The Honors Scholar Program Continues to Thrive |
|
The Highline Community College Honors Scholar Program has 151 active
members this quarter. Many are applying to transfer in the fall of
2005, but for the first time we have a number who are applying to
out-of-state as well as in-state schools. (All are encouraged to
apply to a "safe" school, a "maybe," and a "stretch," at least.)
Also, for the first time, one our students is one of the 100 "diversity"
students invited to an all-expense-paid "fly-in" visit at Whitman
College.
Barbara Clinton thanks all of the faculty and staff for their work with and support of these capable students. The
Honors Program was developed for students that are very motivated,
academically successful, and are interested in preparing themselves to
transition to a four-year institution. Visit

The
Mystery of Candy Corn
As far as anyone can tell, candy corn developed out of a need to have a totally different-looking candy. The most famous makers of candy corn are the Goelitz brothers. They were German immigrants and candy-makers by trade. They started churning out the sweet stuff in 1869 in Belleville, Illinois. Albert and Gustave Goelitz (they were 21 and 24 years old at the time) opened a candy store in Belleville. Both of them did pretty well in the candy-making business and then opened additional candy factories. Their main candy was candy corn. They called themselves the "King of the Candy Corn Field". The actual ingredients of candy corn involves corn syrup, sugar and water, but the Goelitz people add a bit of a special marshmallow ingredient to give their candy corn a truly "gourmet" taste. The best candy corn is super-sweet tasting and has an almost vanilla flavor. It should be nice and soft when you bite it, and it should be totally fresh. If you see a bag of candy corn on the shelf that looks like it's from last year, odds are it'll taste like it's from last year, too! |
