Have you bought your ticket yet for the junior class play? “The Unguided Miss** will be presented in the D.H.S. gym Friday night at 8 o’clock. This three act eom-l

edy. directed by Miss Weidier, promises to be very enjoyable. See you there! — D. H. S. — The Yellow Jackets were defeated in a dual track meet at New Haven last Thursday. Tim Murphy took the only first place honors for Decatur except the half-mile relay, which D.H.B. also won. — D. H. fe. — The girls volleyball team was the victor over Monmouth last Thursday in a game at that school. D.H.S. defeated Monmouth in the first meeting of these schools in a volleyball contest. Monmouth will be given a chance to everf the score in the near future. — D. H. S. — On Monday night, the girls volleyball team once again won a series of games from the Catholic team at that school. The D.C.H.S. team, very much improved from last year, competed in the county meet Tuesday night. It provided a good practice for them. — D. H. S. — The baseball team is now selling tickets for the home schedule for games at Worthman's field.' Tickets are only 35 cents; let’s support our team by first buying a ticket and then attending the games. — D. H. S. — The first period home ec class prepared its own dinner Wednesday. The girls divided into groups and planned their own meals. They made plans for everything at the first of the week. At least these girls will eat there own cooking! I — D. H.

sth In a Series of Messages Paid for By a Group of Local People Interested in WHAT’S BEST FOR DECATUR AND IT’S CITIZENS. New Industry and Electric Service Every store owner, restaurant proprietor, druggist, barber—in fact, EVERYONE in Decatur and its fringe areas—knows what a new industry would mean to the city’s economy. __- # But in our present situation there is little chance that an industry of any size will choose to locate in our city. The major deterent is an inadequate, undependable supply of electric power. Modern industry requir es huge blocks of electric power — DEPENDABLE, RELIABLE electric power—in its operations. An interruption in service of even a few minutes can seriously affect a big industry in its unit-price battle with competition. City Light, now or in the future, can NOT give Decatur the kind of quality electric service that modern industry demands. Conversely, I&M can give an industry of any size all the electric power it requires, and construct and maintain the facilities to assure its DEPENDABILITY. And don’t overlook the fact that I&M maintains a full-time staff of industrial development personnel, constantly searching for prospective new industry and eager to “sell” industry to the communities it serves' ssk Kendallville, where the first new industry in the past ten years located after I&M began serving the city; talk to the people of Berne, Butler and Ligonier, all of whom have welcomed new industries in the past few years largely as the result of the efforts of I&M. A vote to SELL CITY LIGHT means:- ll lower faxes, a debt-free Decatur, “QUALITY” electric service, and an unlimited supply of electric power for community growth and prosperity.

- Fish! Fisht! Fish! There will be plenty of fish this Friday night at the Monmouth band] parents' fish fry. I Everyone is in-| vited to come! and eat all he] can. The event, will last from 4:30 to 8 p. m.

Music will be played by the band and soloists at 6 and again at 7 for entertainment. Prices? Adults, 81.25; children, 75 cents, and preschool children are admitted free. -M.H.S.— Last Monday morning, a very interesting talk and question and answer period was brought to the students of M H.S. The young man whom we were privileged to have w;th us was Peter Frederick, an exchange student from Germany who is now a student at Decatur high school. His visit was sponsored by our local F.H.A. chapter in the interest of better international relations. —M.H.S.— Speaking of the F.H.A., this is national F.H.A. week. A committee. consisting of Jean Kolter, Kay Bultemeier, and Jeanie Cook, decorated, veay beautifully, the bulletin board in our upper hall. On it has been placed some of the activities in which the F.H.A. participated to receive their honor chapter citation. These are: a talk by the Rev. O. C. Busse to promote international good will, an F.H.A. dance, Thanksgiving day baskets, and Christmas cookies for the

county home. Our juniors must certainly be talented in dramatics. Their play, a three-act comedy entitled "Meet Me at the Prom,” was quite a success. We mustn’t, however, forget those who furnished entertainment between acts. These people were Jim Thieme (master of ceremonies), Linda and Lila Kruetzman, Kent Girod, Kenny Fuhrman, and Nancy Fuhrman. Accompanists were Linda Kruetzman and Jeanie Cook. —M.H.S.—Wednesday, April 8, was the time; Happy Hours Roller Rink, the place; and the freshmen skating party was the event. Everyone who attended had a good time even though a few bruises may have resulted. —M.H.S.— Only ten days left! Comments of this type are heard quite frequently from seniors, since they are “counting the days” until April 19, when they board the train for their trip to Washington, D.C. —M.H.S.— MONROEVILLE HIGH by Jane Wyss .
