School, Melissa is the daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Calvin Schram of Edison.
Mrs. Marihelyn Norman, math
teacher of CCHS, was selected by
Melissa as has Star Teacher.
“Deciding on my Star Teacher was
very difficult because all the teachers
I’ve had have been very supportive of
me. I'm glad to share this honor with
Mrs. Norman, but I’d also like to men
tion Andy Sanders, who received the
award a few years ago, because he
was an outstanding teacher, too,’’
says Melissa.

THIS 'N'THAT
Margaret Sheppard
We had the nicest Edison Garden
Club meeting out at Mrs. Ruby Fain’s
house Wednesday. The refreshments
were of the George Washington motif.
The Cherry cheesecake and the red
and green hatchet with cheeries hang
ing, were so typical of his day. I’m go
ing to use my hatchet as a book mark.
This made me start to think of ’’old
George” and what he liked in foods. I
found that he was especially fond of
desserts.
If we can forget that fallen tree and
all the cherry pies it inspires everyone
Washington’s birthday celebration, I
find that the father of our country was
a man who liked fine foods and set a
lavish table, even in wartime.
In the early days as a young country
squire at Mount Vernon, Washington
served memorable meals to the
parade of guest who visited the stately
mansion. An English visitor described
those spreads as “bountiful”, citing
one dinner where there was a leg of
pork at the head of the table and a
roast goose at the foot, with two kinds
of beef and a platter of mutton chops
in between; not to mention the various
vegetables and breads.
Trifle was one of Washington’s
favorite desserts and it is a favorite of
mine too. I found it quite popular in
London and ate it several times there.
Here is the recipe.
Trifle - 18 slices of jelly rolls, or
sponge cake cut into slices, 34 cup
white wine.
Custard -1 pint whipping cream, 1
tablespoon sugar, candied fruit for
decoration.
Line deep dish with slices of jelly
roll and wet with cup wine. Fill dish
nearly to top with custard. Season half
pint heavy cream with one tablespoon
wine and one tablespoon sugar. Whip
to a froth and spread over custard.
Decorate with candied fruits.
To make custard, scald 1 quart
milk. Add 4 cup sugar and pinch salt.
Beat 6 whole eggs and half cup cold
milk together. Stir and slowly add to
hot milk mixture. Cook in top of dou
ble boiler until custard coats spoon.
When cooled, add teaspoon vanilla
an gently mix.
Thought for the Day:
Washington said after an attack in the
press "I had rather be on my own
farm than to be made emperor of the
world”.

TRI-COUNTY
CORNER
Mert ice Cotton
For a number of years I received a
copy of The Offbeat Observer, a
Georgia Motor Trucking Association
Publication, in the form of a calender.
The top of each sheet is an account of
some ridiculous and hilarious goings
on in cities and city government, and
over to the left of the calender itself is
advice to the lovelorn section called
Advice And Answer Corner by
Esmeralda Kritchie. I got such a
charge out of these publications that I
decided to paper the bathroom up at
the lake with them. Cleaning up at
home last week I found them and
thought I'd share a articularly good
episode with you at intervals.
Here are a couple of Esmeralda’a
columns from the 1978 issue:
Dear Esmeralda: I like my husband
all right but we have what I feel is a
basic incompatibility. I’m a “morning
person” and he’s a “night person”.
When I’ve had it and just can't stay up
any longer, he's just waking up. By
about midnight he’s in high gear. I’ve
tried for years to get him to change.
To me, there’s nothing prettier than a
sunrise. I don't think he’s ever seen
one unless maybe it happened before
he went to bed. But he doesn’t care
and he won’t try to change. Don’t you
think he should at least try? (Up With
The Birds)
Dear U.W.T.8.: Sorry, Honey, I’m
with him. I can’t even find my socks
'til 'bout halfway through the day. The
way I see it, if the Good Lord wanted
everyone to see the sunrise, He would
have to schedule it a little later in the
day. E.K.
Dear Esmeralda: I had a date with
this guy the other night and he asked
me a question and I was afraid to
answer it because I didn’t know what
he asked me and I was too embar
rassed to tell him I didn’t know. So I
told him I didn’t want to discuss it un
til I got to know him better. He behav
ed himself allright but the question
sounded suggestive so I just stalled
him until I could find out what the
dickens he was talking about. He ask
ed me what I thought about
monogamy. Now, just what in the
heck is monogamy? (At A Loss A
Word)
Dear A.A.L.F.A.W.: This was a
good one. I always thought
monogamy was one of those games
two people play where you try to get
real astate from each other, But I
wasn’t sure so I asked this lawyer I
, know who’s pretty good with words
and son of a gun if he didn’t say that
pretty well described it. E.K.
Card OfThanks
I sincerely thank the people of
Calhoun County for their support in
electing me superintendent. I worked
hard during the campaign and will
continue to work hard to up grade the
quality of education. I have a firm
committment to the duties of
superintendent and will do my best to
conscientiously carry out these
responsibilities. I hope to
demonstrate the confidence and trust
that you have shown in your selection
of superintendent..
Sincerely,
Bobby Paul
