So much so that many players, as well as parents of play- ers, vowed that next season’s team would be seriously undermanned if Rybak was not rehired. The school board heard the threats. Rybak was recently rehired. The cheerleaders who root for the renown. The Dallas High School Cheer- leaders squad - or, more accurately, a video of it - was chosen from hundreds of competitors to appear on ABC’s Good Morning America program. The girls also were chosen last July as one of the top five squads of the 60 or so that competed at Penn State University. The squad - which has been coached for the past six years by teacher Mary Ann Storz - operates on a much smaller budget than do the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders. In fact, to finance their activities, the girls have spent the past two Don Lasoski, Camp Acahela Alumni Chairman, announced the annual Acahela Alumni Reunion will be held on Saturday, June 9. Rocky Glen Park will be the loca- tion for this 65th Anniversary cele- bration of Camp Acahela.

The reunion will take place in a family picnic setting, with activities for the entire family.

If you're changing your address and have a driver’s license, Repre- sentative Frank Coslett of the 120th Legislative District says that you should immediately notify the State Department of Transportation, Bureau of Motor Vehicles. The Luzerne County lawmaker said drivers who don’t notify the bureau of address changes risk a fine and loss of their renewal appli- cation in the mail. Representative Coslett said he has the necessary form (MV63), which drivers must complete and send to the bureau. Drivers can obtain the change of address form by contact- ing Representative Coslett at P.O.

Dallas-area residents - called Back Mountaineers rather than Dal- lasites - like to think that their area is thriving economically, just like the Dallas in Texas. For example, the housing market is healthy - just on a slightly differ- ent scale. “Oh you could buy a three-bedroom, 1% bath, two story house on a half-acre here for about $70,000,” says Pat Jones, an agent with Century 21-Rachel’s Real Estate on Memorial Highway. Such a home would cost up to $250,000 in Texas’ Big D, where the average sale price of a home last year was $117,000. Housing prices come as a pleas- ant surprise to many new Dallas, Pa., residents, Jones said, because many new buyers come from more expensive areas. in New York, New Jersey and even California. Such residents usually have been trans- ferred to Dallas and work in nearby Wilkes-Barre and Scranton, Jones said. Last year, too, the Dallas Post told its residents that a local busi- There is no charge for changing an address on a driver’s license and the law requires drivers to make the change within 15 days. Representative Coslett reported that many individuals have com- plained to the Bureau of Motor Vehicles that they haven’t received their license renewal forms. Many of those people, the bureau has found, changed their address but never notified PennDOT of the change. The renewal form is sent through the mails approximately seven weeks before the last day of the month of the driver’s birthday, which is the expiration of the old license. If the address has been changed, the Post Office won't forward the mail from the old address to the ness boom was under way. One sign of the boom: a new Chicken Plus had opened up in a store that formerly had housed Country Best, and had originally been Bill Davis’ Market. Like the Texas Dallas, the Penn- 'sylvania Dallas has its share of innovative businessmen. There’s Elwood Sheldon, who clearly is a diversified businessman. Sheldon’s two businesses, it seems, are electric toy trains and tennis. One of his special offers is providing free tennis lessons on his private clay court in exchange for additions to his electric train collec- tion. Finally, there are the sights that any visitor would expect to find in a municipality named Dallas. Over on Main Road, there’s the ‘‘Hoof ‘n’ Paw,” where Dallas residents with a western bent can buy cowboy hats, shirts, jeans and vests. On main Highway, there’s The Ranch Wagon restaurant. Then there’s the Dallas Baptist Church, whose minister has a name well-known in both Dallases: Danny White. Older (Continued from page 1) recently, and we grabbed it! Miss Verna Lamoreaux cele- brated her 93rd birthday this past February 14, and in those 93 years she has seen a society that has gone through some remarkable changes. The first of many jobs Miss Lamoreaux had was teaching school. This is, one area tht has changed a great deal during her life. She began her teaching career in 1909, at the age of 18 in a one- room school house in Outlet. Teach- ing six different grades at the same time wasn’ any picnic, and Miss Lamoreaux will be the first to admit that. “There was so much confusion,” she said. “It seemed all of the kids would need something at the same time. The teachers today don’t have those kind of problems.” Miss Lamoreaux didn’t stay with teaching too long, however, and after leaving that job, traveled to Illinois where she worked as a store clerk and at a sanitarium. She then left Illinois, and went to Kentucky to work at a post office. While in Kentucky, Miss Lamo- reaux came across some ‘‘hill” children. These were children who lived with their families in the remote mountains of the country- side. The children wanted to learn how to sew. Since Miss Lamoreaux was, and still is, handy with a needle, she volunteered to teach the children the art of sewing. They began to quilt. After completing it, they sold it and started a fund with the money from the sale. Soon after, everyone became involved in making crafts and selling their mer- RAIN OR chandise for the fund. The money added up, and later paid the way for a local girl to go to New York City to study nursing. All because of the compassion of one woman. When Miss Lamoreaux was 35 years old, she returned to the Back Mountain area. It was at this time she worked at the General Hospital in Wilkes-Barre. At the same time, she found a new pastime, poetry; not reading it, but writing it. Most poets have to attend years of college to master their talents. Miss Lamoreaux, on the other hand, has had absolutely no formal training in this field. “I guess you could call it a God- given gift,’ said Miss Lamoreaux. “I use the things that I see and do for inspiration. Sometimes I can write a poem in one sitting, and yet others take longer.” Miss Lamoreaux has had her work published in local newspapers, including the Dallas Post, in the past. One of her poems was even set to music after she submitted it for consideration to a music company. I'll never get rich from it,” she said, ‘but I do enjoy it.” Miss Lamoreaux has had numer- ous exciting experiences to base her poetry on. Just think what she’s been through. She has witnessed such events as the birth of a new century, World Wars I and II, and the rise and falls of kings, presi- dents and dictators. She has seen man go from an airplane built with bicycle parts, to NASA’s space shut- tle, Columbia. She’s gone through the Roaring Twenties, the Great with all its flower children, life without the threat of nuclear war, and even ‘“‘Where’s the Beef?” | The history her mind holds, like lher, is invaluable. Through which we all may roam, Are the paths that lead to home. Where those whose love is true Shining just for you. It’s placd there by the mother Who is praying morn and night Praying that the Father Will guide her child aright. Praying that the paths Back to her and home. As we walk along through life And though we stop and hesitate We still must win the strife. And sunshine lights the way We feel that we are stronger When we come to the close of day So if your path is winding And you know not what to do To guide and help you through.
