PAGE 20 - PLAINDEALER-THURSDAY, JULY 3, 1975 MONA WHEELOCK It was a sweltering, near 100 degree graduation day in .Carthage, 111.,' for Mona Wheelock last weekend. She received her certification from Moser following a ten months' on-campus program. Proud were her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Philip Wheelock, as Mona delivered the class address on "Social Life". She will be at­ tending Western, 111., university in Macomb next fall, majoring in Business. CREATIVE DRAMATICS AT HOME Creative dramatics sounds like an activity almost too imposing for use at home. Actually, home is an ideal place for informal drama. In creative dramatics, you emphasize the players, not the play. There are no scripts, no a w e s o m e e x h a u s t i n g productions. C D. was defined- well by a ten-year-old boy who said simplyr "In creative dramatics you can be anything you want to be. If you're fat, you can be thin; if you're short, you can be tall. You don't have )to say what the teachers say; you can say what you think to say." A girl added "We have feelings in here (pointing to the heart) - they have to come out. In dramatics we can let them out." -• - ^ Children already possess what they need for creative drama-lots of imagination coupled with the instinct for make-believe and im­ provisation. When girls play house or dress up in,mother's clothes, they're in the throes of dramatic expression. When boys (or girls!) whir about the house with their trucks, put on cowboy suits and go bang, bang, they're in the best traditions of the stage. > Youngsters love to dress up and imagine they're someone else. Provide a costume box of old clothes, hats, ^hoes, etcr- Small props are especially useful like fans, umbrellas, toy luggage, transportation toys, masks, dolls for dressing and undressing. It's wonderful to see the transformation that a flowered straw hat and high heels can do for ajjittle girl in shorts. Sud-t denly she's a fairy godmother- put a black scarf on her head and she's a wicked witch.. There you have the rudiments of dramatic characterization. From this, a youngster can develop a play in which a fairy godmother meets a cowboy. What happens after that? That's for the children to work out. The shy child who finds it difficult to take part will find confidence in back of a mask with a prop in his hand. Give children the chance to be a favorite character - a witch, a teacher, a cowboy, a king or queen. Most elementary schoolers need to add some reality to their dramatics play. Provide them with a -Home Costume Box and let them contribute to it, too. Now you're ready to evolve a plot. Let's say you have Cin­ derella and a spy - they meet. What happens next? Children love to have their parents take parts in impromptu plays. Remember that a child's ideas about what he should be doing in his role need not fit an adult's thinking. Children's ideas are often less stereotyped and more original. Be on the lookout for stories that are easy to dramatize. Good examples of simple story lines with plenty of action and few cast members are "Three Billy Goats Gruff," (get under a table for a bridge,) "Fer­ dinand the Bull," "Little Bear," "Red Bantam," "Emily Emerson's Moon," "Peter Rabbit.' ' Kiwanians At Convention Ed Guettler and Dean Cunat of McHenry, attended^ the sixtieth annual convention of Kiwanis International in Atlanta, June 22-25. Guettler and Cunat were among 18,000 people attending the convention, representing 280,000 Kiwanians in forty- seven countries. Both are members of the Kiwanis club of McHenry. As delegates, they elected new Kiwanis In-* ternational officers and trustees, passed resolutions upon which the organization's 1975-76 community service programs will be built, and amended the Kiwanis In­ ternational constitution. Other convention activities included addresses by Dr. William S. Banovysky, president of Peppe^dine university; Dean Rusk, former Children grow more self- conscious and conscious of the world about them as they grow older, and they no longer find dramatizing comes so naturally to them. Parents will need to help these youngsters to continue using drama as a way to express themselves, to release pent-up feelings, to be anything they want to be. Secretary of State and currently professor jof In­ ternational law at the University of Georgia ; Kiwanis International President Roy W. Davis; columnist Ann Lander/; and a host of .other per­ sonalities. Other convention activities included various award luncheons and banquets; workshops ,and clinics; youth tours and dances for the young people; special ladies programs for tfoe wives; and a series of conferences on contemporary issues headed by experts in various socio­ economic fields including Andre' Raynauld, chairman of the -Economic council of Canada; Clarence Kelley, director of the FBI, and Ellio Rapaport, president of the American Heart association.

