UREY SCIENCE FAIR WINNERS Ko jSSBHH ■n la - • |J ^r-wl |K> ■■ -wWi* w J£i^H ■KM^- 'W sRK

The annual science and engineering fair was held at Urey Middle School on Wednesday. March 3. Projects were created by seventh and eighth graders and 88 students participated this year. This was a record number of participants for a single year. The projects ranged from tests of consumer products to tests of the effects of acid rain. Winning third place overall was eighth grader Gail Ferency with a test of various insulators. Second place went to the team of eighth graders Nicole Huff and Cheryl Paschen with a test of surface tension. First place was won by seventh grader Brian Snell with a test of toothpastes' effectiveness. These students will represent Urey at the Northern Indiana Regional Science and Engineering Fair at the University of Notre Dame on Saturday, March 27. Fifty nine out of the 88 participants scored well enought to attend the annual science fair field trip later this spring. The fair was sponsored by Urey science teachers Andy Stegemiller and Lisa Cox. Pictured are, top row: Brian Snell;, left to right: Cheryl Paschen. Nicole Huff and Gail Ferency. Voice Os The People “Basketball Fans” If you had one word to describe John Glenn basketball, what would it be? Would it be good or bad? What I'm trying to say is that 1 think that fans are getting too wrapped up in winning rather than enjoying a competitive, fun athletic event. Winning in high school is not a must. Having fun is. At the sectional game, 1 sat and watched the game in disgust. The disgust was not aimed at the players though. It was aimed at the fans. As I watched, several rude people were yelling things like “shoot the ball", or "why are we missing all those easy shots?" First of all. nobody cared howtough Bremen's defense was. Secondly, almost every fan expected Glenn to win the sectional rather than supporting them to a victory. That puts a lot of pressure on all the players and coaches. Many fans don’t realize what immense pressure can do to a team. Os course overall the team had an off night. I believe many fans were spoiled by the previous game against two rather weak ball teams. Sure we had the potential to win the sectional, but so did every team in the tournament. This team was very close and if you ask any of them if they enjoyed the season, all of them would reply with a "yes". I understand, however, that it is tough to lose to a team like Bremen because of their poor sportsmanship.

But instead of saying that we’ll win next year, just say I hope next year is just as or more exciting than this one. In conclusion, I would like to thank all the players and coaches for a wonderful and exciting season and I wish them well. John Glenn Basketball Fan Pete Hostrawser “Walkerton Chamber of Commerce’’ Why should I belong the Chamber of Commerce? What has it done for me? These are the questions and remarks that I hear daily. An organization is only as active or vigorous as it’s active members. If a person or business has a grumble or idea about The Walkerton Chamber, the best way to control a group is to join and with like minded members take it over. In other words, become active member! Last evening I attended a membership meeting the The Walkerton Area Chamber of Commerce. Sadly to say, there were not very many merchants from the main street represented. Maybe they had not been notified, or maybe they were busy. The present Chamber executive board should also be open to suggestions and new ideas. Sometimes they need to get out of a convenient rut and become “syngerized," as the main speaker, Mr. Barth, of channel 16 so aptly put it. Old ideas or practices are hard to change. That is why an organization has to have new members and new ideas. Maryin and Wyman Hochstetler, of Stuntz Pines, were very gracious hosts. Many of the guests toured the Christmas Shop afterward. 1w as very disappointed. All of the music boxes had been removed so that I couldn’t wind them. The jelly beans were good. Thanks Hoppy and Maryin, for your generosity. If you people haven’t been out to the Christmas Shop, now is a good time to visit. We were served excellent desserts created by Wanda's Restaurant. I even got my carrot cake before President Leo ate it all. There are new travel cups on sale with the Walkerton logo on them. Buy lots and then I can sell them some more! Seriously, an organization is only as strong as its active membership! Join the Walkerton Chamber and make great Walkerton greater!

“JARWARS” RAISES $266.94 ' i -‘B 4 - i MMm 1 MHta r *&*'■'. Ju “Jarwars", sponsored by Urey Middle School’s Student Council netted $266.94 for Riley’s Children's Hospital as part of the Kids Caring and Sharing Project. Jarwars was a competition between the 7th and Bth grade classes to see which could earn the most points. Nickels, dimes, quarters and bills earned positive points while pennies were negative points. After all the baggies and coffee cans of pennies were brought in and the money counted the 7th grade won over the Bth grade 54-36. The proceeds from Jarwars was donated to Riley Children’s Hospital. Each year 8,000 children from all over Indiana are admitted to Riley while another 80,000 outpatient visits are made to the hospital’s 40 special care clinics. Children from Marshall and St. Joseph counties accounted for 1,382 of those visits last years. Kids Caring and Sharing demonstrated that students do understand the value of helping others. Urey's Student Council is proud of the generosity and concern played by Urey’s students Schmidt 335, Vera Binkley 30b. Jessica Cable 294.
