COUNTY CHAMPS The Wildcats and all the Wildcat fans really went wild the night that the Clinton five took the County tourneys. Full of spirit and ready to go Clinton made Newport the first victim of the tourney. On went the Cats rolling over Hillsdale; then, Perrysville tasted defeat. The Ver- million County Basketball Championship added another bright and shining trophy to the collection. Sixteen determined teams entered competition at the Indiana High School Sectional Basket- ball Tourneys, but only one of these teams could win. Our very own Wildcats defeated Bridge- ton's Raccoons in our first game. Our next game saw us pitted against Rockville's Rox, and we came out of the fray again victorious. After cooling off Rosedale's Hotshots, we went into the fi- nals and conquered Bloomingdale. The fans cheered as cameras flashed while the team watched the birdie. On to the Regionals C. H. S. was the student body's cry, but the Wildcats ran into a little stiffer competition. SECTIONAL WINNERS SENIORS Compliments of. HARRIS FOOD STORE Page 9

For the third consecutive year the C. H. S. Band, assisted by the Band Boosters and the entire school, held its carnival on the night of November 19. The goal of $ 1,000 was reached for the first time since the carnival was started. The $1,009.02 profit will be used by the band for its many expenses. The Band Carnival was both an entertaining and profitable event. Page 8 Compliments of: GAMBLE STORE 500 SERVICE STATION

DIANA DONALD, MARTHA LUCAS, DARRELL MAZURA, CAROL RIFE No matter how hard it was for Mother and Poppy Rose to make ends meet, they could never say no to a homeless child. Janey, who just didn't know how to belong, and Jimmy John, who is not only a problem child, but who wears braces on his legs, are the two latest acquisitions. As they shift to make room for them, tragedy strikes in their hectic but happy existence. Poppy succumbs to a heart attack. Joey decides to give up medical school and get a job, but Mother puts her foot down on that idea. The operations, which enable Jimmy John to walk, drain the family income and Mother decides to sell the Pumpkin shell, the ocean cottage. Jimmy John, overhearing Mother talking to Mrs. Biddle about the sale, runs away. The children bring him back and then, like a sudden burst of sunshine Mother sells her story based on Jimmy John. This provided a happy ending to the money worries of the Rose family. Page 10 Compliments of: MIKE'S MOTOR COMPANY
