GLENN TO MEET PLYMOUTH FIRST IN SECTIONAL The John Glenn Falcons will meet the Plymouth Pilgrims in the Friday 6:30 game in the 1991 Sectional. The two teams drew the bye game and the winner will advance directly into Saturday’s finals at 7:30 p.m. The Plymouth meet will unfold on Wednesday with Argos and Culver Military Academy meeting in the first contest at 6:30 p.m. The second Wednesday game will match the Bremen Lions and the LaVille Lancers with these two Wednesday night winners making the match for Friday's second game. The Falcons of John Glenn have not lost to a team in the Plymouth Sectional and hold two wins over both LaVille and Bremen, the second of which were decisive victories. Earlier this month they defeated Plymouth on the Pilgrims floor by five points. Plymouth is a rapidly improving team, but still are not near the Plymouth teams of years past. They did post an impressive victory over Tippecanoe Valley Saturday night handing Glenn's opponent of this Friday only their third loss of the season. Glenn plays Argos in a make-up game on Wednesday of this week and do not play the Cadets of Culver Military in the regular season. Jumping around a little bit, Ore-gon-Davis, a team struggling to return to the winning side again, meets the host North Judson Bluejays in the opening game of the North Judson Sectional Tuesday night at 6:30 p.m. C.S.T. At South Bend, the Riley Wildcats, one of the better teams in the state, swing into action Wednesday night but would have to possibly play Gay on Friday if the Colonials can get past Washington. These are the apparent stronger of the other teams in the field with the top bracket pairing Adams and Mishawaka and St. Joe and Marian. Riley play LaSalle in the opener. At Warsaw, the winner of which will play the Plymouth winner in the opening game of the Elkhart Regional, the host Tigers, a state ranked team, meets Rochester in Friday's first game while Tippecanoe Valley awaits the Wednesday winner of Wawasee and Triton in Friday’s second contest. This could be a very interesting sectional. At Elkhart, Concord meets Jimtown first, with the Elkhart teams, Memorial and Central playing in the second game on Tuesday. This will set up a very interesting first game on Friday night. In the lower bracket, Penn, the best of the rest, plays Northridge in Wednesday’s second game and Goshen and North Wood meet in the first Wednesday game. At Michigan City, LaPorte meets Rogers in the first Wednesday game while Michigan City Elston doesn’t swing into action until Friday against Marquette. This should be a very good final game to cap off this tourney. Ray begins on Monday at both South Bend and Fort Wayne. Some meets don’t start until Friday night, but unless Mother Nature causes some problems, by Saturday, March 2, around 10:00 p.m., the 64 teams should be set to con-

Students at North Liberty Elementary School have been building up pride and support for their fathers, aunts and uncles in Operation Desert Storm. Grades 1-6 teacher, Mrs. Chris Houston's Gass organized, constructed, and sent valentines to a local reserve unit that just left for training in Kentucky and then on to Saudi Arabia. They asked other classes to contribute homemade valentines. Those classes were: Mr. Hunt, Mrs. Bell, Mrs. Camblin and Mr. Binkley. Fifth grade student, Lezley Ennis and her mother crocheted heart covers for lollypops to send. Mrs. Kay Anderson and Mrs. Bev Lung also helped initiate this project. The Lieutenant who received the vanentines was very appreciative and said she’d see to it that each valentine "found a home with a soldier.” Mrs. Houston's Sth and 6th grade class also has put together a hallway bulletin board titled Desert

"MUSIC IN OUR SCHOOLS” MONTH

The Music Educator's National Conference (MENC) has declared March as Music In Our Schools Month. In celebration of this event, North Liberty Elementary School broadcasts a little bit of music each morning over the pbulic address system just after the tardy bell, before the day's work begins. Instigated by the school's music teacher, Mrs. Cathy VanDuyne, each selection is usually proceeded with a short monologue describing what type of music is being played that day. Whether a holiday song, a classical piece, a polka, an instrumental piece or a ballad, a bit of history or explanation of origin is usually given before enjoying the music. The MENC focuses its attention to March 7th, 1991 as it will sponsor the World’s Largest Concert for the fourth year. Students and their sponsors all across the nation will simultaneously perform a preset program of music beginning at 1:30 that afternoon. Under the direction of singer/musician Marilyn McCoo, our local elementtinue their fight to be crowned the 1991 Champion of Indiana basketball.

Storm. The pictures are all authenic. Aides Mrs. Kay Anderson, Mrs. Jan Allsop, and Mrs. Bev Lung helped with this project. Mrs. Lung's husband is one of the members of the reserve troop that was shipped out to Saudi Arabia and he provided us with his reserve magazines to use for pictures. Fifth graders David Lawton and Wes Roush have hung a star from the ceiling of each person confirmed to be in active duty. Mrs. Lung has helped with verification. The Sth and 6th graders, David Lawton, Wes Roush, Adam Stonestreet, Ryan Puckett, Jenny Gine, and Ted Gark have also put together a scrap book of the Persian Gulf War. Houston’s first through fourth graders, after a brain-storm session of the Gulf War, helped make a map of the areas we are fighting in. They colored the Allied territory for quick visual reference. This was great for their reference skills.

ary school will combine selected Sth and 6th grade singers to participate, locally, as we follow one common director being broadcast by a local cable network from Washington, D.C. Millions of students participate in this program each year. With the recent attention focused in on the war action in the Middle East. North Liberty Elementary School is using the same morning broadcast idea to play a variety of Patriotic songs to show support and concern for our men and women serving in the Gulf. Some teachers copy the words of the songs for the students so they may sing along, if they so choose, with songs such as "God Bless The USA," "This Land Is Your Land.” "You're A Grand Old Flag," and others.
