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. ,

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.

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.

Bruun of Sarah Lawrence College of New York presented an exposition entitled 'Eighteenth- Century Despots and Twentieth- Century D1ctators.'

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.

HELEN MEYER CHOSEN CHAIRMAN OF SEED SALES Flower And Garden Seeds From Hygrade Seed Company Distributed In Grades The energetic grade children are storming the houses of the Eaton community selling flower and garden seeds forfuture vio- tory gardens. 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. Mrs. Helen Meyer, chair- man of the committee in charge of sales, has requested that every- one help make this project a success. ' EATON BOYS' SH. 4-H CLUB OF UNIOR AND NILES TWPS.

YE , Heay we l 2 -Q meggage SELECTION AND CARE OF ONE'S CLOTHING ESSENTIAL TO SUCCESS One of the vital factors in enhancing the personality is the selection and carenn one's cloth- ing. 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.
