Some of the projects they can do are an aggravation board, a ribbon, rack, a picture frame, a sleeve board and a lamp that looks like an old fashioned pump. Heading south for a vacation ?

Fifth Graders Inspiring

Dear Editor: Open letter to the parents and friends of Mrs. Richard Ditmer’s fifth grade Syracuse vocal group: To those of you who were unable to hear them sing at the Syracuse Church of God, I’m sorry you missed this wonderfully inspiring program. These young people performed magnificently and deserve your support and praise. To you who heard them, I know that you share with me great pride in their efforts. To every member of this community: Are you aware of the completely outstanding accomplishments that Mrs. Ditmer has achieved with this large group of students? Think of the love, patience, time and just plain hard work involved! Appreciate her and the tremendous job that she is doing with your children. Could you do it? To the ones who simply aren’t interested — do yourself a great big favor and GET’ interested! If you had heard these kids on television (the idiot box), you would “knock yourself out’’ telling everyone how good they are. To Mrs. Ditmer and the “Kids”: I want to congratulate you on your lovely program. All three songs were excellent. Now, I want to humbly thank

each of you for doing my composition: "Help Me, Dear Lord”. Several years ago, two girls and myself made a tape recording of it. The organ accompaniment was fine, but we sure "loused up” the vocalization. Therefore, I had never imagined that it could sound so beautiful. I can only guess how many long hours you spent and how terribly hard you worked on it. I am so grateful and do appreciate the time and effort involved. “Kids”, you may soon forget me — that’s not important — but I do hope you will remember the meaning of the song. It is my firm belief that true joy and happiness can be attained only when we strive to become better persons, to help others, and to always have a deep faith in God’s love for us. Whenever you are angry, unhappy, lonesome, or in real trouble; sing the words and see if you don’t feel much better. My prayer: That God will abundantly bless you and your loved ones. Further, that everyone of you shall some time experience a wonderful thrill such as you gave me while I listened to my song. They were the happiest few moments of my life and I wouldn’t trade them for all the money in the world! I will treas-

Lakeland Youth News By Terry Auker It has been my priviledge for the past year to be the youth director of the Lakeland Youth Center and I’ve had many pleasant experiences in working with the young people of this community. I’m resigning for many personal reasons and hope you understand. The man who is taking my place is Tom Kitch. Tom is a community minded person and enjoys working with young people. He is presently employed with our local police force and has supervised our dances many times. He has many ideas for the center and I personally feel he will be a real asset to the Youth Center. There will be a board meeting Thursday, Jan. 30, at 8 p.m. so that Tom can meet the youth governing board. ure the memory forever. Truly, “my cup runneth over”. With love, Betty J. Menefee

During our last board meeting we had election of officers for the following years and the results are as follows: President — Keith Huff Vice president —- Al Butt Secretary — Sherry Butler Social chairman — Pat Peters There was no dance this past week at the center but I heard The Bare Facts did a fabulous job for the school dance. By popular request I hope to get this group for the Youth Center in the near future. This week we will feature the Lost Souls right after the basketball game against Pierceton so we hope to see a good crowd out for this dance. Again I’d like to extend my appreciation for all the cooperation for the youth, both boards and parents during my year as the youth director. Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Hare, r 4 Syracuse, have returned home from a vacation trip to Hawaii.
