By SUSAN BENNETT On Friday, two long-time bus drivers will travel their last miles before retiring from the Lakeland Community School system. Jerry Bushong, r 1 Milford, has been a driver for the past 23 years. The 32-year resident of Waubee Lake started when the drivers owned the chassis of the buses and the school system the bodies, making the bus driver responsible for the chassis. "They thought it was a much cheaper way," Bushong said, than the buses being totally owned by the system as they are now. Bushong began driving his daily route to supplement his income as a plasterer and dry wall man. It was also "something to do in the wintertime." His route has about 70 students on it. "It's always been somewhere near that," Bushong added. At one time, he used to haul nearly every student in school, on routes or field trips or extracurricular.events. "Kids are still kids," Bushong observed. "They know what they can get away with and know that's as far as they go." He has liked to take the students to field trips, watching them see things they

haven't seen before and go places they've never been. "I think it's about time," Bushong says of his retirement. "I'm going to enjoy it, I hope." He intends to travel and just do what he wants to. "I'm not planning anything," Bushong said, but he doesn't want to shovel any snow next winter. He and his recently retired wife Kathryn have two married children — John Bushong, South Bend; and Mrs. D. G. Seely of Milford. They also have a grandson, Scott. For a number of years, Bushong transported the Milford and Wawasee basketball teams. And in his career he has missed just one Wawasee football game as a driver, that being the Jamboree last August when son, John, got married. Some 12 years ago, the school system was short bus drivers and superintendent Don Arnold, through Ralph Berkey pile, coaxed Dan Levernier, 102 North Main, Milford, into driving a school bus for a year. That year grew to 12. years. "I've enjoyed my 12 years of driving but it's just interfering with my business too much," Levernier said of his decision to retire. He operates as a salesman for Midwestern United Life Insurance Company, as he-has for 27 years.

Levernier said his job as bus driver is a good one and particularly interesting if one likes children. But he said it includes a lot of pressure, too, about road conditions and watching for the other drivers. Levernier has driven the wrestling team for several years. "I enjoy driving a team and following them through a season," he commented. He has also driven on other extra-curricular trips and enjoyed the longer ones particularly. Along on many of those long trips was Jerry Bushong. Thursday the two will bus students to Patawatomi Park in South Bend from the eighth grade and have a kind of "farewell party" for each other. He, too, has noticed how children have changed. He had a kindergarten child just tell him no one could spank her. "That's the way they're being sent to school these days," Levernier said. Levernier's route consists of 60 students presently. He's calculated he's driven 150,000 miles in his dozen years. But after Friday, it will be just the business, wife Mary, four children, Mrs Douglas Miller of Bremen, Mrs. David Mann of Winona Lake, Tom and Tim, both of Milford and nine grandchildren.
