A major trend this year was the control of communicable diseases- In the fall of 1976 former President Ford issued a nationwide inoculation plan against Swine Flu. Also, a rise in the number of cases of measles lead to an inoculation plan to be adopted in many areas. Inoculation for measles was held in the Edon Schools on February 17, 1977. Ninety ' -five students in grades 4 through 12 received the inoculation. Lori Wagner, pictured on the right, received an inoculation from County Nurse Barb Wixom. Inoculation for Swine Flu was held at Edon High School for Edon residents on October 20, 1976. Curtis Lump, pictured on the extreme right, received his Swine Flu shot from County Nurse Mrs. Thelma Clark. The community of Edon underwent several structural changes this year. The Edon Railroad Station Old Doll, pictured above and on the preceding pages, was given a new look. The Williams County Historical Society and the people of Edon moved the building to a new foundation southwest of its former location. Plans are to preserve the Depot for posterity. While the Depot was changing the south side of Edon, the North side of town received a new Bridge on Route 49. While under construction, the bridge rerouted traffic including school buses for many months. 4

The Edon Bicentennial Celebration was held August 19 through 22, 1976. Among the many festivities were the crowning of the Queen, the beard judging contest, bicycle races, a chicken bar-be-que, the Bicentennial Parade, Square Dance in the street, a Pot Luck Dinner, and the Community ' Choir Concert. Pictured on the left is the float entry by St. Peter ' s Lutheran Church, Edon, in the Bicentennial Parade. Winter affected everyone this year. The National Weather Service reported it was the coldest January in 177 years for the eastern two-thirds of the nation. The severe weather and resulting energy shortages led the Edon School Board to adopt certain energy practices. The Edon Schools operated on fuel oil, delivery pictured above, and no cutback was experienced. However, a policy of conservation was practiced. Classrooms were kept at 68 degrees and the number of after school activities were decreased. Responding to a survey taken by the Key of E Staff, 61.5% of E.H.S. students believed there was no energy shortage, and only 28.4% practiced conservation by lowering home thermostats. On Friday, September 24, 1976, Leanne Field, the new athletic field, was dedicated at the first home football game. Pictured on the left, Mr. Adams, school superintendent, presents the deed to Mr. Allomong, President of the Board of Education. Entertainment was provided by the Community Choir, pictured behind Mr. Adams and Mr. Allomong, and the Edon High School Band. 5
