A reward for a job well done for Cloverdale Elementary School fif-th-graders is a pizza party with Pizza Hut donating the refreshments as part of "Book It!," a national reading incentive program. In order for the class to win a pizza party, all students must achieve a minimum goal in the five-month program. Being

rewarded for the 100 per cent participation means a slice of pizza (above) as passed out by teacher Pat Stark. At right, Amy Moore (left) and Amanda Gray share a bite and a bit of conversation. The top two readers in Mrs. Stark's and Mrs. Linda Billingsley's classes - Brad Coon, Amanda Gray,-Cara Hutchinson and Jennifer Trotter - will compete in the national portion of the contest.

A VCR and other prizes were to be raffled off during the evening. Meehan exhibit slated at Chicago “Watercolors of Jesse’s Farm,” a collection of 25 works by Bill Meehan, chairman of the art department at DePauw University, will be exhibited at a prestigious Chicago art gallery, Hansen Galleries, Chicago. The exhibit was scheduled to begin Friday, and run for at least two weeks, Meehan said. All of the works are of a rural theme, and many were also on display in Meehan’s recent one-man exhibit at the Art Center gallery on DePauw’s campus. That exhibit featured more than 50 works by Meehan done during his sabbatical from January to August last year.

Banner-Graphic has agreed to publish each of the first-place essays. The first appears today. *** “Super Cleaner,” by Susan Stark, sixth grade. I have just invented an extraordinary piece of machinery that I call the Super Cleaner. This machine has taken a lot of effort to create, but I was determined to take up this challenge. The Super Cleaner would be hard to build, but it would not cost that much money, First of all, you would have to find a well equipped junk yard in order to build this machine. The reason why I picked a junk yard to find the parts for the Super Cleaner is because you would need as many pieces of junk as you could find. NEXT, YOU WOULD need to collect all the parts you received and figure out how they would be used. The utensils I selected included an old broken down car, which is used for the body of the Super Cleaner. I would then need an extra large trash can, which would be used for storing the trash that was picked up by the trash clampers, which are made out of metal bars and metal clampers. I also

retrieved a very large plastic trash can which I chose to use as a storage center for the collected trash. Then I decided that I had to prevent the cause of air pollution. So I put a system in the Super Cleaner that turns the exhaust into clean air. Next, I decided that I would use a vacuum cleaner to wisk up the dust particles and the little pieces of trash that were left behind by the trash clampers. After a long decision on what I would use a kitchen faucet for, I decided that it would be my seed planter so if any destruction was made by picking up the trash, there would be trees and flowers to make the finish look nice. IN ADDITION, THERE would be some problems to work out. Even though you would get most of your parts from a junk yard, you would still need to buy parts to run the Super Cleaner. For instance, you would have to purchase instruments for turning the exhaust into clean air, which will cost a great deal. Finally, the goal that I am trying to achieve by making the Super Cleaner is basically that I want the result to be a very natural and clean look to the area the Super Cleaner has spiffed up.
