Dallas Senior High School varsity
cheerleaders came home from the
Pennsylvania Invitational Cheer-
leading Competion in Harrisburg,

place trophy for the second con-
secutive year.
This time it was different, how-
@& cver, for the local cheerleaders
were the first in the history of the
competition to win with a perfect
score of 30 in each leg of the routine.
The girls competed against 12
other schools, large schools, in-
cluding Clearfield Area Senior High
School, Cedar Cliff Senior High
School, New Cumberland; Halifax
Senior High School; Sloanco Senior
High School, Quarryville; South
Williamsport High School; William

Cedar Crest Senior High School,
Cornwall; Millersburg Senior High
School; Hershey Senior High School

and Shippensburg Senior High
School.
“The people were pleased to see
us and very receptive,” said Mary
Ann Storz, cheerleading advisor.
“The judging of the competition
was done by Penn State University
cheerleaders and their coach. They
said the girls were superb and their
precision great.
“In the overall competition the
girls had to compete for five
minutes ‘against all of the above
schools. Then five finalists were
selected and each of these five
squads had to perform again.
Another unique feature this time
was that our Dallas girls received
an encore, the first. this has ever
‘happened in the competition.
“The judges described them as
having class and excellent precision
from beginning to end of their
routine. Their gymnastic ability is
what gives them an advantage.
They surpass the other schools. In

BY JANE C. BOLGER
Construction of a separate exit
from the Dallas Post Office onto
Foster Street has been approved by
‘the Federal government. The en-
trance to the Post Office will
remain as it is on Church Street, but
all traffic within the post office lot
will be routed one way through to
the exit.
Engineering specifications for the
plans were drawn up at the request
of Dallas Borough in an effort to
relieve traffic congestion in the
area. When the new exit goes into
operation residents living on the
other side of town will be able to
travel Foster Street through to
& oo {lawn Avenue and thus to
“Route 309, which is expected to be a
far more direct route for those
living in New Goss Manor or
Muy 6
Orchard View Terrace.
Unfortunately, the exact location
of Foster Street is a mystery to
many motorists who mistakenly
think of it as “the back of the Acme
parking lot.” This is not so, protests
Dallas Borough Secretary and
Roadmaster Ralph Garris, who
stated, “It’s a borough street; we
plow it and we cinder it.”
The separate exit solution to the
traffic safety problems in that
immediate area has been sought by
the borough for years. Now that
approval has been given by the U.S.
Government Field Real Estate and
Building Division, it is expected
that contracts for the project could
be let as early as May, with the
separate post office exit in
operation by the end of the summer.
The kickoff dinner for the Back
Mountain Memorial Library
Auction will be held at the Barn at
Magee’s Publick House on May 6.

tioneers are geared with a few
surprises for those in attendance.
The dinner is, as always, open to
the public and tickets will go on sale
by April 8. They will be available at
the library or through committee
members. Area service club
members also have tickets.

their white jumpers, blue blouses,
thin, sheer head bands, and their
French braids, they looked dif-
ferent than any of the other groups.
The people were crazy about
them.”
This year’s group are not the
same girls who won last year. Mrs.
Storz lost 10 girls through gradua-
tion. These girls were terrific. They
had their work cut out for them and
they came through with flying
colors.
Mrs. Storz commended the
parents for their great support. In
the short time they had after the
competition, the parents rallied and
called the media, made arrange-
ments for a party at a local
restaurant and even had a cake
ready for one of the girls birthday.
In addition to the group trophy,
each girl received a medal, ribbons
and a patch for her jacket. The
squad also received a cash award.
