Adult education program is underway at Wawasee

School doors are opening once more for many Americans for whom they have been closed for many years with little hope of ever opening again. To return to the classroom has been a near impossibility for most due to work schedules, family responsibilities and a fear of being out of place with younger students. The Wawasee Area Vocational Center has opened its doors to the community it serves. The thrill of returning to the classroom is contagious for those who are using the opportunity. However, many of the constituents are not aware of the opportunities available to them, or of the many persons who share their lot. The 1970 census has given a clearer picture of the need for basic education in the community. The area which Wawasee Area Vocational Center serves is parts of Elkhart, Kosciusko and Noble counties. The number of adults beyond 25 years of age without a high school education is great in this area. In 1970 Elkhart county had 16,833 persons with an eighth grade education or less and an additional 18,851 persons who did not complete high school. Kosciusko county had 6,157 with an eighth grade education or less and 3,356 who did not finish high school. While the numbers seem high, they also show a great opportunity to serve the people. Both Wawasee and Fairfield high schools now have classes in high school equivalency. Some 15 are enrolled at Wawasee with five enrolled at Fairfield An adult basic education class awaits several more persons to join it in order to begin. Classrooms are available, instructors are ready and a number of students are entering a new stage in education. Many persons needing these classes need someone to enJohn Fisher at Anderson John Robert Fisher. Jr., freshman majoring in business administration. is among a record 1,924 students enrolled for the fall semester at Anderson college, sponsored by the Church of God.
