Most youngsters consider a
visit at the Fred Braun farm
on Bemis Rd. to be a complete treat. There they can
see how the milk they drink
is produced and processed
. . . and city youngsters especially can see" something
which often seems as strange
to them as life on the moon:
life on the farm. It's a treat,
all right ... but Mrs. Braun
never figures the visit is
complete- until the children
have lined up at her table
just outside the barn . . . and
enjoyed her cookies and
drinks. The youngsters of
Saline Storybook Gardens
nursery school are the latest
group   to   enjoy   the  Braun
hospitality.

The Reporter's story last
week on Jan Austin and Beth
Volz, winners of U-M Regents - Alumni Scholarships,
didn't do the two girls justice. It failed to make mention of their honor point averages. Their averages, built
up during their high school
years, are so impressive that
Principal Paul Thibault was
hard-pressed for words to describe them. But he tried:
"Both girls are so close to a
straight-A . average that it's
just a matter of a decimal
and some semantic hair-splitting that keeps Beth and Jan
from being classed as all-A."

Band Director Dave Wolter
barely missed having a baby
on Mother's Day'. . . or, to
phrase the story more precisely, his wife did. The baby
arrived in the wee hours on
Monday . . . and not long after that, one of the Houghton Elementary band mothers heated up her oven and
baked a cake for the new parents. It was presented to
Dave at the Houghton Band
and Choral Concert Tuesday
night . . . and the hne that
brought down the house was
this command from one of
the boys in the brass section
when he made the cake nre-
sentation: "Be sure to feed
some of it to the baby!"

In two days of iet action
this week, Walter Martin and
his crew transformed the
front of The Reporter build-
inc from its former "mid-
1940's" style of architecture
to something along colonial
lines. Some finishing touches
remain to be done . . . painting, lamps to be hung at the
corners, a sign above, and
some instant geraniums for
the flower boxes . . .but the
job at this stage represents
some fine workmanship on
the part of Martin and his
men. '
