NOTES FROM [AFTER THIRTY By Jack Heller p YOU MUST BE KIDDIN* ‘ iJBob Theobald, a senior in Decatur high school who has been ,doing some very fine photography work for the Democrat during the basketball season, was in the office checking on the tournament pittures he was going to take. 'Pete Reynolds was telling Bob (about the type of pictures, and al'so to be sure to check with the 'tournament officials about the flash gun he would use. (It is not permissible to use a flash bulb camera in tournaments, but it is alright to use an electronic (flash). Pete went on to tell the Yellow Jacket football player and ardent fan that for the paper, the most important tournament picture is of the winning team in their dressing room after the championship game. Bob looked a little doubtful, and asked, “even if it’s not the Yellow Jackets?” ' - ; WORKING FOR SUPPER The Mariners club of the Presbyterian church had an unusual box dinner auction last Sunday evening. Since Christinas is not too far in the past, and what with taxes and license plates due pretty soon, the committee in charge felt it was unfair to have a couple pay for the food that went into the dinner, and then have to buy another meal—so the dinners were auctioned off by minutes. A man bid so many minutes for the dinner, and whatever amount won the meal, the winner was obligated to go to the home of the couple that brought the particular box, and work that many minutes at anv task that needed to be done. If the work wasn’t done by the next month's meeting, then a fine would be levied against the person who won the bidding. It was 1 a lot of fun bidding, but it didn’t ' make the meal taste any better to know how it was earned. ■ 30 1 HOW DOES YOUR GARDEN —GROW? Don’tbesurprised if you see Royal Friend spending a lot of time in his yard. Royal was ’ working nights last week, and ’ was spending the days doing some yard work at home. Monday. he was out raking in the yard, and was cleaning up some of the leaves that had blown up against his garage. He was racing up one pale when he noticed something green among the leaves. Closer inspection revealed that it was a lovely one-dollar bill. Much to Royal’s regret, it wasn’t growing, it must have blown in last fall. He would have made a fortune if it had gone to seed. — 30 I SHADES OF ANDY GRIFFITH Orv Reed sent along a clipping ■ he found in a Peru school newspaper that seems very appropriate at this time of year, what with all of the tournament excitement: By Tanee Mullett Woman At Game Sees Unusual Hoosier Sport I had heard so much about “Hoosier Hysteria” that I decided to attend my first basketball game to see what it was all ■ about. Believe me. it was hysterical. Just as I got comfortable, if a hard bench can be comfortable, I saw five bovs come running out on the floor dressed in silk underwear. The crowd must have approved of this sort of thing because they all jumped uo and started cheering. Before I could recover from this shock, here came five more boys into the floor wearing no more than the first ones. Then these boys gathered at opposite ends of the floor and started throwing this big ball at each other. The man beside me

told me that they were warming up. I would be cold too if I didn’t have any more on than they did. While the boys were getting warm, this man asked me if I wanted to be in a pool, and I told him if I felt like swimming, I wouldn’t be here; I’d be at the YMCA. As the game got underway, I asked someone what the object of the game was, and they said, “to get the ball in the basket.” Well, anyone could see that that was silly, because the basket had a hole in the bottom of it and every time they put it in, it fell right back out again. The boys couldn’t seem to make up their mind about which end of the floor they liked best, so they

just kept running- back and forth from one end to, the other. Then, this man, who looked like he just broke dut of jail, blew a whistle and all the boys moved to one end of the' floor. One boy kept holding up his hand to be excused, but no one paid any attention to him I think someone must have finally told them that the baskets weren’t any good because they brought out a ladder and cut down the nets.
