WHERE’S MY ROOM? — Enthusiastic confusion reigns in crowded hallway. This scons was typical of opening day crowds as students hurry te class. The Start Os Something Big

By Ales la Watson The date September 9,1908, will go down in history in northern Kosciusko county as the first day of school in Wawasee High School. Seven hundred and sixty-five students entered, for the first time, the partially finished structure. By the end of eight hours Mr. Smith had brought a semblance of order to earlier chaos and confusion. Students reported to their homerooms with dampened spirits due to a cancellation of the general assembly because of rain. Mr. Smith welcomed the students to the school by intercom and challenged them to accept the new ideas and responsibilities of young adults. The breakdown in enrollment shows that the freshmen have 203 in their class, sophomores 180. juniors 194, and the seniors have the smallest class with 182 members. Interestingly enough, at Wawasee, the girls can afford to be choosey. TV odds favor the girls with seven boys to every six girls. There are many new classes being offered at the school. These classes include French. German, creative writing, drama, journalism. political systems, world geography, study of man, earth science, general math, office machines, secretarial lab. marine training, swimming, and music understanding Various advanced classes have been added in the vocational home economics department and industrial education area. Also new this year is the independent study hall. During a study hall, the student is free to use the learning resource center, to chat in the commons, or. to study in the quiet study hall. If a student is not mature enough to conduct himself proper manner his independent study card is taken away. A student with no study card must report to the quiet study hall each day. Due to the great variety of classes being offered, it was felt necessary to have an eight period day. A minimum of at least six classes mu*

be taken by each student The students are still working under several handicaps. The building is still being worked on and there is much noise and confusion. It is expected that the cafeteria will be completed in two to three wesks. Present plans set the completion date for the auditorium as November 1. 1968. After three weeks of school, class elections have been held, classes are underway, and some of the clubs are organized. The pace has been set for the 68-68 school year and it appears to be the start of something big. Band Presents First Marching Show By PEGI LOO The Wawasee Marching Band, consisting of 90 students, marched for the first time on a football field a week ago Saturday at the game against LaVille. They had practiced only four days and still adapted to seating changes and audio trouble. The drum major is Dave Elliott and the majorettes are Cynthia Bucher and Anna be th Arthur. CITIZENSHIP DAY Ida Juarez, a senior government student, is now an official United States citizen. Ida passed her citizenship test this summer. The discovery of this came by accident in Mr. Zurcher's government class, when he passed out a sample citizenship test. Ida informed Mr Zurcher of her recent achievement at this time and told the class about it. Mr. Zurcher's government class has had an, "In Class Trip to Washington. D. C.,” with reports, slides, pictures, and postcards.

The spray removes up to 80% of accumulated dirt. The feature is standard on 1969 Corvettes. It comes with the hidden headlights available on Camaro, Caprice and Kingswood Estate Wagons. It is available on all other models except Corvair. Heated glass In a moment your rear window will self-defrost.

Mrs Beveridge will have a chance to present the award to the lucky late arrival at the next faculty meeting. With this presentation she must also share an original poem with the group which will cheer up the "Chief" and change his scowl to a smile.

Rock, speaking to the Syracuse-Wawa-see Chamber of Commerce last Monday night, said the Indiana department of commerce was placing ads in national magazines in order to promote Hoosier tourism. Since then we were given a September copy of the ‘‘Holiday Inn”, a magazine for travelers which goes into each room of all Holiday Inns throughout the nation. You’ll be interested to know there appears a paid ad on Indiana on page 8, plugging among other things the free cellophane “Bag of Surprises” the Lt.-Gov. showed here. There also appears in the same issue two colorfully written feature stories on Indiana—“ Hoosier Holiday” by H. E. Mcßeynolds on page 21, and “Indiana Trail Ride” by Bill Thomas on page 33. Both are illustrated with color pictures. * * * In response to questions of who Earieen Fisher is, she’s the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Noble Fisher of Milford, a Milford high school graduate in 1964 and an Indiana university school of journalism graduate in June of this year. She received the coveted $1,500 Sally Cooper scholarship for journalism provided by the Indianapolis Star in her last year at I. U. At the present time she is Associated Press bureau correspondent in the Indianapolis AP office. * * * There has been some discussion among members of the SyracuseWawasee Chamber of Commerce to come up with an Independent slate for the Syracuse town board and clerk-treasurer in the next election. Those talking about the Independent ticket feel the present board is not aggressive enough, are not providing the initiative to get Syracuse moving, and has let the zoning board and zoning board of appeals sink into a state of limbo if not complete inactivity.
