Roberts’ class and Brandi Doll represented Mr. Bollman’s classroom. As a reward for their efforts, the children enjoyed having their faces painted as a clown by Mrs. Donnie Butts, owner of the Log Cabins Resort of North Webster Other boys and girls in the third grade were thrilled with their tattoes that were painted on each student’s faces. Other special interests in our circus unit was the learning about famous circus clowns. Outstanding among these clowns were Felix Adler with his cute little pig act: Emmett Kelly, the sad faced tramp clown, who tries to sweep up the splash of light made by a big spotlight. Also.

Joseph Grimaldi, the master of all clowns. Whether it is the roustabout, the joeys, advance men, the animal and human performers, there is nothing that brings more smiles on the face of a thifd grader, than a trip to the circus.

An investment in Indiana's future

The importance of vocational education in the public school system received a warm embrace and genuine encouragement from Richard Wysong in a talk he made Monday night before the Milford Lions Club. He called vocational training “an investment in Indiana's future,’’ and spoke of the programs now in effect at Wawasee High School. Wysong is vocational director for Wawasee, Fairfield and West \ Noble High Schools. He said money spent on vocational education receives a fast turn around, inasmuch as it trains people for job skills that return them to work as taxpayers. And he spoke of the high percentage of vocational graduates who were able to enter the job market when they have a marketable skill. “There’s no better time for Indiana to provide job skills for business, industry and agriculture,” he said. Wysong said a college degree is still the “American dream,” but he was not convinced it is everything. In all too many cases it fails to provide a graduate with a skill to enter the job market, he noted. He said he felt a college degree as such is often oversold. He spoke at length on five points: 1. Career education and exploration. 2. Work skills. 3. Employability skills. 4. Advanced training (adult education), and, 5. Back to basics. He said Wawasee High School has been very successful with its

adult education program, noting .they have about 100 lay people serving on advisory committees to make these programs practical. * Wysong has had broad experience in the vocational training programs of several schools, notably South Bend and Ivy Tech. With this background he said he found the entire school system'at Lakeland “a super system.” He said too many people do not have the perspective he has to make this judgment. Hearing Screening Milford Lions are joining the Leesburg and Oswego Lions Clubs to hold a hearing screening at 7:30 p.m. Monday, March 19, at the Milford Elementary School. Exams will be given to pre-school children, Milford Lions Club president Bruce Lamb noted, and asked his club members to get behind the important program. More information will go out on this as the date approaches. ROTARY EXCHANGE STUDENT — Cathie Fox. Mudgee, New South Wales. Australia, is residing in Syracuse for one year and attending Wawasee High School as a Rotary Exchange Student and from Australia. She is currently staying at the home of Mr. and Mrs. William Cable, North Shore Dr., Syracuse. Miss Fox will be available to present programs on Mudgee and Australia. A letter, addressed by the Shire President of Mudgee, Jon C. Turner, was presented to Syracuse town board president Carl Myrick and read: It gives me great pleasure to introduce to you Miss Cathy Fox. Cathy will be a Rotary Exchange Student in your city for one year. She comes to you as an ambassadress from Australia and more especially as an ambassadress from Mudgee in New South Wales. Please accept our greetings and if you can afford Cathy some time at your meeting, she will tell you a little about Mudgee and Australia.

r I Jbmm| Bk* , PEN PALS — The children in Mrs. Wright’s second grade class at Syracuse are shown here writing to pen pals in Phoenix, Ariz. Through the Weekly Reader Writing Pals program the class was matched with a second grade class at Sunrise Elementary School. Mrs. Wright’s class has written about all kinds of things to Writing Pals in Arizona. The students have told their unseen friends that “the weather is cold here,’’ “we missed a day of school because of the snow,” and “1 got... for Christmas.” In return, the Arizona kids have told students about “warm weather” and "I saw Kitt (The car in television show Night Rider.) at Universal Studios over Thanksgiving vacation." Over the past five years Weekly Reader has matched more than two million children in this nationwide letter exchange with children of similar ages, but with different backgrounds;
