ADAMS CENTRAL HIGH By Barbara F lech ter

Looks as if basketball has! grabbed news by! the nose to capture all the headlines this week! Sectional time is Hoosier hysten-j ia’s last fling, and it’s got! evervone in the'

everyone m - - ; whirl. Fane dif-■'**' **** * fer in the degrees of —- what shall we say?—determindness, perhaps! Some still scramble anxiously for tickets, while others whose teams have seen battle are re-taping hard-worked streamers back together. *”* That's sectional time for you! To all Adams County basketball fans Central says, “Hl! We’re glad tp have you here. Though every team can’t come ont on top. we wish all of you the best of luck. So go to it —have fun—and may the best team win.” • — A, S. — , f . As the headlines Tead. Ceirtrkl’s squad drew the bye in the tourney pairings. There isn’t a crystal ball or some such predicting gadget nearby, unfortunately, so by deadline time Wednesday, the outcomes of the games weren't known. Up ’till then, though, the Greyhounds were going strong, for their last game they whipped Wells County’s Champs, Petroleum by a nine-teen-polnt margin. At the risk of becoming very trite and repeating something we said here all year—Central gives wjth the last (and probably the heartiest) GOOD LUCK! yell of this season for Coach Arnold and the team. They've done a good job this year. Central’s proud of them,

win or lose! — A. C. H. S. -* One or so more notes on last Friday's Petroleum battle must be included. It was the last game of the season—the traditional night of the coronation of the Cen-Trails Queen. Karen Snyder and her court —, Margorie Becker, Betty Steury, Carolyn Christener. and Sonja Shug-~entered the gym escorted by King Lowell Mlchapls and Jim Fisher, Larry Lautzenheiser, Jerry Sprunger, and Dee Myron Byerly. Cen-Trails advisor Earl Montague announced the names of the couples over the PA system as they crossed the gym floor. As the five pairs walked on-stage for the last part of the ceremonies, Mr. Montague hailed the new Cen-Trails King and Queen, Lowell and. Karen. — A. C. H. 8. — Halftipe entertainment saw 115 band members marching on the hardwood last Friday night. Central’s Marching Fifty-Two came first to introduce the program, presenting the Petroleum and Central school songs while stepping out the P and AC letters. They formed a sort of frame for the rest of half-time, to surround the junior and beginners’ bands, which marched in turn, led by drummajorette Gretchen Schnepp, onto the floor. Directed by Don Gerig, each played a selection while the little twirlers performed. The two younger groups are tomorrow’s senior band, and it looks as if the future band has good material that is being trained well right now! . — A. C. H .S. — And so back to *the sectional doin’s . . . — A. C. H. 8. — “Grrrrraugh! Rah! Rah! ißah!

Central Greyhounds? Central Greyhounds’’ Pep Clubbers and their yell queens—Bette Royer, Mary Lou Ehrsatn, Sonja Schug, and Karen Snyder - prepared for basketball seadbn’s finale in a feverish pep session last Monday. At 1« o'clock the big pep powwow went on as preparations were being completed for The Big Weekend. The peppers saw to it that seating arrangements were in order. and then practiced on those letters fans saw Wednesday evening. ‘ —A. C. H. S. — When the battle grows crucial and fans are on their feet with excitement, what’s the least thing they want to bother with? Righto! —a good coat and hat they don’t want crushed. Wraps are even less handy to pack around in the milling crowd or when they’re draped over railings, gathering wrinkles and creases. Fans find out quickly that they don’t like to go home from a session with beat-up wraps. Helping fans and the tourney managers as well, this year will be the Greyhound Gazette Coat Check workers. Fans who check their coats are making it easier for the management as well as aiding a good cause—for bulky coats and other wraps take up needed seating room. Fans whose sweet teeth demand something to munh on during the games haven’t been put out so far!. Senior concessioneers are selling popcorn, soft drinks, candy, and all kinds of ice cream. — A. C. H. 8. — Triumphantly closing their season, Don Arnold’s “B" team tripped Petroleum’s Panthers 36 to 24 last Friday night. Their excellent record reads 16 wins on the heavy side with only 5 defeats. Regulars on the squad are Ronald Gerber, Dan Ross, Phil Barger, Winston Lister, Mark ißipley, De-

Wayne Byerly, Mike Lehman, and David Smith. Looking hack a bit sees Dan Ross as the high point man ot the group while other awards will go to Wayne Byerly for foul shot percentage and Phil Barger for assists. — A. C. H. 8. — Freshman basketball's successful season closed last week, when the Central frosh conquered Wells’ County's Lancaster 35-31, bringing their tally to 11 wins and 5 lostes. Regulars this year were Gene Baumgartner, Max Egley, Philip Gerber, Norman Hart, John Hartman, Alan Habegger, Tom Heyerly, Jim Hoffman, David Isch, and Roger Schlickman. Max, who also played on the “B” squad, will receive the field goal trophy, while Alan Habegger won the foul shot award. — A. C. H. S. — Come award day, this spring, which will be held after track season comes to an end, these players will receive their recognition along with other outstanding Centralites of the year ’55-’56. _A. C. H. 8. — Also winding up a good season are Leroy Cable’s junior high boys. In last Monday night’s battle with Geneva, they lost A close battle, by only two points. Tourney time for junior high fans will be next Monday anti Tuesday, when the eighth grade squad takes on Decatur Catholic in the north side playoffs of their county tourney. Winders in this tilt will go on to play either Pleasant Mills or Geneva for the county crown. — A. C. H. 8. 1Being accurate counts more than going fast and making dozens of errors has been the by-word of John Fruth's junior typists for the past grading period. Capping off their accuracy study (complete with many exercises and drills in whih typists had to work as long as possible without making an error) they took three five-minute timed writings this week as part of their final test To make 100% under the stiffened grading standards, the typist must “travel” at 48 gross wdrds per minute and make no errors at alt Just try it if this seems very easy! — A. C. H. 8. -* Junior and senior seamstresses are finishing several projects in their home econcftnics class of nineteen taught by Mrs Pete Ellis, two wool skirts are completely done, while a pair of nylon dusters have nearly the final stitches in. Other articles from Bermuda shorts to corduroy jumpers to lined suits (w|th a blouse to match the lining, by the way) are in the different stages ot completion.
