Janice Pilcher Returns From South America . Japice Pilcher, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Douglas Pilcher of 112 west Pearl street, Syracuse, has returned to Indiana from South America where she was assigned for special work in the slums of Ariquipo, Peru. S. A., under the summer service program of the Peruvian-American Council. Janice is a junior at Anderson JANICE PILCHER college with a major in elementary educat.w and minor in Spanish and history. She was working under the Tri-S (student summer service) program which is a cooperative venture of the college, its students and the Church of God missions program. She was assigned to teach English in the Jesusi Maria school ;n the slums of Ariquipo. Peru. When she entered that small, dirty, unventitated school room, without any teaching materials, background knowledge of the school or children, it was a challenge. She had in no way prepared herself tor the shock of trying to teach Spanish speaking children English in only a month's time. j For the first time in her life, she felt a desperate need, that she could fill. With so little time she concentrated on teaching them the numbers, words and simple sentences. They responed In such a warm way that she knew that they were comprehending more than their lessons. Janice felt that she was finally filling a need and serving God, This feeling of usefulness she experienced while teaching was the answer to a puzzling question: How could she best serve God with her abilities? f |> mt KITTY 1 UTfl p ANO TM» I rc. r wwwv wav* j ]

This is a yen’ common topic of conversation, especially after the embarrassing situation has taken place. Tl>at is, failure to recall the icme of an acquaintance you chance to run into. Just last week I ran into Lois Brown downtown and as usual said “Hi. June, how are things today?” We walked down the street passing the time of day and finally she brought up the fact that altho I had been calling he: June all summer whenever we met, that June was not her name. It came, to me. richt away that it was Lois. I asked her why she would even answer me when I called her by the wrong name and she said she knew I was just confused. Also commented she had done this same thing, with much embarrassment, many times, and was most understanding about itl Had always called her by her correct name prior to this summer, but had run into an acquaintance
from Michigan City by the name of June Brown about a year age and we both had trouble remembering each other’s names. So Lois became June to me after that. But now to bring up a real cone fusing one. Ellie Ogle is Don’s step-mother. When Don’s father passed away and Ellie married Boyd Ogle, friends would tell Don they had seen his step-father. That _ helped us because at this point we didn’t know what relation Boyd I was to us. We are real proud to have him as a step-father, al- ’ though he treats us more like a real father. ’ I Mary Jane Lantz is my stept 1 sister. On occasions, when Ellie and Mary Jane are in the company with j someone.they know has a sense of . humor, and introductions are in order, it goes something like this. i Mary Jane, introducing Ellie, will . say: “This is my step-sister’s stept mother-in-law.” Tuere is a five minute pause while the person be- • ' ing introduced tries to figure this ['one out. You can figure out the I reversal of the introduction when I ‘Ellie is at the helm. i To add further confusion, Boyd [has a married daughter and a married son. Fourth of July we had out-of-town guests at the golf cour- ■ se. Ellie and Boyd appeared on the [scene with Boyd’s daughter, Janet and son-in-law, Dave. I introduced our friends to Ellie and Janet who | were inside the clubhouse, saying: j This is my mother-in-law, Ellie Ogle and (then started to falter) my sister. Janet Landaw.” Janet is a real clown and immediately went j along with it and we all laughed, as our friends were slightly familiar with our family set-up. Since then. Janet and I call each other I “Sis”. ‘ As we got outside the clubhouse. ■ ;we ran into Boyd and Dave. In- ’ t reductions were again in order. So j I introduced them as my father-in-i law and brother-in-law. They of I couse were unaware ot. what had just happened mside, and looked a little blank, until we filled them in. , However, in the middle of the confusion of the second introduction. I used the wife’s maiden name of our guests instead of her married , name. It was quite a mess, but we
