The winners also re­ceive traveling expenses to and from college and $25 a month towards liv­ing expenses.

Any senior graduating during 1946 may try for these generous, four-year awards. He must be voted by his classmates as being among the top five percent of his class "most likely to succeed." This group will then take the special test, prepared and scored by the College Entrance Ex­amination Board, which will be given in high schools throughout the coun­try on February 15, 1946. Registra­tion for these scholarships closes Jan­uary 1, 1946.

BONDS AND STAMPS Central students have purchased a

total of $10,805.90 in bonds and stamps during the present Victory Loan Drive. This sum includes pur­chases made Monday, the 17th of December.

A LETTER TO SANTA

The radio sputtered static as Mary Ann and her mother anxiously bent over it. At last from the big noise of the radio Santa Claus boomed forth from the magical little box and Mary Ann sank back into her pillow and pulled her covers up close, while her mother pulled a tattered arm chair up to the little table by the bed to listen.

Mrs. Smith nervously tucked the blankets close around her daughter to protect her from the cold that seeped in at the cracks of the doors and win­dows and then settled down to listen to the program.

"Oh, if only she will go to sleep before the end of the program. Or maybe I can tell her he read her letter before we turned the radio on." Mrs. Smith thought worriedly for she knew how her crippled daughter's hopes were set on hear­ing her letter to Santa Claus read over the radio.

Outside the snow was falling like downy feathers, each flake gently lighting on the ground as if in fear of disturbing the perfectness of the snow blanket upon the ground. Through the window by her bed Mary Ann could see the gay lights of an out door Christmas tree twink­ling through the fiufiy snow flakes.

Her attention returned to the pro­gram when on the radio Santa started

to read another letter.

"Now this is a letter from a little girl named Betty Richardson and she says, 'Dear Santa, Please bring me and so the voice droned on and on. Mary Ann fixed her eyes upon the peaceful scene before her while she listened for her name. After what seemed an endless age the jovial voice announced:

"Well, I guess that's all the letters, kiddies. See you Christmas." And she suddenly realized that her letter had not been read. Suppressing a sob she looked for the first time at her mother who lay sound asleep in her chair.

Then Mary Ann thought how hap­py her mother would be had her daughter's letter been read and how very bad she would feel if she were sad, so summoning as much gaiety to her voice as she could, she called, "Mother, Mother, guess what Santa read my letter, mother! The very last one!"

Mrs. Smith, who awoke at her daughter's words, smiled sweetly at her.

"I knew he would dear! I knew he would!" As she rose to turn off the radio a paper in her pocket crackled slightly, the letter which had failed to go off for lack of a three­cent stamp!

99 STUDENTS GRADUATE ON JAN. 16

"CAP AND GOWN"

DAY TUESDAY

By LOIS JONES

Among the graduates of the .Janu­ary '46 class are many service peo­ple who have acquired enough cred­its while in the service to suffice for high school graduation. These .fellow graduates, most of whom will be absent from the ceremonies, are:

Robert Bjoraas, John Bill, Dale Brinley, Robert Chezem, John Fla­herty, Don Lewis Glaser, Allen Hib­berd, Helen Kundek, Henry Luzny, Kenneth McDonald, Clyde Mabry, John VanderBeck, William Voss, Dar­rell Williams, Earl Williamson, Ron­ald Topping.

The Senior A bag of events is still packed full for the next month or so after a long, hard journey of four years through the halls of Central.

Our travelogue indicates the next stop to be Monday afternoon, Janu­ary the 7th, where they'll be taken in by the Senior A tests. They'll stay over at that depot for Tuesday morn­ing, January the 8th, to be fully "granulated" by those monstrous jobs. Cap and Gown Day

For moral support on that Tues­day morn caps and gowns will be­deck many proud, yet jittery grads. This pompous regalia may be dis­played all through the day and will be reco'l'ded iu the anuaTs or bistory by moving pictures which are to be taken, too.

Announcements, which have al­ready been ordered, will be distrib­uted on the morning of the 8th, too. If you find you need more announce­ments, place your order at Slick's Engraving Company, across from the Tribune.

Wednesday, the 9th, of January, at 8:30 a. m. they'll stop back to check on their grades to make sure they didn't wear that cap an' gown for nothing. Then instructions for the Baccalaureate service will be given and tickets for that service will be alloted.

