■ fl 3 TELLS HIS STORY — Paul Clark, 24, Webster, a recovering drug addict, talked to North Webster fifth grade students about his experience with drugs since he was 12 years old. Clark is a former Wawasee High School and North Webster Elementary and Junior High student. Clark related to the students how he almost lost his life twice from drug overdose, wrecked five vehicles including a head-on collision with a semi, hurt friends, lost money, his friends and his family along with how 12 years of his life is gone and cannot be relived. He told of how he started using alcohol, pot and speed and over a period of years then graduated to cocaine and LSD or acid. He commented how in just one month he became addicted to cocaine and his habit went from SIOO a week to $1,400 a week in a matter of a month. He told of how an old friend, who was like a brother to him helped him receive help and begin the long road to recovery. Clark told how he would feel during withdrawals and how the last time was the scardest he has ever been in his life. “Drugs are something I wouldn’t wish my worst enemy, to go through what I went through the last few years.” He also related what he saw while in the rehabilitation center at Parkview Hospital, Fort Wayne. He stressed there was no way he could tell the students what he went through or the impact it had on him, adding he will be a di ig addict for the rest of his life and there is no such thing as a rehabilitated addict. “I’m not up here telling you this to' scare you ... but if just by chance you won’t want to try it, not even the first time.” (Photo by Deb Patterson)

Enrichment reading group from Milford visits Chicago

By TIM YEAGER Teacher, Enrichment Reading There were 12 members of the enrichment reading group at Milford Elementary School who participated in a weekend trip, dubbed the Chicago Excursion, Saturday, April 27, and Sunday, April 28. The enrichment group, composed of fifth graders, represents the top level of reading achievement in the sequential reading program now used at the Milford school., During the second half of this school year, the students have been completing a series of research projects culminating in oral and written reports tracing man’s history and art from 30,000 BC to the present. To successfully complete each project assignment, students must identify questions to be answered, use research skills in the school libraries to find information, read the material found, find the main ideas of the material presented, comprehend the information, and write the information needed to answer the questions that have been identified. Quality craftsmanship is also stressed as the students apply what they have learned in earlier reading levels. The Chicago Excursion is a natural extension of the classroom experience. Conducted on a weekend, its purpose is two-fold. Students are to feel the urban experience, a goal to

Wawasee students to be job hunting

Wawasee High School continues to offer job counseling and job placement to area students. In the months ahead some of Wawasee’s applicants will be job hunting. Even though some of them do not have work experience, the high school hopes that area businesses will still consider them for interviews as the students are looking forward to their first real work experience. Employers are urged by the high school to take time from a

which our second largest city lends itself well. The second objective is that students have an opportunity to examine first hand some of the artifacts of man’s history. An itinerary was planned which would satisfy both of these considerations. The students left Milford early Saturday morning. Their first stop was the Field Museum of Natural History where they examined the contents of the Egyptian and Roman rooms in some detail. After a sack lunch on the grounds of Soldiers Field, the group went to the Art Institute on Michigan Avenue a few blocks away. For an hour they were taken through the galleries by a i museum guide discussing particular works along the theme, “Let There Be Light.” After the gallery walk, Sara Robbins, art , teacher and parent/facilitator on the excursion, led the group through some of the halls contain- , ing 19th and 20th century art, discussing Seurat, Wood, . Picasso, and Calder, among others. After finishing at the Art Institute, the group journeyed over ( to the shore of Lake Michigan to the Adler Planetarium. There the . readers explored the science exhibits in the museum prior to i viewing a spectacular sky show , entitled, “Death of the ’ Dinosaurs.” , Following a preset itinerary, I the Chicago Excursion checked t into the Americana Congress

busy day to sit and talk with one or two of the job applicants from Wawasee. Employers are encouraged to find out what they know, to look beyond the lack of work experience of some of the applicants and try to see how the young man or woman might fit into some area of the business. Try an “OK Kid” through Wawasee High School’s Placement Office. To do so, phone 457-3147, extension 202.

Hotel on South Michigan Avenue, ate dinner at a McDonald’s Restaurant on State Street in the Loop, and walked to the Sears Tower to view Chicago by night from the observation deck near the top. By this time, the intrepid travelers had become quite weary and were more than ready to tumble into their hotel beds. Sunday morning dawned clear and cool. The excursionists enjoyed breakfast in the hotel coffee shop prior to setting out along Michigan Avenue for a walking tour of the Loop. Having the streets nearly to themselves, the students were able to get a good look at the architecture and abundant pieces of sculpture found in the Loop area. They examined and discussed the Rookery, the Chagall mosaic, the Calder

stabile, and of course, the Picasso in Daley Plaza. While at the Picasso, a pair of Italian television filmmakers asked the group if they could film the children playing around the base of the sculpture. The chaperones agreed, and so it is that perhaps some students from Milford may be seen in an Italian television special on people and their involvement with art. To round out the urban experience, the dauntless adventurers took a ride on a Chicago elevated train. Traveling from the Loop down to 35th Street, the students passed China Town and got a very good look at the city’s skyline. On their return leg to the Loop, they were treated to Sunday morning gospel hymns and a non-stop string of testimonials

from a woman and her young son traveling on the same elevated car. ’ The parents and students who made the trip all agreed it was a unique learning experience well worth the time and money expended. The fifth grade students who participated were Mindy Beatty, Rita Beer, Tim Bradley, Kirk Dewart, Doug Free, Chad Henson, Trisha Mikel, Mason Robbins, Anna Sanders, Loretta Schafer, Kerri Speicher, and Charity Stump. Parents who graciously consented to drive and chaperone the trip were Mr. and Mrs. Curtis Bradley, Mr. and Mrs. Mikel, and Mr. and Mrs. Joel Robbins. Suzie and Tim Yeager led the Chicago Excursion. Mr. Yeager is teacher of the enrichment reading group.
