"Reserve Ttvd For Murder,” the juniors' spring play, appeared on the Central stage last night, the spine-tingling moments and surprises making it certainly the unique mystery class had promised Central. A review in detail will appear here next week; but Central would at least like to say right now: thanks, juniors — and everyone who pitched in —for a real success! Central will long remember “Reserve Two For Murder”! —A.C.H.S.— "They’re just beautiful!” seemed to be the only comments sophomores could think of after choosing their class rings Monday noon. When questioned further, the typical sophomore would describe such marvelous details as “the slanted design, not like yours or the other class's," “oh, that white gold background!” or “imagine my ruby set with a pearl stripe!” But the stars in their eyes can be understood: for it’s a big moment, choosing a class ring: just one of tiie many they’re to have during high school. Central is sure, sophomores, that the rings will be as good-looking as comments about them when they arrive next September! —A.C.H.S.— ’ One important future date is nearing with that week of contests and banquets. The music department will present its annual spring concert April 26. The chorus, last to complete its season, gave its final sacred concert at the Berne Evangelical and Reformed church Sunday evening. Now all four units of the department, the senior band) and chorus, and the junior’s and beginners’ bands, under bandmaster Don Gerig, are practicing for Ifhe spring concert. Something extra-special and pretty is being planned. It would be good to mark that date of Friday, April 26, in red on the calendar now! —A.C.H.S.— In connection with annual awards day and open house Adams Central holds in the spring,

the industrial arts department is planning their exhibit to to set up in the gymnasium May 3. After judging, which is done by industrial arts instructors invited from other schools, each of the nine divisions of exhibits will receive four ribbons, with a pin going to first prize winners on awards day, state Doyle Collier, industrial arts instructor. Projects will be classified in these divisions: electricity and architectural drawing; juniors, sheet metal drawings and metals projects; sophomores, advanced machine woodworking; freshman, machine drawing and hand woodworking; and eighth grade, beginning mechancial drawing and beginning woodworking. Central is looking forward to again Seeing the industrial arts exhibit: polish up those projects, and may the ones that have the best planning and workmanship in them win the ribbons and pins! —A.C.H.S.— Advanced typing pupils are gaining experience in nil phases of typing and office work through the two office practice sets they have worked on this spring. In the first, a set of 40 different jobs from writing business letters to typing invoices, deeds, and telegrams, the group worked for the Porter Candy Company (though a make-believe name, the Porter title on all letterheads and forms gave a realistic slant to the office work). Their new practice set, received last week from instructor John Fruth, takes in all kinds of filing work; and the cards and indexes in the small green boxes can become confusing; so the thing to do is to keep on trying for the perfect scares’ —A.C.H.S.— There is always a moral to the talks the speech class is giving this week. Now that they have thoroughly studied the basics of good speaking, they will be occupied this last six weeks with a real variety of activity. Keeping their pencils in good working or-

der. the speakers are also writing personality sketches for their written work this week. The final two weeks will give the class a chance to do monologues ( recalling the famed “Betty at the Ball Game,’’) and five-minute poems and pantomimes to such records as Spike Jones and Stan Freeburg. —A.C.H.S.— Strains of “Onward, Christian Soldiers,” familiar to older Centralites, were heard again up the gymnasium during chapel period ’ last week, as Rev. Robert G. Magary gave his special arrangement of the beloved hymn. Also, before the message, Rev. Magary sang “Were You There When They Crucified My Lord?” The Lenten chapel topic, “Loss To Life,” gave Central many worthwhile things to think on during this season — and all year around, each day. Rev. Magary’s music and message have beep familiar to Central; and ACHS tjopes to see him again soon. —A.C.H.S.— DECATUR CATHOLIC HIGH By Marjorie Kohne The Very Rev 3 '' ' ' Monsignor Seim-ar -v-’B*’' 5 • etz was appointed deanWVß of the newly WH ** . created Hunting-.iiRE ton' deanery ■ W ’ Bishop Leo A.'F x Pursley.

The division was made ih order to provide a better basis for reorganization of the diocsan councils of Catholic men and women. The entire school is proud and 1 happy over this latest honor that ; has come to the beloved pastor. —D.C.H.S.— ' It seems the freshmen are full ■ of surprises! Last week they held i an auction in which they auctioned : surprise boxes. The results were • something to talk about, for they

brought in almost twice the amount spent. Jim Omlor displayed some hidden talent as auctioneer. What next will those freshmen think of? —D.C.H.S.— The sophomores ran into difficulty this week with their geometry. Up till now they enjoyed working out those theorems, but suddenly they are a little hesitant. They hope to get over this rough spot quickly, however, under the expert teaching of Sister Rosemary. -‘-D.C.ELS.— - All went well in the boys’ foods class until the day came to polish silverware. Great indignation was shown as the plan of the day was proposed. Remarks such as the following were heard as those knives, forks, and spoons looked shiny and shiner. “Isn’ this a girl’s job? What an experience! look, my scouring cloth is black. Don’t tell my mother I’ve learned to polish silverware! I must do this fork over?” Just then the bell rang, and the polished silverware lay upon the tray glittering ih the sun. Nice work boys. A job well done. —D.C.H.S.— The chemistry class was vitally interested in the flame tests of different metals and sulfides, which was one of the experiments conducted in the lab last week. It is important work and one can appreciate its importance in the many branches of science. . —D.CJLS.— Jim Costin, sports writer for the Fort Wayne News-Sentinel will be guest speaker at dhe basketball banquet this evening. It will be held at the K. of C. hall starting at 6:80. Members of this year’s basketball squad will be honor guests, and awards will be presented to them during the course of the evening. DCHS students and fans hope this will be an annual event. —D.C.H.S.— The juniors set the pace with a very successful bake sale held last Saturday. They netted a fine amount and are very well pleased with the results of their hard work. They again wish to thank the Western Auto Store for making such a desirable location available to them. 0 £ JJg The library is just about taken over by the seniors, who are busily engaged in writing research papers. There are many topics from which to choose. Papers must run from 750 to 1600 words. Bibliographies and footnotes and the “fun” of such -reports. This assignment will aid the students in journalism, but, most of all, it will prove helpful to those who plan to enter college in the fall. * —D.C.HS.— Myles Connolly's book, "Mr. Blue," was the subject of discussion in both third and fourth year English classes. Many and varied were the comments on this book and its chief character — some going so far as to describe him as just "nuts.” However, once the students realized that the book was a satire and that its autor was poking fun at Amqpcans, the character took on a new light The author permits Mr. Blue to bring out the nonsensical ways in which men seek happiness. The extravagance of Americans is also played up by Mr. Blue, who in all seriousness carries out things to the extreme. Nothing seems more ridiculous than his depositing his money in 63 banks while he plays with 63 bankbooks. Later in the book, Mr. Blue, in his same serious manned, shows how true happiness can be attained. A real treat is

Snow, sleet, I iee, haih a adj just about any-’ thing one can I name, Decaturj has had in the papt week. D. H. S. has not been , free of it either, j To put confusion! on top of confu- i sion, last Friday

afternoon at approximately lf3o there was a power failure. The students from Berne and Bluffton were arriving to prepare for the music festival and it was pitch black in the gymnasium where the choir was to practice. It was quite an experience practicing in candlelight. which is exactly what hoppened. It was a relief to have that wonderful electricity again after being without it for more than an hour.
