The six local drama stiMents who "stood in line" from 11 p.m. on a Friday until noon Sunday <strong>for</strong> 49cent return flight tickets to New York City, had their weekend in the Big Apple.

To take advantage of New York Air's promotional 49-cent flight, they had camped out at Metro. They took along food and blankets and slept on the sidewalk To help pass the time, they danced and per<strong>for</strong>med drama skits All were on the 7:30 a.m. flight to New York Friday, Oct. 23. They had planned to stay at the Edison Hotel but due to a mix-up. found lodging at the Iroquois on 44th Street, off Broadway. "It was just $<strong>26</strong> each <strong>for</strong> two nights," said Robyn Thanks to arrangements made by Butch and Alan s father, all their meals were free at a restaurant owned by a friend of Mr Karamon. They visited the Rockefeller Center and went to the top to see the city They went to Radio City, roller skated in Central Park. "We spent a lot oKtime walking and looking," said Robyn. "We saw Saks Fifth Avenue, Bloomingdale's, and walked through East Harlem. Alan got mugged on Broadway.

They took Alan's camera, and wallet, which had his VISA card " Randy and Robyn are dance students. On Saturday, they went to Jo-Jo's Factory where Randy had a dance lesson They planned to see '42nd Street." but it was sold out.

Oh to be that young' Till; ST. J I DE'S showcase house will be open until the end of the week. The modern Tudor house on Wabeek Hill Court in Bloomfield Hills is a fund-raiser project sponsored by the St Jude Hospital auxiliary Each room has been decorated by a prestigious metropolitan area interior designer. The result has brought rave reviews from everyone who has donated the $5 admission to tour the house. Asking price <strong>for</strong> the four- ^ bedroom house is $530,000. Plymouth designer Gary Beglinger was among those invited to "do" a room • Architecturally, it is the poorest room in the house," said Gary. "It has a high window in a corner and a walk-in closet that takes up wall space " But because St. Jude's Children's Hospital founded by Danny Thomas is a worthy cau^e (and because Gary loves a challengt), she accepted. The result is a child's fantasy room, a fairy tale of a room <strong>for</strong> a girl. The high window became an asset when it was converted to a cosy nook <strong>for</strong> reading, studying or dreaming. Theiiigh seat is reached by a step-stool. Sheered fabric on the walls gives the room a tent effect The high-headed bed is Victorian as are other accessories. White wicker chairs, table bookcase and cupboard, laces and ribbons, and fabric-covered lamp shades contribute to the dream quality of the room. Gary removed several coats of paint from the fireplace front be<strong>for</strong>e she painted it a slate blue and installed it in the room. The hearth was painted a rusty pink. The mantel, complete with plate rail, was lowered a few inches by her son. Plates on the rail are the kind a little girl would collect. Gary had a friend paint the hat on the hatrack There's an oldfashioned quilt on the quilt rack.

Theresa Solak, presideht of the <strong>Canton</strong> BPW, presented a distinguished individual award to John Child care center From baby-sitting to learning By Sherry Kahan staff writer They call it a laboratory. But the Schoolcraft College Child Care Center has neither microscopes nor microbes. Instead there are pre school children playing, furnishing a laboratory setting <strong>for</strong> the Schoolcraft students who need to learn how to deal with youngsters as part of their academic program in the department of child care and develop ment. Many of them want to be teachers or directors in child care centers. So while Michelle Nolan of Livonia pushes Keith Frederick of Red<strong>for</strong>d Township on the swing, she is also observing his physical coordination and at the same time learning to talk to him. Lynn James of Garden City may be sitting quietly with Ketan Kadiwala of <strong>Canton</strong> at the sand box, but she is paying attention to how he gets along with the other children. "It is important our students learn while doing," stated Mary Jo Keller of Livonia, director of the center. "We 1 Melissa Crane (left) of Westland and Michael Arthur (right) of Red<strong>for</strong>d are In the process of learning that what goes up must come down. With them Is teach them many alternatives. Not everything works with every child Here they have a chance to employ alternatives and put their theories into practice." Mrs. Keller takes an active role with the children. So she is handy to a student when a child starts to cry. She is there to advise, and she might tell the student to distract the pre-schooler in some way until he feels better. "The students in the program have the advantage of learning the best available child care techniques," observed Dorothy Witten of Livonia, program director "We also offer the advantage of a high ratio of teachers to children." ALONG WITH starting the first laboratory school in the area, the staff is opening the Schoolcraft center to children in the community. Previously it had been designed as a place <strong>for</strong> children of students and faculty. . The day care hours have been expanded, so that the center now is open 7:30 a m to 5:30 p.m. each weekday. I i There is a full daycare program as well as drop-in care. A youngster can participate in sessions <strong>for</strong> one to five days a week at a cost of $12.50 per day or $55 a full week Drop-in care is offered during classes to children of Schoolcraft students, faculty and staff. The cost is $1 25 an hour up to five hours. Lunch is served at noon to all day care students. Drop-in children can either eat a center meal <strong>for</strong> $1, or bring their own lunch. Those in the interested in the center may contact it at 591- 6400. ext. 360. By next summer the staff hopes to offer services to handicapped children. An advantage to having a day care program on campus was expressed by Pam Tritten of Plymouth, who has gone far enough in her studies to be hired as a part-time aide by the center In previous years students were placed in various day care situations throughout the area, she explained.
