The Hartford, Gorillas contin-l ued their rocket-1 like climb and downed the Commodores in the! second game of< the sectional; Thursday night at the Adams Central gym. The game was

harder fought than the score would indicate but again the Commodores just couldn’t make their baskets, plus tough luck for Tom Meyer, who* fractured his left arm. The Hartford Gorillas continued their winning ways and on Saturday beat Adams Central and Berne for the sectional -title. Good Luck Hartford as the regional. The Commodores will be pulling for you to beat South Side! —D.C.H.S.— It was aloha or farwell to four seniors, who played their final basketball game to DCHS — Ron Meyer, Ron Eord, Dave Heimann, and Steve Litchfield. They will be missed by all DCHS as well as the Commodore fans, who will long remember their competitive spirit in one of the best seasons DCHS has enjoyed in basketball. —D.C.H.S.— Nancy Mies, Elizabeth Miller, Leonida Mies, Carolyn Heimann, and Kathleen Kohne, cheerleaders, cheered for their last time Thursday against Hartford. These girls have done a nice job this season and Nancy Mies and Elizabeth Miller, seniors, will long be remembered by all. They had a good season and cheered the boys through many a game to victory. —D.C.H.S.— Monday, March 11, is the date of the K. of C. oratorical contest.

Honorable mention was given Nancy Mies, Elizabeth Miller, and Ann LaFontaine. Awards in these events were presented at the American Legion meeting. —D.C.H.S.— “We, the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, etc.” The senior civics class is now studying the preamble to the constitution. They are learning and discussing the preamble, the articles and amendments to the constitution — the foundation for the wonderful American way of life. —D.C.H.S.— Something new was begun this Shrove Tuesday. A luncheon was prepared by the freshmen and 1 served to the teaching faculty at DCHS. Perhaps, in away, it is not too surprising that this was done, for this,group of twenty girls know how to set tables, serve food and be gracious hostesses. - D.C.H.S.— The second year Latin students have started a Latin club.

Practice has begun and by the looks of things, should be very enjoyable to all. —D.C.H.S— This is test week so come on students let’s get those marks up. D. C. H. S. wants more on the honor roll. How about it boys! D.C.H.S. was privileged to have two visitors at school on Tuesday.

During the first overtime, the Jackets had a 4-point lead, but they just couldn’t seem to keep it as Bears caught up and the score was tiefi at 42-all. In the sudden death overtime, Decatur got the ball first, but failed to hit on any of the shots. Berne retrieved the ball and got the magic two points which won the game for them and entitled them to go on and play Hartford in the ■ final game. • —D.H.S— Last Friday, D.H.S. was buzzing with activity as the students prepared for the sem-final.
