The school of tes for six weeks throughout the summer with students from Perth County attending one three-week session and students from Huron County attending the other three-week session. The Dublin school is now midway through the second session. And although the program is refer- red to as school, according to project coordinator Lucille Delaney, it is unlike the typical school setting. "It's more flexible. There is more concrete hands-on learning ex- perience," she said. Miss Delaney added that students SHOP SAVE!!! SAVE!!! SAVE!!! Hilroy "Note Tote" 1" Binder 1 Available NOW in PAST L COI OUTS!!!

"The students who are here are usually the ones who don't like school during the year, either because they're bored or having difficulty. But they like summer school," she said. "Summer school is more laid back. Everything is made to be fun. It's a stressless environment where the teachers try to reinforce what the students have learned throughout the regular school year." Students in the enrichment part of the program must be classified as gifted in order to attend. They are generally recommended to the school by their regular school teacher. Those students in the special needs group are usually there by teacher and -or parent request. This year those students in the enrichment program are studying dramatic arts, where the emphasis is on the Shakespearean era and students will see a Shakespearean play, create their own puppets and write and produce their own puppet show; and computers. Enrichment students are in grade 5 or highter. Students in the special needs pro- gram range in grades from kindergarten to 7, and study such sub- jects as math, language arts, physical education and literature. The school sported six teachers dur- ing the first session and five during the second session. The teachers are generally young, with most having just completed teacher's college. Each teacher is assisted by a teacher's aide. Miss Delaney, as well as principal, Ed Cappelli, help out wherever and whenever they are needed. The school is free and students who attend are bussed to and from their destination daily from- designated pick-up spots throughout the two counties. Peter's point Continued from page 4 somewhat in the manner of Pollock or Riopelle. And his col- lages remind me of Hans Arp. But he can also be expressive. When one of our basement win- dows got broken by persons unknown, Duncan produced a picture showing a dark cloud, a mud puddle, several large sticks, a short, single line (which he ex- plained as a small person) and a chaotic tangle of crosses and jagged fragments (a broken win- dow). We can't possibly throw that away, can we? Sb Elizabeth sorts things out, pastes things into scrapbooks, povides names and dates. She puts things into files and boxes and wishes she would win a lot- tery, so she could have the barn built right away. In it we would have room to display everything. There would be forty-five cubicles, one for each year from junior kindergarten to grade thir- teen for each child.•And in the loft, space would be provided for all the research projects, term papers and theses that will be generated id whatever institutes of learning the kids might attend after high school. Seriously, though: what do you do with the stuff your kids bring home? All progress is based on a universal innate desire on the part of every organism to live beyond.its income.
