PHS class of 1929 has reunion

The Pierceton High School class of 1929 met on July 28 for its 10th annual reunion which commemorated its 56th year since graduation. Dinner was served at the Winona Lake Hotel. This was followed by a social hour at the home of Mr. and Mrs George Shaffer, near Warsaw, where homemade ice cream and cakes were served. Mildred (Delano) NcDonald, Syracuse, read the minutes of the previous reunion and letters from Martha (Eger) Williamson, Rome City; Josephine (Dahm) Salesman, Warsaw and Irene (Froh) Morrison, Pierceton. Health reports were made in regard to Franklin Crimes, North Webster and Lola (Conklin) Fisher, Speedway. Thearl Wise travelled the greatest distance from Luray, Va. Some of the class members were also observing the 60th anniversary of the county eighth grade commencement exercises held on June 13, 1925, at the Winona Lake tabernacle. Max Elder has a well-preserved copy of the program with names of the graduates. Doris (Paxton) White, Leesburg, displayed an invitation to the graduation from Curtis S. Lenwell, then trustee of Washington Township, which was mailed with a two cent postage stamp. Computers topic for Kiwanians Mike Neff, chairman of the Mathematics Department at Wawasee High School, explained computer development at a meeting of the Kiwanis Club of Lakeland, North Webster, at a morning meeting on Monday, Aug. 5. Assisting in a computer demonstration was Bill Fisher, a Wawasee graduate now attending Devry Institute of Technology at Lombard, 111. Also assisting was Program Chairman Dean McFadden. Neff emphasized that the computer age is here and our country could not operate without the computer. The three basic sizes, he said, are the main frame, mini, and micro. The micro computer was used to demonstrate its operation for Kiwanians. Computer education classes started at WaWasee High School in the 1980-81 year with two groups. This year 14 class groups will have access to the computer training classes. The purpose of local computer training, Neff said, is to prepare students for college and to help them compete in the job market. Proper mathematics and science background training is necessary for successful progress in computer education. Wawasee High School has 20 micro computers for its training program. Each student has a machine available during a computer education class period.

Special education grant received

The North Central Indiana Special Education Cooperative recently received a $15,000 grant from the State Department of Public Instruction to continue its work on a model for identification and consultation regarding emotionally handicapped students. The NCI Co-op serves special education students in the Warsaw, Wawasee, Whitko, Bremen and Tippecanoe Valley school districts. A model, developed approximately two years ago by the NCI staff, seeks to identify potential emotionally-handicapped students by eliminating those who can best be served in the traditional classroom or in some other manner before resorting to enrollment in a behavior management class. NCI director Don Pinnick, psychologist Sandra Tucker, and Patty Melton, teacher of the emotionally handicapped, as consultants, developed the model and, in October 1984, presented a national in-service on how to incorporate the preventative model in student identification. The grant, received this spring for use during the 1985-86 school year, will allow the group to benefit from the services of Dr. L. Polsgrove of Indiana University at Bloomington, as a new consultant on the project. Dr. Polsgrove will be studying the model to expand and refine it. The grant will also allow the model’s creators to acquire the new materials and present workshops around the state on the use of the identifying model. The model, based on current research and theory, was identified by the state for its preventative nature. Approximately seven workshops were given around the state in 1984-85 by the NCI leaders. Although Pinnick says it may be more costly to keep a student out of class for the emotionally handicapped, where state aid is concerned, he says it can be much more beneficial to the student to remain in the regular classroom. The model calls for a somewhat lengthy identification process Yum yum Summer is that season of the year when a housewife can put anything on a lettuce leaf and call it a special salad. — Journal, Greensboro, N.C.

In the past ten years there have been four deaths of class members. These were Earl Rhoades, Eulalia Girard, Arthur Richhart and Glen Mort. Others attending the reunion were Francis (Collier) Hart, Fort Wayne; Loretta Dahm, Worth Hossler and Howard Menzie of Pierceton; Zola (Conklin) Wertenberger, Warsaw; Tom and Irene Reece and Ruth (Gates) Schroeder, Larwill; Arthur McDonald, Syracuse; Wanda Freez, Ligonier and Mrs. Max Elder.

where the evaluator must “prove” that a student would be best served in a class for the emotionally handicapped. However, Pinnick says, by modifying the classroom environment or the relationship with the regulat classroom teacher, many students can remain successfully in their usual classroom.
