He was born in England in 586 and died in 465. When he was sixteen years old some wild Irish men captured him and took him to Ireland where he spent six years as a swineherder. He later returned' to England and became a missionary. The Irish people called him back to Ireland where he established churches, missionaries, and Christianity. When 'he died an ancient stone chair, of the Rock of Chashel, was erected in' his honor. He founded over 300 churches and converted over 120,000 people. The clover came from the'pattern of the Shamrock leaf that meant 'Three in 0ne'. It is also claimed that on his death, March 17, 465, there was no night for twelve days. IMRS.

Ufot ' By Betty Ann Cochran During this war, we have heard many complaints about the minor inconveniences of our life--minon at least, compared with the dif- ficult times of those on the battlefields. Dad thinks it's 'outrageous' because s portion of his pay- check is taken for war bonds, never thinking of how much bonds 'are needed 'for war materials. Mother declares she 'just can't manage' without more sugar or some other rationed foods and thinks there's no need for such things being rationed. Sister 'can t possibly attend that party without a new dress' and can't find the kind she wants because .then labor -supply and materlals are decreased. Brother grumbles about not having enough gasoline or tires as he is not able totake the car as much as he'd like. He doesn't see any reason for gas- oline to be rationed and spoil his good times. Others that have to abide by the midnight curfew think it is 'simply uncalled for! They might get home earlier than they used to. Yes, there's ,a war going on, but sinceit 1sn't being fought on American soil the' majority of us think we shouldn't have to change very much from our peacetime living. A picture of real sacrifices was portrayed in a recent news- paper article. Fourteen women employees of Eli Lilly and Com- pany of Indianapolis volunteered to handle thousands of mice which the laboratory officials said, was a most hazardous job, The laboratory is trying to develpp a serum for a serious tropical disease, and with the experiments there is danger of infection. The serum is to be injected into the mice, and these women will work with them in a specially constructed department to which only volunteers will be admitted. Also, the dangerous nature ofthis work was explained to the employ- ees before the call for volunteers was made. These women and many others like them, are making all kinds of sacrifices today for the.bet- terment of the world and with the hope that this war will-end soon because of their efforts, inpart. We surely owe each one a debt of' gratitude. . The next: time we' start to 'gripe' about the 'poorer quality of this'orthe 'shortage of that' we should remember what a small bit we are giving up in compar- leon to that which so many others are giving--their all. ' Kstuart, Baslneok--Con' t X Several local senior boys found the meeting on engineering both educational and interesting. W.A. Knapp, Associate Dean of Engineering at Purdue University was speaker. Among other sessions attended by local Seniors were those on secretarial work, occupational therapy, agriculture, beauty cul- ture, costume design, personnel management, medical technology, home making and mechanics. Wesley Pierce, instructor of printing at Central-High School, showed members of the darn' Staff as well as many other members of the local Senior Class, through the print shop, where we saw the tournament issue of the 'Munson- 1an,' Central High School publi- cation, 'going to press.' OUR EAR By' Robert M. Gibson The end of another school year is rapidly approaching and it is wise at such a time to stop for a minute to take inventory to see what I as an individual student have really aocompollehed. Eight months of' my time are really worth something either in per- sonal development ' through the school experience or in dollars and oentslf employed in lndustry. Above all. things, this time should not have been wasted. Too many students are content to take the road of least resistance. This accounts for the great number of 'D' students in our school who are content to do just enough to get by. These are students who sleep if a little tired 'rather than do their work, read magazines and library books in study periods, see something funny and disturb the rest of the student body, miss school on the least excuse, are dlscourteous and ' inoonsiderate with their parents and teachers and complain about their grades--knowing full well they are capable of doing better. If you are one of those 'D' students who are content in merely getting by, this year--for the most part--has been a bed investment for you. The world is full of the common herd people represented by you students who -are Just getting by. What the world wants and is begging for is young men and women with ambition amlnxsllisenengzho Wan' 120 40 something worthwhile. Buch-youths are generally the leaders in the classroom I urge each of you, therefore, to think serious-, 'ly about this matter and remember it is never to late to mend your VEYB' '

As he began his first act he said: 'When I grow too old to dream, I'll still blow bubbles.' Hr. Plasterer used humor along with his acts which llvened up 'the show a great deal. Mrs. Plasterer assisted him ln some of the Aacts. Their theme song was 'I'm.,!orever Blowing Bubbles' which was played on the piano by his accbmpanist, Mrs. Kelly. The belief that nothing can be done with soap bubbles except blow them and watch them break, was allayed after seeing this great show. .

