Miss Cochran and the typing classes are growing terribly discouraged. Have you heard about Eaton's No. I glamor boy? Bill Huffman now gets in line with the rest of the girls and waits to use Mrs. Eastman's mirror in the typing room. ' NEW SEEGER REFRIGEHATOR IS A REAL AID T0 CAFETERIA HELP The Seeger refrigerator which 'was ordered the first of the pre- sent school year has arrived and is being greatly appreciated by the cooks and students, since it -has made some major changes ln the cafeteria organization. As a result of this purchase, we obtain bottled milk from Pro- ducers' Dairy of Muncie. Here-to- fore, our cafe help had tc bottle local milk by hand. Now, the cooks have much more time to de- vote to other work. This equipment has a capacity of 20 cubic feet which is large enough to hold one day's supply of milk for both the students drinking and cooking purposes.

EATON HIGH SCHOOL GROUPS ENJOY SEASONAL PARTIES The Halloween spirit was re- flected this year throughout the various parties of several high school groups. 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.

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.
