Program Darla, who has transferred from the Indiana School for the Blind at Indianapolis to Wawasee high school as a junior, spoke concerning her experiences there and here and why she transferred. Because she realizes she can not spend her entire life in the isolation and protection of a world for the blind only, Darla is trying while still young to adapt herself to a “seeing world." Many hobbies and recreational activities such as crocheting, bicycling, and horseback riding keep Darla busy. She does not want to be classified “a dormitory cowboy” as her fellow students dubbed those who would not venture out into the world around them. She would like to be able to walk alone from her North Shore Syracuse Lake home to iqjtown Syracuse for a “loaf of bread for her mother like any good daughter." Ladies of the Round Table members have adopted Darla and have volunteered to read aloud for her or tape reading assignments to help in classes where she can not obtain Braille texts. Darla herself avers she would rather read than eat and therefore makes utmost use of the state Braille library. Wawasee students have accepted Darla as “one of themselves" and are most helpful, kind, and considerate. Darla admits she was pleased to learn how polite and considerate they also are of one another. Path Os Light To close the evening program, Mrs. Mock started a lighted candle and as each member spread the path of light around the table in a continuous glow, she read appropriate verses and inspirational thoughts in keeping with the theme of the evening — "It is better to light a candle than to curse the darkness.” Serving with Mrs. Mock on the planning committee were Mrs. Beckman, Miss Ethel Bowser, Mrs. Robert Hamman, Mrs. Schoeff, and Mrs. Carl Wilkinson.
