The department is adding one or two new tiles each year. These are inspired, drawn and created by some of North Webster’s finest
junior high art students. Designs range from bold, abstract images to carefully rendered realistic pictures, such as, Garfield. By looking at the tiles one would nearly be able to tell in what year they were added to the ceiling, as the signs of the time come alive. School officials say that the ceiling tile design paintings generate much interest in other art classes, as students watch the design develop before their eyes. Additionally it is said to be an incentive to other students to improve their work so that they might also be able to do a tile someday. Many art students return to the classroom years later in order to admire their work, as do many parents and friends. North Webster school officials encourage parents to stop in and see the creative new designs that go up each year.

Do you suspect your child of using drugs/alcohol?
The following is from the Indiana State Excise Police: Questions For Parents You may suspect that your child or teenager is having trouble with alcohol and other drugs, but short of smelling liquor on the breath or discovering pills in pockets, how do you tell? While symptoms vary, there are some common tipoffs. Your answers'to the following questions will help you determine if a problem exists. 1. Has your youngster’s personality changed dramatically? Does he or she seem giddy, depressed, extremely irritable, hostile without reason? Do his or her moods change suddenly, intensely, and without provocation? ' t 2. Is your supply of liquor, mood or diet drugs dwindling? (Unless you keep a close inventory, you riot detect diminished amounts for months.) 3. Is your youngster less responsible about doing chores? About getting home on time? About following instructions and household rules? 4. Has he or she Jost interest in school? In extracurricular activities, especially sports? Are grades dropping? Has the teacher complained that your youngster is sleeping or inattentive in class? Is your youngster skipping school? (Problems at school are frequent warning signs.) 5. Has your youngster changed friends and started hanging out with a drinking and drug-taking group? Are there weekend long parties? (A youngster having problems with alcohol or other drugs will abandon old friends and seek out those with similar attitudes and behavior.) 6. Are you missing money or objects which are easily convertible into cash? ( A young abuser's need for alcohol or other drugs increases and becomes more expensive. Eventually, the need for drugs overcomes any guilt about stealing from members or others.) 7. Have neighbors, friends, or others talked to you about your youngster’s behavior or drugtaking? (These reports may have substance.) 8. Has yofir youngster been ar-
rested for drunkenness? Driving under the influence of alcohol or other drugs? Disorderly conduct? Delinquent acts? (Encounters with the legal system often indicate underlying problems with alcohol and other drugs. There is a strong correlation between alcohol and/or other drug abuse and delinquency.) 9. Does your youngster strongTap Laura Haney Cas member of Lambda Sigma The Lambda chapter at Lambda Sigma society of Westminster College has tapped 30 freshmen for membership.

ly defend his or her right to use alcohol and other drugs? (People defend that which is most important to them.) 10. Does your youngster “turn off” to talks about alcohol and other drug addictions? (Abusers would rather not hear anything which might interfere with their behavior, while the nonabuser will listen without becoming defensive.) 11. Does your youngster get into fights with other Youngsters? With other family members? (More than 70 percent of all beatings, stabbings, and assaults have occurred when one or both participants has been drinking or abusing other drugs.) 12. Are there medical or emotional problems? (Check for ulcers, bronchitis, high blood pressure, acute indigestion, liver and kidney ailments, hepatitis, nose bleeds, malnutrition, weight loss, depression, memory lapses, talk of suicide. Alcohol and other drugs take their toll. Youngsters on "uppers” or “downers” usually loose their appetite. The taking of PCP, “Angel Dust,” leads to paranoia and hallucinations. Long-term marijuana users often develop bronchitis. Heavy drinkers experience problems with digestion, malnutrition, and depression.) 13. Do you detect physical signs — alcohol on the breath, change in pupil size in the eyes, hyperactivity, sluggishness, slur-
** JHHHwJUK F • 4MW fer.* 1 * w i/rp I S 5 OEEICER FRIENDLY VISITS SCHOOL — The Syracuse Police Department ended its Just Say No drug awareness program this past week after talks with the kindergarten, first, and second grades about the use of marijuana and other drugs. Officers Ron Moser and Robert J. Houser visited the elementary school on March 24, 25, and 3(1, and completed the Just Say No program which was launched in February. An animated movie. “Keep Off The Grass,” featuring Dr. Cooper and Friends, was shown to the children. The film was recently purchased by the Syracuse Police Department, along with several other animated stories which discuss sniffing inhalents, smoking, and medicine cabinet drugs. These are VCR films and are available at no charge to any Syracuse organization or resident who would like to show them to groups or their ow n family members. The entire Just Say No program, which has lasted two months, was co-sponsored by the Syracuse Police Department and the Syracuse Elementary and Junior High School. The program had the backing of the PTO and the Syracuse Town Board and was funded by the merchants and business people of Syracuse. Due to the overwhelming response to the program by the community, parents, and students, Syracuse Police Chief Robert Zilier intends to continue the Just Say No program on an annual basis. , Future police department programs will include the fingerprinting of kindergarten students before the end of the school year. This is a continuation of last year’s fingerprinting program which was done in cooperation with the elementary school and will also be done on an annual basis. In addition. officers are presently preparing a program for parents on how to teach children to be safe on the streets. Details on both of these programs will be announced in the near future.

red or incoherent speech? (These are all strong clues.) 13. Does your youngster lie to -you and others often? (For young a^busers, lying becomes automatic. They fib without reason. There is a saying: “Young alcoholics and other drug abusers have two things in common — they have a terminal attack of the “cool” and are stuck in “sneak” gear.) 15. Does your youngster volunteer to clean up after adult cocktail parties? (Draining halfempty glasses is a cheap high.) 16. Do you find bottles or drugs in the bedroom, garage, van? (Parents of abusers are amazed to find stashes of alcohol or drugs under mattresses, in stereo speakers, behind insulation in garages.) 17. Is your youngster irresponsible in using the family car — taking it without permission, making excuses for not getting it home on time? (Many teenagers drink in cars and then drive. They frequently cause motor vehicle accidents.) 18. Does your youngster stay alone in his or her bedroom most of the time, bursting forth only occasionally? Does he or she resent questions about activities and destinations? (Some secrecy, aloffness, and resentment on the part of teenagers is normal. But when carried to extremes, these may signal problems with alcohol or other drugs.)

The primary family relationships are affected first.) 20. Has your youngster been caught dealing in drugs or giving them to friends? Alcohol and other drug abuse can create “Mr. Hydes” out of once happy youngsters and keep them from those who love them. The youngsters becojne strangers and sources of frustration, irritation, and disruption to the family. *»• MADD Meeting April 23 For more information on drugs, drinking and driving, plan to attend the next Mothers Against Drunk Driving meeting April 23 at 7 p.m. in the Wawasee High School cafeteria annex or contact Mrs. Marian Breyer at 834-7249 or at the high school.
