’School' By Cindy Wise School is a must we shouldn't omit. But when we are 16 we sometimes quit! ! ! j It isn't wise we all*, should know ! But I think some pupils just like to “blow.” I School can be fun, and school can be tough, But often that's only because we ; get rough. School is a place where we all i learn—(???) I Or that is—maybe some of us I learn, I About flowers, and trees, and spmeI times fems. School teaches us also about Asia and Viet Nam, i And whether things are “for real,” ’or'onlv a sham. | We study the literature of the ages. ! Among with the sayings of many great sages. New modem math develops power to reason. While history teaches against committing treason. In school we learn how to work with each other, j And learn to regard others as i brothers. School is a must we shouldn't omit. So when you are 16 please don’t iqutt! Just remember that school can be fun. I Before you know it, it’ll be over land done. ; Lakeland Youth News By Bud Smith Our Snow Ball dance is Friday evening at the Youth Center.

Our Sbvie Day is Saturday, just call the Youth Center from 9 to 5 for any odd jobs you have for us to do. The number is 457-3055. We had our first official race on our new track Sunday afternoon. We had many entries and the boys conducted a very fine afternoon of racing full of thrills, spills and excitement. It does my heart good to see these young folks take such an interest and pride in their cars which they have built themselves. I am at present trying to get more girls interested in this fine hobby. I assure you girls, that the boys and I will do all possible to help you keep your car in running condition, so just don’t be worried about getting in the racing chib.

Politics Is Politics Was Politics

All did not go swimmingly with Indiana's first politicians, nor has it ever since. Very early in our government’s history* Lt. Governor Christopher Harrison proclaimed himself the top official because Governor Jonathan Jennings had violated the constitution. Our first constitution specifically stated that “no person holding any office under the authority of the United States, or this state, shall exercise the office of Governor or Lieutenant - Governor.” Jonathan Jennings, while Governor of the state, accepted the office of federal commissioner. at a salary of sl2 per day, to negotiate with the Indians for purchase of lands in northern Indiana. It was no straining of the point by those opposing this, precedent to say that Jennings had disqualified himself for the governorship. Jeffersonville's newspaper, the “Indianian,” published an open letter to the Governor, charging him with violation of the constitution. An investigation committee, headed by Samuel Milroy, was appointjes and asked the governor for documents that would “assist the committee to a full, fair and speedy investigation of this unfortunate subject.” Jennings answered that he had served on the Indian commission for the United States government, but with, as he thought, entire propriety, as his motive was service to the people of Indiana. Another committee met with Lt.Gov. Harrison, one of the objectors I to the Governor's course of action, I and asked him what he had to say ! about the whole matter. Harrison stated that if the committee approached him as Lt.-Gov-ernor he had nothing to say but if the committee recognized him as governor of the state of Indiana, he had much to say. The investigating committee did not recognize him as governor and in a few days, Harrison resigned his office. He submitted a formal resignation anti a statement to the senate that “as far as the officers in the executive department of the government and the general assembly of this state have refused to recognize and acknowledge that authority which, according to my understanding, is constitutionally attached to the office, the name ptself, in my estimation, is no loiter worth retaining.” Harrison quit. Os all this, historian Logan Esarey stated that “all members of the assembly no doubt were aware of the plain violation of the constitution, yet it seems that only a few had the courage to oppose the governor.” So the state was left without a Lt.-Governor. Before Jennings' second term expired he resigned the governorship for a seat in congress, Ratliff Boon, president of the senate, succeeded him and served as governor for about three months. Our next governor. William Hendricks, also resigned the office on being elected to the United States senate. Ratliff Boon, who had been elected Lt-Govemor under Hendricks. also resigned to go to congress. James B. Ray. president of the senate, became acting governor. and then was elected to the office in 1825. The state's first representative in congress was William Hendricks, and the first two senators were James Noble and Waller Taylor (elected by the legislature). Waller Taylor has been described as a “southern fire eater” who tried to provoke Governor Jennings into a duel over the issue of slavery James Noble was a brother of Governor Noah Noble and was said to have been a strong man and an able speaker. He died in office in Washington. Everett Sanders stated of our early congressmen: “The record is filled with chronicles the fights by all of these men for roads. for canals, for land and offices, for setters’ rights and privileges, for frontier protection by rangers and militia.” Our state will always be indebted to these men who laid, as carefully and coocientiously as they knew, the foundation stones for the great state known as Indiana.

Portland, Ind., Woman Seeks State Office

Sparkle G. Crowe of Portland announced today that she will be a candidate for the Republican nomination for superintendent of public instruction. Mrs. Crowe has been a teacher and counselor in the public schools of Indiana for more than 20 years, currently serving as guidance director | for die Jay School Corporation. A graduate of Monticello high school,' she has a bachelor's degree from Franklin college, holds a master’s degree from Ball State university and has done further graduate study at several universities. Mrs. Crowe served as president of the Indiana State Teachers Association in 1962 and is currently representing the National Education Association on the Interprofessional Commission on Pupil Services. Widely known for her political activities, Mrs; Crowe served as vicechairman of the Jay county Republican central committee and on the fifth district republican committee 10 years. Her husband, the late Gordon S. Crowe, was long active in Republican politics. She was appointed to the state board of education in 1958 by Governor Harold Handley and was reappointed by Governor Matthew Welsh in 1962. During these eight years as a member of the teacher training and licensing commission she has been active in upgrading the teacher-education curriculum and played a large part in the 1963 revision which greatly increased the requirements for academic study and subject matter emphasis.

education and my broad experience in the schools and in state and national studies will be of enormous assstance in leading such a restudy and revision of these programs, and if elected, I shall project myself into these activities with enthusiam and vigor. | “Our recent federal programs in financing education have merit, but ’the pro Hems arising from their administration have created a situation of mounting seriousness and complexity. These programs must be studied in the light of our experience land reforms brought about in the direction of reducing the federal controls that are inherent in them and of increasing the degree to which funds are distributed on a formula basis as contrasted with federallocal grants. i “I believe that the vocational situation in Indiana is far too complicated and that the duplcations of program and administration are blocking sound progress toward solving the problems of our young people. I believe also that post high school opportunities for youth, unable for financial or ability reasons, to go to college must be broadened in order ; to prevent the loss of talent and ability among Indiana youth. “I believe that state participation ■ in the financing of schools must be , exptended so that the dwindling per- • centage of property taxpayers will l be relieved of the high, unfair, and inequitable load they are carrying : in the public schools. I believe also that one of the major problems in the quality of instruction lies in the overload of work on the individual ! teacher, both as to number of pupils and as to the enormous record keep- ■ ing and bookkeeping activities that have grown up in the schools. i “As the campaign progresses I

expect to meet with the public 4rid with delegates as much as my time will permit and to discuss fully and frankly all of the issues that today are plaguing the citizens of our state in the area of education. I* believe that I can give Indiana a fresh, vigorous administration of the state department of education and I certainly invite the support of all persons in all parties.” MILFORD - LEESBURG Hospital Notes Mrs. Robert Bonnet of r 2 Leesburg entered the Goshen hospital last Tuesday.
