All this furor about the bell at

lot Of "reminiscences of school days
"a group of oldsters the other day
recalling Erette Cramer, janitor,
favorite of the kids. Always ready
to give the youngsters a lucky
break, he invariably delayed ringing
of the gong in the lower hall a few
seconds when late-comers were
hurrying to get to their classrooms
mornings and moons in time to es-
cape the penalty for being counted
tardy.
Surprising the sentiment that was
stirred up over the proposal to re-
move the bell--no one apparently
was much concerned until there was
talk of doing away with it. Some
thing like the big elm in the
Presbyterian church yard and the
town clock-oldtimer that it is, it's
surprisingly accurate, thanks to
James Benroth who is following in

as caretaker of the clock and takes
pride in keeping it in tip top operat-
