In the county tournament Donna Dale Rupp, Marlene McKee, and Richard Coffman (Poetry Reading) were chosen to go to Columbus on March 28 to compete in the State. There the results were most satisfactory for Donna Dale Rupp won a trophy as First in the State in Original Oratory and Marlene McKee also received a trophy as Second in the State in Humorous Declamations. We hope this interest in declamations will continue. You will see in the trophy case evidence that the debate teams did excellent work this year. They won first in the county tournament held at Shreve March 24 and went to Columbus to debate March 28. The subject was-Resolved: That the Federal Government should pro¬ vide a system of complete medical care available to all citizens at public expense. The affirmative team was Russell Stevie and Richard Coffman, and the negative team was Donna Dale Rupp and Donald Sommer. Congratulations.

P. F. A. The Dalton F.F.A. Chapter under the direction of Mr. D. H. Scott started the year by inviting six new mem¬ bers to the Chapter. The boys are working hard this year by having as their projects; 25 acres of corn, 4 sows and litters, 160 reeder pigs, 16 dairy heifers, and 400 broilers. These are owned by the members. Also they are keeping 22 herd records of 255 dairy cows, 7 flock records of 950 laying hens, and 4 farm account books. These are under supervised practice. They also have been helping the community by hold¬ ing pest hunts, helping farmers who are short of labor, and repairing machinery. The members are not burdened with work all the time for they have a basketball team which has been very active in their games and tournament. Part of their social life consists of parties exchanged with the F. H. A. Girls during the year. The officers of the Chapter are as follows: Alvin Buchwalter, President; Donald Moser, Vice-President; Rodney Graber, Secretary; Koah Pluecklger, Treasurer; Harold Galehouse, Reporter; Carl Eberly, Sgt.-at-Arms. SPORTS In previous years Baseball has held the limelight in both spring and fall activities. With the return of Football only spring Baseball Is carried. A schedule of six games was played last spring and then the Bull¬ dogs lost in the semi-final round of the tournament. The team ' s success was due mostly to astrong pitching staff. There seems to be a great deal of interest again this year. Several games have already been scheduled and sev¬ eral more are to be added. The team success must still be determined but we are only waiting until the smack of 1-eather against wood can be heard again, -:s- Track has played a leading role in most of the high schools in Wayne County. Dalton was certainly in the minnlng as this brief summary will tell, Dalton held three preparation track meets, namely: Doyles town Invitational; Doylestown, Smlthvllle, Dal¬ ton; Fredericksburg, Daltoh. We ended in fourth spot in the Invitational, took second In the Tri-School meet and was shaded by several points at Fredericksburg. At the County Meet we poured on the steam and were left in third by several points. Several firsts were taken. David Amstutz - shot put, also setting a new meet record, 41 ft. S-g- in.; Steiner, Str eb, Weygandt, and Sommer - half-mile relay, also setting a meet re¬ cord of 1 min. 40.9 seconds. Herb Nussbaum placed first in mile. Other spots were taken but they are too num¬ erous to be mentioned. Competition for parts in the Senior Play reached a new high this year when try-outs were made for Love Your Neighbor, a riotous farce-comedy by Albert John¬ son. This play has been described as a happy fusion of folk comedy and scintillating, if not sophisticated, h imor. It ' s characters are believable, lovable, and risible. It ' s situations, though dizzy as a Disney pic- ure, are always probable, and in good taste both artis¬ tically and morally.
