THE EDITOR

Freedom Os Speech!

Dear Editor: Much has been said, both in the 'Mail-Journal and in other papers, about the distribution of an underground paper at Wa'wasee high. It has been called “scurrilous” and “smut” by more than one source. It received these labels because of one vulgar word contained in a cryptic poem. I feel that anyone would be justified in applying the words scurrilous and smut to that particular item. However, I saw the rest of the paper as a statement of opinion. To me, these opinions were slanted and at times contradictory, but I respect the right of the persons involved to hold

those opinions. I fear that many people are using that one breach of good taste as an excuse for condemning the views expressed in the paper. I want to make it clear that I am not criticizing the administration of Wawasee for banning the paper. The content was not the major issue in its prohibition. The major concern, as I understand it, was the distribution of the paper within the school, which is against school board regulations. Any other literature, regardless of the subject matter, would be subject to the same rules. Whatever other effects this incident has had on residents of

Special Education - A Goal Accomplished

America has always strived to provide an adequate education for all of its citizens. For years, educators have realized that there was a definite need for a special program for children who could not make satisfactory achievement in the regular school programs. This need has been met through the special education program. Special classes are being provided in the Lakeland Community School Corporation for students with special learning needs. The number of students in each classroom is greatly reduced and a teacher is in charge who has specialized training in meeting their needs. By reducing class size the instructor is better able to meet individual needs. Students in special education classes are given more opportunities than they would have in a regular classroom to increase their skills in the basic necessary educational tool subjects — language arts and mathematics. Beginning in their upper junior high school classes, they are given the instruction and the opportunities to acquire some of the vocational skills they will need to find employment in American society. Industrial arts, typing, domestic and food classes are a part of the curriculum for the older junior high school students in this program. After junior high school, these students are allowed to broaden their educational endeavors by enrolling in a program designed to meet their needs at Wa'wasee high school. The ultimate goal of the junior high school special education program is to begin to prepare these students both socially and vocationally to operate successfully within an adult community. STATE FFA PRESIDENT AT WAWASEE By Rick Rapp The Wawasee Future Farmers of America chapter met in the Wawasee high school auditorium at 7:30 Thursday, Sept. 18, with the chapters from Fairfield and Pierceton as guests. The meeting was brought to order by the Wawasee FFA president, David Baumgartner. The opening ceremonies were given followed by the welcome by Jay Anglin. Lon Stuckwish, Indiana State FFA president, presented a very inspiring speech. The group then enjoyed a FFA film entitled “Focus on Forty” which was about the Fortieth National FFA Convention. The meeting was then adjourned. MISS TEENAGE FORT WAYNE CROWNED Sharon Rose Ann Gabet, 17, of New Haven, is Miss Teenage Fort Wayne 1970. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Gerald R. Gabet. Sharon was crowned on Sunday night during an hour-long pageant. She received prizes valued at more than SI,OOO, including a sailboat and a portable TV set. This was the culmination in a series of eliminations where judging was based on talent, intelligence, poise, personality and charm. Sharon’s talent presentation was a dramatic selection from Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet.” Fort Wayne’s new Miss Teenage will now travel to Fort Worth, Texas, to represent this area in national competition. The Miss Teenage America Pageant will be colorcast November 15 by CBS. Runners-up for the title were: Debi Grimm of Bourbon, Paula

The use of heavy eyeliner, mascara and eye shadow to highlight the eyes is currently very popular. But it now appears that many women apply the eyeliner pencil to the upper and lower border of the eyelids, inside the lashes, rather than to the eyelid behind the lashes. According to a recent report by an eye specialist, this can lead to various problems including permanent pigmentation of tlje conjunctiva — or the mucous membrane lining the inside of the eyelids — moderate redness, itching, tearing and blurring of vision. This is not a very lovely picture. A doctor, in his report, urged: “When they must use a cosmetic around their eyes, women should be urged to confine it to the lashes and to the skin external to them . . . In other words, ladies, avoid using cosmetics on the inner rim of the eye, inside the eyelashes, and you may save yourself a lot of grief.
