Imagine how fun it would be to peruse the old papersfor articles about Earlham businesses, citizens who
went to war, family reunions, etc. To see a sample, try

County Historic Preservation Commission.Please consider a personal contribution so that we can completethe work.

there are towns where highschool football is less a gameand more a way of life.

Not only are the youngmen in these towns learningthe game of football, theyare being taught valuablelife lessons that will pay div-idends long after their play-ing days are over. By stress-ing core philosophies liketeamwork, dedication, sacri-fice, and discipline, coacheswork to develop the charac-ter of their players first andforemost—and winning
football games is the result. The Fields of Fall follows

Recent Earlham HighSchool graduate, MorganAllen is set to perform inBarjche at Iowa State Uni-versity on Feb 3-5. Allen isa member of Orchesis I, acreative dance group. Bar-jche, (pronouncedbar-Shay) Iowa State Uni-versity’s annual moderndance concert, was firstcreated in 1946 by threeIowa State students, Bar-bara, Jean and Charlotte.The founding members ofISU’s dance club Orchesiscombined their threenames and talents to cre-ate a modern dance con-cert. Since that time Bar-jche has been producedannually by the Orchesis Idance company.
The theme for Barjche’2017 is based on our indi-viduality and intercon-nectedness. Threads cele-
brates the concept writtenby Joe Kay, that “Each of usis a thread woven into thefabric of our world. We’relooped around each other,pulled tightly to oneanother, intimately boundto one another. We’re soclosely intertwined that wecan’t be separated withoutmaking it all unravel. Byourselves, we are a thread.Together, we are a blan-ket.” The contemporarymodern dance productionBarjche’ weaves this themethrough the individualdances created by OrchesisI members, faculty andguests.
Special highlightsinclude “Field Day” chore-ographed in 2002 by for-mer ISU faculty LaurieSanda performed by Orch-esis I alumni members. Asa memorial tribute to Ms.
Sanda (1954-2016) profes-sional dancer and alumniKareem Dixon is bringingtogether other Orchesis Ialumni to perform in thisyear’s Barjche’. A newpiece created by guestartist Chris Black with theOrchesis I dancers duringher week in residence atISU.
