they are up one grade and that summer vacation is over. Although the calendar has not been formally organized. Central is still buzzing with activity. - A C H S. - Enrollment at Adams Central has tallied to the mark of 906. Twohundred forty-three of this number are enrolled in high school, with 48 seniors, 56 juniors, 63 sophomores and 76 freshmen. The largest class at Central is the first grade, with 101 members. — A.

Hartford, and Willshire, the band will march in the opening night parade which begins at 7 p.m. Jeannie Smith. Central's drum majorette, will compete in the drum majoring contestduring the parade. — A. C. H. S. — One helpful addition at Central this 1958-59 year is the adoption of : renting all or most of our books. This aids everyone financially, of course, but pupils are not to forget ; that the books are property of the ‘school and are not to be misused. - A. C. H. S — Rah! Rah! Yes, school basketball • spirit is already beginning to show with many girls from Central trying out for cheerleaders. Carol Haggard, Arlene Zimmerman. Marcia Zimmerman. Joan Ruppert. Jeannie Smith, Dixie Smith, Kath- . leen Adler, Karen Cauble, and Car- ‘ olyn Yake are some of the girls to date who will display their cheer- : leading abilities sometime this week. — A C H.

be a member of the girls’ glee club, girls' ensemble, and possibly the boys’ glee club. - A. C. H. S. — It’s so crowded on our bus! Well, with the arrival of two new) buses the problem won't be completely solved, but it helps. One of the buses is already here and in operation. The other has a 59 chassis and will Come later. This keeps the number of buses the same 114), for these new buses are replacing older models. -A. C. H. S. — Probably the most interesting event scheduled during Monroe days is the beauty contest. Os the ten girls entered, four hail from Adams Central. The girls and their respective talents are as fallows. Jeannie Smith, baton twirling; Nancy Raudenbush, musical reading; Onalee Barkley, piano; and Jeannie Kaehr, vocal. Friday evening the girls will display these talents and a winner from the ten will be chosen Saturday evening. Good luck to all of these four girls who are the best representatives of Central and their sponsors! - A. C. H. S. - A modern touch has been added to the new art room—36 streamlined chairs and matching trapeziodshepecTdesks. Cabinets are-also on their way To fit the decor, the chairs, are many different colors, including pink, green, blue, and yellow. Hubert‘Feasel, art instructor, has the new art room locking very colorful. - A. C. H. S. — Among the many listings on the band's heavy schedule is its appcarance in the Bluffton fair pa- J Fade next week. Approximately 201 bands are expected to compete for $75, S4O. $25, and sls prizes Wed- ! nesday evening. Let’s get one of j those prizes, band! - A C. H. S. - Besides the new buses, art room, 11 etc.. Central has undergone quite ■ an extensive paint job on the walls. 1 The pastel green coloring covers 1 any unsightly smudges that might ' have accumulated during the five ’ year period. These pleasant surroundings make studying at Cen- j tral an easy task. — A. C. H. S. — ’ Presses (well, mimeographs) 1 will be rolling again for the Grey- 1 hound Gazette as soon as supplies arrive. Donald Sprunger, new Gazette advisor, and Shirley Oster- , man, editor, have a tentative staff , organized, but are ready to talk to , anyone interested in journalism work. — A. C. H. S. — All this is still only a quarter? ! You're absolutely correct. Central’s cafeteria meals are staying at the same prices they have during the past years. With one exception—- | teachers’ prices have been raised !to $.30. Mrs. Leia Arnold, head cook, is to be lauded on the fine job of handling Central's cafeteria and providing pupils, faculty, staff with delicious, well-balanced meals. . Other members helping Mrs. Arn- | old in the kitchen are Mrs. Alta j Byerly. Mis. Lucille Haines, Mrs. ■ Aldina Riley, Mrs. Lillie Rich and ! lunch room supervisor. Mrs. Janice Huffman. — A. C. H. S. — A two-piece cotton dress costs an American textile employe the amount of money earned in three hours and 50 minutes of work. The Soviet textile employe has to work 21 hours for the same dress.

