The boys have held o paper drives and have llected 17,110 pounds of per. Part of the pro- eds were used to purchase tree sprayer. The rest of ie money is to be used to . inance a crop project. 've acres have been rented produce tomatoes and soy- ans. This plot is to be ' t on an experimental basis. The Vocational Agriculture boys of the llth d 12th grades studied tree fruits among other bjects the last semester. Realizing that exe rience is the best teacher, the boys renovated ,old orchard of about a dozen trees. 'This.tree -an example of the project which confronted the ys. .Such work as thinning, cutting back, and ing out dead wood was included. Since scale. s'quite prevalent a spray schedule was started. During shop the boys have learned how to e and care for the ordinary shop tools. ' ojects constructed include farm gates, pig coders, gas tank stands, end tables, what- ts, work benches, two-wheeled trailers, bee vesland shop tool cabinets. New equipment ded to the shop this year includes a power w and drill. Since farming is continually ' coming more mechanized the addition of such uipment enables the boys to be better train- ' to meet the needs of tomorrow. The boys of the-eighth grade have taken an introductory course in riculture. Such a course gives them an appreciation of the many possible cations in this field. ,The fundamental principles of livestock, dairy und ain judging have been studied. Judging not only teaches the student to lect the proper kind of livestock, but also directs his attention,to the' lue of close observation and trains him to be able to express the con- usions at which he arrives. ' - As a part of the Vocational Agriculture Program the farmers of Union, d Niles Townships held an Evening School on the subject UHogs and Soy- ansW. During the ten meetings 55 farmers enrolled with an average tendance of 17. i ' ' ' EAW Mi DELAWARE . e . The Eaton Lions Club presented David Riebeling and Thomas-Crooks each a trophy. These two boys were selected by a com- mittee as outstanding members of the Senior and Junior 4-H Clubs from the stand- point of achievements. The County Livestock Judging Contest was won by Howard Waite, David Riebeling, Bob Crooks and Bill Huffman. This team was presented a loving cup by the Muncie A Morning Star. Since this was the second time Eaton-has won the cup - it-becomes their permanent possession. Bob- Crooks was the high scoring individual in the contest and' was awarded a 35.00 war stamp . BOYS 4-H CLUB Bill Knote and Dick Culberson have given their 4-H demonstration, WAn Electric Pig Broodern to the Farm Bureau mem- .bers of each tounship in the county.

EATON GYM FLOOR REFINISHED The fans md students of Eaton now have a gym floor of which we may be proud. when the Job is finished we will have one of the best floors in Delaware County. If the work progresses as now planned we should be able to get on the floor in about two weeks. There are still a few black spots to be removed by hand. There will then be three coats of gym floor seal applied, and these will have to dry and set before lt can be used. John Stiles, who ls doing the work, states that thls ls the hardest wood he has ever sanded down. This ls the first time the floor has been sanded in years. Let's all take our share of responsibility ln keeping this floor in good shape. This type of work and material runs into a sizable amount of money and the trustee, Raymond Gibson, ls do- ing his best to give us a good floor. We plan ,to have ropes across the ends of the floor and we ask that no one cross them and go onto the playing floor as lt must be preserved. NEW CAFETERIA EQUIPMENT The cafeteria has purchased new equipment, which was made possible by the governmentthrough the War Administration Board. Mrs.. Boggy, Mrs. Cole, Mrs. Kabrlck and Mr. Gibson helped select the new equipment. . They ordered a 20 cubic foot refriger- ator costing S575 and a Hcbard Electric Mixer with a meat grind- er attachment at 8510. -Several smaller articles were purchased such as trays, ple plates, forks, 'spoons, soup bowls, dish pans, towels and sauce bowls at approxi- mately 8275. The equipment ls expected ln the near future. MAGAZINE SALES The High Schoul students en- joyed as their speaker, September 19, in front of the assembly- Charles F. Rutledge. He was here to represent the Curtis Magazine Company, publishers of the Satur- day Evening Post, Jack and Jill, Ladies Home Journal, and Country Gentleman. Last year we contested against Albany and won as an award a silk flag which was presented in front of the assembly. The goal last year was set !brS400. We took ln 3406, and out of this we paid the company 3251. The school profit amounted to 3150.94 which was used toward the purchase of a movie projector for the school. Mr. Rutledge, ln his talk stressed how important paper was for war materials and stated that only 5 percent of the paper is used for magazines. For the magazine sales this year Miles Jackson, last year's high salesman, was cmmen manager. The high school was divided into two teams. Margaret Collins was chosen leader of the 8-lO and 12th. grades and Lois Watt for the 7-9 and llth. grades. The profit this year will be used to finish paying for ,the movie pro- Jector.

EATON SCHOOL DAY BY DAY Friday, September 1, 1944 Today many intsrgetic students enrolled in Eaton High School. Two new and very attractive faces appeared on the high ' school faculty this year. They are Elizabeth Kercnavel, music ins- tructor, and Martha Boggy, home economics instructor. lr. Hall, the coach, whom we thought we were going to lose last year, is back with us, making his second year at Eaton. I'm sure it doesdt make any of the students a bit unhappy. The student body really appreciated the enthusiasm and cooperation he portrayed last year. seventh graders were filled with excite- ment upon entering a new, strange world--the assembly! The ever prominent Iggsdgy, Sgptembgr Q This was an ideal day for be- ginning the nold routine.' When entering the assembly, every student was wearing a smile from ear to ear. Even the teachers-- lmagine tnat???? Before the day was over we had a few frowns, be- cause of class conflictsg -and on some lips--'I dldn't get the teacher 1 wehted.' With the co- operation of lr. Gibson, the faculty, and students, most dif- ficulties have been straightened Out . gasps EIQLQI , Sggtembgg Q This is the date that everyone has been eagerly awaiting all summer. 'When lr. Gibson wrote the announcement on the black- board, Yearl:ooks to be del1versd,' everyone was overjoyed. Each of us can say that they were worth waiting for. Ihugsday, September 7 Almost one week has passed now and every morning, noon, and night, we near' Hielpi Help! Hslp!,' coming from lr. Gibson. lr. Butterfield needed help bad- ly to get the tomatoes on their way. Eaton High School students were 'rarln' to do their part and did lt. During the summer vacation most every studmxt ex- posed himself to some essential industry., Some even worked on themselves. For instance, one of the WBlond Sirens' of the Senior Claes got a touch of the 'G. I. Pug' and shortened her hair. Feature this--the boys have let their hair grow a Ifew inches, Some grew a little both horizantally and vertically. lr. Gibson announced today that we would be seated in the morning. A majority of the students were anxious to get their permanent seats, but than the romancers were very much against it, knowing that they would be separated for a few periods a day. CI think there are a few left, at least one couple- who usually come in late each morning.l Eriday, September 8 This morning Irs. Wallace and lrs. Gregory seated the ninth to twelfth grades. lr. Hall and lr. Addington seated the seventh and eighth grades. As a whole everyone likes his seat. One' poor little Senior girl was left entirely out of the seating, so they gave her what was left-- a seat in the freshman section. After waiting eleven years to sit ln the last row, that would be murdertt! lggday, geptember ll ' The first period today, the exceedingly bright, and what's more very dignified seniors marched up the isles to Room 19. With lr. Gibeon's assistance, their' class was organized and officers were elected. Mr. Gibson Just announced that Mrs. Wallace wouldn't be here till noon. Wonder what hap- pened to her? Monday always seems to drag, because everybody acts as if he didn't get enough sleep over the weekend. Really there are two complete days and nights to do nothing but sleep, that is if you don't have a lot of assignments to prepare. This very seldom happens!!! Tuesday, September 12 We were to have a game with Center today but since it rained all day it was postponed. Today' was one of those days when you wish you were home in bed. To makelt worse, Mr. Gibson announc- ed that there wouldbs an assembly program which meant we couldn't attend classes! Ha! Hs! Ha! As if we cared!!!! Convocation was better than anticipated. We had a very ln- terestlng person with us today, Mr. James Klndig, the-evangelist. Assisting him were his wife and the Reverend Elmer Polk. Mr. Kindig played an unusual instru- ment, the hand saw'and also sang uShip Ahoy.' He gave an interest- ing talk. lOne thing he said got me confused though.J He said, 'The good students use plenty of midnight oll.' Some students may use midnight oil, but not always for studying. Neverthe- less, he was enjoyed by all. The Junior Classfbrains 'ofthe entire school! elected their of- ficers today in History Class with Mr. Gibson assisting. As I looked into the library today, I saw Annaruth Robinson and Miss Cochran putting up books which is very encouraging, since some of them are new. Mr. uibson announced today that there would be a contribu- tion from each class for the service nonor holl which is being built on the lndiana General service grounds. YDS sophomores organized their clsss the sixth period in noom lu and mrs. Laxollette is going to take the responsibility of them. Ihis afternoon at 2:50, nston went out on the field for a ball- game with Uenter. before the season opened several rumors were being spread about that we were going to have a terrible team this year. lt looked to me as if they were playing pretty good ball ending the game with a score of 13 to 3. hiebeling pitched 51 innings, noherts,5 and Meyers ll. Joe elliott hit 5 out of 3 and roe hit 2 out of 2. Twenty-one boys were used in all and the crowd was outstanding in sports- manship. yhggsday, ggptgmber 14 l've heard of seventh graders attending the wrong classes or maybe forgetting to go to class, but when wands Lowry, a senior, got into home -sc. instead ,cf typing, that took the CMS- rhat's what felling in love does for a person. l overheard a conversation between mrs. sastman and MP. Gibson today about her being un- able to get gas, endif she didnlt maybe that would mean all ner passengers and she would not be able to come out here and teach. The rationing board wouldn-t do a thing like that to us would they? uene roe was accused of munDEh today, the eighth period. while mrs. wallsce was reading some short stories written by the Juniors, uene was chasing a litde innocent mouse around the english room. After he had finally suc- ceeded in catching it, and by the tail, mind you, he hard heartily lsld lt on the floor, brought down his number thirteens, crush- ed the poor little creature to death, and proceeded to toss it out of the window. Believe it or not????? Providing you stay not longer seconds, put all cos- your face and not on than five matics on the wall, polish it after each using, and when you mend lt if it cracks look into it--you may use Mrs. Eastman's mirror in the Typing Room. Better get in line, girls Friday, geptember 15 The first period the class treasurers finished taking up me collection for the Service Honor Roll Board. Mr. Gibson announced the seventh, eighth, and nlnth grade sponsors. Mr. Addington sponsors the seventh, Mr. Hall, the eighth and Mr. Ross, the . ninth grade. They will organize their classes Monday morning. Kate Wall has deserted E. H.S. She is wearing an Albany basket- ball eweater. She can't do that to use . At 2:50 Eaton again went out on the ball diamond to play with their 'ole cous1n,' Royerton. Then ls when things began to get hot. The boys held them back all the way. Our boys should take a tip from them--never get over- optomistlc. Each and every play- er did an outstanding Job. Mopday, September 18 Mr. Gibson announced today that the positions on the paper staff would be open for voluhteers. The'Jun1or High students had class meetings and elected of- ficers. ' Mr. Rutledge, from the Curtisa Publishing Company, was spokes- man the sixth period today.

