10 Years Ago The Lucy Locket Luncheon will be Aug. 9 in the Rodeheaver Auditorium. More than 50 rag dolls were made by the women of the Salvation Army Auxiliary to be used as centerpieces for the tables and as a gift for one person at each table. This is the third year for the project to raise money for the "School Worx" program that provides school clothing and shoes. The previous two luncheons have raised more than $2,000 for the program. A special attraction will be the children's style show provided by the sisters from "Just for Kids," Julie Hall and Jennifer Mink. Children of all ages and some mothers will model clothes from the store. 25 Years Ago Former Warsaw Community High School standout, and Mr. Basketball in 1985, Jeff Grose, has continued to earn honors as he was recently awarded the Waldo Fisher Memorial Scholarship award at Northwestern University, Evanston, Ill.
