VIEWS and REVIEWS

Several high school teachers highly enjoyed the Spring Dance and especially the delicious refreshments, as did all the students. A comment made by Philip Fawley, went something like thi£. “To be truthfully honest, I didn’t each much supper. Oh, well (as he grabbed another handfull of codkies to eat while drinking another glass of punch), why make excuses!” Dick Beck returned Saturday evening to the junior high dance so he could enjoy more of the punch, which certainly made a big hit with everyone as the busy girls kept filling the punch bowl and finally ran completely out of ingredients. Oh’s and ah’s were heard often during the evening of the dance as students and their guests viewed the beautiful decorations (theme “April In Paris”) for the first time. Lewis Immel, advisor for the “Echo” (year book) staff, was present with a camera getting pictures of one of the biggest events of the year, for next year’s photograph department. And, Mr. Immel was not the only one there taking his share of pictures. Several cameras clicked during the evening. Principal Longenecker said the Spring Dance last Friday night was the prettiest yet. It seems that way each year, but the decorations this year were exceptional. It won’t be long now until we’ll all be referring to the parking lot across from the Library. The last of the old schol building was taken away this week and the final clearing off is all that remains to be done of the wrecking job. Saw Keith Cripe operating a bull dozer in the. lot just north of Seiffert Tile yesterday. Looks like more activity in the Village. Do we dare mention the weather? Sunday night’s record breaking April snow storm fowled up traffic thru Monday. But Wednesday’s sun pushed the mercury up in the sixties and we hope that takes care of the snow for at least six or seven months.

Lois Held Writes Os Work Io Africa Miss Lois Held, daughter of Mrs. Sam Houser, has written of her experiences as medical missionary in Nigeria, West Africa, to her family. Part of a recent letter is reprinted here. ♦ ♦ * March 3, 1957 Dear Mother and Sam and All: At last I am in my own home at Roni. I did my final moving last night. The house really looks nice. I got my curtains made and up, but most of my things aren’t put away. This has been a real heavy week. It really started on Monday (as all working weeks do). I had a heavy day at the dispensary and then after dinner we went to the segregation willage where we also had a big afternoon. We went back cjn Tuesday p. m. to start classes with the lepers and we had no more than pulled in when the chief’s car came in, too. A man got out and said that he wanted me to help his wife as she had cut her neck. She was in the back seat and three people were holding her down. I didn’t know what the score was, so I got into their car and went back to the dispensery and was going to give her a shot of morphine. Here it isn’t like at home where you have all of the sterile equipment and all. I had to go to the house and boil water and get all of the things clean and tablets of morphine dissolved. I gave her the shot to quiet her and then thought I would have a look at her neck. She really did a good job of cutting her throat with a razor; she just missed her jugular vein but she cut clear through everything else. Then I had to soak some needles and thread in alcohol and sew her up. Her husband is the son of the chief and he told Ralph that she has devils in her and every sc, often they tell her to do things like that and she doe c them. She was surely wild and e\en yesterdav when I took the stitches out she had such a wild lop\ in her eyes. It reminded me so much of the place in Mark where the man brought his son to Jesus and told him how the spirits had him throw himself into the fire ’’nd into the water and how he threw himself on the ground. This woman would have flopped all over the ground had they not held her. The only difference is that the man who- brought the boy wanted to believe, while here they are such strong Moslems that they just want healing—not just to be well, but so that they cannot say that the woman took her own life as that is a s orrib: exuerience so" r the who e compound—like a curse on it. I know we have darkness at home, but this is SUCH darkness. Webster School Choir ?kns Two Programs The mixed choir of the North Webster High School, under the direction of James K. Greiner, will present 12 musical numbers at the Church of God on Sunday night 14 April at 7:30. They will also present a program at the North Winona Church of the Brethren on Sunday night 28 April. Hand Badly Injured In School Accident Friday Marcia Richards, 15, North Webster High School student, received a severely cut wrist at the school Friday when she apparently slipped as she started to go out the gymnasium door, causing her hand to go through the glass. Four specialists at the Parkview Hospital in Fort Wayne assisted in the three-hour surgery required to mend and close the wound. Marcia’s father, Kenneth Richards reported late Sunday night that she is doing as well as can be expected and that doctors hold much hope that she will eventually regain use of her fingers and hand.
