Milford School News By EARLEEN FISHER Intrigued by some of the ingenious bulletin board displays in MHS, I traversed the halls of our institution of higher learning and perused aforesaid displays. My first stop was Mrs. Marquart’s room. The focal point of her board are the spelling charts. A large grey sheet of paper bears the heading ““Ycur slip is showing.” Below is a list of names of misspelled words. Next to this was a pit under a dungeon. Those students who missed five to nine words landed in the dungeon. ; Those who persevered even less and missed ten or more words ’ 1 were thrown into the pit. Next was Mr. Dorsey’s room J The most prominent display on! his bulletin board is a giant-size chart of the county tourney draw- ■ ings. scores, and results — net at j all surprising in the room of the ! assistant coach. Mr. Beiswanger’s room Jis a> wild conglomeration of calanders, ■ cartoons, information for term pa- • pers and historical data. Next to' j a calander bearing the likenesses 1 of the thirty-five presidents were pfr-dfalf clozen black, white and I orange cartoons and articles about Grant. Kennedy, Johhl son and General Lee. • I sauntered into the library. Amidst a medley of bookjackets is this cryptic message: ESE HAT’S I NEW. As Mrs. Haab was not at hand to interpret, I cannot offer i any translation. Downstairs. I entered the room shared by Mrs. Phend and Mr. Hullinger. Mrs. Phend’s bulletin board was adorned with the works of "her high school art class. Mr. Hullinger’s beard displays several . maps. I I entered Mr. Cole’s sixth grade i room, asked if I could look at the ■ bulletin board, and he told me to ' do anything with it I wished. On bulletin board 1 are such games as “King Henry I decreed the distance from the point of his nose to the end of his thumb was the lawful yard.” “Sixteenth Century i — The lawful rdd w-as the length of the left feet of sixteen men as . they left church on Sunday mom- ; ing.” On bulletin board 2 are a ■ score or so of drawings unefisr the j title “Our Aft,” followed by a\yery i large question mark. On bulletin board 3 against a coal black background were myriads of j five-pointed stars. Mr. Colq dem--1 onstrated how to fold a sheet of paper to make a five-pointed star with a snip of the scissors. He confessed, however, that he had to call on Mr. Kitson to interpret the instructions. Next stop — the room shared i by Mrs. Kneeland and Mr. Thompi son. On the north bulletin board ; are maps of South Dakota and l Wyoming. On the south bulletin board is a picture of the Indian Chief Pontiac. Mrs. Snyder (sixth grade) had j posted several precise drawings of “hair follicles amidst art w’ork. Farther downstairs — Mrs. Arthur’s home ec. room. She has a 1 clever display illustrating the i fleeting security of money with the J captions “Does money fly out of your purse?” and “Rope that monkey and save it!” The science room’s display is quite meticulous, looking as if each article had been placed with , the accuracy of a micrometer. Mr. Kitson’s board looks as precise and I ; cold as he appears to people like! i me who don’t have him as a teach- : | er. Members of his «class declare 1 ' otherwise. ! ’ Last on the agenda was Mr. : ! Strouse's ag. room. He had just i finished tearing his display ddwn. I but he obligingly dug it out to | show it to me. There were a series . of charts showing the rise and | faH4n the prices of commodities, i > including: hogs, corn? eggs, soy-1 | be an£ I SENIOR OF THE WEEK > JEFFREY ALAN DIPPON [ Jeff is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Delbert Dippon.

SENIOR NEWS BY SALLY KELLER Now we’re really heading into the last stretch of high school. We handed in a list of our activities in four years of high school this week for the annual. Have you seen Dane Rumfelt driving around in his new maroon Chevelle? It’s really sharp. Group pictures were taken the seventeenth. Most of them consisted of a front row of seniors. Our boys received their athletic awards Marion Groves. Tom Holderread, and Jon Dewart received jackets? Jack McClintic and Mike Zimmerman received sweaters. The students who went to the NFL speech contest at Ball • State left with Pierceton at six o'clock. Most of us had to rise and shine by 4 A. M. It rather cramped our style for a Saturday morning.

JUNIOR NEWS By PAM PHENO The juniors have been especially busy studying for the semester exams. In English we’re strugI gling with noun, adjective, and ad? i verb clauses, and dangling partiI ciples. Here is an example of a ■ dangling participle: "Hanging I from the ceiling I saw a fly”. It sounds funny—but who was hanging from the ceiling —I or the fly? Do you know how to solve a problem with three equations and three unknowns? This is probably one type of problem which will be lon our Algebra II exam. The twoequation problems with two unknowns weren’t too hard. But I hope there is no such thing as a four-equation problem with four ' unknowns! I We are wejl -educated on the Gettysburg Address. We were recently required to memorize it for history class. Before -we memorized it. the Gettysburg address was just some speech which began ‘ "Fourscore and seven years ago ...” After learning and studying it. the Gettysburg Address took on new meaning and more of us were able to understand it.. SOPHOMORE NEWS By Jane E. Baumgartner This being the week of exams all the sophomores are studying diligently. In a class meeting we had last week we decided we will go to Pokagon state park sometime in February. We did not have a class party our first semester so we will be allowed two next semester. The sophomores will have a i coat check Friday night at our home game. Be sure to bring your coats! » Eight sophomore girls attended the speech contest at Ball State. The divisions were: poetry - Jo Ellen McClintic, Connie Biller, and Brenda Wilson; humorous - Susanne Dewart, Carol Chambers, and Jane Baumgartner; dramatic - Judy Beer and Linda Beer.
