Celebrdng Our 13th Year? Volume 13, Issue 1 January 2006 A New Look for the Wall of Honor In the 1950’ s and 60’ s photographs 30” x 40” in size were made of winning basketball and football teams and hand colored. Three of those were made by the former Adams Studio of Kokomo. One was made by Jenkins Studio of Greentown. Those hang in the hall at EHS. Later, 16” x 20” photographs of exceptional teams and individuals were added. With more sports being added to the choices offered at Eastern and with many successful seasons in several sports, the number of portraits has grown to nearly 40 teams and 80 individual athletes with new pictures added every year. Brad Wilson, Athletic Director, planned a “ new” display of pictures in a manner that would make the pictures uniform, chronological in order,. more secure, and names easily readable. There was also an economy of space as tracks were installed and uniform spacing established. The project has been paid for out of the Capital Projects Fund. All individual Dortraits can now be found in the hall nortt of the main gym. A decisioi has not been reached as to whei a similar framing system will bc provided for the tean photographs, but this is a futurc project. There are a few of thc original individual picture! remaining at the high schoo Athletic Office. Mr. Wilsoi has made these available to thc individual athletes free o charge. To make arrangement to pick up a portrait, call him a 628- 5004. - Childhood Memories of Greentown by Martha Lou Zirkle I was raised on a farm 2 ‘/ 2 miles from Greentown. One of my fondest memories was coming into town from the west in the spring after the trees got their leaves. It was such a neat sight. They made an arch that went all the way down Main Street. It always seemed to me that the town ‘ trees got their leaves before the ones in the country. When I think of the town businesses I always start with the Ford Home, which was located on the east side of South Meridian Street, where the Community Health Center is now. We usually stopped in there when we came to town. My two uncles, Hanley and Cedric Golding, owned . it. I always would head for their office and climb up into the large leather swivel chair. Sometimes I’d have to fight off my sister Norma Jean. It was so much fun to swing back and forth. Ross Wyrick was lead salesman. I can still see Ross with his hat set on his head a little “ cockeyed” with a cigarette in his hand. Petro’s Hardware was b e t w e e n t h e p r e s e n t Greentown History Center and Mast Furniture & Gifts Annex. That spot is a parking lot for Hasler- Stout Funeral Home now. The hardware store was such an interesting place. It had a lot of cabinets with a lot of little drawers which fascinated me. In the space now occupied by Down on Main Street Bill and Dorothy Condon opened a restaurant after W WII when Bill got home from the Navy. After that it was Smitty’s Goody Shoppe. Mary France ( Cranor) Mast Pier workec there and dipped a, lot of icl cream cones. The stairway between th present Down on Main Stree and King Chef led to th T e l e p h o n e C o . T h switchboard was up there. Th telephone operator woulr answer, “ Number please” an( would ring the number yot asked for. Our ring was : longs. There would bc possibly 4 or 5 people on you line and you would hear eve? ring. The Police Office was in thc City Building, as it is today but not exactly in the samc location in the building. Vel Garrett was Town Marshal He patrolled the town on foot. Continued on page .! by Rebecca Willis Yeeehaw! Yep, it is that time of year again! Get ready to saddle your horses and hang on for dear life as Eastern High School’s Drama Department takes you on a comical adventure through the Wild West. “ The Taming of Judge Roy Bean” by Pat Cook, is set in western Texas in the late 1800’ s when the thieves are thick and the idea of a good ’ time involves fatal hangings and pointless shootouts. As Zach McQuiston takes center stage, portraying the ruthless and revered Judge Roy Bean, and Rob Smith, playing the infamous Clem, deputy to the judge, the once thriving town of Langtry takes a turn for the worse. The judge and his three comical sidekicks, played by seniors Andrew Goebel, Kyle Mundell, and Andrew Maher, are sure to evoke eruptive laughter with their outlandish behavior and rugged looks. This rough bunch cleared the town of all questionable citizens, including politicians, merchants, and everyone else who existed until Langtry became no more than a mere ghost town. Appearing seem in gl y stuck in the time of spittoons, saloon brawls, and merciless hangings, Lisa and Butler, played by Jackie Dobbert and Jordan Bennett come to town with ‘ fresh’ ideas of new beginnings. Lisa is the teacher in need of students; Butler is a writer in search of a story, and both find what they are looking for in Judge Roy Bean’ s “ courtroom .” Added plot twists, ranging from gunslingers looking to settle the score with the judge, to pushy mothers and conniving matchmakers, ail help stir up the dust in Langtry. Other cast members include: Alicia Welcher, Joelle Youmans, Chelsie McAnnich, Ashley Wittman, Kayleigh Shackelford, Jamie Fansler, Justin Connelly, Arnoud Stelder, Austin VanMeter, and Austin Shields.
