STUDENTS LEARN TO MAKE BREAD >3 J

Two first grade rooms in the Walkerton Elementary School baked bread as a classroom project. They started by tying on their aprons then carefully measured the flour, adding the salt, sugar, yeast and finally adding the warm water. Each child helped stir and then knead the dough with their partners. and the final step was dividing the dough and putting it in the bread pans after another kneading and letting it rise and then having it baked. Each child had a loaf of bread to take home and share with their family. Two room mothers, Margie Gieslowski and Vicky Morris along with Mrs. Jane Chapman and Mrs. Heemer helped the children who were most eager bakers. The classes were reading “The Little Red Hen" and “Pam and Lee Bake Bread" and were inspired to bake bread. The entire morning was needed to get the bread ready for the oven and the children all agreed while it was much easier to

Recipes for the bread were sent home with the children and several children reported that they showed their mothers how to bake bread. GLENN CLINCHES SHARE OF N.S.C. TITLE WITH WIN The John Glenn Falcons guaranteed themselves at least a share of the Northern State Conference title Friday night as they soundly defeated a La Ville team that was still in the thick of the hunt. The 76-43 game was not in doubt after the opening five or six minutes as the Falcons proved just too strong and balanced for the Lancers who were also hurting with two regulars suf-

sering from broken bones in their hands. The win raised the Falcons season record to 15-3 and was their ninth straight win. They finished conference play at 6-1, losing only to Triton who has a 4-1 conference mark and games left with Knox and Culver. The Falcons had defeated LaVille in the Bi-County tourney three weeks earlier by a margin of 18 points. This beating clearly displayed, the dominance Glenn can have over a team when things are going right and Friday night after a slow start, things really went right. The two teams almost appeared to be feeling out each other early as it is known that LaVille teams under coach Larry Radecki like to control the tempo of games and not let the tempo get too fast. On the other hand, the Falcons like to force the action and make things happen. The score was 6-6 with around five minutes gone when Glenn finally got things rolling and in the last three minutes of the first quarter outscored their guests 10-2 to take a good 16-8 lead after one. The second quarter found LaVille controlling the tempo a little more and a very low scoring quarter resulted. Glenn outscored the Lancers 8-7 in this period for a 24-15 halftime lead. The second half was completely different. The Falcons came out will all guns blazing and coach Gordon Mosson used all his weapons. Boys coming off the bench left no weaknesses as they just added to the intensity and good play that the Falcons got rolling. They scored 52 points in the final half with all 10 boys sharing in the point production along with dominating play on the defensive end as well. It was 53-27 after three on the way to the 33 point margin of victory. The balanced Falcon attack was led by Gardner with 14. O’Connor with 12 and Huizenga with 10 as no one scored less than three points for Glenn in this game. Walter paced the Lancers with 12.