Miles Jackson was chosen manager of the magazine sales campaign, since he did an outstanding job last year. Tuasds1..5s2Lamh9L.l2 Again today we were dismissed at 2:40 for s ball game with Selma.

Bo you see if the seniors can't do it, the Juniors can, if they can't do it the sophomores can and from there it is up to those 'wlry' freshmen. Good-luck, Freshmen! Carry on through your four most exciting years ahead and may they be very successful. The season was opened by a booming game versus Center from which came victory for us. Too bad, Center, the new year was 14 to was apparent by the. end but we had to start out right! The score O.

I this game I'm sure that the, student body and even the faculty realized what good ball you boys can play after you once getln the 'gnxue.' It seemed that Royerton got in swing of the game first. This never worried us for as long as there is an inning left there is a chance to win. 'Never Give Up' is a good motto to have. Bhall we make it ours? we wantto congratulate Meyers, Huffman and Elliott for bringing in the last and most welcome three runs which put us 'over the tcp' by a margin of15 to 4.

Too bad his pitching orsemen Sports Activities career has started so latelll' Huffman had a little tough luck. Ask him what the out come of the best hit he ever got was. The baseball season has pushed further onward as we entered into a most dazzling and disgusting game at Desoto on Friday the 22nd The game started off in sort of a slow dreamy way but you know how the Norsemen in the olden days sailed. The boat would sail gradually out from shore but after they got out into the ocean where there was a gale of wind, it was fairly smooth and fast sailing unless .they ran into a slight storm or obstacle. Well, we have a right to keep up the traditions. It took us a while to get into a path of wind but from there on sailing was 'rugged X' No, Desoto wasn't the storm or obstacle we ran into. It was a much smaller thing than that! By the way, Desoto, what ,were those things that seemed to be planted right below the surface of the ground and have the magnitlsing power of pushing the ball up into, the sky after it had once hit the ground?lll j Although the game ended up with Desoto leading 9 to B, we want to say you are a good team to play. We are ,hoping we may have the opportunity to play you here at home before the season closes and show just what tech- niques we really do possess. Just between you and us, Desoto, don't you think a rule book would make an excellent gift for someone who ls interested in baseball?? How about going fifty- fifty with us and buying one? Of course, we need not say who the receiver would be for we have no definte person in mind. Another hlghllghtof the season took place on Tuesday the 26th, with Parker playing here. I must say it was a very complicated and confusing game at times. When Parker's left-handed pitcher was on the mound and one of our left- handed batters was at the plate, ,you ,notu only had to sto and , P ...- study whether the batter was left handed but you would have to look at your hands to decide and even then you still would be'puzz1ed. The excitement of the game seemed to come ln spurts, just like a leaky faucet. One inning would be running over with excitement while the next two or three would be very dry. The game ended though in more of an arousing state. When in the first of the seventh inning, Parker brought in four runs, it made us begin to be more sober and think more seriously. All ends well that begins well so at the end of the game the score was 9 to 8 with Eaton leading. Not only nas the varsity team been active this year but the nJun1or High team has also been participating in a few games and are showing that not all the good baseball players are on the varsity. Yet their unexperlence ls a slight handicap to them which was obvious in their first game at Royerton on september the 21Bte With Fred Elliott as pitcher and Bill Thomas as catcher, Eaton showed Royerton how to play ball for s while. At the first of the fifth inning the score was 10 to 5. I guess our boys were so thrilled by the score that they thought the game was practically over and forgot to score anymore after Royerton BOT- USM PUBS bringing the score for thpm 'and making it ll to 10 thus ending the game that way. have a chance to haven't layed down Royerton will come 28 and we are sure that the Junior High team has our support.

In- stead of dread, however, there should be a feeling of gayety, so why csn't we make this Halloween season the best for everyone? Halloween Wfunn does not have toinclude those pranks which lead to the destruction of property. In the first place, our boys are fighting in a great war. The least we can do is help preserve what they are fighting for--our. country and everything in it. Also, extra time and materials, of whichwehave a limited amount, have to be used hxmaking repairs. Think what would be saved if everyone did his part during one Halloween season! , Besides, many genuine good times can be enjoyed without harm to anyone. A masquerade party provides no end of enjoyment with all its weirdness of ghosts, witches, black cats, and'Jack-o- lanterns, not forgetting, of course, the usual array of fancy costumes. ' With these facts ln dnd, let's tell coo erate in makin this P 8 year's Halloween season one of pleasure and not one of destruc- tion. M 'FORMER E.H.S.

Fred Elliott and Bill Thomas were the losing pitcher and catcher respectively for the Norsemen. FINAL PITCHERS' RECORD , LP. A.B. H. R.

Mr. Gibson was consulted about the council ruling and he agreed to the arrangement but suggested. that the periods should be limit- ed to ten or fifteen minutes eadm The suggestion was acceptable to the council: consequently, the yell leaders have planned to pre- sent new material at each week's first pep meeting.

The idea of the organization is nota place to come for friend- ship, fun, and complalntsg but for parents and teachers to get better acquainted and solve prob- lems arising in the school which are of common interest to both, The following officers were elected: Pres1dent-Bern1cefH1eb- ellngg Vice-President -- Hildreth Vanceg Treasurer -- Vula Cruea. Roscoe Hall, Arza Vance, and John Blair acted as judges and counted the votes. Hr. Gibsonwas elected co-ordl- nator to work asa steward officer between faculty and parents. A moving picture entitled 'South .of' the Border' was shown the latter all of us to give-a little extra thought to our democratic methods of 'education as an extensive Amer1can.enterpr1ee. Yet, as students few of us work to capacity even for an hour out of each day. On every hand the lament is heard that 'there just lsn't enough time to do all the things which we must do.' Consequently, in an effort to disguise our own short-comlngs such as laziness, lack of know- ledge concerning how to study, poor management, or unmeasured greed for personal glory we skim a nuns here, trim a blt snare, evode, pretend, bluff, use some- one else's work--or, just muddle through. A great hurry has seized us! We have an excess of motion but not enough sense of direction and management. As'a result, we get nowhere, and we blame it all on bad luckl T Adults continue through life blaming inadequate high school programs, poor teachers etc.,for their lack of opportunities. It never seems to occur to them that perhaps they failed some place along the line, to prepare to take advantage of oppor- tunltles. therefore, they don't recognize them as such. have yug- as students, thought whether you should have to rely on poorexcus- es to 'sham' your own tnabllltles to govern your household and rear a family of good American Citizens? Have you, or are you, preparing now to face the future proudly, matter-of-factly, and truthfully,--well prepared to cope with future problems. American education has oppor- tunities unequalled by other countries of our world. However, few high school students ever realize this while they are still students. Why don't you stop now and give this subject some thought? Take full advantage of the education offered you!

