YOU KNOW ME
BY
Al, Himself
= EE
We received an invitation from
George Taylor, principal of Lake
Township School, to join the Par-
ent-Teacher Association. We ex-
plained ‘that we have no kids in
school but would join to help out,
because if there is anything we like
better than anything else, it’s kids.
The younger generation needs all
the adult support it can get. There
‘are so many of us who jump all
over _them for what Al, himself
considers doesn’t amount to a row
of pins. When we first began read-
ing we used to buy the nickel mag-
azines then on sale at all cigar
stores which featured “Dead Eye
Dick”, “The Liberty Boys of '76,”
and the ‘Nick Carter” detective
stories. How grownups ridiculed us
for “wasting” money on such
“trash”.
When moving pictures were first
introduced they were shown out-
doors, just as we are getting back
to now. It cost five cents to view
them and only kids went to the
movies. They were called nicklod-
ians by the grownups, with a dis-
gusting emphasis on the nickel that
made all us kids with -a five cent
piece feel like criminals,
We sneaked off to the nicklodians
and told the folks about it after-
ward. We hid the magazines in the
pages of our geography books and
read them while ~ pretending to
study.
Juvenile delinquency was unheard
of in those days, we were just rec-
ognized as incorrigibles. But these
incorrigibles grew up and won the
first world war. A generation or
two later another group of young-
sters struggled through a period of
criticism from us grownups and by
dinged if they didn’t give a good
account of themselves in another
world war.
So, we like kids.
Now they're reading the funtige
It's terrible. We don’t know what
is to become of them, unless they
mature strong enough to protect
their elders in possibly
world war.
As for us, we are betting on the
kids.
We are glad that we joined the
Lake Township Parent-Teachers’
Association not only because we
heard Clarence J. Ollendike, Area
President, give an interesting talk,
but because we were privileged to
go through the school, with the
teachers and pupils present and see
their wonderful work. We learned a
lot about the good things that are
happening to our younger genera-
tion.
What impressed us were the ex-
amples of finger painting. Some of
the displays of this recently dis-
covered art could be exhibited any-
where . without disgracing our
“school. This work starts in the first
class and continues to first year
high school. It is taught without
depriving the student of time for
three R's and other subjects that
have been added since we carried
our “best girl's” books home.
Finger painting is taken up more
seriously in the fourth, fifth and
sixth grades under tutelage of
Mrs. Raymond Garinger, art teach-
er. This year, Mrs. Harry Allen, who
took a course in finger painting at
Y.M.H.A., informed the teachers
see, this art is comparatively new
in our school, but to witness some
of the kids’ exhibits, even in the
lower -grades, one would think that
it had been a part of their curric-
ulum for years,
Then there are the boys’ work
shop and the girls’ home economics
room. Despite the fact that instruc-
tor Conway Paden is handicapped
by insufficient machinery, the boys
turn out some wonderful material.
The kids are learning. To write
constructively about the home ec-
onomics room is impossible, One
has to fall back on the remarks of
the real estate advertisers: “it has
to be seen to be appreciated.” The
room has everything: = Up-to-date
gas and electric cook stoves, iron-
ing mangles, dishwashers, electric
sewing machines and plastic plates
that cannot be broken. Miss Mar-
garet Luckasavage has instilled in
her pupils’ a pride that is only ex-
celled by our principal for the whole
school, and both have something to
brag about.
Senior Home Economics students
proudly presented a sketch of their
amblem “home economics”, and
when they later displayed their
cakes and dresses made in the room
—the glow in their faces showed all
of us. that we do not have to worry
about the younger generation. The
girls in the skit were: Treva Traver,
Eleanor Butler, Faye Smith, Leoma
Hosay, Marjorie Wolfe, Jean Gray,
Sallie Kostich, and Sally Roberts.
We hope there will be no more
wars, but if there are, we place our
faith in these kids. Let's help them
and guide them by joining P.T.A.’s.
Let's build them a center where
they can play ping pong, basket-
ball, bowl, shuffleboard. Let's put
television in the churches so kids
can have a good time. Let's stick by
the kids for they are the only ones
that can show us the way to a fu-
ture as good as the past we have
had and the present which we
now enjoy.