Stuart, managing editor of the Indianapolis Star,' at the Career Conference Day held February 21, at Central High School in Muncie. 'Good health, psrserverance, alertness, accuracy, rssponsibll-A ness, and observation are lm- portant issues for a good news- wr1ter,' stated Hr. Stuart. He also stated that trlfle incidents can make good stories if they are presented in the right way. . Mary Basineck, a renowned re- porter of the Indianapolis Star, told of many interesting exper- iences which have occured during her newswritlng career. Her most impressive story was that of the Ohio River flood of 1957. Gretchen Kemp, copy reader for the Indianapolis Star: Mary Alice Clark, local editor of 'Stuff and Nonsense' for the Muncie Sunday Star: John Ferr1s,manag1ng editor of the Muncie Star, and Joe Craven, photographer of the Ind- ianapolis Star were also present. 'Mr.Craven stated that Mrs. Roose- velt was the most difficult lndivldual to photograph--but, incidentally, this problem was solved at a national pmtographers meeting so now we have better plcturss of the First Lady.

rq0nu l4GV'O 'S E THE REASON LIHY K we Lest Tho Sectional 1 By Jane Norrick Dot, dot, dot, dash! The cat's out of the bag! Here is the solu- tion--the real reason that we dldn't win the sectional. Flash! New creations direct from Paris! Via Norway! The popular color trend in March is purple and gold!!! Upon their arrival, girls were screaming, boys yelling,--WSave one for me,W WI want one too.WThe faculty, acting as the well known traffic coppers, rushed to the scene in the upper hall! People crowded around Coach Hall as if he actually had a car- load of T-bone steaks or two pounds of butter for sale. In- stead, much to my chagrin--for I was rushing with-the rest of the mob--he was only selling 'beanies' made up in the school's colors! Yes, all three styles were par- ading around through the halls and in the class rooms atop the skulls of little boys, big boys, little girls, big girls, seniors and fire graders alike! I never saw such a profusion of colors in what started out -as just an ordinary school day in my life!!! First, there was the 'sailor' --gold with purple tassels and num- erals which was worn by some .et a haughty angle over one eye, and precariously on of the cranium. by others, hung the back portion Next came the 'high-schoolersW type known among as the Wjeep hat.W This Wjeep hat' resembles the jockey hat in that it has a tipped -bill and is topped with a sauoey button. It was quite a favorite with the ladies since they could cast an irresistable glance toward the fellows in the study hall, while being shielded by its ,perky bill. Need1esE4to- say, this camouflaging device was not appreciated by the faculty. Younger students selected the Wbes ie to help the express their enthusiasm for the local high school quintet in the sec- t1Ona1e Now, why weren't these fine bits of beautifying array ra- tioned? le all wanted one! Why don't you suppose the 'yen' for the team to win was just as great and ardent in Gurvls Conner as in Barbara Cochran? But, then I realize Coach Hall just d1dn't have the time nor the rigorous health necessary to run up to Washington ,on the crowded trains and discuss this' w1th'a 0.P.A. Director Bowled. Since the supply of hats was sc inadequate to ihe fCon't top of next column! . demand, our morale was low!

The Library has been greatly improved this year by the addi- tion of several new books--both fiction and non-fiction.

The Library is and money payment of also well-stocked with various magazines, which are the most popular of 'L1fe,W WSeventeen,W and 'Readers' Dlgest.W There are now 19 current magazines on the shelves. with all of the reference books, our Library provides much help to those who seek various types of information. Approxi- mately 140 volumes have been re- bound by the Hickman Bindery in North Manchester. Consequently, the bright new covers have ln- oreased the popularity of these books. They have been brought back to life--so to speak. Those students .who act as ll- brarians receive training and ex- perlence in this field. They learn to work with our best sources of knowledge--books, and help others find this knowledge. Our Library is greatly appreci- ated now, and there are many pos- sibilities for its future growth.
