with Dr. Merton Utgaard of Ball State the 28th and 29th. That Wednesday the choruses are at Pleasant Mills, and Thursday (the festival date) the bands will gather with Dr. Utgaard, perfecting their combined music. That formality of tickets will not be hard to perform: band and chorus members from each participating school will be able to supply them at 50 cents for adults and 25 cents for pupils. —A.C.H.S.— For five years baskets of food have symbolized Central's Thanksgiving, and again this year a line of twelve awaited the assembly

program. FFA officers presided at the future Farmers’ open meeting, and two gave readings. Rev. Wjllis Gierhart of the Monroe Methodist Church led the juniorsenior high in taking time out to think about Thanksgiving, and so the second fall holiday has, in spirit, begun. After the program, vocational agriculture boys distributed the baskets to deserving families of the area. —A.C.H.S.— Feasts? And More of them! Feasts of chili and oysters *— all you could eat for 50 cents — characterized last night’s PTA meeting. Oh, yes — December 17, the third Monday in the month, being the next PTA meeting, watch this column for a preview of the PTA Christmas program!

—A.C.H.S.— Besides being occupied with Thanksgiving community service project, the FFA-vocational agriculture department has seen lots of activity. Some happenings were the result of achievements past, others plans or things to come. Let's ramble through the FFA department for a sidelight, then —A.C.H.S.— As 40 anxious hunters trapped and hunted otherwise for all sorts of destructive animals, John Lantz and Alan Habegger lead the FFA war on pests. Midway through the chapter pest contest, which began November 1 and continues until December 15, both-John and Alan have tallied up around 3,000 points. From now on,

It’s every pest Tor Itself, and this goes for mice, worth 10 points, to groundhogs and foxes, which hack up 500 points for trappers. Though rats and red squirrels, tagged at 100 points and piegons, and starings at 25 points, stand between the highs and lows! tails or heads from these pests are also valuable. —A.C.H.S.— Agriculture is finding its own place on telvision. FFA president Phil Moser and senior classmate Don Bailey will appear on WKJGTV’s “Farms and Farming.” Their topic is the European corn bbrer how to control its spread, its various life stages, and the damages it causes to farm' crops. December 14 is the date for the demonstration, so keep that TV tuned to WKJG that day around.

■«—A.C.B.S.— Back in the classroom, each of the 18 freshman agriculture boys has chosen a different breed of cattle or hogs to study for a talk. After busily sending off for pictures and literature on their chosen breeds, the boys are readying for their talks this Week. The best pictures received from promotional organizations will be mounted to take their place on the walls with colored photos of other prizewinning animals. - A.C.H.S.— Recognition of contest achievement and plans for some time off sum up the FFA’s active schedule. Last week the land judging team, who participated in the contest last October, received a “Certificate of Participation”!- signed by

the director of extension at Purdue University and the state supervisor of yocational agriculture. If Chicago’s~ international livestock exposition attracts p party of 1218 boys, reports vpcational agriculture instructor Martin Watson, the group will take the Little Red Bprn Train to the agricultural event, December 2. It's a well — deserved time out for the actiye FFA chapter! —A.C.H.S.— Six underclassmen’s industrial arts projects — those of Ronnie Maines, Brooks Arnold, Denny Mertz, Larry Decker, David Houck, and Sidney Schwartz — have occupied the gym corridor bulletin boards for the past few weeks. From these detailed assembly drawings of gears, rivets

threads, etd., Doyle Collier's underclassmen industrial arts department will soon concentrate on their year's woodworking projects. —A.C.H.S.— Sophomore Mabel Steffen and junior Richard Hirschy reign as the Cen-trails Farmer and Farm- J er’s Wife as a result of the Re-kamamoh-FFA party last Friday Vveiung. —A.C.H.S.— After the coronation, games were played, including a scavenger hunt, to complete the annual FFA-Rekamemoh joint activity for this year. —A.C.H.S.— “Why should I be a Christian?” was the first of four questions Rev. Dye of the Linn Grove EUB Church put before Central’s fourth chapel assembly last week. After instructing the group to identify themselves with the “I,” he stated that he would supply answers to his questions in addition. Continuing, he asked “What kind of a Christian should I be?” and “How may I become and remain a real Christian?’' and concluded with a call of youth in "Why should I be a Christian now?” —A.C.H.S.— Recataloguing the study-hall-library has begun in earnest since the 15-drawer card catalogue arrived. From a supply company came catalogue cayds already printed with references, except for the title, subject, or author line, and the identification number, which must be supplied by the library itself. There are three or four cards for each book. Though these already are partly done in the printing, the identification has been keeping library typists clicking. It means a lot of work for the student-librarians and Miss Imogene .Beihold, but now the library has a good start to becoming an up-to-date, modern one. - A.C.H.S.— Sending the first section away to Hannibal, Missouri, climaxed the first deadline for Cen-Trails this last week. Soon to follow are underclassmen’s individual pictures and the election of'favorites for the yearbook “Who’s Who” sectional. There is a new list to be .thinking about candidates. Besides ]the king and queen and their court, [there will be a boy and a girl 'selected for the outstanding citizens of Central, and the most dependable, the most athletic, and the wittiest Centralites. The election dates have not yet been revealed, but watch for them soon. The coronation will be Saturday, December 15, when Central hosts the Berne Bears! Did ’ja know? Six cooks serve at least 12,600 meals during Central’s njne-month year! It’s holiday time, and also a good time to notice what a tremendous job the six — Mrs. Arnold, Mrs. Haines, Mrs. Byerly, Mrs. Rich, Mrs. Riley, and Mrs. McKean — do for the approximately 700 Centralites each day. And isn’t holiday time the natural time for good eating? Over 700 turkey-and-ail-the-trimmings dinners were served today to spice up the day-before-Thanksgiving-holiday. It adds that “Something” to school life when there are nutritious noon meals all the year around — not just at holidays. — and Centralites can be proud and grateful for their lunchroom hostesses, who do just that! Here’s the tip of Central’s derby to you, cooks, and thanks for every one of those 12,600 meals! —A.C.H.S.— They’re in the act, too, fellows! Noon-hour intramural basketball includes girls as well, now. Last week “singing up” began for girls’ intramural hardwood squads, and by midday yesterday — were on the roster. Team captains and squads were to be chosen, thus realizing a dream of the girls’ physical education boosters, —A.C.H.S.— “Glob” (ordinarily correction * fluid) entered the advanced typing class’ lives last week along with the stenciis-and-m imeograph
