Who’s Who In 1933, there was one of the worst depressions of all times. Robert Nathan’s “One More Spring” was a best seller. “As Thousands Cheer” by Irving Berlin was the hit musical comedy. (Katharine Cornell played in “Alien Corn.” and 7,844,000 bushels of buckwheat were produced. The biggest event of the year (for his parents, anyway) took place in Pierceton, Indiana on November 6. This event was the birth of Arnold Gene Grindle. Arnold, though small, sft. 6 inches tall and weighs 12 5 pounds has plently of spirit as is shown by his hobby, girls. The remainder of Arnold’s physical assets include brown eyes and beautiful curly black hair. His taste in music has an extremely wide* range, from “Shotgun Boogie” by Tennessee Ernie to something slow and sweet by Guy Lombardo. He attended school in Pierceton before becoming one of us he has been engaged in softball, chorus, intermural basketball, cul-

tivatlng an Interest in physics (which has become his favorite subject) performing numerous experiments of various natures (accompanied by Jon Bushong), and eating fried chicken. Being very ambitious and having all kinds of excess energy, he plans on going to work after graduation. Good luck, Arnold! Who’s Who One of the most versatile girls I know is a member of the Senior class of 1951. She has been a member of our clas for only three years, and always seemed to click from the beginning. I can picture her ten years from now! ! She will look about the same: 5 ft. 4 inches tall, 116 pounds, light brown hair, and expressive, big, brown eyes. She is now married to a man of the Charles Atlas type, who was also a graduate of the class of 19-51. Her time is all devoted to cooking exotic concoctions for her husband. (All joking aside, though, she is a very good cook.)

The song is still “Maleguania” by James (Whitmore. Her favorite orchestra is Frankie Carle and vocalist Perry Como. She will still maintain that her outstanding experience was planning and decorating for the Jun-ior-Senior Reception when she was a Junior. Speaking of school and school activities, she has always been quite prominent. At Napoleon, where she attended school before coming here, she was a member of band and chorus (as she also is here), and the Sunshine Society. Since moving here she has added another activity, Junior Ladies Club. You have no doubt, by now recognized our Senior of the Week as Beverly Ann Sink, born September 27, 1933. Her alertness and pleasant personality will insure her success and happiness in the future. Good luck, Bev! —Rosemary Gingerich. Senior Boys (Entertained The Syracuse-Wawasee Rotary

Ice Harvest Was Big Business Before Electric Refrigeration

rIS WINTER’S sustained freeze in New England and the Middle Atlantic States brought out skates, skis, and sleds—and reminded old timers of the not so long ago when the harvesting of natural ice was big business. Seventy years ago, lee manufacturing plants were a novelty. Until well after the turn of the SOth century, many communities even as far south as Virginia had their needs for Ice in summer supplied by one or more local ice farmers. As the number of ice manufacturing plants climbed to its present U. S. total of 7,000, and, in later years, as home mechanical refrigeration became widespread, the southern frontier of natural ice harvesting has retreated slowly northward. No longer do New England ice barons export the natural product by train and shipload to southern climes. Although ice-cut-ting is still a familiar midwinter scene in the northern United States as well as on Canadian lakes and streams, today’s harvests are largely for use not far from the scene of the cutting. EQs ranks thinned, the ice harvester operates one or more big icehouses at the edge of a lake or still-water stream. The wood-frame double walls are armor against summer heat. A tier of doors from

Two last summer cottagers of the Mosers will be in California this summer, Emma Adams and Betty Pollock. They are both teachers at Fort Wayne and Betty was accepted for the summer at the University of California, where she will attain the Master’s degree. Emma, who did Park Recreational Work in Fort Wayne in the summer, will easily find similar work in California.

ground to eaves facilitates ice storage and removal. He is ready to cut and store ice as soon as it becomes one foot thick. Food cooling ventured out of eaves and springhouses only a little more than a century ago. Thomas Moore, a farmer of Montgomery County, Maryland, obtained the first U. S. patent on a household icebox in 1803. Moore’s idea could make little headway, however, at first. Improved methods of cutting and storing natural ice were necessary before the infant industry could grow by leaps and bounds. It was the plowlike, horse-drawn ice-cutter of about 1827 that made natural ice harvesting one of the 19th century’s big industries. Cutting a deep groove, it more than halved the labor of crisscrossscoring of the frozen surface so that the square blocks could be split off and floated to the icehouse rampJ That revolutionary horse-drawn cutter has itself long been superseded. The job is now done almost effortlessly by a sled-mounted, gas-oline-powered circular saw. Its teeth are so designed that they pull the whole rig forward even as they cut The saw is set to leave enough of the thickness uncut to support the rig and workers.
