50 Os High School Grads To College

This Tall 50 of the 1963 graduates of Decatur’s two high school will go on to continue their education. Many of them will be going to colleges and universities in Indiana and other states, while the rest will go to nurses training or to specialized business schools. They represent well over onethird or 38 per cent, to be exact, of the combmed total of 127 graduates which the two schools turned out this spring. Thirty-seven of the 50 came from Decatur high’s graduating class of 92. The other 13 are from the 35-member Decatur Catholic graduating class. Percentage wise, 40 per cent of the Decatur high group and 37 per cent of the Decatur Catholic group are going on with their education. Ten Years Ago These figures compare very favorably with the figures of ten years ago. Averaging out the years 1952-53-54, shows Decatur high 36 per cent of its graduating students going on for additional education. For the same three years Decatur Catholic had only 28 per cent of its graduates continuing their education. This indicates a substantial gain for Decatur Catholic in the last ten years. — All the above figures represent only the number of students who began college immediately after graduation. It must be noted that many who begin college do not finish and that others wait until after military service or a year or two of work before they go on to school. Deane Dorwin, head of Decatur high’s student counseling program, estimates that about 50 per cent of the Decatur high students who begin college will finish. Decatur high principal Hugh J. Andrews said, “This year’s graduatingdass was a little better than average. We usually don’t have quite this many going on to school.” Sister M. Alameda C. S. A., principal of Decatur Catholic, was also pleased with both the school's graduating class and the number of seniors in the class who will be taking further educational training. . Choice of Schools The graduates of both high schools usually choose a variety of coleges ,and .other training cenPerennial top choices for Decatur high school graduates are: Indiana University, Bloomington; Purdue University, Lafayette; Ball State Teachers College, Muncie; DePauw University, Greencastle; Tri-State college, Angola; Indiana Central college, Indianapolis; Earlham College, Richmond; Valparaiso University; Indiana Tech, Fort Wayne; General Hospital nursing school, Indianapolis Franklin College/ Franklin; International Business college, Fort Wayne; and Heidelberg College, Tiffin, O. Decatur Catholic graduates have shown perference for Indiana University; Indiana Tech; Purdue; International Business College; Purdue Extension center, Fort Wayne; St. Francis College, Fort Wayne; ■ St. Joseph’s nursing school, Fort Wayne; Marion College, IndianaI polls; St. Joseph's College, Rensselaer; and Holy dross Central nursing school, South Bend. At both schools guidance counseling has played an important role in helping graduates to plan their college careers? Often, students who are college potential but who have not seriously considered attending school after graduation have been successfully “nudged” in the right direction. “There are always some whom we talk into it,” said Sister Alameda. Dorwin said that 12 of the school’s 37 graduates who are continuing their education had not, at first, intended to go on to school. Counseling Program “The aim of our counseling program is to help the student understand himself and his opportunities and to make adjustments to his limitations” said Dorwin. “Understanding this we hope that the students will make a wise choice and follow a course of action in harmony with that choice. In short, we want these kids to work to capacity in high school and college.” ' An important part of the counseling program of both schools is familiarization of students with the offerings of various educational institutions. Each year Decatur high students have opportunity to talk with some 20 to 30 admissions counselors, representing various schools Decatur Catholic students travel to Fort Wayne Central Catholic high school each year for a college day at which representatives, of several institutions are present. Some of them also visit Indiana Tech during that institution's annual open house for high school students. Entrance Requirements College entrance requirements, which have been considerably stiffened in recent years, often pose a major stumbling block to prospective students. Dorwin explained that Decatur high’s present summer school program is designed to enable high school students to add extra credits to their high school record and thus improve I their chances for college admission.

Less than ten per cent of those attending summer school are doing make-up work. The remainder are all taking extra courses to add to their normal high school credits. The “closing college door” said Dorwin, is not‘closing simply because there are more potential students, but rather because the increased number of students desiring admission has enabled colleges to be more selective and to raise their requirements, thus excluding the less qualified students. It is to meet this problem that the summer school was started. Authorize Yost To Begin Construction INDIANAPOLIS — The Indiana state highway commission has authorized Yost Constructiion Co., Inc. of Decatur to proceed with construction of a bridge over Interstate 69 on county road 37A, 1.7 mile northeast of state road 727 in Steuben county and, over Pigeon Creek on Interstate 69, 1.8 mile northeast of state road 727 in Stfubeh county. ■Specifications call for a four span continuous steel beam and reinforced concrete girder, 21 span prestressed concrete I beam to be completed in 310 working days. Contract on the highway improvement was signed by the Indiana state highway commission after it was determined that Yost Construction company, Inc. had submitted the low bid of $539,428.45. Bids on the project were received May 23. The improvement is financed by federal and state funds. The project is part of Interstate 69, a divided, dual-lane, limited access route which will link Indianapolis and Fort Wayne, connecting with the 41,000 mile network of Libraries Express Thanks To Public The thanks and appreciation of the board of trustees of the Decatur, Berne, and Geneva libraries was extended today to those who participated in the questionnaire sent out by the three libraries. As of Friday of last week, 1,157 questionnaires had been returned, and over 100 have been returned since that date. The response was considered quite good. Anyone yet wishing to return his questionnaire is urged to do so immediately. In late 1961, as explained on the questionnaire, the three librai’ies were offered, through state library officials, federal funds to assist in giving library privileges to all the people of Adams county. Until July 1,1962, only those persons in towns and townships which gave tax support to these libraries could enjoy full library privileges. * Since that date, however, by use of library service act funds, the three Adams county libraries have been equally open to all county residents. • ■•*4l The questionnaire was sent out to all county residents in order that the answers received might enable the libraries to provide better service to those who wish it. Central Soya Plans Approved By State INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — The Town of Southport was given 60 days Tuesday in which to prepare a detailed schedule for designing and building a sewage disposal system. The Indiana Stream Pollution Control Board decreed that the project must be in the planning stage within the next two months or the town will face legal action. The board issued an order nearly two years ago for Southport to complete a sewer system by this July 1. But steps toward compliance with the order have been slow and inadequate, the board said. The board approved final plans and spcifications for industrial waste treatment facilities for a new mill for Inland Steel Co., East Chicago; Central Soya Co., Decatur; Canada Dry Bottling Co., Carmel; Franke Plating Works, 'Fort Wayne; National Metal Products Co., 1nc,,,, Connersville, and Eli Lilly & Co., Indianapolis, and for sewage treatrrfeht facilities for Fountain County High School and a relief Sewer system at Sunnyside-Emerson-Ruskin at South Bend. Man Is Arrested On Intoxication Charge ’VKlfred Reese, 63-year-old resi- ' dens of “route ’ l*,"Decatur? was arrested for intoxication Tuesday by the Indiana state police. Reese was arrested at 5:45 p.m. at a service station on N. 13th street, and was held overnight in Adams county jail. No court appearance date has been set as yet.
