Pooh Bear trains every day
By JOSETTE GLON Pooh Bear can sit and stay. Pooh Bear can come on recall. Pooh Bear can stand for examination. Pooh Bear is a trained. Old English Sheepdog owned by 17-year-old Angie Augsburger of Syracuse. Augsburger, who plqns to become a professional groomer and trainer, must train Pooh Bear at least once a day. Every day she takes Pooh Bear out in a field in back of her home and goes through each step. The only time Pooh Bear is rewarded is when she does something well. Her only rewards are “Good dog” and a pat on the head. She’s never given food for her good work. At the age of 2‘ 2 Pooh Bear can already do all the things mentioned above plus a whole lot more. She can heel, lie down and stay, and is now learning to retrieve, According to Angie, all of these except retrieving are required in Novice-A. Novice-A is a certain class in a Fun Match or dog show. Besides Novice-A there is a Sub-Novice, Novice-B, Graduate-Novice, * Utility, and Brace class. Each one becomes harder with more requirements as the dog moves up from Sub-Novice to Utilitv. Brace

is a class for two trained dogs who must do everything together. Pooh Bear, who is now in Novice-A, plans to move up to Novice-B next year. The past two years, Angie says, she has been well rewarded for all her training. In her first year in the County Fair competition Pooh Bear was Grand Champion in Sub-Novice and Grand Champion Reserve overall. This year she proved herself even better by earning claimed Grand Champion in Novice-A and Grand Champion overall. During the Novice-A competition in obedience, Pooh Bear must do all the standard requirements. Two of these take much time dnd patience. One is '‘long down”. Here Pooh Bear must lie down and stay for three full minutes. The other is “long stay”. In this one Pooh Bear must sit. and stay for one minute. Another important aspect of the dog show is the grooming. Pooh Bear must be clean, trimmed, and clipped with nothing out of place. The judges are picky and as Augsburger put it. “everything has to be perfect .” Pooh Bear’s next Fun Match will take place October 14. 1979. at Hamlet, Indiana. Pooh Bear and Augsburger both agree that they plan to get a first.
Everything you n 9 ver wanted to know about writing a research paper
By SUSAN FREEMAN There are many different methods for writing a research paper. No one set of rules can work for everybody, but here are a few helpful hints for anybody who has ever or will ever have to suffer through this horrible ordeal: STEP NO. 1 — This step is perhaps the most important. You must come up with a topic .One of the best ways to achieve this is to turn up your stereo full blast and wait for the inspiration to hit you. This method, impractical though it may seem, beats digging through books and magazines in your library. STEP NO. 2 — Hopefully by now you should have been inspired. If not. return to step No. 1. If you have your topic you must begin building your strength for the tough work yet ahead of you Raiding the refrigerator has been known to do wonders. STEP NO. 3 — Take a break You’ve been working awfully hard. STEP NO. 4 — Now it would probably be a good idea to get some research materials such as some magazines or books. If you can’t find any information on your topic, return to step no. 1. STEP NO. 5 — Depending on how much time you have left you can either a) take another break orb) get to work STEP NO. 6 — If you’ve decided to get to work, you must first find a nice clean working area. If you don't have a nice clean working area, grab the vacuum and dust cloth and get to work. STEP NO. 7 — After you've cleaned take a break You're Music department begins candy sales By LINDA PERRY The Wawasee High School music department began its annual candy sale on October 2.

But when it comes to eating no one does it better than SEAN SHANAHAN, who said he’d eat half the time and ski the other half, while JANUA WOLFE said she’d "just goof around.” MIKE BRIAN, sophomore, would do all his homework, or just forget it all and sleep. MARY MEYERS said she’d want to be with friends or watch Gilligans Island. How would you spend your extra hour? Would you be like most everybody else and sleep or would you rather eat or watch Gilligans Island, or would you like JANUA, just goof around?

he has seen, the corps style is the most popular in the good high school bands in our area. Although the new style contains some difficult maneuvers, most moves are rather easy. Mr. Blackwell feels confident that the band will get the hang of it in time. Senior band member Kent Lawson says of the new style, “I like it, it's different and the routines are a little tougher, but the show looks better in the end. With the new style of marching. Mr. Blackwell got the flag girls new uniforms and new flags. A new addition to the band is the rifle corps. This consists of four girls doing twirls and maneuvers with rifles. As the new style of marching progresses and gets better, Mr. Blackwell hopes to take his band to a marching contest. He planned to go this year, but he felt that the band was not quite ready. He is convinced that his band will work hard this year and next year and he hopes to get an invitation to play at a place such as Six Flags over Mid America.

By LYNN HATHAWAY There have been no fan buses for the Wawasee High School home football games this year. This has posed as a problem for some students and their parents. The decision was made by Mr. Don Arnold, superintendent of the Lakeland School Corporation. “There are two reasons for the change.” he said. “Children that ride the bus don’t stay sitting in the stands after they get there. It's basically a discipline problem of junior high students. ” Mr. Arnold went on to say that parents are using the football games as a babysitter According to Mr. Arnold, the decision was made in hope that by slopping the kids’ source of transportation it would eliminate some of this problem. The second reason for the change was the shortage. Mr. Arnold explained that the corporation is only alotted so much gas. “Still, the main reason for the change was discipline.” said Mr. Arnold. Mr. Arnold related that he wasn't sure w hether there will be a bus for home basketball games. "We have more control over the kids then We ll just have to wait and see.”

Fraternities: Good or bad By S ANDY KORTENBER According to Webster's New World Dictionary the definition of fraternity is. the state or quality of being a brother, , joined together by common interests for fellowship One can become a frat brother through a series of interviews. meeting certain qualifications and surviving the initiation tests. We more commonly associate fraternity life with the short lived television series Delta House and Brothers and Sisters Although these shows portray life in a fraternity as being chaotic and somewhat funloving, fraternities have also been known to be more serious They accomplish this by helping to build up leadership and brotherhood in young college students. At the fraternities that have accepted women (which are few and far between) students are learning about coeducational lifestyles Several students at Zeta Psi fraternity at Bowdain College have expressed highly positive viewpoints on this situation, because they say it gives them experience for married life. . However, there is also a totally different light shed on this subject That is one of rowdy and unsavory behavior. initiation ceremonies, and membership restrictions such as. race, color, and creed. Activities such as these were discovered last year at Louisiana State University during an initiation ceremony in which one student was killed, and five others'-injured on a dark rural highway by an oncoming car. The casualties were among 19 pledges taking part in the initiation rite according to U.S News and World Report There are good points and bad points in dealing with fraternities. Fraternal groups provide housing, friendship. ■ and a pleasant social life during the college years. But as mentioned by William H. Haight, publisher of the National On-Campus Report, stepping beyond the bounds of decency and common sense instigates trouble MONEY STOLEN Deb Buck, Milford, reported to police that $l4O was stolen from her purse while it was in her apartment. She lives at 1244 S. Main, Milford.
