Time to retire for Milford Elementary School secretary

By GAIL WIDMOYER ■ Although it’s been a “super job,” Mrs. Robert (Eudora) Hurd feels it is time for her to retire from her 20-year position as secretary of the Milford Elementary School. “I decided before any more time passes me by and I don’t get to do some of those fun things at home, I’d better retire,” commented Mrs. Hurd, 54, who has been considering her retirement for several years. “I love to garden, work in the yard, crochet and knit. Plus my daughter (Brenda Baumgartner from Nappanee) is expecting twins this summer and I suppose I’ll spend a lot of my time down there,” she continued. Working as an elementary school secretary involves more than a routine secretarial job. Besides her bookkeeping and secretarial duties, Mrs. Hurd was often chief nurse, confidant and detective. “You wouldn’t believe the number of kids who come in here in one day having lost their lunch tickets,” commented Mrs. Hurd who paused to answer a visitor’s question. “That’s what it’s like most of the time in here,” she explained. “There are interruptions all day long.” “The job has really changed a lot since I first started,” said Mrs. Hurd who first began her job 20 years ago under Harold Young. “I told Mr. Young if he ever needed a secretary, I’d be interested in the job. That was before he even had a secretary. Then when the corporation told him he had to hire help, he called me.” After Mr. Young, Mrs. Hurd worked with Gorman Miller, Lewis S. Immel and Ned Speicher

as a secretary with increasing duties. Looking Back Most prominent in Mrs. Hurd’s mind seems to be the many crises experienced by the children she worked with. Any mother can associate with her children’s hurts and sicknesses, but instead of a family of three or four children, Mrs. Hurd mothered approximately 400 kids from kindergarten through the fifth grade last year alone. Mrs. Hurd has helped children with broken arms, high temperatures, severe cuts to their heads and convulsions. “We’ve had children whose parents don’t have telephones get real sick in school and all I could do was lay them on the couch and

take care of them until it was time for their parents to pick them up,” she remembered. But overall, Mrs. Hurd enjoyed her job. “I love almost every aspect of my work, but it’s time to move on,” she said. Like most people who retire from a school position, Mrs. Hurd will miss “all the good friends I’ve made and working with the children.” However her new grandchildren as well as her hobbies will help keep her busy. Thursday will be the last day Mrs. Hurd will sit behind the counter and desk at the elementary school, but since she lives just across the street, she isn’t too far away for her school friends to visit.

Some big surprises

By EDWARD THORLUND One of the more interesting revelations about the bull market of recent months was the disclosure that some of the blue-chip stocks which rose were, in fact, being sold by the institutions. The big surprise, according to the findings of Computer Directions Advisors, as reported by the Wall Street Journal, is that institutions sold $394 million of IBM stock from January through March. Normally, this kind of selling would have depressed almost any stock. But IBM went up, in spite of this institutional selling. IBM advanced $5 in the first quarter of 1983. The conclusion must, therefore, be that individuals are back in the market, in strength.
