When i was an eighth grader my brother was a senior at the then largest High school in Indianapolis. School was not easy for him and his grades were not the Best. However in electrical shop he was tops. Be fore honors Day he received notification to appear on stage for an award. But As seniors often do he and several friends skipped a Day of class near the end of the school term and went swimming at a nearby Lake. My brother was suspended from school nol because he played Hooky bul because he would not name the others with him for the officials. The others were not suspended because they  As a result of his suspension my brother was no longer eligible for the shop award and it was Given to anole or student. He had earned the award and he de served in but As part of his punishment he did not receive  an eighth grader. I thought it was grossly unfair and to this Day i think the punishment was far greater than the crime called for. Interestingly enough my brother continued in Clicc Mirical work and today he is a will . Much sought after licensed electrician for an Csc cleric company in Indianapolis. There s More on the other Side of the Coin in my Junior year i was ill two different times during the first semester causing me to miss iwo weeks of school on each occasion.

My teacher however knowing thai the Quality of my sewing was a allowed me to stay after school one afternoon to com plete my last Gar Mcnol so Hal i would nol fail. Well i received the Home economics award in was special to me because 1 had determined four years earlier thai if my brother could t have the shop award then i would have the Home economics award. Had my Leacher nol had a sense of fairness that a Cal beyond the written rules it would not have been possible. I will never forget her. Elementary teacher Newburgh ind. C Universal press Syndicate
