Wawasee is one of five schools to receive funds

Lakeland Community School Corporation curriculum coordinator John A. Naab made his report to the school board last night (Tuesday). He told the board Wawasee high school had been named as one of the five schools in the state of Indiana to receive ESEA Title 111 grants for the fiscal year 1976. Some 126 schools had applied Word of the grant was received by telephone from Donald Tribic, director, ESEA Title 111 of the state department of public instruction. Naab left for Indianapolis early this morning to confer on the budget for the project. It is 100 per cent funded by ESEA Title 111. The Wawasee based project is a laboratory study of the natural ecological succession of aquatic environments. A total of 66 Wawasee students have indicated plans to enroll in the program during the 1975-76 school year. To enroll, a student must have had two year’s previous study in the science field. The project combines the development of a water’s studies program (rivers, lakes, ponds, swamp areas, etc.) at the high school level with a career of vocational application of the skills learned. The Lakeland school corporation, being located on the continental divide with its many lakes and streams, offers an ideal setting for such a class. The first semester of the program will be spent in the classroom with some laboratory studies. Students will learn needed background information, specific laboratory techniques and equipment operations. The second semester will be spent in field study, utilizing the skills developed by actually monitoring lakes and streams in the area. The study involves the biological, chemical and physical aspects of aquatic environments. In simple terms, not just what but why. High school science department members involved in development of the project were William Kitson. Karl Keiper and Robert Kitson. along with Mr. Naab. Second Grant Naab also told board members of a second grant. This grant is a special one for auto mechanics instructional material and is to come from the state department of public instruction’s division of instructional media. Funding of this project was from the special grants section of Title II of the elementary and secondary education acts for the fiscal year 1975. It is for $9,675. The purpose of the project is to give an audio visual support program to the present auto mechanics program at Wawasee high school. Rationale for the establishment of the support program was student needs. (Continued on page 3)

School receives Freedom documents

Wawasee high school and its faculty and students are much richer today when it comes to an appreciation of our country’s history, through the presentation of 28 different plaques and documents that constitute the history of the United States. The presentation was made this morning in the school’s auditorium before about 600 members of the student body, or about two-thirds of the students. Exchange Club Project The project of bringing these precious documents into area schools is that of the Elkhart County Exchange club, and the actual presentation was made by Donald L.\ Schooley. Freedom Shrine chairman of that service club. Wawasee marks the sixth area high school to which the Freedom Shrine presentation has been made. ■■ Many of the documents are in their original hand, and cover a 322-year period, from the Mayflower Pact of 1060 to the Japanese surrender in 1945. Hear Robert Hepler Robert Hepler, well known Goshen attorney, public speaker, and Big Ten football coach, was principal speaker for the occasion. He pointed out the glorious history of America, stating that the risks taken by great men during the Revolutionary year to found our country were enor-

mous. He noted that America is a country of laws, not necessarily oppressive laws. “Laws,” Hepler said, “make it possible for a country’s citizens to fulfill their ambitions." The valued documents will be used for classroom study at the school and will be on display for public view - Dog complaints at Syracuse A number of dog complaints were received at the Syracuse police department again this past week and a crack down on dogs running loose in the town is being made. Dog owners are reminded there is a town ordinance regarding dogs being confined to premises of the owner or on a leash. Reports oil in creek waters Mrs. Floyd Reed of North street.
