Decorations bedeck Cen tral’s windows, with many holiday signs up, courtesy of the seniors art class, taught by Huberl Feasel. Red candles, complemented by a base of green holly, began making their appearances lasi week. Tomorrow, Art clubbers plan’ to bring in the greenery by welcoming the Christmas tree that has stood at the end of the eastwest corridor. A certain Mr. S. Claus and his reindeer have been brought out of storage, in addition. —A.C.H.S.— They say you should send your Christmas cards early, so here’s Central s greeting; hope all her Lg*ends have a wonderful holiday season beginning — beginning — oh. it shbuld have begun at least a fe'w days after Thanksgiving!

Court M M seniors, chosen last Monday; Arl««n Carol Kaefer, Gretchen B«hnepp, Linda Schug, and Betty BUmry; and Ron Croson, Ronald Gerber, Mask Ripley, Dave Smith, and Jim Stainer. Central Hes also voted for the “most athletie” aM *'mtot friendly'' pupils, Monday, while the fanulty chose the “most outstanding citizen” and the “meat dependable” seniors. However, those will remain one of those deep secrets for Cen-Trails until December 15, when the "King” and "Queen" will be revealed and the "Who's Who" honored. C H 9 Better breakfast week dawned for Central last Monday with a slogan contest, posters, table displays, and even a peep box atop the trophy case in the gym corridor! Captained by the frosh foods class taught by Mrs. Pete Ellis, the drive for better eating resulted In a poll of Centralites* eating habits. A suggestion was made on "how to get Hd of those breakfast blues** by a table displaying a hearty breakfast, located outside the cafeteria. —A.C.H.8.1-— — oh, yes, the slogan contest — there are five prize winning slogans now on the gym corridor bulletin board. The five winners are Billy McMillen. Phyllis Singleton, Tim Ringger, Cynthia Leman, and Mrs. Rowena Stucky. The frosh home ec girls examined 34 entries for a really catchy one, and they’re hoping at the same time that plugging “better breakfasts” in this way will halp €•»- tralites cure some breakfast blues. So now’s a good chance to say “congratulations” to the frosh girls. It's a worthwhile project that is important to every Centralite. . * . r ■' —A.C.H.S.— Three sudden death overtime battles out of five games played! Seems to Central as if that’s some sort of a new record. Last Friday night, double overtime number three disproved the superstition that "Third time's a charm.” as the Greyhounds met their traditional rivals from Wells County, the Lancaster Bobcats, and were brushed out 67-85. Scores ran high and see-sawed all through the battle as the Greyhounds*-re-fused to blink at Lancaster's height to steadily pop that ball into the hoop. . ~ ‘ —A.C.H.S.— ’ ' .

Three minutes beyond regulation play failed to decide the duel, so there developed that sudden death bell, when fans yell two different yells and pupils are beard to any. ‘TU die if this goes into another double overtime!" —A.C.H.S.— Looking ahead on the Central battle roster, there can be seen a duel with the Commodores Green and Gold measuring — tomorrow night! -A.CH.B.Decisively topping their Bobcat foes last Friday, however, were the Central seconds.

In the meantime, seconds — here’s a good luck yell for tomorrow! -A.C.H.SSeconds after the buzzer ended second-quarter play at the Lancaster due], half-time entertainment began as lights switched out and two small lights — one green and one red — appeared at the southern end of the gum. With a rufile of drums, the lights moved forward to the center cirele and then turned into a circle of light, twisting, .flashing, and darting around. After the fascinated auidepce had watched for a whjje, the lights winked on again to reveal of course; — drum-majorette Gretchen Schnepp, who had just presented half-time entertainment with her baton.
