Lakeland Youth News By Bud Smith Let’s get with it kids, these membership dues are way overdue. I am going to have one more “open” dance Saturday, Oct. 16. You are ail welcome to come to this dance but on Tuesday, Oct. 19, you must show your new card or be turned away. This is a neecessary procedure to get our records straight and to get started with our new Youth Governing board. At present junior high members leave at 9:30 every night, however, at the dances after ball games they will be allowed to stay until 11:30, the same as the senior members. Last week rar very good friends Mr. and Mrs. Eli Lilly made us a gift of some very fine chairs for our Youth Center. In order to give these chairs the maximum protection possible I decided to sort of partition off part of our room and use the chairs in there. I dared not close this portion of the room tightly so the thought came to me to make the walls of fish poles. We now have what we call the “Bamboo” room. This room is well liked by our members and I certainly would be proud to show it to any of our adult citizens who care to come in any afternoon or evening except Monday.

This ok! Fearless Leader’s birthday was Thursday and I can safely say it was the happiest one I have ever had. The members had a surprise party for me. and it sure was. They came with cakes, cards and e\en a dish of apple sauce made by one of my 15-year old girls. There were other gifts too, but the best of all was the “Happy Birthday. Bud” from each one. As the party ended I got a big hand stake from the bovs and a kiss on the cheek from the girls. At this point old “Fearless Leader” was mightly fearful that those tears welling up in his eyes would get loose and cascade down his cheeks Don’t ever say that young folks of today Hist don't care about anything Os 'all the apathy in the world today very little of it comes from these people. Thanks a million. kids — Your Fearless Leader.

What Is School? | By JANET BENSON Last Friday some of the seniors and juruors of Syracuse high school were asked this question: “What is school?” I received many answers Each student’s answer was ’ different but basically they included the same idea. Here are just a few of the answers which I re- : ceived. “School is preparing us for life we have ahead of us. Giving us the knowledge that we will need in evJ Cryday life to make each of us a better well-rounded person.” “School is a place where you leant to prepare yourself for college or just for a job after graduation It should also be, within reasonable limits, a place to have fun. get to know people, and make friends.” [ “School is preparing me for college These days have been of the greatest in my life and I appreciate all of the teachers who helped me to broaden my education. It’s really a terrific place and I wish more students would feel this way.” “Scliool is an institution of learning. A place of common sense and knowing how to get along with ’ people.” “School is the place where we acquire the facts and the ability to reason which we will need to '.akv over -our responsibilities as adults ” .“School gives us an education that most erf us w-ill need m whatevt • vocation we choose to pursue It talps us to develop our personalities when we are with others. Every student was thinking ors ! th.' future and of what would be aV. ailing him in his years to come, or hojxxi would come. I wish to thank the students for their very ' good answers Each w-as sound and factual, and I hope that there are many more students w-ho agree with thse representative statements.

In recognition of fire prevention week, SHS had a fire drill October 6. Die rooms were cleared in one minute and 10 seconds. This betters our previous (frill by 10 seconds. To round out and make the day more exciting the Syracuse fire department came roaring to the school.' Os course, there was no fire and; after their practice run the firemen left. It took them only three minutes j3O seconds to get to our school. Our alert firemen are to be commended. At 10:15 am., the entire school attended a convocation. Our speaker was sergeant Peters. His talk and demonstrations were on “The Science of Fire". One unusual demonstration was the complete burning of steel wool. He used many liquids and materials in - his demonstrations to show how some liquids or materials are more volatile than others. He said the three things necessary for fire are: oxygen, vapors, and ignition. One of the most flammable liquids is gasoline which will become volatile at 55 degrees below zero. Kerosene, however, does not burn until it is heated. The convocation was an unusual and worthwhile one.

He enjoys working with young people who are interested in gaining i a good education and are willing : to spend hours of work and sweat i to get his job accomplished, but has very little patience with students who have the ability to do good work but lack the initative or the desire to do well in school. One of the greatest awards in teaching is working with youth through coaching and in speech and dramatic work, which enables him to get to know the students a little better than is possible in the classroom. Mr. Dorsey feels there are many values gained by participating in these extracurricular activities, and he is very happy to wxrk with fae youth of Milford high 11 school as a coach and play director.
