The junior high wrestlers faced Abington Heights and posted a victory, upping their winning streak to 39. Congratu- lations to coaches Phil Lipski and Tom Williams. The cold weather has caused havoc at school. We had two late starts and a day off for snow. What a week! The theater lovers of the school are planning a trip to Bloomsburg to the Alvina Krause Theatre to see Suicide, a comedy. After the production, the students will enjoy a buffet at Hotel Magee. This is our third trip to see these perform- ers. Congressman Paul Kanjorski visited our school to award Mrs. dents with certificates for their study of the U.S. Constitution. The Congressman stayed with the class for a discussion of historical and contemporary events. The students enjoyed the time shared with our district legislator. The seniors are beginning to plan the Donkey Basketball Game. It will be held in late February. This game is one of the biggest fundraisers for the Washington, D.C. trip this spring. Please plan to support the funniest event of the year. Lake-Lehman Key Club is planning a busy month with many activities scheduled, including a dinner dance on January 23.

High honors for Dicton Ursinus College sweeper Sandy Dicton, who set a national field hockey record at Lake-Lehman in 1984, has added academic all-America honors to the on-the-field all-America award she won three weeks ago. Dicton, a junior from Shaver- town with a 3.7 average in mathematics, has been named to the Division I Academic All- America Team by the College Field Hockey Coaches Associa- tion. Dicton recently made the CFHCA all-America squad for her defensive play this season. Despite a 5-11-3 mark, Ursinus allowed only 27 goals in 19 games. Last month she was also named to the all-Philadelphia area team. Off the field, she ranked second in her class academi- cally, made the National Honor Society and found her way into ‘““Who’s Who in High Schools.” Band members selected Eighteen members from the ‘‘State and Atlantic Coast Champions’' Lake-Lehman High School Band have been selected to participate in the District.IX Band Festival.

You think, ‘‘That’s Junior Achieve- ment.” Well take a closer look. | Today’s JA is much more than an after-school activity. JA . teaches economic education to junior high and high school stu- dents right in the classroom, while retaining many of : the | traditional hands-on activities. This year, JA is striving to reach an ambitious goal-to show one million young people how America works. JA shows them i how the economy runs through one-on-one experiences with local business owners. Small-business men and women can serve as JA consul- ® tants in local schools by giving just two hours a week for nine to 18 weeks. Many local firms also help by paying for class- | room materials. "There are two programs for | business consultants to choose | from: Project Business, the eco- nomics program which supple- ments eighth or ninth grade social studies classes, gives most students their first taste of business. The high school pro- gram, Applied Economics, offers high school juniors and seniors hands-on experience. They create a mini-company | Mand operate it from capitaliza- tion to liquidation. They also run a simulated business with the help of a sophisticated com- puter program. “JA takes the fear out of the world we call business,” says S. Evan Weiner, a JA business consultant and president of Schmidt Construction Company in Colorado Springs, Colorado. “It allows young people to have a positive feeling about busi- ness.” That understanding comes ~ Mhrough showing students the inside of real businesses. We show them budgets, finan- cial data and engineering and construction data. We answer every single question they have. When they leave here, they understand how this business runs,’ says Weiner. Participating in JA is a win- win opportunity. Not only do the students learn, but those who serve as business consultants feel a sense of accomplishment. Young people today are look- ing for role models. The experi- ences that seasoned business owners bring into a classroom can change the course of a young life. We have the responsibility to RE a HE So A each our children how to func- tion in our society. This country ¥is making an admirable effort to ensure that all of our children can read. I've used this space many times to urge small-business people to get involved with k public policy issues. This time I £ urge small-business owners to help us achieve an even more important goal, to instill an understanding and appreciation of our economic system in our children. Help JA reach one million stu- dents this year. (John Sloan is President of the National Federation of Inde- | pendent Business, representing more than half a million small- business men and women and serves on Junior Achievement’s | National Board of Directors.)
