DEEDS AND MISDEEDS DAVE RICE Mr. Rice is the director of the Decatur Junior Band. He has de¬ veloped a fine organization and Central is proud of the fact that quite a few of the band members are from our school. -o-- MISS MORAN After teaching the first semester, Miss Moran was forced to take a leave of absence because of ill health. She spent several weeks in a sanitarium and though much improved in health thought it wise to rest so that she might be fully recovered and ready for next year’s school. The pupils of Room 6 join in wishing for Miss Moran a comp ets recovery of health. -o- FACULTY ADVICE Hhard work has been invented a long time, and in ' a good many thous¬ and years, nobody has ever been able to invent a satisfactory substitute for it.