The combined graduating class of the four high schools will travel down to the Central auditorium at 4 p. m. on Sunday, January the 13th •

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Merry Christmas. The world is in a state of

nominal peace, but there is a promise of real peace

to come. Even though the presents we may give

may not be up to pre-war standards due to recent

conditiona of production, we may have a Merry

Christmas in spirit.

Many of our friends and relatives have already

returned from the armed forces. Conditions in

general are much improved. There is a new era facing- the world.

While people of conquered nations are cold and hungry, the hopes

for the future, with a world at peace and with increasing prosperity

are brighter and stronger than they were laat year at this time.

We also feel certain that next Christmas will be brighter for all of

the people of the world.

So without fear of sounding as though we are shouting down

a well, we wish you a Merry Christmas and a Very Happy New

Year.

GOOD LUCK, GRADUATES

Before the next issue of the Interlude appears, Central will have

bid farewell to another group of graduating seniors. When a class

graduates, there are so many things to be

said that it is difficult to find any particular

phrase to be the most important.

One wish we all have is that the gradu�

ates may achieve success in whatever field

they choose. High school is behind them,

and they are leaving behind them an im­

portant phase of their lives. The teachers

and students have all contributed toward

preparing them for their places in the com­

munity. We can do little more.

From now on, seniors, it's up to you, and we say to you "Good­

bye. And good luck!"

THE INTERLUDE

"Junior is simply out of this

world!" Without a doubt this de­

scribes the newest addition to one of

the biology classes at North Central

High, Spokane, Wash. Junior fright­

ened some of the feminine members

of the class when he first joined it

but now no one bothers to notice his

displeasing manners. You see, Junior

is a skeleton.

Swapped from the Proviso Pageant:

Student (in cafeteria): "What can

I have for dinner today?"

Cook: "Oh, we have thousands of

things to eat."

Student: "What are they?"

Cook: "Beans."

The Seniors of the Stephen Palmer

High School have decided to open a

Soda Bar for the benefit of the Pal­

merton Memorial Park. The Soda

Bar will be open on school days from

7:15 to 10. Here's haping that this

project will be a real succcess!

Please don't blame me for this one:

"One man is knocked down by an automobile every ten minutes in New

York. You'd think it would wear him

out."-The Optimist.

Here's a suggestion from the

"Breeze" to save the fellas' nerves

and the gals' wits:

When the football season rolls

around, the girls should be taught all

the mysterious facts about this ever

popular sport. If one coach could

have an assembly and tell the gals

the whys and wherefores of football,

maybe they would know the differ­

ence between a first down and a furn-

( Cont'd on page 4, col. 4)

"Swimming, swimming in the swim­

ming pool." That's the theme song of

Senior A, Lorraine Kreuger. She was

a member of last year's varsity swim­

ming team, and is president of ·�he

Handy Andy Club. Hailing from

Home Room 224, Lorraine is 5' 4" tall

with laughing blue eyes and medium

brown hair.

This friendly gal likes people, the

color blue, sloppy sweaters, olives, Star Dust, lemon chiffon pie, danc­

ing, sports, and drawing.

Her antipathies include chartreuse,

homework, cauliflower, eggplant, tur­nips, people without a sense of hu­mor, and music by the Mills Brothers.

After graduation she plans to con­

tinue her display work at Sears.

QUESTION: What new course

would you like to see taught at Cen­

tral and why?

Richard Klinger: "Astronomy, be­

cause I like to study stars."

Fred Bennett: "Indiana History,

because we don't get enough of it in

U. S. history."

David Rydzinski: "A course in

pocket billiards." James Gleason: "Latin V and VI."

Valerie King: "I think we should

be taught something about the army

or navy with a fine army or navy

man to teach it."

George Nusshart: "A required

speech course. Everyone needs it."

Howard Kroeger: "None; they

teach too many now."

Lois Jones: "A course in religion

so that we can understand all kinds

of religions."

i �FRONT oma� i MERRY CHRISTMAS

The Christmas season is here

again, and what shall one say that

has not been said a thousand times?

How write a cheerful message which

will not seem out of place?

There will be homes this Christmas

in which there

is reu n i o n f o r

the first time in y e a r s. B r ig h t

lights. Music. H e

came t h r o u gh.

