Everyone in Adams county will be happy to know that those who are guilty of such conduct are now being punished. iney will aiso be happy to know that two recent first ofienders have been placed on probation to the county attendance officer for a school offense. Another truancy charge from a southern Adams county school has also been disposed of, according to reliable information. i „„ ft seems a shame, however, that devious means must be taken to find out whether or not the court is doing the job for which it is commissioned by the people through the laws of the state. The people of Adams—county are entitled to a statistical report on what is done. Names are not necessary. But it is necessary that the public be assured as they are by the above information that those who are expending public funds are not running kangaroo courts for their own political good, when the court should be, according to the juvenile law itself, interested in the good of the child and of the people of the state of Indiana. Neither the child nor the public can be ignored; both must be taken into consideration. The purpose of any court, juvenile, probate or criminal, is to decide and arbitrate disputes between individuals, or between society and individuals. It should not be the purpose of the court to confuse issues, to make mountains out of mole hills. The court should make compound problems into simple solutions; not more complex problems. A court can be judged by the settlements made. Do they satisfy the parties in dispute? Do they uphold justice, and show crimes against society in their true light? When judging the efficiency of a court, beware of allowing personal feelings, engendered by a pleasant greeting, a smile, and handshake, and a few innocuous words, to offset facts concerning number of cases handled, and disposition of the cases. This, after all, is the reason for having courts in our modern society.

The Schoo DECATUR CATHOLIC HIGH By Theresa Laurent
4K
“Vive le queen!" Referring to M i s,s Kathleen "Kathy” Baker, “homeco mi ng queen” of 1955, the students of D. C. H. S. wish queen “Kathy" the happiest of reigns. Miss, Baker was chos-
en from among three other finalists, Dolores Koh ne, Kathleen Kohne, and Judy Koors, to wear the ’59 “homecoming” crown. Half-time intermission of the Com-modore-Spartan game was set aside for the crowning. —D.C.H.S.— Immediately folowing the Commodore game was the annual "homecoming” dance. An oversized "snowman,” together with “icicles,” “snow flake s.” and “smaller snowmen" added color to the festivities. .The crowning of the king, Paul Gross, by the queen, highlighted the evening’s gala events. —D.C.H.S.— To add to the decorum of the evening, the Commodore "crew” presented to the queen their victory over the Pleasant Mills Spartans. Avenging an earlier-season defeat, the local five swung into action and embraced a 72-45 margin. High scorers of th,e squad were Glenn Wilder, Tbm Gross, and Jim Heimann with 23 points, 14 points, and 11 points, fespectiv-ely.-That’s the way to "shoe the horse,” boys. Should you not persist? —D.C.H.S.— Tomorrow night’s tangle with the Pirates of Wolf Lake is the last home game of the 1958-59 Commodore basketball season, and after which only two games remain yet to be played. Go! go! go! team. Make Friday the 13th a “lucky” night. p CHS NOTICE: Next Wednesday’s contest with Arcola will be played at the New Haven gymnasium. —D.C.H.S— Since their pastor suffered a stroke, D.C.H.S. students have been offering special prayers for the Very Rev. Monsignor Seimetz’ recovery—God willing. Before the resumption of each class the students request the help of Our Lady of Perpetual Help, to whom Monsignor has a special devotion. Tuesday, the students participated in a congregational high mass for the Monsignor's intentions. As the centenial of Our Lady’s appearance at Lourdes, a shrine, whiqh, Monsignor visited in 1950, ends this week, won’t you turn to Mary for her intercession? —D.C.H.S—“Remember, man; you are dust, and to dust you will return.” With these words, the priest places ashes on the forehead of a person and reminds that person of death. The theme for the season of lent, which officially opened Wednesday and which will continue through Holy Saturday, is Christian mortification. Your salvation is in your hands. Stick with your lenten resolutions. —D.C.H.S.— Anyone for a swim or perhaps a canoe ride? It’s not the season, but the water is present. Due to swelling waters many students were "forced” to stay at home and “let the rest of the class catch up with them.” How s that for a holiday? Os course, flooding waters is no joke. Here’s hoping damages are stnall and repairable. — —D.C.H.S—DECATUR HIGH By Kathy Schwlta The Decatur

