Jessie Schaeffer gave the program with short stories and jokes. One story, in 1984 when the school year started in St. Joseph County, students in Northy Liberty had an extra week of summer vacation due to a dispute over who controlled the school. North Liberty was a newly incorporated town and prior to the incorporation the public school had been under the township trustee’s control. After the town’s in- ; corporation it was presumed that members of the town’s new school board would take charge. But the township trustee saw the situation differently and thought he should retain control. The issue still hadn’t been settled with classes finally started for students and the schools two teachers on September 10. Opinion among the town residents was divided and legal advice was sought. The matter went to Circuit Court. There were still bonds on the school building, but it was understood that apportioning the debt and school Kinds between the township and the corporation could be adjusted. If not it was expected that a lawsuit would be filed on behalf of the
