A pair of former Warsaw Community High School track stars are still at it, and if a recent 13.1 mile road race in Fort Wayne is any indication, they're doing quite well. Chad Curtis won the event in one hour, 31 minutes and 59 seconds, while Larry Hankins was ninth overall and third in his division with a one hour, 36 minutes, 52 second run. Both 1974 graduates, Hankins holds the school long jump record (22-7-1/2) and Curtis, the 880 record (1:56:2). Both were members of the 1974 mile relay team that finished third in the state.

About a year ago a pair of black squirrels were sent to a Warsaw resident with the intention of stocking the city with these fine little animals. One day the door of their cage became open and they escaped. From this pair have come five or six young ones. If the city will protect this little family and feed the animals during the winter weather there soon will be a large number of them about the city.
