PIQUA DAILY CALL Saturday, February 3, 1973 3 Take Them Off The war is over, the POW's and MIA's will soon be home and the bracelets will be coming off dozens of students here at Central. They will be thankfully removing the POW bracelets they've been wearing for weeks, months, and even years to protest the treatment of U.S. prisoners of war. These students have paid a certain sum of money to VIVA in California. The proceeds from this go to provide literature etc.
Even though the students don't know the men whose names are on the bracelets, they hope that each one arrives safely home. Wilder Jr. High News Reporters: Norman Harrison, Michele Hepler. Advisor: Larry Fickenwirth. TALENT SHOW: A tatooed lady? Singing teachers? Impersonations of a trumpet and Hawaiian guitar by a special guest? Mr.
Honeycutt as a comedian? Tuesday's PTA program will be quite different from the usual. The curtain goes up on the first annual Adult Talent Show at 7:30 p.m. Students and parents alike are invited to attend. A variety of acts are planned for your entertainment. Wilder teachers Mr.
Devers, Mr. Roeth, and Mr. Reitz will sing "Oomph-Pah-Pah" from "Oliver," with choreography by Mrs. Elliott. Mrs.
Price, gym teacher, will act out a skit to "Sixteen Tons." Mr. Thomas will sing a solo. In between acts Mr. Honeycutt will tell some very interesting stories about teachers As for the tatooed lady, well, you'll just have to be there when the curtain goes up to find out about that one. Don't miss out on this once a year experience-plan now to attend! TIM WILLIAMS 'Nother Indian Tim Willians, at 5'4" and 130 lbs.
Ls the smallest member of the Piqua varsity basketball team, but don't be misled. shooting and uncanny ability to hit the open man more than compensate for his lack of height. Tim is one of the talented sophom*ores on this year's ball club, and although he lacks experience, he has stood up quite well under pressure, due to his confidence and true ability. He started out at the beginning of the season with the JV's and has since worked himself to a spot on the varsity. He does not always get the.
starting nod, but he usually finds himself in the middle of things pretty early in the ballgame. Although he has played basektball for some years, he admitted the high point carne during the Celina ballgame. (Those of you who attended the game will remember the fine poise and the great ballhandling shown by this sophom*ore, as well as his hustling defense.) 'The supreme test of this talented soph will come during the district tournaments in Troy, which he naturally looks forward to. Tim's interests are not confined to basketball, however, as he plans to go out for baseball in the spring. He hopes to play either catcher or short-stop.
He la taking a variety of subjects here at the high school, including biology, mechanical drawing, and history. Tim's first year at Central is proving to be a good one. Surely the next ones will prove to be even more productive. Piquonian Foremat Changed This year the Piquonian will be following a different procedure. Instead of being issued at the end of the year, it will be issued in August.
This way, the senlors will be able to record memories of the prom, graduation, musical, and the all-night party. The size of the yearbook will be basically the same, though. On previous years the Piquonian was sent to the presses In March in order to be available in June. However, the staff will collect all the money before school is out to avoid confusion. This means that the staff members will have to work long hours and possibly carry on Into summer.
They will also have to work again when the yearbook is distributed, but they feel it is worth it. The staff is hoping to arrange a get- together for the seniors when they come to collect, being a great opportunity to see each other before leaving for college or other places, Students are urged to read the newspaper and listen to WPTW for information regarding this. By ANN DAS "When you're a new teacher, and young and short, you've got to rule with a heavy hand or they'll really get the best of you," but nobody bere at Central would dare violate one of Miss Barbara Sterling's library rules. Students are finding Mrs, Reed's rules REALLY being enforced with the advent of the new librarian. Previously, the Ilbrary was often used as a lounge or tu1 escape from studyhall.
Miss Sterling is determined that the library be used only for research primarily, und for homework. Because Miss Sterling Is running our library on a colleglate level, It Is my opinion that Central should also follow the example set by colleges and provide its students with a lounge. Of course, with a place in which students could relax and talk with their friends, there would be no possible justification for any conversation in the library, At the present, library passes are elther permanently revoked or cancelled for the duration of a few weeks to punish students who do try to talk in the library. This insans there is a group of the student body who must come either before or after school or at noon to 1188 the school's library facilities, Students may also be kept from free use of the library by any studyhall teacher who's in a bad mood or who wishes to punish a few studenta by eliminating the entire group's privileges. Whether the purpose of the library Is to provide the students with a place to relax or to be a quiet area where students can do homework and research, the lIbrary should be used to its fullest capacity.
Both this year and last, funds equalling six dollars have been provided for each student to be used only for the library facilities and equipment. If this much is given for each of the 1,106 students altending Central, each student should have the opportunity to utilize his six dollars worth plus the $6,630 made available this year by the rest of the students. Remember, these funds are for library use only. The library has a top capacity of 90 SMOKE 8 High School Edition Of The Daily Call Arranged By Students Editorial On The Mat Bob Christy is a junior wrestler who competes in the 112 lb. weight division.
