alee. It jumped from 1,684 to 1,494 in the period of a year which according to the banking newspaper is st record among American banks. First State Bank certainly is one of the principal reasons why Decatur is one of the finest small cities In the world. Its contributions to our city’s success are many. Through the years, since 1883, it has stayed financially strong and always willing to give financial aid and encouragement to those who sought its counsel. We congratulate the present officers, President Theo dore Graifker, Cashier Herman Krueckeberg and their aides tor the operation of First State Bank which has brought honor to the institution and status to our City. ■‘ 0 - Aside from being an excellent breather from our daily chores, athletic events, such as the Indiana high school basketball tourneys serve many good purposes for both the competing young people and the adult fans. If we attend a basketball game during a tournametit, we see young America at its best, moved and thrilled by clean, hard, safe competition. The participants learn many valuable lessons in each game. The contest developes the best in each competitor. The officials are the judges. Their word is final. The competition teaches all of us lessons in the-American way of life. Os course someone is disappointed at the*outcome of every game, but defeat also is a great lesson for all of us If taken in the right vein. Athletic events prepare our youth for the battles ahead in life and each contest makes ns reflect a little on our own shortcomings.

Karen Reed, Barbara apd„school reporter for Adams Central; and ■' ‘ ' - ----- - ... . . _>■<_ * _> .... , ■ ' •

Being a school reporter in Itself isn’t such a difficult task; it’s finding the time to complete each week’s column to meet the deadline that is the hard part. Each of the five school reporters is a very active member of her own school, and three of them even have part time -jobs. There are many; many happenings to and arountf the halls of their respetive schools every day, and these girls have worked hard and quite successfully over the past five months, to ■apture these happenings and write them in away that parents, riends, teachers, and former stuients will realize that school days 'JRE the "best time of their lives." Barbara Flechter has the disInctlon of being the only junior lass* member of the school reportrs. She Is the daughter of Mr. nd Mrs. Dan Flechter of route our, and for as long as she can itnember, she has been vitally nterested in jpumalistn. A straight A” student at Adams Central, er favorite subject, as one might less, is journalism. She is. colltor of the Greyhound esident of the math club, a memir of the Rekamemoh club, and also an active student librarian. —'rittog is her main hobby, and le likes to play the Hawaiian nitar and plans to teach it this jmmer. She has decided to major 1 either English or journalism, nd will probably enter Indiana niversity following , her gradua’.on next spring. a . A typical example of a busy renter is Margie York, from Decair Catholic high school. Feb. 14, ,t the half time of the Adams entral-Commodore game, she was rowned Homecoming Quean for 954. Originally she had been ■Bosen as one of four candidates >y members of her school, and the ictual voting was later done by 'peetatora at tjie last few Commolore games Margie is an assistant lews editor of the Hi Light, and is also secretary of the student splrtttthl council. She is the daughter of Mrs. Marie York, and likes to help out at home with cooking. Her hobbies are centered around sports activities, dancing, swimming, and she enjoys taking pictures. As yet, her plans for the fdture are quite undetided, but she plans to work throughout next summer, and then perhaps enter college for study aa an X-ray technician; - The smallest and probably the liveliest -of the reporters is D.H.S.’s Decree Striker. Very interested in sports Dee Dee has been one of the three varsity

cheerleaders for the 1955-56 basketball season. She recently entertained all of the Adams county cheer leaders at her home, prior to this sectional. Also interested r ln music, she is a member of the high school choir and sings with the orchestra. Dee Dee is one of the co-editors bl the Jacket Journal and her outside organizations include the Sunshine Girls, of which she is a state’grand officer, Arts. Teaching, she has decided, will be her career, and she will enter Ball State next fall. The daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Striker, she also works part time at Gass Ready-to-wear. Recently elected “Future Homemaker of Tomorrow” at Monmouth high, was Shirley Bleeke, the Monmouth school reporter. Daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Bleeke of route three, she is editor of the Monmouth year book, the Eagle, and is senior class secretary. Although she isn’t taking home ec this year, she Is secretary to the homie ec teacher at Monmouth and has gained a lot of valuable xeperienebs from It. She is a member of the Eagles pep club and was a delegate to girl’s state last year. She’ recently placed third in the Legion oratorical contest held at Decatur high school, and she enjoys cooking, reading, and writing short stories. She has enrolled at Ball State Teachers College, and will enter there this- fall majoring in speech and journalism, also hoping tor maintain the same “A” average as she has done in high school. Being secretary to the principal at pleasant Mills high school is one of Norjna Jean Bailey’s biggest jobs. She has also maintained an "A" average throughout her years at P.M.H.S.. and this year is business manager of the “Spotlight," and also is a member of .the pep etab. Besides her activities and working part time at Murphy’s store, she is very active in 4-H work, and has Won towmerons honors arid awards. Norma Jean is.(he daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Rohert L. Bailey of route six, and she?" will attend Pbrdue tTnfversfty this fall with tor major being to horde economies. All of the reporters are active chujrch members and some sing in their cSufch choirs or are. associated with some youth group or 'Sunday class. They havte all maintained an exceptionally high grade average throughout their school years, and as typical high schoolers, are always en-| gaged in some busy activity. j

Deadline for each week’s column to be in this office is Wednesday noon, and not one of the reporters has ever failed to meet this deadline. s Even with this busy sectional week, they managed to get their work out on time. Fourteen weeks remain for these girls to present their column, and it is assured that with each and every week, the reading public will get to know the school students better. As a group, these girls have only been together on one occasion to actually talk over their work, but surprisingly, their styles of writing have blended very well. At least one more such meeting is planned for the group, and will probably take place as soon as the much talked about “Hoosier hysteria - ’ quiets down. The “School Reporter” had been in the,"thinking” stages for several years, but it wasn’t actually developed until last year when Gwen Hilyard and Joan Laurent from the Decatur high school and Decatur Catholic high schools respectively, tried their luck at newspaper writing. The column was then edited by Joan’s older sister, Marlene, ’ who is a news reporter for the Dethocraf. Tiffs y'ehr, Adams Central. Monmouth and Pleasant Mills were asked to select reporters, and the column is edited by Gwen Hilyard, now a member of the Democrat staff. ~ Future plans for the “School Reporter” afire indefinite, but it is almost sure that, with the wonderful response that it has received since its beginning, it will be continued. And it can onfy be continued by the busy young people of today’s schools, who take time out to let us all in on that fourth great estate — Journalism.
