Our sesquicentennial memories photo of the week goes back to 1923 and features a Milford High School Basketball Team. This team brings back many a memory for avid basketball teams. Just two short years later, in 1925, Milford participated in the state tournament. From left to right in the above photo, loaned to us by Donn Kesler, are Ralph Godshalk, Clayton Hollar, Harry Schultz, James Hammon and Noble Miller. Hollar, Schultz, Hammon and Miller were all members of the team that

Remember this basketball team?

made the trip to Indianapolis. Basketball in Milford.in the early 1920 s was something to talk about. In the early ’2os, games were played in the old Milford Sale pavilion, located where Levernier’s Body Shop is now located. Teams dressed in nearby homes. It couldn’t have been too bad, however, since the country tournament of 1922 was played there. Work began on the new Milford High School gym and community building in 1924. It was the best gym in the county when it was completed and the county tournament was held there in 1925.

SHOWN IN the photo at the bottom of this column, taken by M-J photographer Glen Long, are Rob Northrup, left, and Karl Schmucker, employees of The Papers Incorporated, with a pile of mashed cans that are ready to be turned in for recycling at Fort Wayne. Six months ago, the company switched its pop machines from bottles to cans. This load is approximately 270 pounds. There is also another load that will be taken soon. —O'BILLY G. LITTLE, an ardent IU fan if this community ever had one, attended the lU-Montana State game at the IU campus Saturday afternoon, sitting in a choice VIP seat. He was a member of a Fort Wayne party that flew to Bloomington for the game that saw Bill’s favorite Big Red win with a score of 90 to 55. So much of an IU fan is Bill that he flies a large IU flag in the front yard of his South Main Street home each time the IU football or basketball team wins a game. —o— CONNIE SMITH had a Unique system for giving door prizes at her annual Christmas open house at Smith Flowers this year. She numbered prizes and then let each person visiting the shop draw a number and try and match it with the numbers on the items on display throughout the shop.

Jeff Dippon made a statement to a representative from DeKalb that he has a good yield from their soybeans. It was apparently the correct statement to make. For... ... while he was shelling corn in late October or early November, a representative appeared with camera man and asked him to make a statement about the beans. Jeff did. The results: the commercials that are currently running on television for Dekalb. With Jeff in the commercials is his uncle, Max Anglin. IT’S BEGINNING to look a lot like Christmas... With Christians all over the world preparing to celebrate the birth of the Christ Child and Santa’s annual visit only three weeks away, many homes are beginning to take on a holiday look. Decorated Christmas trees are appearing in windows and outside lights decorate many homes in the area. Two homes in Milford that are worth taking a look at are those of the Wayne Richardsons and Richard McMillins on South Main Street. With their lights, Richardsons have once again placed a giant Christmas card in their yard. The McMillins have the traditional manger scene. Southeast of town are the homes of the Elmer Sorensens and Robert Longs. Wreaths in the windows and effective lighting from the yard give the Sorensen home a very festive look at night and Rudolph, complete with lighted red nose, can be found bn the garage roof of the Long home. Churches throughout the community are planning to hold Christmas programs in the coming weeks, all will be a little different but all will tell the story of the birth of the Christ Child. A list of these programs will be printed on this newspaper's church page next week. The Milford Schools will present their annual Christmas pro-

Vandalism at Liquor Locker

A business on Syracuse’s south side suffered S3OO in damages early Friday morning, Nov. 27, according to Syracuse Police. A vehicle knocked a stop sign across the front parking lot of the Liquor Locker, 748 S. Huntington St., and broke a night-light pole to account for the damages.

gram on Thursday night, Dec. 11. This program is open to the public and always provides an entertaining evening. WITH THANKSGIVING behind them, many of the area’s Senior Citizens are heading for warmer climates to be joined there by their children and grandchildren over the Christmas holidays. We received the following note from a couple wintering in a Florida mobile home park. It was written by Frances Katenbrink and we feel it worth sharing. A Child’s View Os Retirement “When school re-convened after Christmas break, the teacher asked her small pupils how they had spent the holiday. One small boy’s reply went something like this: “ ‘We always go to my grandma’s for Christmas. They used to live up here in a big brick house, but my grandpa retarded and they moved to Florida. So we went to Florida. “ ‘They live in a place with a lot of other retarded people, and they all live in houses made out of tin. They ride great big old tricicles and go to a big building that they call ‘the wrecked hall,’ but if it was wrecked, it got fixed, 'cause it’s all right now. They play games and do exercises, but they don’t do them very good. “ There is a swimming pool and they go to it and just stand in the water with their hats on. I guess they don’t know how to swim. “ ‘My grandma used to make cookies ’n stuff but 1 guess she forgot how. Nobody cooks, they just eat in restaurants. Where you go into the place, there is a little doll house where a man sits all day, watching you so you can’t get out without him seeing you. ‘ ‘My grandma says grandpa worked all his live and earned his retardment, but I wish they'd move back up here! ’ ”

Proprietors at the business reported the vandalism at 1:30 am., noting that the person(s) causing the damage had left the scene. The case is still under investigation. Financial aid meeting at Wawasee There will be a financial aid meeting for parents of seniors planning to apply for financial aid on Thursday, Dec. 11, at 7 p.m. The meeting will be in the Wawasee High School Auditorium. Steve Petty, financial aid director from Grace College, will be presenting the program. There are many changes in the financial aid picture making it imperative for senior parents to attend, according to Marilynne Curtis, guidance director. Parents of junior students are also welcome. The FAF forms will be available as well as loan, grant, and scholarship information. Wisdom The sum of wisdom is that time is never lost that is devoted to work. — Grit