His main competition on the team is Rodney Gover. Bob's record last year was 1-13. So far this year Bob hag a fourth place finish at the Northridge Invitational. He feels that the toughest team in the Miami Valley I is Troy and his toughest competition is Taylor Young of Sidney. Bob feels this year's team strength lies in the secand and third year wrestlers.
He also feels that the junior high wrestling program should give Central a stronger team in the years to come. Bob would like to see more publicity given to wrestling as it is a major sport in his opinion. He thinks that this should be done by better newspaper coverage. Also, he would like to see more student backing at the meets. Bob would also like to see more out for the sport who would stick it out for the season.
Though Bob is only a junior he would like to attend Ohio State University. He would like to be a veterinarian. We would like to wish Bob the best of luck for the rest of the season. Science Fair The 1973 Piqua City School's Science Fair will be Saturday, Feb. 10 at the Piqua East Mall.
The fair will last from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. with presentation of awards at 2:30 p.m. students. 'This means that only 8.1 per cent of the student population can use the library at the same time.
It also means that, considering there are approximately 250 students in the cafeteria and 306 In studyhalls each period, at the most, only 36 per cent of the students in studyhalls can visit the library. The library is rarely permitted to fill to capacity (90). This year's seniors have the dubious honor of receiving passes for having 3.0 averages. While senlors have the 3 pt. pink passes, they cannot use the regular, three tunes a week, red pass.
The pink pass enables the senior with a 3 pt. average to attend the library as many tires as he wishes, but if the librarian decides too many people are there, those carrying pink passes return to studyhall. 'They can't unuse changed for the red pass to stay. Most seniors who have a 3 pt. pass are carrying enough classes so that they rarely have the occasion to work In the library.
They shouldn't be penalized by losing library privileges for achieving good grades. 8 INTRAMURAL BASKETBALL: Saturday mornings are now a busy time at Wilder. Under the direction of Mr. Borts, the school has set up an intramural basketball league. This league will go on for eight weeks in a round robin tournament.
At the conclusion the team with the best record will receive award patches for its players. Referees will be eighth and ninth grade basketball players, high school students, Mr. Borts, Mr. Honeycutt, and teachers. After eight weeks there will be an All-Star game where the league will be divided into two teams.
All-Stars will be selected by players in the league and officials. The winners most likely will play the faculty. Watch out, faculty! EXCHANGE STUDENT: Wilder has a new exchange student.

Next Week in Basketball As many sports fans will recall last year at this time, Piqua and Sidney were fighting it out for top honors in the M.V.L. Sidney came to town with an undefeated M.V.L. record while Piqua had one loss, that being to the Yellowjackets. This year seems to be the complete turnaround for both teams.
Sidney is currently last In the M.V.1. standings while Piqua is in 4th. Sidney's team this year is led by the high scoring of senior guard Dan Swiger. Swiger controls the offense while being able to direct the man-toman defense. Sidney is in the rebuilding stage of the game.
The Yellowjackets lost many key players due to graduation, one being 6'8" center Jeff Colller. Sidney is mired in the cellar of the M.V.L., out of the race along with Piqua. The Indians' shooting has slumped off lately, more noticeably in the way of forward Tom Hudson. Bernard Newman has been able to remain at his constant level, but Piqua needs more output from outside help. Pedro's Piqua Central received a new exchange student for the second semester.
Pedro (Peter) Nicodemos arrived in Detroit, January 13, where after spending a night there, he reported to Mrs. Fess in Piqua. Peter Ls staying at the Lawrence Will's home at 1212 Drexel. He is one of the 1,600 Brazilian students attending American schools now. In Brazil the school system is arranged in three levels: primary schools, which corresponds to our junior high school, gymnasium, and after completing this level, they take an exarn to go on to the University.
Peter plans to attend college and obtain his Doctorate in medicine. You can also attend school one of the three times a day: in the morning, at noon, or at night. The morning and noon classes are usually for the younger pupils, while the working men attend the night classes. At Central, Peter is taking History 3, government, practical English, individualized reading, composition, and typing. He reports that his biggest problem is coping with the English language and has only one complaint-it's too cold! In Brazil the average temperature is 33 degrees centigrade or around 91 degrees.
His school sports include basketball, volleyball, and soccer and handball in which he participates. Comparing America to Brazil, Peter says that the people are much more liberal in Brazil and things like the smoking, drinking and driving age are left up to the father. Their traffic system is different; two years ago they changed from yellow and green traffic lights to red and green, and he also says that there aren't as many super highways in Brazil. The Brazilian teenagers like to wear jeans and enjoy the same music as our teenagers do. Peter, as are all of the exchange students, is involved in the Youth for Understanding Organization (U.F.O.).
