PLEASANT MILLS HIGH By Kay Archer

• iw/ ■

Just another day and we will all be having that wonderful Christmas vacation that we have been looking forward to s o anxiously. Make this Christmas one of the most

enjoyable ever by remembering that it’s better to give than to receive. P.M. is wishing a Merry Christmas to everyone! —P.M.H.S.— New basketball suits have arrived for the players." The suits are white with black letters. Tile team has looked forward to these for sometime and will feel very proud to wear them. The-boys will be sporting these at one of the games in the near future. - P.M.H.S.— What did you get? Who had your name? Can’t you hear such questions ringing in your ears already? These are some of the exclamations one supposedly hears when gifts are being exchanged. Friday is . that big day for P.M. All the gifts that are brought are laid under the big Christmas tree that is sitting in front of the assembly. This tree was beautifully decorated by the juniors. P.MJI.S. — i juntirrir A fast 'get-we£ to Larry Brunner, a member of their class. Larry has undergone an operation and will be missed at school for the next few days. He will not only be missed at school but also at the ball games, where he often plays a forward position. —P.M.H.S.— Do you tftink it would be difficult to edit a newspaper? Each senior in the journalism class is now in the process of making* one. He finds that this is not too difficult but that it takes a lot of time. Newsprint paper was presented to them by their English teacher, Mrs. Sutton. They are writing their own editorials and using original ideas. This newspaper has to be handed in Friday and will be used as a part of the six- weeks grade. —P.M.H.S.—

Graduation pictures are coming just in time to given away as Christmas gifts. They arrived Wednesday; you can almost imagine that there was a scramble of picture exchanging at noon and between classes that day. This is just in time to give away as makes you so glad you’re a senior. —P.M.H.S.— Something new is being done in the senior typing class. A chart is posted on the. wall showing how many correct words' per minute are being done by' each student (that is, if he types over 35). So far Homer Gause is in the lead with 52 correct words per minute. The music department has received its entry blanks to participate in the state music contest. Several talented stbdents will be entering. This is to be held at the Central high school in Fort Wayne. Good luck, kids, and bring some high honors with you! -P.M.H.S.— The candy-selling project has now ended for the juniors, and it may be added that they did a very fine job. It was well worth their time and effort. The race to sell the most tallied thus: Barbara Geisler, first; Gary Shoaf, second; and Wendell Kelly, third. — PMHS — Christmas carols are being sung by the chorus to practice for a special musical program that they are This is just another step' lp,.m£l4£ season a, happier Xne — PMHS — Lynn Mefferd and Duane Seiple, two talented members of the senior class, had an interesting experience at the Pleasant Grove church, where revival services were being held the past two weeks. Lynn Was song leader; Duane accompanied him on tht* piano. — PMHS — Germs really spread fast! or do they just “stick around” for a long time? This last Monday Mr. Johns was absent from school because of illness. . ... _ pMHS _ Basketball games will come to a halt for a short time after Tuesday’s game at Petroleum and Friday's game with Decatur Catholic, here. ADAMS CENTRAL HIGH By Barbara Fiechter

“Christmas is. here, bringing j good cheer — to; young and old . . the refrain! from the “Caroll Os The Bells” | also applies to this pre-holiday week that’s al-| most past.! Somehow, ways I

of observing Christmas have stolen into almost every piece of the happenings called news. Let s take in part of this, then ... —A.C.H.S.— Music everywhere dominated Central’s Christmas picture as the three-part celebration ends tomorrow, climaxed by “Glory To God,” a Biblical play built around the shepherds, the innkeeper, and a Bethlehem family. Christmas carols, with group singing and special music, will introduce the morning’s program: The ten-member-ed Latin class will sing two familiar carols, ‘kAdeste Fideles” and Selin Nox (Oh Come All Ye Faithful”- and "Silent Night”) — yes, they will sing the melodies in their new-found language of Latin! -A.C.H.S.— Three carols gave a world-wide flavor to part two of the Central Christmas p.K~ram. “Carol

Os The Bells,” from the Ukraine, “As Lately We Watched,” from Austria, and, coming home to America, "I Wonder As I Wander," an Applachian folk carol, carried out the music theme by the 63-voice senior chorus, in yesterday’s chapel. Rev John Mishler, of the Pleasant Dale Church of the Brethren, spoke, preceded by two members of the speech class, who read the Scripture and an inspirational reading. —A.C.H.S.— Christmas program, part one, came last Monday as an afternoon assembly was treated to a preview of “Merry Christmas, Mr. Snowman,” the grades’ second operetta. ’Twas a preview, all night, for the main showing came Monday evening, at the December PTA meeting. So let's take it into there. » —A.C.H.S.- - Twelve-hundred was the size of the audience attending “Merry Christmas, Mr .Snowman,” December 17.. The Central stage came alive with snowflakes, Santa Claus, and a “real" snowman as the parents -found out just what happened when some stray sleepy sand gets into Santa’s eyes on Christmas Eve and. a snowman can’t enjoy the holiday because two children almost forget to top him out in a hat and buttons. A colorful parade of toys from Santa's pack (which will be spotlighted later) the grumpy snowman, Santa’s snores ,the live creche of the manger scene revealed during t a song, and —• welj, all of the hour-and--a4>alf. made the operetta sparkle. Congratulations to the teachers, parents,, and pupils for another operetta that’s well described tops! —A.C.H.S.— Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus, Santa’s elfin helpers, and the toy parade had a double job, for in addition to appearing twice for the operetta, they helped the Marching Sixty-One in halftime entertainment Mt last Saturday evening’s game. After playing the school songs and forming a "B" and a revolving “C,” the senior Club, played and sang “Deck the band, with the help of the Pep Halls." Then, in came Santa Claus to the tune of “Jolly Old Saint Nicholas.” After the-band stepped out of Santa's pack, in came helpers, followed by the toy parade, which was ended by a small black-and-white skunk that captured the audience’s smiles and hearts. . . . While we're on the subject of Saturday night, let’s take a peek at the event that came between the halves of the second team game. . . . —A.C.H.S.— Curiosities and anticipation ran rampant at last Saturday evening’s Cen-Trails “Who’s Who" night. But around 7:30, the well-kept secrets were revealed by band-master-emcee Don Gerig, after the five royal couples had walked across the gym floor and taken their places on the stage. The crown-bearer then presented the crown to the king, who found the queen’s name there, and then named the queen by escorting her to the throne and placing the crown on her head. And who they were: Carol Kaehr and Ron Carson reign as ’57 Cen-Trails “queen and “King.” Attending the couple, were this court of eight: Arleen Freels, Gretchen Schnepp, Linda Schug, Betty Steury; Ron Gerber, Mark Ripley, David Smith, -and Jim Steiner. —A.C.H.S.— Also a part of “Who’s Who” night was the honoring of the “most friendly” and “most allaround athletic” (chosen by pupils' vote) and the “most dependable vote) and the “most dependable" and “most outstanding citizens”

