Since 12 balls are needed for the ome varsity games during the “year, and six for the junior varsity The Lake-Lehman Senior Chorus under the direction of Jane Morris, will present ‘Spotlight’ and an All- School Talent Show on Friday, April 22, 8 p.m. at the high school auditorium.

Side one of the disk, ‘“The Dreamer’’ was written by Paulson; ‘‘Forever,’”’ the flip side, was co-written by Paulson and Baird. Presently, the band is in the free agency market as it has not yet signed a contract. Paulson = describes the band’s sound as a type of soft rock. “It has more fullness than a lot of today’s music,” he said. “We have an older style with longer wavelengths and The immediate goal of the band is to have its songs played by the area radio stations where they hopefully games, a total of at least 18 footballs are necessary. Wolf believes an additional four balls for practice - or a total of 22 balls - should be adequate for the Lehman program. According to Athletic Director Rodger Beard, however, six of the 35 ordered footballs are used and paid for by the Booster Club, which chances them off at home games. Therefore, the program orders 29 Wilson Touchdown League Regula- tion balls ‘for use by the varsity, junior varsity, junior high, and summer teams.

According to Paulson, the five members have a difficult time trying to get together, but he feels they haves aidot of potential and would like to work more seriously in the future. They hope to release another record soon. Dallas High School Athletic Director Jerry Stinson says Dallas has ordered at least 30 footballs for its entire program but none for the Booster Club, while Valley West High School has ordered 24 balls for Club. Wolf said various workers at Lake-Lehman have told him foot- balls have been found lying around the grounds.

