The money goes to a great cause. Join the hundreds of good Decatur citizens, who already have made their gifts. o o Response to the Greater Decatur committee’s letter to individuals, soliciting funds for the purchase of an industrial site here, has been encouraging, according to those in charge of the drive.

erous condition of snow and ice laden highways. Motorists are becoming more safety minded and while a death is a costly price to pay to remind us to drive with extreme caution, the fatal tragedy should be a safety lesson for all of us. We sincerely regret the accident but we also sincerely hope that from it we shall sill follow to a letter the safe-driving code. The death is number two in Adams county and we hope number three will not occur the balance of the year. Law enforcement officers are doing an excellent job in their effort to make the highways safe. Let's cooperate! o o A resolution is presently before the Indiana General Assembly, which calls for a referendum on the "open shop.” Democrats are bitterly opposed to the measure and want an immediate law upholding the right of a Union to determine if and when a man shall work. The referendum appears to be the democratic way to decide the issue, which would place the responsibility on the people. However, the move is a direct slap at Union principal and if it were adopted it would be a serious blow to Unions in Indiana. Unions have done a lot toward improving working conditions and increasing workmen's wages. We don’t believe the people want to see all of these improvements go down the drain. ——o o——We congratulate Kenneth Hirschy, veteran member of the Decatur Plan Commission, on his re-election as head of that important board. Mr. Hirschy was an original appointee of former Mayor John Stults and he has served with honor and distinction under three Mayors. Taking an important part in the forming of Decatur’s zoning ordinance, Mr. Hirschy has always favored orderly growth of our city as plan Commission Chairjhan, the Decatur man always has advocated those things in residential construction, park and school planning and building in general which point toward making "Decatur a better place in which to live. He has done a splendid job and his co-workers have honored him again with the Commission Chairmanship.

"They're hare!. They’re here at last!” were the shouts , v which echoed from the lips of the band students as they] heard the good] news. The band! uniforms arrived late Thursday afternoon, sooner'

than had been expected. Many excited students crowded into the band room Wednesday morning, but only the band members were allowed to inspect the new uniforms. -M.H.S.— On Thursday evening the band members and the uniform committee from the band parents’ organization met at the school. Object: to try on the new uniforms. Each member was present and excitedly received his uniform and tried it on. All of the suits fit and the members of the band had a wonderful time inspecting each member in his new uniform. If you had been there, you would have agreed that yon have never seen a happier group of teenagers. - ■ ' —M.H.S.— Who are really the ones who made it possible for these kids to be so happy? All of those who fund are responsible for the band fund are responsible for the ban’s having the new uniforms. Did you attend the game Wednesday night and see the band? If not, remember that there are two more home games this year so be sure to come and see the result of your donation. Monmouth now has a band which can march alongside other bands unashamed. —M.H.S.On Friday-during the fourth and fifth periods the band members again donned the new uniforms to have their pictures taken for the yearbook. There was quite a lot of excitement about this, for the other high schools students were not to be allowed to see the uniforms until Wednesday night. After the pictures were taken, the band members were permitted to take their uniforms home, provided they did not take them on the school bus. —M.H.S.— “Hey! No school!” was a shout heard in the homes of Monmouth students on Tuesday morning when the students heard Jay Gould make the longed-for announcement. The road were very slippery and (from what is heard) so were the snow hills. In fact, they were just right for many students* sleds. Ice skating is a favorite sport of many of the high school students, go the skaters also had a good time on Tuesday. - Last Friday night the Eagles met the Berne Bears at the Monmouth gym. As most of you know, the Bears won the varsity game, but the MHS second team won over the Berne seconds, who — -.....— : . 4 ALL-PURPOSE MIRACLE SPONGES I iTj B S| Jumbo 7% x4'/,xJ" Sink $y t x,3% x *%• A complete supply of all-pur-pose sponges for less than SI.OO.

