Everyone hefe will be “rootin,” tor you in spirit; so bring back superior ratings in all entries. —P.M.H.S — — Pep club members are purchasing new head gear, to be worn at the sectional, that is coming soon. This way the Pleasant Mills’ cheering section can be spotted easily when they go to root tor their up-and-coming favorite basketball team. The Spartans are improving and will turn some tides during the next few weeks. —P.M.H.S.— The Pleasant Mills P.T.A. will hold their monthly meeting here Monday, February 25 at 7:30 p.m. Everyone is welcome and urged to attend. —P.M.H.S.— For the past few days, the juniors have been making a self analysis chart to determine their own weaknesses. They will then try to improve themselves like their dear friend Benjamin Franklin, about whom they fire studying in literature. Wouldn’t it be nice if all would give themselves an analysis and 'give their neighbors and friends a break. —P.M.H.S.— While many people will be doing nothing Friday, Mr. Monroe will have his history students know who will be resigning from office and who the other cabinet members are. —P.M.H.S.— .

near future the varsity team will be a strong winning team. ’- P.MH.S.Since the basketball season is nearly over, ping pong tables have been set, up in the gym.

Be

ticket sates schedule as announced last week. This Friday the sales will begin tor season ticket holder, beginning at 8:30. From then on until 11:30, student season ticket holders may buy their session tickets. Beginning at 11:30, and ending at 3:00 instead of 3:30, tickets will be available to adult season ticket holders. This schedule will be followed on Monday, so that season ticket holders will have two days to purchase their tickets. For adult season ticket holders who will not be able to be at school during office hours, the office suggests that they contact some pupil who win be able to buy it for them. One other tip to ticket holders: so will be faster, it’s a good idea to be able to tell the number of the ticket. With fans keeping these points in mind, ticket sates will come off smoothly. —A.C.H.S.— Victory tor the Greyhounds. Friday night the Scarlet and Grey tagged a firm hold onto the win path by romping over Petroleum, 88-63. In this second last tilt of the regular schedule, the seven players all broke into the win column, six in double tallies: Gary McMillen scored 18; Wayne Byerly, 16; Jim Steiner, 13; Ron Corson, 12; Mark Ripley, 11; Barger, 10; and Dave Smith, 8. Next on the battle roster for the Greyhounds are Bluffton's Tigers, Friday, to crown the ’56 '57 basketball schedule. —A.C.H.S.— Scarlet and Grey seconds backed up the varsity with a win in the preliminary bout by overcoming their panther foes 62 to 36. As the seconds go to battle against the Tiger “B's” day after tomorrow they’ll be trying for a season’s end record of 12 wms, with but 6 losses. Central's sending out the "Good Luck!” yell for all the Greyhound teams going down the home stretch of the season. Best wishes for a bit o' luck to wrap it up nice! —A.C.H.S.— Close to the windup of their season too, the Central frosh have tacked up two more victories by defeating both Bluffton’s frosh and Ossian’s “C’s”. Tuesday, February 12, when the Greyhounds traveled to Ossian, they returned with a 45-28 triumph. Entertaining Bluffton the previous week, the frosh copped the battle, 43-36. Next game for John Fruth and his squad will be with the Cardinals of Geneva at Geneva, February 21. —A.C.H.S.- —" With the boys’ basketball playoffs past, intramural activity centers about girls’ basketball and plans for the spring schedule. A stepped-up series of games .found the “Bulldozers”, and "Rip Roaring Nine”, the “Whippets” and “Zingy Wings” battling during noon hour, with the “Zingy Wings” and the “Bulldozers” coming out out on top. Standings now rate the “Zingy Wings” first with a 5-1 record. Teammates, captained by Marjorie Nussbaum, are Gretchen Sehnepp, Arlene Freels, Bet ty Steury, Judy Worthman, Karen Stultz, and Carol Hamilton. -A.C.H.S.—- ' Spotlighted in a few weeks for boys intramural will be the twobracket volleyball series.

—A.C.H.S.— Spring sports slate more com» petition for both boys and girls in ping-pong tourneys will be played on the sidelines as the gym floor is made into a volleyball court, so the intramural program will be playing several features at once this spring, as usual. Both boys and girls badminton doubles will make up the types of intramural recreation at Central this spring. » —’A.C H S. “Boost those Greyhound*!'’ is the slogan this week as the Greyhound Gazette takes last minute orders and draws up the boosters' boxes for the sectional tourney issue. Because of the response for booster space from faculty, pupils, and clubs, the issue will probably be expanded to eight pages, with the boosters’ wishes sprinlded all over instead of put together into one section. The enthusiasm and wonderful backing the sectional souvenir issue has received has made the Gazette staff determined to repay Central with a real "ex-tra-special issue. —A.C.H.S.— There was an extra stir about the newsroom Friday and Mdnday. The 24th issue of the paper bad been published and things quited down somewhat as they will — and as much they will in a newspaper office. However, an im-portant-looking envelope had arrived from the IHSPA, with new membership credentials, stencil emblems, and press cards for the staff. Sixteen of the staff members received the special IHSPA press cards; Alice Beer, Doris Couble, Barbara Fiechter, Jim

To cap off the home game marching record, the Central senior band will march at halftime Friday evening. And, not to make weather predicitions, or such, there’s hopes tor a good snappy evening for the final basketball game. — That means for the coat check workers and concessioneers! There are three reasons for the wishes: there will be more wraps to check; sharper air gives a lift to appetites for ice cream and popcorn, resulting in a yen for cold drinks; and. too, so the temperature in the gym won’t get too hot — just enough to give the team one more reason to play » “real cool” game. When the fans are with them all the Way and when there’s enough opposition to ruffle up the competitive spirit, there’s the makings of the kind of game that’s good -Hope to see you there Friday evening! —A.C.H.S.Sounds of the practice range again invaded the industrial arts room Friday, as the second half of the rifle club members took their turn at target practice with three borrowed firearms. Six guns ar* too arrive from the NRA, through the army, and then the sharpshoot ers will begin target competition. Shoulder patches and pins will be awarded to the best marksmen.

. following the three competition rounds that will come when the , rifles arrive. Through the spring target practices season’ the boys will shoot one round each from the prone, sitting, and standing positions. —A.C.H.S.--Seems as if spring is in the air more than one place this week, though it’s still -February. Math ■ clubbers met to make final prepart ation before they dive into their , projects for open house, and also to arrange for their booster ad in I the sectional Gazette.

Visitors to the math t room, 305, will be able to see ■ goemetrica! drawings, including > constructions of the “Rose Wini dow” of Notre Dame and papers » on math, with one about Einstein’s : theory of relativity-and also a skit i about math. —A.C.H.Si While Valentine day found the I grades enjoying parties, the high > school celebrated St. Valentine’s , in a social manner as the sophbt more home ec class, directed by ; Mrs. Pete Ellis, gave a Valentine tea in the home ec room. From 1:30 to 3:00 the sophomores feted ; the Central faculty of grades one i through twelve, the Rekamemoh 1 CluK and the senior class.
