In honor of the Memorial Day holiday, the residents of Richland Manor enjoyed a week’s worth of festivities and an evening full patriotism in late May. This “USO Dinner” was planned specially for the campus residents and featured a menu that contained buffet cuisine similar to what one could find in an Army canteen.
The chef-prepared menu included appetizers and assorted entrées served buffet-style.
We need some Icon viewers' assistance identifying students in this photo. We think it is the BHS class of 1976 as kindergartners (Margaret Groman is the teacher). That could put the photo in the 1963 school year.
The only names we can come up with and they are not in order are Steve Kohli, Tom Kible, Richard Weiss, Ricky Fields, Daryl Steiner and Mark Zimmerly.
This room, which was once on the corner of the original elementary building, is now a teacher lounge.
