Turtle" Bay Trailer Court. Syracuse, both attend Wawasee High School They are both seniors The couple has been married for five months "We didn't want to wait until after graduation so we got married Some are still not ready for the responsibilities of marriage It just depends on the Z people, "said Sherri Darrell adds. “We were ready for it because we were pretty well set too We didn t just jump into it. we already had a house trailer and truck We started saving money while we were dating too. So we really planned ahead " The Shepherds chose the Lakeland School Corporation as the area to complete their education because of Wawasee High School's staff attitudes toward the students “The teachers here have a better attitude towards their students than the previous area high school I attended Wawasee treats the students like responsible people The staff is also sociable and doesn't have, the attitude they are there in school to babysit," Darrell explains Jl SNYDER For graduating senior Julie Walton’ Snyder, r 5 Syracuse, married life is about the same as being single One difference is that Julies husband left for Marine’s basic training in September Since that time, she looks forward to moving with him after completing school “I saw him during Thanksgiving break and Christmas After we got married last June we started out at my parents house since we knew he would be leaving in September,” Julie says Julie does not have a job. but she now has more household chores than before She promised her parents she would finish school after marriage “His mother doesn't like the idea of us being married She

tried to discourage us because she thought he should go through basics before getting married My parents really like him." Julie thoughtfully explains She continues, “My husband wanted me to finish school before joining him I would have even if he would have said no. He even wants me to get at least B’s Before I didn’t care about my grades but now I'm pushing myself and really listening in Class ” ki janet McKinstry Janet (Preston) McKinstry, Syracuse, is also a senior at Wawasee High School She is married and has two children in gradeschool Janet quit school eight years ago to get married and Has now returned to school to receive her high school diploma "I don’t think I’d do things same way if I had them to do over again I would have finished high school injhe first place It’s a lot harder to go back, adjust to studying and go home and take care of the kids, your husband and the housework, explains Janet She enjoys being back at school Janet also tells that her husband and children are quite proud that she’s completing her high school education c- "1 feel a little bit different, it’s hard to adjust when the students are younger than lam Iwe made a lot of friends and they’ve accepted me now," Janet says. She continues, “It's a little harder on me than if I was single I accept my responsibility and take.it as it comes and I get done what I have to. Janet further explains that many students have teased her since she first returned to school in August although the problems are now resolved because she has learned to handle the criticism “It’s never too late to go back to school For this reason I’m at school I’m not there for the students, but for me and that’s what’s kept me going." she tells Unlike Janet and Julie, the Shepherds both have jobs He works at a local gas station as a night manager and she is a craft instructor “Many teachers realize that
school is not longer our first priority. Social studies teacher Ron Corson is helping us so • school is not our last priority He gives us the same work but he makes us feel wanted in the classroom and gives us the exception when we sometimes have problems getting our work done. " says Sherri " Married students are not given special guidelines, but the ad-. ministration lets us stay after school to use the library or whatever we need to.” explains Julie All of the present married students attending Wawasee High School take morning classes only. This provides the special students with courses needed for graduation and time for their own needs. “We aren't any different from the single students except we have more responsibilities. Some friends now come to us for advise, but we do the same things as before with our married and single friends Some forget though that we are the same people," confesses Darrell. Four of the five students believe they are now getting more from their education and are not "goofing off as much as before They feel more mature and handle their personal difficulties with increasing ease “Parental pressure can make the difference on a student marrying At first my parents weren’t for it but then they saw that it was going to happen anyway. Besides, to us our schooling is much more valuable now,” Darrell concluded as he left the mobile home to speak with the man delivering their home heating fuel Snow-ems The following "Snow-ems were written by members of Martha Sue Pittman’s second grade class at the Milford Elementary’ School Since they are fitting to the weather in the area at this time they follow: Snow is fun Because we slide on hills Because we ice fish Because it’s thrills. — Joe Harwood I can play in the snow.