ON TH TOP KUNG OF 'THE GOOD SPIRIT' LADDS3 Another basketball season has come, and with it the remembrance of past school spiritedness which has not been entirely favorable, especially from the standpoint of yell Wparticipation at the ball games. Quite frequently someone says, WI don't want to yell: there'e enough without me anyway.W The truth of the matter is that they don't possess enough of the riglm school spirit. Also, if everyone said this, there would be no one to take part. It is the duty of every fan to do his part in making the team boys feel as if there's someone backing them. Of course, we don't want to forget the yell' leaders to whom we owe our utmost enthusiasm and our best co-operation. The pep sessions are a definite help though, and should continue to be more so. Poor sportsmanship is another unwelcome quality. Really, no benefit is gained by booing and insulting the officials and oppo- nents. Everyone is given a bad opinion of our school, and fur- thermore, no respect is held for booing. These are the major points to bs'considered and remembered if' we are to have desirable school spirit, so let's do our best to get and keep Eaton High School on tha ann runs nf tha Wound mniritW .IBUTTE 0 PRINCIPAL GIBSON PRESENTS I SSABE T0 H. 8. STUDENTS Intelligence, -Character And Personality Make The Han r What is Chooses To Be. Intelligence for the most part is a matter of taking what devlne providence saw fit to bestow upon you at birth. But your character and personality can be, to a great extent, what you care to make lt. A pleasant disposition, s winning smile, and a courteous behavior can be obtained by the force of habit. Consequently. lake an effort to improve your habits ln dealing with people and you will be repatd a thousand times. A frowny loud mouth, unconsiderate boy already has two strikes against him, but an intelligent, well mannered young gentleman has the world before him! There are two things that make a man stand apart from the crowd and achieve for himself a place of honor, welfare, and position. First of all he must have intel- ligence plus the determination to use such for his own advancement. In the second place, he must have a character- and personality to let his fellow msn know that he is deserving of honor, welfare, and position. TROPHY T0 BE PRESENTED T0 HIGHEST FOUL TOSBER - Award To Be Made At End Of Season Down ln the Athletic Dept. stands a six-inch trophy that will be claimed by the varsity man who bags the highest percent- age of foul shots for the season. Anyg member of the varsity is ajghne for the award, provided he shoots as many foul shots dur- lng the season as there are games in the season.

The Juniors held their Halloween party, Tuesday, October 24,at the home of Don Waite. Approximately twenty-five members were present and the evening was thoroughly enjoyed by all. The members of the Sophomore Class chose to have their party on Monday night, October 25,in the American Legion Hall. Games, contests, and dancing provided entertainment for forty class members. A group of Witomachick Camp Fire Girls and guests enjoyed a cleverly arranged Halloween party on October 20, at the home of Alma Page, with Barbara Nixon as assistant hostess. Several games and contests were held and a fea- ture of the evening was fortune telling by a witch who stationed herself in a 'spooky room,' de- corated with pumpkin faces, skeletons, corn stalks, etc. Later refreshments were served to the following: Joan McKinley, Joyce' Smith, Thelma Tharn, Lois Watt, Norma Ashcraft, Margaret Miller, Mary McKinley, Rosalee Dix, Bill Beouy, Shirley Lambert, Gene Poe, Becky McKinley, Bill Simmons, Jane Norrick, Bill Huff- man, Martha Rearick, Gene Prewett, Bobbie Applegate, Cash Mills- paugh, Bob Phillips, Jack Raper, Martha Day, and the guard1ans-4Lu- cllle Knife and Virginia Emdee, together with the hostesses--Alma Page and Barbara Nixon. At a meeting of the Camp Fire Girls, held recently at the home of Shirley Lambert, the following officers were elected for the coming year: President-Rosalee Dix: Vice-President-Annaruth Rob- insong Secretary-Becky McKlnleyg Treasurer-Martha Rearickg. and Reporter-Bobbie Applegate. Lois Watt, assisted by Martha Rearick and Clara Conkright, en- tertained the group at e later November meeting at the home of Miss Watt. At this session im- pressive initiation services were held for the following new mem- bers of the organization: Joyce Smith, Gloria Ranch, Mary Ket- terman, Evelyn Simmons, Peggy Phillips, Nancy DeHaven, and Nancy Snider. A gala centerpiece of fruit, leaves and nuts enriched the din- ing room table. Illumination was furnished by orange candles in crystal candelsbra. Games and contests were held and prizes were awarded the win- ners. Refreshments were served at a late - hour to the many guests. ,SsF3. Qu'-K v4' h :wt T, . L- .Q II- 1 A D. , 'T',:,j,. I zxggf.-. THANKSGIVING CELEBRATIONS MUST SURVIVE WAR IN 1944 Even Though We May Not Realize Each Of Us Has Much To Appreciate In Am. With Indians ss guests of hon- or, about tables loaded with game and fish, wild fruits from the forest, and corn-bread and veg- etables from their new gardens the Pilgrim Fathers celebrated their first American harvest fes- tlval, ln October 1621, the first autumn of the exiles in their new home. Although we read of feasts, of fasts, andof NDHBHKB-g1V1hB days' being observed during each year, later of a it is not until ten years 116367 that we find record celebration such as we now keep. Then we read of Scituate, gathered 'ln that the colonists in Plymouth Colony, the meetlnghouse be- glnnlng some halfe an hour before nine and continued until after twelve.aclocke, with psalm-s1ng- ing, prayer, and sermon.' Then came 'makelng merry to the crea- tures, the poorer sort beeing ln- vited of the rlcher.' In- the course of the Rev- olutionary War the continental Congress appointed Dec. 18, 1777, to be observed generally as a 'thanksgiving day' in consequence of the surrender of Burgoyne. In the first year of his office, President Washington h msd s pro- clamation recommending that Nov. 26, 1789 be kept as s day of 'national thanksgiving' for the establishment of a form of gov- ernment that made for safety and happiness. For years the festival was sl- most exclusively a New England institution, celebrated by re- llglous services ln the churches the sermon being often s political address, and by the gathering at the old home of the scstteredssm- bers ofthe famll - 'hzedey grad- ln ,the Y. ually became a custom Western.snd some of the Southern states each appointing its own day. fn 1864 President Lincoln issued a proclamation ln which he 'appointed and set ssldels the last Thursday in November as s day of national thanksgiving 'for the defense tagalnste unfriendly designs without and signal vic- tories over the enemy who is of our own household.' , Until 1939, each president followed L1ncoln'e example in proclaiming the last Thursday of November a national day of Hunks- Elvlng, In that year Franklin D. ccsevelt, desiring to lengthen the-interval between Thanksgiving and Christmas, named the next to the last Thursday ss the date of celebration. But ln December 1941 Congress passed a resolution making the fourth Thursday e legal holiday. Governors in the various states usually lssue pro- clamattons to this effect, The day is also celebrated in all the territories and possessions. Although Thanksgiving Day is wholly an American institution, harvest festivals have been known since time lmmemorlal. It was long customary ln England and elsewhere to hold special days of 'fasting and prayer' in times of peril and disaster and equally to celebrate with 'thanksgiving' and feasting Nature's annual bounty and other marks of God's favor. This present'year of 1944, our Thanksgiving Celebration must be continued! Even though we may feel at times that we personally have little to be thankful for in these days of perll, we must stop and review our respective stations ln life. We have no bombs nd lng here! Our war plants have not been molested, our railroad tnuks are in tact, our bridges sdll re- main, our homes still exist, our hosp1ta1s,' churches, and schools continue to fulfill their re- spective missions--yet some of us have the nerve to stand up and say to our neighbors, 'Ilm not going to celebrate Thanksgiving this year because I have nothing especially to be thankful for. Had fag not better stop and re- cons er? H. 5. PEST CONTEST GETS UNDERWA! AS 'AG' TEAMS SWING INTO ACTION Captains Spur Teams T0 Work ,November 10 - December 22 In Order To Vin.

The 'character and personality of a person can very well be judged by his use of words. The loud boisterous use of words us- Bally PHP!! ,opp as ill-mannered and lnconsiderate of others. Such persons are usually avoided and have few friends. ' A quiet, poised, and concise use of words reveals intelligence soundness of character, and a balanced emo- tional llfe. Such people are con- genial, have a lot of friends, and make leaders. People who use words in excess are commonly call ed ngossipsu and need no intro- ductlon. Buch people usually have little. human understanding are bigoted, and are usually try- ing to cover up something in their own lives. They are the trouble makers in this world. Fortunate, indeed, is the person who 1s smart enough to realize that if he can't speak well of others,1t is wiser to never speak at all. e Then there are those people who. have developed the .habit of using sweet sounding or uflowery' words. They are the flatterers and one should listen to them with caution for generally there is an ax to grind. Pollticahs and high powered salesman are typical of this lot. The use of profane words reveal shallowness .of character, lack of considera- tion, the absence of respect, and emotional instability. g Profane people are usua1ly'unhappy persons whofincit difficult to get along with the members of their own family and their neighbors. ' Thus, the use of' words does reveal what you really are. There- fore, one should use words care- fully and with good Judgement. An ill spoken word often leads to ga lifetime of misunderstanding. Im- prove your personality by a con- scious effort to discipline your use of words. Be wise in the Judgement of other people by ob- serving carefully what they say and how they say it.

