THIS OLD photo of the Milford first grade class that started to school in 1942 was brought to our office by their teacher, Mrs. Robert (June Coy) Laudeman. Mrs. Laudeman taught school in Milford for 10 years and then continued to teach in Wabash and Huntington until she retired in 1972. During the 1942-43 school year Mrs. Laudeman had 39 students. Six students were not present when this photo was taken. She was 20 years old her first year of teaching first grade in Milford and she had 43 students enrolled in her class. “That was an enormous teaching load and my parents, the late Irvin L. and Della Coy, helped me check papers and prepare lessons every night. Now Prime Time requires no more than 18 students in a first grade class room. That’s how times have changed. I was so glad to have a teaching job back in those depression days that I did many hours of work each day without complaining or striking. In fact, teachers didn’t strike or negotiate for higher wages until recent years,” laughed Mrs. Laudeman. After the Laudemans were settled in their newly built retirement home on the North Shore Drive, Syracuse Lake, Mrs. Laudeman felt the need to do substitute teaching in area schools. Since her teaching at Milford she has earned degrees that entitle her to teach on both elementary and high school levels. She has also earned a Florida teaching license and teaches as a substitute teacher in the four schools in Avon Park, Fla., where the Laudemans own a home and spend their winters. “As long as I enjoy good health, retirement will be just a word for me,” said Mrs. Laudeman. Students pictured are front row. Eddie Phillips. Donald Kinney. George Bowler, Irene Wuthrich. Philip Campbell, Lois Fox, James Moore and Frank Grove.

J jpTH AN MHWUNnFW tMILFORD BRIAN AND DORIS WALL IN MILFORD, IRELAND

Dewart Lake residents went to Ireland to visit with Cormick Brennen of Shannon and Eugene McCarthy of Tulia since both men have been visitors in the Wall home while in Indiana on business with R. R. Donnelley Co., Warsaw. While viewing the sites in the northwestern part of Ireland the Wall family found Milford, Ireland, on their map and took a

quick side trip to the village. Doris reports it is about the same size as Milford, Ind., maybe a little smaller. It is a quiet, clean town with very old buildings. They did not have much time to spend in the town and were only in Ireland for 19 days but someday they plan to make a return trip to this land of shamrocks and a town called Milford.
