He is often referred to as, Supervisor of Buildings and Grounds, especially by the upper class- : men. ' Charlie's job is indeed a very difficult one. He must attend to the heating of the college buildings and Dorm, care for the campus and grounds, give advice to wayward Frosh, and many other duties that we will not men- tion here. One task that requires much of this time, is that of explaining to angry basketball players that due tothe recent zero weather, the shower system is unable to functionf' In this field he has proven himself to be a great logician, for no one ever gets the best of Charles when it comes to making wise cracks. We believe that Socrates himself would stand abashed if -n- -:- 'P' -:- he were permitted to listen to the great ex- lu' change of knowledge that takes place between l Charlie and our would-be basketball players. , Surely the Supervisor of Buildings and Grounds must have a strange position. He must always have an explanation ready for the occasion. Such LBJ questions asg Where are the tennis nets? Where is the party? Why is it cold in Room 16? When will the President return? can be answered im- mediately by Charles. We have never seen the moment that can guarantee any relaxation for our caretaker. He is always on the job and never fails when called upon. -uh In the art of making things appear attractive we feel that he is un- excelled. For evidence we will refer you to the lawns, flower beds, shrub- bery, etc., which speak for his skill. In addition to all this, Mr. LeMar is one of us. He is always ready with a big, kindly smile and a helping hand. He is loyal to the school and ,gl especially is he interested in sports and athletic contests. If you are in need, have the blues, desire advice concerning courtship, want to learn something about good rabbit dogs, go to Charlie. Mr. Charles LeMar is indeed a great Supervisor of Buildings and Grounds and a friend we esteem very highly. Q jf-Q 'EB 'H 'Ii Q ii ' H N1-5' - gg -20-

It was com- posed of a wood-burner engine, one baggage car and a short string of three passenger coaches. It stopped at the first depot-a woodshed boarded up. Of the two possible routes usable in connecting Lake Erie and the Mississippi River the one by way of Huntington was chosen even though the other was shorter. Nevertheless, its coming was as wonderful to the people of Hunt- ington at that time as was the flight of Lindbergh across the Atlantic to the peovvc of today. -..gg- Y 5.
