'I Am A?' Is Theme For 7th Graders At Milford

“I am a?” is the^ title of the themes written recently by members of the 7-A language arts classes at Milford junior high school. A few of the themes have been submit ted for publication by Mrs. Dorothy Williams, teacher of the class. They follow: 'I Am A?* By Laura Tucker I live in the ground. My home comes above the ground a little bit. I come out of my home to look for food. Some of my friends get in die way of giants, and they get crushed. Giants admire our strength. Yet some giants put my friends in machines and chocolate coat them till they’re dead. I’ve got some pretty dumb friends. You better believe it! I’m too smart; a giant will never catch me. Hey wait! You put me down! Put me down, you giant! (ant) *1 Am A* By Kathy Harwood My twin brother and I sleep in a dark closet. The closet has a lot of things in it. There are clothes hanging above my head. The closet is so small that we get cramped together. In the morning we are awakened by a little boy. He picks us up and puts us on. Sometimes he pulls the strings too tight, and that really hurts. The little boy runs and plays all day with us. Then at night he puts

Mrs. Robinson Goes To Haiti Mrs. Maxine J. Robinson, a Wawasee high school counselor, will be a member of a seminar in which a whirlwind experience in intercultural studies will take in a five-day field seminar in Haiti on October 11-15. The counselors will visit the unit of 18 Goshen college students currently in Port-au-Prince, the capital of Haiti, and observe the seven-week study program they take part in. The counselors will also visit some of the places where the students go during a second seven-week period of the trimester. In their field work the students get involved with the country’s efforts to ease the scarcity of food and improve the health care, education, and economic welfare of its people. The students, in Haiti since September 16, are in the 14-week study-service trimester, offered as part of Goshen college’s general education program, regardless of degree or major sought. Will Arrive October 11 After arriving in Haiti by air Wednesday afternoon, Oct. 11, the counselors will visit the faculty leaders, Prof, and Mrs. William R. Miller. Although Miller’s title is assistant professor of physical science, he oversees the entire study and field experience program in Haiti. On Thursday, the group will attend the Haitian American Institute where students have French classes and lectures on Haiti’s culture, geography, history, social practices, and such religious traditions as voodoo. They will also visit the Issa Gallery, set up to display art by peasant painters. Among the sites where students do their unsalaried field work that the group will visit are St. Trinity School for youngsters from low-income homes and Grace Children’s Hospital for youngsters with active tuberculosis, both in Port-au-Prince, and Hospital Albert Schweitzer, 70 miles north of the capital in the hinterlands, and the community development programs at Fermathe, 17 miles from Port-au-Prince in the mountains. Prof. Arlin Hunsberger, director of international education at Goshen college, and Mrs. Hunsberger will be the leaders of the group. The Hunsbergers, who were in Haiti for three years in the early 1960’s in protestant relief work, have led two SST groups in the country. Will Visit With Students Hunsberger said the group will have time to walk with students, visit homes where the students live and eat with their families, meet with Haitian educators,

us back in our place. What am I? (shoes) ‘I Am A...’ By Shelley Dahlstrom People need me very much. I am used often, and I contribute to measurements. Students have to use me in school. I am proud when I am needed. Sometimes people slam me on their desks, and that hurts. They often kill my relatives doing that. I get sad. What am I? (ruler) ‘I Am A?’ By Lydia Tucker Hi! I bet I’m your mother’s most useful friend. I can go forward and backward. I have only one eye. I sing while I work. Singer may be what you call me. Nothing can get past me while I am working without getting a needle full of my stringy injection. (sewing machine) TAmAn?’ By Phil Stichter I sit around on a desk, watching the long hours slip by. The room is dark, with ghostly shadows made by the moon shining brightly through the window. My hands slowly move, and finally the first light of dawn appears over the horizon. My master snores on uninterrupted until I go off. I ring rigorously and the man reaches over and shuts me off. (alarm clock).

take part in a Sunday folk worship service with .Haitian peasants, and do some shopping and sightseeing on their own. The trip is intended to help the counselors interpret the value of intercultural experiences for their prospective college students and be ready to advise them whether they can benefit from studying overseas. Goshen college launched the study-service trimester in 1968. Other countries hosting student units have been Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, British Honduras, Republic of Korea, Germany, Jamaica, and Gaudeloupe. Students receive a trimester of college credit for successful completion of the trimester. One thousand forty-six students have taken part in the trimester overseas since its beginning.
