SCHOOL REPORTER an additional study period and are the envy of other seniors wtxo are npt so fortunate. —D.C.H.S.The next issue of THE SPOTLIGHT is now being prepared and students are looking forward to Seeing the first issue of the new semester. —D.C.H.S.— The junior bake sale was very satisfactory. The only complaint is that things were sold out too soon and late customers were disappointed when they came along and found nothing on hand. By the way, junior salesmen,-assigned to the last shift were also out of • job. Guess they'll have to take the first shift next time. -D.C.H.S.— The juniors are also sponsoring the breakfast tomorrow morning. ’ Efficient service is promised from these experienced workers. —D.C.H.S.— „ ' Oh; but for that one extra basket or some little sharper foul shooting the Commodores might well have had a higher percentage in the win column. Most of the Commodore losses have been by „ narrow margins. Thus was the case at Clear Creek Saturday night when Al Lindahl’s hustling Commodores lost by a margin of one basket. The team bounded back after Clear Creek established a' commanding lead in the first quarter and out-fought and outshot the Clear Creek five in the remaining quarters, only to lose by a score of S 3 to 52. -D.C.H.S.— The second team looked extremely well in their game at Clear Creek, winning by a margin of 15 points. They played a good floor game but their basket shooting could be improved in their spare time. —D.C.H.S.— The Commodores and second’s next game will be played at Decatur with the Geneva Cardinals. \ So come on teams, B-E-A-T- Cardinals. The junior high team was victorious this week beating St. Louis at Besancon by a score, 36-34, in the CYO league. The Pirates played very well throughout the entire game and should be congratulated on their fine playing this season. —D.C.H.S.— DECATUR HIGH By Sara Brunnegraff

Heading tile list again this week i s basketball. Last Friday D. H. S. played Kendallville in an NEIC conference tilt. The Jackets showed a great deal of spark. and drive and went ahead

in the first quarter to lead for the entire game. At the end of the first quarter the score stood at Decatur 18 and the Kendallville boys 10. By the end of the first half the lead was increased by two points. The Jackets had 38 points and the Comets were trailing with 28 points. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, D.H.S. was leading 56-44 and the final score was 69 points for the Jackets and 54 for the Comets. —D.H.S.— Gene Baxter was high point •man for D.H.S. with a total of 22 points. Tony Kelly was next with 19. Bob Banks also hit double figures with five field goals and two free throws for a total of 12 points. Larry Moses gained nine points for D.H.S. and John Dorwin tallied two. Bob Shraluke hit five to make the total of 69 points. Stan Kirkpatrick, a regular firstfive man was dressed for action but wasn’t put in the game because of an injury received in the Auburn game. Shraluka, an up and coming sophomore, did a fine job in his place. —D.H.S.— The second team just couldn’t seem to make it another victory last Friday. The quarter scores were: first — Decatur 2, Kendallville 8; half — Decatur 9, Kendallville 16; third — Decatur 18, Kendallville 28 and the final score was 40 to 32 to favor of the Comets. ® —D.H.S.— All of the students of D.H.S. are — certainly glad to see Susie Gerber back at school part time. She is now well enough to attend her third period class. In addition to this, Susie is taking two classes by "inter-com”. —D.H.S.— ‘‘Did you see your name in the Jacket Journal?” “Well, it was there.” “You’d better read it and find out all the happenings of D.H.S.” These are just some of the comments that can be heard by members of the student body when the Jacket Journal is distributed. Last Friday the January issue was handed out. Marilyn Jeff.eries edited this issue and plans are now being made for the fwruary edition which is being edited by Ellen Welch. L —D.H.S.-

