Northeastern! Indiana district; music, industrialarts, and acade-; mtc competition last week end: saw Centralites really z i n the thick of Itlj How about a! recap of the! results? J

— A. C. H. 8. — Congratulations to both the band and chorus for bringing Central honors! Each group, competing with about 34 other musical aggregations, copped excellent ratings at Bluffton last Saturday. That afternoon found Don Gerig’s senior band performing at the Allen high school. The First Methodist church there held the choral concerts, while Central’s representatives sang earlier in the day. — A. C. H. S. — Final results in the March 24 academic contests at Bluffton, too. in algebra, geometry, comprehensive math, and English will come soon from Indiana University. The last checking on the tests will be done there. It'll be at least two

weeks before statewide results and the ranks of each school will be released. So wait and see . . . — A. C. H. S. — At Fort Wayne’s Northeastern Indiana industrial art exhibits last Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, the projects of four Central high school pupils were singled out to be sent to the state exhibit. French Lick, in southern Indiana, is the site of these exhibits, which are to be shown today, tomorrow, and Saturday. Along with the lamp sophomore Gary McMillen produced in his woodworking class, will go two juniors’ projects. Out of the upperclassmen's metals class come IRon Gerber's dinette set and Emanuel Gerber’s garden tractor. Richard Kaehr, a senior, made the set of three nested coffee tables that also can be seen at this state exhibit today. — A- C. H. S. — All of Doyle CollieFs pupils who exhibited their projects and drawings last week received a certificate of merit for entering the district competition. However, the boys whose projects took longer to make (many are still at work on theirs) will be displaying all types of interesting products made in this department come open house

time. Then all industrial arts boys will be able to "show their stuff” in varied exhibits . . . along with the rest of; the school's year's .work. Judges (vlll come from outside the Central community to Select the four best projects and award four rihbdns and four pins in each division. May 4 is the date. Be watching for more “info.” — A. C. H. S. — Now how about looking to the future a bit with the journalism department? Staff organization on the Cen-Trails and the Greyhound Gazette is in full swing. — A. C. H. S. — Last week, not long after application papers were subrffitted, the G/eyhound Gazette became a member of the IHSPA. Besides being an honorary statewide organization for school publications, the Indiana high school press association aids newspapers and annuals in keeping their journalistic standards high and “up to snuff,” so that the goals will stay high year by year. Official press cards of the IHSPA were awarded to the journalism class five, Friday, when the membership paraphernalia came. — A. C. H. S. — “Who? means you!” will appear in tomorrow's Gazette to initiate the Central paper’s call for cubs. The Cub club ranks will officially

open next Tuesday, when a meeting for all journalistic-minded Centralites will be called. The other four W’s—and the hour of reporters —who, what, where, when, why, and how, will be discussed, and application blanks given. Soon Central will know- its ‘56-’57 Gazette staff! — A. C. H. S. — Among the definite signs that "spring has sprung” are the glimpses Centralites have had once in a while of runners warming Up in familiar gray track suits. For several weeks now, track hopefuls have been trying out. And why delay the news? Central's first track meet is—to get the matter really straightened out now —today! Central cindermen will take on Pleasant Mills and Jefferson in a meet this afternoon. — A. C. H. 8. —. Practice last Tuesday night found an all class, thin clad roster meeting Petroleum. The Central cindermen were defeated, but the extra experience acquired on this meet should stand them in good stead! ’— — A. C. H._ 8. — Girls volleyball intramurals ended in victory Tuesday for Rose Lantz’s sophomore squad when they ousted the Juniors, captained by Marjorie Nussbaum, 21-11. More volleyball will probably be played at the noon hour by the girls, but for now, the “sophs” reign as champs. . — A. C. H. 8. — And so-comes the final fade-out of basketball (though echoes of both past and coming seasons will probably still continue to pop up every once in a while). The hardwood crew of this past cage season was feted at the last PTA meeting in honor of the squad’s work. About 140 persons who attended the "basketball banquet” heard Paul Hensel of Central Soya speak on “I dare you to be a chmapion.” — A. C. H. 8. — Junior Carol Kaehr will head the annual next year as editor, and she'll be helped by assistant editor, Ned Stucky. Cen-Trails advisor Earl Montague has announced the rest of the staff as: organization editor, Linda Stultz; assistant, Cecilia Lehman; literary jditor, Barbara Fiechter; assist"ant. Winston Lister; circulation manager, Cynthia Lehman; assistant Winston Lister; ,-«clrculation manager, Ron Corson; sales manager, Ron Gerber and sports editor, Mark Ripley, with assistant Richard Hirschy. Shirley Hirschy will hunt up the alumni for her part of the yearbook. Virginia Steffen and Phil Moser are to help as typists, and Mike Lehman will take charge of photography. His asslstahtr are Muri Yoder and Evan Yoder. — A. C. H. S. — Spring festivities for Central clubs are in the air . . . For instance, take the Art club's forthcoming skate. The night has not been definitely decided when clubbers and their guests will “blossom out” for a get-together at Happy Hours Rink. So keep a sharp eye! — A. C. H. S. — Archery club *lßobin Hoods" began preparing for spring shooting In proper fashion last club day. Old straw targets were burned, while work started on the clubbers' quivers. Bad weather and the cancellation of several meetings had kept the archers from gathering for several weeks. — A. C. H. S. — Central shutterbugs got together in the history room during Friday's club period to see a new set of slides from Eastman Kodak. The color films helped the photographers more on doing color photography. Next month’s meeting will find the group studying the set of 196 winning prints from a national high school photography contest. — A. C. H. S. — “Would you answer a few questions?" queries a frosh Math club member, thrusting a drawing of three circles in front of your eyes. “Now, one circle has a perimeter twice the size of one of the others, while one is twice the area of another. XVhich is which?” A poll, perhaps, to determine the mathe...J ..... . ■

