Academic Team gets taste of Russia

By Anthony Godson Advance News Editor There's more than snow and fur hats in Russia, and members of North Wood's Academic Team can testify to that following their trip to the 9th Annual Russian Festival in Kalamazoo, Mich. The Indiana Association of School Principals (lASP) establishes a new topic for academic teams to focus on each year, and this year's topic is Imperial Russia. To get a better understanding of Russia, Academic Fine Arts Team Coach Melinda Sharp brought the request to take the students to Michigan before the Wa-Nee Schpol Board, where it was approved. "The administration is very supportive of our academic teams/' Sharp said. The board's support in the teams is evident in the good showings the teams have had in the past. North Wood had a bit of a down year last year, sending only one team to state, but has a tradition of doing very well, including a state title for the Science team two years ago. To get a better grasp of Russia, students arrived at the high school before 8 a.m. on a Saturday (Nov. 20). "We had to get up pretty early, but it was worth it," Stacy Hughes said. The students arrived at Western Michigan University, where the festival was held in the Fetzer Building, at approximately 10 a.m. and stayed to watch puppet Nostalgia Compiled by Margaret England-Neff 120 Years Ago • Dec. 4,1884 Immense quantities of wood are being marketed here.

shows, listen to lectures, see Russian songs and dances, as well as visiting many other vendors until a little after 3 p.m.. A motivation for trip was to get the kids more acquainted with Russian accustoms. "Now they can put a face on the people," Sharp said. The team was the only high school kids present, which afforded them certain privileges. "They did get special treatment," Sharp said. The students heard a Russian Choir from the University of

Chicago do folk songs, and explain each one. They also saw a Marionette Puppet Show and heard fairy tales, such as Ruslan and Ludmlia. "A lot of their fairy tales are the same as ours," Jonathan Kitchens said. One of the fairy tales the students saw was "Cinderella". The students also learned to speak a little Russian, with Flughes and Katherine Ufkin joking that they had learned to say "I am love," in Russian. It wasn't just the language and customs the students were able to

learn, but also a little bit about the mentality of a Russian citizen. "They are really optimistic," Sam Telschow said. "They look at their situation, but they look on the bright side." As the students enter their academic competitions, they may now have an edge on other schools, who have just read about Russia in books. "(The experience) makes it more alive," Kitchens said. "I think it will give us an advantage because we are closer to (Russia)."

The board addressed the matter at their Monday evening meeting. Citizen Merlin Yoder stated that he had offered to buy both Union and South for SSO each. He was turned down because he lacked status as a not-for-profit group. Still he stood in favor of the school board using a Realtor to sell the buildings and their land at a* higher cost than the $1 offer on record.
