First of the sign-up sheets, on. the bulletin board in

the high school, was filled by yesterday noon with names of 62 boys wanting to participate in the singles’ tourney. This week being a regular "signup" weak for ping pong, saw enrollment for girls’ and doubles playoffs also. With the rosters completed this Week, Monday trill see these phases of intramurals begin alongside the volleyball nets. ) County volleyball play found two teams representing Central, the girls and boys at Berne. Let’s look over those results: -A. C. H. B.— The fifteen-membered girl’s volleyball squad was defeated by Monmouth Monday evening, two games out of three, after putting up a terrific fight! Teammates, chosen last week, and coached by Mtes Madge Cornett, are: seniors Marjorie Nussbaum, Sonja Yoder, Gretchen Schnepp, Mary Lou Ehrsam, and Arlene Freels; juniors Pat Liechty and Suzanne Edwards; sophomores Brenda Sommer, Phyllis' Biebertsein, and, Arlene Zimmerman, and freshmen Dixie Smith, Jeanne Smith, Carol' McKean, and Marcia Zimmerman. -A.C.H.S.— Big moments are approaching for the sophomores and frosh, as the sophomores’ stationery salesend. Next Monday the sophs will oyier their class rings, to be delivered next fall. Both groups’ semi-annual class parties are slated soon. The frosh get-together slated for April 11, and, the following night, the tenth graders’ class party. -A.C.H.S.— ' With itineraries distributed, name cards traded, memory books filled out, and now the arrival of graduation invitations, the senors* Class activity speeds up toward some big moments of “Senior year.” »Baccalaureate and commencement are not far off, and then; When one hears talk of "what luggage?” or “how many clothes?” or pleas of “please take good walking shoes!” one can tell that the senior trip is being planned. Preparations will become more intense as the big trip to Washington, D. C., nears. The dates: May 5 to 9. —A.C.H.S.— Tomorrow the fifth grading period will end, and Central will go into the home stretch of another school year. But before counting the weeks, Centralites, how about taking a closer look at the grade cards? The sixth set of grades is the final chance to better one’s record. That extra effort, a spirit toward the finish line, can mean the difference between a race well run or one lost —for a good finishing touch to those permanent records. -A.C.H.S.— Comments such as “Os course Tm going! I’ve heard so much about it I have to see what will happen!” are a result of the un-der-that-hat approach to “Reserve Two For Murder!” Nothing to do now but wait and see — the juniors’ class play tomorrow evening, April 5, at the Central gym! —A.C.H.S,— DECATUR CATHOLIC HIGH By Marjorie Kohne

The senior, class play is now just a mem-4 ory but a mem-j ary that will stay] a long time.] Who win forget "Handy” by Ron Ford, his charming mother played by Rosalie Wilder,

and Mitzi, the little girls wnn lots of ideas, by Janice Titus? Then ■ how could any senior forget the long and tedious hours of practice, all the scoldings, and finally the cleaning up and clearing away the day following the production? —D.C.H.S.— The senors of DCHS wish to thank all those who helped make their play a success; Holthouse Furniture Company. Kohne Drug Store, and the band; but most of all their directors, Sr. Urban and Sr. Aquin. To these, the seniors say “Thanks.” —D.C.H.S.— Is Coach Lindahl checking on the teachers that they be in their proper places at the proper time? Best guess is, “No,” but he did get excited when he saw the home ec teacher headed for a study period on the third floor when she had a clothing class scheduled for that time. What happened? Sister was just one hour ahead of time. —D.C.H.S.— Attention all mothers! The- juniors are sponsoring a. bake sale. The time? Saturday, April 6, from 9 to 2. Where? At the Western Auto Store. So, mothers, save yourself some work. Buy those delicious and tasty goodies at the bake sale. . —D.C.H.S.— < Hark! Music is in the air! Yes, you are right; there was music. Music coming from the junior class room. Could the juniors be having a record session during the noon hour? On further investigation, it was learned that these records have some connection with the prom. But, of course, they would tell no more. —D.C.H.S.— What next shall «DCHST see? Where? In the corner of the library, near a dight, sat an enthusiastic seamstress sewing at a new skirt she had just cut out in home ec. class. Could you guess, would you guess who? None other than Nancy Mies! ' —-D.C.H.S.— The glee club members are diligently practicing for their concert to be given sometime' in April. As things are progressing, it promises

