The revival of the Aunt Sarah program, which has been dormant for the past two years, has created new bonds between current student and alumnae/i. The nieces and aunts share similar personal and academic interests, as well as the experience of attending Wilson College. Students who sign up for an Aunt Sarah receive tokens of these common interests in the form of cards and letters, emails and surprise packages. Beginning on Feb. 19 in Lenfest Commons with handouts of free Girl Scout cookies, students could sign up for the program by lling out a simple form. So far 93 students signed up for this program, including a few men. The Aunt Sarah program was in place for many years, but several factors led to it dying off. Marybeth Formulare, Alumnae/I Relations Director thinks that the timing is perfect for the programs reemergence. The program went dormant a couple of years ago. The turnover rate in this ofce contributed to that, as well as a declining interest on the part of both parties. Some participants felt under appreciated, said Formulare. Also, there is a lot of work that goes into this. All of these things impact the programs continuity. Prior to the Commission on Shaping the Future of Wilson College, whose work culminated in the Board of Trustees vote to change several aspects of the college and to become a co-educational institution, interest in restarting the Aunt Sarah program emerged. Formulare was contacted by alumnae wishing to support students, and she decided to speed up the programs return.

The Commissions efforts reengaged a lot of alumnae/I for various reasons. Despite some of the tension between members of our community, they still want to reach out to support students, said Formulare. They share in the Wilson experience. Its not about the current issues, but something positive for both parties to share in. Diana Freedman 16 has interest in gaining an Aunt Sarah and understands the goal of the program. I am interested in it because its about encouragement. I think its nice to look forward to those little surprises, said Freedman. Formulare facilitates the exchanges between the program participants. Students and alumnae/I can remain anonymous, if they wish. Correspondence can come through my ofce and Ill make sure the recipient gets it, said Formulare. Sharon Falk 93 volunteers her time to organize alumnae/I outreach to students and pair students with their Aunt Sarah. I use the form that students ll out, but sometimes I just get a feel for who should be matched up together, said

Falk. Its about networking. Alumnae/I experiences might help students in their career. Falks own personal experiences with the program while a Wilson student motivate her. I want people to have memories like I have of my Aunt Sarah, said Falk. She would make these giant cookie platters for me and I would be very popular for a couple of days. Margaret Fasnacht 96 enjoys the idea of being an Aunt Sarah. When I rst arrived at college I received a witch tin for Halloween from my Aunt. It made me feel so good. I still have the tin today, said Fasnacht. Being on the recipient end I know how important those little gifts can be. If youre having a bad day, it can make a difference. I am happy to share with the students the same kind of kindness that was shown to me. The Aunt Sarah program remains open for enrollment to any student. In order for the program to succeed, students are expected to respond to their aunts in a timely and courteous manner. Contact Marybeth Formulare at marybeth.formulare@wilson.edu to register.

Say Hello to the New Billboard

Dear Wilson Community, As the editorial staff of The Wilson Billboard, our mission is to inform and entertain you with a newspaper that is sound in its objectivity and creative in its style. To aid us in this mission, over spring break we attended the College Media Associations national spring convention in New York City. The four day event gave students from schools across the country an opportunity to learn from professionals about every facet of media. Workshops educated attendees on a broad array of topics including print journalism, photography and broadcasting. Ideas presented reinforced traditional skills, but also introduced innovative methods and ideas to improve upon those skills. New ideas were introduced to help attendees think outside the box and discover new ways to imagine things. Lesley and I were inspired by many of these sessions and are already making changes to the Billboard to reect what we learned. One area we were inspired to change was the style and layout of the Billboard itself a daunting challenge. This will be an on-going process as we work to adjust different parts to nd what works best for the newspaper and for you, the reader. We are especially interested in getting your feedback and opinions on this new design. The more opinions and feedback we get, the more we can adapt and grow to ensure that we can produce a newspaper that best serves the Wilson community. There are a number of ways to connect with us here at the Billboard on our website, through Facebook, our e-mail, and even in person. We are very excited about what the future holds for the Billboard! Enthusiastically yours, Caileigh Oliver & Lesley Eichelberger L-R: Apprentice Editor Lesley Eichelberger and Editor-in-Chief Editor-in-Chief & Apprentice Editor Caileigh Oliver. The Wilson Billboard

