(Continued from page 4) them Illinois University I taught a course in normal human development. The laboratory portion of that course Was to take students to observe children in schools from kindergarten through high school to learn about normal child development. This experience took me into a great variety of schools throughout the Chicagoland area. I have yet to observe in a school that surpasses the Syracuse Elementary, Syracuse Middle School or Wawasee High School. Our high school students from the combined communities of Milford, North Webster, and Syracuse can compete among the best. We have excellent medical facilities here with support services in Goshen and Warsaw. In addition we have access to the medical facilities in South Bend and Fort Wayne and a mini Mayo Clinic at the Caylor-Nickel Clinic in Bluffton. In addition we have one of the most effective ministerial associations I have ever known about. These dedicated people who all believe in Christ but through their denominational beliefs express it in different ways have worked together to develop a non-denominational “Boat In” summer worship on Lake Wawasee. They have also spearheaded the Lakeland Day Care Center which is a valued asset to this tyWe have law enforcement officers with the

Among those Kosciusko County youth recognized for their academic achievements were Keith Bice, Milford Junior High, and Daniel Zink, Warsaw Middle School.

city, county and Department of Natural Resources who really care about people. We also have a summer stock theater. Even renowned people have visited here and continue to do so. The Princess and Prince of Siam honeymooned here at the Spink Hotel years ago, and currently the popular actors Rob Lowe and Christopher Atkins spend many summer weekends on Wawasee. Because our son has just finished his freshman year at Wawasee High School, Doug and I have for the first time had the opportunity to know people from the communities of North Webster and Milford. Their strengths, including moderate midwestern values, are observable in their children at the high school. We look forward to knowing more of these people as our horizon of this area expands. We know that there are problems here too. This area is not alone in facing the problems that lie before it. It is through problem solving, however, that communities grow and develop. I would rather be trying to help solve problems here than problems that many other areas face. What I am really trying to say is that Doug, Russell, and I chose to live here for the reasons listed above. I’m proud to say that I call Syracuse, Ind., “home.” I hope that you do too!

This unique view of a portion of Syracuse was taken 101 years ago, in 1886. In the foreground is the backside of a house that was located on the sight of the old high school, now the lower parking lot. Directly across the street is the “First Charter” building which is still standing after a renovation a few years ago. The house across the street and to the left is located where the present day library is. The house that was located on the library lot is believed to be the same home that is located next to the bridge at the corner of West Main and Mill
