(Continued from Page 1)
JaWer, and is a delegate to the
County Council repi esenting
tlie Lititz-Manheim Club.
At school Eric pursues a full
progtam of extra-curricular ac
tivities, including the Biology
Club, the Band and the Or
chestra. He is presently vice
president of the Band. That he
maintains a high scholastic
average, as well, is evident
from his membership in the
National Honor Society. His
best subjects, he believes, are
German, English, and mathe
matics.
But his busy daily schedule
doesn’t end when the school
bell rings. Like any farm boy,
he has chores waiting for him
at home. Chief among these is
washing the daily egg produc
tion from 6000 hens. When
that’s done, there are other
duties which vary with the
season keeping ..more than
one acre of lawn mowed, for
example; working with the
family’s 40 head of steers, or
five-acres of tobacco, or 60
acies of com Bach day has
its special jobs.
Somewhere between school,
farm, and regular 4-H activi
ties, Eric has found time for
a Jew hobbies He has expen
meated with taxidermy on
small animals, raised rabbits;
hikes; and, most recently, has
taken up natme photography.
His 4-H projects include
eight years with strawberries,
one year each oi\ capons and
field corn, rabbits, two years;
and tobacco five years. In addi
tion, he has shown strawber
ries and tobacco at county
roundups, and tobacco at the
Fatal Show.
Last year, Eric attended the
one-week citizenship short
course which is offered in the
nation’s capital. He said he
bad enjoyed that experience
veiy much, and felt it was time
well spent.
He was fuxther honored last
year by being named “Teen
of the Week a county-wide
newspaper teatuie which re
cognizes one outstanding boy
or girl each week fiom county
high schools
One thing appears veiy cer
tain to this wuter whatever
course Eric may choose to
follow in later life, he will be
a credit to his profession, to
his family, and to his countiy
Things seem to come easily
to him, but chances aie that
young, how to make the beat
possible use of his time. He
he works hard at whatever ro, i| ll jjftie
he attempts, making it look there app * ftr * to b * L ,
easy in the process. He has wasted effort in any job Eric
learned an Important fact very attempts.
WASHING EGGS is one of the after-school chores
Eric Stoner can count on every day. Some of the eggs
from the family’s 6000 laying hens are marketed on
the honor system from a refrigerator. The bulk of the
production is wholesaled. L. F. Photo
