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.

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. ,

Orchids with silver ribbons ex- , ORCHIDS tended. to Mrs, LaFollette for her ,I ' ' 'L praieeworthy contribution to the t.a12, 'J 'AND pep session. .L K ! M: ,Q tl V,u.:.21 ' 'moans Orchids to Mr.Hall for selling those cute little purple and gold hats. Practically everyone was wearing one except those who got there too late. They just would- n't go around to everyone who happened to want- one! But then maybe he'll get some more in at a later date in time for the Sec- tional ,Tourney. But--thorns to those who wear them in the school building. 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. They simply backed out via the sidewalk. Sounds simple---but is it??? Just ask H. and K, Thorns to Mr. Ross for peeking in on the Post Office players at the Freshman Christmas party. Can't those poor kids have any Drlvaoy??? Thorns to all boogie-woogie players in E, H, S. for inter- rupting a perfectly beautiful speed test in typing class 7th period. I'll bet every one would have broken their speed records lf their nerves had not been so rude- ly shattered at that lnopportune time H Orchids to the Senior Class for oelng strictly on the beam with their timely selling of purple and gold streamers at the county tour- unamentk .Thorns to the little gremlin that causes cars to collide with, cars! Hon. Spy was breezlng a- round on Mrs. Eastman's bumper one evening last week when the car unceremoniously rammed the one in front. .Now his feelings are de- finately injured over his lost dignity and he refuses to ride with her hereafter, Now, how are we going to learn the inside dope? Orchids to our faculty for al- ways retalnlng their well-groomed appearance and sense of good humor. Hon. Spy was snooping a- round at the tournament taking men- tal notes on the subject and he decldely points the spot light with pride to the feminine members of our faculty as rating highest Ln the county, Our hats are off to them! 4 Thorns to those students who just can't get .up soon enough to get to school on time. Wonder why they can't get up any ear- l1er?? Now if they rode on e school bus they would have to get up sooner or else walk to school. Do you -suppose that lO minutes after school will help any??? A broken down car isn't a very good excuse for oversleeping, is it girls??? Orchids to Mrs. Gregory for finally telling the biggest tall tale in Physics class. With Miles Jackson and Karl Dix, the expert tall tale tellers, no one else has a chance.' Does he, Mrs. Gregory? She has proof, too, boys, after all, that Biology class was present when the snake was cuffopen. Thorns to the snow drifts that keep interfering with the 'love- life' of certain EHS students. It's too bad for is it?l when the snow doesn't start to drift until along about midnight when 1t's time to go home. But then maybe she'll keep you over night!!! It's kinda nice to have her dad to pull you out of the snow drift next morning, too, 1sn't it Bob?? 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. After all the teachers don't like to be the only people at school when it's the least little bit drifted or icy and the school buses can't get in. . Orchids to the Seniors for having such a large number of their class members on the Decem- ber honor roll. Let's keep up the good work Seniors! 'C r 'QW hit ZIGLE fhffbf H G.. N5a Q. v' XQS, Ov 24' Xk 4 ' I O9 CRUMBS AND CRACKEHS Have you noticed K. Dix always site in the back of the assembly, very near the teacher's desk at noon?? Stick around a little longer, Karl, you might manage an E i in band next month. One never knows, does one???? Do you suppose Mr. Glbsonwould be thinking of, starting a dog kennel?? The reason I suspect it is---would you believe itll' Lo and Behold!! At the Center game Mr. Gibson walked ln, sat down, pulled a dog book out of hlspakf et, and ignored the world around him!!! Did you know that Shirley L. has characteristic mannerisms which 'indicate that she might belong to the Junior Class? At any rate, she wears a Jr. Class ring. Have you noticed Junior S. has another shlner? If some guydoes- n't lose his temper and haul off with a right swing, he walks right in, the path of 'Big Dave R1ebe11ng.' ' FLASHlll I heard M. Collins not only writes the sports column for the school papmy but she also participates in the noon basket- ball program. Watch this gall! She might turn out to be a Wdark horsen and win the sectional for use I wonder why the same charac- ters are playing opposite each other in the Sr. play??? Karl, d1dn't you know that Margaret has a sailor on her list? Remember the Navy's tough competition. Why won't Barbara C. type on any other typewriter but the Un- derwood?? Gee, I wish we could all have our choice. Jane is going to have to meet B. H. half way. Gas tanks nowa- days just won't stand those 50 mile trips three times weekly. From the looks of that eye, Phillips, there must be some guy around E. H. S. with a' hotter temper than yours. Wonder who it could be???? It must be wonderful,B. Knotq that Martha Rearick lives within walking distance from your house. Convenient 1sn't 1t??? Say, from what I hear, that -guy- Ben Holdren really gets a- roundlli By the way, who's his latest flame?? I hear that a date with B. Walters on Friday night is liable to end up being a weekend affair ---if there are too many snow drifts to go through. Just ask Helen Cooley if this 1sn't true. Mildred Johnson certainly is interested in the whereabouts of N. Holdren. She even called him, on the telephone one day con- cerning his absence from schoollt Mildred, you are sort of in Twlla Sm1th's territory aren't you???2 P.T.A.
