On January 3, Assistant Police Chief Bill Reifsteck will celebrate his 25th anniversary on the Fulton Police force. Through the years, he has weathered many a change. Capt. Reifsteck has seen Fulton's finest grow from eight to 23 and the number of patrol cars expand from one to seven. Over those 25 years, Fulton's population has increased by about 7,000. A problem once faced by Fulton Police has fortunately, disappeared. Reifsteck remembers a time when he often worked in "plain clothes." He was not an undercover agent. Those were the days of panty raids, when Westminster students sought vicarious thrills by storming the dormitories at William Woods, demanding samples of the girls' underclothes. "When you have 50 to 200 boys running, you just don't have time to get into uniform," Reifsteck says. "Really and truly it wasn't all the boys' fault. The panty raids, it seems, were often solicited over the telephone by excitement-seeking William Woods students," he added. This past July, the Fulton Optimists named Reifsteck "Law Enforcement Officer of the Year."

They had just had lunch next door in the college president's house. . . ." It wasn't so much the world leader's rousing words that left the young woman awestruck.

While Roger Horstman was driving through Missouri, he noticed that many towns have a bench or two on the square's lawn on which the weary can sit to rest their feet, and where old-timers can sit to discuss the issues of the day. As maintenance supervisor of the Callaway County Courthouse, Horstman is responsible for the building's upkeep; and he didn't see why Callaway shouldn't keep up with the Audrains and Montgomerys. Horstman took his notion to Western District Judge Paul Willett(co1943), who thought it was a good idea. Willett then conferred with the other county judges and the project was approved. A pine bench, painted red, was built and installed in mid-July on the west side ot the courthouse lawn. Once again Callaway was up there with the best of them. The cost? $53.00. Surely a small price to pay for the people's comfort and the county's pride.

Bush Elementary School Principal Billie Taylor was impressed with all aspects of opening day of school. "The students and teachers seem so enthusiastic this year," she said, adding, "It's always so nice coming back to a school that's freshly cleaned." Garnell Watson's second-grade class has already exhibited more exuberance than others she has taught for the last 36 years. "They are really an excited bunch," Watson said. The best part of the day was not only recess, lunch and physical education, but spelling and math as well. "What I like about school is meeting friends and having another nice teacher. It's fun being in P.E. and math class and spelling. I just think it's fun being back in school," said second-grader Holly Brooks(co1994) of 1108 Chippewa Drive in Fulton. Betty Brockett of Millersburg said she was a little frightened at first about starting school. "I was scared because I was home all summer. But I got over it when I met some kids. I think I'll like school," Brockett said.
