Kindergarten celebrated
the 100th day of school Mon-
day. January 22. We counted
100 things for snacks and each
child brought 100 "some-
things." We made a 100-foot
snake and "100 glasses." We
paraded up and down the
halls singing our TOO songs
for everyone and carrying our
neat. 100 Fun Days of School
banner. We counted to 100 by
ones and fives and-tens.

Mrs. Hise's sixth grade sci-
ence classes attended a pro-
gram, "In Concert with the
Environment," given byBlane
Kelly from TXU Electric and
Gas. "In Concert" is an energy
awareness program that the
students can practice in their
homes to conserve both elec-
trical and gas energy.
Kelly, with the students'
help, demonstrated low-flow
shower heads, fluorescent
lighting, recycling, safety and
conservation. The students
had the opportunity to use
their own energy to power a
television set by riding a bi-
cycle attached to a generator.
Ask a sixth grader how long
they could power the televi-
sion.

pher and author of Watt Mat-
thews of Lambsheud, her first
book, published in 1989. The
book is now in-its fourth print-

Texas history.
Hutterites of Mon tana is the.
culmination of 14 years of work
by Wilson, who became fasci-
nated with the group in the mid-
eighties, while she was collabo-
rating with Richard Avedon on
a book.about the American West.
"Right from the first, I knew I

Jones emphi sized that the grant
money which keeps the center
alive would not be available
without the support of t he citi
zens in the area who contribute
both financially and with volun-
teer efforts.

"We have three emphases for
this open house to give the
public exposure t o the programs
we offer, to show our new look,
and to thank those who have
helped-us make these changes,"
said Jones. ' •
'Til thisyear ofthe legislative-

more programs to tin area,"
added Robert. Fchols, member of

middle of the United States,
were the Hutterites, a group of
people virtually unknown to
most Americans."
The Hutterites arrived on the
plains of the American'West in
the 1870s, looking for land and
religious freedom- They origi-
nally i nine from Switzerland and
Austria during the Protestant
Reformation in the sixteenth
century. Like the Amish and the
Mennonites, they are An a bap
tists. which means they believe
in baptism only after a person
reaches the age of reason at
about 18 or 19 years.
Although the Hutterites nor-
mally forbid photography;-they'
eventually allowed Wilson to
photograph their activities, but
only after she had spent, time
with them over a period of year f-