' A, I We all know that there ls a great deal oftalent around school. while, walking down the hall I have heard people slnglng, whis- tling, and sometimes--I've even seen someone dancing. Why, in shorthand class there happens to be an excellent singer who has yet to be discovered by some band leader. Another thing that I have missed, 'ls the operetta at Christ- mas time. Everyone knows it was a lot of work on the part of the music teacher and the grade chil- dren but we all enjoyed itg con- sequently, all the time and.bother were surely worthwhile. An oper- etta oouldn't be worked up this year. but the, chorus, under the direction of Miss Kercheval, has been .working on some very pretty Christmas songs and I'm sure they lwould be willing to sing a few songs for us. 1 X Think lt over, Student Council, and let'e have -some convocation prcgramsjw-We need them. SENICRS DISCUSS YEARBOOK ,TO BE PUBLISHED IN SPRING f The Senior Class conducted a business meeting, November 29, to discuss the yearbook, which will be published in the spring. It was decided that they book should be called the nLens', S1506 that is the name of the school paper and the book is a bound copy of each month's paper together with class and organiza- tion plctures, activities, snap- shots, etc. The selling price of the book will be 61.50. This may be ,paid in full at the time of the sub- scriptlcn campaign or a SO! down payment may be made with the remaining 31 to be paid at the time of delivery. The business manager will start the campaign for subscriptions in the near future. 14 - , -. , . 5 1 , L- '- :2 G f b . V 5 . V . WE MUST HOLD ON TO CHhISTMAS MORE THAN EVBn THIS YEAh ' 1944 is une Year For Gifts That Take Time and Thought: Gifts of Love hetner Than Dutv. , We want to hold on to Christ- mas more than ever this year. But let's do away with Nchristmas as usual.' It should have more significance for us, be kept more in memory of that first Christ- mas. We've shared heartbresks, anxiety, hopes, and prayers this whole year long. Now at its end, let'e share ourselves unselfishly as l8wCS1SbF8t8 our Lord's birth. .Let's forget the sumptuous gifts that we used to wrap in an ex- travagsnce of tissue, tinsel, and bells. This is the year Rr gifts ' that take time and thought, gifts that help the morale because they are given out of love, not duty. Let'e give this year in memory of those who are not with us. Here we can be lavish without shame. If you really want to give yourself, why not send a greeting that is Hgood fore something? To an invalid you might send a card stating that it was Hgocd fern an evening of reading every week. or Ugood for? homemade ice cream once a month. To a harassed mother you might say the card was 'good fern keeping Johnny every fortnight. Be certain that ,the impulse comes from your heart and that you really intend to carry out the proposal without fail. y Your own gifts of love should be .peculiarly yours--of yourself! -ili- THE 'ADVANCED' ART GLASS consrnucrs WINDOW scenes WHICH assassins STAINED GLASS ' EP, .lj qFL::.. , we as The advanced art class, under the -supervision of Mrs. Brueck- heimer, are making large pictures of colored constitution paper which represent stained glass windows and are in keeping with the Christmas theme.e The stu- dents and their assigned projects are as follows: Two Angels ln -Prayer-Wilma Brlnson and Barbara Nixon: Holy City-Ilah Addington and Jo Ann' Boyg Madonna and Child-Mary Jane Cox and Harry Witt: Mary, Joseph and Jesus- Frances Vance and Doris Belle: and the Sheperds and Their Sheep is an all class project.

Assoclation b g-,,-,1, I lf ' 1 d f f ba --f Seeks Aid Among Students ng ,,By presenting Seals QQQ .',- , ..- XL x On Wednesday morn1nggLDecember 6, Eaton students participated in, the drive established by the National Tuberculosis Associatnm. 0ur students purchased the organization bangles, and as a result helped raise money .which is used to fight tuberculosis. Tue battle aginst tuberculosis has been in progress for the past half century and is not yet won. In 1942 tuberculosis caused the death of 44 out of every 100,000 persons but there is reasonable hope that in time this disease may be virtually wiped out. 1 The National Tuberculosis ,Association ad its 1700 affilated state and local organizations carry on a continuous year-round program of education for the pre- vention and control of tubercu- losis. One means of raising runds is by the annual sale of Christmas Seals. This M m the association, wishing to honor the great postal systems, has chosen a poetman for the symbol on its seal. This ls more appropriate because it was a postal employee who first thought of the Christmas Seal. Behind the symbol of the post- man on the 1944 Christmas Seal lies the story of communication, from the tom-toms and signal fires of the primitive man, through the period of horesman and the stage-csaoh to the train, ocean liner, ai plane, telephone, telegraph and radio. Improved methods of communica- tion have made our world smaller and brought all people closer together. This ought to bring nearer the time when there will be peace amoung men of good will, for as we learn to know emh other better there'should be more tol- erance and understanding. As s result of tus local drive our students gave 82l.08. The rooms andtheir respective amounts are as follows: Reynolds, 1.94, Boyd, 81.443 Brammer, 1.625 Meyer, 81.403 Wall, 1.043 Wilson, 81.613 Osenbaugh, 2.505 Shook, 31.463 and grades 7 mupugh 12 inclusive-88.47.

Gibson. ' The cast was as follows: Myra Chase, the station agent's daugh- ter-Jane Norrickz Charlotte Hen- ry, a wealthy spinster-Margaret Collins: Deborah Henry, Char- lotte's sister-Frances Vance: Celeste Chatain, an actress-Ilah Addlngtohg Martha More, Char- lotte's maid-Jane Rarickz Annie Jinks, the new maid-Norma Fisher: Arnold Cole, Charlotte's nephew- Keith Kegerreis: Harvey Schluet- Br, Ph. Dog LLO Da, Sce D.-Karl Dix: Hank, the baggage man-David Riebllihsa Sandy, an animal trainer-Ben Holdren: Ben Chase, the station agent-John Th0mSS2 The Bum-Howard Roberts. The entire action of the play took place in the waiting room of a lonesome railroad station, covering a period of time be- tween the departure and arrival of the night trains. ' Ben Chase, the station agent, complains to his daughter, Myra, that nothing exciting ever hap- pens. He is bored with routine. On top of this declaration, Hank, the baggage man, trundles a rough box into the baggage room. It has come in on the five-thirty train and is supposed to contains the body of Deborah Henry, sister to Charlotte Henry, the wealthy but erratic local spinster. Deb- orah has previously disappeared. Her sister traced her to Chicago where she arrived only to find Deborah deceased. She shipped the body back home, where it must remain all night in the depot. Later the rough box falls off of the baggage truck and it is found to be empty! Where is the miss- ing Deborah? Is she alive or dead? From this point, things hap- pened so rapidly that the aud- ience was left gasping. How the real culprit was discovered, and the ingenious manner in whichfthe mystery was solved, formed the basis of an unusually interesting last act. Tickets were sold by members of the Senior Class. , EATON SCHOOL FACULTY MEMBER ATTENDS MEETING DURING HOLIDAYS Mrs. LaFollette Attends American Historical Association Meeting At Stevens Hotel In Chicago. ,ii1.T During the holiday recess, a member of our faculty, Mrs. R.

Included in the five sessions which she attended were thirteen discussions of timely topics of interest today. American History was the theme of the first session and a high- light of the program was the ad- dress on 'The Common Soldier in the Roman Armyu by Professor Robert 0. Fink of Beloit College. 'Central Europe and Russian by Oscar Jaszi of Oberlin College was the feature subject at a luncheon meeting-on Thursday. The third session was ansftere noon meeting on Relations Between Civil and Military Authorities During the Civil War. The most interesting speech which was called 'Northern Governors and the Lincoln Govsrnment,W was given' by Dr. W. B. Hesseltine from the University of Wisconsin. Dr. G. Bruun of Sarah Lawrence College of New York presented an exposition entitled 'Eighteenth- Century Despots and Twentieth- Century D1ctators.' This was in correlation with Modern European History which was the discourse of this group, ' A climax of the conference came at the final session when Dr. W. Johnson of the University of Chicago delivered his essay on Wwllliam Allen White Looks at Normalcy.' Liberals of the Mid- west was the thought whiohgovern- ed his selection of this disser- tation.

A person who is courteous to everyone at all times is a definite asset to'any school. An act of courtesy, even if it is just a'nThsnk you' or an UI beg your psrdon,' is grestly sp- preciated by any faculty member. Likewise, students appreciate courtesy from the teachers. Our clerk deserves her share of courtesy from all in return for her help and courtesy to, not only us, but to our parents. Not forgetting the maintenance department, we find that no one should be excluded from the right of courtesy. This may also be observed during pep sessions as respect for the yell leaders, or during programs and convocations as respect for those who take part. We must remember, too, that our fellow-students, with whom we come in contact most, have equal rights to our best courtesy. Although we are not all in agreement regarding l1fe's many phases, only by courtesy and re- spect for the opinions and ways of others will we be able to live and progress harmoniously. LOCKL AG. BOYS ess slcsrs AT curckco FAT srocx snow 'Navy Pier And Various Planes were Of Great Interest , To The ,Boys. We boys and Mr. Ross left Eaton about 7 A.M. Sunday Morning car the and followed the Riebeling into Chicago. As we entered city, disappointment was with us- since no tall buildings were in si ht The stock yards were all men weghsd expected--very large, driving the stock, manure trailers pulled behind tractors, and livestock in various con- ditions--some thin, some fat, some big and some little. As we stood on the street ready to walk to the hotel any bystander could have guessed it.- Yee, We were from the country and stood gazing at the skyscrapers! Since we were 4-H boys attend- ing this show, we were guests of the Morrison, Hotel at one-half price. Klncidentslly, this is the tallest hotel in the world. From the lookout tower people appeared as dots and some of us felt as though we could feel the building weave.J Perhaps one of our most inter- esting experlences was that of visiting Navy Pier and the Navy's Sixth War Loan Drive Exhibit, Here thousands of people wit- nessed the equipment such as the L.S.T. landing craft, torpedoes, and various types of planes and tanks with which our boys are fighting. - Seven hundred and ninety beef steers, were shown during entire show. They certainly gave us s keener idea of what a beef calf should be! - the Evening entertainment included an amusement park building, Gene Krups's band, and card' playing in the hotel when we were too tired to go outl ' Naturally, we were all waiting with anticipation to see Dave show 'Duks'. We were ,proud that out of this fine class of 75 fAngue steers 'Duke' was sble to place 24th. Believe it or not, we did not question the Judge-- there was no doubt that those top animals were 'class' in any show! On the wsy' home, we were awake awhile--asleep awhile. It was s great trip.

