Pep has been roused beforehand in the Central rooting ranks, but who knows bow much pep is in a crowd until the crucial moments near The Pep Club after chapel Wednesday morning, found out! Oh, yes, and the pert new caps <a secret, fob, like the yell leaders’ outfits, until they arrive) were to arrive this week to completment the traditional scarlet and white of the pep group. —A.C.H.S.— Preparing for next Tuesday, too, are the senior concessioners and GAZETTE coat check workers. On hand for the fans’ convenience — and their treasuries’, too, it should be added — they'll be selling popcorn, candy, soft drinks, etc., and taking care of coats and hats. (P. S. Prices have stayed the same; only 10 cents a person, since hats, boots, etc. are checked with do extra charge.) Concession proceeds will go toward the senior trip fund, while coat check dimes enter the GBreyhound Gazette's treasury, for new equipment to make easier the publishing of the four-page weekly. —A.C.H.S.— Season ticket sales were open last week, before teachers* institute, when junior and senior high pupils could pay their $1.75 tor eight home games. Latecomers, however, were permitted to report to Mrs. Rene Brandt, school secretary, for theirs Monday and Tuesday. Yesterday, today, and tomorrow adults will be able to purchase their $3.50 tickets. —A.C.H.S.— •‘Junior band will practice this noon hour” and “senior band is to meet during music period Tuesday” evidenced the music departday” evidenced the music department’s hard practice as the “Marching Fifty-Five” appeared in two parades and the junior organization directed by bandmaster Don Gerig made their debut this week. High-steping Tuesday evening, both groups provided entertainment for the Berne Halloween parade. Wednesday evening the senior band appeared in the Decatur Callithumpian parade, competing with area bands for honors. Next week, results of this contest will appear in this column, since it was one of those "just under deadline” events. -A.C.H.S — Cross country for the Scarlet and Grey's thinclad ended last week as autumn got colder and plans tor the new track field progress. 'There are some orchids to say, here, too, so let’s see. . . . Nine thinclad runners will receive their letters in track next spring as a result past cross-coun-try season. Cross-country C-men are Phil Barger, Richard Hirschy, Jim Steiner, Roger Schlickman, Alan Habegger, Joe Lambert, Ron Corson. Danny Mendoza, and Bob Hart. —A.C.H.STwo records broken in one season is the record Central cinderman PhS Barger hold. Phil, a junior, took a new school record of 9:56 for himself October 12, as Central placed third in the county meet. Meeting Berne two weeks ago. he again pulled down a record run, topping his own with a 9:55. At the Greyhounds’ last meet of the season, it should be added, he placed sixth in a wide field of county champion runners. It was the sedonal EIC meet, and he missed top five, who were to go to the state, by seconds. Congratulations, Phil, and Central will be rooting tor you in the future! —A-C.H.S.— ’ Noon-hour recreation for boys who are not cm varsity or second squads will start in a week or so after a short recess from flag football. It’s a chance for the 56 boys who signed up to have a noon period for “waking up” and get a healthy competitive spirit worked up. John Fruth, unter-school sports coach, will divide the group into teams. Varsity squad teammates will coach these groups in turn, and seconds will referee the duels, so it’s good practice for the intraschool sports in addition to extra physical education for Centralities. ' '? • —A.C.H.S.— Hilarity made the juniors’ first class party something special in the way of class parties. A takeoff on “It Could Be You,” with Marilou Uhrich emceeing, pulled surprises on advisor Martin Watson, Rolland Zimmerman. Cecilia Lehman, Muri Yoder, and Ned Stucky. The "program” turned into slightly slapstick comedy, as Gary McMillen was reunited with an old girl friend from Arizona. Rollie Zimmerman made a charming entrance as the sweet Arizona girl by swinging into the gym from a rope in the band room! Alice Beer, Phil Barger, and Jane Grimm planned the entertainment, and Suzanne Edwards, Cecilia Lehman, and Gary McMillen played "hoata” as the refreshment com—A.C.H.S.— Sixteen seniors welcomed the teachers institute vacation especially last Wednesday, after writing

on the two-hour SQT (scholarship qualifying test.) Immediately after checking in Wednesday morning, the scholarship candidates met ig the agriculture room with principal Herman E. Frantz, who gave the instructions for filling out the application forms and the correct way of marking the answer sheet. Doris Cauble, Betty Steury, Sonja Yoder, Carol Heller.

