POINCIANA PARK ELEM.

The parents of the children at
tending Poinciana Park exchang-
ed roles with their children re-
Gently. This was easily done, in
that the parents went to school. BY
now you probably have guessed
how this was done.
Yes. our school held its Twilight
School during this month. Since
teachers must keep a record OF
daily attendance of their pupils,
one would think that it would be
forgtten on that night. But you
can be sure that an account was
taken of the parents attendance.
It was quite representative. 1t
made us feel quite pleased.
Those parents who were I'M
able to be there missed night
of fun, fellowship and facts. The
facts helped the parents to better
understand about Johnny" and
what he does each. day.
From 8 until $50, the school
"day" moved along smoothly. The
classroom teacher shared the
school day with the special teach
ers just as they do each day. AT
just the right moment all the
children" went down to the cafe
forum for mountaineering
meal. The menu was prepared
and served by Mrs. Wright and
her staff (teachers and parents OF
course!)
The teaching program for the
year continues to progress as
classes are gathering information
from various sources. The third
grade class of Mrs. Bobbie Harp
er extended their classroom learn
ing with a trip to the Dixie Lily
plant in Hialeah. This trip gave
them a concrete picture of Food
Production" which is a topic of
their Community Helpers unit.
The children were delighted to go
and enjoyed the trip. Their
teacher was pleased as punch with
their alertneSS and manners as
they were shown about the plant.
The third grade classes of Miss
Jessie Phillips and Nathaniel La
Fleur also took a field trip.
Stevens Market was their desti-
nation. The children were taken
on tour of the store. Explana-
tons were made by Stevens en-
ployee assigned to the group. Both
teachers were pleased with the
outcome of their activities.

Fifty-three Booker T. Wash
ingtop students attended the first
forum series at st. John Church
Jan. 20. This is far below the
normal number, and, parents are
urged to send their children to
the forum where they may re-
ceive benefit of the cultural pat
terms set forth. DR.. M. o. Aston
was quite candid in his treatise on
the educational problems facing
citizens of color and what could
be done about them. This year,
interest seems to be tagging, be-
cause a trophy will not be given
to the winning school. A new
policy whereby a 500 scholar
ship will be given to the school
with the highest attendance, has
been instituted. A King of Clubs
committee and the school guild
ance committee will decide what
student of the winning school is
best deserving of the scholarship.

Narrower Field Expected Next Year
In Non-COunty Basketball Tournament

Next years non-county basketball
tournament will probably see several
changes Pirate coach Joe Harris
reported this week.
Harris, who attended the winter
meeting of the non-county coaches
last week in Lima, said the tourna-
ment site will be moved from the
Lima Senior high gym where it was
held this year. Bluffton colleges
Founders hall and the new gymnas-
ium now under construction at
Delphos st. Johns high school were
both mentioned as possibilities by
members of the coaches group.
Major reason for moving the tour
nament is the smaller field which will
be entered in next years non-county
competition. At least one and possibly
as many as three teams will disap-
pear from the non-county scene by
next fall.
Lima Central Catholic has grown
so large it will definitely be entered
in Class AA tournament play next
season. This years champion, Cold

water, is on the AA-A borderline and
school officials are not sure which
class their teams will compete in next
season.
Third school which might not COM
pete will be the hot-shot Lima st.
Gerards club which saw fine sea-
son spoiled in a heartbreaking loss
to Hicksville in the semi-finals of this
years event. st. Gerard's may be
consolidated with Ii i'm Central
Catholic before the opening of school
next fall. Tournament officials are
expecting definite announce
ment of the Gerries' intentions by
April Is.
Only teams definitely slated for the
eliminations next year are Bluffton,
Ada, Delphos jefferson, Hicksville,
Paulding and Wapakoneta st. Joseph.
Tournament officials feel this field
will be too small to meet the costs at
Lima and win be looking for other
sites for their tourney.

stocky New Bremen guard Ed
Conradi broke 34-34 tie with an easy
layup. Opperman followed with a
jump shot from the right corner and
the Cardinals were off and running.
Although the smooth Cardinal star
picked up his fourth personal with
AS remaining in the third period
they pulled away steadily in the last
few minutes and didn't even miss his
deadly scoring punch. Opperman
didn't reenter the game until the last
few minutes when he came in to set
up fancy stall which effectively
shut out the Bearcats.
Wiltshire, whose offense was built
around quick seniors Boyd Hey and
Bud Marbaugh, fell off sadly in the
last quarter as they weren't able to
work the ball in for the bunnies the
two had been sinking earlier in the
evening. Without this punch the Will
shire attack withered and died, piling
up only five points in the last quarter
to Is for the victors.
Junior forward Ron Baur scored Is
points to lead New Brennan attack.
Conrad, who counted six goals in
hectic third quarter squirt had IA and
Opperman IL. Hey and Marbaugh led
Wiltshire with Ia and Is respectively.

team able to get a bigger margin
than two points. Wiltshire led 24-23
on the strength of layup by Bud
Marbaugh with four seconds to go.
New Bremen started cold and was
able to hit only of IA shots from the
field in the first quarter while the
Bearcats, defending regional champs
hit 4 of 10. Jim Opperman, highly
touted Cardinal center made only 1yof
8 in the first period, and had hit only