The Hygrade Seed Company of New York City has distributed to the Eaton grade school children 130 boxes or 2,600 packages of seeds. The students profit 5355 on all seeds sold which should net a total of S45.55. The money will be used to buy supplementary readers and library books for the grade library. These seeds are of a reputable quality and since seeds are an essential item in victory garden- ing, it should be no great tack to dispose of the sohoo1's pur- chase.

Gaudy and poorly selected clothing indicates poor judgment and the lack of personal under- standing. Clothing should never be selected to draw attention to the clothing itself but should be selected to enhance the total personality of the individual. In other words, the eyes, face, and total attractiveness' of the person is enhanced because of that particular pieceof clothing. One should never feel compliment- ed when another remarks, Hwhat a beautiful suit you have.W On the other hand, it is a compliment what a frlend says, WHow nice you look todey.W Simplicity of design and qual- ity of material should be of first consideration. ticular needs should as to style and color and here your friends can offer much advice. Your par- be analyzed combination and parents The improper cars can never be excused! Poorly pressed and dirty clothing clear- ly indicate a lazy, careless, or irresponsible person. Many em- ployers, when looking for a pros- pect for a job, readily confess that personal appearance goes a long way in sizing up the person. Thus, the proper selection and care of clothing does reveal your personality, and the happiest part of it all is that you can do something about lt.

Orchids to two Senior boys with enough intellect Q or what have you! to put to motion a brilliant brain storm when confronted with the tough problem of getting their car out when it was parked next to the curb at the field house sur- rounded on all sides.

Orchids to those fstudents who live in town for coming to school regardless of wind, snow drifts, and ice. Not all arrived but good for those who did.

Everyone was 'slipin and sliden' around-the corners on this new Year's Day! - There were a few 'droopy eyes' but as a whole the assembly was real bright and cheerful after our long vacation. The Great Jackson marched up the isles of the assembly to ac- cept an award which was presented to him by Mr. Gibson. Nearly all of the country 'kids' returned home after lunch as the roads were very bad. Thats one advantage of living in the country. A change of the program sort of disrupted the student body, but it finally worked out alright Tuesda , Januar 2 S5me of the busses were unable to gc on their routes.

He certainly is giving his new shav- er a work out. My! My! Mr. Hell really took a 'raz- zingn when Principal Gibson an- nounced after the .Friday game with Center that we would play the first game with them in the Co. Tourney. Just think, Mr. G. knew it when he bet with Mr.Hall. You'l1 learn one of these days, The sixth period study hall seemed to have a Wmischeiviousn air--or at least it seemed that way to me when I saw three vic- tims going through to the office with expressions on their faces that made them look as if they had bumped into obstacles too great to conquer. .

I think Mr. Ross 'sorta'. intentionally skipped out on us, don't you? We'll get him another time though! The class rooms of E.H.S. were filled with excitement- ourole and gold streamers were npoppingl up with nearly every student through the halls. Frida , Januar 12 ' Hy gooa n'e s's! ,The rn-st period study hall looked as if everyone had deserted E.H.S. Dhe to cir- cumstances beyond our control, some of the bus drivers were de- tained from making their routes. As a result, we were dismissed for the day at 11:00 o'olock. The Norse played an exhausting game with Selma, but the 'sharp shooting' Bluebirds deterred us from victory. A Monde , Januar I5 I do 5eIieve'I saw some more 'love birds' lingering through the corridors and class rooms this last month or so. Maybe some of you have noticed Bob Walters, Bob Phillips, and B111 Simmons quietly approaching H. Cooley, B. Nixon, and B. McKinley., .

The grain is harvested with a sickle and bound by hand. In some places the grain is thresh- ed by a flail on a clean, hard surface, then tossed in the air to separate the grain from chaff. Pfc.

We won't embarrass Mr. Gibson by dlvulging the names he wrote on the paper, but we will go so far as to say that he honored his own school by selecting Eaton as one contender for the title. In any event, Mr. Hall won the bet, and Mr. Gibson's dollar. Clnci- dentally, she hasn't received the coke yet.I NORSEMEN SPORTS ACTIVITIES EATON BLACKSOUT On Friday, 'December 16 Eaton basketball squad the ice and snow in order to to Redkey to play a game with the wolves. It was a rough and hard played game as well as s fast one as the Eaton crew tangled with the Red- key five. However, the Norse brought home a victory with the score standing at 55 to 26. The wolves willing but inept performers were unable to keep up the pace with the Norse as they were behind at the close of the half 17 to 15. From this point the Wolves gradually gained and came within one point of' the Norsemen. Then the Norse broke loose and ran the score up 15 points and Redkey never was able to threaten seriously again. . There was much fouling! Red- key had three men with four fouls and Eaton had four men with four fouls when the game finished. Our second team squad lost to the Redkey 'B' team 19 to 14. G F.T.

A h The Norsemen got away to an early lead with Huffman starting the leather pouring through the hooks to gain a reward of 9 to 4 at the close of the first period. Eaton had the better of it through the continuation of the g8.lI1eo Coach Hall, by continually substituting, employed reserves after the first quarter to give all players a chance in the scor- ing. It was a smoothly-played game with no one going out of the game via the personal foul route. The Spartans were mediocre in fast and shlfty plays in comparison to their 45-44 squad and were unable to put the anchor on the Norsemen who sailed calmly through the af- fair. Monroe got 14 points for the host club, Dave Riebellng scored 11 and Lewellen 10 for the win- ners. Seven Eaton players broke into the scoring. The second team game was won by Center 24 to 19.

Tourney history, witnessed the opening game of the annual affair as the Eaton Norsemen sailed down the victory steam when they once again did away with the Center Spartans. The Spartans kept up their noted tradition of always being at their best in a tournament as the Norsemen had quite a time in gaining control of the purple and white team. The Spartans had a habit of coming back every time the Eaton lads built up a sizable lead and kept up this practice until late in the game. They started strong- ly and at the end of the first period looked their best as they battled the Norsemen on even terms at 5 all. From there on, the Norse led at all stopping points, 18 to 12 at the half and 54 to 22 at the end of the third when they staged a twelve-point lead which the Spartans were not able to destroy. Honorable work was done by Reibeling as he scored 10 points fh the last half. Huffman and Smoot also proved valuable since each scored 8 markers. Prewett enabled the Norse to get their offense into working order as he came into the game in the second period. He immediate scored two baskets and added another fielder and two fouls in the final half for 8 points.' Long range shooting done by Monroe for his Spartan team proved to be of great yalue to them since he scored 22 of his team's 52 points. He was the only Center player who was able to shoot regularly over the tall Eaton aerensegg V G F T. ' G F.T.

Tournament the Eaton Norsemen were bumped off by the Selma Bluebirds 52 to 25. It was a harum-sacrum contest as both teams displayed skill ing I 4 hcndling the bell and were adept at defensive action. Selma pos- sessed the better basket eye as the Norsemen Seemed unable to fhw the target amid their long shoot- ing ranges. It was tight through the first three periods although Selma held the lead 5 to 2 at the end of the first stanza and 18 to 9 at the half. The Norse outscored the Bluebirds in a determined third quarter surge by narrowing the count to 20 to 17 at the end of that period. At this point the Bluebirds became shaky in the face of the Eaton drive. Scott led a Selma rally that was launched with the opening of- the final period and the Blue- birds scored 7 points in two minutes and at the same time they held the Norsemen scoreless to take an ll-point lead. That was about the end of it, although the purple and gold gang came back again near the end of the game through the efforts of Roberts who tossed three field baskets in the closing minutes. B. Boggs led the winners with 10 points. Roberts, Reibeling, Smoot, Lewellen, and Huffman all played good ball as a unit for the Eaton squad. Roberts scored 9 points on four field baskets and B foul. This was the best-played game of the tournament with skillful actions displayed by both teams. G F T G F T Chalfant Reibeling Sheward Lewellen P. Boggs Prewett Madlll Roberts B.

This defeat adds up to the Cardinals 55th loss in a row as they were again wiped off the basketball maps ' It was strictly purple and gold all the way through. The Norse jumbed all over the Harri- son boys starting with a 15 to 4 lead in the, first quarter and ending the session with the tab- ulation of 54 to 21. It was merely basket practice for the Norsemen squad as they easily steered their way under the basket for 'lay-ups.' They allowed the Cardinals to receive no more than 7 points ln any quarter.

