it is us, other people, who have the greatest bad effect on children. At least 80 to more than 90% of the trouble comes from ,us. TV and movies rated only 2% for boys and 8% for girls. Perhaps we should repair the cracks in our own glass houses before we start throwing stones again. ——ioi—_o—— The county commissioners Monday signed a contract with the abstracting companies to rent a little office to them for $36 a month. For many years, abstractors worked out of the county recorder’s office. As the number of abstractors increased, and a new photorecording machine was added to the center of the recorder’s office, it became impossible to house all of the people in the one office. So a small room was built at the north rear of the first floor of the court house, and office facilities provided for abstractors. The room was added at public expense. The abstractors felt that it should be provided, since they had always used the public room in the recorder’s office for their work, and the office was built as much for the convenience of the recorder and the general public as for the abstractors. Many people in the county felt that the abstractors should be charged rent, however, to at least pay for the new room. Therefore, the present board of county commissioners has signed a five-year contract providing for a payment of S3O amonth for the space used, all utilities except the telephone provided. Abstractors, in preparing the history of your property, perform a useful service to society, ax property has less value when the title is not strengthened by an abstract' showing former ownership and transfers. At the same time it is the duty of the county commissioners to consider expens’es, and the charge seems low enough to be fair to the abstractors, while at the same time reimbursing the county for their costs.

DECATUB CATHOLIC HIGH By Theresa Laurent

A Jr

By defeating the< Huntington Catholic Ramblers in their game Dec. 3, the Decatur Catholic Commodores raked up| their second victory of the season. To the delight of everyj Commodore fan.|

the Commodore “five" upset their Huntington opponents by a sixpoint margin. Let’s have some more of that "stuff,” boys. Surely, you won’t find the fans complaining about it. - D. C. H. S — Following the Wednesday night game, a record "hop” was held in the Sts. Peter and Paul school recreation room for Huntington Catholic students, as well as for the Decatur Catholic group. At the same time, team members enjoyed a small luncheon. DCHS students were pleased to attend at least a portion of the “hop” before returning home. —. D. C. H. S. — But alas and alack! The Commodores’ luck soured when they battled the Adams Central Greyhounds last Friday evening. Facing field-goal trouble, the "crew" was unable to break a more-than-ten-point lead and went down with a49 to the opposing’s 68. Don’t give up the ship, team; you’re in the middle of combat duty. — D. C. H. S. - The Commodores’ only opponents this week will be the Anderson St. Mary’s ball club. Incidentally the game will be played on Saturday the 13 instead of December 12 as indicated on your basketball schedules. The place, the Decatur floor, will remain as was previously shceduled. — D. C. H. S. — Also having been defeated by their last opponents, the Adams Central “B” team, the DCHS “Seconds” are finding all is not sugar and spice. Their position is being threatened by three loses hovering over four wins. Better get on the "ball.” boys. Time is precious. — D. C. H. S. — Jane Giemer, a member of the office practice group, the second year shorthand and typing class, was awarded the Gregg shorthand speed certificate. Having taken dictation at the rate of 80 words a minute for five minutes, Jane received the certificate for neatness and accuracy in transcribing. Nice going, Jane. Now pull for 100. — D. C. H. S. — To some, typing is a difficult task required extra hours of effort; to others, it’s a mere push-over. Several students of the typing I class have fallen into the latter catagory having reached a speed of 5 words a minute for one minute in this first semester. Still others are boardering on the 50s and should reach that point in a matter of days. The 50ers include Judith Braun, Vincent Gase, Patricia Kintz, Mary Schultz, and Severin Schurger. Congratulations, kids! Now you’ve got the 60s to look forward to. — D. C. H. S. — December 6, Kathleen Kohne, a senior at Decatur Catholic high, motored to Fort Wayne and participated in the scholartic aptitude tests for college entrance qualification. Lasting from 9a m. through 12:30 p.m., the test involved mathematics as well as English. — D. C H. S. — "Brrrrrrrrrrrrrr! It’s cold outside!” In zero temperatures Decatur Catholic high school students returned to school after a four-day week end. Getting back into the swing of school work isn’t so easy when one is used to "lazy” days.

S. — Friday afternoon, the senior English classes saw a film on Macbeth. The film included two different scenes from this famous play. Last Tuesday they finished , this play with a written examination over the entire work. Too bad some of those seniors didn't listen more closely in classy — D. H.

They are president, Linda Jadkson, vicepresident, Judy Hott; secretary, Ann Lehrmari; treasurer, Pat McCammon. — D. H. S. — This Friday night, the Yellow Jackets will travel to Fort Wayne.

S. — MONMOUTH HIGH By Sue Merriman

Victory was the slogan for last Friday night’s game as the Eagles defeated the Pleasant Mills Spartans by a close score. The fans saw a lot of action as it was a tough

game for both teams. In the final seconds of the game the score became quite close, but the Eagles remained on top 64-62. — M. H. S. — During the intermission of the

varsity game, the MHS band gave a splendid performance. The 48 members of the band marched out onto the gym floor, where they formed different shapes of droodles as the director, Mr. Gerig, gave an expiation of each one. The band then formed a large *T" and played the Pleasant Mills school song, formed an "M” for the MHS school song, and they marched off the floor accompanied by the loud applause from the audience. — M. H. S. — The student council sponsored, a dance after the ballgame last Friday night. Mr. and Mrs. Milton Hoffman spun the records for the i square dancing, rock n’ roll, polkas, ; and round dancing. Chaperons were Mrs. Hugh Andrews, Mr. and Mrs. Erwin Buuck, Mr. and Mrs. Carl Hurst, Mr. and Mrs. John 'Rosier, and Mr. and Mrs. Hobart ; Spencer. All indications were that ' everyone had a grand time. Three more such affairs have been scheduded to take place after a ball game.', - M. H. S. — Underclassmen pictures were i handed out last Thursday. Now the students are busy exchanging photos. One can hear many conversations concerning these pictures, but one must remember “a camera never lies.” — M. H. S. — Last Monday evening the F.H.A. held their regular monthly meeting at the home of Marcille Buuck. First on the agenda was the business portion of the meeting. Several games were played for recreation after which the group sang Christmas carols. Delicious refreshments were served by the hostess and her helpens. For a Christmas exchange, each girl had a number on the bottom of her plate which corresponded with a number on a gift, she then located her gift. — M. H. S. — jp. Members of the Eagle staff are working very hard at the present time trying to meet their first deadline of 20 pages for the annual. Now that the underclassmen pictures and a few activity pictures have been received, the staff mem-i 1

bers are diligently setting up these particular pages. , — M. H. S. — Seniors are beginning to realize just how close they are to graduation. hast Tuesday they were measured for their caps and gowns., The class chose as gown colors, academy gray for the boys and white for the girls. The tassels on the caps are to be a combination of these two colors. The seniors are bound to look very collegiate for their commencement activities. — M. H. S. — A few headlines around MHS: A few seniors have recived their pictures, juniors have finished selling their candy, the Eagles will see action twice this week while playing Union township Friday £nd Roll Saturday, and after Saturday night's game the concessions will be sold by the band instead of the seniors. — M.

vacation. The MHS Christmas vacation starts Dec. 19 and ends January 4. If Santa were to walk down the halls of dear old MHS he would hear many little children planning their Christmas parties and what they want for Christmas. Even the high school students from 9-12 have Christmas parties planned for the exchange of their name gifts. - M.H.S.— Everyone has a- smile and a twinkle in his eye. The halls are all decorated with pictures of Santa, angles, and snowmen. The grade art classes under the direction of Miss Warfield are really decorating their home rooms and I have even donated a large Santa
