pupils active in historical site dedication Students, faculty members, and administrators demonstrated their interests in community affairs when they participated in the dedication services of theTroxell-Steckel House and Farm Museum June 3 and 4. Dr. George D. Steckel, superintendent of the school district, gave the main address at the formal dedication ceremony. Journalism teacher Miss Marjorie Lazarus was chairman of the celebration. A concert was given by the Whitehall High School band and junior Jane Keiser sang Bless This House and led the audience in singing God Bless America. Approximately 40 high school students took part in the event. Girls dressed in long dresses represented the period and worked as guides, handed out programs, and made sure that everyone registered. An occasion such as this calls for reflections on the past and the future, said Dr. Steckel. I'm glad so many were interested!
