HA Holds Dress Down Party Oct. 26 By BARB RUSH The members of the Wawasee high school FT A met in the high school commons on October 26 for their annual Fall Dress-Down party. The party was just what the name implies — members of the club dressed in old clothes. Team games and the crowning of the FTA Scarecrow and the 1971 Fall Dress-Down queen were the highlights of the event. Each club member pulled a number of a hat and identical numbers were team m&tes. The first event was a creative contest, known as Pumpkin Primping. Teams were supplied with pumpkins, paper, and pins with instruction to decorate their pumpkins. Pumpkins were judged by Mrs. Max Ellen Smith and Ron Corson on originality and ugliness. This was followed by several other “brain” and “brawn” games. Teams were given points according to the place they received in each event. The winning team was Sandy’s Sweeties with 474 points. Sandy’s Sweeties were Sandy Strand - Captain, Karen Allen. Lucy Wagner, Becky Long, and Sonja Whisler. These girls were given candy-filled pumpkins for prizes. After the games were over, appropriate fall refreshments were served by the refreshment committee. This committee was comprised of Margaret Appenzeller, Carlynn Baumgartner, Susi Baker, Susan Brown, Linda Bitner, Joni Caple, Kelly Carvajal, hnd Connie Christner. Climaxing the evening was the crowning of the FTA Scarecrow and the 1971 Fall Dress-Down Queen. The judges were Mrs. Smith and Mr. Corson and the master of ceremonies was chapter sponsor, Terry Iden. Mr. Iden introduced Nancy Crowl, the 1970 Fall Dress-Down Queen. Nancy gave a farewell address and words of encouragement to this year’s candidates. The candidates for FTA Scarecrow were Tom Fribley and Dave VanLue. Tom and Dave were judged on impromptu questions and talent. By the decision of the judges, Dave VanLue was crowned FTA Scarecrow by Nancy Crowl. Tom Fribley was named first runnerup. Vying for the title of Miss Fall. Dress-Down 1971 were Peg Doty. Golden Kuhn, Susi Baker, Rhonda Lawson, and Penny Wiggs. These girls were judged on degree of destitution and answers to “crazy” questions. Nancy crowned Rhonda Lawson as 1971 Fall Dress-Down queen and named Golden Kuhn as first runner-up. The next meeting of the FTA will be a Rap Session with the Teachers on November 16. Chain O Lakes Club Meets In Rhodes Home By JERRY RHODES The Chain O Lakes 4-H club was entertained by Janet Rhodes. The vice-president, Jeff Rhodes, conducted the meeting.

Costs — (continued from page 1) who said it isn’t right to equate school building costs with hotel building costs. He added that good construction in an original building would save on maintenance costs for years to come. Board Position Board president Helvey was the main spokesman for the board’s positon, stating judgments had to be made along the line, weighing costs against future maintenance costs. He admitted perhaps there have been mistakes but that the ultimate responsibility rests with the school board, and that they would meet this test at the polls when the time came. Mr. Carter said the taxpayers should vent their opposition to tax increases on their state legislators and not on the school board, whereupon Mr. Beemer said if costs can’t be controlled at a local level, the individual taxpayer is ineffective on a state level. Mr. Helvey said the board is constantly making a teaching of public opinion and finds the public is satisfied with what the school board is doing. Also present besides those mentioned was Joe Gray. Contracts were signed with Hillman’s Equipment, Inc., fen* food services equipment in the high school and North Webster school, and with Lee School Supply Co., Inc., for science equipment for the North Webster school. All board members except Mr. Helvey said they planned to attend the Region II meeting of the Indiana School Board Assn, at South Bend Nov. 30. Mr. Van Ryn, representing the school’s architectural firm, read order changes in the Milford. North Webster and Syracuse school additions, showing in some instances deductions from the original contracts. Board member Crow questioned the lack of progress at the North Webster school and was told by Mr. Van Ryn that glazed tile and structural steel had failed to arrive on the job, holding up progress. Bids were opened from nine firms on audio visual and music department items, all to be reviewed at the board meeting next Tuesday Metcalf Letter Bill Metcalf of North Webster said he wished to read a letter before the board. He said he was speaking for a number of corporation residents, but that the group was informal and without any organization.

Four Injured At 6-13 Junction A car-truck collision at the intersection of U.S. 6 and Indiana 13 north of Syracuse at 6:48 a.m. Tuesday injured four migrant workers and a mother and child. Domingo Rocha, 23, of Donna, Tex., driver of a 1963 Chevrolet purchased at Vecanna, Mich., on October 30, was westbound on U.S. 6 and stopped for a yellow flasher signal light before attempting a left turn to the south on Indiana 13 toward Syracuse. The Rocha vehicle was hit by a five-ton U.S. Army barge transport truck driven by Raymond Stotler, 40, of South Bend who was eastbound on U.S. 6 at the time, traveling from South Bend to make delivery at Greencastle, Pa. Rocha told investigating officers he thought the oncoming truck would stop for the yellow flasher and Stotler reported he could not stop in time to avoid the collision. Rocha sustained a deep laceration to the head and other multiple abrasions and lacerations. His wife, Santos, 20, received possible internal injuries and fractures in addition to shock. A daughter, Marivea, 3, received minor injuries. Passengers, Juan Maldores, 25, Manistee, Mich., sustained a concussion, lacerations and deep shock; Samuel Brito, 25, Mainstee, concussion, multiple facial lacerations and abrasions and a laceration to the ear. Another passenger, Manual Arando, 17, Manistee, was in deep shock and received a concussion. The truck driver was not injured. All the injured, enroute to Tipton and Lakeworth, Fla., were taken to Goshen hospital for treatment. Two dogs found in the trunk of the car were turned over to the Humane Society in Elkhart county until the injured were released from the hospital. Following the collision, witnessed by Syracuse resident Patricia Hall, the truck shoved the car 17-feet against the front of the Hall auto. The high bumper on the truck caved in the upper right side of the Rocha vehicle which was demolished and minor damage reported to the Hall car. Elkhart county police investigated the mishap.