Alumnae Consider Taking Legal Action Against College

search to support this. Alumnae believe that the Commissions focus on the possibility of going co-ed caused other potential avenues to be overlooked, ones that might have allowed Wilson to remain true to its history as a womens college. We havent addressed so many things that continue to hinder Wilson today, said Van Ness. The Boston, Mass.-based Preserve Wilson for Women Fund paying for the legal counsel continues to receive many donations from opponents of the vote. Donations currently total over $20,000, and group members believe a newly established PayPal account will cause an increase in donations. The college has not taken any pre-emptive action against the group of alumnae. There is currently no legal action against the College and we wont speculate about the possibility, stated Brian Speer, Vice President of Marketing and Communications. Alumnae have taken legal action against the college before a situation that makes Wilson unique from other colleges and universities. On Feb. 19, 1979, trustees voted to close the college at the end of the academic year. Alumnae, students, and supporters of the college protested and formed the Save Wilson committee. The group fundraised over $1 million to show support for the college and to pay for legal counsel. On Mar. 27, 1979, the committee led suit against the college to keep it from closing. Judge John W. Keller ruled in favor of the Save Wilson committee, saying that trustees didnt have the right to deviate so greatly from Wilsons charter without court approval. While the process and emotions around the issue are divisive, it is because so many people are passionate about Wilson. Nothing about this is easy, but that is true of anything that really matters - and Wilson really matters, said Van Ness in a recent Facebook post.

Legal counsel has been hired and a fund established to look into potential legal action against Wilson College, an alumna announced online on Feb. 17. Alumna Gretchen Van Ness states the legal counsel is looking to potentially challenge the Board of Trustees January vote to change several areas of the college. While many changes were approved, attention is focused on the change to a co-educational college. Yet according to Van Ness, that is not the main reason this group is seeking legal action. It is possible that Wilson will only thrive as a coed college, said Van Ness. But theres not enough re-

On Sat, Mar. 2, the Hunt Seat Team hosted their annual spring home show. The team used the show to honor those that are no longer with us. In this respect, they honored victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School December 2012 shooting and former professor Colonel Alfred Bud Kitts. Equestrian alumnae also attended to support the team. Many of them rode with Colonel Kitts when attending Wilson, and wanted to show respect. The rafe to raise money for the Newtown Memorial fund was a touching tribute, said Gina Hall, Hunt Seat Team Coach. I also believe that the Colonel Kitts tribute was tting for his legacy. The volunteer-based Newtown Memorial Fund raises money to provide nancial assistance to families impacted by the school shooting. The team originally planned

to only honor Sandy Hook victims when they rst started planning the show. The team always holds a rafe at their home shows, but this time they wanted the proceeds to go a worthy cause. The team decided on Sandy Hook because the tragedy touched all of team members in a different way. In conjunction with the rafe, the team decorated one of their jumps green and white, the colors of Sandy Hook. We were able to honor those who have fallen beautifully, said Allie Veach 14, team Captain. Each team member was assigned the name of one of the children and was asked to decorate a horseshoe in that childs honor. The team and other supportive campus community members wore green and white ribbons. Veach added, It was our great pleasure to do our best

to keep their memories alive. Colonel Kitts, who had passed away on Feb. 26, founded the Wilson equestrian program and helped to build the Hawthorne ring, the location of the show. It was nice to be able to host a show on the same day as his memorial, Hall said. It is the best tribute I could think of for his memory. In his honor a few alumnae actually dressed in the riding clothes that they wore with him. Others created a tri-fold poster board with pictures of him on it, including alumna Sharron Hanna 89. It was nice to add a tribute to Colonel Kitts, said Hanna. Our two goals for the day really seemed to mesh together. The memorial resonated with many students, and many said that they know they would not currently attend Wilson if the Colonel had not helped start the program.