(chosen’by the faculty). King Ron and Queen Carol topped student vote as the most friendly Centralities, .while seniors Majorle Nussbaum and Jim Steiner received the most votes for the best athletes, as announced by Mr. Gerig. On the faculty's side, Carol again was tops as being the most dependable, while Mike Lehman, also a senior, was honored of the boys. Capping off Saturday evening’s honors, junior Ned Stucky and senior Barbara Fiechter were named the “most outstanding citizens.” —A.C.H.S.— Round-robin “thanks” are proper, to put credit where it’s due for the coronation. For the background music of the Centralized "Sweetheart of Sigma Chi” credit goes to two sets of sisters, Marica and Irene Merriman and Cloe and Wanda Neuenschwander and their accompanist, Alice Beer, Linda Rich and Ronnie Steury served the court and the king and queen as crown bearer and junior attendants. And mentioning some of those names should not take away from the honor the. annual staff and their helpers deserve for making the coronation a success. So it’s thanks to those who set the scenes, and congratulations to those honored at the Cen-Trails - A.C.H.S.“Who’s Who" night. To cap off Saturday evening’s happenings, there’s a basketball resume needed. A scrappy Greyhound squad bowed to a strong Berne Bear team, 56-51, after clinging to a close score until the last few minutes of the fourth period. The hfcht before — mention this word overtime to a Greyhound

fan and get a decided reaction — another overtirfie saw the Scarlet and Grey edged by the Chester Center Indiana, 67-63. Tomorrow the Greyhounds take to the awaygame road to meet Ossian, and there are many good luck wishes going witlf the squad. Come out on top! ’ — A.C.H.S.— Those two big weekend games saw the seconds triumph over Chester Center 39-35, and then eked out 36-35 by the Berne Bears’ "B’s” Saturday evening. Their record stands at five wins and four losses as they go into a tussle with Ossian’s Bearcat seconds tomorrow. It’s another good luck for the seconds, too, as they seek to make that left column even more stronger than the right one, just for the records! —A.C.H.S.— Frosh-junior high double-header battles found both squad victorious over Portland just a week ago this evening, as the frosh came out 35-33, to bring their season record to three wins and two losses. The junior high conquered their opponents 46-19 in the preliminary battle of this series. Tonight the two squads will entertain Geneva's junior Cardinals. Here's hoping the “C’s” and the Greypups bring home a pre-vacation gain for the “wins” column! —A.C.H.S.— While thinking of basketball, let’s look into the intramurals scene. The “figure eights led the girl’s roster before noon today, with two wins and no losses. With Carol Heller serving as captain, the following girls make up the "B’s” team; Jeanne Smith, Jane

Uhrlck, Dixie Smith, Flbssie Schwartz, Janis Yoder, Evelyn Griffiths, Sandra Collins, and Mabel Steffen. The “Bulldozers," also undefeated rank second with one victory, while the "Whippets” come in third, with a balanced record reading one-and-one. —A.C.JI.S.— Boys’ basketball intramurals have seen a switch in league leaders, for the Clodhoppers, who hold a 5-1 slate, as of early this week, have surged ahead of the Chowhounds. Coached by Gary McMillen, the Clodhoppers are Muri Yoder, Anthony Sharp, Dick Steiner, Leslie Ploughe, Keith Griffiths, Philip Barger, and Larry Habegger. —A.C.H.S.— Coming back to Christmas now — caroling in Latin isn’t confined to the two melodies the ten pupils win sing tomorrow morning. Ask for a Latin arrangement of “White Christmas,” and they’ll be able to oblige. In another exercise in using Latin, the class exchanged names for Latin Christmas cards. The composers? The pupils, themselves, of course! —A.C.H.S.— Decorations underneath compete with decorations on the home ec department’s table-top Christmas tree. A special cookies display, reigned over by a “three dimensions” Santa and sleigh complete with reindeer and a toy sack, all made of cookies and colored precisely to make them look "for real.” Other figures, from animals to a cook with a polka-dot-ted apron to Christmas figures and symbols round out the array of cookie magic.
