/ SCHOOL REPORTER views and predictions of the coming ones. — A. C. H. 8. — Wrestling is a new sport on the docket for the physical education classes taught by assistant coach John Fruth. Stressing physical fitness, Mr. Fruth has given the boys tests. Having gone through the paces of pyramid building, tumbling, and various group games such as volleyball, the boys are already learning the basic ‘Tasseling holds.” — A. C. H. S. — With copy sheets and dummies nearly completed, Cen-trails editor Lowell Michaels and his assistants. Linda Stultz and Carol Kaehr, have a head start on their December 11 deadline. Just a few sheets, including title pages, remain to be finished, and then checked by advisor Earl Montague. That fateful day when senior pictures arrive will be here very soon, while underclassmen have to wait for theirs until mid-Decem-ber. — A. C. H. S. — At their next meeting, the shut-ter-bugs of the Camera Club will learn the “why and wherefore" of the new equipment now in the darkroom. Advisor Doyle Collier will demonstrate the use of the contact printer, enlarger, and developing trays, among the other articles. Then the "sharp shooters” will be ready to try their own hands at developing film. — A. C. H. S. — Drum majorette Gretchen Schnepp placed second in the Indiana state twirling contest at Butler Field House, Indianapolis, after rating superior in the Fort Wayne district. She competed with 31 other Hoosier high-steppers in the morning, and the second place was hers by twelve o’clock, though other activities took until late that afternoon. — A. C. H. S. — Mid-way through the annual FFA pest contest, freshman Christ Inniger leads the Central chapter with 7,800 points already tallied. All kinds of "varmints”—that is, parts of them—are being brought in. It’s open season on the farmer’s foes, with high bounty of 100 points placed on starling heads and rat tails. Martin Watson’s boys are competing against seven other northwestern Indiana counties, the winning chapter receiving a plaque. It’s the East side boys versus the West side, but when the contest closes on December 15, it’ll be .only the pets—rats, starling, sparrows, and others — that have lost out, no matter who scores highest! — A. C. H. S. — Completing their electricity projects, crystal sets, the senior industrial arts boys turned into "ham operators” to listen in on the Fort Wayne stations via their successful sets. Next comes architectural drawing. Each will design his own house, planning the base-, ment, first floor, and a yard layout. For extra credit, a pupil may make a scale model of his drawing during free time, as two boys did last year. — A. C. H. S. — As they visited Gerber’s Furniture Store in Bluffton last Wednesday, Mrs. Pete Ellis’ home improvement class saw' furniture in the different stages of construction. The twenty girls also toured the store’s furniture factory and show room, seeing different types of furniture, rugs, etc. — A. C. H. S. — Seen by U. S. and world history classes, a short thought-provoking film ended with a question mark attached to one of today’s big problems —what to do about juvenile delinquency? It showed what happened when a delinquency-racked town decided to take harsh measures against this kind of crime. This was the first in the year’s series of films shown by history intructor Harvey Haggard. — A. C. H. S. — Eggs a la goldenrod, toads in holes, omelets —just so the dish contains eggs!—this week freshman home economics girls produced surprising variations of old favorite breakfast dishes made with eggs. Next Wednesday they will plan whole breakfasts and then concoct more specialties. — A. C. H, S. — Can a turkey’s face show emotion? Four of Miss Marcia Ruddick’s high school art pupils — Doris Cauble, Nancy Frank, Sondra Cramer, and Mary Lou Ehrsam—painted a fat, badly frightened fowl on the window over the cafeteria counter. He even speaks help! help! is his cry, and no wonder! Who or what, for that matter —wouldn't be frightened with a steely-edged hatched so close to

County Agent's Column 0 - . , ...i 6 Urges Seed Tested County agent Leo Seltenright urges all farmers in Adams county who will have sead to Bell or sow next spring to get the seed tested during the fall or early winter. Seltenright offers to help fanners in this testing program by supplying instructions for drawing samples and special seed envelopes to rsending them to the state seed laboratory at Purdue for a free test as well aa by furnishing information on other seed matters. Seed that is advertised tor sale by farmers Is required to be tested and tagged. Seeds to be lawfully sold must be free of primary noxious weed seeds and must not contain excessive amounts of other weed seeds. Since the test is free, all farmers should take advantage of this service, Seltenright said. The tendency of farmers to postpone sending samples to Purdue until just before planting time usually results In a congestion of samples in the laboratory in February and March. Anticipating seed testing requirements and sending samples early is recommended. Care should be exercised In seeing