H e ' s h o m e.

T h e r e w i ll b e

others i n which the day will not reach its happiest­

he didn't quite make it.

But in them all the happy, ·�he

hopeful, and the sad, let there be for

a time, no hate, no resentment and

above all, no fear of the future. For

these three, hate, resentment, and

fear embitter and dissipate life.

Christmas time should be a happy

time. Giving and receiving gifts re­

vive our spirits and faith in man. We

must hang fast to our faith and hope.

Perhaps on this Christmas eve if we

pause to listen to the silence of the

night we shall find in the silent night_

the way to peace on earth and good

will to men.

BEARS BREAK THE ICE IN CONFERENCE RACE

TRIM ROCHESTER 52-30

The Central Bears had a much hap­pier time last Friday than they have been having on previous weekends. as they dumped the Adams Eagles 40-32 in a conference tilt. Bob Adams paced the victors by sinking 13 points, but he went out of the game on five personal fouls in the fourth quarter.

The Bruins moved into the lead as soon as the game opened. McCar­thy, Ring, Adams, Perkins, and Temple helped build up the 15-7 lead the Bears had at the end of the first frame. In the second half the Eagles were held to three points, while the Bruins added twelve more to theirs.

The Eagles outscored the down­town boys in the second half 20-15, but the lead the latter salted away in the first half put the game on ice. Bob Nitz was high point man for Adams, sinking seven shots from the charity stripe and one bucket from the court, for a total of nine points.

This victory, coupled with the 52-

30 trouncing handed Rochester on their floor Dec. 11, gives the Bears a better rating than they held last week.

The tourney this year ought to be plenty exciting because the partici­pating teams are all rather strong, except for a couple exceptions. Cen­tral, Riley, Adams, Washington, Mishawaka, Nappanee, Goshen, and Michigan City are the participants. From all pre-tourney predictions, it seems that Riley and Mishawaka will probably be the real threats, while Central, Washington, and Goshen will give their opponents plenty of com­petition.

A fine history has been accom­plished by the Senior As. In the Spring of 1945 they shifted into high gear by selecting Jerry Hess, Bob Minkler, Lois Jones and Betty Lou McCarthy to the class offices.

The Autumn shuffle with Dick Van's blowing the whistle on Novem­ber 3rd, was their first public ap­pearance.

Caps and gowns were accurately measured last Thursday morning for the big day next January. Last Sat­urday night their own Senior Prom was serenaded by Bud Simpson.

THE INTERLUDE

Sgt. Charles Liebert, patient at the U. S. Army's Holloran General Hospital, Staten Island, N. Y., is happy that the war is over and he can look forward to a job. The 24-year-old Pittsburgh parachute trooper dropped from the sky in France only to be put out of combat by a shell from a nearby German tank. The shrapnel sliced into his right arm. Bis wounds have healed but he urges everybody to buy Victory Bonds to help furnish medical attention to the boys who must receive treafjo

ment for months.

IF YOU PLEASE

Just give me a man with a million or two,

Or one that is handsome would happily do,

A dashing young fellow is swell any day

Or one that is famous would suit me okay,

But if the man shortage should get any worse,

Go back to the very first line of this verse.

HOLDING HANDS

Last night I held a beautiful hand, The kind one loves to hold.

I thought I'd die, so thrilled was I My blood ran hot then cold.

I wanted to sing; I wanted to dance; My heart was all a-flutter;

I was too weak, even to speak; And all I did was stutter.

As I sat there in ecstacy With thoughts ever so divine,

It was truly grand, to hold such a hand,

The pleasure of it all was mine.

No other hand, held so tight, Could me more gladness bring

Than the one I held last night-it was Four aces and a king.

-Championette.

WITH GREATEST OF EASE

So your girl's a dancer? Yeah-She's a toe dancer - She

dances all over my mes.-Hi-Time:s.

-Jackson Journal. COME OUT, COME OUT

A salesman making a two week stay in town, bought some limburger cheese to eat in his room. When he got ready to leave, he still had about half the cheese left. He didn't want to pack it, nor did he want to leave it lying in the room. He went over to the windowsill, carefully removed a plant from its pot, buried the cheese and replaced the plant. A few days later, he received a telegram from the hotel: "We give up, where did you put it?"- Central High News;
