And, as if the snow weren’t
enough, Mrs. Lipski was old of
another problem.
“After calling the school,” she
said, “I was told that the audito-
rium had sprung three leaks.”
Mr. Lipski, in a desperate attempt
to console his wife, said , ‘“That’s
0.K. Seeing that the main character
(Clouseau) wears a raincoat all the
time, the leaks just added to the
environment.”
The play went on, however,
despite the foot of snow outside and
the leaks inside.
On both evenings, before the play
began, shouts and laughter could be
heard coming from the school’s art
“room. It was there that approxi-
mately 40 students converged to
apply their make-up. Just about any
type of character could be found in
this room - there were 14 pink
panthers fixing their tails and
putting on their noses, "a seductive
assasin in a sleek red dress, a sheik,
a gardener, a maid, a waitress, and
the ever-present female impersona-
Soon it was time for everyone to
make their way from the make-up
room to the stage of the auditorium.
As the pink panthers stalked the
audience during a brief pre-show
interlude, the rest of the cast made
last minute adjustments to cos-
tumes and props.
The show itself was not absent of
unexpected surprises. Most of the
problems were because of mis-
placed props and stunts. \
At one point, Stu Thomas, who
played the lead role of Clouseau,
was supposed to shoot an arrow off
stage. The script called for one
attempt only. However, it took Stu
three attempts until he successfully
shot the arrow off stage. Stu’s ad
libbing during the scene, however,
was so entertaining that most of the
audience didn’t realize the minor
error.
Another amusing mistake was the
disappearing picture of Clouseau. In
the scene, Paul Jones, who played
the role of Dreyfuss, was supposed
to uncover a large picture of his
enemy, Clouseau. However, the pic-
ture was misplaced so that when
Paul pulled off the cover, nothing
was there! Did this stop Paul at all?
Never! He went on with his lines
just as though nothing was wrong.
Perhaps one of the funniest scenes
of the evening actually happened
backstage. This was when Larry
Hillman went through his own kind
of metamorphosis from “Jarvis”
the butler, to the famous and funny
female inpersonator.
Larry, who only had a short
amount of time to make his change,
had to don a wig, high heels, a
dress, and a LOT of stuffing that
would have made even Dolly Parton
quite envious. It was truly some-
thing one had to see to believe.
Overall, the entire evening was an
enjoyable one. The background
music was a nice touch, the cast
was well rehearsed and prepared,
and the play did what it was meant
to do: it left the audience with a
good feeling. Great job, everyone!
Cops

~ of the 20 cent per hour increase that
had been awarded to the part-
“timers. Newberry was unavailable
“for comment, however, Carroll
reported no such meeting ever took
‘place.
~~ Young also said the part- time
~ patrolmen were told that if they
didn’t accept it (the 20-cent raise),
the borough would look elsehwere
for part-time policemen.
Chief Lyons, who said the part-
time men feel the raise is insuffi-
_ cient, reported, “The men will not
perform regular police duties for
. this amount.”
Chief Lyons reported the part-
time patrolmen perform the same
duties as the full-time patrolmen,
but on a part-time basis. As part-
timers, the only benefit the men
receive is compensation if they are
injured on the job, Lyons said.
Ralph Garris, secretary of the
Dallas Borough Council, reported
none of the part-time patrolmen
have been fired nor have any of
them turned in resignations.
“It’s more like a state of limbo,”
Garris said.
When asked if the part-time
patrolmen received a raise in 1983,
Garris said he felt sure they did, but
he could not remember the amount
of that raise. Minutes of the Dallas
May 19, 1982, however, show that
the men received a seven percent
pay increase that year, raising their
hourly wage from $5.05n to $5.40,
the amount they were being paid
when they requested a raise in
November, 1983.
Garris also reported that since the
part-time police officers have not
worked since January, the full-time
patrolmen have been working extra
hours and are being paid overtime
until new part-time patrolmen are
hired.
The borough secretary stated the
full-time patrolmen are paid sala-
ries ranging from $15,250 to $16,440
per year while the borough police
chierf receives $17,650.
And, since the part-time men
have not worked since January,
1984, the borough is advertising in
area newspapers to hire part-time
patrolmen.
Lyons said he would like to hire
two or three part-time patrolmen
(in addition to Lewis) and would
like to find people who are skilled in
police work and who are either
semi-retired or whose work sched-
ules are very flexible.
“I'm not concerned with num-
bers,” said Lyons when asked why
he is looking to fill the vacancies
left by six patrolmen with just two
.or three patrolmen. Lyons feels the
borough will be well-protected with
part-time patrolmen who are availa-
ble most of the time.
China
(Continued from page 1)
his judgement and recommendation
as to which U.S. school would be
chosen.
Shortly after his first visit to
Seminary, Furth advised Stettler as
to the preparations the team should
make in order to be ready if and
when an invitation was given them
‘by the Chinese government.
The major requirement was a 100
percent commitment by the players,
not only to playing soccer but also
to the kind of team discipline and
cohesiveness necessary in a trip to
the People’s Republic.
The invitation extended to the
Seminary boys is not only for the
purpose of playing soccer. During
their two weeks in China, team
members will probably play only
five soccer games, for a total of 10
hours, but the Chinese Spports Fed-
eration feels the trip will promote
and strengthen friendship and cul-
tural ties between China and the
USA. :
The 18 boys, their coach Ken
Farshtey, and others accompanying
them will stay in hotels while in
China since the government does
not approve of visitors staying in
the homes of their people. The cost
of the trip will be in the range of
$100,000 with most of it financed by
the athletes’ parents and the
remainder by the school.
One can only imagine what Coach
Farshtey’s reaction was when Dr.
Stettler told him of the invitation.
“First, I said it’s a great oppor-
tunity, then I asked ‘Why?’,” said
Farshtey. “We do not have the best
team in the United States nor in the
state, but we have a lot of confi-

dence in our athletes. They are
dedicated and work hard,” he
added.
During the past 20 months, the
boys have trained long and hard in
all areas of soccer — discipline and
cooperation. They traveled to Ohio
to play soccer and, last August,
went to Germany for two weeks
where they played soccer and were
highly praised for their efforts while
there.
‘‘These are the most exciting
moments in the 140 years of Wyo-
ming Seminary,” Dr. Stettler said
Thursday. “And a wonderful way to
climax our 140th anniversary.”
