Swap Day — (Continued from page 12) even got two of them wrong, I quickly plunked out my pocket computer, and he frowned, “No computers,please.” I thought of hollering “foul” but thought better of it. I ducked out of that class for a few moments to visit a science class taught by my old friend Karl Keiper. “Drop around and bring your camera,” he invited, and I could see why. They were operating on the brains of baby pigs, a most unpalatable scene for me. There was Mary Elizabeth Fosbrink, wife of Dr. Fosbrink, doing her assignment like an old hand. This is not for me”, 1 told Mr. Keiper, and I scurried back to my basis math class, and hunkered down to a lesson on percentages, sans computer. I met Marguerite Hoerr in the hall, had my first opportunity'to congratulate her on being elected to the school board. Then I met Fran Schenkel, in class for her freshman son John. “Where’s Chris (the ABC sportscaster)? Why isn’t he here?” We quickly parted, each counting minutes until the bell rang for the next session. And Now Accounting Linda Hoy, attractive, able, competent, to the point, was our accounting instructor in room 216 at 1:17, and our last class of the day. All of us should know more about this subject, we thought.

In my own case, I have bookkeepers to keep my records straight, and while I’ve heard my wife speak of “double entries” for years, here I was doing a work sheet on double entry bookkeeping. “Double entry” sounds like something that might be a little illegal. Mrs. Hoy had us hurry through a work book and she told us the gist of the course, noting how important good bookkeeping is to the success or failure of any business; Mrs. Hoy said she has 90 good students in three sections. She said it’s her proud privilege to urge some of the better students to advance themselves to the point of seeking degrees as certified public accountants. We found her demanding, nononsense, setting high standards. We liked this. She said, "You wouldn’t want to hire a bookkeeper who received a grade of 60 in accounting, now would you?” In this class we saw sitting across the room Dean Cousins, a Jefferson township farmer where bookkeeping is important, surely, and Juanita Luttman, a teller in the Salem Bank and Trust Company in Goshen. Good bookkeeping has to be important in her job, too. The same could be said for others sitting there. HIT Again John must be a good student, we thought, for his course of study of the day included two HIT sessions. From 2:10 to 2:59 was
the second, and we were ready for it. By now we re feeling a little weary. Mike Neff was in charge and gave us forms to fill out, concerning the kind of day we had. Ours reported we had a good day and we recommended the Swap Day program continue. We couldn’t find much criticism, really, but came away with a new perspective of what school is all about at WHS. We drank another cup of coffee, our second for the day, with “Red” Long and Mick Williams, and we rehashed the day’s activities. We’ll bet the program will continue. Principal Henry Smith called us on Friday that 452 adults participated, just one more than a year ago. He said the program was begun in 1971 with 383 participating; in 1972 there were 492; 1973 , 461; 1974, 535 for a high; 1975, 507; and in 1976 there were 433. We dropped around principal Smith’s office and found him gleeful about the day’s success. He was talking to Robert Greenwood, minister of the Milford Christian Church. “We’re going to put him in ISS,” chortled Smith, and the minister threw his crew-cut head back in a hearty laugh. (Note: In case the reader missed the page 1 article in last week’s Mail-Journal by Leslie Whitman, ISS stands for In School Supervision and is for problem students.) When I heard the last bell, at about 3 p.m. I had everything back in the locker and was waiting in the Commons like any
other student. Finally, I crawled aboard Don Losee’s bus no. 16 and we headed for Milford in what seemed like a lighter load. We were amazed at how many students drove their own cars to school. We wanted the full treatment, thus the hack, oops, there we go again, we mean bus ride. “Impressions?” you ask. We found students chewing gun in class and found nothing wrong with it. In our day — class of 1935 — that was a no-no. We found more informality all around, particularly in dress. Couples holding ’hands; well, I guess that’s all right. At least no one seems to mind. Teaching is more sophisticated, we seemed to think, and instructors have more teaching aids like slide projectors at their command. That’s progress, we thought. What’s wrong with that? When I got off the bus at Milford, walked the block back to my office. I quickly had a gathering crowd around me. “How did you do?” asks Della, waiting formy pearls of wisdom now that I had been exposed to a day of erudition. “I got A’s in two things — lunch and recess." is all 1 could come up with. LAKELAND LOCALS Mr. and Mrs. James M. Wolf of Atwood entertained for supper Sunday evening, Nov. 19, in honor of their son, Joe A. W’olf’s birthday.

Barn lost in fire A barn fire resulting in a total loss at the Becky Braden residence on CR 50 in Elkhart County was reported to the Syracuse Fire Department at 2:46 a.m. on Wednesday. The Benton Township Fire Department had the blaze under control when Syracuse firemen arrived. Quick-witted During a study of the Revolutionary War battle of Saratoga, the class quickly learned that the battle was probably lost because General William Howe chose to remain in Philadelphia with his troops. When the teacher later asked the class to explain this major British defeat, an answer came from the back of the room: Lack of no Howe. ”

Jolly old Santa is being played by Dave Riding in the “Morning with Santa” activity scheduled for Saturday. Dec. 9. at 9:30 a.m. at Saint Andrew’s United Methodist Church of Syracuse. Proceeds from the annual Christmas event, sponsored by the Primary Mothers’ Club of Syracuse, will be used for community projects. State police issue holiday warnings
An epidemic of accidents on our highways has continued to spread across the nation. It has especially resulted in increased deaths and severe injuries during every major holiday period Last year there were 23 needless traffic fatalities on Indiana highways over the Thanksgiving holiday, and this year could be the same. Sam Burch, director of the Indiana Department of Traffic Safety, has projected that 20 people will die on our Indiana highways this Thanksgiving as the result of 15 separate accidents. Indiana state police superintendent John T. Shettle urges
motorists to comply with the 55 mph national maximum speed limit, and not to drive while under the influence of alcohol. Also, proper lane usage and passing techniques will aid in a safer 102-hour Thanksgiving holiday period. Indiana State Police, along with other state law enforcers, plan to increase their patrols and enforcement of speed violators for a safer Thanksgiving. But in the end, the speed limit will only reach maximum effectiveness if all motorists recognize its contribution to decreasing deaths and injuries on our highways during this holiday period.
