THE MAIL-JOURNAL — Wed., May 23,1973

AROUND^^JW^—K Little known facts about the Sunday graduation: ABC sportscaster Chris Schenkel. whose daughter Christina was among the 206 to get their diplomas, was scheduled to do an hour live special from the Indiana Motor Speedway at Indianapolis on Sunday, but opted to give it up to attend the graduation of his first* born. Those who watched the speedway broadcast heard them say “Chris couldn’t be with us today.” Incidentally, Chris also got mention from his colleague Jim McKay at the Emmy award from Los Angeles Sunday night. The graduating class, with 206 candidates aboard, was the largest in the five-year history of WHS. For the record, 195 graduated in 1972,153 in 1971,160 in 1970, and 177 in 1969. Look for a little drop in the several years ahead. In spite of a real warm day, a record crowd turned out for the exercises, and everything went off without a hitch. A tip of the hat to Cecilia Leal and Jorge Peixoto, foreign exchange students from Brazil, who received a strong ovation from the audience as they received their diplomas. A real heart-wrencher came when principal Henry Smith presented a diploma to Darla Jean Dahl, a blind student, daughter of the Oscar Dahls, and planted a kiss on her cheek. The wisdom of the school board shone through when one looked at the “extra” parking lot completely filled with cars. When the board purchased that tract, one wondered if it was really needed. All doubts were dispelled Sunday. Music master Varner Chance is making plans for his annual European sojourn with the “Sounds of Hope” and has six WHS students lined up for this year’s trip. They are Sandra Beer, Kim Augsburger and Kevin Rhoades, juniors; Sharon Rapp, sophomore; and Angela Jessop and Charles Pryor, freshmen. Adults making the trip will be state senator and Mrs. John F. Augsburger and Charles Scott, music instructor at North Webster. It’ll be the first plane ride for “Babe” Augsburger. They will rehearse at Epworth Forest from July 8 to 11, leave on the 11th, and be home August 1. Their concert in the school auditorium is scheduled for August 2. “Doc” Miller, salesman at W. L. Cutter Chevrolet in Syracuse for the past 10 years, is striking out on his own. Doc and his son-in-law, Rick Goodfellow of Atlanta, Ga., have leased the Big “S” Motor Sales, a used car agency in Wawasee Village, from Ron Silveus of Cromwell. Mary (Mrs. Jack) Mason pens an item from the Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., News that a 59-year-old Cleveland woman who pawned her wedding ring to pay for a new roof on her house to comply with city housing codes was jailed anyway for failing to have the house painted or weathertightened.

The story went on: “Mrs. Flora M. Thorpe sold the ring to pay for a new roof on her West Side home, a two-and-a-half-story building. • “But housing inspectors arrested her after she told them she couldn’t afford the additional work they demanded. “She breeds and sells dogs in her home to supplement her monthly income of 1130, but the inspectors also cited her for that, too. “ ‘I would have to stop living if not for the small dog breeding business,’ Mrs. Thorpe said. “My mortgage payments alone are»|llo per month,* she explained. ‘Without my dogs, I would only have S2O per month to live on.’ “A Legal Aid Society attorney, Joseph Meissner, bailed Mrs. Thorpe out of jail after learning of her plight. “A local minister has promised Mrs. Thorpe that he can get the workers if she can get the paint and ladders to refurbish her house. So far, she has enough money for eight gallons of paint, but estimates she needs eight more.” Gene Ludwig, manager of the VyLactos plant in Syracuse, claims a personal friendship with Bob Feller, Cleveland Indians pitcher of recent fame. Gene has invited Feller to come to Syracuse for a week end in Syracuse, perhaps in July, to visit Jay’s Driving Range operated by the three Ludwig children, and to help Gene boost a new pitching mount idea. Feller is a well known Hall of Famer. Phil Jones, a Rotarian and man in charge of the summer recreation program at Wawasee Prep, shaved off his famous beard. First time he went to a club meeting, thereafter, he said 10 club members failed to recognize him. That’s his count, incidentally. We heard this week there’s a carburetor that gets as high as 40 miles per gallon of gasoline on any conventional auto. Can we believe this? And if so, wouldn’t this solve our gas shortage problem? Lew Craig on the sick list at his Lake Wawasee home. His pals at the Breakfast club and fellow Rotarians wish him a speedy recovery. Max and Mary Ganshorn stood in the yard of their Hunnicutt Addition home one night last week and saw Skylab floating in the heavens. Football coach Hal Traviolia comes to WHS from rough and tough Lake county. He says, after he finished a talk before a Lions club there, they assured him the town was behind him, “Win or draw!” This column heard that Turkey Creek township old GOP pols are looking for someone to run for township trustee against incumbent Joe Shewman. A WHS senior who was not on hand to get her diploma Sunday is Valerie Steffen, daughter of the Paul Steffens. She is completing her work at Fycee Frederic Mistral, at Avignon, France. A townsman who “wants the people’s rights protected” contributed SSO to the ad hoc committee of Front street citizens who are fighting the building of an apartment house. The party does not live on Front street, incidentally. Ever hear of Clarksville? Well, it’s the 50-acre tract being

developed across the channel from the M & M Case in North Webster. It is composed of old log cabins, and one must go over a covered bridge to get there. Shops will be set up in the cabins. The whole idea is the brainchild of Fred Clark, 30-year-old manager of the M & M Case. Watch this idea grow. Groce Bible graduation on Friday Graduation ceremonies will be held at 7 p.m., May 25, at the Grace Bible church chapel, for those graduating from Syracuse Christian high school and the Indiana Fundamental Bible Institute. Four seniors are graduating from the Bible Institute: Mrs. Joseph Gross, Miss Vicky Nyikos, Miss Kathleen Haifley and Miss Linda Nyikos. One graduate will also be participating from Syracuse Christian high, Miss Cynthia Jean Strieby. Dr. Mark Cambron, vice president of Florida Baptist college, in Miami, Fla., will be

the commencement speaker. Dr. Cambron is also director of the Seaside Mission, working among Hebrew people. The public is invited to the service, to be held in the new chapel of the Grace Bible church. The church is located M mile north and one mile east of the junction of 6 and SR 13, north of Syracuse.

Five masses at Saint Martin's

The mass schedule at Saint Martin de Porres church in Syracuse will be increased from three to five masses, starting Sunday, June 3. The increase is to accommodate the influx of summer residents in the lakes area. Times of masses will be 6 p.m. Saturday, and 8,9,10, and 11 a.m. Sunday. Masses at Saint Francis Xavier parish in Pierceton will be held at 7:30, 9 and 10:15 a.m. during the summer. Our Lady of Guadalupe parish, in Milford, will retain its schedule of two masses; Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday at 11:30 a.m. Summer residents are most welcome at all of these Catholic churches. Father Eugene Zimmerman is pastor of the three churches.
