the longest tenure, serving until Oc-
tober 1, 1947, a period of more than 27
years. He was succeeded by Oliver S.
Ikenberry.
Going back still further John Knut-
ti served as chief administrative of-
ficer, then called principal, from 1903
to 1909. He was only 31 at the time of
his appointment and died while in of-
rice. Knutti was a popular young man
who was stricken in the prime of life
by typhoid fever while on a trip to
Morgantown.
Knutti was succeeded by Thomas C.
Miller, a former state superintendent
of schools, who was the first person to
hold the title of president. He resign-
ed the office in 1920 and was succeed-
ed by W.H White, who had previous-
ly been superintendent of schools in
Logan County.

WATCHDOG
COUNCIL!
To the Editor:
I am very upset that Ranson would
even TIIINK about curtailing citizen
input in the council meetings.
What's going on in Ranson? Maybe
more people need to attend Ranson
Council meetings. Maybe more people
need to attend Ranson Council
meetings TO WATCHDOG
ACTIVITIES.
Mayor Hamill and Ms. Hatzer - Why
the big hurry?
June 1989 will be here all too soon
and we wont and can't forget - we
won't hide!

FIRST FEAST?
To the Editor:
I do not know who wrote your recent
editorial on Thanksgiving. I can only
hope it was not written by a Virginian
nor a West Virginian.
Not much factual history is being
taught today. At any rate I was
dismayed to find that "the purpose of
Thanksgiving remains relatively un-
changed from the first celebration in
Plymouth Colony," as stated in your
editorial.
A thorough check will reveal the
Plymouth Colony celebrated in 1620
while the first Thanksgiving * was
celebrated in 1619 at Berkeley Planta-
tion in Virginia. Even President Ken-
nedy admitted this was true but the
current wire services and newspapers
continue to ignore the facts.
I write to plead with you to print the
truth so that coming generations will
.not be misled regarding their heritage.
As a displaced Virginian and also as
a student of history, I will hope that my
CUBS SAY THANKS

would like to thank the Spirit of Jeffer-
son for the November 11 tour. We
would like to thank Mr. Dorsey for the

the headlines for their birthdates and
for when they were five years old. We
would also like to thank June Bohrer
for arranging the tour.
We also wish to thank WXVA and
Chris Bauer and Jimmy Lee for the

cil have earned the Gold Award. The

Alliance Presents Book To
SHEPHERDSTOWN--The Eastern
Panhandle Alliance for the Mentally
Ill (EPAMI) recently pesented Dr. E.
Fuller Torrey's book, "Surviving
Schizophrenia: A Family Manual", to
Dr. Irving F. Tucker, coordinator of
the Shepherd College Psychology
Department, as a token of apprecia-
tion for public service performed by
the department. Another copy was
presented to the college library.
Dr. Torrey is a well-known advocate _
of care for the mentally ill who has ap-
peared on "60 Minutes" and "Phil
Donahue". His book includes sum-
maries of the mental health care
systems in each state with addresses
and resources that families and vic-
Unibed Wag
rims can use as reference.
The staff of the Shepherd College
Psycholog'/Depar tment includes
three licensed py,hologists. They are
Dr. Tucker: ProfesSor Jeffrey Chleb-
nikov, also employed by the Eastern
Panhandle Mental Health Center,
Inc.; and Professor Harold Slaughter,
also in private practice in Charles
Town with Shepherd graduate Boniva
Miller.
Regular part-Ume staff members
are a licensed family therapist, the
Rev. Warren Watts and a certified
dance therapist, Lu Ann Corraro. Two
psychiatrists, Dr. Hiram Sizemore and
Dr. Allen Levy, teach, respectively,
neuropsychology and psychodrama
for the department.
Two EPAMI respresentatives,
Peggy Brenner and Margaret HallS-
day, made the presentation and ex-
pressed concern about a lack of ade-
quate care facilities for the mentally
ill compared to adjacent states. A se-
cond concern, also emphasized by Tor-
rey, is that because schizophrenics
have an ability to interview well, they
can mislead mental health profes-
sionals into thinking they are function-
ing normally. Then, the family has the
additional burden of not being believ-
ed by the professional.
EPAMI meets monthly on the third
Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. at the Trinity
United Methodist Church in Mar-
