Taking a makeup test in the "listening center" at St. Paul's Lutheran School were four first graders. They are (top, from left) Hilary Kapfer, Jill Van Heyningen, Lisa Gail Schock and Andy Crosmer. The listening center is a portable appliance, which can be used by eight students at once. It plugs into record players, tape recorders or sound projectors and permits individual listening. The equipment, donated in 1968 by the school's Parent-Teacher League, has been "heavily used" during this school year, according to one teacher. The portable equipment can be taken to any classroom, and can be used to hear French stories and songs, religious readings, speeches, math drills or a number of other subjects. It is also used to make up tests by students absent because of illness or absence. (Ann Arbor News Photo by Cecil Lockard.)

After fire virtually destroyed the second floor of the south wing and intense heat and water damaged the rest of the two-story brick building at 2010 Washtenaw Ave. last April, owner J. E. Stowe asked Colvin, Robinson & Associates to redesign the two-family residence. At left is a News photograph of the fire at its height; above is the structure as it appears today, awaiting occupancy. An apartment has been built into the basement; another on the main floor. The bearing walls were retained, but otherwise, the building's interior is radically changed. Among features are wide use of sand-blasted fir paneling and decorative glass panels along the wall in the hall under which are planting pockets.

THIS IS JERUSALEM: A few scattered houses, a store and two nearby farms make up the village of Jerusalem. John K. Bingham 124 years ago platted the village at Jerusalem Rd. and Freer Rd. He built a sawmill nearby in 1832 on Mill Creek, and a grist mill was located in the village about 1860, giving rise to hope that Jerusalem would grow into a thriving center. Its current population is about 20 persons.
