Edward A. Hill, Fleetwood,
will present a program entitled
“Interpretations of Nature” at
the Lititz Woman’s Club meet­ing
which will be held at the
Lutheran Education Building,
Monday, January 18 at 8 p.m.
Hill is a unique personality,
a poet and philosopher who has
vividly harnessed his dreaming
to the modern science of color
photography. Through this rare
combination of genius, he pro­jects
against his superbly life­like
color screen the thoughts,
the moods, the dramatic acts of
man and the world of wonders
in which he lives.
Arrested by his unseen hand,
time stands still, capturing na­ture’s
processes in suspended
glory. And by a turn of the
same magic, time is made to fly,
revealing in mere minutes the
painstaking miracles of life.
His unique talents have long
been recognized and in 1949
they were rewarded by an asso-ciatesship
(APSA) conferred by
the Photographic Society of
America. According to Who’s
Who in Photography, he is top­ped
the list in both 1949 and
1950 for having more color na­ture
photographs exhibited than
any other photograhper. He is
also a member of the Pennsyl­vania
Academy of Science, The
Chicago Nature Club, Hawk
Mountain Sanctuary Associa­tion
and others.
His color pictures will offer
a novel experience that will lift
you high from a humdrum ac­ceptance
of life’s routine to
unsurpassed emotional thrills
and spiritual excitement.

The New Middle School Concept
Editors Note: Tliis article is
one of a series from school of­ficials
that will explain the new
middle school concept. We are
publishing it in order to help
educate the public prior to the
opening of the new s/chool
scheduled for this fall.
The Middle School is, as the
name suggests, an intermediate
school, a school between two
other schools — elementary
and high school. The new mid­dle
school will have a sense of
innovation, of adaptability, of
coming a bit closer than past ef­forts
to meeting the needs and
potential of children ages 11 to
13.
Through its physical layout
and instructional program, the
new middle school will take

Use-Abuse Of Drugs Major Concern
The use and abuse of drugs
are now issues of major con­cern
and consequently are the
target of intense publicity. Dra­matic
accounts of the abuse of
some drugs have overshadowed
the extensive benefits of most
drugs. The extent of drug use,
sensational stories of abuse and
reports of catastrophic episodes ■
involving drug abusers have led
to widespread misinformation
about drugs.
Two questions are often
raised locally regarding the
drug education program.
1. Is there really a drug
abuse problem in Warwick?
'2 .1 s it necessary to begin a
drug education program in
kindergarten and continue it
each year?
To answer the first qquestion
— Yes — If one person is abus­ing
drugs then there is in fact,
a problem. If illicit drugs are
available at this time, there is a
problem. The main concern
however, is the likelihood that
Warwick students regardless of
local conditions at the present
time will likely be confronted
with personal decisions involv­ing
drugs at some point in their
lives.
Secondly — It is important to
begin drug education early in
elementary school. The main
goal of the program is to as­sist
young people in forming
values. This can best be done
gradually over a long period of
time.
Generally these basic con­cepts
will be developed in the
Warwick program:
1. Drugs, in legal products,
are medical tools that may have
many benefits when properly
used.
2. Drugs and other substan­ces
are used for many reasons.
3. Drugs and other substan­ces,
if misused, may be harmful.
4. Drugs may be classified ac­cording
to their effects.
5. Production, distribution
and use of drugs are controlled
by law.
6. Behavior patterns of the
individual influence present
and future health.
7. Individual acceptance of
responsibility is essential to the
wise use of drugs.
8. Health is the result of the
interaction of the physical with
the intellectual, emotional and
social areas of human develop­ment.
better account of the individual
needs and abilities of the be­tween
age group youngsters,
use and further study of variety
of instructional innovations and
groupings.
The new middle school will
emphasize flexibility where stu­dents
are encouraged to explore
subjects on their own with ref­erence
work tailored to particu­lar
student needs.
In the present school, we find
that students are ready and
eager for experiences that are
different from those they had in
the elementary schools. They
are not quite ready for high
school experiences or those
normally associated with the
junior high school.
Pupils in the new middle
school will be given an oppor­tunity
to become more indepen­dent
s they continue in the total
middle school program. The
first year will provide a transi­tional
period as the children
come from the self-continued
classrooms of the elementary
school.
Students in the second and
third year will have an oppor­tunity
for more independent
and guided study utilizing large
and small group instruction.
This program will enable a bet­ter
transition for the flexible
scheduling used in the high
school.
An atmosphere for extension
of basic skills, appreciation,
knowledge and attitudes in
meaningful situations will be
provided. There will be plan­ned
social functions appropriate
for this age group and no acti­vities
of an advanced social na­ture.
The new middle school should
be an exciting venture in educa­tion,
one which will provide a
staff, program, and a school
building which will help each
child meet with the highest suc­cess
in learning and working
with others of his age group.

the program is Miss Ruth

Miss Frantz attended the
Lancaster County Reading Cen­ter,
which offers teachers excel­lent
courses on remedial read­ing
techniques.
Two years ago she became
the reading teacher for the Ele­mentary

for testing all children in
the second grade so that they
can be assigned to the proper
reading level of instruction.
Among her responsibilities is
tutoring second graders either
in small groups or individually.
On January 11, the PTA also
sponsored a puppet show given
by the Luft Studios of Werners-ville.
Robert Heron, school prin­cipal,
introduced the puppeteers
and told the children that the
puppet show was made possible
by the funds raised at the festi­val
last year.