“Summer time and the livin' is easy.” Bqt it's all over now, for it’s back to school for [another nine I months. Ah! But if we keep our: j noses to the grind ; stone long enough we ought to be;

pretty sharp by the time summer i rolls around once more. D. C. H. S. ;. A mass in honor of the Holy : Spirits, celebrated by the Very Rev. Msgr. J. J. Seimetz, welcomed the students back for another school year. Following the mass, Msgr. Seimetz extended his best wishes to the students, wishing them a successful and happy school year. D. C. H. S. Due to the increased enrollment, many changes have been made io accomodate all stundents. The changes involve both the schedule of classes and the location of class rooms. D. C. H. S. A hearty congratulation to the freshmen who adopted themselves so readily to changed schedules. The old pros (seniors) weren’t exactly free from confusion themselves. D. C. H. S. Students at DCHS would like to take this opportunity to welcome the two new teachers. Sister Joan of Arc and Joseph Morin. We wish them the best of luck and hope they'll find the pupils cooperative. * D. C. H. S. Several new faces have poped up here and there among the student body. The freshmen greet Jose’ Trevino; the sophomores. James Cancino; and the juniors, Patricia Ruble and Amelia Zamora. The students are happy to have these new friends and hope they will enjoy being with DCHS. D C. H. S. Talk of a ‘lone star'! Tony Lengerich, senior at Decatur Catholic, is the only student enlisted in a reserve jeorps. Tony signed up with the U. S. Army Reserves in June and spent the last two weeks of August at summer camp at Fort Sill. Oklahoma. He is expected to report for duty every Tuesday at the local Army Reserve headquarters. Several other boys are interested in joining the reserves but as yet have not committed themselves. D. C. H. S. “Keep to your right and keep moving!” Now there’s a familiar phrase for anyone who ever attended the S. S. C. A. (summer school of Catholic action) in Chicago. Decatur Catholic was represented this year by Judy Koors. Dolores Kohne, Leonida Mies, Bob Murphy, Mike Durkin, and Jim Heimarlh. All are seniors this year except Jim, who is a junior. Judy Kors expressed, “It was an experience of a lifetime.” D. C. H. S. A survey was taken to determine what the high school students did I to occupy their time during the summer months. —if was found ! that approximately 42% chose work as their favorite occupation, 20% vacationed out of state, while 33% enjoyed the lakes with their many interesting activities. D. C. H. S Three cheers for the Commodore baseball team! By defeating Pleasant Mills with a score of six tn five, the Commodores opened their fall baseball season in good spirits. Today the team met the Monmouth Eagles at McMillen Field, where they hope to put on another good showing. Keep up the good work, boys, you’re on the right track. D. C. H. S. Every year the seniors of DCHS take upon themselves the task of i selling greeting cards. Funds acquired through this campaign are turned over to the school in the ; form of some gift. Last year the \ class financed the landscaping .of !the school lawn. If you have an • opportunity to purchase some items ■ from the class, you are urged to Ido so. Items being sold include: I greeting cards, all occasion and Christmas; wrapping paper, all occasion and Christmas; and note paper. D C. H.-S. DECATUR HIGH By Cheryl Ashbaucher Well, school’s

