An excellent program covering the , advantages of an education at the school was given by members of the association and the faculty. Henry Leiston, representative from the Father's club on the Parent Association board, discussed the aims and objectives of both organizations. Although the two groups were form ilated to help "make a better Marian", the Father's club is the only fund-raising organization of the school. The membership fee provides a form of insurance to the member that in case of death, his children's education at Marian is secure. The Father's club has paid tuition and fees over the years for as many as eight students at one time. .Louis Hartlieb, co-ordinator of the guidance department, spoke about the academic programs at Marian. The courses offered for a terminal education have been increased and the students enrolled in this program now have a wide range of interests to consider. William Pelikan, personal guidance counselor for collegebound students, discussed the courses offered in the college preparatory program and the relationship of the counsellor, the student and his parents in planning the students future. The interpretation of test scores, information concerning colleges, scholarships and financial aid are pertinent topics for the upper classmen. A total of 88.5 percent of Marian graduates enter some formal post high school training; of these 68 percent enroll in colleges and universities. The remedial reading program was explained by Robert Hauser. Mr. Hauser stated that the students whose test scores indicated reading problems are assigned to classes where all the instructors help them to overcome this handicap. The program reaches down into the eighth grades in order to determine the children who are in need of these services.

Grandma Sez - - - Well, whadaya know about that! The Britains finally have to admit that the "Old Lady, Queen of the Seas" has to take a back seat. Guess it's too bad, but seems to me that sBfe took a lot of advantage of so many people, all over the world, that it jest couldn't last. Ya jest cain't get away with it, I reckon, takin' so much from so many and givin' so little in return. It's bound to back-fire sometime. Guess you might fool some o' the people all the time and all the folks some o* the time, but you jest cain't fool all the people all o* the time. Ya jest can't own human beings, and it finally caught up with her. Old Ma Britain found it purty hard to cut the cord, when her folks didn't like the way they wuz treated, years ago, and ended up on these shores. But like good kids, they're willin' to do what they kin to aid the old lady, now that she is down and out. But the facts are there, and you kin bet that there's a whole lot o' folks on this old globe who*re goin' to git a chance to prove their selves, now that Ma Britain has pulled out, and thet ain't bad,' I guess. I feel a mite sorry, though, for some folks a lot o' them old theireelves, by now, who'll feel a funny ache inside, and mebbe a tear or two will run down their cheeks. But it'll all turn out alright, after things get a new start over there. Leastways I hope so. They're a pretty stout bunch them British, and they don't go down easy-like. . .1 know. I jest hope she don't declare bankruptcy and cancel out her debts. Somehow I jest cain't help feelin' there's somethin' behind it, though, that we can't see. I dunno. Grandma Radtke (Ruth E.
