Last in a series — 391 plan to attend final SHS banquet in old school

The following is the last in a series of articles on the history of Syracuse High School. This final story will focus on the high school’s final banquet. Prior to the demolition of the old Syracuse High School, the Syracuse High School Alumna Association will be holding a final banquet at the school. The banquet, slated for Saturday evening, May 26, will be held in the school’s old gymnasium. An annual event, the banquet usually draws about 125 people reported reservation chairwoman and treasurer of the alumna association, Susie Tytler. Having expected around 150 to register for this year’s festivities, Tytler was very surprised to receive about 390 reservations. “Everyone wants to come home,” Tytler remarked. Those planning the celebration include Ralph Coy, president of the alumna association; Priscilla Rhode, vice president; Susie Tytler, treasurer and reservation chairwoman; Jean Insley, membership chairwoman; and Marsha Fisher, recording secretary.

The banquet kicks off at 6:30 p.m. with a social hour. The buffet will begin at 7 p.m. Entertainment at the banquet will be provided by the Lakes Area Community Band. Tytler added the 50-year class and the 60-year class will be honored during the evening. Tytler noted the first class to graduate from the Syracuse High School was in 1929. And the first class to complete grades seven through 12 in this building was the class of 1935. The last class to graduate from this facility was the class of 1968. “Practically all of them (the classes) will be represented,” said Tytler, adding, it is possible there will be a representative from the class of 1908. (This would be a graduate of Syracuse High School, but not a student from this particular building.) While this year’s banquet represents the last banquet to be held at the old high school, Tytler assured that the Syracuse High School Alumna Association will continue to meet after the building’s demolition. Where they will meet will be decided at a later date. All alumni will be informed of the new location as soon as it is known, Tytler concluded.

Displaying a flag When the United States flag is not flown from a staff, it should be displayed flat, whether indoors or out, or so suspended that its folds fall free. When displayed either horizontally or vertically against a wall or in a window, the union should be uppermost and to the left of the observer in the street. Discarding of flags A worn-out or unserviceable United States flag should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning, and in private without ceremony. According to an approved custom, the Union is first cut from the flag; and then the two pieces, which no longer form a flag, are cremated. Annual cost The total cost for the care and treatment of Alzheimer’s patients has reached SBB billion per year. The average cost of care for one Alzheimer’s patient who has been institutionalized is between $20,000 and $35,000 annually.

' ’t.L i Ul p- i_ .UaßldMilMFiuM READY FOR ICE CREAM SOCIAL — During their meeting on Monday members of the Milford Lions Club put finishing touches on their plans to hold an ice cream social during Saturday’s MilfordFest. They also received a promise from Lions International Director James S. Cameron that he would attend the ice cream social and would bring a pie with him. Following the evening’s program, Cameron was presented a Milford Lions vest.

International director visits, promises to attend Milford-Fest

Lions International Director and Mrs. James S. Cameron of Urbana were guests of the Milford Lions Club on Monday night. ID Cameron showed slides and told about the Lions trip to Guatemala last fall, shared his experiences in Budapest, Hungary, and promised to return to Milford on Saturday to participate in the Lions-sponsored ice cream social during the Milford-Fest. Cameron shared events of the trip to Guatemala when 15 ambulances and a van were driven from Indiana to Central America. The ambulances were loaded with clothing, school books, eyeglasses and toys for the people of Guatemala. Among the 50 plus persons working in Guatemala with the Camerons this year were Past District Governor D. G. and Jeri Seely of Milford. Arriving in Guatemala with the ambulances, the second part of the mission was the,,distribution of eyeglasses to the people of Santiago Atitlan. The eyeglasses which were not used were donated to two Lions clinics in Guatemala. The clothing was given to the Lions of Guatemala and has been distributed to the poor people in the several areas of the country served by the Guatemalan Lions. Many of the toys and books were distributed by the Lions from the USA while others were left with the Guatemalan Lions for distribution. Cameron then told about being in Budapest and participating in ceremonies when that country declared its independence last fall. Prior to leaving Milford, Cameron promised to return Saturday to participate in the Milford-Fest ice cream social. Queen Named Second Vice President Seely presided over the business of the evening. Fred Weisser, a member of the queen’s committee, said they had chosen Leticia Zuniga, a 19-year-old, resident of r 5 Syracuse, to be the club’s representative in the “Queen of Lakes” contest at the Mermaid Festival this year. Leticia is the daughter of Daniel and Lupe Zuniga and is a 1989 graduate of Wawasee High School. She will wear the title of

She is a graduate of the Charmaine Finishing School and Modeling School. Milford-Fest Wayne Richardson, a member of the Milford-Fest committee, reported a total of 35 garage sales and 13 craft booths have been lined up. Dr. Bruce Lamb, speaking for the Lions ice cream social committee, said Lions were needed to help set up at the community building following the 9 a.m. breakfast. Club members will also be needed to help make the ice cream, beginning at 2 p.m. Saturday and additional workers will be needed around 4 p.m. to finish getting ready for the event which is slated to begin at 5 p.m. Seely reminded the Lions of the parade on Monday and urged all to participate.

Several residents involved with various emergency services throughout the county voiced their support of the resolution to use the EMS lane system as the basis of Enhanced 911. “The current system works and I know because I developed it for the North Webster area and I’ve been involved with the EMS for more than 30 years,” stated Dick Mitchell, Tippecanoe Township Trustee. “I’ve been trying to find people all over the county for the past 22 years and I just want to echo the sentiment expressed by other emergency services personnel that the EMS lane system works best for us,” emphasized Ron Robinson, Kosciusko County Sheriff. Even though the commissioners adopted the proposal to use the existing EMS lane addressing system for the Enhanc-

Lions’ queen contestant will be able to lead the delegation.

First Vice President Tom Sorensen reminded the Lions the June 4 and 18 meetings will be held at the food stand in North Webster. The Lions will spend both evenings cleaning the stand and getting ready for the Mermaid Festival. Secretary Dr. Gervas Schafer reminded those present how important is is that all Lions work at least three shifts during the festival and encouraged wives and other family members to join in the project. Seely reminded club members they should meet at the community building at 6 p.m. on Wednesday and Thursday to canvass the town for calendar sales. Jim Showalter made a motion the club donate S3OO to send children to the deaf camp this summer. Sorensen seconded the motion which was passed by those in attendance.

ed 911 emergency dispatching program in the county, an issue of concern brought forth last night concerns the issue of what addressing system the postal service will use for rural residents in the county. Several post office representatives expressed concern last night that the use of the EMS lane system for mail delivery would not be in the best interest of citizens. The postal employees informed the commissioners that the EMS lane system would cause delays in mail delivery in some instances if used by their office because of the additional handling that would be required of some items. “We’re sympathetic to the situation of the post office with the numbering system and we’re committed to sit down with them and work out a solution that works best for everyone,” Maenhout said. “This is a difficult issue to resolve with the concerns of everyone involved, but this system is one to work with the emergency services people as best as possible,” Maenhout concluded.
