Milford chronicle., 1960-06-03

Jessify Macklin taught for some
time as did her sister, Audie. Lau-
reta Transeau had the class in
1888. Katie Fitzgerald and Mabel
Donovan filled the time until about
l1946 when Marian Bennett took
the responsibility until about 1850
Somewhere along the way the
class was given the name: '"The
Busy Bees. About 1850 Katie
Fitzgerald was again the teacher
until July of 1858 when the pres
ent teacher, Hazel Swain, was
asked to teach. Nothing has been
said about substitute teachers, but
one that stands out in our thoughts
is Eliza Lofland. She substituted
off and on for years until Mrs
Fitzgerald fell and broke her hip
and wrist. Eliza then had full re-
sponsibility until Mrs. Fitzgerald
was able to come back. In the last
few years many of our girls have
married and moved on to Mrs
Greenly's Glass.
The present roll consists of:
Alice O'Neal, Madalyn Bennett
Phyllis Williamson, Ethel Mae
Messick, Mary Jane Messick, San
dra Currey, Janice Dickerson, Bet
ty Jean Donovan, Alberta Dono-
van, Doris Benson, Winnita Nor
gan, Christina Morgan, Barbara
'Clendaniel, Joyce Parker, Elaine
Plummer, Donna Faye Hostedler
Joyce Morgan, and Dolores Savage
Before closing we want to give
proper recognition to our loyal or
gaqists and pianists who have serv-
ed faithfully through the years.
Miss Minnie Reed, Mrs. Ethel War
rem, Mrs. Katie Fitzgerald, Mrs.
Iris Swain, Miss Edna Dawson,
Mrs. Rena Morgan, and Mrs. Kar-
en- Fitzgerald are most prominent
in our minds. The above mentioned
have each served over a period of
many years almost unnoticed be-
cause they have always been there
when needed. Some of our older
members have been unfortunate in
having been in Church when not
one pianist was available. These
are the times you appreciate hav-
ing dependable ones there. Our
only male pianist and organist is
Ralph Hunt. Ralph is comparative
ly young in years of service, yet,
but we enjoy his playing very
much.
1t was quite a surprise to many
of us when our former Superin-
tendent, Douglas Morgan, informed
us that in 1867 we would be cele-
brating our Tooth Anniversary. The
popular opinion is that we should
all put our shoulders to the wheel
and build that much-needed Sun
day School Building before the
seven years have passed. 1t is a
very SOLDERING thought that if we
don't have that building finished
by 1867, we wont have much to
show for over fifty years of ''pro-
gress". The point is exactly what
growth are we going to celebrate
''The Busy Bees" are ready to do
their part in making this dream
come truel How about a little ac-
tion to back up all these building
committee meetings?i
