Talk about the lunch menu! But the purpose of education is to con- agers reflect their attitudes in their music, Junk Food Junkie was on the top ten this year. There is an old waying that you are what you ear. Fighting Battles: A British offi- cer was believed to have said that if they destroyed all the men in North America, they should have enough to do to conquer the Women. They met with an underestimated foe. Raised in rugged settlements with many hazards and hardships, colonial women fought with their men for America's independence. In history books the subject of Mol- ly Pitcher and Betsy Ross is usually lightly touched upon. There were many others who carried the cause. Deborah Sampson in her early twenties, enlisted in the Contin- tinue to grow and to meet the needs of the people. Things are very different since the early days in America.

Of course everyone knows Shakey's on 6th is the rendezvous spot. Things are looking up in town. A new Angelo's is coming to the Shopping Plaza. American teen- 11 captured three British soldiers. After murdering a neighbor farmer, five soldiers came to the Hart Cabin and commanded food. Using her wits, she sent her daugh- ter for water and to signal the area patriots. Then she gave the exam- ple of a frightened hostess, while her company was not watching, she slipped two muskets through a crack in the cabin wall. Caught in the act, she shot one advancing Englishman, wounded another one, and held three at bay until the pa- triots arrived.
