of picture cards, picture story books, large books with illustrations and words, puppets, hand held masks and large inflatable alpha letter people. Every tool, which is designed in such away to be very appealing to children, has its own,purpose of introduc-

ing some new concept to the kindergartners. For example, a bright green puppet named “Alphabetasaurus” is used to introduce new letters to the kids, explains Mrs. Huey. And the inflatable alpha letter people are used for letter recognition and to introduce and practice letter sounds. “We use it (the reading program) every day,” says Mrs. Huey, adding, “so far the kids love it and I like it too. ’ ’ Another addition to the kindergarten classrooms, that the children seem to be responding well to, are the new tables and chairs. Mrs. Huey says the children have remarked about how “comfortable” the new chairs are. “Yes,” Mrs. Conrad agrees, adding, the students in her classroom describe the new furniture as “awesome! ” Brought to the classrooms, within the past two weeks, the new furniture is greatly appreciated by the teachers too. The reading program and new furnishings are just a sampling of the school’s efforts to respond to the needs of its students. In return, Mrs. Huey notes, the students are responding positively to two new tools of learning for Syracuse kindergartners. Timothy Mangas named to DePauw dean's list Timothy B. Mangas of Syracuse is among 398 DePauw University students who have been recognized for outstanding academic performance and named to the dean’s list for the fall semester at DePauw University. Mangas is a junior at DePauw. To be eligible for the dean’s list at DePauw, a student must earn at least a 3.5 grade point average out of a possible 4.0 points. Founded in 1837, DePauw University in Greencastle is a selective co-educational, liberal arts university with nationally recognized programs in its college of liberal arts (23 departments) , school of music and school of nursing. In a 1987 survey by Standard and Poor’s Corp.. DePauw was ranked 11th in the nation and first in the Midwest among liberal arts colleges as the undergraduate origin of the country’s top executives. DePauw is 10th in the nation among private, liberal arts colleges and universities as the baccalaureate source for Ph D. degrees in all fields, according to a 1986 survey by Franklin and Marshall College. Prizes Taxable If you win a prize in a drawing, contest, TV or radio program or other event, you must include it in your income. For details, see Publication 525, Taxable and Nontaxable Income.
