Haying The Old Way Four generations of the Ticknor family take a break while doing some old-fashioned haying at the Ticknor centennial farm located on Stone School Road, near Packard Road. The family used an old hay loader which they are standing by and a tractor to do the work which is now normally done by a hay baler. The work used to be called "putting up the hay" and included the use of pitchforks. It's now called hay baling. From left are Donald Ticknor Sr., his son, Donald Ticknor Jr., the latter's sons Carl D. Ticknor and Dennis D. Ticknor and Carl's son, Brian. (News Photo by Larry E. Wright).

Pupils of the Sutton school in Northfield township decided this winter they needed more than theory in their social and science studies, so, with the aid of their teacher, Gertrude A. Doorn, they have built up the model farm yard shown above. And to make it more realistic, Norene Denune, shown at the right, has brought in a pen of live baby chicks. Other pupils shown above are Esther Maulbetsch, left, a first grader; Harry Clement, jr., a second grader, and Ernest Honke, an eighth grader. All children in the school worked on the project.
