School Days will soon be lr i. again.

Things have changed ii th" edm atiun line over the wars ane recently great steps have been taken in Indiana to < inngt the school system strictly for the ben ‘fit of the students More modern techniques ami equipment along with more advanced tex books And A belt - r ed ication on the part of <wo teachers make education a much more complete pror^ss than it was in years past. Education now is important. Not too many yea s ago it was the high school graduate that gut a good break on getting jobs.

It isn't always a lack of ability th.it keeps a young man or woman out of colleges, but the lack of trying' to reach a high standard in high school that proves to bi' a drawback One problem seriou Ay considered by many groups right through to the Federal Government is the case of the high school dropouts This has mounted by hap< and bounds in the past f *w years when everything points to an easier task of one finishing school A high school dropout has two strikes against him in facing life before he even starts. As the school doors open this fall, it would be such a I *nefit if each student realized the importance of their education and when entering- those doors, makes a promise to themselves to give it ail they have in striving to complete their high school days in good standing. This doesn't mean to take away from the many extra curricular activities that are so enjoyable and definitely a part of schoo’ now days, but only to realize that the main reason they are there is to get their education first with the other activities coming second.

Voice of the People For the last few years the Koontz Lake Little League tennis have won the trophy They won it this year too In reference to the play-off game held August 11, it's too bad some of the Walkerton parents couldn't act like grown-ups No remarks wep‘ started on the Koontz luike side A few mothers from Walkerton couldn't refrain from calling our boys names and when it camo time to congratulate our Koontz Lake team, they were called crumbs and the language so foul th-re is nothing more to say but, "What Poor Losers." I wonder what the 'little fellas" think when all year their coaches try to teach them sportsmanship and then they hear and see grown ups (their parents) ad smaller titan they are. A Koontz Lake Mother Red Sox Still Alive In Tourney The Walkerton lied Sox stayed alive in the McKinley Invitational Tourney in Mishawaka Hft--r losing their opening game last Friday to the host McKinley Mi rchants 2-1 Monday they topped Benni its of lui Port * 9 1 and Tuesday won over the Diloretto Club 6 o Tla-y continue play Wednesday night against Lucky Cig ir of KiPorte as the heavy play of the losers bracket of the double elimination will keep them busy until they lose or rea. h the । finals.

Paul was the starting pitcher but was kn<>< Red out with a fixe run rally in the last of the third. Jen y Rains started the drive with a tripie to the left renter field Fox then reached first on a bunt as they held Rain- at third. A ground ball to short caught Rains at the plate but Fox and Don Ludwig advanc d to second and third.

Jim Ridenour then mashed a long ttiple to the fence in right < mter field Tony Catanzarite replaced Paul at the point am! Ridenour scored on a wild pitch while B<»b I’rbin xv is walking Jack Tiede singled but Catanzarite then retired the side. The final run scored In the fifth inning as Howard singled owr third and Rid«-nour aerificed tut the ball was thrown wildly to first putting runner* on second and third. Howard scored on a ground out to end the scoring. Fox gave up a lead off single in the second inning ayd that was all th • hits Diloreto had for the night. Mon<lay night the Red Sox won their fust game in the tourney bringing their record to an even 1-1 fur the double elimination meet when they solidiy trounced Bennetts of I^aPorte. Sonny Cripe was the big gun offensively as he had a single, double and bases loaded triple in three at bats. In the second inning, Ja<k Tiede started the ball roi’ing with a hit John South followed with a single and on Jerry Rains high hoppet the first baseman couldn't decide where to throw the tall and al! hands were >.af» After one out Dolph DeVolder singled In one run and thin Cripe unloaded hr triple scoring three. He scored after two outs when the pitcher dropped a pop up in the middle From this 5-0 had the Red Sox increased it to 9-0 before Bennetts scored their lone run in th-* last of the fifth inning. DeVolder pitched a sound hall game allowing only one hit in the game John Rucker was the star ter and loser for Bennett-, with McDermott fmi hing the game. The Waikerton Red Sox lost their first tourney game 2-1 to the Mi Kinley Merchants who the Red Sox chased to a first place I firn h in the A league this year.