' A testing cycle which covers accuracy and speed is in progres . A WBig Ten' chart records the high ten speeds in the class following each speed test. These speed tests are alternated with accuracy tests which are recorded daily on a 'Bull's Eye Chart.' If no errors are made an arrow with the student's name on it is placed in the center circle. If one error is made, the arrow is placed in the first Wcircleg if two are made, the arrow is placed in the second circle. More than two errors places the student's arrow in the field. , On the side bulletin board is a theromemeter for each student. As speed increases the Wredn mer- cury of the theromemeter rises. In this manner the up to date record of one's best speed is kept. Interest in the charts has been high and they make the oth- erwise monotonous testing seem somewhat intreging as students watch their individual daily progress. The importance Of the type- writer to the army is unques- tioned. It is used in such types of army work as preparation of correspondence, bulletins, memo- randa, circulars, general orders, special orders, various forms, and many other miscellaneous military matters. However, accuracy is absolutely necessary in this work. There is but one standard for the work. It must be correct!

In the field of biology and physics there are many educa- tional films available. While studying the unit of mammals in biology, we saw films showing how elephants are train- ed, the habits of the badger and gray squirrel, and reproduction of the rabbit from the time of the fertilization of the egg une' til the birth of the young rabbit, During these war days when travee ling is llmlted, we were able to enjoy a visit to the zoo in New York City, where we met many of the strange animals of the world. A colored film on the nesting and 'feeding habits of the ruby'Uuuat- ed humming bird was very instruc- tive-and interesting.

There we saw the processes used in making films, cameras, and photographic paper, The inside workings of valves pistons, and ejeoters of Diesel engines have become more real to us whem visulized on the screen.

Because of the great contrast in Washington and Lincoln, we know ,that neither handicaps nor favors lcompletely WmakeW a DGPSOH- 2Llncoln was poor and suffered imany defects, but he finally ibecame victorious, winning favor with all classes of people. Un- like Lincoln, Washington was aristocratic and well-educated the 'easy wayW, but he understood -the common man, too. With examples before us, like the experiences of these two great men, we should take advant- age of all opportunities tobetter ourselves and be thankful that the way is less difficult for us. When wethink of the difficulty Lincoln had in educating himself, never again should we let one piece 'of knowledge pass without grasping at least a part of it. ,Before we complain about the inconveniences of our education, '1et's think how insignificant they are as compared with Lincoln's. ' Also, a good education is a necessity for our complex society of today. In order to maintain the high civilization of our country, our education will have to be high and more universal. Most important of aD, a democracy cannot kng endure without a well- informed public, and the public will not be wellbinformed without education. Even the right man- ipulation of our many complex machines requires s good educa- tion. So, to become -better American citizens and to enjoy happier and fuller lives, may we strive on for the best education possible. . ..... .... Be able to use minutes.

The traditional dnniversary of their death.- February 14, has become known as Saint Valentine's Day, and has long been observed as a lovers' festival.

Defeating the 'husky Royertom Redbirds, the Norse took a giant stride along the road to recogni- tlon among the county teams. The Norse avenged an earlier defeat by trimming Hoyerton 50 to 25.

Dlsapprovlng of this, Coach Ha11's campaigners, sharp as a tack and hot as a pistol, Jumped into the lead in the second quarter leaving Royer- ton in a daze, to gain a score of 17 to 8 at the half. The Redblrd team was never to gain the lead thereafter. The purple and gold team kept possession of the ball to protect lts, slender margin during the final period of play. The visiting crew wa6'Eont1nually on the alert but was unable to steal the ball and break through the Norsemen's defense. 1 Huffman turned in a beautiful Job against ,Bullock, Royerton's noted tall pivot man, and held him to 5 markers.

Stuart, managing editor of the Indianapolis Star,' at the Career Conference Day held February 21, at Central High School in Muncie. 'Good health, psrserverance, alertness, accuracy, rssponsibll-A ness, and observation are lm- portant issues for a good news- wr1ter,' stated Hr. Stuart. He also stated that trlfle incidents can make good stories if they are presented in the right way. . Mary Basineck, a renowned re- porter of the Indianapolis Star, told of many interesting exper- iences which have occured during her newswritlng career. Her most impressive story was that of the Ohio River flood of 1957. Gretchen Kemp, copy reader for the Indianapolis Star: Mary Alice Clark, local editor of 'Stuff and Nonsense' for the Muncie Sunday Star: John Ferr1s,manag1ng editor of the Muncie Star, and Joe Craven, photographer of the Ind- ianapolis Star were also present.

He was born in England in 586 and died in 465. When he was sixteen years old some wild Irish men captured him and took him to Ireland where he spent six years as a swineherder. He later returned' to England and became a missionary. The Irish people called him back to Ireland where he established churches, missionaries, and Christianity. When 'he died an ancient stone chair, of the Rock of Chashel, was erected in' his honor. He founded over 300 churches and converted over 120,000 people. The clover came from the'pattern of the Shamrock leaf that meant 'Three in 0ne'. It is also claimed that on his death, March 17, 465, there was no night for twelve days. IMRS.

Ufot ' By Betty Ann Cochran During this war, we have heard many complaints about the minor inconveniences of our life--minon at least, compared with the dif- ficult times of those on the battlefields. Dad thinks it's 'outrageous' because s portion of his pay- check is taken for war bonds, never thinking of how much bonds 'are needed 'for war materials. Mother declares she 'just can't manage' without more sugar or some other rationed foods and thinks there's no need for such things being rationed. Sister 'can t possibly attend that party without a new dress' and can't find the kind she wants because .then labor -supply and materlals are decreased. Brother grumbles about not having enough gasoline or tires as he is not able totake the car as much as he'd like. He doesn't see any reason for gas- oline to be rationed and spoil his good times. Others that have to abide by the midnight curfew think it is 'simply uncalled for! They might get home earlier than they used to. Yes, there's ,a war going on, but sinceit 1sn't being fought on American soil the' majority of us think we shouldn't have to change very much from our peacetime living. A picture of real sacrifices was portrayed in a recent news- paper article. Fourteen women employees of Eli Lilly and Com- pany of Indianapolis volunteered to handle thousands of mice which the laboratory officials said, was a most hazardous job, The laboratory is trying to develpp a serum for a serious tropical disease, and with the experiments there is danger of infection. The serum is to be injected into the mice, and these women will work with them in a specially constructed department to which only volunteers will be admitted. Also, the dangerous nature ofthis work was explained to the employ- ees before the call for volunteers was made. These women and many others like them, are making all kinds of sacrifices today for the.bet- terment of the world and with the hope that this war will-end soon because of their efforts, inpart. We surely owe each one a debt of' gratitude. . The next: time we' start to 'gripe' about the 'poorer quality of this'orthe 'shortage of that' we should remember what a small bit we are giving up in compar- leon to that which so many others are giving--their all. ' Kstuart, Baslneok--Con' t X Several local senior boys found the meeting on engineering both educational and interesting. W.A. Knapp, Associate Dean of Engineering at Purdue University was speaker. Among other sessions attended by local Seniors were those on secretarial work, occupational therapy, agriculture, beauty cul- ture, costume design, personnel management, medical technology, home making and mechanics. Wesley Pierce, instructor of printing at Central-High School, showed members of the darn' Staff as well as many other members of the local Senior Class, through the print shop, where we saw the tournament issue of the 'Munson- 1an,' Central High School publi- cation, 'going to press.' OUR EAR By' Robert M. Gibson The end of another school year is rapidly approaching and it is wise at such a time to stop for a minute to take inventory to see what I as an individual student have really aocompollehed. Eight months of' my time are really worth something either in per- sonal development ' through the school experience or in dollars and oentslf employed in lndustry. Above all. things, this time should not have been wasted. Too many students are content to take the road of least resistance. This accounts for the great number of 'D' students in our school who are content to do just enough to get by. These are students who sleep if a little tired 'rather than do their work, read magazines and library books in study periods, see something funny and disturb the rest of the student body, miss school on the least excuse, are dlscourteous and ' inoonsiderate with their parents and teachers and complain about their grades--knowing full well they are capable of doing better. If you are one of those 'D' students who are content in merely getting by, this year--for the most part--has been a bed investment for you. The world is full of the common herd people represented by you students who -are Just getting by. What the world wants and is begging for is young men and women with ambition amlnxsllisenengzho Wan' 120 40 something worthwhile. Buch-youths are generally the leaders in the classroom I urge each of you, therefore, to think serious-, 'ly about this matter and remember it is never to late to mend your VEYB' ' rq0nu l4GV'O 'S E THE REASON LIHY K we Lest Tho Sectional 1 By Jane Norrick Dot, dot, dot, dash! The cat's out of the bag! Here is the solu- tion--the real reason that we dldn't win the sectional. Flash! New creations direct from Paris! Via Norway! The popular color trend in March is purple and gold!!! Upon their arrival, girls were screaming, boys yelling,--WSave one for me,W WI want one too.WThe faculty, acting as the well known traffic coppers, rushed to the scene in the upper hall! People crowded around Coach Hall as if he actually had a car- load of T-bone steaks or two pounds of butter for sale. In- stead, much to my chagrin--for I was rushing with-the rest of the mob--he was only selling 'beanies' made up in the school's colors! Yes, all three styles were par- ading around through the halls and in the class rooms atop the skulls of little boys, big boys, little girls, big girls, seniors and fire graders alike! I never saw such a profusion of colors in what started out -as just an ordinary school day in my life!!! First, there was the 'sailor' --gold with purple tassels and num- erals which was worn by some .et a haughty angle over one eye, and precariously on of the cranium. by others, hung the back portion Next came the 'high-schoolersW type known among as the Wjeep hat.W This Wjeep hat' resembles the jockey hat in that it has a tipped -bill and is topped with a sauoey button. It was quite a favorite with the ladies since they could cast an irresistable glance toward the fellows in the study hall, while being shielded by its ,perky bill. Need1esE4to- say, this camouflaging device was not appreciated by the faculty. Younger students selected the Wbes ie to help the express their enthusiasm for the local high school quintet in the sec- t1Ona1e Now, why weren't these fine bits of beautifying array ra- tioned? le all wanted one! Why don't you suppose the 'yen' for the team to win was just as great and ardent in Gurvls Conner as in Barbara Cochran?

