70 Zffze Glafu of '48 The 1948 Ervin Township School Yearbook Echo', has an un- usual history. The Echo Staff and Wayne Bray, sponsor, contracted with The Hathaway Printery at Coatesville, Ind., for the printing of the yearbook. The entire copy was delivered in perfect condition to the printer in February, 1948, and the annuals were to be delivered by April. But the printer nor the staff could not know that one of the worst catastrophies in the history of Indiana would strike the little town of Coatesville before the annual could be completed. The Hathaway Printery building was demolished in the tornado which struck Coatesville on Good Friday, March 26, and completely de- stroyed much of the town. When the storm struck, Mr. Hathaway and his son, Rex, were working on The Echo, when the electric cur- rent went off. Both went outside the building to see what was mak- ing it so dark. They were still outside when the tornado struck and escaped with only minor injuries. On Easter Sunday, Mr. Bray came to Coatesville to see whether or not Ervin School would have an annual. He and Mr. Hathaway salvaged most of the copy out of the debris. The greater part of the annual had been set in type and was found where it had been stored. The halftones which had been received from the engravers had not been unwrapped and therefore escaped damage. These were all turned over to the class so that another printer could be secured to publish the annual. However, the class voted to wait until The Hath- away Printery could rebuild and get back into business again and then publish the annual. The Printery was back in business in a new location by August, but it took many weeks to get the equip- ment in first class condition to print the annual. After almost a year of delay The Echo comes to you, not only as a yearbook of precious school memories, but also as a souvenir from Coatesville, the tornado town. The Hathaway Printery is indeed grateful to the Class of '48 and Mr. Bray for your patience and consideration during these long months of waiting for the yearbook. We thank you for your cour- tesy and send Best Wishes to the Class of '48. 7fxe Jfaifzawaq fjzin-img Harmon H. Hathaway, Proprietor
