According to a police report, the fire truck was responding on an emergency run and was northbound on U.S. 231 at Beagle Club Rd. with red light, siren and air horn in use. Hemsley was eastbound on Beagle Club Rd. at the same time, reportedly crossing the two southbound lanes and one northbound lane before coming in collision with the fire truck. No injuries were reported. However, damage to the fire truck was listed at SSOO while damage to the Mustang was listed at $5,000.

76. A “D” is 75-70. Anything below 70 is failing. Mrs. Hawkins explained that students who don’t make the grade at White Suition are shipped back to the high school in their home district or placed in a traditional school. BUT THAT DOESN’T happen very often, she said. “We have about 1,000 students in the optional program and only 12 or so won’t make it,” she said. A freshman at White Station will take honors English, honors geometry or honors algebra I, honors physical science, a foreign language, health or physical education and one elective. A senior at the school could be Liking advanced placement courses in English, calculus, a science and American history, along with a fourth-year foreign language course and some electives. IF THE SENIOR IS NOT in an A.P. course, he will likely be in an honors course. The school offers advanced placement courses in English, calculus, biology, chemistry, physics, American history, music theory, computer programming, French, German, Spanish and Latin. A.P. courses are highly advanced classes that culminate in students taking advanced placement exams in those subjects. In effect, a high school student can earn college credit during his high school career by passing the A.P. tests. AND THESE COURSES are taught by a highly trained faculty that features 29 teachers with masters degrees, 19 others who have graduate hours beyond the masters, and two who have doctorates. And these highly trained teachers don’t cost the Memphis City Schools any more money. “There arc teachers who would kill to teach at White Station,” Mrs. Hawkins said. She added that the school’s faculty are on the same salary

ing the service, it will save the subscriber money in the end. According to Chief Dispatcher Dave Costin, the surcharge will collect an estimated $170,000$210,000 by the time the system is in place in the spring of 1992. The surcharge will allow the county to substantially pay off part of the $399,500. But the Central Dispatch Board of Directors is working on a tight budget to provide the best emergency service possible in a small sized county. THAT, ACCORDING to one board member is frustrating. Thursday night during a Dispatch Board meeting, members were being told that a county ad-

schedule as other MCS teachers. And if all of this sounds like it puts a lot of

pressure on the students, it does, Mrs. Hawkins admits. But not like the pressure commonly associated with Japanese schools. “THERE IS A LITTLE BIT of pressure,” she said. “Our students talk more about academic pressure. But a lot of it is self-im-posed.” She said students want to attend White Station as much as parents want their children to attend, so pressure is a factor, but not a problem in the school. And there is a payoff for completing the White Station curriculum. School statistics show that the average SAT scores from the 1989-90 school year were 589 on the verbal and 627 on math. And 246 White Station graduates received scholarships in 1990, valued at more than $4.3 million. It averages out to $17,654.50 per scholarship recipient. And where are these students going? OF COURSE, THEY ARE in schools like M.1.T., Harvard and Yale. But they are also attending Indiana Univeristy, Wabash College and Valparaiso University. In short, they are going almost anywhere they want to go. But the Memphis City Schools are not only taking care of the intellectually gifted, Mrs. Hawkins said. There are magnet schools for a variety of talents, including the performing arts, science and engineering, and vocational skills. But the school system tries to serve the broad spectrum of students, including magnet schools for fundamentals, where students who need remediation or a slower learning pace can attend. White Station High School is a step in education evolution that is not being considered in Indiana. And while legislators argue over how much money to spend on education, the faculty and staff at White Station High School are improving education where it counts in the classroom.

‘Afghan Folio’ at DePauw “Afghan Folio,” an exhibition of landscape photographs by Luke Powell, will be on display in DePauw University’s Emison Art Center from March 6 to 22. THE EXHIBIT WILL open with a slide lecture by Powell titled “Afghanistan: Haven of Peace and Tranquility” on Wednesday, March 6 at 4 p.m. in East College, room 107. An opening reception is planned in the gallery immediately following the lecture. Powell, who graduated from Yale University with a master’s degree in religion in 1972, devoted nearly a decade to developing the “Afghan Folio” exhibition. The collection includes 30 landscape photographs from Afghanistan and two from Iran. Powell began working on the proejet in the early 1970 s and, since its completion, it has been displayed in a number of diverse political sites. POWELL IS ONE of the few photographers today who uses the dye-transfer process in developing photographs. This painstaking method allows the developer maximum control over hues, intensity, contrast, shadow and exposure. A single print may require up to 20 different intemegatives and masks with the dye-transfer process, and Powell can generally produce no more than 12 images in a month of 60-hour workweeks.

dressing system will cost more than they were allowing for in their budget. That system would give exact road addresses to people and businesses who currently have rural route numbers. The new addresses would allow emergency personnel to pinpoint the location of a call for help rather than being based on a route number. This system would also drastically help the U.S. Post Office. Costin said the new addressing would also cut down on response time to emergencies. Cost estimates received Thursday night, could put that project at about $20,000. THE BOARD ALSO heard a report from Costin Thursday night

countries since 1647. It swept the country again in 1889-90. The advice given then would be good for today: Go home and go to bed. COUGHING AND sneezing were credited for the spread of the flu germ. Some sources called the disease as dangerous as gas shells. Poison gas was reported to be in use during World War I. Gas masks were standard gear for soldiers at the front. I recall during this period that our family saved hickorynut shells since in some way or other they were processed to be used in making these masks. While the actual flu would run its course in three or four days, there

ATTENTION TCI CABLE SUBSCRIBERS We are approaching a sun outage period during which degradation or the loss of some of our satellite services will occur. This takes place when the orbital positions are such that the satellite and the sun are in one line. We then receive signals from both, but the more powerful sun subdues the desired signal, causing an outage. The outages occur twice a year. The estimated time of these outages will be around 3:23 p.m. to 3:34 p.m. on March 2nd and will continue through March 9, 1991. These outages will last anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes.

that preliminary phone subscriber estimates were down from those first projected. That means, the county may only be able to pay off $170,000 from collected surcharges rather than the hoped for $210,000 by the time the system is operating. Costin and Michael Kern, the GTE 911 account executive working on the project, will be looking at where the loss of subscribers occurred and if that loss will result in an increase of the monthly surcharge amount. Costin also explained that the board anticipated the costs of remodeling the courthouse, radio and other computer equipment, but not with as high of prices as what the real price tags are coming in now.

were dangers to follow, such as pneumonia. THE TEACHER AT that little country school at the “T” in the road became a flu victim before the edict closing public places. She toughed it out for a day or two with a splitting headache and other miseries, but still took time to help me with some sort of book problems. While none in our immediate household took the flu, many others in the community were not so fortunate. Doctors were working almost night and day to make house calls. Some of them hired drivers so they could have a brief rest as they went from house to house.

“EVERY TIME WE turn around we need something that costs money,” board member Michael Harmless said Thursday night. “We are getting very frustrated,” the Greencastle mayor added. But Coslin assured the board that many other counties the same size as Putnam County arc experiencing the same frustrations because it is a new system and working with relatively low population.. But while the board deals with frustration of the intricate details of setting up the 911 system, Costin said that in the end it will be worth it. “We just have to keep hammering out the system because it will save lives.”
