BIG BRDTHER Jerome Kater is a black brother, a brother to his younger brother, and is also the chairman of the Big Brother program in Centerville. Jerome started this program after hav- ing gained experience in Des Moines as a big brother. At this time, he didn't get a chance to get quite as involved with kids because of transportation difficulties. Last year, the Big Brother program faced initial problems, but created the spark of interest which Jerome needed to make the group a success. During this time Jerome recalls an incident at the Moravia Skating Rink which made him want to continue his ef- forts. It seems a little girl went up to him, touched his arm and asked, Is your color for real? Jerome saw a lack of understanding and awareness in this statement which he desired to change. Most people feel the program had been successful because of the help of individuals in Centerville. Mary Jewett assisted whenever needed. Dr. Poort helped with ideas and allowed use of the college van. Mr. Richard Kelley made a truck available to pick up kids for parties. Mr. Spry was the man they could go to if they were running short on anything. He was always willing to give a hand. These four people gave much of their time to help. Having 10-15 Big Brothers that helped and having 35-40 little brothers to handle created a real family feeling for everyone in- volved. 38 Above: Greg Cook and two little Indians.