The Library is and money payment of also well-stocked with various magazines, which are the most popular of 'L1fe,W WSeventeen,W and 'Readers' Dlgest.W There are now 19 current magazines on the shelves. with all of the reference books, our Library provides much help to those who seek various types of information. Approxi- mately 140 volumes have been re- bound by the Hickman Bindery in North Manchester. Consequently, the bright new covers have ln- oreased the popularity of these books. They have been brought back to life--so to speak. Those students .who act as ll- brarians receive training and ex- perlence in this field. They learn to work with our best sources of knowledge--books, and help others find this knowledge. Our Library is greatly appreci- ated now, and there are many pos- sibilities for its future growth.

Classes may come and classes may go, but the cafeteria must go on forever...... K UM Jima., Girls and boys and teachers study history to learn about the past. Looking backward into the past is llke looking into the mirror in an automobile. It gives the glance backward so we can go forward, turn right or left, and avoid accidents. It helps us live in the present. If one of us were to enter Ball Memorial Hospital or any hospital the first thing the hos- pltal staff would do would be to take the history of the case. The doctors and nurses must know the history of your case ln order to prescribe what you need. So lt is with our state and nation. If we are to help our country to'the best of our ability, then we must have a true knowledge 'cf its history ln order to suggest the proper remedy. As we study history we learn about Perlcles, about Sm Francis, Erasmus, George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. We learn about their personality traits and characters. ' We know they did great deeds and were successful for definite reasons. They are examples to follow and too they teach us mistakes to avoid. World history gives us a world point of view, helps us under- stand and appreciate distant peo- . Our brothers and places friends and sons are in far understand them they cross over the thres- day we will be ples and away places. To when hold able to listen to them, talk with their talk more again some them, and enJcy if we have traveled through his- tory and geography to learn about these faraway places and peoples. In a future year when peace shall -come we can go to Europe or Indla cr China and our trip will mean 'eo much more when we know facts and interesting things about these places. Yes, history stret- ches our minds. It helps us co- operate and work for thatd one world, that better, happier, more secure tomorrow. . we want to be good citizens, citizens who vote. If we vote wisely, we will have, to1 know aboutthe problems and issues that -concern us all. Social science teaches us about these. From history we learn about freedom, democracy, and respect for the individual. As we learn about the deeds, the music, the art, and the writings of our country 'we are proud of the accomplish- ments and determine to reduce the number of mistakes. We shall ac- centuate the positive and elimi- nate the negative. lay history ever serve as a lamp to light our .lays .- L1 ...-q- no God, save us from being the bcaster and the bully and the angered and the self seekerln pad Cross five Just as important as the Red Cross care for the wounded is its work for those behind the lines, men who are going in or out of battle, and men in noncombatant jobs. The American Red Cross is now operating Um Wtrainmobiles,H- converted railway cars which fol- ,low the troops as far as the lines permit. Your Red Cross in 1t's great humanitarian work goes to the battle fronts, to enemy prison camps, to lonely outposts and to hospitals for the wounded. Your Red Cross gifts bring to your sons in distant lands a cheering word, a cup of American coffee, and assistance in time of trouble. Also too, from your Red Cross to world battlefields goes blood plasma to retain life in a badly wounded boy: surgical dressings to bind his hurts. NThe Red Gross is great U cause it reflects and is sustain- ed by an idea that is lodged in the consciousness of all people. That idea is the dignity of man, and the responsibility of all society toward its individual membersu was the statement of Basil 0'Conner, Chairman of the American National Red Gross.

The Bronohs fell quick- ly to the wayside as the Norse started off in a rush to build up a 14 to 5 lead at the end of the first quarter. The Horsemen kept up the scoring assault in the second quarter as they outmatohed the black and gold team 8 to 5 by a score of 25 to ll. The Bronohs made their best ,s owing in the third, scoring 6 poin s to 3 for Eaton. In the final period Dalevllle again had an edge, but the Norse lead was to great to overcome. Coach Hall employed reserves a good portion of the ball game, rewett and Myers entering the game ln the second quarter and Dix, Kegerreis, and Blake playing much of the final period. It was evident that Eaton was not trying to run up the score. better firing average than did Daleville hitting 12 fleld goals ln 55 stabs while the Bronohs dropped in 9 from the field in 54 attempts.

Then the high flying Royerton Redbirds came out to aeet the purple and gold team ln a great'batt1e in the semi-final game of the Beo- tional Tourney, Saturday after- noon, February 24. Huffman started. raising the score first by contacting the net for 5 points with a fielder and foul toss. Roberts followed for' two points. He again threw a field basket on a follow-up but the officials ruled that Yes had previously fouled Huffman and the basket did not count for the Norse. With twelve seconds to go Rlebellng threw another basket but again the officials ruled that he had been fouled by Keller of Royerton and lt did not count. Rlebell g tossed the first of his free throws to make the score 33 to 31, Royerton. He sacrificed the other oharlty privilege by tossing the ball in from the side. Royerton was right there and stole the ball as the gun sounded to end the game with the score standing at 33 to 31. High point man of the game was Riebellng with 15 points while Bullock got 12 points for the winners. - The Norse were behind most of the way because of their inabili- ty to find the shooting range. The Norsemen's powers came to them only in the final stage of the game. The purple and gold clad boys fell behind 2 points at the end of the first stanza 7 to 5, and at the half 15 to 13. The Eaton lads seemed- to have lost their fighting spirit as the Red- birds were still ahead at the end o the third, 2? to 20. They banged away time after time throughout the first three per- iods, hitting the rim with prac- tloally every shot, but could not connect. Despite the fact that they couldn t hit the basket, the Norse had defense enough to en-1 able them to remain in contention until the last quarter. Suddenly coming to a fighting recovery with less than two minutes to go and trailing by 7 points, the Horsemen started some fireworks by firing away to tally 6 points. The Royerton squad hardly had time to .find their sense when Eaton ran up the score to trail only by 3 points. G.l5T. G.F.T.

Office on Monday, March 26. 'We can't make your offset paper better than the copy sent to us,' advised Joe Button, owner of thebelaware Engraving Company, of Muncie, who also served as guide when the staff toured his establishment. He explained -the methods used in making engraving prints lithographic work, and advertising engravings, which are used internationally.

Scott, the proprietor. - After leaving the Scott Com- pany, the class dined in the banquet room of the Y.M.C.A. At approximately 7:50, a tour Aof the Muncie Star Office and plant began, with Horace Payne, circulation manager of the 'Star serving as guide. The circulation department was visited first where students saw the plates by which 7,500 papers 'are addressed for rural delivery each morning. This operation-is done by one man and requires only two and one half hours. Next cape the'sd1toral depart- ment where tourists were intri- gued with the telotype equipment, where news was coming in 'hot on the wires . ' observed The 'morgue' was following the editoral department This 'morgue' is made up of large files in which are kept mats of 'famous personalities who play an important role in present world affairs--e.g. President Bggsevelt Churchill, etc. These are ready for immediate use when a story 'breaks.' ' Advertising mats are also kept in similar files for immediate use. Some large agencies make up their own advertising plates, while others leave them up to the discretion of the Star. Ludlow, linotype, folders, and the large rotary press were shown to and discussed by the visitors in the make-up department. The rotary press costs between thirty and forty thousand dollars. It requires four men for operation. Five and six years apprentice- a unionised operator of any of these machines.

Simultaneously a loud resounding knock was heard at the somber locking house on the corner of Thistle and Acorn Avenues. The door was opened some, 25 seconds later by an aud- acious looking member of the weaker sex, with two precocious gentlemen peering over her shou- lder at-their visitor. He came briefly to the point wlth a re- qulsition of their services, they being world renown, and the pride and joy of the F. B. I.

All they could learn there was that with Miss Duke as his inspiration ,he always managed to remain in the world of the living. Hearing a volume: of clapping from Madison Square Garden they stopped to investigate and saw Mary Jane Cox presenting an ex- hibition of fancy roller skating with Gene McKinley looking proud- ly on. Cn the billboard of com- ing attractions they saw another name on the list of suspects. Howard Roberts, -a millionaire ball champion, was to play in a star performance there the fol- lowlng evening.

