Emcee Marilou Uhrick first introduced (In poetry, as the show theme went) two "style artist.," Jacle Snyder and Cecilia Lehman, who demonstrated on easel, “what a girl should know before she sewa.” A happy chorus of home ec girls showed the activities of the sewing department, and. then —the style show began. Blouses, skirts, dusters, dresses—the hard work of a year of home ec projects —were shown. Pages Marilyn Christqner and Nancy Jauregui stood bn either side of a lattice arbor and read a short poem for every girl as she approached the footlights. ’Twas all very pretty, and thanks go to Mrs. Pete Ellis and the girls for their fascinating style show. — A. 0.

the awards day ceremonies of last Friday afternoon. During the fourth period at this special jun-ior-senior high assembly, approximately 188 awards—letters, service bars, pins, keys, and trophies —were presented to Centralites for high achievement in ’55-’56, Sports (track, basketball, cross country, and intramurals), yearbook. school safety patrol, student council, girls phys. ed., band and chorus, industrial arts, math, English, journalism, and library awards were presented during the hour-long assembly program. Again, congratulations go to all the Centralites who received honors, and. to quote principal John O. Reed as he closed this year’s awards program, “You’ll be proud of your awards for a long time . . . To those who haven't received trophies or medals, this can serve as a goal for work at Central next year." — A. C. H. S. — Issues 37 and S 8 of the Greyhound Gazette coming out tomorrow and next Wednesday (the iast two of the year) will give all its readers a chance tp see what "cubs” can do. And it’s a chance for the "cubs,” or new members, to show their stuff—for those last two are published by the Gazette staff as it will become ’ next September. The seniors will be away on 'the trip, and so the complete transition from "old" to “new’’ will serve double duty to help give the new staff an idea of what newspaper — especially on the Gazette — work is like. "Pep" meetings and conferences have been held for the past few weeks to get that all-important in-service training. It was hustle and bustle, but the staff of ’56 ’57 is hoping that Gazette patrons will want to see much more of this kind of work in September! - - - __ A c H s _ It’s evident that the’ school year is drawing to the close, for varsity sports have ended. The big IEC meet at Muncie capped it off, with Central’s first try at such a title netting 13 points and a triple tie for fourth place. Central cindermen who scored were David Smith. Richard Hlrschy, Phil Barger, Allen Miller, and Ron Corson. — A. C. H. S. — Volleyball playoffs last w*eek

They’ve taken to outside drawing this week, since they’ve completed a poster course that included ways of lettering.

Electronic Brain To Track Army Supplies To Watch Supplies All Over World DETROIT (INS) — A group of electronics engineers In Detroit is putting the final touches to the U. 8. Army’s |5,500,000 electronic brain which will keep track .of Army supplies all over the world. The machine, called “Bizmac,” was designed by Radio Corporation of America. Technicians are working around-the-clock at the Army Ordinance Tank Automotive Command in Detroit, installing the electric data processing system. “Bizmac” is expected to be completed by June. Its job will be to record data on more than 200,000 Items, from nuts and bolts to tank engines at Army depots. Despite It’s high. „cost, the “braid” is expected to pay for itself in six years through manpower and paper work savings. R. C- A. engineers are supervising the installation job. Sixteen specialists check every stop as the electrlcans wire each of “Bizmac’s” 200 separate units together. Before the’main nerve center of the brain was put into operation, six hundred miles of cables were linked. The engineers describe this complex assembly of copper wires and magnetic devices ks an electronic scratch pad or “memory” unit. It can store Information JIL definitely and recall it in a split second. Twenty women clerks are now writing up data for tapes 'to be given the machine. One code number may act as the signal for the' brain to turnout on its printing device all stored information on. for example, the number of tanks the Army has In Japan. J A question on a certain item in stock can result in "Bizmac's” turning out a whole printed catalogue on the item. Months of paperwork by hundreds of clerks can

If an operation is not going correctly, "Bizmac" stops and a light flashes on a control board, enabling the technicians to tell at a glance where the failure lies. Los Angeies — When water meters were first installed here, dally water consumption per person dropped from 260 to 132 gallons. Engineers said the 128 gallon drop represented waste and leakage.
