Laying out contour lines with the transit. / Testing sandstone samples for radioactivity. 1969 Outdoor Education Program Is Concluded The outdoor education pro­ gram offered by School Dis­ trict 15 was recently conclud­ ed. Besides numerous trips of science and social science in­ terest, the students were ac­ tively involved in laboratory work. The indoor-outdoor labor­ atory offered opportunities to work with concepts of earth sci­ ence, bio-science and simple chemistry. A stream table per­ mitted the students to work in small groups studying ero- sional effects and glaciation. The kettles formed in sand mor­ aines were very similar to those observed near Harvard. Rock samples collected on the trip were split to expose the fossils they contained. Stu­ dents also tested sandstone for traces of radio activity with the geiger counter. Limestone specimens proved to contain carbonates with the hydro­ chloric acid test. Three large display boards were filled with the rock spec­ imens. One containing about eighteen different types of rock crystals, was collected at one site. This great variety proved to the group that it was glac­ ial material moved here from many places on this continent. Anothej: was filled with var­ ious limestones that were ac­ quired. A third contains fern and flower fossils collected near Coal City. Microscopes were an impor­ tant part of the indoor lab be­ cause they allowed for small group and independent study. Various aquatic plant and an­ imal life specimens were i- dentified. Students also stud­ ied plant leaf and root struc­ tures of the grasses and legume families. A valuable tool used to ac­ quire mathematical concepts in the outdoor lab was the transit. This became a protractor for angular measurements, sight­ ing horizontal and vertical lines, selecting points of equal elevation for contouring, and for sighting the gradient of the stream behind the school. Much time was spent in the dark room developing film and printing the pictures of all of the activities. Each student has put together a scrapbook to record the summer's activities. In them they have numerous picture postcards of the var­ ious places visited. In addi­ tion, they have about 150 photos that they helped take, develop and print. Surveys completed by stu­ dents and their parents show that the program was enjoyed by both. All expressed a de­ sire to participate in a fu­ ture program, if one is of­ fered. They are convinced that school could be fun as well as educational. This program was partially funded through the Title I ESEA (Elementary Secondary Education Act) of 1965. Carl Wagner and Gene Maris taught the class during 1968and 1969 summer school sessions. PG. 8 - PLAINDEAIER - FRI.

Father John Strzalka Pastor What makes them happy? In our experience there is one place where you can be sure of seeing happy faces. It isn't the bank--though certainly we have great respect for our banks. There people look intent, busy, serious with the financial responsibilities of life. Nor is it at the ball game. There is no joy in Mudville when mighty Casey strikes out. But when you go to church you see so many happy faces? It is as though people had left their troubles behind them . . . their fears . . . their worries . . . their little sadnesses and great sorrows. Yet we know that no one can really leave these behind him. They are part of our life--and our life goes with us wherever we go. But church is a place where men come to share their burdens with Someone Else ... someone who cares ... who helps ... who strengthens. And this kind of sharing--between man and God -- has always been the root of true happiness.
