The Landmark Game '98 Clark Middle School Vincennes, Indiana   Portuguese | Spanish Date: Fri, 16 Jan 1998 15:54:34 -0500 From: Ellen Mize Organization: Vincennes Community School Corporation Subject: Landmark Introduction To: KIDPROJ@LISTSERV.NODAK.EDU Hi! We are from Vincennes, Indiana which is located in southwest Indiana. It is a small river town of about 20,000. Vincennes is the home of Red Skelton, a comedian who just recently passed away. We are the country seat of Knox County, and we have lots of historical landmarks, such as the George Rogers Clark Memorial and the William Henry Harrison Mansion. We go to school at George Rogers Clark Middle School. Our school used to be the old high school, and it is made up of three buildings in a two block area. We have lots of different types of sports, but our main one is basketball. Our sports mascot is called the Alice. It comes from a book titled "Alice of Old Vincennes." We are the only school that we know about that has this mascot, and we are proud of it. We also have an academic team, three newspapers, and many other things. There are over 800 students in our school in grades 6, 7, and 8. Our school day is nine periods that last forty minutes each. The school day is from 8:05 a.m. until 3:05 p.m. The school year is 180 days. The class submitting the landmark is a sixth grade G/T English class. We have three boys and eleven girls. Rebekah, Jeeta, Shannon H., Shannon W., Lindsey, Sara, Mallory, Emily, Stephany, Andrea, Crystal, Talmage, Nash, and Ryan are looking forward to solving your landmarks. Other sixth grade classes will help. Good luck in the game!