BOLGER Up and down the Memorial High- way and on some side streets too, new businesses will be appearing this spring and summer while others will be changing their location. Starting at the lower end of Dallas Borough, Chicken Plus opened this week in the store that was formerly Country Best and was originally Bill Davis’ Market. In the center of Dallas, Dr. Richard Scott is in the process of relocatinghis dental office from the Dallas Shopping Center to Foster Street. The new location is across the parking lot from the Acme and adjacent to the Post Office. Next, reliable sources report that Jacob Kurlancheeks Furniture Store of Duryea has taken over Sutliff’s Furniture Store where Dana Sutliff’s Retirement Sale continues to run. Across the road, Kentucky Fried Chicken is scheduled to open up in the present Arthur Treachers Restaurant location by the end of spring. Sources also report an excellent chance that Pizza Hut will open across from Franklin's with construction involving building a bridge across the creek. Listed among the very few businesses moving out of the area is Infinity, the womens’ store and bridal shop in the Dallas Village Shopping Center, which will close by the end of the month. They have already opened a new store in the Narrows Shopping Center, Kingston at the former Leeds Dress Store location under the name American Clothing Store. ‘There are ap parently definite plans underway for another business to move into their Dallas location, but Weis Markets, the owners of the property, are not yet ready to make an announcement. Some specula- tion exists that it may be another version of The Store in the Mark II Plaza in Kingston, which is a discount grocery operated by Weis Markets. Among those moving is Gino's Shoe Store which will be leaving the Dallas ‘Shopping Center probably before the ned of the summer. Gino's will be moving into their own brand new building to be cons- tructed shortly on Route 309 bet- we en Johnny O’s, which has closed, and Dr. Watkins and Dr. Medura’s Back Mountain Professional Building. The new building is planned to house two businesses with negotiations reported pre sently going on for a tenant. Just off the Memorial Highway, on the road that has been called “the Fernbrook By-pass’, Ted Dymond of Orange will shortly be selling his farm produce in a brand new building. Designed as a per- manent structure, the new store will offer fresh produce on an all year round basis. Across the highway in Shaver town, Jay Borton will be closing his shop J.B. Gallery at the end of May with his future plans unannounced as yet. Moving in there in July will be Dr. Curtis Goodwin the op- tometrist whose office is presently located in the Back Mountain Professional Building. Dr. Goodwin recently purchased the building from Franklin Federal and will continue to rent the two adjacent stores to Sam Roberts Beauty Shop and Art’s Barber Shop. Back off the highway on North Main Street across from the Water Company pump station, Cliff Parker has constructed a new building with three storefronts. No announcement has been made yet as to who the occupants will be. Further down the highway in Trucksville, a six bay car wash is being constructed by local home builder James Veras of Chase. The site is adjacent to Yester-Days Restaurant and The Lame Duck Qutlet. Local observers point to all the business activity and new construction as being good signs for the economy in this area. Presumsably, by this time, the public has been informed whether or not the Lake-Lehman school board will convene on Wednesday, April 20, or“sonie Muttre date, to discuss the matter of the resigna- tion of Floyd ‘ ‘Shorty’ Hitchcock as wrestling coach and assistant base ball and football coach for the district. At press time, the matter of a public meeting was as yet mnresolved. School director, Allen Sorchik who serves as first vice president and coordinator of athletics, explained a decision would not be made until a meeting could be arranged with Hitchcock. The Executive Council of the Board had tried to meet with the former wrestling coach on Friday, April 15, but Hitchcock could not attend. Therefore a subsequent date of Tuesday, April 19 was set. How- ever, Sorchik was not certain whether Hitchcock would show. Aside from expressing their dismay and surprise over the in- cident, which resulted in a student walkout in support of the coach, board members were. cautious in their statements. Sorchik did say the board received legal advice to constrain their public output in view of the fact that the matter was ripe for lawsuits. Considering the part played by a number of students in the matter, board members believed it was wiser to remain silent until they were certain of the facts from Hitchcock himself. “We haven't even talked to him,” said Sorchik. ‘“‘We really don’t know what the issue is yet.” For whatever reason, Hitchcock's resignation has polarized the district to the point that students verbally and through their actions, disregarded school rules and staged a walkout at the high school last Wednesday morning. By doing so, they undermined the authority of high school principal James Nicholas. According to reports, Hitchcock’s resignation was directly caused by a difference of opinion he had with the principal. Since the walkout, Nicholas said, he has received overwhelming support from the public, former students and his colleagues. Students who were involved in the walkout have also come forward and apologized, saying they realize the issue was handled improperly. Many have admitted to being caught up in the hysteria of the moment and regret their part in the ensuing drama. Following the walkout, the group was persuaded to return tothe building and meetin the auditorium with Nicholas. The meeting was a disaster, however, as students booed, cursed and were generally unwilling to listen to their principal. Whether this incident has put his position as authoritarian in jeopardy, Nicholas is not certain. He does know 'it will take a long time to rebuild the mutual trust and confidende he shared with the students, but he said, “I believe itis possible to do so.”’ “Wednesday was the single most horrible day of my life,” said Nicholas. “That scene was ugly and inno way reflecte dwhat we've been doing out there. The whole thing is tragic, because it’s so inexplicable. To this moment I have no idea why, if he (Hitchcock) was having sucha problem with, me, he didn’t file a grievance,”’ Published reports indicate Hitch- cock resigned because he was unhappy with disciplinary actions takenby Nicholas. Theprincipal, on the other hand, noted it is his and only his responsibility to discipline students and interference in that area is not a teacher's or coach’s domain. Hitchcock’s interference posed enough of a problem for the principal that he faced the former coach with the issue. It was this encounter which presumably caused the resignation. While authorities labor over how to deal with the situation, a faction of faculty members believes it is only the tip of the iceburg. There are those who believe Hitchcock was indeed a victim of an autocratic situation within the school. Nicholas however, admits to being what he calls ‘‘an aggressive administrator, rather that a wishy-washy one I operate withinthe constraints of the school code of Pennsylvania,’”’ he said. “There is no way I can’t do that. I'm obligated toinsur ethat the school is run efficiently. But, whether I take a firm stand or not, there are people who are going to be unhappy with me.” Whatever, the outcome, issue: wise, Nicholas remains dumb- founded even one week later at the method Hitchcock used to make his point. “He never should have used the kidstodo this. Ther eis a proper procedure for grievances and that’s the way he should have gone. Even people who strongly support him say that he went about it all wrong What bothers me most is that I was always his number one supporter.” And the issue has ramifications even beyond the school community. Nicholas is presently being advised by a lawyer. Will he sue Hitchcock? “No comment on that question.’
