10 Years Ago Robert Cover, 18, a senior at Warsaw Community High School and a third-year machine trades student, demonstrated a project he made using a laser digitizer donated by Zimmer to the Warsaw Machine Trades Center. The digitizer, a $350,000 machine, is being used by WCHS independent study program and by Ivy Tech. According to Jeff Williams, the WCHS teacher in charge of the machine trades program, WCHS is the only educational facility in Indiana using such a digitizer for teaching purposes. The digitizer is similar to one recently purchased by NASA to create new molds for the tiles that cover the space shuttle, and uses a three-dimensional image to reproduce digitized information. 25 Years Ago Recipients of the Most Improved Player awards for spring sports at Warsaw Community High School this spring are Andrea Berry, softball; Sonya Scott, girls tennis; Peggy Frederick, girls track; Tom Beno, boys golf; Paul Wiley, baseball; Jason Dobbins, boys track; and Steve Hoppas, soccer. 50 Years Ago Ralph Bushong, sixth-grade teacher at the North Webster school, recently set a record for the hammer throw and also won the discuss in the Indiana AAU track meet at Indianapolis. Bushong, former Syracuse High School and Manchester College star trackman, accounted for one of two records when he tossed the hammer 140 feet, 7-1/2 inches to better his own previous mark of 136 feet, 6 inches set in 1959. 75 Years Ago Lieutenant Commander Carl Enger, of New York City, son of Charles Enger, of Warsaw, was among the many to attend the recent Davis Cup tennis matches between Australia and the United States team at the German Cricket Club, New York. A tennis enthusiast himself, Enger hopes to visit in Warsaw sometime the early part of this summer. Local tennis players will be interested in the fact that none were able to beat him last summer during his short stay here.
