is also one of our teachers. The pictures were taken the night of dress rehearsal. Along With these pictures of the

play were several photographs of the physical education class in action. — M. H. S. — It seems that George Rleeke is developing quite a reputa.ion as a mechanic. Several of the girls in senior typing class were preparing P. T. A. booklets and were at a complete loss when the multigraph just plain refused to work. Did they call a repairman? No! They just consulted good old dependable George! — M. H. 8. — The Star-Spangled Banner flies high over Monmouth each day. To our delight, a brand new flag pole was erected on the west side of the school this week by the boys of the F. F. A. The flag is put up each day by the boys and girls of the fifth and sixth grades. — M. H. 8. — Last week brought the end of the first grading period, and yesterday the report cards were greeted by sighs of contentm«nt or promises to do better. The senior typing class typed the general information on each card, and the office girls filled in the details. — M. H. 8. — It seems that Mrs. Andrews is looking for speech students for 1958! Last week the sophomore class gave their first oral reports;

and although everyone was a little frightened, they hope to conquer their fears by the end of t|ie year. — M. H. 8. — Tonight the coaches and principals of Adams county will hold their second meeting of the season. The feature of the evening will be a dinner served to them by the senior home economics class in the home economics room. From all the planning that has been going on, we gather that it will be quite a feast. Watch those waist lines! — M. H. 8. — A paper drive which ended last Saturday was sponsored by the sophomore class. Students gathered old newspapers a:jl rivagazines from the surrounding area, and then two members of the class gave paper tying parties to which the entire class was invited. — M. H. 8. — Breakfast at 3 p. m.? Os course! Anyway, that is what the freshmen home economics class had yesterday. The tantalizing aroma of broiled hame made concentration in class almost impossible. The sophomore and senior classes are also filling the halls with tempting aromas. Pies by the dozens are being baked, and every night the various buses are turned

into bakery shops on wheels for several hungry boys. Rescue Rings LONDON (INS) '•— Britain Is being ringed today with a chain of search and rescue helicopter units to save air crews who crash' land In the sea or bale out over water. Established by the Air Ministry and manned by Royal Air Force crews the helicopter units are designed essentially to aid RAF fliers but they will also swing into full operation for holiday makers getting into difficulties or mariners in distress. Animals Radiate LONDON (INS) — Man ranks between the monkey and the mouse so far as sensitivity to atomic radiation is concerned. This disclosure was made by Major J. H. Wilkins, of the Royal Army Veterinary Corps laboratory at Thornhill, Aldershot, at a recent of the effects of an atomic explosion on earth creatures. When it comes to radioactivity, Wilkins said, rabbits are twice as tough as men, and mammals are more radiosensitive than either cold-blooded fish or hotblooded birds.

S. — Four girls have been chosen for the girls quartet. They are Betty Myers and Marilyn Seiple, freshmen, and Mary Myers and Wanda Luginbill, both juniors.

S. — Freshman Steve Irwin placed Bth in the cross-country race at the Decatur Golf Course last week. Everyone is proud of Steve and feels sure he will prove very valuable to the Spartans in many w-ays. — P. M. H. S. — Mr. Custard has set up the schedule for play practice. Every time you look at a senior they seem to have a “little blue book" in their hands studying the play, “The Terror of Black Oaks.” — P. M. H.

looking after Sue Fortney, Ada Foor and Ellen McAhren being “bosom friends", and Norma Jean Bailey being very rude to everyone, are examples of the senior girls trying to “live” their parts for the class play.

H. 3. — Commencement seemed very far kway and distant until Mr. Custard brought before the senior class some dates for them to vote on.
