Twenty Years Ago In Corry High School Revelry
Twenty years ago from the Journal Filet dated April 23, 1927, the Corry High School Junior-Senior reception and dance were praised as among the best ever in the school’s history. The banquet occurred at Hotel Corry with dancing at the Junior High School, and the event drew wide attendance and festive decoration. A kitchen fire at George McIntyre’s Hare Creek Road home narrowly averted greater loss, with damage in the hundreds of dollars, partially insured. Heavy midwinter cold and snow threatened budding rust, and Union City reported southward snow blankets. Measles outbreaks waned, with only a few cases in the city and quarantines easing per Health Officer Tipton. The Corry Building and Loan Association relocated from Ajax building to the Barrow Block on South Center Street, taking the Betts Candy Shop space.
