Harnish to be honored at retirement
Mr. Samuel S. Harnish,
principal of Beahm Junior
High School for the past
ten years, will be retiring
after this year. In honor of
his services in the Donegal
School District, a Drop-In
Tea is scheduled for June
7, 1976, from 7 p.m. to 9
p.m. in the junior high
cafeteria. Anyone who has
been associated with Mr.
Harnish during his profes-
sional career is cordially
invited to attend. The tea
will also give everyone a
chance to see friends from
the past.
Sam’. Harnish hoped to
avoid junior high schools .
when he became a teacher
back in 1936. He wanted to
be a high school band
leader.
“The only place I didn’t
want to teach was in junior
high,”” Mr. Harnish recalls.
“I don’t regret that I'm in
a junior high, though.”
Sam Harnish has been
working with junior high
students for 27 years now,
and he likes them. “‘I find
it to be an age when kids
are very honest and forth-
right about their feelings,’
he says. ‘‘That’s healthy,
but it can be a detriment if
they are not guided in how
to express themselves.”
Kids are somewhat more
outgoing and sophisticated
than they were 27 years
ago, but not much tougher
to handle, Mr. Harnish
says. The job of a school
administrator has become a
lot more difficult, however,
especially during the cur-
rent economic crunch.
The 1976 Girls’ Gym
Club of the W.l. Beahm
Junior High School will
present its 10th annual
show Thursday, Friday,
and Saturday, June 3, 4,
and 5, in evening perform-
ances at 8 p.m. in the
Beahm auditorium. Show
directress is Mrs. Joyce
Zangari and the student
announcer is Mitchell John-
son.
To prepare for the prog-
ram, the fifty club mem-
bers who had made the
club after trying out began
practices after school hours
since March, and also
fashioned and made cos-
tumes and props for each
number. Of the fifty girls,
ten girls who were in the
club last year were selected
as chairmen for the entire
club. The chairmen and
directress selected the mu-
sic and created the dance
routines for the show as
well as the ideas for
costuming. Selected chair-
men for 1976 are: Sherri
Brackbill, Julie Endslow,
Tracee Gotwalt, Lisa Luca-
baugh, Mag Meszaros,
Beth Prowell, Angel Sec-

Sucess as a school ad-
ministrator is often synon-
ymous with good commun-
ication, Mr. Harnish says.
“If people can communi-
cate properly, the problems
often disappear,’’ he notes.
This is especially true of
relationships between the
school and parents.
Sam Harnish was born in
East Lampeter Township
on Dec. 6, 1914. He began
playing the piano at age 8,
and his family encouraged
him to pursue a career in
music. He got a B.A. in
music from Lebanon Valley
College and an M.A. from
the University of Pennsyl-
vania.
Mr. Harnish began
teaching music in Paradise
Township in 1936. He later
taught in Hempfield Town-
ship and the Millersville
State College Jr. High
Laboratory School. He ser-
ved as principal of Penn
Manor Jr. High for ten
years, and as principal at
Beahm for ten years.
He and his wife, Mary
Jane, have lived in Mount
Joy for 28 years. They have
five children; Sam, John,
James, Catherine and
Martha. All five are DHS
graduates. Mr. Harnish is
an active member of the
Lions Club and the Luth-
eran Church.

District,” Mr. Harnish
says. ‘‘The administration,
school board and faculty
have all been enjoyable to
work with.”’
In his retirement, Mr.
Grandview School has Play Day
Harnish hopes to do church
and community work, tra-
vel and make himself
useful to his childrens’
families.
Bo WE wi ga
These youngsters at Grandview’s play day lost the tug-of-war but enjoyed falling
down.
Mike Sager, Daryl Hou-
seal, Jon Sheetz, Kris
McCue, and John Hayman,
all high school students at
Donegal, pitched in to help
to conduct the games at the
annual Play Day at Grand-
view School, Friday.
Games were set up as
contests for the kinder-
garten through sixth grades
and included: sack races,
tug-of-war, three-legged
races, broad-jump, etc. At
the end of the activities
each student held a helium
filled balloon to which a
card with their name and
address was attached, and
at a given signal the bal-
loons were released into
the air. It is hoped that
anyone finding the balloons
will write to the child
whose name and address is
attached. It will be inter-
esting to find just how far
the balloons may have
gone. So, if you see one of
the balloons in your back-
yard or in your travels,
please get in touch with the
student and tell where it
was found.
