March came in like a lion last
night, with high winds sweeping
the country side in true pre-spring
style. There were scattered show
ers over the Marysville area last
night, with .32 inches recorded by
the local weather bureau.
Marysville has been enveloped
in generally warm temperatures
since Monday, with the high of 660
degrees being recorded at noon on
Monday.
Low temperatures of 24 degrees
occurred Wednesday night. High

at 10:30 Thursday (today) with

Monarchs Have Bad Night
In their game against Lancaster
St. Marys yesterday, the Monarchs
were really having a bad night,
but the Irish, if anything, were
worse. As a result, fans saw little
good basketball in this game.
Nothing Marysville could do was
timing was off, their floor work
was erratic. 9nd to top it off, the
Monarchs missed all kinds of ordin
arily easy shots. Coach Warren
Widner was quite thankful to have
his team leave the floor the winner.
Actually, the Monarchs won the
game by building up a big lead,
then staving off a Lancaster rally.
At one time, Marysville enjoyed a
lead of 24-7, then saw it slowly
shrink as the Irish began perking
up.
The locals were in front 9-4 at
the end of the first quarter and
27-16 at the halfway mark. The
third quarter margin was cut to
34-26 as Lancaster outscored the
Monarchs 12-8, but in the last per
iod each team netted nine points
to make the final tally 43-35.
Cardington Tough Team
Observers are generally agreed
that a game Saturday of the type
they played yesterday will mean
“curtails” for the Monarchs’ title
hopes. Cardington is an excellent
basketball team and has created a
favorable impression in its two ap
pearances to date.
Although they have a record of
18 victories and six defeats dur
ing their season and were only the
runner-up team of Morrow county,
the Cardington eagers have look
ed plenty tough at Westerville.

named Kelley, and with a pair of
fast moving guards, Cardington

Mr. Galloway and two officers

Pupils Expected
To Benefit Greatly
From New Program
H. W. Carr, superintendent of
Marysville schools, said today that
most high school students are not
good readers, and this hamper
them when they go on to collegt
after graduation.
Mr. Carr recalled statement
made recently by Dr. Gerald
Saddlemire, director of counseling
at Wittenberg College in Spring
field, to the effect that lack of good
reading habits can s e i o u sly
hamper the college student. These
difficulties should have been clear
ed- up in grade school, he added.
By way of helping overcome this
difficulty, Marysville schools now
offer a course in reading improve
ment, Mr. Carr said. The course is
taught to seventh grade students
each year and this year only is also
being offered to eighth grade pu
pils for one semester as well.
The main object of the course is
to quicken the reading speed and
this is achieved by an electrical
“reading guide” that moves down
the page of the student’s book,
leaving only one line at a time ex
posed.
At the beginning of the year the
student is tested for reading speed
and the speed of the reading guide
is slowly accelerated so that the
pupil will have to read faster in
order to keep up with the guide.
"In this way, the pupils do learn
to read faster, and better” Mr.
Carr said. “We do know, from ex
tensive testing in our larger uni
versities, that the student who
reads quickly also retains more
material than the slow reader. We
hope to improve reading habits in
our students while they are still at
the age where correction is feas
ible.”
The reading course, one of the
more advanced developments of
the school program, is taught by
Mrs. Warren Widner.
Mr. Carr added, “While it is still
too soon to tabulate any final re
sults of the course, we feel that the
reading habits of the children are
being improved. Each student can
be helped. The child who is pos
sible college material, especially,
should formulate good reading
practices.”
To Attend Mee!
Fourteen speech students from
Marysville high school will attend
the Western Ohio District Tourna
ment of the National Forensic
League at Bowling Green State
University. The group leaves to
morrow morning and returns after
the tournament ends on Saturday.

the students will be housed in
fraternity and sorority houses on
the Bowling Green campus.
Students who will participate

temporaneous speaking Mary
Howard, oratorical speaking Jean
Dutro, original declamation Bob
