Hello, fellow Berlinites. In mid-August 1978, vandals ransacked Berlin High School on Willard Street, and City Marshal Paul Morin had promised to catch the culprits.
Sometime before 5 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 12, an undetermined number of people broke into and vandalized this local educational institution. The cost for the taxpayers was an estimated $8,000 to $18,000 worth of damage, according to officials. From the looks of the pictures that I could not copy correctly, the damage seemed much more than that.
