Extended Core in third year The Extended Care Kindergarten program is in its third year of fxistance within the Wa-nee Community School system. Enrollment has increased each year of the program. This year a second class was needed to facilitate students in the afternoon. The Extended Care Kindergarten program is available for parents who wish to have child care for a full school day beyond the regular onehalf day kindergarten. The children ride the bus to and from school and eat lunch in the cafeteria. The program does not consist of any instructional teaching but refinforces social skills such as manners, self-esteem, personal hygiene, sharing, etc. The children experience art, music, poetry and lots of play time. Wa-Nee has also incorporated a Latchkey Program for children in grades kindergarten through sixthgrade. It provides students with breakfast and snacks. These programs are selfsupporting with the help of the community, churches, businesses and organizations who have helped make it possible for the program to service 140 children involved. Fairmont Homes and its employees contributed funds to help equip the third Extended Care Kindergarden program as well as a new Latchkey program. They have furnished toys, games, books, arts and craft supplies for the year. Program Director Beth Myers said, “We are very grateful for all they contributed to our programs. When communities and schools work together for the good of children-that’s when EVERYONE benefits!” She adds, “We feel fortunate to have such a supportive, caring community. I hope each perton that has contributed realizes what they have done to strengthen our programs.”

Hunsberger recoils Cable School
The following information has been provided by Niles Hunsberger, Columbus, a former Cable School student. Every yeai as September rolls around, my mind wonders along a dusty road as a five-year-old,not six until October, makes his way to the country school house a halfmile from his home. The puffs of dust jump up between his toes as he approaches his first day of school. Along the way, he stops to sample the red fruit of a wild crabapple tree. Nothing is so sweet and so tart at the same time. The sound of a bell tolls his approaching tardiness for the first day of class.. As he reluctantly climbs the five steps to the front door, he encounters the rather severe Miss Schwick, in the process of tying the bell cord to the wooden brace at the side of the

front hallway. The day has begun. Cable School, dating back to the middle of the 19th century, was one of those one-room country schools which still existed in Northern Indiana in the 1930 s and 19405. The red brick building with a bell tower perched on the gable at the front of the school, was the third structure on that site. On either side of the entrance were the girls’ and boys’ cloak rooms, the walls lined with hooks with shelves above their owners’ coats. The classroom, of course, had the classic pot-bellied stove in the center, with four rows of seats on each side. A long, straight-backed bench in the front of the room faced the teacher’s desk. Paths running back from the front of the school on either side, led to the outside facilities, known in those days as “privies.” Directly south of the school, and across the road, was a home occupied by an elderly couple who, every fall, would make cider and apple butter, the latter being distilled in a huge iron cauldron over an open fire. The succulent smells literally permeated the autumn air. On the third day of the distilling process, the Ringenbergs would invite the entire school over at the end of the day for cider, apple butter, and home-made donuts. This was a moment in time that had to be a little bit like heaven. To i/nderstand the operation of a one-room country jchool, you had to have been there. The teacher, who was a whiz at organization, would very methodically move all eight grades through the basics, stopping only at ten in the morning, and two in the afternoon, for a 15-minute recess. You Can’t imag-

ine how much softball could be played in 15 minutes. Everyone in the school was assigned one of the necessary tasks at some point during the year: cleaning erasers outside on the back wall of the building, bringing in coal and wood, cleaning the slate chalk board that extended across the entire front .wall of the classroom, sweeping the floor, emptying the waste paper, designing the calendar for the month, making perforations in tissue paper along drawn lines, later to be imprinted on the board with chalk dust. There were 28 students in the school, ranging in age from 6-16. Not everyone was able to “graduate” after eight years. A few would spend several years at the same grade level. Fully half the students were members of the Amish sect. Their religion precluded their continuing their education after the eighth grade. Interestingly, whenever the Amish kids wanted to conceal some juicy tidbit from their “Englisher” counterparts, they would break into their Pennsylvania Dutch dialects. Consequently, one was forced to learn a great many idiomatic expressions in that language. Math facts, especially multiplication tables, were drilled from grade two on. September does this to me, and I am reminded of those wonderful, nostalgia-filled moments in time so many years ago. Years dim the specifics, but those years in the early forties, so painful for many, are warm and friendly to me. Autumn is a golden time to remember and reflect.
