A little more than eight years ago,
Will Conygnham was a Mass Com-
munications student at the Univer-
ty of Wisconsin when he had an
a. Will contacted his brother
Frank, who was studying liberal
arts at the University of Pennsyl-
vania in Philadelphia at the time
and the two men started mapping
out Will's idea.
‘Today, that idea has come to be
known Hillside Farms DAiry Store,
the only fully-operating dairy in the
Back Mountain.
Will, 36, serves as manager of the
store located on Hillside Road in
Trucksville, and claims that Hillside
is the only dairy in the Back Moun-
ftain where milk is produced,
processed and sold all in one loca-
tion.
The older of the two brothers says
when his idea first opened for busi-
ness on December 7, 1977, there
were a lot more dairy stores in this
general area. However, since the
Conyngham claims Hillside’s milk
I > be the ‘freshest’ since all other
erne County. He also says that for
anyone who is sympathetic to the
notion of buying in the area, Hillside
is the place to buy milk.
Situated on land once owned by
Conyngham’s great-grandfather
William L. Conyngham, Hillside
Farms Dairy Store is open seven
days a week and features milk, ice
cream, groceries, newspapers and
flower sales in conjunction with the
Hillside Farms Greenhouse, another
entity of the Hillside operation.
The land was once known as the
elder Conyngham’s ‘‘summer
estate’’ which, according to the
current dairy store manager, was a
showplace, a real fancy farm fea-
turing show horses and imported
cattle.
As the farmland itself notes it:
103rd birthday, Conynghary
reported the dairy store employe:
four full-time people and three part
time cashiers.
While Will manages his “idea” of
eight years ago, his younger brother]
Frank has allowed the dairy store t
branch out as he runs the Hilsice
Dairy ice-cream counter located i
the basement of Boscov's in down-|
town Wilkes-Barre.

Disneyworld means much more
than a Kingdom of magical fantasy
to Lauren Schleich of Dallas. This
summer, Lauren spent June 10 to
August 28 earning college credits
while working in the Kodak Pavilion
at Epcot. The daughter of Dr.
Rudolph and Johanna Schleich of
Oak Hill, Lauren is a senior market-
ing major at King’s College.
Lauren was first introduced to the
wonders of Disneyworld when she
traveled there two years ago with
the King’s College Glee Club of
which Lauren’s dad is the advisor.
The organization and imagination of
- Disneyworld intrigued her, so when
she found out that a college credit
program was available, she found
the idea very appealing.
Information on how to obtain the
interview was sent to King’s Col-
lege. The college program is availa-
ble to anyone who is interested that
qualifies. Lauren’s interview was
held at Montclair College in New
Jersey where she learned that many
majors fit into the working category
and the college can help the stu-
dents you decide what programs fit
their particular studies.
Lauren worked in the merchandis-
ing division, following a week-long
orientation, Workers are expected
to be in costume at all times while
working and tourists are referred to
as guests while it is the job of the
employees to make the guest ‘feel
at home.” Although she spent the
majority of her 40 hour work week
at the Kodak Pavilion, Lauren did
work a few hours at the Land
Pavilion which is sponsored by
Kraft.
Working was just a small part of
how her time was spent. In order to
earn nine college credits for her
summer work, Lauren had to write
a weekly log to be sent home to
King’s. She attended a three-hour
seminar weekly, then wrote a sum-
mary on each seminar.
Lauren found the experience to be
an ‘‘absolutely wonderful one.” She
lived in Snow White Campground in
a double wide mobile home with
seven other Disney student employ-
ees. Although they did not know
each other, the girls became friends
and got along very well.
On Lauren’s last night in the
Magic Kingdom, the students were
feted at a graduation ball featuring
a delicious dinner and Disney char-
acters to wish the students farewell.

Summer friends
Lauren Schleich of Dallas poses for a moment with one of
her best friends, the one and only Donald Duck. Lauren
spent the summer working at Disneyworld in Florida and
spent a lot of time with Donald and his friends.
These happy little fellows, about three inches tall, make
delightful stocking stuffers and tree-trimmers (each has
a golden cord for easy decorating). Many characters to
choose from, each with its own very special personality.
