—D.C.H.S—

At the sodality meeting last Friday, the seniors presented a skit showing the proper manner of administering the sacrament of baptism. Alan wiseman acted as priest, Ann Miller and Larry Ehinger, as sponsors; and Tony Gillig was the 'announcer. Instead of his usual instruction, Father Contant offered the students an opportunity to ask questions concerning baptism. The students feel that, in this manner, they gained much useful informatian. At this meeting also, Janice Titus read a paper on liturgical music and members of the girls’ choir and the boys’ choir rendered efcveral numbers. What better way can there be to build up an appreciation of that music which is most appropriate for divine services?

—D.C.H.S.— “God reading makes good thought," was the subject of the 1957 annual Knight of Columbus ortorical contest. Dave Voglewede represented D.C.H.S. in the region-

al elimination contest held in De-1 catur at the K. of C. hall last week. —D.C.H.S.— Although inclement weather forced the cancellation of early games on the D.C.H.S. baseball schedule, the team has now completed two games, both Central Indiana Catholic Conference encounters. Both were losing efforts, however, 9-4 and 3-2, to Anoerson bt. Mary s, ana w nunuiig ton Catholic, respectively. After a little more practice, better things can be expected of the Commodore nine in the games that remain. ‘ —D.C.H.S— Last week three seniors boys, Ron Ford. Tony Gillig, and Mike Murphy, plus five juniors boys, Phil Reed, Dave Kable, Bill Beal, Fred Lengerich, and Dale Hake, were present at a talk by Dick Geiburg, head of the Fort Wayne C. E. appreciate school. He stated many of the advantages of going to this apprentice school, one of the chief examples being a chance to go to Purdue Extension. —D.C.H.S— Most people like to listen to music. Well, that’s exactly what ’ the seniors did in English cUss last week. No, it wasn’t the laftst rock ‘n’ roll tune; it was a little more constructive than that. They heard records on poems that they bad recently discussed in classes, such as "Crossing the Bar,” and* Dickens* novel, “Tale of Two Cities.” It helped the students learn the correct way to say them and the right expressions to use. -D.C.H.S— The students at D.C.H.S. enjoyed a musical program at Decatur high school Tuesday. Butler University presented its concert bas'd. They entertained the group with such numbers as “Buglar's Beach,” by Bach; “Joshua,” by Walters, and "Toccata for Band,” y Erickson. "Joshua” seemed, to be the number the students favored. as many of them were singing it on the way back to school. —D.C.H.S—DECATUR HIGH SCHOOL By Sara Brunnegraff

The juniors lj( eertainly did a fine Job and are Mfo be complimented on the work they did in their production of “Footloose”. The acting was all very good and the play itself showed the many situations which can and do arise when Mom and Dad ate away on vacation. You did a good job, Juniors, and D.H.S. is proud of you. -D.H.S—“Map! that chemistry test was really hard.” That might have been the comment heard from the three boys who went to Fort Wayne last Thursday to take the test provided by the northeastern chemical society.

May 331 Do you have all your work up to date so that you win not be in trouble when that fateful day arrives. We hope so! —D.H.S.— 41 Companies Hit SBillion In 1956 Big Business Rode Crest Os Big Spree NEW YORK (UP) — American big business, riding the crest at the biggest consumer spending spree in history, finished 195® with a record 41 companies doing an annual business of SI billion or more, a United Press survey showed today. A total of eight firms joined the billionaire sales ranks in 1956, a year that saw the economy reach to unprecedented heights. The 41 companies rang up aggregate revenues and sales of $96,076,737,103 in 1956, which vyas equal to more than $560 for es«A man, woman and child living in. the United States. The previous year these same firms took in $92,708,236,866 while selling everything from pizza pies to atomic reactors. The key factor behind the growth of the billionaire sales giants last year was the record

8266 billion that couaumara shelled out for goods and services of all kinds. The new companies joining the billionaire sales club last year ware Douglas Aircraft Co., General Dynamlct Com. Montgomery Ward & Co.. Phil Ups Petroleum, Pennsylvania Railroad Co., Procter & Gamble Co., Continental Chn Co., and Boeing Airplane Co. The list of sales giants mirrored the changes that are taking place in our economy and also t£e roiling adjustment that marked'l9s6. The big three auto manufacturers—General Motors, Ford and Chrysler—all suffered sales declines in 1956 as new car volume slipped below the record high established in 1955. The growing emphasis on defense, particularly air power, was reflected in the fact that 1956 was the first year in the nation's history that three aircraft companies boasted membership in the dub. Boeing and Douglas both tojoined the list last year. General Dynamics, a diversified firm making airplanes, atomic submarines and many other products, joined for the first time. Ot the 41 companies, the survey showed that six suffered a dedine in sales from 1955. A number also reported declines in earnings atf a result of the profit-squeeze that developed last year. -
