unimaginative (bfliidtoigs which will enable the teach-fers and students to proceed through their day and school year Several Sko-1 whegan teachers said they will miss their large rooms with many fkwr-to-: ceding windows The Bloomfield dass-r i rooms are about one-third smaller than the old rooms and there is but one win-(dow per room 1 In both St Albans and Skowhegan I there will be a doubling of electrical cost because of the fewer windows A contrast to these schools is the So- ion Elementary School which is as tnno-Jvative and spirit lifting as the other schools are pedestrian There is only ode small corridor in the Solon school Each classroom has a different shape Some are triangular some trapezoidal there is one rectangle The rooms are grouped around the core of the multi- purpose room Each space relates to the wxt space so there is a feeling of I unity of purpose The use of state of the art alternative i heating systems reinforces the effort to present something different for an edu- cational environment Unlike the Sko- whegan and St Albans schools each rpomin the Solon school has no fewer than four windows Each window has a I screen a therompane insert and blinds Every view was studied for the effect on tte classroom In the kindergarden room the win- dow was placed low enough so the stu- dents can see out when they are fitting oo the floor 5T chtldren

to the fields to get in those second crops The horses however are loaded into their padded vans and return to spacious box stalls and rolling pastures to take five until the next control display Will John Deere White Farmall and Massey Furgeson be forgotten names in the farming community in a few years just as Suffolk Punch and Shire are foreign names now? Could these two pastimes Be on the same continuum the horse having been around longer than the machine being further evolved further from the workaday world? Again I can Imagine a farmer zapping out mustard in his potato field with the newest laser weed eliminator or turning a field with the sweep of an electronic wand but I see a prim and proper gathering

rpssage buffs and tractor pull enthusiasts appear to be diverse socioeconomic groups on the stirface but looking deeper they are alike Fifty miles separated these two summer Saturday afternoon events The tractor pull crowd were very open in their enjoyment They exposed large portions of their already tanned bodies to the afternoon sun consumed copious amounts of hot Commentary dogs and Pepsi made loud enthusiastic noises and smiled a lot Those in attendance at the dressage competition were certainly more reserved visually and audibly There were no cheers hoots whistles or screams during a dressage demonstration only the soft clop of specially shod hooves in arena duff It was silent as the tense moment before a sudden death play-off putt but with only polite applause following a piaffe or a pirouette no roar from the crowd These two groups looked and sounded dif SOMERSET ADVERTISERS coach Blake Bartlett will return to MCI this fall to teach English Bartlett taught at MCI for several
