10 Lb. Baskets, jMcHenry Highlights} ISICS - Independent Study in Community Service "The feeling that I am really helping people, and if there were a lot more people helping each other the world would be a lot happier," is a comment of an East campus ISICS volunteer. It well summarizes the philosophy and purpose of the student - community services program established since 1972 at East campus by science teacher. Barb Medina. Miss Meding, director of the program, explains that ISICS had its beginnings in the FTA (Future Teachers of America), a program designed to help students prepare as future teachers, and has, since that time, become a program much larger in scope. The focus of ISICS is community participation and service. Students serve the needs of children in area grade schools, as well as participate as high school teacher, office, and custodial aides. They work with the Headstart program and as Junior volunteers at the hospital. Landmark school's principal, A1 Boeldt, well summarizes the contributions of ISICS volunteers to the grade school program. "ISICS volunteers contribute to our overall efforts to individualize instruction by helping the teacher get around to everyone in the classroom, helping students make up missed work, escorting groups to the Learning center and gym, and playing games with the students to- strengthen readiness skills." By the teachers with detail work, ISICS volunteers are making more time available to the teacher for planning and providing special help for students. Helping youngsters with their reading, writing, and spelling are some of the other contributions of ISICS volunteers. Volunteers in the high school assist in the offices, the library, and in the audio-visual department Individual teachers and the custodial staff are also served by ISICS students. In addition, the junior volunteer program at McHenry's hospital is a function of ISICS. Students work as nurse's aides on weekdays and weekends as well. Through their work with youngsters, school staff, and the community, the volunteers describe their efforts as most rewarding. All of them find their volunteer work has helped them became more self confident, understanding, and more responsible. The feeling of self-accomplishment is predominant. As one volunteer said, "By the end of the day, I know that I accomplished something. That's a good feeling." This program, which involves approximately 100 East campus students, is conducted during the regular school day and scheduled during the volunteer's unscheduled or independent free time. Volunteers receive one credit for participation. With the beginning of this school year, ISICS will be in its sixth year of operation. The success of the program is well described in the words of Dan DeRoche, principal at Edgebrook. "I only have laudable comments for this entire program. The ISICS students we've had at Edgebrook have been realty tremendous- They improve themselves, our students, and each of us." From a small, co-curricular did) involving jua»« few students, Miss Meding has established a very successful ^program which serves the entire community and which benefits-all children and people involved. The opportunities it offers for self-development through volunteer help are numerous. Its excellence and success speak for itself. The community is well served by Bliss Meding's and the volunteers' efforts. \. Which Dog ForYou? Scottish Terrier The Scottish Terrier is the canine symbol of the tartan and the thistle. This perky lit­ tle dog is so closely associated with Scotland that it has be­ come the advertising image for almost all products, from whiskey to woolens, that are even remotely associated with its native land. The Scottish Terrier is a descendant of the early High­ land Terriers, hardy hunting dogs that date back as far as the sixteenth century. First exhibited- as a distinct breed in 1879, the modern Scottie immediately took the high road to popularity. Its greatest vogue in America was from 1929 to 1944, when it never once dropped out of the ten top-ranking breeds. The most famous Scottie during that period was Murray of Falla- hill, known all over the world as Fala, beloved companion of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Though Scotties are almost always pictured as coal black, they may also be silver, brin- dle or wheaten -- in fact, any color except white; texture is more important than color with this breed. They have a dense undercoat and a hard, wiry outer coat that sheds very little but does need pro­ fessional stripping to look its best. They are ideal apartment dogs, but they adapt beauti­ fully to country living, too. Moving along on piston-like legs, its compact little body dose to the ground, ears and tail pointed skyward, the Scottie looks very jaunty and cute. But "cute" is not the word for this dog. The Scottish Terrier is proud and dignified, too fiercely inde­ pendent to curry favor with anybody except its immedi­ ate family. This dog personi­ fies the true terrier spirit -- courage, Independence and a strong sense of self-impor­ tance. Fearless of man and dog alike, the Scpttie is an excellent watchdog. Aloof with strangers, the Scottish Terrier is affection­ ate, responsive and unswerv­ ingly loyal to its owner and family. This is a reserved, cautious animal by nature, with a rather dour tempera­ ment reflecting its Scottish heritage. Hie Scottie is hap­ piest in a household with individuals who can under­ stand and respect its privacy; then it can make a superb pet and companion. A bit stub- bom, but very intelligent and readily trained, it responds brightly to praise and appre­ ciation. The Scottie thrives best in close and intimate companionship.