Hanner, rector emeritus of Holy Comforter church, Episcopal, Kenilworth) Because we had had such a bad time on the toll roads in the north of Indiana, Ohio and in Pennsylvania we decided to come home through West Virginia, southern Ohio and Indiana. It was 150 miles fur­ ther but there was no toll road (our tolls on the way east had been nearly $12) It took us the same length of time either way. I'd vote for this route any time. West Virginia is mountainous and beautiful. Before the Civil War it had tried to get better service from Virginia, of which it was then a part. There were no slaves in these western counties. Slaves counted as part of the population. Therefore, the eastern part of the state had more represen­ tatives in the state Legislature, got more of the improvements, better service and attention. The western counties did not wish to secede in the Civil War. However they were voted down and in turn they seceded from the mother state. They entered the Union on their own in 1863. West Virginia is about the size of South Carolina^ though smaller, and has a population a little under 2,000,000. We entered from Win­ chester, Va., where we had a bum lunch. The gas station man didn't want to wash my windshield, 'because it was gonna rain'. After crossing a narrow western tip of Maryland we entered what the official state map call "Wild, Wonderful West Virginia!" There were good roads but they were winding. Traffic was at an all time low. We drovey&long through wild, jumbled mountains. Not high ones like the West but rugged, sometimes steep hills green and lush. It was peaceful. It was beautiful. We were glad we had come this way. There are thirty-four state parks in this recreational wonderland. They offer all sorts of things from boating to swimming, hiking, golf, nature study, camping, hunting, fishing and winter sports. There are all kind of good park accommodations from rather elaborate hotels to camping and tenting. Like our own Illinois^ and neighboring Wisconsin towns and cities, these localities have annual galas of one kind or another: Apple, molasses, buckwheat, black walnut, pumpkin, cherry, poultry fetes, galas, fairs, festivals -- they call them by different names but they give towns a chance to pull together, do something for business, entertain guests and put their place on the map. Besides that, they are American, or maybe only human - who can tell? It may be said of West Virginia that it has the oddest"shape and boundaries of any state in the Union. There is that odd arm that runs north with three counties between Pennsylvania and Ohio and those seven counties that run off east between Maryland (which has no business so far westV^and Virginia. It is all part of early American history and is caused I by the mountains and the kind . of folks they breed. The northeastern part of the state, where lie Morgantown and Clarksburg, is the wildest and hilliest part of the country. At Clarksburg, not a par­ ticularly lovely city, we stayed for the night, but here we found a real fine hotel at the most sensible prices with the best dining room we encountered on the whole trip. We are going back there some time to stay for a few days and run down the winding country lanes that invite you off to nooks and crannies amongst the hills. On across Ohio where a handsome, polite, impeccable, young patrolman told me that • the speed limit was 55 miles an hour and please to remember it. This was a warning and one we should all heed. There would be fewer accidents in our country if we were slower on the throttle. Our last night out we spent in Richmond, Ind., a fine city of 50,000. Why in the world such a pleasant place is nestled in this off corner of Indiana for I hardly know. It was like a fine suburb of any great city, with parks, beautiful homes and an arboretum all- its very own. Here we found a motel that belongs to a great chain that specializes in fine beds anjl miserable meals. The bed was good but land sakes alive, so was the restaurant. This was so unusual I incrfired around and found a lor&l gentleman, anxious for a good place to dine, had purchased the restaurant and ran it as a separate venture. I hear it does quite well. The whole chain should follow this example. Coming along home through . Illinois we kept on back lanes -- little narrow roads (but all paved) where «gns informed us that th§ roadsides were allowed to grow into tall grasses and so seeded, with the understanding that local far­ mers will not cut or hay them so that pheasants, and other small wildlife, can raise families. With almost no trouble you can keep wildlife on the land. Our fiftieth reunion trip was a BIG SUCCESS. Now we will stay home this summer and- preach the gospel here and there so the local clergy can have their vacations. "MEANWHILE BACK AT THE COURTHOUSE" COMPLAINTS Sgt.

"That's a difficult question to answer," replied a consoling husband. "Pins seem to be always pointed in one direc­ tion and headed in another."
