Our varsity c h e e r 1 ea tiers, Joyce Loshe, Sue Holthouse, Judy Koors, and Leonida Mies create a colorful effect, as they lead the cheers on the basketball floor. Their outfits consist of green cor-

duroy skirts, white V-neck sweaters set off by a gold “D” on the back of each sweater, and gold bows with long streamers attached 7 to their blouses. Little gold beanies are worn on their headd, with two small porp-poms attached to each beanie.

Tuesday, the students assembled in the school gymnasium for the first pep session since' the opening of basketball season. The cheerleaders settled the seating arrangement, so that every high school student was able to sit in the cheering section. The first pep session was previously planned for last week’s game but was unable to be held, because school was I closed for a free day. — D. C. H. S. — "Oh’s!” and "Ah’s” came from the crowd during half time at the 1 last basketball game as four De--1 catur Catholic girls were displaying their talents in baton twirling. The four twirlers are: Anna Sue ’ Miller, Rita’ Mbndez, Rose Marie I Mjeyer and Carolyn Heiman. Anna Sue Miller also is majorette of the

D. G. H. S. baud. These fyur girls will continue to entertain at .basketball games throughout the season. — D. C. H. S. — The seniors have been ringing doorbells again! But this time it’s to deliver the many Christmas boxes to the people from whom orders had previously been taken. The boxes arrived at the school the early part of this week. The selling of Christmas cards has been very successful, with a total of 725 boxes. The religious selections brought in more than any other type of cards, adding up to 100 boxes. — D. C. H. S. — How high is your 1.Q.? The entire high school student body was able to find the answer to this question through an I. Q. test, given to the students the latter part of last week. This test gave

tile students an idea of what f|ibject they are most capable of. — D. C. H. S. — I Dave Terveer, baseball and basketball coach, along with all the other county coaches, matched their teamwork with that of an all girls team, the ‘‘Redheads,’’ in the Geneva gymnasium last Thursday night. The "Redheads” have acclaimed world-wide recognition, and although they added another win to their long list, their opponents proved to be keen 'competition. — D. C. H. 8. — A bus has been scheduled to take students to the away games. Kenny Mills, who drove the bus last year, will again drive it this season. Anyone wishing a ride to the away game, was given the chance to buy a ticket. There are going to be nine away games.

The sopliomore biology class lias I been busy gathering different! types of leaves in order to properly decorate the pages of their leaf book, their present biology assignment. Phil 'Reed acquired the largest number of leaves. With old man winter bringing on rain and snow during the past week, it was quite a job for the students to find leaves that were in excellent shape. — D. C. H. 8. — The girls in home ec II have stopped sewing for a while and turned their thoughts to needlework. They are learning to crochet and are finding it very interesting. / — D. C. H. 8. — If you don’t succeed the first time, try, try, again! The freshman home ec class will do just that, now that they have tasted failure for the first time. When

several of the girls were told to bake a chocolate cake, they seem,ed to forget that baking soda is an important ingredient in turning out a successful cake, although the incident proved very amusing, it taught a lesson to all concerned. —D.C.H. S. — 1 DECATUR HIGH By Dee Dee Striker

also have a part In the program. A good turnout is hoped for and the choir is promising a nice program. — D. H. S. — The first pep session of the basketball season was held last Friday afternoon and the cheerleaders attempted to organize the "cheering block.” They have arranged a system in which each one wishing to lie in this block will have an assigned seat which they will keep throughout the entire season. It is being planned to buy hats -for the members of this block, which they will wear along with their white blouses and shirts. It is hoped that this cheering block will be a success and that everyone will cooperate with the plans made. — D. H. S. — "Let's beat those Eagles!!! A big pep rally is being planned for

next Monday night. Coach Worthman and the members of the team will be present, along with the ‘‘block” and the cheerleaders. This will no doubt arouse a lot of enthusiasm among the student body and team for the first game of the season, the following night. Everyone is urged to attend this rally, which will last about an hour. If will begin at 7 o'clock and will not last too late. — I). H. S. — A very nice dance was held last Friday night at the Youth Center. This dance was sponsored by the Center, and Bob Chase, WOWO, was guest M.C. for the affair. It was attended by a large crowd and everyone seemed to have a swell time. Thanks, Mac! — D. H. S. — Last Friday, the junior class left bright and early for their annual trip to Detroit and Canada. In Detroit they toured the Ford MUseum, which was very interesting. Next, they crossed the bridge into Canada and ate lunch in Windsor. Coming baclc byway of the “Holland Tunnel,” they visited the Ford shaping plant, the new' Ford Rotunda, and the trip home they ate supper at Howard Johnsons in Toledo, Ohio. Tired and glad to get home, they all had a wonderful time and a wonderful experience, — D. H. S. — A paper on a novel, a biography, dr an autobiography must be turned into Miss Weidler by December 9. This assignment is for the junior English class, so better get to work, juniors! - D. H x Sr - The art class has made mobiles to be hung from the lights for open house. They are made from coat hangers and are made into the shapes of things living in the ocean. Nice going, kids! — D. H. S. — Stop—elose your test and do not look at any other tests! Monday and Tuesday the members of the senior class took tests which were given at the Lincoln school. It was a different experience, getting away from the usual routine of school. Wednesday, they were back at school; noisy as ever and hard (?) at work. — D. H. S. — The reading notes for the term paper for English must be turned in tomorrow. The seniors are hard at work, hoping to have them completed by the deadline. — D. H. S. — MONMOUTH HIGH By Shirley Bleeke

tory for the Eagles this season, and all.of M. H. S. hopes that they keep up the good work.„ — M. H. S. — The second team also put forth great efforts last Friday evening, but when the final whistle blew they were on the short end of a 36-33 score. Congratulations just the same, boys, for giving such an exciting performance. — M. H. S. — Tomorrow evening both the varsity and second teams^ will journey to Adams Central to play the Greyhounds. A great many students will also attend, because fan buses will again be employed. Everyone is hoping that the “'Eagles’’ will stretch their string of victories to three. Good luck, boys! — M. H.

S., which is under the direction of Mrs. Vera Owens. The students visited the arts building, the home economics department, the library, and the art museum.

IL S. — The band held its first business jneeting last Thursday evening immediately after school recessed. Election of officers was held with the results as follows: president, Jim Singleton; vice president, Sue Merriman: secretary and treasurer, Grace Fuhrriian, librarian, Nyla Girod, and property manager, David Caston.

There will be several members of our band attending this festival. — M. H. S. — Fifth and sixth grade students in a county jail? Yes, and that is not the end of the escapades of these grade students. Last Tuesday these two grades took a day long field trip to Fort Wayne. While there they visited the filtration plant, the . Lincoln tower, and the county jail. (Finally an explanation!)