S1S-M5-3074 The Day 'Lucky Lindy' Flew ...And, The World Waited SECTION * - PAGE 3 - PL AINDE ALEE - FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 2. 197? Contrary to popular belief, when Charles A. Lindbergh made his historic flight across the Atlantic from New York to Paris 50 years ago, he was not alone -- at least not in spirit. Millions of people throughout the world -- in their hearts and in their minds -- were right beside him in that tiny cockpit of the Spirit of St. Louis. Blazing headlines of the day in 1927 provide a clue as to how highly the flight was regarded: "Lindbergh Does It! To Paris in 33Vi Hours; Flies 1,000 Miles Through Snow And Sleet; Cheering French Carry Him Off Field!" . . . "Lindbergh Safely In Paris 2% Hours Ahead Of Schedule" . . ."Delirious Paris Acclaims Lindbergh", In this space. age when men have walked on the moon, it's difficult to com­ prehend the magnitude of what Lindbergh single-hand­ edly accomplished at the age of only 25: with little sleep beforehand, he managed to take off from a rain-soaked, muddy field and on May 20-21, 1927 flew 3,600 miles non-stop from New York to Drawing depicts highlights in the historic non-stop New York to Paris flight of Charles A. Lindbergh, May 20-21, 1927. Included are items Lucky Lindy carried on the Spirit of St. Louis: a Bulova 'Lone Eagle' wristwatch, five sandwiches, and a return Paris to New York steamship ticket which was never „ used. His plane is now on permanent exhibit at the National Air & Space Museum in Washinton, D.C. tans in 33% hours in his single engine Spirit of St. Louis (at altitudes ranging from 10 feet to 10,000 feet above the water), and he did it without the aid of com­ puters, back-up systems or even a radio. Stange as it sounds, it can be said that -- at least in part -- Lindbergh did it with mirrors, (his only forward view was through a periscope.) His meager provisions in­ cluded five sandwiches -- only one and a half of which he actually consumed during the trip. (When asked by a report­ er before the flight if he indeed was only carrying the five sandwiches for food, Lind­ bergh replied: "Yes, five. That's enough. If I get to Paris I wont need any more. If I don't -- well, I won't- need any more either.") The aircraft carried 450 gallons of fuel at takeoff, the maximum the tanks would hold. On landing in Paris, there was still enough gas remaining for another 1,000 miles. Because he did not want to add any unnecessary weight to the already heavy loaded craft, Lindbergh refused to carry either a radio transmit­ ter or receiver. Likewise, there was no clock on the instrument panel. The only timepiece aboard the Spirit of St. Louis on the renowned flight was a Bulova wristwatch which the pilot wore. (Fol­ lowing the flight, the company sold 5,000 "Long Eagle" watches in three days.) Upon landing in Paris amid a crowd estimated at more than 100,000, Lindy's first words were, "I am Charles Lindbergh." When later, asked why he said what he did, the hero modestly replied, "I was afraid they might think I was somebody else." However, the i>eiroit, Michigan native wasjto con­ fident that he would indeed reach Europe safely that he carried in his shirt pocket an order on the White Star lines for passage home. He actually returned aboard a U.S. Navy cruiser sent by President Coolidge '• To commemorate the 50tn anniversary of the famous flight,, a duplicate of the Spirit of St. Louis is now op a flying tour of ll2 cities in all of the 4S continental United States. . Lindbergh's original plane is on permanent display inv the National Air & Space Museum in Washington which has the highest "traffic" oount of any museum in the world. More than 10 million people have visited the facility since it was first opened July 1, 1976 as part of the nation's bicentennial celebration. Thus, more people have seen the Spirit of St. Louis in the past year than saw it in all the previous 49 years of its existence.
