Teachers Never Stop .Learning_=_ =='II By Sheila ~uang _ .

One never stops learning, least of all a teacher. While some teachers choose to expand their knowledge through self-enrich­ment, others often decide to pursue a more laborous, but perhaps a more fulfil)ing quest for know­ledge ... by going back to school!

Next year two Adams teach ers will be taking sabbatical leave from the South Bend Community School Corporation to pursue graduate studies. They . are Ms. Beverly Wills and Mr. William Blauvelt.

Ms. Wills teaches Spanish at Adams. She has been accepted into the Education Administrati9n and Supervision doctoral program at Ball State University and plan s to begin her studies this summer. There she will be taking courses and will be working on her dissertation.

Mr, •. Blauvelt who presentl y teaches Marketing and Distributiv e Education will be heading off to warmer clim te next September. He has been accepted at the Universit y of South Florida located in Tampa. He plans to take courses in Gujdance and Counseling. Mr. ,

Mr. Blauvelt ''

Ms. Wills

g1auvelt holds a M.a~ters Degree in Vocational Education. By' complet­ing these course s~ he ' hopi!'s- to eventually become involved in Vocational Counseling.

Both Ms : Wills and 'Mr. Blauvelt are looking forward ' to the changes and the challenges the new school year will bring. Each expressed that an individual should alwa}_'.s try to seek new and differ ent experienc es. As Mr. Blaucvelt put it , "It's a good idea for people to keep from getting stale. You need to step back and refresh yourself."

While they will certainly be having exciting years, both teachers said that they would miss their friends, relatives, colleagues and of course , the stud ents! Ms. Wills remarked with a smile, ''You can't interact with kids everyday and not get something out of it."

Mr. Blauvelt looks on the leave as a " new adventur e" and hopes to • come back with a fresh outlook. We at Adams wish both Ms. Wills and

· Mr. Blauvelt the best of luck in their work during the 1981-82 school year, and hope that it prove s to be an enjoyable, as 'well as a rewarding experience.

lf Athletes of the Month • · by Kerry Kinney

In the past month, several ath_letes from many different sports at Adams have reach_ed a fine degree of excellence in their respective sports. For this ; they should be recognized and com­mended. The~e athletes are: Dlk Carpenter, for his good efforts had achievements jn the 300 meter hurdles, which included an incredible 40:01 timing in this .event against Riley; Jeff SynpnJew-

. ski for his fine performance in the mile run, _which included a 4:32 timing in this event; Cory Forrest, for his good performance in the 200 meter relay, including a · 2:21 timing inark in · this event against Riley; and Paul Bivlhs, · who has consistently ranke<l in the top three

· finalists of the shot-put and discus field events in every meet so far

· ·this season, many times in the first-place position.

In Girls Track, senior Sherry Bot den deserves ample credit for her achievements in the relay and hurdles, scoring an excellent first-place in the . hurdle event. Freshman Shirley HemphW also

H~rdware -"\Lawn Supplies

deserves congratulations · for .her first-place ranking "in the Vi mile event and for her efforts in the mile event. Soph. Beth Carter also deserv.es mention for her fine efforts · in relays and hurdles.

In Girls Softball, Dina Jones is worthy of comment through her excellance in that sport as are Sandy Call, Shelly Jablonski, and Chris Allsop.

Finally, in Baseball: while there are several players very much worthy of comment, the most shining example of this is Rick Romeo, whose hitting power and scoring dive has helped to bring about a highly successful season · start for the Eagles.

In Soccer, Bob Funk, is excellent, scoring the decisive goal in its' slim 1-0 victory over Hammond Noll on April 10. Also deserving mention is Gene Horvath, who is an excellent goalie.

All in all, this seems to be a good start for the spring sports at Adams. The Tower wishes all the sports/clubs the best in keeping it this way.
