Gov, Drops In on Students

CAPE MAY — The imaginative fifth graders at the elementary school here have had something of a problem the past six months. The governor of New Jersey solved it for them last Wednesday.’ Last fall, under the guidance of teacher Tom Levin, the 20 pupils made Christmas wreaths out of seashells (Cape May seashells, of course) and presented 40 of them to the . White House for display there. IN RECOGNITION of their efforts, the White House invited the pupils to Washington for a red carpet tour of the presidential home. Unfortunately for them, the tour took place during Christmas week and they missed President Reagan who was .vacationing. Early in' the fall the pupils invited gubernatorial candidates Ttiomas Kean and James Florio to discuss the campaign issues. Both sent their stand-ins. MORE RECENTLY the class made an American flag out of 2,145 clamshells. They wanted to personally deliver it to Gov. Kean in

his Trenton office, but school authorities said they had made enough class trips for one year and vetoed the idea. Levin made the trip without the children. It looked like the children’s efforts to meet a governmental celebrity would go down the drain completely until Cape May Couhcilman Harry Gilbert and County GOP Chairman Philip Matalucci came to their rescue. It didn’t require much coaxing for them to convince the new governor to come to Cape May. Depending upon how one loked at it. the mountain came to Mohammed or •vice versa. While the zrh pupils and 22 teachers waited inside and local political dignitaries outside, a whirlybird descended on Jhe recreation field and, sure enough, out stepped the governor with an aide, a State policeman and a pilot. After the greetings, he was ushered into the fiftn grade classroom where he signed autographs and handed out pens while the pdpils' cameras clicked away.

Kean thanked them for their gift and said the flag is on display in his outer office for many people to see. Maybe, someone said,

Ronald Reagan will visit next fall. Don't count out the possibility. Harry Gilbert already is working on it.
