Preservation

Day-long tours of the courthouse, slide shows, demonstrations, antique automobiles and games for children attracted a steady flow, according to Michelle Hreha, chairman of the Preservation Fair. “WE HAD THEM moving through the building all day long,” Ms. Hreha said. “Everybody really seemed to enjoy themself. They seemed really interested in the exhibits because they stopped to read, not just look at the pictures.” She reported that the two afternoon lectures were “well-attended,” while admitting she was “really thrilled” with the rededication ceremony. “We had a good time,” she said of those involved. “We couldn’t have asked for better weather and we’re very satisfied with the turnout. We’re not disappointed in the least.” DOES THAT MEAN a third annual Preservation Fair could be in the offing for 1986? “I’m too tired to think about next year,” Ms. Hreha said Monday morning. “We’ll probably do it again, although that would be up to the (Heritage Preservation Society) board. Nothing is definite.” The Preservation Fair organizer was disappointed that she wasn’t able to decorate the courthouse with red, white

and blue bunting all over as it was in 1905. “Unfortunately, that would have cost five times my budget,” she laughed. AT LEAST THREE LOCAL residents, meanwhile, were attending their second courthouse dedication. Polly West, Robert O’Hair and Bruner Thomas were also among the throng participating in 1905. Mrs. West and O’Hair, however, admittedly don’t remember much about the festivities. They were four and eight years old, repsectively in 1905. The children’s period costume contests were won by Megan McKee (under 12) and Chrissy Homier (12 and over). Megan was one of two McKee children to come dressed in authentic little girl’s dresses from the turn of the century. Sister Catharine was also dolled up, but only one prize was awarded. The McKee girls’ costumes came from a family trunk.

“WHEN I DROVE HOME,” he said of that earlier experience, “I knew something was missing. After I went back and picked her up, I didn’t know if she would ever speak to me again. Things were awfully quiet for the next three days,” he said, smiling. Referring to another instance, Alexander told of a recent hectic day at th a Bainbridge Elementary School. The school secretary was off for the day and he was alone to fend for himself. “I had the whole office to myself,” Alexander began. “For some reason that day, I had kids coming to the sick room like crazy. I was taking temperatures left and right, when I remembered I had to make an announcement over the intercom. “The same time I picked up the microphone, the phone rang,” Alexander continued. “I picked up the phone and said: “May I have your attention.’ “I DON’T KNOW IF I had the person’s attention or not because there was a long silence,” the Bainbridge principal related. “Finally, a puzzled voice answered: ‘Well, is this Bainbridge Elementary?”’ On a personal level, Alexander said he received a lot of educational guidance from Arthur Johnson, a former principal at Fillmore. Later, Johnson retired as superintendent of schools at Cloverdale. “He lifted me up when I was down,” Alexander noted. Referring to his years with the North Putnam School Corporation, Alexander commented, “I am very proud to have been a part of this school corporation. It

has been very good to me. My hope is that I have been good for the school corporation. “YOU CAN HAVE ALL the material things associated with schools,” he added. “You can have buildings, the contents of those buildings and other things like buses and curriculums. They are important to having a good program. “But the essential element,” Alexander stressed, “is the employees. I feel the North Putnam School Corporation is outstanding because of its people, past and present.” Near the end of the program, North Putnam Jr.-Sr. High School Principal Schad added his own light moments to the program. “For about the past four or five years, Shirrel has said he was going to retire. So,” he said, reaching into his pocket, “here are four or five retirement pins for each of those yearss.” Later, on a more serious note, Alexander was given a set of luggage as presented by Schad and Don and Janice Deßoer on behalf of the school corporation. In addition, North Putnam Supt. Thomas Rohr presented Alexander with a plaque recognizing his years in education at North Putnam. FINALLY, IT WAS SCHAD who returned, touching off the tribute. “You have given me advice, now I will give you advice. Enjoy your retirement,” Schad told Alexander, “but don’t forget us. “As you go forth,” Schad concluded, “we want you to know that you have given North Putnam a greal deal more than what it has given you.”

10 years of RSVP recognition

“RSVP Reflections,” submitted by Thelma Burkhardt, assistant RSVP director RSVP celebrated its 10th annual Recognition Luncheon last Thursday at the Sherwood Christian Church. Although it is difficult for the staff to stand back and be objective about the success of such an event, it couldn’t help but be successful in view of the many people who were involved in making it so. Besides the delicious salads prepared by the volunteers everyone enjoyed the entertainment provided by the Putnam County Extension Homemakers Chorus: Director Vera Kierstead, pianist Ann Cooper; members Pat Barker, Lois Zeph, Evelyn Sutherlin, Beth Woodard, Maxine Williams, Marilyn Clearwaters, Charlotte Gould, Gloria Duggan, Jean Bennett, Martha Jo McGaughey, Delores Racel and a special performer, high school student Kristie Henson. THE VOLUNTEERS GIVEN special recognition again this year were those who served 500 hours or more: Dora Burk, Thelma Duncan, Edna Kirmse, Fern Larkin, Clarice Liptrap, Elmer Abbott, Lucille Blume, Doris Weber, Bessie Rector, Kenneth Edmonson, Lorene Allee, Elizabeth Clodfelter, Gertie Fisher, E.J. Shumaker, Kathryn Thompson, Myrtle Ash, Blanche Swartley, Jane Layman, Hubert Clodfelter, Fred Bishop, Fern Pitts, Maddona Underwood, Sherman Harting and Elizabeth Crawford. The total hours for this group was 22,531 and the cost per hour of volunteer service is well under a dollar. Jan Mishler’s students from Greencastle High were in evidence again this year. They not only prepared the rolls and dessert but took over the duty of seeing that everyone was served their beverage and dessert at the tables. Thanks to Sandra Rogers, Trisha Robinson, Pat Archer, Julie Terry, Lisa Wainman, Missy Shoemaker, Tara Pinney and Brian Mager. Hope to see Jan’s group next year, they make it possible for all the volunteers and guests to eat without interruption.
