"She replies, "Why do you want to live?" "Well," he says hesitantly, "I don't know really, it's just somethir* I have to "That's my answer, too," answers the girl, "dancing's just something I have to do." That answer could ai Jennifer Lewan, Jeiaii, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Lewan of McHenry, has been dancing fourteen of her nineteen years, and has worked professionally for the past year at her greatest love, ballet A member of the Arizona Ballet theatre for the 1978-1977 season, it is almost by chance that Jenni has been able to become a professional because her early years of training were haphazard or not of the high calibre necessary to produce a dancer. 1 As Jenni says, "I started lessons, like many little girls, when I was 5 years old. We lived on the south side of Chicago then, and my mother thought it would be nice to enroll me in the Parte district's dancing program, sort of as a little once-a-week hobby. Well, I occasionally would change studios, never really inspired, or superbly taught by any of my teachers, and the result was that I lost any real interest I had in dancing." Something must have kept her going, however, because she continued even this erratic study until she was 14. That summer, two weeks before she was to start high school in Chicago, the Lewans moved to McHenry and Jeimi's mother, to help Hfer daughter make the adjustment to the move and to high school, encouraged the girlte contir jeher dancing classes, "Just to keep in shape," if for nothing else.. "Little did she know what she was suggesting," laughs Jenni, "because that's hen I met my first professional teacher, Judy Svalander, and I've been involved very deeply in dancing and the dance world ever since." From that time on, dancing changed from a mediocre hobby to a profession to a way of life for Jenni. Along with Jenni's obvious abundance of talent and stage presence, there were the physical problems to correct in order to help the young .... into a dancer. "The problem was," continues Jenni, "I had gone to so inadequa i the prestigious Ballet West of Utah many teachers, many of them inadequate for professional training, that I was ruining my body. You know, going on pointe at too young an age, develops my muscles incorrectly, and so on. It could have been a disaster for me tf I'd realty believed as a child that I wanted to be a professional. I would have been misled into thinking that my training was adequate. I was a real handful for Jtxfy to try and remold into the classic dancer's body. If you're born with perfect turnout and all the other attributes that make the endless training a little easier to take, you're extremely fortunate. But if you're not, and you go to a mishmash of schools the way I did, well, you could end up pretty broken-hearted. "A dancer, at II, should be well on her way to a high level of training, so I made it lust in time. If I'd been 16 or 17 when we moved out here, it would have been too late. A dancer, like an Olympic swimmer or gymnast, must get that necessary training and coaching at a very young age. It's fumy, you know, other kids at 10 or 12 may not have the foggiest idea of what they want to be when they grow up. tsdt dancers and certain athletes had better know for sure by those ages, because their determination and purgeon whole future depends on that initial childhood training." that her overwhelming What Jenni doe* not mention DISCOUNT FANTASTIC HUGE SALE TUESDAY, DEC. 27 thru SATURDAY, DEC. 31 & 0V>̂ , Vv "WE'RE NOT THE THREE WISE MEN . ..

After working for most of her high school years with Judy Svalander and performing in the Bicentennial Dance theatre concerts, Jenni also enrolled in Chicago at Stone-Camryn School of Ballet, a school that has sent many professionals onto the ballet stages of the world, infixing Judy Svalander. "That was it," says Jenni, from then on I was working all day, seven days a week in classes or rehearsals, and I loved it, even when I was dead tired." Graduating from McHenry high school in 197V, she travelled to Arizona where she won a place in the Arizona Ballet theatre under the direction of the noted dancer, Kelly Brown. The company remained mostly in Phoenix, but Jenni did have the chance to tour the state with the company, and learn how to adapt from symphony hall stages to little make-shift stages on Indian reservations. While in the West she also had the chance to dance with th in their version of "The Nutcracker' She returned home this September and is once again working with Mrs. Svalander and th company, the Bicentennial Dance theatre. And what about the future, for this small town girl headed out into the fiercely competitive dance world? "For now I'm planning on a new experience, because I'll be working with a modern dance company from January to May of 1978. It's located in Quincy, 111., and should be pretty exciting. Modern dance will be a refreshing chaqp for me, but realty, classical baltot will always be my real love. After Qulncy, I plan to go to New York for awhile this summer. I want to continue performing and dancing as long aa I can, hut I know i'U ham to stop eventually. Dancers usually wear out at about at. That** for the strenuous performing, not ftr teaching rd like to teach then, because I love working wflh children. "I learn a lot from them," the says with her eyes twinkling, "because they have such open and vivid imaginations. Children are terribly creative, and ao many adults lose this. It's important for a performer to have a highly polished imagination." There is no danger that Jenni's imagination will go stale, simply because of hsr vivacity and her genuine interest in fife and in those around her. Thsn, too, her home life has been such that her parents have always encouraged their children to strike out in a definite direction and put their best sfforts into any project they undertake. Each of the six Lewan children has a specific interest that has developed into an adult occupation for the older ones. Her brother, Richard Jr., Is now studying medicine; her older sister, Christine, is an artist; and even younger sister, Mary, is studying voice. Music, of course, has been a big pert of Jenni's life, ), and she credits her family's encouraging this interest in music for keeping her dancing during the years of erratic training. "I've played the piano since I was 7, and now my latest bobby is the guitar, if Tm not playing music or dancing to it, I'm listening to it I think tic terribly. So many people think they're 'into it,* So many people think they're " their stereo a bit too loudly. I think there's mere to music than that But I it."

And this dark-eyed, dark-haired young beauty stands poised at the threshold of an exciting future. Frostbite Cold weather is back again and with it comes the health hazards that accompany subfreezing temperatures. An ever present winter danger in most of the United States is frostbite. Frostbite is, naturally; more of a problem in the northern states, but even in most of the south there are occasional periods of weather cold enough to nip unprotected noses and ch6€ks. The American Medical association points out that frostbite can be very painful, can result in amputations and can leave the victim hyper­ sensitive to cold for the rest of his or her life. In some ways the damage of frostbite is similar to a burn. Injuries to both deep and shallow tissue are com­ parable. First degree frostbite, like sunburn, is an injury to surface skin. It is likely to attack ears, toes, fingers, cheeks or nose. Second degree frostbite produces blisters as in second degree burns. In third degree frostbite the damage is deep tod much of the frozen part may be lost. Prevention is the best protection. This means being properly dressed in warm clothing, waterproof shoes, and heavy, dry socks, with good covering for head and ears. Keep clothing dry from both outside moisture and per­ spiration, and avoid tight clothing or garters that may restrict circulation Motorists traveling across country; in subfeezing weather are advised to have heavy clothing and shoes in the cAr, in the event of a breakdown and a necessary hike for help. If your auto is stalled in snow o* ice some distance from help, it may be safer to stay in the car than to walk a long distance in extreme cold in light clothing. The first signs of frostbite are "pins and needles" prickly feeling, and then numbness. The affected part will turn white or grey and later red. Groups such as the military often use the buddy system outdoors in severe weather. Each buddy watches the other's face for signs of frostbite. First aid possibilities are limited. Thawing of the tissue as soon as possible is the first consideration. This can best be accomplished by getting in­ doors into a warm room. Treat the frozen part gently and do not rub or massage it. The old technique of rubbing snow or ice water on the frozen spot does more harm than good by delaying thawing. Medical treatment is needed promptly. Control of the severe pain is required, and antibiotics and antitetanus injections may be needed if the skin is broken. Often the frozen skin will eventually slough off.
