    Five local high school seniors, three from Galion High School and two from Crestline High School, each received a $1,000 scholarship last night during an event held at the Galion Masonic Lodge.

    After a welcoming dinner, members of Galion Masonic Lodge No. 414 invited guests to join them in the lodge’s main room for remarks and the receipt of scholarship checks from the Galion Lodge’s current Worshipful Master, Mike Swick.

    After Swick shared opening remarks to begin the event, Chaplain Val Young presented an overview of Freemasonry, which he described as an organization dedicated to “…trying to make good men better men.” Young shared a bit of the history of Freemasonry and dispelled common myths. It is not a clandestine or secret organization, he remarked, as Masons typically will wear … Read the rest

    One sure sign of the end of the school year is the annual Showtunes Spectacular, which showcases the talents of both the Galion High School’s performing vocal music ensemble, as well as its individual members.

    This year’s version will take place at 7:00 p.m. on Sunday, May 20, in the GHS Cafetorium.

    The 17 member ensemble is under the direction of Rick Walker. Walker, a former Showtunes member himself, is in his 13th year of leading this outstanding group. Showtunes performs for many community events, at the annual “Cabaret Night” and Spectacular.

    “This is a great opportunity to see many of our individuals being featured during the performance,” said Walker. “I hope the community comes out to see these talented your people.”

    Membership in Showtunes is by audition. Many members … Read the rest

    And both have their initial games this coming Saturday.

    The Division III Baseball Sectional begins this weekend at Bucyrus High School, with the following teams: Bucyrus, Carey, Galion, Wynford, Crestview, Upper Sandusky, and Ontario. For Galion’s part, they take on Upper Sandusky at 12:30 p.m. on Saturday, May 5. The winner of that contest, in turn, will play the winner of the match between Wynford and Crestview.

    As it so happens, the 2012 schedule for the Galion Tigers will look remarkably similar to their 2011 slate — except in reverse — according to the website MaxPreps.

    The same schools are included, and in the same order. What is changed, however, is the location for every contest, with one exception. The game against Chippewa High School will again take place in Doylestown.

    This, in turn, means that the two games which the Tigers lost last year — both on the road against Mansfield Senior and Wynford — will be taking place in the much more friendly confines of Unckrich Stadium in Heise Park. With a seasoned team returning this fall, this suggests that things may be looking rather promising for GHS.

    Of course, Galion remains in the North … Read the rest
