Moores Hill High School
Alumni’s annual dinner at
historic Carnegie Hall was
attended by over one hundred-fifty
alumnus of either
Moores Hill High School
or Moores Hill Elementary
School. This year is the one
hundred ninety-fifth anniversary
of the school. The
consolidation of schools into
the South Dearborn Community
School Corporation took
place in 1978.
Graduating classes who are
celebrating milestones were
recognized. Funds were raised
to provide scholarships to two
students who either attended
Moores Hill or whose parents
or grandparents attended
Moores Hill.
The evening began with a
welcome by Brenda Ochs
who is the secretary/treasurer,
followed by the presentation
of the colors by the Moores
Hill Legion. Olivia Knue
Communities
led the National Anthem, and
the invocation was made by
Jim Burkhardt. Dinner was
catered with the help of South
Dearborn High School student
government members.
Scholarships were awarded
to Katie Brown and Gunner
Markland. Katie is the
daughter of Robin (1981)
and Michelle Brown. Katie
currently ranks number one
in her class and holds a GPA
of 4.11! She plans to major
in the health/medical field.
Gunner is the son of Paul
and Jennifer Ritchie (1991)
Markland, and the grandson
of Virgie Lunsford (1964).
The colors were presented by Moores Hill Legion Post
209 members Chuck Butler, Terry Ingersoll, Ron “Rack”
Kuhn, and Jim Smith.
Gunner will attend Ball State
University this fall.
Special recognition was
given to Mary Waldon from
the class of 1945 for being
the oldest female alumnus
in attendance. Fred Knopf,
class of 1946, was recognized
as the oldest male alumnus in
attendance. Jim Slater, class
of 1958, traveled the farthestall
the way from Seattle,
Washington. Special thanks
to Nancy Gerber, sponsor
of SDHS student government,
for bringing such an
exceptional group of students
to help serve those in attendance.
Also, thanks to
Mike McCabe for the lovely
hanging baskets that were
given away as door prizes.
(I was lucky enough to win
one.) And, finally, thanks
to the Moores Hill Alumni
committee members President
Linda Schwarz, Vice
President Margie Short, and
Secretary/Treasurer Brenda
Ochs.

We paid for all of the rain
with a lot of flooding- but the
flowers are here! Lilac, tulips,
hyacinth, magnolia, daffodils,
creeping phlox, Virginia bluebells,
trillium, and my personal
Franklin County favorite-
redbud! It’s also Bradford
Pear season, and after being
enlightened last year about the
invasiveness of that particular
kind of pear, I can’t help but
notice them everywhere I go!
I am so glad Brookville has an
abundance of redbuds, and I
hope it always stays that way.
Kids are getting ready to be
done with school. Now that
spring break is over, and it
feels like everyone has senioritis.
Meanwhile, kindergarten
registration took place. My
five-year-old keeps asking excitedly,
“Is tomorrow school?”
No. “The day after that?” So
we made a paper chain for her
to illustrate the 100+ days left,
giving her perspective and older
kids an idea.....................))))
After a few days of rain and
cold, Easter felt glorious and
warm- a genuinely beautiful
day perfect for family gettogethers
and egg hunts. Our
family wanted to go check out
the eagle’s nest at the river,
14-22
Braydon Ertel
Randy Troyer
but the water level was too
high because of all of the rain.
A few brave souls with cameras
and huge zoom lenses were
out photographing the eagle
pair though. Instead of a river
visit, we hiked in the hills off
of St Mary’s and enjoyed the
(finally!) spring-like weatheralbeit
a muddy walk!
A chicken nugget eating
contest recently took place
at four local restaurants. The
contest was incredibly funcheering
on contestants of
all ages (the group I watched
had nine- through thirty-nineyear-olds.)
The four winners
will go on to compete in a
final round at CanoeFest held
at the end of June. My husband,
Randy Troyer, was one
of the winners. I can’t wait to
see him try to win the giant
chicken trophy. Other winners
were Braydon Ertel, Josie
Wolfe, and simultaneous finishers
Todd Thalheimer and
Steve Fister.
Brookville recently hosted a
world-renowned photographer,
Sujata Setia. The Londonbased
photographer visited
in April. She couldn’t have
picked a more beautiful town
in which to hold a workshop
where she taught other
photographers about her art.
Brookville was long known for
being a creative haven. Having
the town’s beauty admired
and captured by her and other
artists who traveled to take her
workshop was quite an honor.
Bring on baseball, heat, summer
break and longer days!