matical abilities of Centralites? Ah, that’s just the question! A part of the “junior Archimedes” secret project — and the last club period found them hard at it as one can see! . — A. C. H. ji. — “Beeps Bombard Borps!” announced last Friday’s paper. Tis true, for in the sophomore class’ stationery sales campaign, Muri Yoder’s Beeps outsold Gary McMillen’s Bops by |3OO. Alice Ann Beer, Ned Stucky, and Winston Lister rated the three top salesmanship laurels, respectively. Alice Ann sold $74.20 out of the approximate class total of >7OO. As a result, over S2OO will go into the class treasury in preparation for the senior trip. — A. C. H. S. — Purdue University, host to the state FB'A convention, will be the center of interest for "several Central chapter members April 6 and 7. Among the 334 Hoosier representatives will be Don Ray and Don Bailey, who are delegates to the meetings, and who will serve on separate committees while there. Juniors Philip Moser and Michael Lehman are to appear in the state FFA chorus. Contest activity here will be limited to the main honors, the state chapter and state farmer divisions. Thus far, three, seniors — Arlen Mitchel, Richard Kaehr, and Dee Byerly—hays passed the district screening and-’-ere in direet line now for receiving their state farmer degrees. Friday night, April 6, the winners of the state chapter contest will be revealed. — A C. H. S. — Here’s a sidelight that “the press” has found on thia convention: since vocational agriculture instructor Martin Watson coached Central to win the state parliamentary procedure contest, he has been invited to act as parliamentarian for the meetings this year. The convention will depend on him to settle any questions on parliamentary procedure at the official meetings . . . — A. C. H. 8. — ’ Full cbtton skirts are appearing in the eighth grade home ec classes, while stylish cuffed overblouses are coming out in the seventh grade girls’ sewing boxes. The newcabinet (which holds enough Individual drawere to accommodate every home ec girt’s sewing equipmqnt) made by the industrial arts department stands now close to the doorway and helps a lot to keep patterns, cloth, needles, thread, and bobbing together. The seventh grade group has just finished pillow cases, while the second junior b|gh section is coming close to completion of their first major project. — A. C. H. 8. — Sophomores are getting a taste of what upperclassmen life will be for them. Last week the “sophs” met with , a representative of the Herff Jones company to select their class rings. Early next fall the eagerly awaited rings will arrive. Just this Monday, Mr. Longley from the Curtis Publishing company, talked to both the sophomore and junior classes about their joint magazine campaign. Next September the two classes will begin their annual upperclassmen duel, competing for the most sales. Decisions as to which company will furnish the magazines, Crowell-Collier, or Curtis, will be made soon, no doubt by student vote. - A. C. H. 8. — Extra! Extra! Tomorrow is the two-weeks-to-go mark in the “You Can’t Kiss Caroline” east schedule. Events are approaching fast. For instance, the actors are well bri into the second act, under the direction of Miss Lucille Beavers. The first and longest part has been nearly mastered since last week . . . And the best was saved ’till last—tickets go on sale for the juniors’ three-act comedy next Monday. Someone said, Tempus fugit!! Time does fly (to risk getting philosophical — whew!) and just quoting another aged saying will sum things up—a word to the wise is sufficient! _± • r. *
