THE McHENHY PLAINDEALEH Thursday* October 8* 1964 Musin' & Meanderin' ing a passing mark, somebody used poor judgment „ in assigning him to poorer teachers. If he changes his mind four or five times between June and September in the subjects he decides to take, certainly the principal who has labored through a summer vacation to balance classes should have some understanding that a 15 or 16 lad can't be expected to be settled. And so the problems of some youngsters and their fond parents go -- and not only theirs but the problems they create for everyone with whom they have become association. For the sake of sanity and some pleasure in this inspiring career of teaching. it is fortunate not too many parents and not too many of their offspring fit the description. In the midst of a beautiful fall season, we are not quite sure by either the weather or what we note in the stores what c-mes next. Warm breezes and still blooming flowers alternate wilh biting winds arid signs of falling leaves outside. Inside, Halloween, Thanksgiving $hd Christmas decorations vie tor attention on the shelves. They tell us we can be fairly sure that just like "the rich get richer and the poor get poorer" in the song, '"the winds will blow colder and the days get shorter" in the weeks ahead. DJSTBIGT 15 ADVISORY GROUP If AMES LEADERS (Continued from Page 1) Through many generations, one of the foundations of America's industrial economy has been equality of opportunity. If we are to uphold our standard of equality, we have a particular responsibility to a large and important segment of oiir working force -- the handicapped. ^During this week of Oct. 4 through 10, which is the twentieth annual National Employ the Physically Handicapped Week, employers might well give some thought to the fact that many of these individuals not only do as good a job, but actually contribute more than a good number who have no disabilities. The Gamaraderie that exists between the female office force at the Plaindealer office is something that must be seen to be appreciated. For instance, this past week on successive days, attractive "pay up" stickers for the coffee fund found their way to some of our desks, pleasant reminders from one of the employees who takes a zealous glee in seeing the dimes pile high. The first, picturing a sad hound dog, read: "Certainly hate to Hound you for this past due balance, please remit." The second, mdre pointed, contained a large exclamation point with the warning -- "Much as we regret it we will be compelled to place this account in outside hands unless payment is received -- at once. Final Notice." The spirit of kindness exifitfe except for these brief moment^ when a slowly waning coffee supply makes Dr. Hyde out Of Dr. Jekyll -- all in the person of one we know as "Miss Lee." K. A. F. 673 students in frve years--an increase of 445 above current enrollment, widi another 400 following the next five years.

Temporary chairman of the committee, William Cristy, and Vale Adams, president of the high school board, welcomed the group and explained why the group was asked to form. Adams stated that the board of education felt the need at this time to have the objective thinking of persons from all areas of the district upon problems that are now facing the school system.

The committee was chosen by a selections committee, serving at the request of the board of education.

Another committee will confer with local staff members, other school and university and state officials about desirable size and organization of high schools. These committees met in brief work sessions at the conclusion of the general meeting.
