WE WOULD LIKE TO PAY TRIBUTE TO OUR OLD- EST GRAUATE, MISS MARY CURRAN, WHO GRAD- UATED 75 YEARS AGO, BY PUBLISHING TWO THINGS SHE IS PROUD OF BEING A PART IN. The Community Recreation Center During World War l, the Community Council was organized to do welfare work for the men in service. The war ended but the Council con- tinued its good work. Realizing the great need of the schools for playgrounds, more than seven acres of ground were purchased south of Broad- way and with S1560 for its improvement were donated to the Harrison Public School District, to be maintained as a community recreation center for any purpose that would not interfere with the activities of the school. This is considered one of the most important achievements of the Council, with Mr. B. F. Riese, as president, Miss Mary A. Curran, secretary, and Mr. Val J. Meade as treasurer. To this ground the lots bordering on Broad- way were added by the Board of Education, giving Harrison one of the tinest recreation cen- ters in the County, and proving to be an im- portant factor in assuring the centralization of the schools in Harrison Township. Harrison Library In l888, K. D. Blake, Superintendent of the Harrison Public School called the attention of the people to the need ot a Recreation and Reading Room for the young people of the town. In re- sponse, volunteer solicitors under the direction of Dr. J. R. Marvin called on the citizens, and received a generous response. The use ot the Universalist Church building Know the property of the United Brethreni was secured from the Ohio State Universalist Society, at Akron, Ohio. A private library association donated a very well selected collection of books, and with the aid ot the girls in the H.H.S. graduating class of 1890 the Reading Roorn was managed for two years. The building was then purchased from the Universalist Society and donated to the Harrison Village Council on condition that they would maintain a Free Public Library. The Village Coun- Page One Hundred Two cil sold the building to the United Brethren, ana maintained a Village Library in the City Hall from I892 to I900. The Mayor acted as President of the Library Board, Dr. J. P. Marvin, a mem- ber, Miss Mary A. Curran was secretary, and Miss Nellie Curran was librarian. When in l900, the Cincinnati Public Library was given authority by the state to take over the county, a survey revealed that Harrison had one of the two Village Libraries in Hamilton County, Wyoming having the other, and those villages received the first two Cincinnati Branch Libraries. Miss Curran was retained by the Cincinnati Li- brary Board as Branch Librarian until she retired in I946. She was succeeded by Mrs. Virginia Schrieber and later by Miss Henrietta Beesley, the very efficient present librarian.