Good Luck! —M.H.S.— Mr. Myer’s freshmen biology classes examined the parts of a cow’s eye recently. The eye was cut in half and given to the students. Each part was examined. Then the classes held discussions on the functioning ot each part. (By Winnie Mankey) —M.H.S.— “Electricity” has been the topic under discussion in the physics class lately. There are many interesting experiments to be performed with electricity, so it looks as if the physics class will be busy for the next few days. -M.H.S.Art instructor, Mrs. Vera Owens, has announced that Monmouth is happy to be a member of the newly organized Art Education Association of Adams County. At MHS the art students a|e encouraged to practice creativeness and originality in their work.

Those who saw. the second team] twirlers perform] Friday night] during the half-; time of the Bryant vs l Pleasant Mills basketball game., were a fine audignee for the ner-| vo u s girl s .1

Those twirlipg were Sandy Byer,* Sandy Brunner, and Mary Lee Longenberger from the seventh grade;' Bonnie Hart and Judy Myers from the fourth grade. The girls kept in step and kept their rank straight, too. All of the Spectators are awaiting another appearance. Certainly this Is a compliment to the young twirliers, —P.M.H.S.— Mr. Johns and his shop boys are always doing favors for someone. This time, reports Mrs. Michaels, they are responsible for the new bulletin board hanging in the first grade’s classroom. “Thank you’’ goes to them from the first and second grade pupils. —P.M.H.S.— John Deere Day last week found the “Halls of Ivy” almost forsaken. Those remaining in the junior class enjoyed their history teacher’s and Gary Shoafs exhibition of protecting themselves from gun and knife maniacs by means of “Judo”. If anyone wants to hear some exciting experiences, just ask Gary; he’ll tell them. Also, the few freshmen present were allowed to play “Battleship” in English. —P.M.H.S.— Mrs. Sutton, head of the English department, during her travels to some European countries last summer, took slide pictures of scenes interesting to her. Thursday the junior and senior high school, and Friday, the elementary grades were shown these pictures while Mrs. Sutton told about her experiences. Among the pictures, she happened to get some of her Latin I students of ’55-'56 which she had taken on a field trip. Her speech and pictures were most interesting. The opinion of some is that the students could sit through all of that again and never tire. -PJd.H.S — Mrs. Michael’s pupils are having a siege of colds. Those too Hl to be at school are Sheryl Raudenbush, Susie WiHiams. and Tom McGill. Robert Cook has returned just in time to help the rest of the boys out in the contest they lost on good behavior. Better luck next time, and ..all of you keep healthy and make-the contest a tie. —P.M.H.S.— ° At the St. Mary’s township Farmers Institute, Friday, Feb1. our school the first and second grades will enter Valentines as their project; the third and fourth grades. Washington posters, and the fifth and sixth grades, Lincoln posters. Work hard, boys and girls, and may be the best ones win. —P.M.H.S.— Friday, Jan. 25, found the junior and senior classes along with their sponsors and Mr. Black, the) bus driver, at the Decatur high school for tuberculosis X-rays. —P.M.H.S.Those who attended the P.T.A meeting Monday night heard a worthwhile talk by the Adams county probation officer, Chris

Muselman, and were entertained by the music department here. A vocal solo by Homer Gause, piano solo by Duane Sleple. the girls trio, and the girls quartet were enjoyed —F.M.H.S.— Janice Smith and Dick Johnson made the juniors very proud of them for winning high honors at the district music contest at Fort Wayne Saturday. Dick Johnson, along with the other members of the boys quartet, will go to Butler University, Feb. 23, to compete in the state music contest. Good luck fellows and keep colds away. —P.M.HK— A surprise birthday party was given for Barbara Hirschy Sarturday night. Her classmate and friends were there to wish her many happy returns. -P.M.H.S.— It was reported that the sophomores still have their jello campaign on. This must be good news to those who still haven’t stocked their shelves with this appetizing dessert. —P.M.H.S.— The Bryant team could have been penalized for illegal procedure at the game last Friday. Mr. Custard was hit by a flying tackle and downed on the 50-yard line. However, the stat principal here recovered quickly and the game continued. —P.M.H.S— " . ADAMS CENTRAL HIGH By. Barbara Fieebter

