Entertain Seniors At All-Night Party A large group of weary graduates trudged home about 5:30 o’<9ock this morning after an early morning full of entertainment provided through the combined efforts of the Decatur Lions club, the Adams theater, four local sororities, Chuck Kester and his “Dixie Cats,” and Dick Linn, manager of the Youth and Community Center. — - Following commencement rites and the graduation dance, the Decatur high school graduates arrived at the Youth Center about midnight, where they spent better than an hour in a general chitchat session and a smorgasbord provided through the combined efforts of four local sororities. Psi lota Xi, Tri Kappa, Beta Sigma Phi, and Delta Theta Tau. Attend Movie At approximately 1:30, the group made their way to the Adams theater where they were the guests of Roy Kalver, who presented “All tlie Fine Young Cannibals,” a motion picture featuring Natalie Wood and Robert Wagner. Following the movie, the group returned to the so-called “Lions Den” at the Youth Center, where they were “returned to the land of the living" by the Decatur Lions and some fine entertainment. Chuck Kester and his “Dixie Cats” got the ball rolling and in a short time, all the grads were joining in the singing. The “Dixie Cats” feature Kester at the piano. Blas Mendez and his guitar, Bob Frar-ze and his trombone, Terry Marker with the trumpet, Manual Mendez and Bob Rice and their saxaphones, and that rotund little man. Bob Mendez,! flailing away at the drums. Magician Stoner Dick Stoner, a professional magician from Fort Wayne, then entertained everyone with about 45 minutes of amazing magic tricks and opened up many of the “heavy eyes” of those present with his astounding feats. Stoner appeared in Decatur last fall, entertaining; at the annual fish fry. The “Happy Birthcay” song was sung to four seniors who just recently had birthdays, and they were given small gifts by the Lions. The Lions members, wide awake by now and really “roaring”, then whipped up a fine breakfast for all who could still see to eat, which was many, surprisingly. So, around 5:30 this morning, with the sun peeking over the horizon, the graduates of Decatur high school wearily made the long journey home for some much needed sleep, after a really enjoyable early morning. The Lions have extended their thanks and appreciation to Dick Linn, manager of the Youth and Community Center, for his service throughout the morning, although reports are that Dick wasn't exactly “wide awake.”

Xls Pilot Seis New Flight Speed Record EDWARDS AFB, Calif. (UPD— Xls pilot Joe Walker flew 3,370 miles an hour Thursday, controlling the rocket plane’s near mile-a-second run with deft wrist movements. His top speed was a new record for the winged, pilot-controled Xls, designed to investigate the bottom side of space. Moved nearer by his success was an all-out flight sometime this summer at speeds of 4,000 m.p.h. in the fringe of space. “Nothing too terrible happened today,” Walker jokingly commented after, flying five times the speed of sound. Broken by Walker's 12-minute flight way the old Xls speed record of 2,074 m.p.h. set April 21 by Maj. Robert White. Walker, 40, already held the Xls altitude mark of 169,600 feet. Walker, unlike Russian and U.S. spacemen, had complete control of his destiny once the Xls was dropped from a 852 bomber flying at 45,000 feet. He used a unique side stick designed for space conditions when gravity forces would keep a pilot from moving his arm to maneuver with the floor-mounted control stick. Forces weren’t great enough on Thursday’s flight to make the use of the side stick—controlled by mere movements of the^„ wristnecessary, but Walker used it in preparation for upcoming flights.
