Wednesday 3:25 p.m. — North Webster GAA Wawasee In National League Wawasee high school has recently gained membership as an affiliate of the National Forensic League.

Delores Resendez — one first and one second, both in poetry. The debate team will go to Northside high school in Fort Wayne on October 17 to observe.

Youth Center Board Attends Lakeland School Board Meeting

Bill Brown, director of the Lakeland Youth Center, was present at the Tuesday evening meeting of the Lakeland school board to question the board on members of the center using the old gym at the Syracuse school for sponsored activities. He stated many of the members of the center were interested in such a program which would be held two nights per week and on Saturday afternoon. He also assured the board the program would be under adult supervision. Board members questioned him as to the time when the youths would want to use the gym with the answer being between the hours of 6:30 and 9:30 p.m. during the week and for three hours on Saturday afternoon. He was instructed this would be covered in the board’s policy for building use and of the fact that he should see business manager Marion Lantz to make sure the schedules did not conflict with school activities in the gym. Mr. Brown stated only youth center members would be allowed to be in attendance and no one would be allowed to walk in off the streets and join the activities. When asked what requirements were for joining the youth center Brown states any junior high or high school student in the Lakeland corporation could join. Fees are $5 for one child in a family, $3 for the second child and $2 for the third child. No family pays over $lO per year. Youth and adult boards help to govern the activities of the center and the director has the power to lift the cards of members who get into trouble at school or in the community. Mr. Brown and Mr. Lantz will meet to work out arrangements for use of the building. Law Suit A question was voiced from the floor as to the cost of the current law suit the board is appealing. Attorney Robert Reed estimated the cost at SSOO. When questioned as to how much had been spent thus far he answered S3OO. Asked if the board would stop in Chicago those present were told board members hoped to win in Chicago, however, no one could answer that question at the present time. • The board stated the main objective of the appeal is the fact the members feel a parent should have something to say about how a child should act. The board currently requires parent signatures for many privileges at the school. After additional discussion on whether the school board should continue to fight the court’s decision or not school board candidate Gareth Meek stated he felt in the picture of the over all budget they were talking of such a small amount of money for such a good cause the board should press on. Additional questions concerned long hair on boys and pant suits for girls. Both are permitted if parents’ permission is given. Joe Hughes asked if bathing caps were required in the pool for boys with long hair. Board members and school personnel

present could not answer the question. Girls are required to wear bathing caps in the pool at all times. The school corporation has been asked to join with 15 other corporations for the purpose of financing study seminars in various educational practices. Superintendent Don Arnold explained the cost would be $395 and would cover f,ve seminars. Three people could attend each of the seminars which would be held in northeastern Indiana and would therefore not require any overnight traveling. Upon the recommendation of the superintendent board members voted to join with the other corporations for the seminars. Approval was given' for the president of the board to sign a certificate of payment to Vic Trippel Plumbing and Heating, Inc., for repair and conversion of the boilers at the Syracuse school in the amount of $17,955. Superintendent Arnold reported for John Naab on the use of the North Webster school library during a seven week period during the summer. The library there was open for three hours on one day each week with 984 books being checked out. Both Milford and Syracuse have public libraries so the program is not conducted in either* of those towns. Bill Brammer, also a school board candidate, questioned the board on the over crowding of the schools. He stated enrollment last year was higher than the enrollment this year. Superintendent Arnold explained the official enrollment for the schools last year was 3,025 with 71 migrant children who left after the first frost. He then explained the enrollment this year is 3,017 without the migrant children enrolled. If these children would have enrolled this year the total enrollment would be 3,089. Mr. Arnold also stated last year kindergarten classes were not held in Milford until after the migrant children left so the kindergarten rooms could be used to teach these children. Other questions concerned the use of the buildings for 12 months instead of the current nine month year and what will happen if the private schools are forced to close and students currently enrolled ip those schools enroll in public schools. The 12 month school, according to school officials, is something that is being studied, however, it will be necessary for a large number of schools to change to this plan before it can become effective because of persons moving from one location to another. Problems need to be worked out before this can become effective. As to the question on private schools closing very few if any students in the Lakeland Corporation are attending such schools at the present time so it would not affect the school system here. Approval was given for Mrs. Betty Arthur to teach two adult education classes at Wawasee high school. The classes are sewing classes and will meet for

eight weeks, 24 hours per night. Classes were conducted in the same manner last year. The superintendent recommended Dennis Stahly, a graduate of Goshen college, be employed as an English teacher at Syracuse junior high. Approval was given for hiring Mr. Stahly. Announcement was given on the regional school board meeting to be held in South Bend on November 12. Hearing Superintendent Arnold stated a hearing would be held on the remonstrances against the 60 cent cumulative building fund/ The hearing is set for 10 a.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 20, in the auditorium at Wawasee high school. Arnold then reviewed the reasons for the decision to establish the fund, stating “The board of school trustees studied for 18 months the future needs of the school corporation before making a decision about the cumulative building fund. During that time a survey was conducted by the division of schoolhouse planning of the department of public instruction and a meeting was held with Dr. Montford Barr of Indiana university regarding the proper approach from a financial point of view.” Arnold also told of the additions planned at North Webster and Wawasee high school and of
