The Helenic Orthodox Community Greek church of Bridgeport faced a suit for unpaid wages by former teacher Theodore Zirganos in Common Pleas court. Zirganos alleges he taught at the Greek school from Sept 9, 1920, to July 1922 and was discharged Sept 8, 1921 for mistreating students. The church, represented by David W. Price, counters the discharge was for mistreatment. A witness said his sister pulled four children from the school over alleged abusive administration, and a Bank Street Trust dealer testified his son returned home in poor condition after school. The boy testified to alleged mistreatment by the teacher.
