John Lawton, Pattor Everyone around school was saying- Thursday, "What kind of a basket team does Helmsburg Th is is the team Edinburg drew in the sectional. The Maroons will meet them in the second game next Thursday night.

Miss Wright's room has been doing much creative writing since the new semester began. The children choose their own subjects and develop them them -with the teacher assisting them with the spelling. This is one of the many good uses for manuscript writing. They are also doing beginning cursive writing in their regular writing periods. It seems some of the grades in grade school are in for a treat when Mrs.

Roberts' first graders finish making their puppet show. The puppets are being made from cardboard of different colors. All of the animals are made of squares and circles. They are held by a stick handle. A story from their reading book, "What Sally Saw" has been adapted to go along with the puppet show.

In this story a little girl goes to a zoo and sees many animals. Each child has written stories about all of the animals. There is a puppet for everyone and each student portraits his puppet in the show. After perfecting their show, pictures will be taken of it. Then they will be entered, along with some of the best stories, in a contest which is sponsored by the Annual Primary Activities magazine.

Pictures of their Christmas tree were also taken but they arrived too late to be printed in the Christmas issue of this magazine. Mrs. TitsworthV class had a very good time at their party. Some of the girls in the class brought refreshments. Among these were decorated cupcakes by Janice Warring and Sharon Nearhouse; Pat Wood-rum brought some candy.

Linda Williams, Linda Pauch, and Patty Lam- phire got together and made heart shaped cookies and printed each student's name on a cookie. Joyce Breeding and Deadra Beard baked a cake and decorated it. Looks like there are quite a few cooks in tihs class. Mrs. Wood's room enjoyed a Valentine party Monday afternoon.

An old fashioned Valentine box in red paper and white ribbon was the center of attraction. Refreshments followed consisting of cokes, cookies, and home-made candy. Responsible for arrangements were Eileen Bilby, Eloise Snyder, Belva Woods, Jeurita Stintson, and Hazel Burton. 1 With the sectional coming up, peo ple are picking who they think will win each game and how many points. The advanced math class decided to make a project out of pick- ing winners and by what margins.

Their contest, which is open to any student, is being called "Sectional Tournev Pick-N-Win." Here are the rules: 1. Only one entry per person 2. Only official entry blanks are to be used. 3 Judging to be based on noint deviation. 4.

Be sure to pick tho winning teams of each game and margin. 5. Contest closes at 3:30 P.M. Wednesday, February 23. Edinburg students will again go to the State Solo-Ensemble contest.

It is to be hold this Saturday at Butler University in Indianapolis. In order to enter this contest you must have been in at least class and been given a first rating in the previous contest. Entered from Edinburg are: Norma Stants clarinet solo, and the clarinet quartette composed of Norma Stants, Janie Merrick, James Harlow, and John Yastes. The freshman clas and guests enjoyed a skating party Monday night at the Columbus rink. Tho Teen Canteen is planning a skating party hut no date has been set as 3'et, so if you don't have a membership card get it soon soon so you will be eligible to go.

All of the school projects at the Charlottsville game went over well. TAIPEI, Formosa (UP) Nationalist planes and warships sank seven Communist landing craft carrying 2,000 troops and damaged four other Red vessels in an air sea battle raging 120 miles north of Formosa today. Col. Lu Ta, Nationalist military spokesman, said the Nationalists inflicted the heavy damage during the first two hours of an engagement which was still continuing. Reliable sources said two Nationalist destroyers were involved in the attack.

Presence of Communist landing craft in the area led to immediate speculation the Communists might be preparing an attack on Nanchi, northernmost Nationalist island outpost. Reds In Confusion Lu reported the sunk landing craft was set on fire and three gunboats were damaged, he said The spokesman said the Nationalists intercepted a fleet of 14 Communist gunboats and landing craft carrying the reinforcements from Peikuanshan Islands to the Taishan Islands. The Taishans are 30 miles south of Nanchi and 63 miles north of Matsu Island: The intercepting Nationalists force opened fire and quickly threw the Communist fleet into confusion, it was claimed. The Communists broke off contact after two hours of fighting but were overtaken by the Nationalist warships, Lu said-Prelude To Assault The Ministry of National Defense said the situation was still "confused" early today. The ministry said a communique.

would be issued tonight when further information is received. Communist attempts to reinforce the Taishan Islands raised immediate speculation that Nanchi might be the Reds' next objective. The Communists at Taishan are in a po sition to isolate Nanchi from its mai nsupply point to the south at Matsu. The presence of Communist land ing craft in the area heightened fears in Formosa the Peiping government was about ready to launch its long-heralded attack on the offshore islands. The Reds bombarded Quemoy Thursday in another prelude to assault.

The juniors cam3 out very well with their concessions at the ballgames this year and would like to thank everyone for helping them out. By the look of all the cakes going out of the gym (if they were lucky enough to get that far) the Junior cake walk was another success of the evening.
