Wawasee High To Include Freshmen

Members of the Lakeland school board voted Tuesday evening to add the freshmen class to the rolls of Wawasee high school next fall instead of housing only the upper three grades in the building. The action came on the recommendation of Wawasee high school principal Henry Smith, who, after taking a “long look” at the incoming freshman class, wanted them at the high school or under one roof because of courses that could or could not be offered. Had they been kept in the several corporation schools the freshmen would not have been able to receive instructions in several courses because of the small number who had pre-enrolled in same. Affected would be industrial arts where agriculture enrollments of seven, six and two were used as examples; home ec; and foreign languages. With 211 students in the present eighth grade class the enrollment at the high school next fall will be approximately 820. The schools will operate with kindergarten to fifth grade in elementary, six, seven and eight in junior high and the senior high as listed above. Dual Transportation Board members also gave school administrators the go-ahead for dual transportation during the 1968-69 school year. This would give the elementary students a shorter day than they now have and the high school students a longer day. The longer day for high school students will give ample time for some extra curricular activities during the day and time for the curriculum being planned. kindergarten On a motion made by Dr. Robert Craig and seconded by Charles Kroh the board voted to hold kindergarten classes every day instead of on the every other day basis as is being done presently. Also adopted during the evening was the establishment of a textbook rental program for grades 1-12 beginning next fall. After the capital investment is made the rentals will pay for the books. It cuts the cost of books for students about one third of what they are payiny by buying the books. Action was taken to approve use of computer service with Mcßee Automated Business Systems for class scheduling and classroom assignment for high school students. The cost is $1.30 per student but will save the corporation from having to pay guidance personnel for doing the same job manually. Approval was given to continue the agreement with the Whitko corporation to share the attendance officer, Miss Sybil A. Lytle of r 1 Leesburg, until June 1, 1968. Superintendent Don Arnold reported a visit he had made with high school home ec teachers and Mr. Smith to Mutschler Brothers’ Company in Nappanee in regards to the kitchen areas in the new school. Mr. Arnold also reported on the audit made of corporation books recently by the state. The audit was requested last year when personnel changes were made. Mr. Arnold reported everything was “in fine shape”. The board will receive a written report in the fu-

Top-dress wheat NOW Wheat needs nitrogen to resume growth as soon as the young plants awaken from winter dormancy. This is the crucial stage which Gulf Ura-Greeen* liquid nitrogen is converted into extra bushel-building power. One application lasts all through the growing season when you rely on Ura-Greeen’s special blend of all three nitrogen forms. It’s the perfect blend of nitrogen grow-power.

Congratulations On 'New Look'

February 19, 1968 Dear Editor: Congratulations on having established a “new look” for your paper, The Mail-Journal. The first edition, printed with new equipment, is clear and sharp and really a pleasure to read. I have often remarked to myself, judging from past editions, that you have an exceptionally fine, local paper. Having the opportunity to travel throughout the country, I occasionally pick up a local paper in other small towns. Many are a sorry lot with about four pages, no local pictures, nor any other commendable features. In my judgment the lake area, which your paper covers, is extremely fortunate in having a progressive publication in its midst, a local news organ that is really a living and a creative force. I note, too, that you take the initiative with editorials which sponsor worthwhile causes. Tais type of civic leadership is highly desirable in aiding to better your community. Apparently you don’t need a firecracker placed under your chair to get new ideas moving. If just a bit more of this would be shown by ethers, your community would soon find itself on the road to becoming a growing and a dynamic entity. So again, congratulations on your vision and leadership. May ycu have many more years of continued success with your excellent venutre. It appears to me that your project is the essence of sound public relations.
