The required conditions were too strict for many property owners to accept. An alternate plan was presented, in hope that it would be acceptable. Three buildings, West Wind<\/a>, Boys House<\/a> and the E. E. office were renovated to meet fire safety requirements. The maintenance crews attended to renovations and repairs, replaced bridges, “boiled down” 148 gallons of sorghum, kept up the water supply, built a shelter at Open House Hollow (former site of Open House<\/a>, which burned), and constructed a greenhouse.<\/span><\/p>\n New payroll taxes, new insurance programs, new minimum wage scale contributed to the largest PMSS budget ever.<\/span><\/p>\n Brit Wilder retired in May. In appreciation of his long, valuable service to PMSS Trustees voted to construct a water line from PMSS campus water mains to the Wilder residence. Omer Lewis replaced Brit as maintenance supervisor.<\/span><\/p>\n Rebecca Ayars resigned from the Board of Trustees, and was named an Honorary Trustee. Nancy Sather was elected to the Board of Trustees to completed Mrs. Ayars’ term.<\/span><\/p>\n
