Stolen Paul Bunyan Statue Outside Pioneer High School, December 1981

Stolen Paul Bunyan Statue Outside Pioneer High School, December 1981 image
Published In
Ann Arbor News, December 18, 1981
Caption
GIANT MOVES: A 25-foot statue of the mythical lumberjack Paul Bunyan stands guard in front of Pioneer High School, an apparent last-day-before-vacation prank by unknown suspects. The fiberglass statue is one of the twin landmarks of the Paul Bunyan restaurant on Jackson Road in Scio Township taken down last week as part of remodeling. Restaurant owner Tom Urquhart today managed to chuckle at the incident. He said it was stolen between 12:30 and 6 a.m. by six people ("There were six different footprints"). Now he doesn't know what to do with it. It will cost him more to bring it back than what Urquhart thinks he can get from its sale. So, Paul Bunyan will have to face demolition or stay at Pioneer until someone buys him. So far, there are no buyers for the statues.

Caption
Clothes may not make the man but Tappan Junior High School football players stand out in the school corridors on football game days. Team members, ninth graders, dress in suit coats and ties while their classmates stick with casual dress. Football players are Jeff Koh, front row left, Mike Mueller; Robert Matthews, second row left, Paul Weber and Ben Slote. Dressed more casually are Robert Kesslering, Jamie Kenney, Ginny Waldrop, Eddie Tucker, David Diegel and Jennifer Coon. When asked why the school's ball clubs maintain the tradition of dressing up for games, Don Horning, physical education teacher, says the players are able to set an example for others, take pride in themselves and stand out from the rest of the group.
