An example to remember (12/19/2008)
Editorial
At Monday's meeting of the Jay School Board, school corporation business manager Brad DeRome passed out copies of a historic document.
It was the program for dedication ceremonies for Jay County High School on Oct. 26, 1975, the autumn that the school opened its doors to students.
Some of the names on the program were familiar: Hugh Miller and Marion DeBolt from the school board, superintendent Gene Cato, and guest speaker Phil Eskew from the Indiana High School Athletic Association.
But one name stood out. The vice president of the JCHS student council, the first in the school's history, delivered the invocation. His name was Frank Vormohr.
On Monday, Dr. Frank Vormohr attended his final meeting as a member of the Jay School Board.
After more than eight years of service, Dr. Vormohr is taking a well-deserved break from the tough job of shaping school policy.
His leadership and his thoughtful example will be missed. Board members don't always see eye to eye, but in this case disagreement never got in the way of respect for his judgment and his dedication to the students of the Jay School Corporation.
As board president Bryan Alexander noted, Dr. Vormohr was the first JCHS graduate to serve on the board of education. His tenure marked the passing of one era and the beginning of a new one, making that document passed around Monday night all the more historic. - J.R.[[In-content Ad]]
