Do you have any information on it and can you provide a translation of the HOPE COLLEGE Latin words? Vol. 13, No. August 1981 A. The words of the song were written by the Rev. Henricus E.

She's a teacher,friend, and mother to 15 children.” "The school is the hub of a small commu- nity," said George Harper. "Everybodyin town shows up for the school's athletic events. A lot of other community programs usually take place in the school as well.” Alba and Mancelonaare not one room school houses filled with barefootedchildren, balancing slates on their knees, ala "Little House on the Prairie." Nor can these schools be easily com- pared with the school systems of a large city like Chicago, where the people and resourcesare very different from those found in a small town. The Alba gnd Mancelona schools incorporate characteristics of both the city and the one room school. Such a school system, a modern school set in a rural area, places unique demands on its teachers. These are some of the demands Hope students have noted.

Jill Dame: "'You need to go beyond the classroom." George Harper: "You do your best to open the door of the students'mind to things beyond their small community.” Pam Heemstra: "You have to be a multi-purpose person, knowing how to do a lot of different things.” Frea Westervelt: "Sometimes, you have to be more creative, because you simply don't have access to the facilitiesor suppliesof a larger school district." Teresa Morency: "You have to be able to tol- erate working with a few people over a long period of time." Jane Morey: "There’s an emotional involve- ment between a student and a teacher in a small school that you're more aware of — you have to learn to deal with it."

The objective of Dr. Schackow's "Rural Edu- Small Town Schools cation" program is to give the student a chance to teach in a real classroom situation ; he also hopes the experience will make the student aware of other lifestyles. "Sometimes you get caught in a particular socio-economic set," explained Dr. Schackow.

Hope students "relieve" the Mancelona and Alba teachers by providing classroom assistance for the last three weeks of the school year. The students also work with athletic teams, go on field trips with their classes, and attend local churches.Are their efforts appreciated?Ask Mr. John Ficktner,the principal of Mancelona's modern elementary school. "This year I had twice as many requests for Hope students than there were students to fill the requests. On the first day of the school year, I had teacherscome up to me and say, 'Don't forget, I didn't have a Hope student last year — how was your summer, John?' " Teachers in both school systems describedthe program as "super," "tremendous,""a real lift at the end of the year." "Their excitement has rubbed off on me,” said the Mancelona teacher Ms. Daryl Allison Gamble. "My response is to give them the best experience I can ; it works both ways." Mrs. Jan Korr, another Mancelona elementary teacher added, "1 give Carl a lot of credit for the quality of student teachershe brings to us. They're really a sincere group of workers."

by James R. Bekkering

"How do I decide which college to attend?"

This is a questionraised by most college bound young people about to enter the eleventh and twelfth grades. When advising prospectivestudents on that issue, I encourage them to look earnestlyfor a good "match" or "fit" as they investigatecol- leges. This requires that they analyze their own interests and abilitiesin relation to at least four dimensions associatedwith college study: 1)

academic climate and facilities ; 2) social climate; 3) religious climate;4) the type of commu- nity in which the college is located. I wish to address them individually. lisp Academic Climate

There are two related questions of particular importance inquiring students should address W'Z' when they study the academic climate of a col- lege. First, does the college offer top quality opportunity for intensive study and career prep- aration in the area(s) of interest held by the student?Secondly, and perhaps more significant because more students fall into this category, will the academic program accommodate stu- dents who are unsure concerning academic and mk career interest and wish to do some exploring?In regard to these questions,it is profitable for high ;#r school students to seriouslyconsider with their parents the total scope of the academic experi- ence desired:is a narrower technical training . fev'v or broader education experience desired, and does the college under considerationoffer that dimension? Breadth and depth of the curriculum is mm, ii another important issue. Although high school students normally are not prepared to critically analyze curricular offerings, they can make ialfe¥ some good comparisons by checking course of- ferings in college catalogs. Another good inves- tigative technique is to inqure of faculty regard- ing the breadth of specializations offered by var- m ious departments and the opportunitiesfor in- depth study, should a particular department be selected for an academic major. Closely tied to this issue are the likelihood of personal interac- tion with professorsand size of classes, dimen- sions of academic life which vary widely among best when they and their studentswork together their own initiative? make and options from which to choose.
