Shown here is a reduced b&w xerox copy of a beautiful color painting of the Beavertown Grade School in its best days, done by Valerie Moyer. 200 matted and numbered prints in full color of the original are for sale at Kauffman’s TV for only $18.00 each. For more on this club fundraiser, see page one.

(When was this school built and who built it? Answer next month.)

Answer to Last Month

Without using semantics to distinguish the Chief Burgess from the Mayor, and using the term Mayor for both, the man who served as the Mayor of Beavertown for the shortest term was the first man to serve in that office, W. O. Stetler, who served only from November 1914 to December 1917. A full term is from January on even numbered years to December four years later. This wasn’t possible for W. O. because we were not a borough until 11-14-1914.
