APPLE COMPUTERS
In the contest, "Apples
for Students", the Super
S Food Stores chose Ap-
ple Computers to address
the growing need for more
computer equipment in
our primary and secon-
dary schools. Computer
literacy among students
is increasingly empha-
sized and grows more im-
portant each year. Work-
places and colleges are
more computerized than
ever and anyone
ested in helping our
local school to acquire
these Apple computers
and the software that
goes with them, may save
and drop off all Super S
store receipts to any
Harper teacher from now
until May 25, 1990.
Super S estimates it will
distribute about $300,000
in free computers and e-
quipment to area schools
who are participating in
this program. Elementary
Dear Harper Community,
I would really like to
thank you for contribut-
ing to the Harper FFA pig
and Iamb sale fund. It is
important to know that
the Harper Community sup-
ports the FFA. Without
the community’s support
the FFA would not be as
successful as they are.
The money I have made
from my project will be
used to pay ,my expenses.
I will also use some of
it for next year’s pro-
ject.
This is my first year in
the FFA. I really enjoy
it. I am looking forward
to being in the FFA next
year. I feel it is of ut-
most importance that the
Harper Community support
the FFA. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Robert Walker

Groundhog Day
Celebrated
Did the groundhog see his shadow?
Will we have six more weeks of
winter? Those answers will come on
Feb. 2 when we celebrate the popular
annual tradition of Groundhog Day.
Groundhog Day marks the emer-
gence of the groundhog, or wood-
chuck, from hibernation. According
to legend, if the sun is shining, it is
still winter and he returns under-
ground for another six weeks of sleep.
If it is cloudy, spring is coming, and
same any more he stays above ground.
Groundhog Day is recognized by
many towns in unique ways. Perhaps
the most well-known is the town of
Punxsutawney, Pa., whose citizens
make a trek each year to locate
“Punxsutawney Phil, king of the
