man and the Rev. H. E. Settlage, respectively, will give the invocation and benediction, and the senior girls’ trio — Betty Steury, Cynthia Lehman, and Carol Kaehr — sing for this evening of dedication. - A.C.H.S.— Dr. A.

The Rev. Chester Wilson will give the invocation and the Rev. A. E. Burk, the benediction. —A.C.H.S.— Those moments, when the diplomas are given and tassels on the graduates* caps turned, 12 years

of school for each of the 42 will have been completed. . . . More about the senior trip and highlights of the senior year, later. Back at Central, however, the seniors’ last day. May 3, completed a big and wonderful week. Let’s summarize it first; / ' l —A.C.H.S.— From style show participants to visitors to Central herself — all donned their best bib and tucker for “open house" Friday evening. Each room in the primary wings gaily displayed pupil’s art work, and bulletin boards showed "the cream” of these ventures into the arts, supervised by Hubert Feasel, art instructor from grade one through high school. Junior high rooms as well were open for parents and patrons to inspect, and also for them to meet the teachers. In the high school, new additions of the new desks in the history and English room and the card catalog in the library—- — hall were noted. The industrial arts room attracted visitors interested in marksmanship, as the Rifle club presented a shooting exhibition. The gym, scene of the dress revue, was specially decked out: one entire side lined with art exhibits and the other with industrial arts projects and drawnings. All high school industrial arts and junior high and many art students had at least part of their years’ work here, resulting in a good view of the execellent work these two departments have done in ’56-’57. —A.C.H.S.—• New spring dresses to evening wear to little girls’ outfits appeared on the Central stage "open house” in the home ,ec department's style show, “As Others See You.” Junior high freshman, sophomore, and senior seamsteresses modeled 61 outfits, which they made as home projects or class work. The curtains pulled back to reyeal the s.cene of a railway station, and the parade of fashions began. As Dorothy Geyer stood at the ticket window, two home ec girls, Shirley Osterman and Patty Frank, entered to wait for their train and to pass the time, the girls talked about clothes. Shirley explained that a station is a good place in which to “see yourself as others see you,” taking a line from the poet Browning. After severeal passengers on outbound trains came to the ticket window — Wanda Neuenschwander and Kathleen Adler — poor examples of grooming and taste came before the home ec styles. These were cleverly pointed up by Mabel Steffen, Karen Schultz, Arlene Zimmerman, Irene Merri•man, and Kay Singleton. Typical examples of types of good grooming followed: Linda Reber, as a

coed; Catol Haggard, the businesswoman; Doveanna Nussbaum', teacher; and Bernice Yager, as the well-groomed mother traveling with her children. —A.C.H.S.— Six senior girls came after Georgiana Essex onto the stage, as a group of models for an agency. Announcing that there was time for them to practice their style show before the train arrived, Georgianna, as emcee, began the revue, reading a comment about the outfits and announcing each girl’s name as she crossed the stage. After the curtains had ended the showing, a curtain call brought Mrs. Pete Ellis on stage, where emcee Georgianna presented her instructor a corsage. Certainly the whole home ec department deserve a bouquet for stag-< ing the style show, a goocbexample of e6me fine work done this year! - A.C.H.S.— To recognize students’ achievements, and to provide time to present medals, letters, pins, and chevrons to Centralites, the annual awards program was held Tuesday of last week. Martin Watson, vocational agriculture instructor, headed the program, showing some of the plaques won this year, including land judging placipg — first in county, blueribbon winner in district, and high in state — their bronze state chapter award, and showing some of their 17 placques won at the district, including three firsts, seconds, and two third this year. Mrs. Mrs. Dwight Gallivan came next pins for each of the 11 senior annqal staff members, and a trophy for Cynthia Lehman for selling the most annuals in the winter subscription campaign. Miss Lucile Beavers and Miss Imogene Beihold presented Winston Lister, BUI Hoffman, and Loren Habbegger state certificates in math and Barbara Fiechter hers for first in district and silver state medal placement, respectively. For the home ec department, Mrs. Pete Ellis presented Cynthia Lehman a pin signifying "home is where the heart is,” snigifying her title of Betty Crocker Homemaker of Tomorrow for Adams Central. —A.C.H.S.— Thirty awards came from the Music department, as bandmaster Don Gerig awarded chevrons to four-year band and chorus members and letters (a new award this year) for two-year band and chorus members. Mr. Gerig also renamed Betty Steury, winner of the senior music award, and Gretchen Schnepp, who received a golden trophy for excellent performance and drum majorette during her four years of high school. —A.C.H.S.— I Fo£ty-two seniors returned to Van Wert after three days in Wask-’ J ington, D. C., this *oon. They left, along with Mr. and Mis. Dwight Galliva and Mr. and Mrs. Leroy Cable, Sunday evening at 6 p.m. on the Liberty Limited. Monday

