A GREAT BIG THANK K' M B Iu u ■ We want to express our sincere appreciation to the many people who helped to make our Lakeland youth center benefit sale a success. The cooperation and results exceeded our fondest expectation. The sale was a success by all standards, and we succeeded in raising about $2,500 for the Lakeland youth center. Our thanks to the many who contributed items to the sale, to the many buyers and to those who did the leg work behind the sale. And our special thanks to auctioneer Larry Miller and his assistants. Without this genuine cooperation the sale would not have been nearly as successful. LAKELAND YOUTH, Inc. BILL CUTTER - Board President

PciaiziNJCß AROUND IV sw J The big news this week, of course, is the three commencement exercises in the Lakeland schools. They begin, Wednesday evening with exercises at North Webster, with the dynamic and compelling .humorous Rev. Phillip C. Philbrook, pastor of the Fort Wayne First Baptist ehurch. speaking at 8 p.m. He appeared before the local Rotary club and before other groups. He’s really worth hearing and will have a good message for North Webster grads. Then, on Thursday night exercises will be held at the Milford gym for graduates of that community. Their speaker will be humorist, lecturer and educator Clyde Gentry, speaking from a background which includes a Lions club International district governor of 25-C. Exercises there begin at 7:30 p.m. The final commencement in the corporation will be held on Friday night at Syracuse, with Warsaw First Presbyterian church minister Rev. William J. Vamos speaking. Robert Slavens, Syracuse principal, and Philip Fawley, senior class sponsor, said he would talk on “Three Reasons To Live”. Services are to begin at 8 p.m. in the new gymnasium. A large number of last year’s seniors, away to college studying during the past school year, have been coming home, notably those from Ball State university. Muncie, who got out earlier than the rest. Susie Cutter. Cathy Dorsey and Steve Carlson were three early birds ■ to make the local scene, and they seemed real glad to be home. It’s always inspiring to see the combined Lakeland baccalaureate, held again this year at the North Webster gym. The 187 seniors of the Milford. North Webster and Syracuse schools, walking together, give one a forerunner idea of what the new Wawasee high school will be like. It should meet the aspirations of the school board and “be one of the best for its size in northern Indiana." • * • Popular Ligonier principal Charles Beck took a few moments off Friday noon to treat the Mrs. to lunch at the Beacon. It was his last day of school for the year, and he said the breather was just what he needed. A nice note of appreciation arrived from Syracuse coach Ken Work-

man thanking this department for “good publicity of our athletics over the past school year”. He added. “Hopefully we can make your job easier by continuing to win at SHS". Ken has closed out a real good year after going through a toughie. We’ve found him very understanding, and a real pleasure to work with. Look for an unusually large amount of home receptions following ! commencement exercises at Syr- ’ acuse. • • ♦ Sally Jo Fosbrink is the recipient of a $3,500 fellowship grant for further study-, we heard this week. She's a senior at Purdue and the daughter of Dr. and Mrs. E. L. Fosbrink. 218 south Huntington. Few people seem to realize the size of the new Lakeland youth center to go up in the spring at the comer of south Huntington and west Chicago ax-enue. W’e hear it will have 5.000 square feet, and this is a lot of square feet! Th benefit public sale Saturday I at Smith-Walbridge camp had a huge amount of items to be sold. In fact, they didn't get them all sold, and will have another sale or tiein with another sale to dispose of the items left. The sale was good, i although the crowd was not as large as hoped. One comment heard was too good to pass by, although it was not meant in a disparaging way. Two women were carrying out a large cardboard box of used plastic toys with happy toddlers following hard on their heels. Says one woman to the other as they were heaving and tugging at the box. “If we had this at home, i xve’d throxv it out!” • • ♦ Florence and Jack Pennington are back at their old stand, the A & W Root Beer stand, at the Kale Island channel bridge. This makes their 20th summer, they observed this week. In the winter they live at their Richmond home and Mr. Pennington works for a Lindseysoft water firm. They have made ; some nice improvements at their location here this year. Theirs is a popular little retreat. ■ . Have you seen the size of the house being built by Bill and Betty Brammer on Ogden Island? It’s a real whopper. It has four bedrooms upstairs and three downstairs. When , completed, look for an unusual type “house xvarming”. • * * The Paul Moore family is home from their 21-day trip to England and Europe, and among the stories they tell is one about accidentally meeting Syracusan Mike Storms, a student under Mr. Moore when he was principal at SHS. Cathy Moore saxv him on the beach at Nice. France, took him back to the hotel to see the rest of the family. Mike, a 1963 graduate here, was studying in England, then decided to travel the Continent a little. Speaking of Nice, France, that is where Mr. and Mrs. Bob Reed are spending some time at Rotary- International convention right now. Bob is incoming Rotary president. • • • Glen Field of Kale Island has a hard time making people grasp his last name. “Field—just like com field or- wheat field!” he says, and this seems to do it. • * ♦ When new barrister Ed Lambert joined the firm of Snodgrass and Burner in Warsaw, associate Bob Burner took him to the court house to introduce Ed around. When they came to the office of county assessor Carl Zimmer, Ed went through all the motions of being glad to meet the assessor. Actually. Ed and Carl have been friends for nigh on to 30 years. • • • Genial Merv Hutchinsdfi of Hutchinson Mobile Home Park. Inc., Irish Lake writes his unusually modem park is featured in the 1967 issue of Mobile Home Life, published by«the Mobile Home Manufacturers Association.
