EATON I ENS Volume l - NC. 5 Eaton High School--Eaton, Indlana JRTIUZIPY NSINISTER STATIONH IS WELL ,ACCEPTED BY LARGE AUDIENCE !Seniors Present Mystery Comedy Under Supervision Of Wallace E Gibson. iii-1 The Seniors presented a mys- tery comedy-in 3 acts, entitled Hsinister Station,N on January 31, 1945 in the Eaton High School Auditorium under the direction of Virginia Wallace and Robert M. 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. R. LaFollette, attended the American Historical Assoc1at1on's fifty- nlnth annual meeting which was held at they Stevens Hotel in Chicago on December 28 and 29. 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. ' STUDENTS OF AG. 8 STUDY LIVESTOCK, DAIRY, A GRAIN JUDGING The students of Agriculture 8 are studying the judging of live- stock, dairy and grains this se- mester. This type of work not only teaches the selection of the proper kind.of livestock but also directs the'students attention to the value of close observation, and teaches him to be able to ex- press the conclusions at which he arrives- Students who place highest in .each of the above types of judg- ing will have their names placed upon a plaque to. be hung in the agricultural room.

' ' The Norsemen had little trou- ble ln handling the Bulldogs and quickly demonstrated their supe- rlorty ln the flrst quarter when they allowed 'the Bulldogs only one. point when they hit a foul shot while the Norse copped 12. Ahead every step of the way, they d1dn't allow the Gaston squad to make a show in any period of the SHBQQ ' ' In the second quarter, Coach Hall decided to give the Bulldogs a break by relieving the squad of the regulars and sending ln subs. Even with this ln their favor, Gaston- was stlll unable to hold the Norse as Dlx, a reserve, stole away 6 points to make the score 16 to 6 with the Norse flr- ing away at the half.

The Norse pulled the game from the rapid Panthers to stretch their winning string to 4 wins and 2 losses. After DeSoto threatened the game by getting off to an early lead with 5 points ln the first few minutes of play after the opening whistle, the Norsemen squad was forced to get into ac- tlonl -DeSoto lead 9 to 7 at the end of the flrst period but the Norse got busy and lifted the an- chor to sail into a 19 to 13 lead ..gXi:gX IN 'N NQ . 4 ll! , 'N Q s f Although fast and clever, the DeSoto Panthers were unable -to conquer the tall husky Norsemen since the Norsemen crew netted a five point margin at the end of the third quarter of play. All partisans of Eaton were happy and excited to have the game end with a score of 35 to 50 ln favor of 'their team. Riebellng contributed largely to the Norsemen's vlctory as he rang the bell 7 times from the field and tossed in 4 from the foul line to make 18 points.

It was a fast battle as well as a rough one with the Norsemen crew outranging Bummitvllle ln both height and power. Rlebeling was lost in the fourth quarter via the personal foul route. In the first period of play, Roberts rece1ved'a cut under the right eye but after being 'fixed up by Coach Hall, he resumed his position on the team. Turner re- ceived a nasal lnjury with about five minutes remalnlng ln the final period and was forced to withdraw from the game. ' The Norsemen enjoyed a five point margin at the half and dis- played sufflclent power to stave off the high flying Gobllns. The Norse took the lead at the begin- ning of the second quarter and kept it until Summltvllle tied lt up in the fourth. The Victory Issue was in doubt until nSk1p' Myers whlzzed 'down the floor to disllluslon the hopes of the Sum- mltvllle fans and players as he banged ln a fleld goal with only seconds remaining to break the tie and put Eaton ahead 28 to 26 +A .dana tha ammo- . None of the seven players used by Coach Hall were outstanding, but all operated with efficiency to glve the Gobllne their second defeat in ten starts.

The Norsemen went about the business of winning their sixth game by defeating the opponent 30 to 27. The purple and gold got away to an early lead and managed tohang on throughout the contest. The 'kittens' made their most de- termined bld in the fourth quar-- ter to draw within three points of the Norsemen. Bmoot started the net waving first as he sank one from the field to make a starting two points for the Norsemen. Serving as head jshooters for the Norsemen were Rlebellng and Roberts who tied for nine points each and Smoot followed close be- hind with 8 polnts. b The Muncie 'C' took the prelim- inary game-50 to 16.

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. CHORUS SINGS FOR LIONS' CLUB ' The High School Gir1's Chorus, under the direction of Elizabeth Kerchevsl, presented s delightful resume of selections fa'the Eaton Lions' Club and their wives on Monday evening, January 22, at the Christian Church. The Chorus Aseleoted as their numbers for the evening HNight- ingaleu by Koepke and NStoutheart- ed Venn by Rombery. As an encore HDedicationH by Franz was given. TIPS A FROM THE oLD Tsoopss 4. , in Hg? .gig 'Q ' T.: 'Experience is e good school master, but the fees are high.W Have had lots of complaints on the conditions of the gym. I mean the trash that is thrown around. If you want to go down there, which is perfectly all right, please refrain from throwing sp- ple cores, orange peelings and paper on the floor.---From the looks of the assembly at times, we should put in sleeper space.-- Soap is scarce,.but hot water and soap will remove that dingy color from some people's hands end neck. After all, cleanliness is healthful, and with those disease germs floating around, why take e chance?---I hear the seniors have a knockout of s playg we'l1 have to come and see it.--- How's about that quiet pedal in the lower halls? The teachers down there enjoy some peace and quiet. The Norsemen looked nice in the tournament until they started to play bell. What I mean is their new jackets looked fine. Have had some trouble in the mornings with people who dnl to report in the assembly. When you come in the front door make a bee-line for the assembly.--The weather has been cold,but heven't the Janitors done a wonderful job in keeping the building warm? ---- How about it, Norsemen---? We'd sure here like to beat Royerton over ---Suppose you can rise up once and smite the foe? ----- Think I'll see that game.---How about you? 'Steven KEEP YOUR CHILD AT HOKE IF HE IS ILL HELP PREVENT AN EPIDENIC2 The school officials have contacted Doctor Stover, County Health Officer, and he informs us that, any child with any form of sore throat should be kept at home, at least until that condition has ceased to exist. If e chhd comes to school with e sore throat he or she will be isolated in the hall. In case someone at home has s sore throat please keep other school children at home a day or two until the condition of the child has im- Kproved. Your cooperation with the school will be greatly appreciat- nri. ,
