Tickets inay still be bought at the Central gym door tonight, 50c for adults and 25c for students. —A.C.H. S. — * “Memories are made of this.” . . . Cen-trails will hold many of them of the '55-’56 school year. Not only for every student (who will definitely want to have the yearbook) but for alumni and just plain friends of Central high.. Os course who doesn’t like to thumb through and find pictures of acquaintences. including “Susie when she was in junior high,” teachers that used to put you through the paces, and the honored students such as Cen-trails Queen and club, and class officers? This year Centrails costs |2.75 and can be bought now from any annual staff member. — A. C. IT. S. — As the last seconds flew by Tuesday night in the hot Huntington township battle, forward Jim Steiner sank il free throw I—the 1 —the winning point!

S. - This is especially for all Com-modore-Central fans: at the basketball game tomorrow night you’ll find (to satisfy your sweet tooth) ice cream, candy, pop corn, and soft drinks sold by the senior class. You’ll be able to go home afterwards with your hat and coat still looking as sharp as when you came — no rumpled wraps for you! — because you can check them for a mere dime with the Greyhound Gazette people during the game. — A. C. H. 8- — It's good to send your Christmas cards early*■— and Central’s greeting is already out. hanging in the gym corridor for all visitors to see. whether they’re bound for the music festival, a ball game, or a PTA meeting.

Perched in front of it on the trophy case is the traditional Christmas tree, also set up for Central by the Art Club. — A. C. H. S.' — Slowly recovering from the horrible damage of World War 11, several European countries were shown busily rebuilding canals and dikes, and reopening steel and rubber factories in “Europe Looks Ahead,” seen by high and junior high school pupils last week.

team. Though badly outnumbered by the Concordia fans. ' the students did a wonderful job of yelling and showed fine spirit. The team played a game of which they may be proud, and although they came out on the losing end. they did a swell job. RAH JACKETS! — D. H. S. — Tomorrow' night, the Jackets will clash with the Berne Bears at the D.H.S. gym and we’re out to beat them. The bloc will yell the roof right off the building for our team, the band will play some fine sons, including a Christmas carol or two, and the cheerleaders and bloc, among other things will do an Indian yell, in which the cheerleaders wear purple and gold feathers and sit on “D” blankets while the bloc goes through some neat motions. During this yell, Joe Smith, an eighth grader, plays the big bass drum, which fits, the mood of the yell. Joe also plays the drum for the “hello” yell and does a fine job—thanks? Joe! Now let's go. you Jackets and beat those Bears'.! —D. IL S. -- ; , The money for beanies for the cheering bloc has been collected and the hats were ordered this week.

Those students who did such a good job of' collecting this money from the members were: Janet Lane. Linda Gamsby. Susife Custer, and Betsy Burk. Thanks,