into a headwind blowing 50 miles per hour, in what direction would the smoke blow Eight Math Club initiates (-charter and honorary members and advisor Lucille Beavers, too) frowned a bit and bent to that poser during Math Club initiation last Club Day, as the math-for-fun group tried out the initiates' mathmetical minds on logic. Scores were not available from the group, but when smiles burst out from the new members — Cecilia Lehman, Jane Grimm, Ludmila Gorb, Virginia Steffen, Leslie Ploughe, Bob Wechter. Max Egley, and Ned Stucky — it was evident the "hazing” hadn't been too hard. Sifter two weeks of suspenseful waiting following the organization meeting! And the answer to the problem isn’t in miles per hour or directions, for an electric train does not have smoke!

I, as an American citizen, father, World War II Veteran, president of the Adams County Young Democrats, and a public office holder have seen the new low in political advertising. This appeared in the Republican ad in the Decatur Daily Democrat on Monday, October 29,1956. As a World War II veteran, I served my country as an American, not as a politician, fighting a war of preservation to liberate oppressed people and stop the atrocities of Hitler and the Japs. I hold in the deepest disgust and contempt those politicians who Tor political gain desecrate the graves of my American comrades, who gave their lives in Europe and the South Pacific. I regret the use of the pictures of the graves of my American comrades as scare scenes in a political campaign. As president of the Young Democrats and a public office holder, I realize — the issues must be presented to the public, but the truth and the method is the responsibility of the party leaders and the candidates. Half truths and twisted facts only cause confusion. The people of Adams county and vicinity are not stupid as some politicians would lead you to ■ believe. They realize wars do not start over night, but build up over a period of time, like the present situation in Europe and Asia. No one could be blamed for Hitler’s or Tojo’s actions and deeds but themselves. No one could forsee or predict the actions of madmen such as Hitler or To jo. But when their acts and atrocities became unbearable Congress voted to declare war. Those men of congress were Christian God-fear-ing American men who believed in life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. They saw fit to act, so Hitler’s and Tojo’s acts of atrocities and persecution could be stopped. Politically I am glad lam not affiliated with a party which condones (besides pays for) the use of advertising to belittle our American principles and ideals. Republicans, Mr. Gallmyer and Mrs. Ifer did you want Hitler or Tojo in our United States back in the nineteen-forties? , - ; Signed: "7“ 7” ■ • ■' ' ■ • i f MERLE AFFOLDER, Adams County Sheriff.

Movie Star Relales How To Keep Young Secret Confessed By Ginger Rogers By ALINE MOSBY United Press Hollywood Writer HOLLYWOOD (UP)—A universal reaction when fans see an adult movie queen in person is. “How does she do it?” Ginger Rogers confessed her secret of seemingly eternal youth today—she sleeps outdoors. This apparently is one reason why Ginger looked like Diana Dors’ sister when the veteran star and the newcomer posed at a film

festival in France this year. The photographs showed what Hollywoodites have long noticed —that Ginger doesn’t look much different now from what she did in "Top Hat,” which is on TV these days. That is a delicate. subject to bring up to a female, but Ginger has a forthright answer: "Fresh air.” Anybody wandering at night through the backyard of her home could find Ginger and husband Jacques Bergerac sleeping under the stars. "There’s nothing like being outdoors,” the actress insists. “Jacques and I sleep on the patio or on the lawn by the pool.” France, with a territory slightly larger than the northeastern United States, boasts more apple trees than in all the U-S.
