History came alive recently as some Warsaw Community High School students got an education in the realities of war and appreciation of the men who have fought in war. As a Veterans Day project, David Hoffert’s world history students wrote letters of appreciation to recipients of the Congressional Medal of Honor. Of the 140 living MOH recipients, the students wrote to about 90 men, and Hoffert said, 70 have written back so far. “The response has been incredible – they’re so grateful that somebody would notice.”

Those winds that were so destructive earlier this week have taken their toll on the Christmas season. Officials at the First Christian Church have canceled this year’s live nativity scene planned for outside the church at the corner of Main and Lake streets in Warsaw. The barn structure that serves as the central focus of the exhibit was destroyed earlier this week.

Elkhart High School officials knew what they were doing when they invited the Mentone Bulldogs to compete with the “big schools” in this year’s holiday cage tournament. Mentone Principal John Frederick announced today that he has already sold 920 tickets – all but 80 of the 1,000 he asked for – and received – as Mentone’s quota. Mentone’s population? The 1960 census lists it at 813.

Miss Delta Dean Doran of Kosciusko County was one of the five leading soloists in the presentation of Handel’s “Messiah” at the Manchester College auditorium recently. Doris Bowers, Mildred Sloane and Gus Chinworth, all of Warsaw, took an active part in the chorus. A large crowd listened to a masterful presentation of this great masterpiece. It was directed by Professors D.W. Boyer and S.L. Flueckiger.
