There is a brand new ‘Old
Glory” flying high above the
Jackson Township Fire Hall
these days, a gift from
Congressman Dan Flood to the
Women’s Auxiliary of the Fire
Company. This flag officially
flew over the U. S. Capitol, Feb.
23. It comes at a time when the
many televised scenes of
returning POWs have so
dramatically increased our
pride in all that our flag stands
for, and replaces a previous flag
given by Congressman Flood
some years ago.
Some of that same pride
rubbed off on the students of the
eighth grade at Lake-Lehman
High School recently. Florence
Worth assigned her history
classes a study section on
ecology. One student, Eric
Long, made such an interesting
speech on recycling paper that
he generated the enthusiasm of
the ‘whole class for such a
project. Our neighbors, Libby
Marshall, daughter of Mary
Marshall, and Daphne Veras,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
James Veras, are planning to
collect papers saved for them
by neighbors on Sutton Road. To
further save our resources they
will not use a car but rather
they will each pull a little red
wagon for their collection.
The class hopes to recycle
about five tons of paper. The
money they realize will be used
to buy trees for their school
ground. Anyone who would like
to contribute papers (no maga-
zines please), may bring them
to the Lake-Lehman High
School, April 7, between 8 a. m.
and 10 a. m.
Mr. and Mrs. Craig Kittle and
daughter, Amy, have moved to
a home on Palmer Road,
Jackson Township. Craig is the
son of Mr. and Mrs. Harold
Kittle of Huntsville Road, Chase
Corners.
Donn Innes has returned to
the Westminister School, Sims-
bury, Conn., after having spent
his spring vacation at the home
of his parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Donn Innes of Sutton Road.

In addition to the 20 percent
benefit increase that was
enacted, Sen. Wood noted, a
major revision of the law
enacted last October brought
hundreds of important changes.
The Senator added that
changes, effective in 1973, in-
cluded higher benefits for
widows and widowers; a more
favorable retirement test for
those who work after starting to
get benefits; higher tax rates.
He also reminds senior
citizens that beginning in July,
persons who have been
receiving disability benefits for
two years or more can get
Medicare.
Booklets will be available at
area court houses, municipal
buildings, banks, super-
markets, varied business estab-
lishments and other public
buildings. Persons unable to
pick up a booklet at one of the
public places are invited to send
arequest to Sen. Wood, Box 628,

For “Up The
A performance of ‘‘Up the
Down Staircase’’ will be
presented by the junior class of
Lake-Lehman High School,
March 30 at 8 p.m. in the high
school ‘auditorium.
This full-length comedy
provides a refreshing unique-
ness through the use of a simple
stage setting and witty lines to
develop a plot revolving around
the trials and tribulations of a
young teacher’s first teaching
experience.
The leading role of Sylvia
Barrett, the aspiring, sensitive
teacher so eager to ‘make a
good impression,’ is portrayed
by Kathy Yockavitch. Sylvia’s
ability to spoof at the ludicrous
school system of Calvin
Coolidge High School proves to
be a redeeming quality in an
10.
atmosphere where continuous
attempts to arrest the disorgan-
ization of the system only breed
more disorganization.
Jane Salansky takes the role
of Bea Schaffer, Sylvia’s loyal
confidant and fellow teacher
who speaks with a gentle voice
of experience to encourage
Sylvia when she begins to doubt
her teaching ability.
Playing the part of J.J.
McHabe, administrative assist-
ant of the high school, with all
the necessary forcefulness, is
Mark Wallo. Seeing his endless
administrative duties, J.J.
McHabe reasons that only the
strictest of disciplinary mea-
sures will enable him to ac-
complish these duties.
The role of Joe Ferone, an
explosive student rebel, is taken
Jy Sam Brown. His touching
breakthrough in communica-
tion with Sylvia marks one of
the most dramatic moments of
the play.
The forces of hostility and
insecurity are possessed by
many of the students. They are
starved for someone to express
true concern for them. Sylvia
Barrett proves to be this person.
the list of characters. They are
school employees, each with a
harassed and confused aura of
never having enough time.
Faculty advisor, Mr. Wilec-
zewski, and student director,
Sally King, along with a
backstage crew, are helping to
make possible a successful
dramatic presentation of “Up
the Down Staircase.”
