Wayne Harris, 34, ended with a mistrial last week after Putnam Circuit Court jurors failed to agree on a verdict. Harris, pastor of Mount Olive Mis- by BERNARD SCHUCK The Elwood High School class of 1928 will commemorate its 60th anniversary this year. We have been asked to make plans to celebrate it. Meanwhile, we did a little bit of research of this class that survived World Wars I and II, the Korean and the Vietnam War. Add to that the influenza epidemic in Elwood, 1917, the flood of 1913.

Also, there was the risk of getting stepped on by a horse, run over by a buggy or ending up in a ditch as the Model hit some fresh gravel. There were other hazards they survived over these past 78 years, many of which kids of today are confronted with, most of which has to do with transportation. Our cars in our high school days would only go 60 miles per hour at the most, and it was rare for a high school kid to have a car of his own even in his senior year. It is a study in longevity this Class of '28 would be available to scientists in the field of medicine. There were 104 graduates from E.H.S.

in 1928. Of that number there were 56 girls and 48 boys with the girls having a majority of eight. After these 60 years out in the world, kind to some, cruel to others, all of them made it well into manhood and womanhood. We have no statistics on the gradual demise of their numbers. That would take an immense amount of research.

The class of '28 was too young for World War I but were of draft age for World War II. In fact, one member of the class, Ernest Gardner, was killed in this war. No need to mention the class survived the flood of 1913 and also the flu epidemic that cost the lives of many Elwood citizens. This class was only seven or eight years of age during the flu epidemic and only three during the Elwood flood. Of course, all of this class was innoculated for smallpox and survived the acid rain back when almost everyone burned coal for heating purposes.

Passenger trains were common in Elwood, as well as freight trains. They were coal burners and went in all directions through Elwood. Now a bit of longevity of the E.H.S. class of '28 live longer is evident in this class. Today there are 38 girls living and 19 boys.

There may be some inaccuracy since we were unable to locate some of the members, but presumed they were still living. In both the 50th and 55th reunion, some class members snowed up whom we had been informed had died. Geograpnicaily, the class has spread out to other states with ten members still residing in the Elwood area. The biggest surprise in this study is that one of the teachers is still living and gets around quite well here in Elwood. It is George Smith, a retired physics teacher.

But we must point out that he was just a few years older than his pupils and this class of 1928 was his. first. Obituaries Names in the News A theft of a bicycle belonging to Loretta Purnefl, 1621 S. was reported at 2:30 am. today.

Revere and the band continue after numerous personnel changes over the years, although Revere spends a lot of time playing the Iand-and-development market as well. "My brother owned a real estate company in Boise (Idaho) and was always looking for exceptional property," he said in a recent interview. "I knew that Boise was a growing city."

He used his earnings to invest in a small drive-in restaurant and "started a rock 'n' roll band to promote my restaurant," he said.
