Tony Clouse, Dick Roose help set educational objectives
By BEN SMITH Staff Writer : . I Amid a plethora of articles, television shows and commission reports calling for the revamping of the public school system in the U.S., Milford Junior High School social studies teachers Tony Clouse and Dick Roose are already engaged in a curriculum overhaul along with other teachers and administrators across the state. Clouse has been a teacher for 23 years, nine of them spent at Wawasee High School and six at Milford A Noble County native, he graduated from Albion High School before it became part of the Central Noble School Corporation Roose has 15 years racked up in the teaching profession Likewise an area native, he graduated from North Webster High School. Both agree their 38 years of combined teaching experience at Lakeland has been a beneficial, stabilizing influence for not only Milford Junior High, but for Lakeland Corporation in general. For some time now, Clouse and Roose have been attending frequent departmental meetings in order to not only review curriculum matters but, in addition, to help set educational objectives and goals far different than those of a generation ago. Using a host of teaching aids such as video tape, film and filmstrips, Clouse, Roose and their colleagues seek to instill not only book learning in their charges, but a sense of self-worth and motivation as well. "As a result of this vertical planning,' we hope better students will result in a few years," says Clouse

Roose, in addition to teaching sixth grade social studies, is also the school’s guidence instructor. Where social studies leaves off and guidence begins these days, he can't say. “We hope to hone decision-making skills, study skills and social skills and it’s a very very different situation from when Tony and I were in high school," notes Roose. The availability of video tape means students’ oral reports and other classroom presentations can be recorded, then analyzed, he adds. Both teachers believe today’s youngsters are far more knowledgeable than a generation ago As to whether students’ learn-

ing skills are better than their parents’ were, “I believe they are,” Roose notes. “There are so many more ways to know what’s going on in the world.” Clouse worries, however, about young people’s morals, citing the availability of cable television with its R-rated fare. “There is a lot of smut being shown,” notes Clouse. For his part, Roose feels that certain shows on cable will have a far-reaching effect on the students’ moral behavior in the future. “Some of them come in talking about what they have seen at home on (cable) TV and it's rather shocking,” he says? “Cable TV most likely will be to the detriment of the students.”

TOUR FLORIDA? — Many students went to Florida over spring break, but Mrs. Jerri Mahnensmith’s third graders went to Florida a little early. The students studied the history and important facts about the Sunshine State. Miss Shari Miller, the student teacher from Ball State University, set up a display. The display included shells, coconuts and even real beach sand. This set the stage for an informative and enjoyable trip to this warm southern state. Pictured by the display are, left to right, Tami Feaster. Jason Halsey and Georgi Kiser.
New format for WHS prom
Wawasee’s High School prom, scheduled for April 28, has received much attention from faculty and concerned parents. Because of the overwhelming interest, students will follow a different format this year. The Senior prom begins officially at 9 p.m., and runs through 12 midnight. New this year though is the documentation of arrival and departure times of the students. Students will be checked in when arriving and their depature time will be noted. Ron Corson, faculty representative of the Student Council, noted that students will be allowed to come and go as they please. But the minute they leave, they will not be readmitted to the prom. This format has also been adopted for the post prom. The post prom follows the prom. It will be held in the new gym, beginning at 1 a.m. and continuing until 6 a.m. During the five-hour program, music will be provided by a band beginning at 1 a.m. and lasting until 1:45. A hyp-
YOU have the POWER to SAVE lives! The prom is meant for fun and celebrating. Enjoy all the parties, before and after, but always keep in mind drinking and driving are a deadly combination . . . one that can turn a fun time into a disaster. Saying no can mean the difference between life and death. The effects of even just one drink can become a threat. It's not necessary to prove anything ... or say “it won't happen to me." Just remember — Keep A Friend Alive DON'T let a FRIEND drive DRUNK!
notist act will follow from 1:45 to 2:45 and the band will return from 2:45 to 3:30. A two-hour movie will be shown in the upper area of the new gym beginning at 3 a.m. Beginning at 3:30 a.m. students from the senior class will entertain with disc jockey entertainment in the new gym area. This activity continue until 4:15. At that the band will come back for one more performance at 4:15 and lasting until 5 a.m. Wrapping up the lengthy morning of activities will be a breakfast served in the commons area from 5 to 6.

Also, cards, arm wrestling, videos and other activities will take place difring this time. Snacks and soft drinks will be provided during the morning hours.

It released a catalogue of modern cruelty and said the problem warranted the same worldwide revulsion aroused by Nazi extermination camps of World War 11.
