Breaking into the pre-spring lull, the Rainbow Girls threw a solid rat­race last Saturday evening . I say evening bec ause that is just what it was . What do you think of that 8-to-11 time schedule?

George Washington's birthday is this Monday. Let us pay tribut e to him for being the far-sighted man he was in establish­ing this wonderful countr y of ours!

"OF MICE AND MEN" The scene is the Main Hall of Central ·Senior High School. The time is 12 :48, an y noon. The hall is jammed with students who are talking, singing,

or wav ing their arms like sociali st orators . With sudden glances at } he clock, the students utter exclamatory remarks - such as "01( my gosh! I have 30 seconds to get over to X-14." Or, "Take your t ime Bub, the clock on the fourth floor is always 28 seco nds s ]O\\"."

Curtain The point of this one act drama is that loitering and running

around in the ·hall s just before the bell is not nece ssa ry. This is the horrible example, and it ha s invaded Central. It is things lik e these that make teachers get a far-away gleam in their eyes, and mutter about the peace and quiet of an insane asylum. We should co-operat e with the teachers because teachers are hard to get , and we probably can't get new ones afte r the se go, in sa ne.

FOR WOMEN ONLY _-\s long as there have been human beings on the earth­

woman has tried to prove her equality to man. Finally, she has attained that goal!

Schools all over the country are now offering courses in Blue Print Reading, Inspecting, and Machine Tool Operation to the "weake r sex" . Here at Central many of the girls have taken ad­van tage of this opportunity and the Vocational Building is no llon ger a male sanctuary-by any means! In fact , ,the girl s have ju st abo ut taken it over.

There is still a lot of room for any more girls that are inter­este d-so if any of you potential "Rosies" have any spare time, sign up and learn how to "H elp Defeat the Axis". It's not only lot s of fun and interesting, but you are preparing for something, that if you put to use, will be aiding your country.

Miller, trailing in third position a ll the way, overtook a stro ng Washington Q.f East Chicago man on the final sprint to take the second place ribbon. Th e rugged medley relay team (Nelson, Borough, Bra dley ) won over Hammond and Lew Wallace in 1:36.9 , just four sec­onds over the state record.

The ann ual Indian a St ate High School swimming meet will be held in the Purdue . University Pool this Saturday. With the consent of Mr. Pointer , Central will be repres _ented by three conference champions and a ch ampion relay tea m.