Throughout the day team members showed in their respective classes and each member who competed placed in their class or classes. Some members jumped and rode at to earn their ribbons. While it was not enough to push them into a high place nish for the day against the other schools, both Hall and Veach agreed that the team performed better than expected. This show was exceptional on many levels, said Hall. Everyone on the team rode better than they have at any other show. Colleen Flynn 14 placed rst in her class and will move on to the regional show in April. Flynn qualied by placing in her class on Saturday. Points were accumulated throughout the show year starting in the Fall 2012 semester. The teams we were competing against also greatly enjoyed the show, said Hall.

Graduation Fair Prepares Seniors for Commencement Day

Graduating students have the opportunity to make the graduation process smoother at the rst ever Graduation Fair on Tue, Mar. 26. A committee of staff members, who help the senior class plan Commencement, teamed up with senior class representatives to create this event. The senior representatives told staff what they would like to see and the staff ran with those ideas. This was something we wanted to have, said Robin Herring, Assistant to the Vice President of Academic Affairs Dean. We wanted everyone to be prepared and have fun. The idea is to give seniors the information about graduation early enough so that students can plan their day. Staff understands that seniors have many different things on their plates, such as trying to nd a job and passing the last of their classes. They want to make sure that graduation is one less thing to worry about and that the day of commencement runs smoothly. The goal of the graduation fair is to help seniors get ready for the big day, a lot goes into graduation other than showing up and this fair is an opportunity to get ready for it, said Leslie Hoover 13. The committee talked to other schools in the area to nd out how their fairs operate. The staff learned that these schools make the day both informative and fun. They do this by bringing in different services and campus departments to the event. It will really help people to enjoy the day without having to worry about whether they took care of a small detail early enough, said Hoover. Various services will be available to the students in attendance, including several pre-ordering opportunities. Pictures Plus will take senior portraits all day at the fair. This is a rst for this

Commencement Flowers, a regional ower company that provides owers for the day of commencement, will also attend. I am looking forward to being able to setup things for graduation day. I think it will really help to alleviate stress on graduation day, said senior Liz Hart 13. A DVD of the Commencement ceremony is also available for students to pre-order. This DVD will cover the entire ceremony and eases the burden for family members that may not be close enough to attend in person. Members of the senior class who wish to attend Senior Bash can also sign-up for that event at the fair. College departments, like the Registrar, will also be in attendance for

students to discuss their futures. Academic programs regarding masters and graduate school programs will also be available to students We invited Career Development to help students and to offer some other representation, Herring said. Throughout the day, the bookstore will also have specials from 11:00 a.m. 1:30 p.m. and from 4:00 p.m. 6:30 p.m. Parents of students are also encouraged to attend and Herring believes it will make the day more effective. I must commend the senior class for stepping up to help with this, said Herring. I applaud them for their hard work with us. We started working together in the fall, instead of waiting for the spring semester. Students are encouraged to visit the campus website for up-to-date information regarding graduation, the College Fair and Commencement.

Math Dept. Combines Lectures with Online Lab

By MALLORY SUNDERLAND

The Wilson College Math Department is moving in a new direction. It is moving into the realm of online classes. The new classes are not strictly online, but rather a hybrid of an online class and a traditional classroom. The professor lectures like a traditional class, but all class work is done online. This includes tests and homework. There are currently two classes and 55 students within this structure. The online portion of the math classes is called MyMathLab. Students didnt have to buy a textbook, but only had to pay a fee to use the site. The site has video lectures, many helpful practice problems and even immediate assistance and feedback for students. Dr. Justin Lawrence rst began implementing this new system for the Math Department. I think the key benet for this is the fact that you have access to an awful lot of practice problems and for each practice problem you have instant feedback, said Lawrence While online seems to be the new trend, students have expressed some concerns about this transition. The homework is really an-

noying sometimes because of the way you have to type answers in, said Allisyn Mahaney 16. There is worry over how answers appear compared to traditional methods. In most math classes, partial credit is given for correct formats and answers. The online tools in MyMathLab, have different settings where parameters can be changed to allow partial credit for correct answers in multiple part questions. Another feature for both tests and homework is that answers can be slightly off (decimal places) and not count against the student. Online class work can have other issues. It went down on me one time. It was the night before it was due and I wasnt allowed to have anymore time I didnt get credit for that homework, said Mahaney. Server crashes can happen with internet sites, but the MyMathLab is hardly ever seen to be ofine. You very rarely see the website down outside of maintenance times, said Lawrence. Maintenance occurs only on weekends and during the early morning. If the website crashes at any other point, Lawrence is notied.

