  2. LEE GROSS ATTENDED, THEN OWNED THE SCHOOL. HE LIVED AT 913 MAIN STREET. A 1965 CLASSMATE, ALMA SCHRECK, LIVED IN THE HOUSE ON THE ADJACENT FARM. MR. GROSS SAID THAT WHEN HE WAS A STUDENT, HE TRANSLATED FOR THE TEACHER AND THE GERMAN-SPEAKING STUDENTS! (THIS WAS PROBABLY PRIOR TO THE TURN OF THE CENTURY.) HE DIED IN THE LATE 60S WHEN HE WAS IN HIS 80S.
