MONMOUTH HIGH SCHOOL By Grace Fuhrman Last Thursday MHQH night was a di-M| ' S O® mas to two full days of £? ing for the chor-IEWW us and band stu-|T dents of Adams county schools, j® -3 The two groups. || directed by Dr. ’: Merton ft guard.. gave a very fine

performance at the Adams county music festival. A new feature on this year’s program was a twirling exhibition by a group of Ynajorettes fro mthe various schools. Two of Monmouth’s majorettes, Linda and Lila Kruetzemann. participated. Marilyn Shock Haas, Ball State director of twirling, supervised the group and also gave a sqio exhibition of twirling. It is good to see that more and patrons of MHS are attending these programs. If you did not attend this year, plan to do so next year. You are sure to enjoy yourself. —M.H.S.— In the grade school news catagory, Mrs. Martin’s and Mrs. Harris’ rooms have new easels to use in teaching reading. They have been painted lavendar to match the new bookcases. Mrs. Martin’s students already have their room decorated for Christmas and it is reported that the other grade rooms will soon be “decked out" in their holiday splendor. —

The students of Monmouth are going to be cheering for the Eagles, because they know they can win. LOOK OUT SPARTANS!!! —M.H.S.— The band has now been measured for their uniforms and are now rive. The people of the community showed what fine citizens they are by “digging down” in their pocket and really helping the band. However, more money will be needed when the uniforms arrive and full payment is due. If you havd not contributed to the fund it is still not too late to do so and have your name placed on the honor roll of donors. Just call the school or a band member and ask to have someone pick up your donation. —M.H.S.— Monmouth’s eighth grade math class took a trip to the First State Bank of Decatur last Wednesday. Earl Caston showed the class members around and described the different duties of the personnel. He explained the various calculating devices, the vaults and safes, and the burglar alarm system. The class wishes to express its thank to Mr. Caston, and to Bill Auman, who provided the transportation, and the teacher, Mrs. Mary Lou Holt. (By Jeanie Cook) —M.H.S.— On Tuesday morning the senior