From the way things sound, Friday, Jan. 25, was extremely busy for everybody at D.H.S. Friday morning the seniors and juniors were X-rayed tor T.B. Everyone is hoping that his picture is clear. —D.H.S.— After the game Friday, the DClub. sponsored a dance at the Community Center. It was well attended and considered a huge success. Thanks D-Club! ! . —D.H.S.— Congrats second team ! !‘! The junior Jackets brought home a beautiful trophy from Huntington last Saturday after winning the second team invitational tourney. The teams participating in that besides Decatur were Concordia and North Side of Fort Wayne and The host team, Huntington. -D.H.S.— Concordia was beaten by the Decatur quintet Saturday morning in the first round. North Side defeated Huntington to play the Jackets in the final game in the afternoon. The score of the first Decatur game was 36-30. The secorid game against North Side was 58-41. In the consolation game, the score was 47-37 with Huntington coming out on top of Concordia. Nice going Jackets! ! ! —D.H.S.— Be sure to keep your receipt for your class dues as that will entitle vou to attend the annual class parties at the end of the year. The dues are now being collected by the class treasurers, who are Tony Kelly, Steve Edwards, Jack Dailey, and Clarence May, Jr. Be sure to get yours paid early. —D.H.S.— The book reports on novels and bipgraphies are due tomorrow for the juniors and then the term capers start. These are a dual assignment from Deane Dorwin and Catherine Weidler, who are United States history and third year English respectively. The topics must be concerned with some phase of U. S. history . Have fun juniors, although it isn’t really too bad. —D.H.S.— For sale: chicken feed, coffins, tombstones, fertilizer, “gee-tars” and practically anything else that your heart does and does not desire. This is really just a project of the business English class. Each member of that class must sell a special item sometime during this semester in a ’ practice session before the class. This is very helpful to those going into the business world and it is also advantageous to those who are not. All in all, it has proved so far to be an interesting task. - —D.H.S.— The D.H.S. F.F.A. basketball team added another victory to its record recently when they defeated Convoy by a close three point margin. The final .score was 67 points for the F.F.A. team and- 64 for Convoy. —D.H.S.— Attention seniors! .Only two full six weeks periods left'untii you -are out of high school. That means that those who are going on to college must get their applicaions in soon. It seems hard to believe that it is almost over. Several are going to attend .Indiana colleges and universities while others are going to be attending out of state schools. —D.H.S.— The sophomore Latin classes are busy planning for their banquet which is being held for the second time this year. The theme for this year's dinner is "Neptune's Undersea Palace” and it will be held March 11. The committees are all busy with the plans, for this affair. -D.H.S.—.. Chariot qumber four is in the lead, now it’s six, no, now it is two! The final race is on for the second year Latin students. In both the aftrenoon and morning classes the running is very close. The morning Latin class is having an exciting race with Karen Corey's chariot in the lead. She is followed closely by Linda Jackson and her team and not far behind her is Jim Burk’s chariot. The afternoon class is just as close with Bob Shraluka’s team in the lead. Next is John Paul McAhren's, then Lynn Smith’s. In fourth place is Gary Robinson's. Following number four chariot is that of Pat Franklin. Last but not least comes Bill Jacob’s. These drivers and their teams are working for honor certificates, pins, and guards. This is their last chance, so good luck to all of you. —D.H.S.— Peck, peck, peck, peck, ping! The sounds of typing can be heard in the second floor hall of D.H.S. The typing students of Maynard Hetrick are busy trying for awards. To win one of these awards, the typing must be done at a certain rate of speed with an allowance of not more tthan ten errors for a thirty-five words per minute certificate. Then comes the forty word pin, the fifty word pin, and so forth. Each week several students are winning their certificates and pins apd go on to try for higher honors. .. . ’ - - —D.H.S.— Beware! you are being watched and listened to. The annual edition of the Gabfest is being readied for future publication. The sen-

. fsji h...

iors have been directed to get their wills in and all the other classes are busy thinking what sayings and doings should go into the Gabfest. Karen Allison, president of the Commerical Club, is editing and directing the work of this year’s issue. —D.H.S.— , Hurray. Hurray! ! “We’re the mighty Yellow Jackets, no one could be prouder.” That is just exactly how the students of D.H.S. felt after Tuesday evening's game
