Any leisure time he finds is spent on a farm near Gosport, Indiana. He keeps up to date on the latest agricultural news by belonging to the City Farmer ' s Club in Lake County. As an apiculturist. he pleases his friends and neighbors by presenting them at various times with jars of honey. As well as reading extensively on the culture of bees, he likes the more factual type of books and is interested in philosophy.

LEW WALLAEE ADVISI1RY EOLNEIL The Lew Wallace Advisory Council has been functioning for the benefit of the students of Lew Wallace for fourteen years. This group is composed of public spirited Glen Park residents who are interested in the affairs of the student body because they have children attending this school. In choosing the members of the council the Glen Park distric t is divided into eight sec¬ tions with at least one, if not more, representatives from each. There are usually two or three members at large. This assures representation from all parts of the Lew Wallace School district. Prospective councilors are recommended by the current members of the council and are then invited by the school administrators to become members. Councilors serve for a term of one year—one half complete their term and are replaced in February and the other half finish in June. The advisory council is part of Superintendent Charles I). Lutz ' s plan for community participation in the affairs of the school and the students. Working with Miss Hoke and Mr. Asher in monthly luncheon meetings, the council talks over any type of question that may arise concerning the students. Among the many kinds of questions discussed are juvenile delinquency, withdrawals, problems of students who work part time, misunderstandings between the students and teach¬ ers, and improvements in the school. The aim of the group is to bring together school administrators, parents, teachers, and alumni to help promote a better understanding among these people, the students, and the community in general. —Mary Su tira. 11