to be a very entertaining program, including numbers by the entire group as well as some by a triple trio. These busy glee dub student* are also working on music projects — oral accounts touching on music appreciation. —D.C.H.S.— DCHS didn’t win the county tourney or the sectional, but they did come home victorious Monday eve. They were winners in the county volleyball tournament. The boys played ball, beating Adams Central easily in a 2-out-of-3 match. Going into the next round, they played Hartford. The competition was keener here, but with plenty of spirit and determination they beat out of Gorillas for that beautiful trophy they brought home. DCHS extends congratulations to coach Lindahl and the boys. d.c.h.s. The girls also played Monday evening. They were not so successful, however, as the boys, losing their first gout-3 match with Geneva. It was the first time the girls competed in the tournament, and DCHS hopes not the last. They played a good game, and Decatur Catholic is proud of them. _D rvg— The grade school children all brushed their teeth extra special Wednesday morning in preparation for the examination by the Tri Kappa dental clinic. The purpose of the examination is to call attention to dental health. Do you have cavities? Better see your dentist. — D.C.H.S.— If one had walked into the classrooms shortly before dismissal last Friday! he would have found the students busfly "reading the third edition of the "Hi Light.” This issue was dedicated to Bishop Pursley, recently installed as bishop of the Kort Wayne Diocese. There were editorials on Lent, some excellent articles on the alumni and what they are doing, and a* word from the coach. Don’t miss it —D.C.H.S.— “Vestal virgins" and “the character of Ceasar” were two reports that were given at the regular meeting of the Latin club held today. Steve Sutton talked on the vestal virgins, and Mary Ann Jackson discussed the. character of Caesar. Both reports were well handled and instructive. —D.C.H.S.— Fashion Problem For Women For Easier Many Suggestions Given By Experts By GAY PAULEY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK (UP) — Friend of mine has a fashion problem shared by several million women this season. She wants something new and chic for the Easter parade. She wants what she buys to be a lasting part of her wardrobe. And she wants whatever she purchases to fit into her busy life as home-maker-office worker. * And, she wants to spend no more than 8100. (Her salary is about $75 a week). Trying to .be of help to Mrs. Frances Sherman, stenographerlibrarian at the Ford foundation’s Fund for the Advancement of Education, I consulted dress designer Claire McCardell, author of a new fashion guide, “What Shall I Wear?”. I also talked With wardrobe consultants in retail stores. Well, Frances, they give you and all of us on a budget, plenty of suggestions. The experts took note of the fact you're a 16; that you own good black pumps and handbag which won't need replacement this spring; and that your wardrobe must fit a life built around the office b? day, church on Sunday, and an occasional evening out with your husband, Charles, a. fabrics stylist, said. They suggested you dye last year’s full length yellow coat black. "Black is the best basic color, if your wardrobe is limited,” said Miss McCardell. Now, about buying a black silk crepe dress, since you already own a 2-year-old tweedy-type gray suit. Miss McCardell said “no” to the black dress. She suggested i»irchase of another suit—this one, a soft dressmaker type, in light weight wool, or in one of the new silk and wool combinations. Choose black, i? you can find it; otherwise, gray, she suggested. “A dressmaker suit is more versatile,” said Miss McCardell.' “It’s perfect worn with scarf and jewelry...or with tailored blouse for daytime. For dressier occasions, add a soft jersey blouse of the same color and pearls.” Barbara Adams, wardrobe consultant for a Fifth Avenue store (B. Altman) listed three wardrobe plans, none of them costing over ithe <IOO. She liked the idea of the pressmaker suit...said you can find a good one for S4O or SSO in silk and wool. Or, choose a dress — either a slim-cut black crepe “basic" or a floral print. Prints are “big” this spring, she said, and will go right on through summer. This leaves you about SSO to spend on blouse and scarf for-suit (if you decide on it), on jewelry and hat. Yardage BOSTON — (ID — Massachusetts mills finished 1,160,145,000 linear yards of cloth in 1955, the state’s commerce department reported.
