"Libby" Wiedrich, as she is affectionately known, will observe her ninety-ninth birthday Monday, Aug. 21. STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD Clara Wiedrich Young At 99 "A young 99" is probably the best way to describe Mrs. Clara Elizabeth Wiedrich, better known to a hokt of friends as Libby. She will add another candle to her birthday cake next Monday, Aug. 21, at the Pistakee Bay Nursing home, where she .has resided for the past two years. Prior to that time, Mrs. Wiedrich lived alone in Ringwood. She is in good health, able to walk with the aid of a walker, and is mentally alert. The nonagenarian is popular with other residents of the home because of her geniality and ability to converse in an interesting manner. Radio and television keep her posted on events of the day, even to current highlights of the political year. Clara Coates, who is looking forward to her birthday, was j?n roui born near Ringwood and has always resided within a radius of ten miles. She was one of nine children, and while not the youngest, is the only one who survives. Recollections of her childhood are of attendance at the Ringwood school. She oberves that many changes and much progress have taken place in the world since she was a young girl. It was on Dec. 18, seventy- five years ago, that she was married to Fred Wiedrich, Sr. They observed their fifty-fifth wedding anniversary before his death. Of six children, three are living, Flora Carr and Mae Wiedrich of Ringwood and Roy Weidrich^f Genoa City, Wis. She aHso has many grand­ children and great­ grandchildren. Mrs. Wiedrich will be visited by a number of them next weekend. player who caught tor the St. Louis Cardinals, Brooklyn Dodger, Red Sox and Chicago Cubs. A genuine desire to play is all that the school asks of its prospective student. Atlanta's Hank Aaron has been quoted as saying, "I'd never be the batter I am now if it wasn't for Mickey Owen. He managed me in Puerto Rico before I came up to the Braves. Before I met him I didn't know the strike zone from second base, he taught me where it was." DAVID CROOK David Crook, son of Mr. and Mrs. D. Crook has announced that he attended the Mickey Owen Baseball school for boys age 8 through 18. Each boy comes to the school with a position in mind and wants to improve either his hitting or fielding. David worked on becoming a better shortstop, and received his instruction from experienced coaches on one of seven available fields. The school furnishes the boys with a Mickey Owen cap and tee-shirt and also sells needed equip­ ment. David had an opportunity to play in at least twelve games per week and met boys from all over the United States. Mickey has developed the best methods of teaching boys the aspects of baseball through experience and experiment. He is a former major league What He Learned "What did mama's little boy learn in school today?" simpered a lady to her off­ spring. "I learned two boys," re­ sponded junior, "not to call me 'mama's little boy'." STAFFING PROGRAM REVIEWED BY BOARD OF DISTRICT 156 (Continued from page 1) Approved during the meeting were contracts for William Noyes; Robert Ludwigsen, Environmental Science at West; Miss Ellen Conradi; Lyle Luzum, Social Science; James McFarland, Basic Skills at East; Daniel R. Callahan, Biology and Mathematics at East. Among non-certified per­ sonnel, approval was given to employ Mrs. Gladys Johnson, office secretary at East; Miss Nancy Stetter, temporary assistant to bookkeeper; Mrs. Gerry Johnson, reassigned to junior grade secretary in the guidance office; and Mrs. Leona Estis, West campus attendance secretary. Resignations were accepted from Cliff Freeman, media specialist at both campuses; Mrs. Gerry Johnson, at­ tendance secretary at West; and Mrs. Judith Lovenguth,' junior grade secretary, West. The new concept of "social promotion" occupied con­ siderable time and discussion by the board. The explanation followed a recent meeting between the superintendent and administrators of feeder schools to the high swiool. The concept calls for the promotion, designated as "social", of students who have spent eight years in grade school and have not satisfac­ torily completed work which would earn a diploma. The thinking of educators, as ex­ plained by Supt. Richard Swantz, is that it is more desirable to allow these students to enter high school than to hold them back. He explained that it is now con­ ceded that the child who enters first grade may vary in his mental capacity between the ages of 4 and ft. At this point, educators feel it is wise to have a pupil take a grade a second time. The thinking changes when the student passes the age when he would normally be in eighth grade. Supt. Swantz observed that modern educators feel revolt usually results from holding a student back at this time. Lloyd Freund commented that he believes a student at any age will pick up some knowledge of those subjects on a second try. However, the superintendent reiterated that such procedures usually end in failure. Other questions werfe, "What do you do in high school if this type student can't pass? What incentive if the student knows he will be passed anyway? After a lengthy discussion and exchange of opinions, it was decided that the board will meet with feeder school ad­ ministrators to discuss "social promotion". In other business, the payroll was presented and approved unanimously. However, Claypool asked that it be broken down in detail for the future rather than some items presented in a lump sum. A resolution was approved, with reservations, entering into a county vocational cooperative plan. Claypool was named to serve with the superintendent on the board of directors. The plan is an outgrowth of growing concern over career education by all county high schools. Nine schools have expressed interest in facility sharing that might help them in this area of education. The agreement signed provides for state approval which results in 80 per cent reimbursement for all tran­ sportation costs incurred in sending students from one school to another. An example presented was the case of a McHenry high school student attending an Agriculture or Horticulture class at Woodstock. The cost to the local district would be $200 per pupil, per subject, plus transportation. If there are openings in local vocational classes, the same amount would be received from a student from another district. With the tremendous demand currently being placed on vocational facilities, and the extrmely high cost of ex­ panding them, the school districts of the county feel the new plan provides a partial solution. It will allow students from any participating district to take part in a particular vocational type class offered elsewhere, for which his own school is not equipped. Approval was given, subject to the board's approval of all expenditures and activities in connection with the program. A motion was passed to employ a full time nurse at East campus, utilizing $1,600 of Title I funds to support the salary. This year's Title I program grant has been raised from $11,200 to $14,560. In the past, East campus students were serviced by a nurse in the morning only.

Numerous problems arose which promp­ ted the decision to employ a nurse full time. In other action, the board approved the FY 1973 Public Law 89-10 Title I budget as submitted. The program will be much the same as last year except that it will be expanded to involve more students. A new maternity leave policy was also given approval. A detailed report of the financial status of the school's cafeterias was submitted, indicating that a price increase is warranted. The result was a vote to raise student lunch prices from .35 to .40 and teacher lunches from .50 to .55 PAGE7-PLAINDEALER-FRIDAY, AUGUST 18, 1972 for the next year. Consideration had been given to the possibility of substituting the cafeteria programs with a service from vending com­ panies. However, of the five companies approached, none submitted bids because they were unable to compete with the cafeteria prices. Approval was given to the provision for a smoking area out of doors at West campus, and also changes in the penalty for smoking in unauthorized areas.
