Present plans call fo r the e- rection o f a new building at 222 East Main .Street to bouse the dial equipment and new long dis­ tance switchboards. The Wilgus residence, now located at that sitef has been acquired by the telephone company and will be torn down to make way for the projected central office. The new building will have two stories and a basement and will, he constructed o f reinforcement concrete and brick. Architects an- 1 ibbals, Crumley, Mussen of Columbus. “ Construction o f the new build­ ing is only the first step in the long and complicated process of changing over to dial service,” said C- W. Gray, Ohio Bell com­ mercial manager. “ After the building is com­ pleted, it will be necessary for workmen, from the Western Elec­ tric Company, manufacturing and supply unit of the Bell System, to install the local dial equip­ ment and the long distance switch­ boards. Also, the program re­ quires additional outside plant facilities, such as poles, wire and cable, and the rearrangement o f existing outside lines. **Another step will involve the changing of each telephone to a dial instrument in advance of the cutover to dial operation. “ Xenia’s telephone growth has been phenomenal since the war ended less than five years ago. A t that time Xenia had slightly more than 3,000 telephones and now that figure has jumped to more than 5.700 instruments, an Mr. Gray stated that in an av­ erage day the Xenia office handles about 24,000 local calls and 1,800 outgoing* long distance calls. To keep pace with the con- traffic, the Company has been adding large amounts of equip­ ment in the present central of­ fice to provide the necessary service facilities until the change to dial operation.

CedarvileLosesto EatoninFinals A fter a grueling thirty-two minutes o f spectacular basket­ ball the gallant Indians o f Cedai’- ville fell before the Golden Eagles o f Eeaton, The loss closed the season for Cedarville who com­ piled a record o f 23 wins with two setbacks. The season’s rec­ ord was the best in the schools history and was one o f the out­ standing in the state. The game was close through­ out. Neither team could build up -advantage, the largest being 10-4 at the beginning of the first ( u*»rter, Cedarville fought back to a 10 all tie But dropped behind by one point at the quarte r. The second quarter was just as close as the first with Cedar­ ville tallying 11 points to the Eagles 7. A t the half way mark the score stood at 21-18 with Cedarville holding the advantage. Every basket meant a change in the lead. As the time ran out Cedarville got a bad break in as much as there was some ques­ tion on whether Sharp traveled when he fell. The Cedarville players hesitated momentarily which perhaps was the deciding factor o f the game. Sharp lobbed the ball to Bourne under the basket and Bourne layed it through the hoop. Tackett was fouled in the act o f shooting af­ ter he had stolen the ball, tinder terrific pressure Tackett ap­ proached the foul line and as fate would have it, both shots went wrong. The game was his­ tory and the Indians were out o f the running. Again the versitle Vest took scoring honors by gathering 23 points. Neff, also a great center, followed close behind with 20 points. Everyman on the floor de­ serves the highest praise fo r their terrific brand o f basket­ ball played in the final game. It was something to see and long to be remembered. BOX SCORE: Cedarville B.

Thirty-one years ago this week a small band, of doughboys of •World War I founded what is, today the world’s largest veter­ ans’ organization. Dedication to „ the service to God and country, this organization now numbers more than 3,000,000 men and wo­ men veterans o f two world wars, Today the veterans of Amer­ ica are being challenged as never before. The American Legion un­ der the dynamic and courageous leadership of its National Com­ mander, George N. Craig, a World War II veteran, lias re­ solved to do the following: To throw communists out of America; to build and maintain a national defense that will make ny aggressor stop, look and lis­ ten; to build. America strong through an economic development program to support ^ oUr arm forces; To continue and expand our child welfare; educational and youth activities; To defeat the false economy recommendations of the Hoover Commission so far as they would take away the hard won benefits of disabled vet­ erans. Wilbur Wisecup, commander of Wallace C. Anderson Post 544 of Cedarville feels the program as outlined above deserves the sup­ port of not only all Legionnaires but every true American. -Thg veterans of both World Wars are invited to join in the Battle for Democracy. The best evidence of their support would be their membership in this greatest of all veterans organization. (See application blank on page 2.) CHURCH OF THE NAZARENE Rev. Paul A. Hesler, pastor.

But methinks, I would not see a bet­ ter observance of St. Patrick’s Day in old Killarney hqrself. For many of the G. H. S. stu­ dents will be dressed in the tra­ ditional color, in keeping with the famous “wearing of the green.” They will display shamrocks, the National Emblem of Ireland,— -iioi the real ones, but substitu­ tes which will serve the same pur­ pose. Perhaps if we look around us, we will observe one of the boys carrying the Irishman’s shille­ lagh, but let us hope it will not be used for the original purpose! (Mr. Boyer, please do not take 1 note!) Some of our C. H. S. maidens will typify the blue-eyed colleens, even though they are not Irish extraction. Massies’ Creek will he the fam-v ed JJiver Shannon, and if nature remains as prodigal as it has been in the past few days, we will not ’have to sail to Erin’s shore in our quest of beauty.

