25 Years Ago

Herald of July 28, 1994

Last fall Marjorie Ferry decided to give up driving. She was 88 years old then (89 now), and she had been driving for 71 years – the same car for the last 43 years. The 1929 Model A Ford that she bought for $175 in 1950 still worked. This summer she advertised her car for sale in the Herald. She sought sealed bids, and she sold the two-door to John H. Bush of Martinsburg RD 1.

The Spring Cove School District is in the midst of the second year of its Chapter I summer reading and math program. Eighty-four students in kindergarten through Grade 3 are enrolled in the summer program at the Martinsburg, Roaring Spring and East Freedom Elementary schools.

The Claysburg-Kimmel School Board made changes to its kindergarten schedule for 1994-95. Students will go every other day Monday through Thursday and a half day on Friday. The first group will attend classes all day Monday and Wednesday and half the day Friday. The second group will meet Tuesday, Thursday and the other half of the day on Friday.
