Last Friday the Jackets played the deciding game for*N.E.I.C. standings against the Garrett Railroaders. It was a nerve-rack-ing game, to say the least, as the Railroaders played a stall game. Early in the first quarter the Yellow Jacket went aread and at the end of the first quarter the score stood at 12-8 with Decatur in the lead. Garrett stalled the second quarter and at the half the score was 16 all. In the third period the Garrett team went ahead and sayed there for the duration of the game. The score was 24-23 at the third quarter and after more stalling Garrett wrapped up the game, and the final score was 38-34, with Garrett team winning the conference.. —A.H.S.— Decatur’s second team also went down to defeat against Garrett. After an exciting last quarter during which the score was tied several times, the final sounded with Garrett winning by one point, 36-35. —D.H.S.— The students jn senior English

class are now busy reading a prejudice book and a classic. After they have been read, a report is to be made on the purpose for writing the book and the philosophy of the author.' —D.H.S.— After losing to Garrett last Friday the Jackets are tied tor second place in the N.E.I.C. Garrett is in first place and Decatur and Concordia of Ft, Wayne are tied for second. Nice going Jackets! -D.H.S.— The junior-senior choir is now busy preparing for a pop concert and also for a music festival which are being held next spring. The Berne and Bluffton choirs and orchestras will also participate in the festival. There is much music to be learned and everybody is hard at work. —D.H.S.— This is the last week that orders will be taken for Ravelings. If you are planning on getting one next spring, be sure to get your order in now! —D.H.S— The last chariot race for the second year Latin students has now been completed. It was a close contest in both sections and all waited anxiously for the final winners. In section one, Gary Robinson’s chariot won and his team consisted of Ann Krocher, Judy Rhodes, Mike Berry, and Sharon Sheets. Out of the section two class, Karen Corey's team won. Those pulling her chariot were Gayle Custer, Steve Edwards, Jane Bedwell, and Susan Gerber. It is interesting to notice that both winning chariots had colors of blue and white. , —D.H.S.— Also awards were made to those Latin II students who had perfect vocabulary papers throughout the race. Small gold pins were presented to Ann Kocher, Connie Baxter, Eva Mae Plumley, and Phyllis Schmidt. Betty Smith and Kathy Schultz earned smalLguards to add to the pins which they have won previously. —A.H.S.— Paul Schmidt won the county division of the Legion oratorical contest. There was one other entrant from Adams county. Ron Bittner, of Monmouth high school, received second place and was named as alternate. The next step is the district, where Paul will complete with students from Allen, DeKalb, Wells, and Whitley counties. Good luck to you, Paul, and may you win the district contest. —D.H.S.— SECTIONAL ! ! One week from today, the final rush of basketball will be here. All the teams and schools are becoming tense and excited until that time when the sectional champ will be named. - A.H.S.— If you have something to sell or rooms for rent, try a Democrat Want Ad, it brings results.

freshmen and the juniors won over the seniors. The sophomores were victorious over the juniors, and the seniors beat the freshmen. All of the girls who {day volleyball agree that it is tots of fun to get their weekly exercise. The girls’ games usually attract more students to the gym than the boys* games, with the boys cheering for the girls of their respective classes. —M.H.S.— A look into the junior high girls’ phys. ed. reveals that those girls are still working on that highland fling. • There are nine intricate steps to this dance and the girls have mastered eight. They hope soon to have the ninth one learned for, they have hinted that sometime this spring everyone from Monmouth may have a chance to see them display their skill. As a further indication of this the -girls are making costumes complete with Scottish kilts. A great amount of endurance is required to learn the “Highland Fling,” so the junior high girls can feel that they have really earned their phys. ed. credit. —M.H.S.— Last Friday night the Eagles met the Harlan Hawks at the Leo gym. Harlan was victorious in the varsity and second team games. This Friday MHS will meet Montpelier. This is Monmouth's last game of the season. It would be wonderful if everyone would turn out to see the Eagles play. The team would be encouraged to see fans supporting them and would play better ball. Come on, tea th! Win this last game for MHS! ! LET’S GO ! ! ! —M.H.S— The PTA was entertained by some band members at its recent meeting. Those band members who played their contest solos were Jim Christie, cornet solo; Kent Girod, baritone solo; and Graee Fuhrman, clarinet solo. The music was well received by the members of the PTA. (Just as a reminder to you parents: some very interesting slides about a trip to Europe were shown. Be sure to be present at the next PTA, for there will be another interesting program.) -M.H.S— Valentine parties and decorations made last Thursday a festive occasion for the first six graders. The sixth grade room featured a valentine tree. A large red heart bearing the namd of each student and the teacher was fastened to the tree. Smaller green and red hearts with black and white arrows were also fastened to the tree branches. An extra large heart made of the Monmouth school colors of black and gold topped the peak so the tree. Also in room 15, Richard Goldner was declared the checker champion for this room. He received a book as a prize for this achievement. —M.H.S—---“Be careful not to get your L Wk »* * ’ >.v. -' ■ * I VIS I® X -' ” " ,v , ■■ - A PILOT'S SEAT that “flies like an airplane** is shown undergoing full-scale model evaluation at the U.S. Air R' arch and Development Cor ind’s test site at Hurricane Mesa, Utah. The revolutionary new Lockheed ejection system is actually a parachute, equipped with wings and tail fins for aerodynamic stability. The built-in ’chute Opens automatically at a predetermined altitude and speed. Its objective is to insure safe escape from aircraft traveling at more than 1,500 miles an hour.

wires crossed!** This warning is cerehiUy heeded by the physics ; students, lor they are still studyk tag electricity. There are many experiments which deal with this , subject. In order to perform these experiments there must be avail- , able batteries, volt meters, ammeters. and other equipment. Since there is only enough of this equipment tor one group of students to experiment at a tine, the students take turns. One day , last week when one group tried to perform experiments, -they dis covered that the batteries would not work. They had been “crossed up” (rather their wires had been) by the preceding group. The mystery was soon salved, however, , and the experiment was performed. -M.H.S— The girls have been playing on Wednesday noons lately, but the the boys* intramural have been going on all winter. These boys play on basketball teams which were formed at the beginning of the season. This activity provides boys who do not play on the varsity or second teams a chance to participate in a sport. Watch next week’s column for a full report on the intramurals. -M.H.S— On Monday afternoon the senior speech students and all of the juniors who plan to take speech next year, went to Decatur for the American Legion speech contest. The participants were Ron Bittner from Monmouth and Paul Schmidt from Decatur high. Paul Schmidt was judged the winner and Ron was runner-up. Both speeches were very good and the judges had a real chore in deciding who was the winner. You did a fine job, Ron MHS is proud of you! —M.H.S.— -♦-•••• News from the “Eaglettes” and “C” teams. Last week the junior high team, or the Eaglettes, were beaten by Pleasant Mills. Reports are that the Monmouth boys led early in this game, but Pleasant Milts made a “come back” to win by quite a margin. The “C” team, which is composed of freshmen and sophomores, was victorious over Adams Central. Nice going, C team. ——-—-—v; Many of the high school students take an interest in these teams, and with good reason.