Our chorus, which is composed of fifty-five girls, received a rating of I, or Superior, by each of the three judges,. ..The., girls, sang - “ In the Boat” and “ Going A Maying.” As a result of this rating, the chorus will participate in the state finals to be held April 29. The band received a II, or Ex­ cellent rating. They played Evan­ geline. Minuet from Berenice, and A Walking Tune. Our basketball team also brought numerous honors to our school this year as they went in­ to the finals in the District. Throughout the history of the present program of basketball competition, (county, district, re­ gional, and state) this is the first year that we have placed in the district. We are very proud, and all of us congratulate them for having played splendid ball throughout the season. Two members of our team re­ ceived honorary positions on the mythical district teams, Abie Vest as forward on the first team, and Mel Tackett as guard on the second team. Each member of the team also received individual a- wards. SPORT VIEWS Indians Lose to Eogles The Cedarville Indians were ousted from further competition last Saturday evening when they bdwed to a strong Eaton team, 45-43. The game was a see-saw battle all the-way with neiher team holding a comfortable lead at any time. The largest lead held by either club was an early six- point advantage held by Eaton in the first quarter. The clubs matched baskets at the beginning of the contest; however, Eaton exploded for a six-point lead, 10-14, after sev­ eral minutes of play. But Cedar­ ville came back strong to cut Eaton’s lead to only one point, 11-10, at the quarter. In the second canto, the Indians outplayed the Golden Eagles most of the way with Jim Stewart re- peatly stealing the ball from op­ position. Jack Irvine sank a bucket as the half ended, and Ce­ darville led, 21-18. The Eagles roared back in the th?rd neriod and took over the .lead at the third-quarter mark, 34-31. In the last stanza, the same fine bi’and of ball witnessed all evening' continued as both teams fought for the right to go to the regional a Springfield. A t the automatic, Cedarville led, 40-39; but in the final minutes Eaton* cashed in on Several breaks to take a two-point lead, which they held till the finish. The game, as far as Cedarville was concerned, was a heartbrek- er. The Indians played good hall all the way; either team could have emerged victorious, but only , one team can win a ball game. ^ Paul Vest outscored, as well as -outplayed, tthe Eagles’ highly" -touted Gene Neff during the con­ test. Each was hig^point man fo r his respective club. Vest drop­ ped in 23 tallies, while Neff scor­ ed 18. SCORE BY QUARTERS Cedarville 10 21 31 43 Eaton l l 18 34 45 This completes the Indians’ season. They have made a fine record of 23 wins and only 2 de­ feats, 22 of those straight vic­ tories, a record of which our school and community may well be proud. Chapel Held Monday Morning Rev, Paxton, pastor o f the Presbyterian Church in Clifton, was the speaker for chapel Mon­ day, March 13. For this subject he used the words of Jesus, “Follow Me.” Christ’s call to his disciples was a challenge to men of strong physique, mentally, and charac­ ter to take up his work. In his discourse Rev. Paxton challenged us to stand up for our convictions even though we differ from those about us; to he honest with ourselves and with others; to think independently, and to be superiors in some way. In regard to the first characteristic he pointed out that many young peo­ ple today have plenty of “ will power, but they need to have more “ won’t” power. C. H. S. Students Participate In Services t Several high school pupils have been contributing to the union services which are being con­ ducted nightly in the opera house.

On “My First Date” (An Imaginary Experience) It was to be my first date, and a blind date at that! “ What a thrill,” I thought as I hurried upstairs to dress. I began with a bathtub of perfumed water; then I rushed to my room, where I had previously laid out my clothes for the evening. There on the bench sat my baby sister, with lipstick smeared from ear to ear, powder and rouge applied “ lav­ ishly” over her face. Perfume filled the air; in fa ct, it almost knocked me over. She had spilled the precious contents of the small vial over herself ami the floor. After chasing her put of the room, I tried to apply some of the “ leftover” makeup. Then I tui'ned to get my dress. But, alaS, my sister must not have liked the shade of blue I had chosen, for she had sprinkled powder all over the dress. I hurried to the closet, and got another dress. Knpwing it was late, I hurriedly combed and brushed my hair. While I was doing this, I smelled perfume again, and no wonder, fo r she had spilled the perfume lavishly on my comb and brush. But I still had more bad luck coming my way. By the time^ I had finished dressing, my girl friend and her date, with my “ blind date,” had arrived, so I Continued On Page Two