Tomorrow is D-Day! It’s been all| over Adam s| county, this Week, this drive for the Don Arnolds. The contributions will, make up a per-l sonal gift from! the Arnolds’!

home county to help along with the expenses of polio treatment for Elizabeth Arnold. The background and details have been published, so what the School Reporter wants to do is to urge everyone who hasn’t chipped in to send his contribution to "D-Days,” in care of Adams Central School, or to see a Central pupil, parent, or faculty member about it. Central is sponsoring D-Day because ■ Don Arnold is a patron, alumns, former faculty member, and good friend to A. C. The campaign belongs to all of Adams county, however, for certainly this Don Arnold’s home territory! It's something wonderful for all who contribute in the gift besides being something useful to the Arnolds. AD money will go directly to the Arnolds from Adams county. If . you haven’t, won't you help now to make D-Day a success? —A.C.H.S.— Six music department pupils were named superior medalists, and five Centralites received excellent ratings and corresponding meals last Saturday at Central high school in Fort Wayne, bandmaster Don Gerig has announced. Jim Hoffman, with a tenor solo, won’ superior, the highest rating possible, by earning the lowest point ratings, totalling eight points with a minimum or seven. Sonja Yoder, at the piano and the. Centralettes — Marcia and Irene Merriman and Chloe and Wanda Neuenschwander, singing "The Lord’s Prayer,” were also rated superior to receive their gold medals before a chorus audience last Monday. —A.C.H.S— Pupils rating "excellent” and receiving medals also were freshman Carol McKean, seventh grader Karlo Stavenik, and the senior girls’ trio, composed of Betty Steury, Carol Kaehr, and Cynitha Lehman. This competition, the piano-vo-cal section of the Northern Indiana school band, orchestra, and vocal association, completes half the ristrict NISBOVA contests. Next Saturday six instrumentalists from Central will take their turn at the Fort Wayne contests, this time at Harrison Hill junior high school. In the meantime, the superior medalists will be preparing for the state contests held in February at Butler Field House in Indianapolis. Congratulations go to all the medalists — and lots of practice plus a little bit o’ luck for the coming contests! —D.C.H.S— P. S. — Here comes a sidelight on the music picture. The Centralettes — Chloe, Wanda, Irene and Marcia, and accompanist Alice Beer, will appear this afternoon on WKJG-TV's Charlie Powell show. Turn that TV set on around 4:45 to see and hear them sing their melody! —A.C.H.S— Still more contests are near on the Central horizon. Look into the vocational agriculture department now to get an idea of the hustle for the district VI chapter contests at Urbana next Wednesday! In all, there will be nine contests on the various phases of chapter work, including the secretary’s and treasurer’s books, and essay and public speaking com-, petition. The special division, chapter meeting contest, had Martin Watson’s parHamentary team polishing up on "Robert’s Rules” and practicing, for perfection is neede to cop first as the Central team did two years ago to go on to the position in the state. The 13membered team demonstrated parliamentary procedure for the local Farm Bureau Co-Op last Monday, after practicing with the speech class that morning on the various rules. There’s less than a week left, FFA:. practice hard and Central’s wishing you, .too, lots of good luck! - A.C.H.S. — Time comes to bring Central's

