Show Charger Chapter By ROCKY EDELMAN Centerville Junior High's daily schedule was changed Tuesday with the coming of a special guest, Jack Lythgoe. Mr. Lythgoe put on a spectacular presentation of the power of hypnotism. Mr. Lythgoe began by explaining the meaning of hypnotism and the years involved in being proficient at his profession. He also advised students stu-dents to never try to hypnotize an other person. To further the knowledge and interest in-terest of the students, several CJH volunteers were chosen to participate partici-pate in a demonstration by being hypnotized. Those who did not have the opportunity to go up to the stage, did get the chance when Mr. Lythgoe hypnotized over a third of the crowd. Mr. Lythgoe's program remains a favorite of the student body and is still being talked about throughout the school. Other upcoming events include the choral and band concerts. The choral concerts were held Dec. 12 and they performed on Temple Square on Dec. 19. The CJH Madrigals performed Saturday, Dec. 10 for a ward party.
