This the 17th day of October, 1973. OPal C. Hahn 10/18/2tc City Clerk I tered nurse, who because of her own life’s tragedies felt a great empathy for the older genera tion. r Ms. Curtin comes from a fam ly with close ties to all genera tions, and the memories of her own grandparents living a long, fruitful life caused her to write this book in fear that “mine will be the last generation to know old people as friends, to have a sense of what growing old means, to respect and un derstand man’s mortality and courage in the face of death. Mine may be the last genera tion to have a sense of living history, of stories passed from generation to generation, of identity established by family history.” Ms. Curtin outraged by the way society treats its elder citi zens — rich or poor, sick or well, in the hospital or| hotel, welfare offices or the street. She writes of Harry and Al, wino’s in their seventies who have drifted since the depres sion; of Letty, the “bag lady” who carries all her personal possessions with her at all times; of Mrs. Larson, a 96 year old intellectural who is mold ing in a convalescent home; of Aunt Jenny, the lonely loveless spinster who was rebelling against aging, and other oldsters who have lived varied life styles, socially, economically, educationally and religiously. In reading the book we are constantly being aware of old er people’s flights and plights with bureaucracy, social work ers, hospitals, hotels, doctors, nurses and in many cases, fam ilies. The book ends by pleading with the elderly to unite and organize to cope with the care of their remaining life and its problems.

From Rosman's Tiger Rag Is "No, No, A Thousand Times No," All We'll Hear? “Is Student Council really worth the big fun that goea into it every year?” Last year around election time, many student council members asked themselves this and many more questions. “What good have we done?” “The only thing that we ever hear is NO”. “Have we made any worth while contri butions to our school?” A review of the past year’s record reveals both successes and failures. Failures, however, are part of success, for what is most worth accomplishing is usually also most subject to failure. Among the council suc cess, one was Hippie Day. Then we had Sadie Hawkins Day which went over just as well, with a dance to match. Student Council also sponsored the Miss Sweetheart dance. With the help of a few lunch • line cutters the Council was able to keep the grounds fairly clean. Everybody had a great time on Field Day. and heard and caw a variety of assemblies. There were some No! Not No! projects, however. The coke machine, juke box, and field days monthly were some. State law forbids the coke machine, too much noise stopped any and all ideas of getting a juke box. As for the field days, it is still a good idea and there is no reason why we shouldn’t pursue the matter. This year the Council plans to do more and get more invol ed in all school activities. A new assembly program is being discussed. They plan to at tend workshops too. Really meaningful projects are those suggested to the council by students in the school. With more ideas brought before the council, more can be accomplished. The council is willing to try hard this year; they need some backing. If the student body gets behind its council. And maybe this yopr well hear Yes! Yes! Yes!