basketball up to date prior to deadline, again. . . It's been ttwaa to a row for the Greyhound varsjty as "First quarter tnuas’ play havoc with the varsity," acceding to the Greyhound Gazaette sports page. In the past weeks the Greytanads have bowed to the Bryant Owls, the Decatur Catholic Commodores, and tourney runnerups, the Hartford Gorillas. Next on the schedule, the squad takes the road to Pennville tomorrow night Central's with you, fellows, to creak that streak right in two tomorrow night - Good Luck! —A.C.HJL— Preliminary play with the Hartford Gorilla seconds found the "B's” triumph, to the tune 43 to 33. But for now, it’s the best of luck to those seconds for adding another counter to the W-I-N column. ... —A.C.H.S— Junior high basketball finds on the Decatur Catholic CommodDouglas LeMaster’s squad taking on the Decatur Catholic Commodores tonight in the Central season’s tenth battle. Just a week ago today the Greypups boosted their record to seven wins and two looses by trouncing the Lancaster junior high. 52-38. Three games remain on the schedule for the Greypups, county tourney looming in March along with the varsity sectional, to cap off the basketball season for ’56-’57. Congratulations, junior high, and pour it on tonight! .. —A.C.H.S.— “Pep" is a mighty big word ‘round about basketball time. What is it? It’s something that pells fans out of those “blues” after the loss of a game and reminds than that, no matter the score, their team did its best: and that every good fan is always rooting for their team, as hard as ever.. It's something the cheer bloc’s Scarlet and White have provided with noise and yells at all the ball games — and especially well in the last several. It’s something that keeps a pupil loyal to his school and team after the game, too. The cheerleaders and bloc deserve a special pat on the back for the spirit and color they display for the ball games. However, it's up to the fans and pupils to show “pep” -9 their own individual kind — afterwards. The sportsmanship has been okay. Central. Let's keep it that way! —A.C.H.S— Intra-schools basketball for the guys and girls is going strong again, and Marjorie Nussbaum’s Zingy Wings have zinged off to lead the girls’ standings. In the Thursday playoffs, the Figure Eights, captured by Carol Heller, follow, with boasting such formidable names as the Bulldozers, the Whippets, and the Rip Roarin’ Nine make the field. —A.C.H.S— Jim Steiner’s “Chowhounds” have surged to toe top of toe boys’ intramurals standing, with pine wins and two losses as of January 28. Close behind come Dave Smith’s “Slippery Six," with an eight-three slate. “Chowhounds" (a compliment to the hearty cafeteria meals, no doubt, which the players rush for after doing battle* teammates are Winston Lister, Richard Hirschy, Terry Wittee, Sidney Schwartz, Tom Ripley, Philip Mcßride, and David Bonck. —A.C.H.S— Two girls —a senior and a junor, received special recognition at Central recently. Cynthia Lehman topped the senior home economics class in the Betty Crocker test last December. Named Adams Central Homemaker of Tomorrow, Cynthia received a gold pin by Trifari, and her paper will go on to the state competition in the search for the state and national Betty Crocker Homemakers ot Tomorrow. —A.C.H.S— Jane Grimm, a junior, has been chosen to represent Central at Indiana University’s “Hoosier Girls’ State” next summer from June 22 to June 30. Chloe Ellen Neuenschwander was names Jane’s alternate by the faculty committee. The requirements — an interest in government, honesty, good character, and high scholarship — are hints to what the Central delegate will experience in her stay at IU. Besides the “extras” of getting a taste of college and dorm Use, she will learn first-hand how local and state government operates by participating in a minature government-on-campus. Central's congratulations to both of you! —A.C.H.S—DECATUR CATHOLIC By Marjorie Kehne

D.C.H.S.— Semester exams are a thing of the past. The retreat is also a past event. However, both of these do leave an imprint. Both should serve as an impetus to renewed effort for good work during the coming semester. —D.C.H.S.— Tomorrow is the opening of Catholic press month and all students, in their English classes, will be making a study of Catholic publiciations. It is not enough that these publications are in existence, but they should be in the homes and Should be read by all members of the home. ; ; . —D.C.H.S.One cannot go far at DCHS without coming upon earnest salesmen who have Valentines to dispose of.
