Lebanon. Ore., writes to say "We in Oregon have had a very open winter — lots of rain — one snowfall so far — three inches fell January 25 and was all gone in three days, also a couple hard freezes and then temperatures up in the mid-30's at night and sometimes up in 50’s throughout the day. "Altogether a very nice winter so far. but still have rest of the month and March before we can really look forward- to warmer weather.*" Monday morning’s -13 makes us wonder what the weather is like today in Oregon' The weather in Indiana has been rather mild too, however, the past week end proves Old Man Winter is still around as the temperatures have been below the zero mark and we have snow on the ground Our advice to those in the sunny south is they should stay awhile longer! BETH ANN Thompson, young daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Stan Thompson of Syracuse, told her
mother recently to “use her influence and put her name in the paper.” Beth Ann is five and her mother. Theresa, is "influential" because she works in our composing room. So to [rove to a five-year-old her mommy really does have "influence" we are printing Beth Ann's name in the column this week, after all that’s a pretty big word for such a little girl! TWENTY FRIENDS and relatives of Ruth Angle surprised her with a house warming at her newly rented home on Waco drive south of Syracuse on Sunday. Miss Angle received many nice gifts and cake, crackers, punch and coffee were served by Mrs. Denn Kesler and Mrs. Phil Angle of near Our Town. Also present was Pat Black, new elementary art teacher at Syracuse, who is rooming with Ruth. ( Ruth was shocked! Stunned! and More! She said she had not \ been so surprised since a birthday party when she was a child. Diane Kesler had gone over to ask her aunt Ruth's advice on some school work and keep her at home till "the gang" arrived. Miss Angle roomed at the Kesler’s in 1973 and lived in the home of Dr and Mrs. Homer Burke in 1974 while they were in Nigeria. MRS. EMMA Krauter of Our Town reports to us she recently sent over a dozen lap robes to a veterans hospital in Lafayette and with the supplies and help furnished by members of the American Legion Auxiliary, more lap robes will be sent to other places in the near future. THE MILFORD gymnasium was filled with excitement last Saturday as the Trojans hosted a seventh grade four-way tourney with Bremen. Triton, Wakarusa and Milford participating. Observed at the tourney were some proud grandparents. Mr. and Mrs. Dan Levernier and Mrs. Partha Miller of Our Town, as they watched their grandson. Tracy Miller, a member of the Bremen Lions' team who lost to the Wakarusa Indians in a very exciting championship game.
Tracy is the son of Doug and Dana (Levernier) Miller and rs one recalls back to 1961, Doug will be remembered as one of the members of the Milford Trojans' basketball team who captured the Kosciusko county basketball championship that year! O—AN ADDED NOTE: The Milford seventh grade basketball team and its coach Richard Bender deserve much credit for the determination and spirit they possessed during the season. Despite many discouraging games, each boy tried his best for coach Bender, for the team and for the school. As the saying goes, "It’s easy to be a good winner, but not so easy to be a good loser!” We re proud of these young boys and would like them to know it!

Bob Spearman of Dewart Lake said he too had a daughter in the WHS athletic program. He said he was trying to broaden his view as there were other elements too and it looked as though continued maintenance was all but impossible without the funds. He dosed by saying, "It’s easier to keep up than to try to catch up.” Board member Floyd Baker said he felt Wawasee was doing very well by the girls as the school’s program is equal or above many other schools in the area. Board member Philip Payne asked those [resent if the current economic situation, which is not the best, changed their feelings on the keeping of the tax. Spearman said he felt it was an investment in youth and others agreed. Again it was pointed out that the tax could be lowered if necessary, however, it could not be raised. Permission was granted to advertise for renewal of the fund. A hearing was set for the March meeting which is the second Tuesday of the month. Permission was also granted to advertise for temporary loan
warrants which will be used to operate the general fund until June tax monies are available. In answer to a request from board member Payne on the amount the corporation is paying in fuel adjustment costs business manager Marion Lantz presented a list of bills which had been approved for payment in January of 1974 and 1975. The fuel adjustment cost for all buildings in the corporation during January of 1974 was $44.52. The adjustment in 1975 was $1,005.24. Electric bills from Northern Indiana Public Service Companytotaled $8,109.98 for the elementary and junior high schools in the corporation The REMC bill totaled $2,132.69 at Wawasee high school and the administrative building. Members of the board received bids for custodial and classroom supplies from 18 bidders. Business manager Lantz will tabulate the bids and report back to the board at a called meeting on February 25. On the recommendation of superintendent Arnold the fee for driver training was left at $25 for the coming summer and students in the recreational, swimming, instrumental and classroom programs will be charged $3. The instrumental program was added to the list this year to incourage attendance. Superintendent Arnold noted where students are charged a small fee they attend more frequently. It is expensive for the school corporation to hire a teacher for a program and then not have the students participate on a regular schedule. Following adjournment the board reconvened as a board of finance to designate public depositories for the ensuing twoyear period. Monies will be deposited on a percentage basis in the First National Bank’s Milford branch, in the State Bank of Syracuse, the Counting House Bank and the Lake City Bank's North Webster branch.
Registration continues for WHS adult classes
Classes being offered will be held if 10 or more individuals register before the class meets. If there is not a sufficient number registering for a class, those who did register will be notified by phone before the first class meeting scheduled. Registration for the adult evening classes, which are scheduled to begin next Tuesday or Thursday, is still being conducted at Wawasee high school. The classes are scheduled to