Time elapsed and we found our- selves in the fourth grade. To the roster of the first grade were added a few names that year. Barbara Cochran and Richard John- son Jolned us from Muncie. Wllma Brlnson came from Gaston, Jane Norrlck from Harrison, andDavld Riebeling from Blackford Co. Joining us in our fifth year were Ilah Addington from Mlllgrove and Cash Mlllspaugh from Gaston. As we successfully entered the sixth grade, again fate brought us some welcome newcomers. Clara Conk- right and Karl Dlx came from Mun- cle and John Turner from Cowan. This ls it! Flnally after six years of building a flrm founda- tion we found ourselves walking down the big hallto the assembly. Bells!! Bells!! Teachers! More Teachers! All was very confusing! We were practically lost. Some little zremllns appeared to tor- ment us and made us get into the wrong classes at the wrong time. All the upper classmen thought we were 'silly but they forgot that they, too, were in the seventh grade once! Mary Etta and Flora Mae Simmons joined us to make us a 'larger problem group.' . CREENNESSI SILLINESSI DATES! All these'Freshy' characteristics holded us all together ln our flrst year of high school for a common purpose--to be different yet successful! We had skating and class parties. With Miss Learid distributing the bad Grem- lin-polscn, we selected our of- ficers as follows: president, David Rlebellngg vice-president, John Turnerg secretary and treas- urer, Lavon Lewellen. The good gremlins being on our slde, we successfully pulled through the final exams.

SEEDUSINESS, STUDENTS J TAKE IQIVEIE SERVICE EX, E. G. Keesllng, representative of the Sixth U. S. Clvll Service region, recently explained to the senior girls about governmental positions as which are avail- able to high school graduates through civil service examination channels. As a result of the discussion, fourteen individuals took the test in the typing room on Tues- day mornlng, March 27, under the supervision of E. G. Keesllng of the Cincinnati office. The typlst and clerical tests were given. The former consisted of a ten-minute q md and accuracy test. The latter was an aptitude test of a clerical nature, which tested one's ability to follow directions, to alphabetlze, to file, and to see figures and words accurately and concisely. Vital civil service positions are available throughout Chic, Indiana, Kentucky, mlwashlngton, D. C. ,Each applicant wnl be notified by mall concerning the results of her test. Those who pass will be given an opportunity to select a place where they should like to work or lf they wish to work this tvne of Job at all. n By Barbara Cochran Many of the seniors have for- mulated definite plans for the rapidly approaching summer and fall.

The name of the festival in most lan- guages is taken from the Hebrew 'pesach, meaning pasaover, as by -the first Chrlstains -Easter was considered a continuation' of the feast of the Passover, at which thepeschal lamb, symbolof christ, was sacrificed. ' Z master ls not always held on :the same date. The Church coun- cil of Hioaea decided that this day should be celebrated on, the first Sunday after the first full moon on or after larch 21. Easter can come as early as larch 22 or as late as April 25. lany customs have been and 'still are observed in churches and ,homes as expression -of Joy because Christ rose from the dead. The Easter service is the most elaborate of the church year. The message, 'The Lord is risen,' le expressed in ceremonies, prayer, 'and music. Besides the elaborate ,church services, sunrise services are held outdoors in many places. Some of these have won national fame because of the beauty of their surroundings, such as those at Pikes Peak in Colorado, the 'Grand Canyon of Arizona, and the Hollywood Bowl., The white lily, the symbol of the Resurrection, ls the special flower. Rabbits and coloring of eggs have come from pagan anti- quity as symbols of new life. The red coloring of eggs typlfies the Lblocd of redemptlong other colors ,have no special significance. The presence of the Easter 'rabbit' in the festivities, may be traced, to the old bel1ef'that rabbits lay eggs on Easter Eve. This superstition, is thought by some authorities to be of Teutonic origin, and is the basis-of many THA.

The book was very different from ours--one main difference being that it opens from left to. right instead of from right to le t as our books dog consequehtf ly, it seems to us that the book reaasfrrem the back to the front. Many subjects were introduced! in this one volume such as geog- repay, physics, health, geometry, English, and algebra. J The English language was used s great deal throughout the book. For example, the algebra was in English, mathematics was in English numerals, and the geome- trical figures were marked in English. However, there were Japanese discussion of the fig- ll!'Qle Another great difference be- tween the book and ours was that the material is written verti- nallv instead of horizontally. 6 BAKER ' LAMBERT v VOVS SPOKEN By Jane Herrick The wedding of Miss Evelyn Ann Baker, youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harry E.

' ,g fam UISHES,G,REGORY In looking forward, concerning our next school year, we realize that Hrs. Gregory, will not be here. During the past eighteen years, she has guided many E.H.S. students along the road of sci- ence, and all haveggreatly appre- ciated her efforts. Also, she has never been too 'busy to take time for explanations' regarding var- ious interests and hobbies of students. We regret that a change of residence necessitates her with- drawal frmmour school, but across the miles we shall be with her in thought and good wishes. . . . -. - l , SENlURSg Ye' ' ' AA 3,-,' , I , h'iNav' ' 'Ihirty one members of the 12945 graduating class will be enter- tained with a dinner party at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Gibson on Friday evening, April 15. The entertaining rooms will be decorated in keeping with the .Spring season. ' .mn .369 Now is the appropiate time for seniors to say Farewell' to our classmates and school faculty. We have long-awaited this time. How- ever, ncw that the time is draw- ing nelgh we look at leaving ln a different light. We realize that our class group will be separated and class members will go their different ways and probably the date is very near when we will all be together for the last time. From the time we entered the seventh grade and saw the various Senior Classes come and go, we patiently awaited, and wondered how we would feel upon entering 'senior-hood'. New it seems as time has flown and lt doesn't seem possible that it can be us who are the seniors this yearlw We have all witnessed little 'spate and quarrels' with our teachers and sometime have won- dered why they must be so strict and make such monotonous, rules and regulations. As we have grown older and are about to go out into this big, old, troublesome world, we are beginning to re- alize more and more how right our teachers, were in thelr dlslpllng of us. We are very greatful to the teachers for they have been a great influence in our life. We appreciate all that we have learned from our books and the 'little lectures'. To our under classmen, the juniors or pre-seniors of 1945-46 we leave our best and sincere wishes for a very prosperous and happy senior year and hope that good fortune will be with them as it has with us. We hope that they will have- the fun and exciting events .that we have witnessed throughout our final high school year. We hope that 'some pleasant memories of us, as seniors, will long ring in the halls and class- rooms in the minds of the teach- ers and our former classmates who are still enrolled' here in old E.H.S. We shall say 'Good-bye' and 'Thank You' to all of you- ths principal, teachers, office clerk, cooks,matron, and Janitors who have helped us in one way or another to graduate! You shall always live within our memory 11 ' ny aargEec 6011132 EVANGELIBT srmxs p I S An assembly program was enjoy- ed by the students and teachers on Thursday morning, March 15. Rev.

As is 'suggested by the title it is one hundred per cent? American in story and character. The cast was well chosen and each one played his part excellently ctnanxs to their director, Mrs. Wallace.J Gene Poe .and B111 Taylor ,who played the parts of Henry Pack, Jr. and 5ghgltz,' acted perfectly natural ,and had the house in spasms of laughter. Miles Jackson played the part of Melville Beaumont with becoming dignity and sclamnity. Barbara Ziglar and ,Marthade1 Fisher, as Lizzle andDahlla, were a HUGE success. ' Bill Harmon, as Mr. Peck, Sr., lived the perfectly ridiculous life-of a hen packed husband and through a very unnatural experi- ence with the Hullabaloo Mines. Betty Ann cdem-an and Earl Lit- tle, Louella and Clifford, showed marked ability in their courtship scenes. ithanks to'Mrs. Wallace's excellent coaching--no doubt? We must say that Lois Watt and Bill Felt as Minnie and Jimmy, made more mischief on une-stage. than in their natural routine. Joyce Gourley,when.she appear- ed as Mus.

The boys are gaining experience by presenting the demonstration at various meetings throughout the county. This experience is valu- able to them in that lt acts as a medium through which manypnrsonal contacts are made. A feeling of ease when speaking before a group is obtained, and the ability to think while on their feet ls gain- ed since the audlence ls permitt- ed to ask any questions they wish concerning related information to the project. The Indiana General Bervlce Company, believing this a very worth -while project stimulating the public to use pig brooders and. thus increase the pork pro- duction per sow, are financing the demonstration. The Vocational Agriculture boys of the llth and 12th grade studied the production of tree fruits in the class room. Real- izing that such work cannot be fully learned from Vbooks, the boys have renovated an old or- chard of about a dozen 'treas. This pruning included the cutting out of dead wood, thinning out to permit the entrance .of sunlight, and heading back the trees. After pruning the orchard, the class members started a spray schedule to control diseases such as scale purchased by the Vocational Agri- culture Department from earnings of the various, paper drives held during the last two years.' ytqv Po-fu Pemb Pied? -The Vbcational Agriculture De- partment, in order to obtain more practical work, has rented five acres of ground from Bert Fcust. The department is putting Hn plot ,on an experimental basis. ' The boys, ln cooperation with .the Eaton Canning Company, will grow two and one-half acres of tomatoes. Experiments will be made concerning methods and rates of fertilization. . The remaining two and one-half acres will be seeded ln soybeans in cooperation with 0. C. Russell 'and Son. The new Lincoln variety of soybeans will be produced for seed purposes. Experiments will dealggith rates of seeding. Four plots, each one-half acre lnslze, will be seeded ln the row at the 'following rates: 20, 30, 40, and '50 pounds. per acre.