VMT Dog Wash Helps Students Practice Skills

By JISOO KIM

Do you have dogs at your house? Have you ever washed them in your house? If so, you know its a big deal and an even bigger mess. To help ease

this problem for dog owners, a dog wash event was held by the Veterinary Medical Technology (VMT) club on March 2 and 3. This event is one of two that the VMT club holds each semester and is one of the clubs biggest fundraisers.

The funds earned are used for their end of semester trips. There were many people who wanted their dogs washed, and the waiting line was long. Many breeds of dogs were there to get washed, dried, trimmed and their toenails clipped. VMT club members worked hard and looked tired, but they didnt lose their smiles. I really enjoyed myself doing the dog wash. I liked interacting with different kinds of dogs and working with everyone else to take care of the dogs, said Meta Porcella 14. However, sometimes the club members experience difculties. Victoria Alterio 13 has experienced trouble restraining dogs that do not cooperate easily. She also has witnessed owners that do not take care of their animals appropriately. Extreme wax build up and overgrown nails presents a challenge for the VMT crew, especially if the dogs are skittish. Doing this helps me interact with animals that I am not used to being around. This will help me in my eld of work after I graduate because the animals I'll be working with won't know me just like I won't

know them. It gives me the chance to increase my knowledge on handling animals and their reactions, said Alterio. There aren't many difculties, it just takes a little time to gure out what they like and do not like, said Porcella. Club members think this event is great for students to interact with the local community. It is also benecial to the community because they are getting a chance to meet some Wilson students and receive a valuable service, while supporting them. I feel this is a wonderful event that the clubs do because were helping the community, dogs and owners and putting Wilson College's name out, said Brandy Beiter 14. I think this is a great event. Not only does it provide people in the VMT club with a variety of dogs to work with, but it also allows the community to keep in touch with the VMT aspect of Wilson College. The people that do the dog wash may not be fully trained yet, but they care for dogs on an immense level and I'm sure people in the community see that, said Porcella.

New Collegiate Chapter of FFA Offers Students Diverse Experiences

Two women have followed their hearts and are encouraging others to do the same as they work to form a collegiate chapter of FFA. Founder Carolyn Lawrence 14 and Cofounder Daniele Riley 14 initiated the new club to promote their interest in agriculture at the end of the fall semester last year. Since then, a growing interest in all things agriculture around campus has led to a successful campaign by the two women for the Wilson chapter of FFA to become state and nationally chartered. We are still in the process of lling out the paperwork , once that happens, we will be able to compete in the various FFA events, said Lawrence.

Muhibbah Club members celebrate after performances.

Muhibbah Club held the annual Muhibbah Dinner on the evening of Mar. 2. Muhibbah is a Malaysian word meaning unity among nations. Various cuisines from countries such as Pakistan, Armenia, Japan, Thailand and Nepal were served along with beautiful and colorful dances which were performed in Laird Hall. Every year Muhibbah Dinner donates the money collected to a non-prot organization. This year they raised $500 to donate to IMA World Health Organi-

zation, which supplies and contributes safe motherhood kits to pregnant women in Africa. During the mid 1980s, Professor Harry Buck and his wife Esther used to host international students at their home where the students cooked their traditional food. Later their home became too small for the students so they shifted to the Jensen Dining Hall. Since then Muhibbah Club has been organizing Muhibbah Dinner to bring together the community.

Muhibbah Dinner has a large community following attracting people who have keen interest in the international relations and cuisines. Paul Miller, International Student and Scholar Services Director said, As I chat with Muhibbah Dinner guests, I note that many are world travelers and educators and they understand and appreciate the value of developing friendships with persons from out-

side the United States. Also, they appreciate the value Wilson College provides to the local community and want to support Wilson's programs. Miller added, This year we had the highest number of advance reservations in my six years as Muhibbah Club advisor. We normally can expect to have 24-50 'walk-ins' the evening of the Dinner. This year over 250 individuals viewed the performances in Laird Hall. There were 190 advance reservations for the dinner this year.

