The Valley Tennis and Swim Club was founded in 1961 by a group of dedicated tennis players who wanted to play on top quality courts in a rural, no-frills atmo- sphere. A swimming pool was built to accommodate the members’ fami- lies, but the basic atmosphere of the club has remained unchanged. Len Matysczak, Dallas High School Tennis Coach, is the cur- rent club manager.

No Appointment Needed. Matthew McMahon recently attended the Hugh O’ brian Youth Leadership (HOBY) Central Pennsylvania Seminar at Leba- non Valley Col- lege. Matthew joined more than 227 other young leaders repre- senting as many MATTHEW high schools McMAHON from throughout Central Pennsylvania. Representing Lake-Lehman High School, he is the son of Mar- tin and Tammy McMahon. As HOBY celebrates its 40th anniversary, its leadership semi- nars continue to bring together select groups of high school sopho- mores who have demonstrated leadership abilities in their high schools and communities so they can interact with groups of distin- guished leaders in business, gov- ernment, education and the pro- fessions to discuss present and future issues. The goal is to provide the stu- dents with a stimulating forum for learning about the American incentive system and democratic process and for broadening their understanding of their leadership potential and quest for self devel- opment. Lehman-Jackson holds Arts and Science Fair The Lehman-Jackson Elemen- tary School in conjunction with the Parent Teacher Association sponsored its annual Art and Sci- ence Fair recently. Grades K-6th assisted with the transformation that changed the halls and walls of Lehman to a scene from a tropical rainforest. Complete with sights and sounds from the heart of a jungle, the art work displayed included an aquarium filled with tropical fish, trees filled with jungle animals and even a life size alligator roam- ing the front lobby of the elemen- tary school. Coordinated by elementary art teachers, Susan Roese, this out- standing program owes its suc- cess to an energetic group of PTA volunteers, headed by Victoria Grzyboski. Grades 4-6 put their imagina- tions to the test with projects rang- ing from “crystal growing” to a “bed of nails.” Environmentally minded stu- dents tried their hand at things like a natural water filtration sys- tem, checking the cleanliness of our air, and making homemade paper. Will solar engergy power a Ferris Wheel? Will an egg bounce? How can you build alamp with alemon? The answers to all these ques- tions were found as students and parents alike observed and par- ticipated in what promised to be an enlightening night at Lehman- Jackson. — America's Best Pressed choose...
