Boost School Enrollment: The sudden increase in the number of children under 20 years of age in the Ypsilanti School District is being directly attributed to a pair of housing developments southeast of Ypsilanti - the Nancy Park and Shady Knolls subdivisions. This aerial view (top) is looking north toward those two residential areas. The Ypsilanti Board of Education last night bought a school site adjacent to the clump of trees (center) directly north of Nancy Park (lower development).

Nancy Park Neighbors: This barn and silo owned by John P. Montonye of 1175 Grove Rd., contrasts sharply with the Nancy Park subdivision homes that surround it on the north, west and east, one mile southeast of Ypsilanti. Montonye, president of Ypsilanti's Indoor Comfort Co., uses the barn for storage purposes in connection with his business, but the silo is unused. He purchases the 2 1/2-acre plot from the estate of the late Charles Newton, who formerly owned the entire Nancy Park area.