Students Build Homes During Alternative Spring Break in North Carolina

The Habitat for Humanity club members went on an Alternative Spring Break (ASB) trip to Raleigh, N.C. this year from Mar. 10 to 16. Twelve students, one staff member and Chaplain Rosie Magee took part in this program. Every spring break students have the chance to spend one week building homes for families in need. The Habitat for Humanity club needed nearly $4000 including program fees, transportation and food. Their annual auction raised around $2100. Apportionments from the Wilson College Government Association also support the club. One of the students who went on this trip, Neena Gurung 15 took part since she had no other plans for spring break. This is a great opportunity to learn and experience something new, said Gurung. Kisha Pradhan 15 wanted to do something new and different to utilize her time to the fullest. Im so caught up with my studies and work that I don't always get a chance to help others. This ASB program is one such opportunity where I can dedicate my own time, not for myself, but for people who are in need of help. It feels good to be able to be a part of such a program. said Pradhan. Magee enjoys being with the group. Various students participated this year, including international students and Women with Children students. The Habitat team received help from their host afliate (Wake County Habitat for Humanity) and church accommodations (Hilyer Memorial Church). Wake County is a large afliate, so there were several houses at various stages of construction which made for a variety of tasks and opportunities to learn new skills. Wake County Habitat for Humanity has the eighth largest Re-Store in the nation. At ReBy JISOO KIM

Stores people can buy building materials from deconstructed houses and all the money raised goes into providing affordable housing. The team worked with site supervisors including three AmeriCorps volunteers, all of whom were women. Raleigh is an interesting city and we were within walking distance from downtown in contrast to our usual more rural locations, said Magee. Lilia George 14 thought the trip went better than she expected in terms of cooperating with the other people and forming closer connections with other students. The trip was a learning experience for all. I learned that Habitat for Humanity does deconstruction, which in part supplies stores that are afliated with their organization called Restores, which are essentially Goodwill versions of Home Depot. The most empowering

things I learned on the trip, however, were how to use some power tools like circular saws and basic knowledge of how to construct a home. said George. I learned that repetitive hammering leads to very sore muscles! The annual ASB trip is very different than any other week in my year. I dont think of myself as a handy person so it feels good to know that I now know how to put up sheathing on a house and my painting skills have come a long way, said Magee. The trip was wonderful. The people who hosted us and took care of us in Raleigh, North Carolina were really hospitable. I am really proud of our Wilson team that I was with. All of us worked hard as a team. We contributed towards Habitat for Humanity's work, but took so much back in return in what we learnt through the entire process, said Jyotsna Dhakal 14.

The Wilson College Department of Fine Arts and Dance organized the Juried Student Art Exhibition 2013, which was held in the Bogigian Gallery from Feb. 27 Mar. 22. The Juror for this years exhibition was Holly Strayer, regional artist and art educator at the Chambersburg Area Senior High School. Bogigian Gallery Director Philip Lindsey and Chair of the Fine Arts Department Robert Dickson organized this years event. Wilson has been showing student work for decades; I dont really know how long exactly, probably as long as there has been an art department. We average about 100 visitors to the show and feel it is an excellent opportunity for our students to share their

THE MOVIE REVIEW

By JONATHAN CLARK

ter the famous salons of nineteenth century Paris, when the French government organized ofcial exhibits which were juried by respected artist/academics. These exhibits were of great importance as in that

time it was the only way for artists to present their work in public. All submitted work was displayed and rejected works were displayed in the Salon des Refuss in the exhibition so that the public may decide the place.

