By JOANNESPAHR
LITTTZ, Pa. - Thomas
Arehart, 6 East Grant St.,
Lititz, is one of five new
vocational agriculture
teachers who have been
employed by various schools
throughout Lancaster
County. A graduate of Penn
State University with a
major in agriculture
education and a minor in
forestry, Arehart has joined
the staff of Warwick High
School.
Arebart’s background is
strongest in environmental
resources, horticulture, and
forestry, and prior to his
position at Warwick, he had,.
in fact, taught a course in
forest survival at Penn
State.
“The course was for
people of all ages, and it
taught the long lost art of
forest survival which deals
with ediblle and medicinal

What does he do in his
spare time? “I love to bowl;
I have a 75 average,” he
answers. His team is the
“Gutterballs,” and they
compete in a Saturday
morning youth league.
The last question that
remained was obvious. What
kind of sacrifice does it take
on the part of parents who
support their children in
such widespread activities?
“You have to be behind
them to help finish projects,
sometimes. But it gives them
something to do that they’re
genuinely interested in. And
they choose what projects
they take on,” Emilie Welsh
admits. She speaks with
obvious pride in her sons;
and her home is filled with
mementos, trophies, ribbons
and scrapbooks of the boy’s
4-H work. And, she has
gotten involved herself,
serving as a leader of the
Thomasville dub, which was
named top dub in the county
for 1976.
James Welsh helps his
sons, too. “Someone has to
help the boys with their
chores. It takes a lot on
Dad’s part to give them time
off,” concludes Mrs. Welsh.
Every young life needs a
firm foundation on which to
plants,” says the articulate
instructor.
As a result of this intense
interest in plants, the
members of a nearby
community will benefit, for
as his “Building Our
American Communities”
project, Arehart and his
students will be setting up a
mile long nature trail in
Brickerville. The trail will
be located along Route 322 on
land belonging to the Zion
Lutheran and Emanuel
Lutheran Churches. The
land has historical value
since it was given to the
churches by a William Penn
Land Grant, and up to this
time has remained un
developed.
Arehart and bis .students
will now "construct a trail
complete with markers and
description booths for the
community’s enjoyment.
were invited guests of the

Service of Penn State

The conference, held at the
University Park Campus of
Penn State October 13 and

Cooperative Extension
Service staff, civic groups
and governmental agencies
interested in improving the
welfare of Pennsylvania

In partial explanation as to
why he chose this particular
project, Arehart remarked,
“It’s a pity that in the
Bicentennial year a child can
actually grow up without
seeing trees and wildlife, and
if I can get my students to
say, 'Hey, I’ve never seen
that before,’ or ’l’ve never
known that before’ I will
have attained my goal.”

Arehart will also be ser
ving the community in
another manner. Next year,
beginning in January, he will
teach a night course which is
offered to the public on
pesticide application. By
next October, everyone will
be required to have a
pesticide applicator’s license *
to handle potent chemicals.
The FFA group at War
wick will also be busy this
year with money raising
projects to benefit the
school. Through Donkey
basketball games and citrus
sales, the group will begin
replenishing their inventory
of worn shop equipment.
The money the FFA
students make will also be
used to send their out
standing members to the
national convention at
Kansas City this November.
So, Arehart’s first year at
Warwick will be a busy one,
but through the various
projects he has planned, it
should turn out to be a
rewarding year for all in
volved.
