1962
December 30th, 1962 All local businesses and schools would be closed that coming Thursday for the celebration commemorating the founding of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis. Coshocton, which was home to the March of Dimes campaign, was celebrating with a parade where former March of Dimes poster children would be honored. Coshocton Town and Country Club was also doing something special the previous evening by hosting a dinner for the poster children. The parade Thursday would begin at Third and Main and end at the home of a local polio patient at Ninth St. and Oak Ave.
1972
December 27th, 1972 The Betty Crocker Homemaker Test couldn’t be that difficult. I’ll take it to prove any student can ace this test. That’s what a reporter for River View High School, Martin Pierce said before he took the test. Although Pierce hadn’t taken any classes in home economics in school, he knew he could ace that test. The Betty Crocker Search for the American Homemakers of Tomorrow Test was given to area schools to both women and men on their basic household knowledge. Pierce soon discovered the test wasn’t as easy as he originally thought when he read the first question: “Which of the following would help minimize appliance repair bills?”, Pierce was stumped. However, he said the test got easier as he went along.
COSHOCTON - Two new scholarship funds have been established at the Coshocton Foundation. The Derewecki Science Grant has been created by Adam Derewecki of San Francisco, Calif. This award will provide one scholarship annually in the amount of $1,000 to a student from one of the three local high schools who intend to major in one of the hard sciences, including engineering, computer science, physics, mathematics, chemistry, biology, astronomy, geology, earth science or environmental science. This award stresses creative thinking over academic achievement and will require evidence of innovative thinking by the winning applicant. The Francisco and Vener Sison Scholarship Fund was established by Andrew Sison of Gahanna, to honor his parents. Andrew’s father, Dr. Francisco Sison, served the Coshocton area as an internist for many years before his retirement. The Sison scholarship will offer a $500 award annually to a graduating senior from Coshocton High School who intends to pursue a career in the field of health care. There are more than 80 eligible areas of study that are listed on the American Medical Society’s website.

1982
December 26th, 1982 The 1982 Coshocton County Classic Boys Basketball Christmas Tournament Championship was just around the corner and the River View Black Bears hoped to have a repeat of the last year as they were the 1981 reigning champs with Coshocton as runnerup. Four teams would participate in the game: Coshocton (4-2), Ridgewood (4-3), River View (4-2), and Buckeye South (1-4). All teams were to meet on the court that Tuesday night at 7 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. for the first round. The two winners would then battle it out for the championship Wednesday at 8:30 p.m. The Black Bears won the previous year with a 44-39 victory over Coshocton. All information was obtained from microfilm of the Coshocton Tribune at the Coshocton County Library.

1952
December 28th, 1952 Many local residents were able to see longlost friends over the Christmas holiday when the Coshocton High School Class of 1915 had their 38th annual reunion at the Riverside Inn. More than 20 members of the class were able to make an appearance and spent the evening reminiscing about the good days. Even some of those who were not able to make it still made the evening special. One member made a personal call from Washington D.C. while three other members wrote letters to be read at the event, saying they wished they could attend. Plans were already in the works for the 1953 reunion.