Wreck-It-Ralph is one of few solo Disney lms (without the assistance of the wizards at Pixar) of the past decade or so that actually works. It is an utterly charming lm that immerses the viewer in multiple video game worlds that truly feel like they came out of the respective genres each game originated from. The lm follows Ralph (John C. Reilly), a bad guy in an early 80s video arcade game called Fix It Felix Jr. who, after thirty years, is tired of being the villain. At a Bad-Anon meeting with other video game baddies, like the Pac-Man ghosts and Mario Brothers Bowser, he reveals his desire to be a hero which these not-so-badguys dont understand. At the thirtieth anniversary party for Fix It Felix Jr. where Ralph isnt invited, but still shows up to, he vows to win a medal (the ultimate sign ones a hero in video game worlds apparently) and game hops to a high-tech rst person shooter game called Heros Duty which doesnt work out too well. He takes a side-trip to another

Wreck-It-Ralph: We Need a Hero!

game, Sugar Rush, where he befriends another outcast video game character nicknamed the Glitch (Sarah Silverman) who is also trying to be a hero in her own game. Meanwhile, Felix (30 Rocks Jack McBrayer) is trying to nd Ralph to bring him back to their own game because hes realized without a villain he cant be a hero. The lm kind of acts like a video game themed retelling of Toy Story, where a world that doesnt exist is brought to life completely out of sight of human beings who think the arcade games are just metal and plastic. The animation (particularly the cubist world of Fix It Felix Jr.) and voice work are of the high standard youd expect from Disney. And the message of the movie is meaningful and touching, as most Disney lms usually present. As with most Disney and Pixar movies, Wreck-It-Ralph will appeal to both kids and adults. Its an enjoyable excursion youll be happy you took, even if you dont get a medal at the end of it.

New Cross Country Coach Hired, Begins Coaching in Fall

The Wilson College athletic department is pleased to name Joanna Hayes as the rst head coach of both the womens and mens cross country programs. She will immediately prepare for both programs debut in the NCAA Division III and the North Eastern Athletic Conference (NEAC) beginning in the Fall 2013. According to Athletic Director, Lori Frey, Joanna brings a wealth of knowledge and enthusiasm to our department as we expand opportunities for Wilsons student-athletes. She is up to the challenge of starting two new programs, and we are condent she will build a strong foundation for both the womens and mens teams, positioning them for long term success in the NEAC and Division III. Before taking the helm at Wilson, Hayes spent two years at Gettysburg College as the assistant track and eld coach. Serving as the teams jumps coach, Hayes helped coach several standout athletes for the Bullets. From 2009 to 2011, Hayes spent two seasons at Dickinson College, serving as an assistant for the cross country and track and eld programs. In the 2009-10 season, she helped coach the mens program to conference titles in cross country, indoor track and eld, and outdoor track and eld. That season Dickinson mens cross country team also nished fth at the NCAA Division III Championships. During her time at DickinBy BETH WEIXEL, ATHLETICS DEPARTMENT

son, she also helped coach the 2011 NCAA Division III champion in the 3,000-meter steeplechase, and the 2010 NCAA runner-up in the steeplechase and 5,000-meter run. Hayes graduated from Kutztown University in 2009 as a three-time Academic AllAmerican with a degree in leisure and sports studies. Hayes was a standout distance runner for the Golden Bears, making four NCAA Division II cross country championship appearances. She was also a four time all-conference and all-region selection during her time as a student-athlete. On the track, Hayes helped set several outdoor program records, including the distance medley relay, the 4x800-meter relay, the mile, and the 1,000-meter run.

Hayes is eager to take the helm of Wilsons newest sport offerings for student-athletes, and will begin by focusing on establishing traditions and building a positive team dynamic and culture for both programs. I am excited and honored to be named the head coach for Wilson College's men's and women's cross country teams. I am looking forward to building a strong foundation for these teams and helping studentathletes perform at a high level both on the cross country course and in the classroom, said Hayes. The last 14 years of my life have included competitive running in one form or another, and I'm excited to share my passion and experiences with Wilson College.

