The mice are now living, and being cared for. in a tall plastic wastebasket As soon as the snow melts, the tiny rodents will be put out in the compost pile where they should manage very well. The kind-hearted lady wanted to know if this reporter's cat would catch the mice. The answer is. probably not. The only time the cat bothers with a mouse is when she has been so rotten she realizes she may have gone too far and feels in danger oft losing her happy home. Then she will sometimes hunt up a mouse just to prove she is still needed. After 12 years, she pretty well knows how to stop just short of going “too far.” —o— A SPRING fashion show is being planned for March 30 by Retire Yjk e To The $ Clean Life 5 § Lake Estates g • Mobile Home * z Villages <7 £ Sales, Inc. o ?

Many of the senior students are planning and hoping to attend further schooling beyond their high school education. Many of these students are wondering if the dollars for financial aid will be there. The federal grants in aid as well as the state grants have been cut for the 1982-83 school year. Colleges will also be short of funds for work study programs, scholarships, and grants. Several local service clubs, sororities, and community organizations have in the past, given scholarships to graduating seniors for their freshman year of college. If there are any organizations considering this, they should call Mrs. Curtis at the high school She will be glad to attend a meeting or meet with officers to answer any questions. Any scholarships offered would have to have applications submitted in March and April to be able to announce recipients at Honors Day on May 21.1982.
