Z ByCHARLESHAFFNER Syracuse Jr. High School Principal The last few weeks of school at Syracuse Junior High are filled with exciting activities. As the school year draws to a close, students experierfce the enjoyment of several activities to crown their work over the past school year The last Friday in April the sixth grade students journeyed to enjoy Indianapolis Children’s Museum. They also enjoyed touring the state capitol building where several of them had been pages during the legislative sesi sion. The trip, organized by art teacher Denise Garner, serves as a summary of their work in art. She also provides extra monthly art activities with her "Creative Arts Club to instill an appreciation of the many different ways art enriches our lives. The seventh grade students learned by traveling to Chicago on the first Saturday in May to tour the Field Museum and Shedd Aquarium. Teacher Mary Lou Dixon organized the trip as a chance for students to see many things from the periods of history they had studied during the year. Mrs Dixon also arranged for the eighth grade students to visit Conner Prairie Pioneer Settlement at Noblesville. The students will see how the people they have studied in American history actiially lived The students will sit though a session in a one room school, watch various tradesman at work, and have their questions answered with the language and

information of the 1800 s. Mrs. Dixon’s eighth grade students are also busy putting the finishing touches on this year’s copy of the school yearbook. During the past two years, her students have earned top honors in the statewide yearbook contest. This year’s edition will be a complete review of all students and their school year. The eighth graders look forward to the presentation of awards. During the last week of school, the top academic students will be recognized before the en- , tire student body. Athletic awards will also be presented to all who have participated as well as those who have maintained outstanding grades while participating in athletics. The eighth graders will also receive their freshman schedules. Counselor Galen Hershberger worked with each eighth grader to organize the classes which they needed to begin their chosen studies at Wawasee High School. All incoming freshman from all three junior highs will be invited to a night at Wawasee to get to know each other and the school. Parents have planned for over a month on the activities which will make the evening an exciting welcome to Wawasee for the students and their parents. Each school year is filled with opportunity for the students. Dedicated Teachers, interested parents, and young people striving to learn more about themselves and the future are a winning combination.
