AROUND @3lv Now comes a letter from ' Mrs. Leland (Margaret Walker Clapp of Indianapolis who claims there is “very little Syracuse news’* in The M-J. a She questions. "Doesn't someone 'over-there' turn in activities? The school is well done. Lake people take less part, I guess than they used to do. Os course I look for names of people who I knew — and many are now gone.” On the Bicentennial issue some interesting fatts were given, she said. “But again. Syracuse was not on the map in 1776." She continued by saying. “Early 1866 though brought the Kitsons. Dolans and many others. In some issues of Journal, there were articles of Syracuse history.” Mrs Clapp recently retired from teaching English at State Tech of Indianapolis Her father was a newspaper man who started the Journal. John Sudlow. the pier man. has a sensfcjof local history, and he's the kind of fellow who does something about it. John has taken it upon himself to bring together graduates of the old Vawter Park school, located on the northeast corner of road 13 and road 8. across the road east from the new Harris funeral home south of town He’s been on the telephone, calling "old grads" throughout the country to come to a reunion at the M A M Case on Sunday. Sept. 26. "I’m surprised at the response I’ve had," John exudes While he planned for a group of about 25. it now looks like about 50 or more will come. The school was one of several township schools in operation before township school consolidation. a one-room, red brick building, listed as Turkey Creek Township District VI School. John attended the school off and on and finally graduated there, riding his bicycle into Syracuse to take the graduation test He recalls the old building being torn down in 1934. said it was built in 1961. Other township schools included the unlikely names of Dismal. Africa and Guy. We're expecting a fuller history of the old Vawter Park school and others to come out at their Sept. 2* reunion.

his liberty in the pursuit of happiness. The Beaty Associates sign on the uptown building says “Sold.” Dan Stephan confirms the building has been sold to Mr. and Mrs. Fred Byland, uptown jeweler, who plans to move his store from its corner location when the new acquisition is remodeled. Purchase was made from the estate of the late Leonard Nichols. Byland has been in the jewelry business in uptown Syracuse since 1968, in the same location since 1969 There's an undercurrent of discontent at the county highway department over the county council's austerity program, that just might break out into the open soon. To quote one employee, "the fur will fly when the snow flies." Not just sure what that means. The roof on the main building of the old Syracuse lumber yard, located on Huntington street just north of the B & O tracks, fell in over the week end. It's unlikely the building, owned by other than local interests, will be repaired. The Big Three at Thornburg's (John. Larry and Ralph) back at their posts following nearly a week in NYC on a buying trip. Kent and Kay Hare and Kent's mother .Mary are looking forward to 1977 when they can observe the 50th year their store has been in operation in the same family. Kent states his grandfather, the late Forrest ("Frosty ”) Galloway and Mrs (Ruby) Galloway started the store in 1927 in a tent located where the conservation building is nowlocated When Kent's father, the late Bill Hare, married the Galloway daughter Mary, he fell-to and worked in the family business. Mary still puts in her hours, but Kent is there back of the meat counter representing the third generation. But not to be overlooked are Kent and Kay’s children. Chris. 13. and Pat, 12. both “little helpers.” Beginning when they were so small they had to stand up to a meat block on a coke case, they have learned the honorable art of cutting meat, and promise to keep Galloway's grocery in the family for a good many years to come There's a touch of irony in the fact that the first funeral in the new Harris funeral home on road 13 south of Syracuse was for a young man who died as the result of an accident just a short distance north of the funeral home. It was for Ricky G Leer, a 20-year-old Syracuse youth, whose funeral was Monday pm. A local NAPA employee responded to an earlier Cruzin article with the following item: The two persons who tried to find out how many words one can make out of the letters in the name Dannette Rosner must have had "Ten rodents near" which using all the letters is called an "anagram ”. Judge and Mrs. John C. Hagen returned Saturday from San Antonio. Texas, where they visited their daughter Debbie and her family . The Syracuse plan commission has the names of three area attorneys on the table for consideration. to replace Robert Reed who resigned at last Tuesday's town board meeting No "leanings'’ have been reported, but no one can be certain that a replacement will be named in the near future We hear copies of the 1976 "Legend” are being distributed at Wawasee high school. Members of the class of *76 must pick up their copies by October 1.

- According to yearbook records the following grads still need to pick up their copies: Jane Butts. Grace Collins, Greg Hickman. Deb Holmes. Deb Kruger, Toni Pearson. Alun Rees. Jim Soden and Mike Tethrake. If not claimed by October 1, the books will be sold on October 4. If you've noticed the big sunflower near the Pickwick Place sign, it was placed there by Lola Pinney and townsman Leonard Barnhart. Leonard claims to have grown it. The sunflower is 16 inches in diameter and has an 8-foot stalk, be claims. NEW LIFE CRUSADE — Calvary United Methodist church.
