Gilbert is the 1984 chairman for Koscuisko County’s United Way fund drive. Although this is his first time in the chairman’s seat, Gilbert has been involved in the United Way for several years. He served two years as director of the northern communities in the county and was vice chairman of the county drive last year. As chairman, his major resposibility is te organize the county-wide system of volunteer who work to meet the present goal of $450,000. Volunteers work to raise money in all areas of the community including factories, corporation exeeutive offices, local service clubs, small businesses, educational institutions and sororities. “I find one person to head up each of these areas and they go out and to help them,’’ Gilbert exßßkd “It turns into something liKe a big pyramid.” In addition to his organizational duties. Gilbert spends time promoting the drive in local businesses. “I’ll spend a lot of time going into plants or service organizations,’’ he noted.-“We take a United Way film along and talk a bit about the fund drive. That is the best way to get the message across.” It takes a lot of time to coordinate a campaign of this size, but Gilbert is a firm believer in the United Way cause. “I think it is the most efficient method of giving, and contributing to the needs of a community,” he said. “You don’t give to United Way, you give through United Way to all of the agencies that we have.” Nearly 20 county agencies, ranging from Boy Scouts to senior citizens services such as the mobile meals program, receive funds from the United Way. Because most of these programs charge fees which are based on a person’s ability to pay, they need ouside funding to support their operation. “Take the day care center in Syracuse, for example,” Gilbert said. “People pay according to their ability to pay. Most United Way agencies are that way. If people can afford the services, fine. If they can’t, the difference gets made up out of United Way.” “I am very optimistic about reaching our goal for the year,” Gilbert said. “I think this is a great organization and this county is just head and shoulders above some others in the amount of money that is given.” Gilbert's enthusiasm, so evident in his work for the United Way cause, also punctuates his work for the school corporation.

After graduating from Bedford (Ind.) High School in 1955, Gilbert served a four-year tour in the Marine Corps. A portion of his Marine Corps service was spent in the Military Police, leading Gilbert to consider a career as a state trooper. But the state did not sponsor a police academy the year that Gilbert was -discharged from the Marines and he wound up at Indiana University instead. “I had played football in high school and my coach sent me to I.U. to see Phil Dickens, who was the coach at that time,” Gilbert explained. “He arranged to give me a scholarship and I played my freshman year as a linebacker.” An injury cut short his football short, but Gilbert continued on to earn a degree in D business and physical education from I.U. in 1964. He followed that with an M.S. in 1967 and then moved to Warsaw to begin his teaching and coaching career. After moving to Warsaw, he continued his education with an Ed.S. degree from Ball State in 1980. Since entering the educational

field, he has served as a teacher, coach, assistant principal, principal, assistant superintendent for curriculum and his present position. Although he enjoys his current job, he would like to climb one more rung on the ladder. “My career goal is to be a superintendent, but I’m not exactly sure why. I suppose you prepare and head towards a goal,” he said. “You spend so many years training for it that you want to try it and see if you can do it.” “I think that working with the community and working With people are the best parts of this job,” he said. “Working with education is a challenge because it changes constantly. “It is very rewarding to work with kids and watch them graduate from high school knowing you’ve had something to do with that,” he added. “We have a great school system here and I am very proud to be a part of it.” When he’s not raising funds or handling negotiations for the school corporation, Gilbert enjoys running, sailing, reading, fixing up antiques and cheering on the I.U. football and basketball teams. He and his wife, Sonjia, live on r 4, Syracuse. She works as the elementary library coordinator for the Warsaw schools. The Gilberts have two children; Troy, a senior at 1.U., and Darci, an I.U. sophomore.
