hardly wait. D.C.H.S. — The freshmen recently welcomed * a new member to their class, William Winchester. Willie previously attended Decatur Catholic when he was in the third grade, but since that time he has attended a Fort Wayne grade school and began his high school education at Bishop Luers in Fort, Wayne. All the students of DCHS welcome you, Willie. v —D.C.H.9.— A pot luck supper for the band members, their parents, and others interested in the school band, was held last Tuesday. After the supper the band entertained the guests with a concert. Mr. Heimann, the band .director, spoke of the aims and of some of the problems of the band. —D.C.H.S.— Woe to the Commodores! We seem to be lacking something! This is quite evident from the scores of our last few games. Our school spirit is good and you have the pep club behind you, so—Go, Commodores! Go! Our next game will be played- with Hoagland December 15, here. —DCHS.— Is it a secret? Perhaps some do not yet know that-John Kohne and Fred Zintsmaster are working on projects for the science fair.

We hope you are making good progress on your projects. —D.C.H.S.— The December issue of the HiLight will soon be mailed.

We hope they will give us a concert soon. - —D.C.H.S.— “Early in the morning at 7:15, hardly a man is there to be seen, save for the juniors in typing, I mean.” It is true, but also known around school that these ambitious students do not mind sacrificing 40 winks for their typing class. It seems that the typing I elass was so large that it had to be divided. Because of the change in the schedule this year, the only avail-, able time for one of the classes was at 7:15. Practically every junior has attained a perfect one-min-ute writing. The highest are as follows: In the morning class: Joanne Loshe 44, Ann LaFontaine 42. In the afternoon class: Kathy Hain 51, Carole Kable 49, and Russell Bowers 47. —D.C.H.S.- - DECATUR HIGH By Alice ABwein

Here is the report from the three students j from Hoagland j who attended the Purdue legisla-! ture. The representatives left Hoagland at 10:30 a. m. and arrived and

checked in at Union Hall at 2:30 p.m. Having arrived four hours before necessary we toured downtown Lafayette and the General Telephone company. After opening the assembly we went to our individual committee meetings. Mama Metheny was the representative in “House B” and also a member of the public policy committee. Elaine Scheumann was the senator and a member of the labor committee. Sue Shive was the extemporanous speaker. The subject which she was given to discuss was about the United States and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics combining aid to give to under-developed countries. During the Friday evening session the various committees constructed ! bills to be presented in Saturday’s i session. Saturday, debate was held on the various bills, amendments were made, and a final draft was passed. These are to be sent to the Indiana state legislature to show the members there what Indiana’s young future voters are thinking. The three representatives think that the assembly was interesting

and educational. —H.H.S.— Friday. December 4, Hoagland had a big disapointment when they were defeated by Leo, 57-48. The Wildcats just weren’t up to par. Stan Behrman and Bob Saalfrank showed the best “point-making” skill when the chipped in 12 an 11 points, respectively. This defeat took our classification as the second place team in the ACAC to the fifth place team. —H.H.S.— The Wildcats' chances to regain the ownership of second place in the ACAC ratings will be given to them Friday, when the mighty Cats clash againts the Huntertown ! Wildcats who are now owners of that second place. Your chances are at stake, Wildcats, so let’s take that V-I-C-T-O-R-Y. —H.H.S.— "I just hate mine” or “That doesn’t even look like me” will probably be heard throughout the senior class, if someone will listen long enough, Wednesday, when the seniors receive their pictures. All the seniors are hoping the photographer will do the best possible with their “old faces.” —H.H.S.— The band boosters sponsored another chili supper before the ballgame Friday night. The profit from this and the sock hop, which was after the game, Will help the band to obtain a baritone saxophone and other new instruments. A fraction of the money will finish payment for the uniforms. —H.H.S.— The members of the choir and glee club are getting more of the Christmas spirit since they have started rehearsing for the Christmas program which will be presented Friday, December 18, the last day of school before Christmas.