the tour took the class through ! Capitol Hill — the house of representatives, the senate, Saturday hall, and the rotunda. A theater party was just the beginning of that first evening in the city; from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. came a night tour of the city; to Capitol Hill again, the archives building, and the National Airport. The White House was the focal point of enjoyment the next morning, and that afternoon, with the words '“free time,” pupils had a chance to go shopping on their own. The evening held a trip to Cinerama at Washington’s finest theater. Yesterday the class traveled into Virginia, to Washington’s home, Mount Vernon, where the senors could explore the grounds until around noon. Last on their whirlwind tour of the pap--1 ital was the embassy and legation section of the city and the Pan American building. One impression — though there were many bonuses of enjoyment — remains foremost: what a wonderful country we have and what a capital to match it 1. . . - —A.C.H.S.— Washington is a city of deceptivelyy simple plan. When the French city planner laid out the outline of the city, he made the main streets like a huge cross, with smaller streets running evenly across. Small streets inside blocks were to be called places. This works out all right — until you find a street named a “place” when it shouldn’t be at all! That’s one of the facts about Washington. So here’s a tip: get a map before coming to the capiiel. Tips on Washington, D. C., are plentiful in the library’s new book, “Washington is wonderful.” Hint to underclassmen: if you do or don’t go to see Washington consult the book; it’s a good* picture of our nation’s capital. It is agreed: the visit to Washington, D. C., was a thrilling experience. The seniors want; to thank their sponsors, Mrs. Gallivan, Mr. Fruth, and Mr. Cable, for substituting and to principal Herman E. Franz, for “going with us all the way” in planning and helping the class, to make it possible. Thank you—A.C.H.S.— Steve Fruth, four-and-a-half-year-old, son of assistant coach John Fruth, was seriously burned when his clothes caught fire while he was playing near a bonfire in their home near Bluffton, Monday of last week. Stevie received first and second degree burns and is in the Caylor-Nickel Clinic at Bluffton. One of the nicest things Central could do for, him would be to fill that mailbox with cards to help him pass the time. His room is 459. —A.C.H.S.— County track meet time followed Central’s duel With Monmouth’s thin clads, when the Greyhounds came out on top, and EIC time, when the Central thinlies ties for fifth. Bring in the team with a tie for fourth in the county, senior - Dave Smith set the school record

in both high and low hurdles and Ron Corson, also a senior, broke the 220-yard dash record. Nice going, tracksters! —A.C.H.S.—State contests beckon again for an Adams Central group, as the vocational agriculture crops judging ontestants placed seventh at the district at Arcola, recently. Tony Sharp, Phil Moser, Rich? ard Hirschy, and Palmer Urick will represent Adams Central at the state fair next September. Congratulations, team — and good luck at the state! —A.CHS.— could have been a comment on the two weeks of pantomimes, “They brought the house down!” poems, ana monologs, which rounded out the speech class’ year with laughs and good fun.

week saw each cla.ss member present pantomimes to records or five-minutes ppems. Pantomimes to Jjpike Jones “Tennessee Waltz” and to Elmer Fudd’s story of a “wittie kangawoo” and narrative poems, including “Casey At The Bat,” were spotlighted the first week. “Hiram On the Pullman” < something to do with senior trip mixups?) “A Perfect Size 42," and “My First Football Game,” were samples of the funniest monologs again last week. Speech “oraters” can truly say that these last two weeks, round off to a "T” a course ful of fun and excellent experience —senior speech. Doyle Collier spoke for the Rifle club and industrial arts departments! 45 sharpshooters were to receive a junior NRS card for successful completion of the club's
