countries df North and South America. Fifty patients registered froth Indiana. The Foundation is not self-supporting but in 1955 it came within about 1100.000 of paying its way. The National Follb Socibty paid the deficit. SO indirectly, that is where some of your dimes which you gave to the POII6 drive fverit. And they edui'du't have fcohe to a better cause, than mending stricken children.—o —— Every citisen of Decatur should be interested In the proposed sewage treatment plant here. If the stream pollution board's order to build a- plant is enforced, it means a minimum expenditure of a million knd a half dollars. The bond issue, under the Indiana statute can bri made by an ordinance of the city council. No referendum of voters is necessary. While repaymeht of the bonds will not be reflected in the tki rate, each citizen will pay his share of the ♦mount. because under the statute a fee will be added to each water bill, which amouni will go into the bond retirement fund for a period dt thlrtf-eight years. Estimates are that four water bill would be kt least doubled for the next thlrtf-eight ytelrs. ’’ 0 0 Justice of Peace Floyd Hunter made a wise move Tuesday when he asked the fathers of two Adkins county young men to attend the court session where the youths were charged with driving automobiles on U.S. highway 224 at a rate of 100 miles per hour, fthen hailed by state police officer Gent Rash, the chrs were abreast and crossed the Erie railroad trttek west of Decatur at the 100 bile rate. Hnnter fined each participant and restricted their driving licenses for a period of six months. This hot only serves as a stern reminder for the young men. but is a Stove toward safer highways. The Cburt also issued a warning thit bven stiffer penalties would be forthcoming to future speeders. We believe that almost every citisen of the communlty would approve the action of tho Decatur Justice of Peace. As someone wisely said, “the greatest safety device in any automobile is the driver himself.”

MONMOUTH HIGH By Shirley Sleeks Wbo was M Well. the students at M H S.sftV (inally his identity in special \\ -<ln---d.i' afternoon. Brown is a known magician who has appear-" ed throughout the country, especially in many of the schools across the nation, and he gave one of his performances for all 12 grades and the faculty at M. H. S. A very enjoyable feature of the act involved the antics of a very clever "dummy.” (Do such beings exist?) Thanks to you. Mr. Brown, 'for a grand assembly period. — it, H. B,' — Thfs year, as in the past two years, Monmouth will again be represented in the state achievement tests at Indiana University April 28. Several of the students who are competing this year are veterans from former years. Dave Beery and Clint Fuelling, who are this year participating in the state comprehensive mathematics test, bave both taken part in various exams in the past. Both Clint and Dave took the state geometry test two years ago. and last year Dave took the comprehensive math test. Two freshmen. Bob Beineke and Don Fuelling, are out to reap the honors in the algebra exams. This year the state English test will be taken by Barbara Carr, who participated in the English exam last year, and by Shirley Bleeke. Barbara, Shirley, Clint, and Dave are all seniors at M.H.S. The six students and two teachers will leave for I.U. Friday afternoon, April 27, and they hope to arrive on campus in time to take part in an evening of entertainment being planned for the contestants from all over the state. — M. H. S. — A display on Americanism at the Community Center in Decatur was viewed by the senior sociology class last Tuesday afternoon. The display was composed of numerous placards concerning Freedoms Foundation at Vhlley Forge and of the different flags of each state in the union. Several of these flags were discussed in detail, and the class learned several fascinating facts about the different state flags, including our own Indiana flag. — M. H. S. — Spaghetti and meat balls from Italy, southern fried chicken from the deep south, chow mein from China, oV exotic foods from the Hawaiian) Islands are all current

product* of the senior home economic* class. Each noon hour one section of the class prepares a dinner tbit is common to a certain part of the world and serves the meal to several of the other members of the class. Oh. those tantalizing arorns! — M. H. S. — The 1956 edition of the yearbook, the Eagle, has arrived at M. H. 8. and everyone has been craning his neck to get a first glance of its memory filled pages. So—shall we take a look inside . . .? As you turn the cover, but wait —take another look at that COVER. It displays a drawing of an enlarged class ring and is done in three colors—gold, white, and black. The entire designed by Dave Brown, and everyone thinks he did a really great job. This year the annual has been dedicated to the very patient and helpful class sponsor, Mrs. Geraldine Herderhorst, What’s this? Oh, now I see! This is the section, called "ages ago” and it contains a baby picture of each member of the staff! Hminmm! Cute! And here's the senior class history. Doesn't it bring back a lot of memories of the days when the class was engaged in varied business ventures to make enough money for the senior trip which will soon be a reality? The class “will” has bestowed everything from size 46 shoes to antique Model A cars on unsuspecting underclassmen. And then there is the class prophecy which promises to be rewarding with many a chuckle in the future. Pictures of individual athletes, teams, coaches, and cheerleaders bring back the grand days of a never to be forgotten season of basketball. The section for academic achievement* of this year ranges in scope from music, math, speech, and art contests to pictures of a newly equipped chemistry laboratory for M.H.S.’s so called scientists of tomorrow". And what do you think of those mixed up snapshot pages. Yes. it’s all finished at last, and the staff certainly hopes that you enjoy the product of many hours of work! — M. H- 8. — During the sale of “annuls" last fall, it was stated that when the yearbooks arrived for distribution in the spring, a name would be drawn, and this person would be awarded with a free annual. This drawing was held Tuesday, and Joyce Kirchner, a sophomore, was the lucky winner. Congratulations, Joyce! — M. H. S. — Chicago — The insulation value of three inches of wood is said to be greater than 12 inches of common brick or 20 inches of concrete, according to recent laboratory experiments.
