One was near the Abts home on Wawasee Lake, another across the road from the Atz apartments on Syracuse Lake, and the third at Phil Kerns on Road 13.

The Poet’s i; Corner O COME TO ME By Jane Heaton O come to me, O bird of flight, O please abandon your height. O come to me, O bird of grace, O come and visit at my place. O come to me, O bird of blue For I for one will not pursue. O come to me, O bird and abide Though I will walk and you will glide. 'The above poem was written by a fourth grade pupil in Mrs. Beulah Bushong’s class. She is the daughter of Mrs. Francis Heaton, home economics and physical education teacher.) “Just when you get enough money to buy something you had classed as a luxury it ceases to be a luxury.” —Ray D. Everson.
