THE POST, FRIDAY, JULY 30, 1948
History Of The Lehman School
The first school in Lehman then
called Bedford was a log building
built in 1810 on the corner just
below the William Park Farm. In
1829 Lehman Township was taken
from Dallas and named after Dr.
Lehman. The first school built in
Lehman Centre was 1876 located
about where Alice Elston’s garage
now stands. In 1876 they built a
two room building located along
the main highway just below the
Nuss home. By 1893 Lehman Town-
ship had eight schools with nine
teachers and 148 scholars. In 1909 a
two year high school was added
to the grade school in Lehman
Centre and in. the following year
five were graduated: namely Ray-
mond Searfoss, Addie Sutliff, Inez
Hardsall, Louise Major and Ralph
Mekeel. The Commencement exer-
cises were held in the Lehman
Church. The stage was beautifully
decorated in the class colors, blue
and gold. The motto “The end
crowns the work” was displayed.
The pansy was the class flower.
On that April 22nd. Professor A.
E. Lewis presented the diplomas
to that proud group of graduates.
The Kingston orchestra furnshed
the music. The speaker was Dr.
D. J. Walker Jr., principal of
Bloomburg Normal School. Mr.
Harry Wildrich was the principal.
In 1913 two were graduated from
a three year high.
In 1917 a big advancement came
about when the back portion of the
grade building was built. This build-
ing was two story with three grade
and one high school room. In
1921 the first class. with Harry
Doll as principal went to Washing-
ton, D.C.
In 1927 the gymnasium, library
and three class rooms were added.
With this addition came the four
year high. In 1937 Philip Prutz-
man composed our famous Alma
Mater.” In 1939 this building of
seven rooms was connected into
a grade building and a high school
of twelve class rooms and a new
library was added. Business,
Agriculture, Shop, Commercial and
Home Economic were added to the
course of study.
Then came along World War II
which to my knowledge called 105
boys and nine girls to leave their
homes and their friends to go out
to almost. all parts of the world,
to do their bit for us and our coun-
try so that we may continue to
live a free and independent life.
Of these four gave their lives.
Namely Elwood Renshaw from the
Class of 1932 was reported missing
in action, August 20, 1944. Herbert
Culp, Class of 1938 missing over
Germany, July 12, 1944. John
Fritz, Class of 1938 missing in Aus-
tralia, May 7, 1943 and Leo Pappas
Class of 1939 killed in the Pacific
Area, July 16, 1943.
In 1944 and ’45 the new cafeteria
was completed. It serves meals to
all the student body at a cost of
twelve cents per student. Four
hundred thirty-seven lunches were
served each school day and seventy
seven thousand three hundred
eighty-eight meals were served dur-
ing the year. These lunches are
served at the lowest cost in Penn-
sylvania. During the year $15,000
was spent to furnish the food nec-
essary for this cafeteria which is
payed for out of funds received
| from the lunches. It is self sup-
| porting and no tax money is used
| to keep it running.
The Veterans’ Agriculture School
was started in September, 1947.
They meet every Monday evening.
They employ two full time and one
part time teachers. There are
forty veterans attending with Ray-
mond Searfoss one of our oldest
alumni as one of their teachers.
During the thirty-nine years of
high school we have had seven
principles: namely Mr. Wilderick,
Miers, Doll, Aurand, Squire, Snyder,
Hendricks.
To date six hundred thirty-four
have graduated from our high
school of which eleven have left
us and gone to the great school
above: namely Leroy Ruggles from
the class of 1911, Beatrice Mekeel
Wright, Class of 1914; Lorinda Dy-
mond, Anna Naugle Class of 1917;
Vera Mekeel Gordon, class of 1919;
Warren Neely, Class of 1920; Herb-
ert Wright and Lulu Pembleton,
class of 1923; Benton Hadsall, class
of 1931; Arthur Miers, class of
1934 and Steward Ehret class of
1942.
So the light of education has
grown brighter .as the Lehman
School has progressed from a one
room log building in 1810 to the
present building. There were only
eight teachers and five graduates
in 1910 and this year we had seven
grade and fourteen high school
teachers and the supervising prin-
cipal and forty-two graduates. Al-
so we have our band of which we
all are so proud. Advancement?
Yes and I am sure we all are proud
of it but who knows how bright
the beacon will be fifty years from
now.

Impressions
In the fairy ‘tales of our youth
some one once promised, “She shall
have music wherever she goes” and
since then generations of asthetic
women have wished this could be
so. We have discovered—right
here in Dallas— a family who has
succeeded in surrounding them-
selves with a truly enviable musical
aura. They are Mr. and Mrs. Hay-
cox of Main road. Last spring Mr.
Haycox combed his record collection
to present a two hour concert made
up of single records and albums of
two or three classical records. The
concert was held in their living
room which is modern in decor with
mahogany furniture predominating.
Its keynote is still comfort despite
recent attempts of an interior dec-
orator to substitute austere contem-
porary furniture.
Mr. Haycox has installed a speak-
er system in their home which ex-
Township Road
Funds Available
State and Federal engineers are
wracking their brains in an effort
to find ways and means of getting
townships to file applications for
funds available to them for work
on township highways.
Officials seem somewhat dis-
tressed by the fact that two years
ago the sum of $1,000,000 in State-
Federal aid funds was set aside for
use by townships in helping them
to finance local highway improve-
ments—with the result that since
then, only about a quarter of the
allocation has been used.
At the present time there is ap-
proximately $750,000 available in
these Federal-aid funds, with which
to finance $1,500,000 of highway
improvements. Funds for such work
put up by the townships are match-
ed by the appropriation.
To work out some method of
spurring on the townships to
greater heights, the Federal-State
officials have been conferring.
They have decided to more liber-
ally interpret Federal requirements
in the hopes of finding more ap-
plications for the funds wending
tends throughout the house and in-
cludes a summer house which they |
have built on their tennis court.
There are four speakers in the living
room. This is especially effective
when their mood dictates a sym-
phony program for the additional
speakers give the effect of a “flesh
and blood” orchestra.
Mr. and Mrs. Haycox are fortun-
ate in not having their musical
menu chosen for them by an im-
personal broadcasting company.
They need not suffer through seem-
ingly endless commercials in order
to hear a bit of good music. Their
collection embraces approximately
twenty-five hundred records, in-
cluding Operas, La Traviata, Rige-
letto, and Carmen as well as music-
al comedy favorites and semi-
classical recordings.
That old adage, “Beware a man
who dosen’t like music” is, in effect,
a practical maximum for psycholo-
gists have established the fact that
it brings out the best in us. When
we speak of “music” we do not
mean to conjure up present day jive

Pennsylvania is now embarking

smaller municipalities keep step
proportionately in improvement of
their roads and highways to round
out the over-all program.

(Special to The Dallas Post)
Harrisburg, July 29—(PNS)—
While the number of highway
deaths throughout Pennsylvania
dropped from 590 killed in the
first five months of 1947 to 565
killed in the same period this year,
Luzerne County’s trend was in the
same direction with fatalities drop-
ping from ten to nine. }
The State Bureau of Highway
Safety told Pennsylvania News Ser-
vice that in the five month period
in 1948 there were four rural high-
way deaths (same as last year)
and six in urban areas (against
five last year) bringing to nine
the number of persons killed on
county highways this year.
(These figures do not include
recent slaughter on the East End
Boulevard which will raise Luzerne
County’s total for the first seven
months above that of last year.
