To celebrate the 25th year of its operation in Syracuse, the Weatherhead Company held an open house on September 18,1977, at its facility. The coming of the Weatherhead plant to Syracuse and surrounding area was considered a great boom to the community which raised through a Chamber of Commerce drive. $30,000 toward the acquiring of the land and construction of the plant. More than two dozen locations were considered as possible sites for a plant before Syracuse was selected. During the time of the fund drive, Mr. and Mrs. Eli Lilly, long-time patrons of Syracuse and Wawasee, pledged for each dollar contributed they would give $2. Lilly was quoted as saying, ‘‘lt is the finest thing that has ever happened to the community.” A door to door survey was made by 60 persons to determine the availability of labor when the plant was in the planning stages. Initial plant employees participated in the construction of the 376x300 foot building. The annual payroll was estimated to be $30,000. When it began production, the plant was to supply Ermeto tube fittings, hose and tube assemblies. hydraulic control kits and all steel reusable hose-ends for tanks and combat vehicles used during the Korean War. Production began in 1952. At the time of last year’s open
house, the plant had 500 employees, which included 420 hourly employees and 80 salaried ones, with an estimated annual payroll of six million dollars.

payments, William Beemer, a citizen attending the meeting, commented that ‘‘l would like to see the time come when we can eliminate this kind of expenditure. When the building project ends, I would like to see this end.” Another citizen, Betty Dust, said her concern was with the adult education classes. She said she knew several people who were interested in the classes, but found that high school graduates must pay $27 for a course, while non-graduates only pay $5. She called this “discrimination” and said she knew some people who just couldn’t afford the $27. Arnold said there was no distinction in payment up until this year and the state paid the full amount of costs. However, the last legislature changed that and can no longer reimburse the school for graduates taking the courses. Mrs. Dust said she planned to write to her state senator about “this discrimination.” Superintendent Arnold released the official enrollment figures for Lakeland Community Schools as of September 15, tabulated by John A. Naab, curriculum coordinator. Students at Milford total 569; at North W’ebster, 673; at Syracuse, 871; and at Wawasee High School 1,024, for a grand total of 3,137, plus 16 students enrolled at Cardinal Learning Center at Warsaw, or a total of 3,153 in all.
