Someone has got lo do it, and although we seem to be getting fewer attending these days we're determined lo keep it go- ing.” Killian adds, “We'll have about 40 this year, which is good, con- sidering other July attractions, especially for those younger mem- bers.” She and her husband don't mind all the work each reunion time; they enjoy it just as they enjoy displaying their large veg- etable garden and a barn full (the only one around) of antiques. ~ Hoover reunions date back to 1912 when the first was held at Harveys Lake, and each reunion official was named Hoover. Since then many marriages have taken place and some new but still fa- : miliar names have crept into the committee: Anderson, Brown, Spencer, Pascoe, Kocher, and Crispell, the last of which is fea- tured each year in another re- union loaded with Back Mt. mem- bers. Crispells and Hoovers are practically one [amily. .Dr. Albert Crispell, 78, and founder of the school-house mu- seum al Harveys Lake, was present and took Hoovers on a tour of the school. That tour, and ‘one through the Killian barn of antiques, were part -of a full re- union program with all the tradi- tional prizes. After a covered dish buffet the “youngest” prize was given to Micah Engle, whose parents Les and Kim came 160 miles from Dilsburg. Viola Rossman, Dallas, at 90 won the “oldest” prize, but she was [ollowed closely by Loretta Hoover Pascoe, also of Dallas, at 88. : The Hoover saga actually be- gan in the late 1700s when one Joseph Hoover moved from New Jersey to Pennsylvania where he had five sons. No records exist on four of the sons but one, William, ‘moved over Indian trails to L.ehman Township in a large sled drawn by oxen. During the ardu- ous journey a wooden runnerwore out and had to be replaced with a freshly-cut sapling. William and his wife moved into an old log house which became known as the William Hoover Farm. They raised eight sons and four daughters. One of his sons, People interested in the Back Mountain p Read E The - Dallas Post » Fellowship Evangelical .

And so the popu- lation explosion began! Two attendees at the reunion who had married Hoover girls were Howard Wilcox, 72, from Milford, and his brother Fred, 75; from Kingston. Both laughingly agreed that, “Between the Hoovers” and the Crispells’ production of off- spring, you would easily have a fair-sized town!” Hoovers were prosperous farm- ers in those early days. Wheat and corn were the main crops, but their sugar came from maple trees and fern-supplied tea, with brown rye serving as coffee. Salt was rare, and their only meat was bear and venison. Hoover women provided their clothing by spinning, weaving and dyeing wool to make yarn. Brown came [rom walnut or black oak bark. Clothes were handed down They made from child to child. Reunion visitors couldn't miss this sign on Troxell Switch Road. their own soap from wood ash and fats saved from a year of butcher- ing and cooking. Work on a Hoover genealogy is under way by reunion committee secretary Joyce Hoover of Dallas. Joyce says, “I know what a task it will be, but since I work as a legal secretary I think I am detail- minded enough to make it. Be- sides there's been great coopera- tion and I think we'll get there.” President Killian says next year's reunion will be one of those “same time, same place” affairs. That's the third week in July, Saturday the 19th. And she adds, “All you Back Mountain Hoovers who didn’t make ‘it this year we expect lo see next time for sure!” Sciences (continued from page 1) “This is a response to a na- tional effort toencourage students lo pursue careers in math, sci- ence, and engineering,” Shahin said. “We know this is a critical age for the kids to decide what courses lo take in high school. We want to show the beauty and connection between math and science.” Funded by the National Sci- ence Foundation, the grant pro- vides funds for two years, ex- plained Shahin, who intends to explore other sources of funding for future programs. The pro- gram is [ree to the students, who actually receive a small stipend. “These are highly-motivated students to invest their time in this program,” he said of the stu- dents whose entrance was based on an application, essay, tran- scripts, and recommendations from two teachers. Alter the students leave, they take a part of the program with them in the form of independent research projects, according to Shahin, which they will work on through- out their high school semesters with the help of not only a high school teacher, but also ongoing support from Misericordia faculty. “Those with the best projects will be allowed to compete in na- tional science [airs,” said Dave, oe not quite sure yet of exactly what '@ his project will cover. One thing he is sure of — the friendships and fun these fellow students have will make for some lasting memories. At one point, said Dave, the group got together and put on an impromptu talent show which highlighted the schol- ars’ other talents, such as sing- ing, playing musical instruments, dancing, and acting. “The last act brought the house down. Dr. Shahin’s class did a skit featuring his favorite phrases, teaching mannerisms and his dis- tinguished Egyptian accent,” said Dave with a smile on his face. Luckily, Dr. Shahin appreci- ates his students’ variety of skills. “They made fun of my accent and howlactinclass. It was great,” he said laughing.
