John Kline, a life long resident of Cass county, was born in Newberg townsJohn Kline, a life long resident of Cass county, was born in Newberg township in 1870. His mother was born in Pennsylvania and his father in Ohio. Forty years ago, Mr. Kline moved to Cassopolis and three years later became janitor of the building which now houses the seventh and eight grades and the four high school classes.
We wonder if any janitor can surpass this record?---Thirty-seven years wiWe wonder if any janitor can surpass this record?---Thirty-seven years with only six weeks absence, due to sickness. Four of these weeks were on account of scarlet fever. His good health must be due to his routine of work ("Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise"). On winter mornings he comes to the building at 5:00 and frequently at 4:00--the furnace is never cold in the winter. As a rule his working day is twelve hours long and sometimes it must exceed that. To us who come here everyday, it seems he is always here. We hardly know when he goes home, even for dinner. Can you guess his favorite pastime? It is reading. One day I saw someone bring in the school mail, and before going upstairs, Mr. Kline was delivered a Vigilant and a Current Events Magazine. There is nothing he likes better than to get all his work done for a few minutes and go to his "Office" to read the Current Events and the Vigilant. No doubt, this is done very thoroughly, if he does it as he does his work.

I shouldn't say this of housework now, because it is known that many improvements have been made to help the housewife, but the housewife, until late years , made her own inventions to save time and space, and so it is with the janitor. Imagine carrying a wire basket down the stairway, the going all the way back to sweep up the chalk, wisps of paper, etc. Mr. Kline, it is thought, originated the idea of solid metal wastebaskets and he had his made to order at Fisher's hardware. They are of iron. He could tell you many other "tricks" of his own --- ways he has of washing the blackboards, cleaning the walls, and so on. One noon I saw him wash all the windows in the main assembly and a few in the halls (that's a lot). It looked so easy and it took such a short time. There's probably some trick to it! I guess I'll ask him.