Yellow Jackets lost their eleventh game of the season Friday night as the Portland Panthers defeated them 81-68. Despite the 13-point margin at the end of the game, the Jackets kept
the score close until the middle of the fourth quarter, but could not outscore the Panthers. — D. H. S. — Friday afternoon during the activity period, John Doan talked to the sophomores, juniors, and seniors about safety while driving. A movie about safe driving followed. This program would* have been very interesting, but the discipline during the program wasn’t up to par. Let’s all do our best to have better discipline in our next assembly. — D. H. S. — Indianapolis or bust! Six thirty Monday morning will be the starting time for the seniors to leave Decatur high school for Indiana- , polls. The entire class will visit the state house .and see how the legislature works. After the visit to the state house is over, the group will- be free until 4 o'clock. Part of the group will take a tour of the medical center and the remaining ones will no doubt go ‘Window shopping”. The class should arrive back in Decatur about 7 o’clock Monday evening. D. H. S Bill Bischoff introduced Glen L. Morris during activity period Monday” to the student body. Mr. Morris then prfesented a science program entitled ‘‘On the Beam”. The purpose of the program was to point out the importance of learning to the students. He said that good students develop the habit of.

•7 Reporter asking questions until they get satisfactory answers. Alice Alwein and Bill Bischoff assisted Mr. Morris in some of his experiments. This program was thoroughly enjoyed by the students. — D. H. S, — Don’t forget to get your ticket for the Garrett-Decatur game. Tickets will not be sold after school Friday, so besure to get yours before then. Tickets for students are 40 cents and adults 75. — D. H. S. - About two weeks ago the band ' elected student directors. Ron Feller and Mike Kaehr were chosen as student directors for this year. Congratulations, boys! We know you will do a good job. — D. H. S. — The Jacket Journal will be distributed to the student body Friday after school. Hus is the Valentine issue. Look for you and your steady’s name on the front page. French students be sure and look for a special column devoted to you alone. — D. H. S. - Friday night the Jackets travel to Garrett to meet the Railroaders in an N.E.I.C. game. Dus is the last conference game for the Jackets. Let’s support our team and have a big crowd. Beat those Railroaders! — D. H. S. — MONMOUTH HIGH By John Fuhrman

Congratualtions, kids! During the past two weeks, students' from our band and choir have entered the district N. 1.5.8.0. I V.A. vocal and' instrumental lo and ensemble' coh tests. Two weeks ago Nyla
Girod, Kenny Fuhrman, and Marsha King received excellent rating and Winifred Rafert and John Fuhrman, superior ratings, with vocal solos. The same week, Sharon Harkless received an excellent rating with a piano solo, and Ronald Habegger, an excellent with a violin solo. —M.H.S.— A week ago, the instrumental contests were held. Superior ratings went to Nyla Girod, Jeanie Cook, Roger Spencer, and the brass ensemble composed of Gene Kalthoff, Terry Marker, Roy Fuhrman, David Caston, and John Fuhrman. —M.H.S.— Accomjwnists and coaches are . to be uetignized, too. Many of us take the work for granted that out accompanists and directors do, However, we should be quite grateful to the people who helped the soloists along to their outstanding , showing for the school. These people are Darrell Gerig, Linda Kruetzmann, Jeanie Cook, Ruth Ann Beery, Mrs. Norval Fuhrman, and Mrs. Wilfred Rafert. —M.H.S.— Friday night the Eagles met the Hoagland Wildcats and went down in defeat. Better luck next game, boys—keep trying. —M.H.S.Also Friday night four of our majorettes gave a twirling exhibition at half time. The girls who I participated were: Lila Kruetz- ‘ mann, Barbara Fuhrman, Betsy ‘ Schnepf, and Sally Schnepf. , —M.H.S.— What is this; a girls’ basketball team? This question was heard < last week since the girls in “third s period physical ed” have been playing basketball occasionally. Really, they aren’t so bad at it j either. f —M.H.S.— i Senior speech students have all ( had the thrill of delivering a ten- j minute oration on the constitution ( —(some more, some less). The ] experience has been a very good < one. ] —M.H.S.— 1 MONROEVILLE HIGH By Jane Wyss ;

“That’s O. K.!i That’s alright! Come on team, let’s fight!’ Fight! Friday night was a dis-’ heartening one for the Monroeville Cubs at Adams Central, where they Suffered a 52-50
defeat. It was indeed, an exciting game, and both teams played superbly on defense and offense. Wayne Ertel led the Cubs with 14 points, followed by Cagnet with 10. —M.H.S.— The seniors have released their latest edition of their school paper, * '‘The Cub Crier.” Perfection is our ‘ igdal, we sincerely believe it ' can be reached through co-opera-tion and teamwork. A well-deserv-ed “thanks” is extended to those seniQrs who have worked so zealously to make'its edition possible. —M.H.S.— The seniors are proud to an- , nounce the coming presentation of “Our Town’’, a three-act play by Thornton Wilder. Nancy Hart and James Castleman are the leading actors, with Miss Jean Warfield directing. Lacking scenery, emphsis is placed on the imagination s and the ideas which the play hopes • to ofer.
