She too is 22 and a graduate of Fort Hayes. Sewing and cooking are just two of her interests. She expressed herself precisely by saying, “Through the media, everyone knows what is taking place.

She had ix way of knowing that the buffei was feeling unfriendly and be- fore she knew It, she was attacks by it—the handle coming In shan contact with her nose, leavtnf her with a bloody nose and ai time has gone by two slight!; blackened eyes. The buffer has been sent ti Mr. Cox’s office for proper dis- ciplining. From The Principal's Desk Jaycees Honor Russell Outstanding Young Educator miiitttt ffff ... Teachers Sponsor Club It has just been brought to the attention of the Pow Wow staff that we have a new Scho- lastic Club added to our school and we would like to recognize It. The name of the new club is the Bonner Business Club, The teacher sponsors are Mrs. Wanklyn and Mrs. French, both business teachers. Officers elected were Richard Lee as I president, Brad Hammel as vice president and Carrol Pettit as secretary-treasurer. This new club meets once or twice a month during the first activity period and deals with all business classes. The foun- ders of the club so to say, are Mrs. Wankly n and Mrs. French, who decided that it would further the interest of the business stu- dents and their future prospects in some sort of office work Mr. Stephens was the guest speaker of the last Bonner Business Club meeting and told about his Distributive Education class and how the students en- rolledenjqyedit. We are into the third week of our 1972-73 school year. Witt a capacity enrollment, a fine faculty and an expanded curriculum, we seem to be off to a great start. Along with the cooperatior of the students and the efforts of the teachers, we have been able to include more of the business community into our system. Their cooperation has offered new opportunities to the students for educational programs which give them real career opportunities. Needless to say we are proud of this progress and we can look forward to more. Progress such as this makes the school com- munity a real part of the entire community. But this progress brings responsibilities. Students must perform to the best of their ability in order for these programs to continue. I would like to say toall of you, .students, teachers, and program cooperators, welcome to a good school year. Teacher Becomes Father To announce the birth of his new born son Mr. Dennis Wilson proudly passed out pink, blue, purple, and green cigars (bubble gum). As the new father passed out the cigars there were shouts of I'll trade you this color for that color,” “ let me shake your hand” and “congradulations.” Mr. Wilson and his wife Jo- anna, named their new baby Luke Anthony. There is one proud art tea- cher smiling his way through his classes and the halls—Mr. Wesley Lewis!! You see, Mr. Lewis became the father of an eight pound 2 1 2 ounce baby boy on Sept. 4. Wesley Clyde Jr. arrived at theOlatne Community Hospital at 7:30 in the morning. He selected the Labor Day hol- iday to arrive—in order to keep his father from becoming too nervous.
