We think of the good times we've had not forget- ting, of course, the other side of the .plcture. There ls, or should be, an urge to improve in many ways during the coming year. We are still at war but can be more optimistic than in the past. 1945 may bring us peace and good- There are many tunlties to look the coming 'year. the same, but all aims and oppor- forward to in None will 'be can and lust be worthwhile, if 1945 is to be the successful year we want it to be. Whatever our, aims may be, a desire to finish our education successfully, to, improve in ath- letics, to be the best kind of a person we can be, or any other resolution, we must not give them up when the road ls rough and narrowg we must continue ,until our goals are attained. . - There is a definite challenge for us, here at home, to think a- bout: The men 'over there' have traveled a long' way on the road to victory, and some see .the termination of it not for away: they aren't giving up until the last mile is behind tnemg aren't we even willing to begin? --Betty A.-Cochran' ' STUDENT COUNCIL FAILS AN IMPORTANT PHASE OF DUTY Convocation Programs Sadly , Missed by Students d Faculty 1 .Remember.thoee exceedingly en- tertaining and enjoyable convoca- tion .programs we used to have? Weren't they interesting? Well, why. oan't we have them aga1n?, Now don't say that we haven't any free periods for such unnecessary dlverslon because we have! After all, what le that first period of mornings for anyway? It was orl- glnally set aside for convoca- tlonsggwss lt not? + There are numerous kinds ot entertainment that could be en- joyed by both students and n mlty. For example, there are amateur programs, speakers, discussion 'groupe, and many other types of interesting and amusing programs In preceding years st 'one of these oonvocatione a senior boy played his trumpet, at another--a 'kitchen' symphony was enjoyed, 'and at still others--thenunlsters have spoken. ' 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.

Geraldine Spurgon and Fred Wright placed second and third add1ngg.,500 and 428 pounds respectively. . l 'Working students' of Mrs. Shook's room will have their pic- tures 1n the school year book since they made a greater contri- .bution to the scrap drive than students of other rooms. Their total collection amounted to 2848 pounds. All students and individuals of our local community were urged to contribute papers and mag- azines to this drive because of its two-fold importance. First, paper is greatly needed to aid in the wnr effort-in many ways and secondly, the money derived as a- result of this drive will aid the school. DEL. COUNTY 4-H GRAIN SHOW HELD IN MUNCIE F1ELD HOUSE The' Eastern Indiana District Corn and Small Grain and the Deleware County 'Annual 4-H Show was held December 8 and 9 at the Field House in Muncie.

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 BAND SELECTS TWIRLERS with the help of hiss Kercheval, the officers of the bend selected twirlers the first period Thurs- day, November 30. Thirty-five competed for this honor and out of these, six were chosen. They are Nancy Quirk, Caroline Felt, Geraldine Spurgon, Janet Cruea, Phyllis Richardson, and Jean 'Bu11er. bl- A By Uworld Front Program'. I The Sophomore Class, accompan- ied by its sponsor, Hrs.

LOCAL STUDENTS GIVS 321.08 .' o1ss0N:5 'LIFE IS BUILT TMHCNORWROLL' 4 q The Eaton High School honor Jationslrs T. B.1. 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. 'r ' CAFETERIA MANAGEMENT AND HELP HAS PHYSIQAL EXAMINATIONS All cafeteria help, students and adults, were given a physical examination Wednesday, December 6 in the princ1ps1's office by Leatha Ann McFal1s, Delaware County School Nurse. These exam- inations are given free each year es they are required by the State Health Departments. AROUND VARIETY OF HOBBIES An' amazing new discovery, in the 'World of Hobbies' duringkthe pastj months has 'been' tried-and proved successfu1 'HbyHH6urf1bwn principal ,ana :faculty 'advlsorg Mr. Robert Gibson.

It bears out the time worn theory that hobbies may .contribute financially ae well as to' provide and interesting and edpoational past time. 4' Mr. G1bson's bumper crop con- sists of nineteen acres which will contribute financially as well as to provide an outlet for his pent up emotions' stored through, a day's time. Any one would readily realize that list- ening to tne pet grievances of the student body and at the same time attempting the 'preparation of the Seniors to climb the long ladder to success, is a drain on even the hardiest specimen of man. We .believeg that when Mr. Gibson finds adequate time Lu ap- ply his master mind to the de- velopment of this latest hobby it will become so profitable he will devote' his entire time to 'the 9l'iteI'pI'1Z6. ,N V .
