Reall/ keen going, Jim. M.H.S. One of the nicest sights about the school is the playground area in operation during recess and noon hours. Patronized mostly by the grades and junior high, this "outdoor gym” is always busy. Every game imaginable is played from marbles to red rover but, of course, basketball seems most popular. Cutest group on the lot are the dozen or so pint sized yell leaders who practice their yells. This neat playground area is the pride and joy of the whole school. M.H.S. The sophomores are extremely important people this week. After all, their long awaited high school sweaters and jackets have finally come. Most of the sweaters are white with a golden eagle and the letters "SO”- on them. The jackets are gray with a golden eagle and the letters “60” also. Very attractive, sophomores.

The underlying bedrock formations dip toward the southwest Thus, the older rocks, which are the bottom layers, come to the earth's surface at the eastern edge of the state, as do the younger rocks at the west. Occurrence of some natural resources depends on the distribution and position of bedrock—the drawing showing, for instance, why Indiana’s coal, which is found in Pennsylvanian rocks, is produced only in the southwestern part of the state. The building limestone, which is in the Mississippian rocks, is quarried only where this layer comes to the surface—farther west the Mississippian rocks are too far down. Study of these rock structures helps the State Geological Survey and the associated Indiana University Department of Geology to racist Hoosier industries in development of natural resources.