- D. H. S. - One especially interesting new student is Peter Friederici, our exchange student from Germany. Peter is a member of the senior class this year, and we hope he will enjoy his stay in Decatur very much. — D. H. S. — We also welcome two new teachers who have been added to the faculty. They are Mr. Dormeyer, who teaches English and history, and Mr. Irvine, who also teaches English. — D. H. S. - It is sure nice to see Betsy Burk in school after her trip to Germany. Betsy was Decatur’s exchange student to Germany under the American Field service. We all enjoy hearing her experiences and adventures. .— D. H. S. - Last Friday night the Yellow Jackets played their first football game against the Auburn Red Devils. The final gun showed Decatur at the short end by a score of 12 to 6. Although the Jackets were defeated, the team showed a great deal of spirit and determination. With a little more experience, the season should be a good and victorious one for the Jackets. — D. H. S. — The football cheerleaders, Casse Strickler, Becky Maddox, Taya Erekson, and Sidney Beery, appeared at the game wearing purple wool slacks and white letter sweaters. You sure looked nice girls ! ! They have a tough job of keeping the Cheering block together, so let's give them all our cooperation and help. — D. H. S. - This year we have added ah- ■ other foreign language to our curriculum, French. Miss Charlotte instructs this course. The students are having a lot of fun learning to speak this interesting language. I —- D. H. S. — The speech class, taught by Mr. ; Dor win. is learning to use phon- ! etics, which is an alphabet of sounds. They are learning to write the alphabet and their names and addresses. — D. H. S. — For the first time this year. DHS held a summer school with 45 persons attending. Two courses : were offered, civics and sociology. Mr. Smith and Mr. Dorwin instructed civics and sociology, respectively. Students from the sophomore, junior, and senior classes I attended. These were very am-; bitious students to take time out! from their summer vacation ' toi attend school. — D. H. S. — One of the first steps toward • graduation for the seniors is the ] choosing of their name cards. The 1 cards are very attractive this year

In addition to the freshmeri, two new faculty members have been ■ added to the teaching staff. James E. Woolsey will teach agriculture and science. Mrs. Dorothy Eichenauer will teach grade one. The student body and faculty wish them a hearty welcome. M. H. S. Several improvements have been added to the school building. New' Venetian blinds have been installed in the typing and English rooms; also added to the English room were new lights. New wooden* cupboards appear along one wall in the art room, a new pro- j jector has been bought for the; science room, extra pieces of furn-1 iture have been added to several : rooms. M. H. S. The students and faculty send ! out a big thanks to Walt Wisemjm, | the MHS janitor, for a clean and'

shiny school building to start the school year off. Looks nice, Walt. M. H. S. “A Lucky Penny,” a comedy in three acts, was picked last spring for the senior class play. Well, the books have arrived and the cast has been choosen. The production of the play will be Friday and Saturday, October 3 and 4. Now is the time to write that date on your calender to attend “A Lucky Penny.” i M. H. S. The cast of the senior pipy is as follows: Penny Pringle, Joan Fleming; Lydia Pringle, Garnita Hartman; Caleb Pringle, John Fuhrman; Joanna, Kay Bultemeyer; Kerry, Larry Busiclt; Oreg, Larry Hoffman; Gram, Pat Miller; Miss Haskins, Alice Hockemeyer; Mr. Daly, Ron Hoffman; O’Shane, Dwight Schaefer; Flash, Rex King; Hulda, Sue Merriman; Vera, Nyla Girod; Georgina, Mary Lou Lewton; Susette, Carol Jacquay. The play is directed by Geraldine Herderhorst. • M. H. S. “Whew, look at that score.” “I’m kind of low in this subject, but a little bit higher in this one.” These were a few of the comments that were heard Tuesday evening, September 2. The seniors had just received the results of their scores ftom the national merit scholarship tests, which were taken last spring. These tests show a student how he rates with other students of his age from all over the United States. M. H. S. "“Play ball!" was heard Thursday, September 4, at the McMillen park. The MHS baseball team played its first game of the season. Although they were defeated by Adams Central, MHS is proud of the team's good performance and will be cheering them in future games. M. H. S. August 28. the marching band of MHS braved the early morning to travel to the Indiana state fair. There, they marched before the grandstands in the state-wide band contest. “Congratulations,” kids and Darrell Gerig, director, for a fine performance. M. H. S. “Boy! doesn’t the gym floor look nice?” Students have been asked to obey the signs at each entrance and keep off the floor with street shoes. M. H. S. If a visitor should happen to see a student walking around the halls after the noon period wearing two different shoes, the answer lies in the fact that “said student” probably was dancing during the noon recess. Many students kick off their shoes around the edge of the gym floor at the begining of the noon period and dance to records. Then when the bell rings, there

is a mad rush for the shoes. So as you can see, it is very easy to get the wrong shoe. M. H. S. The students want to tbank Whity Schaefer for furnishing all the latest rock n’ roll records for the