Archive Exhibit Entertains and Educates Amid Changes

Change is scary. As a rule, this is generally true. College Archivist, Amy Lucadamo is breaking rules and laughing in the face of fear with her newest exhibit, Change at Wilson College. Opening with a reception at 4pm on Thurs, Mar. 7 in the Hankey Center, the exhibit is set to coincide with Womens History Month. The exhibit features a surprisingly eclectic assortment of facts and artifacts that give the viewer a glimpse into the schools unique history. Lucadamo sees this reection as a tool to be used to evaluate the current theme of change that is spreading through campus. Obviously there is a lot of change coming to Wilson. I wanted to show the past, what has changed, been slow to change, or changes that never happened, said Lucadamo. This exhibit will be received differently for every person. I have no agenda, other than to connect current students to their schools history. Although Lucadamo denies that her exhibit was motivated by recent events concerning the school, she does admit that the nature of this exhibit and its timing make it especially appropriate. It was interesting to me that some of the ideas presented during the Commissions meetings were actually things that have happened before, said Lucadamo. These old ideas gain new relevance with time. The exhibit is organized into four categories: social change, curriculum changes, agents of change and proposed changes that didnt happen. It is this last category that Lucadamo nds most surprising. There are some really cool architectural plans for the school that never happened, said Lucadamo. There are plans for dormitories that are in a quad form and several other plans that would have made the school look dramatically different. Ashlee Yealy 15 assisted Lucadamo with preparing the exhibit. As part of her work-study position,

she helped with both the research and presentation of the materials for the exhibit. Im a history major. I think it is important to know about your schools history. Ours has been particularly interesting, said Yealy. People would nd the stories in the archives fascinating. Niki Ambrosio 16 also attended the exhibit reception. I think it is interesting to see how weve changed and progressed throughout the years, said Ambrosio. Aside from being entertaining, the archives held in the Hankey Center are immensely valuable for educational purposes. These materials are a collection that dates back to before the college was opened. Letters, records, pictures and any other kind of memorabilia offers students a chance to study more than just Wilsons history. A student from Shippensburg just nished using the archives for research. It is an asset to the campus and a big opportunity for an under-

graduate to have access to primary sources, said Lucadamo. Not every school has a repository like ours, but hardly any Wilson students utilize it. The Change at Wilson exhibit will be on display throughout the rest of the semester and the Hankey Center welcomes visitors daily. Visitors are encouraged to stop in at their convenience. To contact Amy Lucadamo about archive use, email her at amy.lucadamo@wilson.edu.

Barbara Bush 13, a member of the Women with Children Program, and her son Christopher Bush a 4th grader at Cumberland Valley Christian School (CVCS). On Fri, Mar. 1 parents and students joined in the schools auditorium for the 15th Annual Speech Meet. This was a big day for Chris. Speech Meet is an event that Karen Marsh, 2nd grade teacher, and Janet Bolich, 3rd grade teacher at CVCS organize for the school. Parents are encouraged to help students with memorization. A student with a good quality speaking voice can go on to bigger competitions in speech and drama. I have always enjoyed speech and drama, says Marsh. During Speech Meet students are graded on memorization of poems and Bible

verses, as well as inection in their voices and expression on their faces while delivering their speech. I am always amazed by the talent of these young children, to have to memorize and recite poems and Bible verses so well, they use their gifts from God in such a beautiful way, that many people get to see and hear, says Bolich. I agree with Mrs. Bolich, adds Marsh. As a nalist Christopher presented Ephesians chapter 6 verses 11 18 in front of peers, faculty and parents from pure memory. Speech Meet is good, great and fun. I enjoy playing football and basketball, but my favorite subject in school is religion, says Chris, who is participating for a second year in CVCSs Speech Meet.

I am proud of my son. CVCS is a great choice for families, says Bush. On Apr. 5 CVCSs will host an awards ceremony for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners; the participants will receive ribbons and certicates. At CVCS children get one on one attention which is very personable. The principal, Mr. McKee is wonderful and knows the students by name, says Bush. Chris talks about how much he enjoys going to the elementary school. You learn about God and the gym is better than the other school I attended, says Chris. CVCS is a college preparatory school that has been serving the Chambersburg communities with excellence in education since 1974. I was able to obtain a

scholarship for Christopher to attend C.V.C.S, and I am pleased with their small class size, says Bush. Christopher and his mother Barbara suggest that all children of the Women with Children mothers, who reach school age, attend Cumberland Valley Christian School.
