We, at the library, were pleasantly surprised last week, when Mrs. Eldon Beer and daughter Tammy loaned us a beautiful arrangement of handcraft, depicting the story of “The Sleeping Beauty.” It is on display in the children’s room and has to be seen to be appreciated. All characters, animals and scenery are hand-made and the castle is made from Clorox bottles, complete in every detail. While visiting the children’s room, look over the eggs on the egg-tree and decide to decorate (Mie for display. Story hour will be Saturday, April 7, at 2 o’clock.

Mrs. Robert Cockburn named outstanding elementary teacher

Mrs. Robert (Susan) Cockburn of r 1 Milford has been informed that she has been nominated by her principal, John W. Secor, to participate in the Outstanding Elementary Teachers of America awards program. Mrs. Cockbum is one of two educators from the Millersburg elementary school selected for this national honor. She is now being considered, Milford coed cops three honors GREENCASTLE — Kristen Diana Phend of Milford won three major awards at DePauw university’s annual senior women’s award banquet on the Greencastle campus March 28. The 1969 Wawasee high school graduate was named the Outstanding Senior Woman by two different academic departments and was also cited by Alpha Lambda Delta scholastic society. Miss Phend was named cowinner of the outstanding senior woman award in the department of botany and bacteriology and she was named the sole winner of the same award by the Spanish faculty in the department of romance languages. Both awards were determined by vote of the departments’ faculties. The decisions were based on the recipient’s academic achievement within the department, contributions to and cooperation in the department, and overall intellectual promise. The Alpha Lambda Delta scholarship certificate earned by Miss Phend was among only 14 given to outstanding senior women who have maintained a four-year cumulative grade average at DePauw of 3.50 or better on a 4.00 (A) grading scale. Miss Phend, who recently was elected to Phi Beta Kappa scholastic society, has studied in Spain during her DePauw summers. She plans to teach at the secondary or college level. A member of Alpha Omicron Pi social sorority, she is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Parker Phend, 244 N. Main, Milford. 6th grade bees spelled horror By ANN RUDY Copley News Service Reading about the kid who won the 45th annual National Spelling Bee made me think of myself at age 11. When asked how soon he planned to resume studying spelling, he replied jubilantly, “Never!” I was a lot like that kid, only I couldn’t spell. Still can’t. And I attribute this lamenta-

The board of advisors is currently selecting the five top elementary teachers participating in the 1973 program, who have significantly contributed to the field of elementary education. The schools represented by these five winners will each be awarded an ble fact to the horror of sixth grade spelling bees which I was forced to undergo. Happily, my own children tell me they never have spelling bees in school. They have word lists and are allowed to struggle with i before e except after c on the privacy of their own papers. But my sixth grade teacher, a giant of a man named Mr. Potts, used to divide our class in half and stand us on either side of the room while he paced before his desk and shot words at us. He would start with simple words such as “flag” and “desk” and there would be lots of fast, loud replies. It was good to be right. But then the words would get harder, and the disgrace of being “first one down” loomed. It was usually me. It takes a lot of courage for a skinny 11-year-old to walk between the rows of empty desks and sit down as if she didn’t care. And I can tell you I thought of many hideous ways of doing away with Mr. Potts as I sat there seemingly contem-

Mrs. Cockbum will also receive an award certificate, inscribed with her name, from the national organization. plating my ink well. Then he decided to reverse the process: those who spelled the word right got to sit down. And the two poor kids left standing could go on misspelling words as long as Mr. Pott’s breath held out. Not until one of them got a word right — eight-syllable jobs by now — could the last kid be declared the loser and fall gratefully into his seat. It was usually me. So, like that kid who won the national spelling bee, I don’t ever intend to study spelling any more. It reminds me too much of Mr. Potts.
