Page 2 - SUSQUEHANNA TIMES James Buchanan as an ambitious young lawyer. ...tragic romance [continued from Page 1] After the dance, Buchanan tried to return the gloves, but he acci- dently left one glove in his pocket. Buchanan took Ann home from the dance. On her doorstep, he reached into his coat pocket for a handkerchief, and pulled out the other girl's long white glove. Ann accused him of having an affair with other girls. They had a bitter quarrel over this. Ann’s father was up- stairs listening. He called to Ann, ‘Throw the S.0.B. out. He's not worth the powder and shot to blow him to hell and back." Buchanan waited two days, then tied to come calling on Ann to make up, but Ann’s father wouldn't Spinning Spokes [continued from Page 1] bers of St. John's con- gregation. Spinning Spokes was formed last November. In order to prepare for the trip, members worked together on bake sales and odd jobs, such as moving Harold Ney’s chickens (Kathy Hay is Harold's daughter).

Buchanan's letters were returned because Ann's father read his daughter’s mail. According to Buchanan, Ann told her friends that she would have loved to married him, but her father wouldn’t let her. Both Ann and her sister committed suicide, because their father wouldn't let them marry the men they wanted. (Ann’s sister, Sarah Coleman, died as suddenly and mysteriously as Ann. Sarah was in love with the Rev. Augustus Muhlenberg but her father forbid Muhl- enberg to enter the Cole- man mansion.) Accoring to Edna Guhl, the hostility between James Buchanan and Robert Coleman never ended. She says that, when Lincoln replaced Buchanan in the White House, the ex-presi- dent was not able to return directly to Lancaster. Buchanan’s stagecoach dropped him off at Long Level, because Coleman’s henchmen were waiting to attack Buchanan at the Lancaster station. Mrs. Guhl has been a school teacher for much of her life. (She taught before her marriage and after her husband’s death.) She graduated from Stevens High School in 1911, and attended Millersville College where she majored in history. Her education was continued at many universities, and she has travelled around the world. Mrs. Guhl taught for two years at Beahm, but was forced to ‘‘retire’’ at age 72. Instead of relaxing, she found a job teaching 1st grade at St. Anne's School. Maytown, Grandview will share principal James D. Lawrence will serve as part-time principal of Grandview Elementary School in additional to holding down his current job as principal of Maytown School. Lawrence's ap- pointment became official at the Donegal School Board meeting last Thurs- day evening. At the meeting, a letter from attorney William M. Musser informed the board members that they were within their legal rights in denying summer employ- ment to high school gui- dance counselor, John Day. Mr. Day had voiced his reservations about the termination of his summer duties at a hearing on June 17th after he and three other professional staff members were denied summer employment as an economy measure. In other business the board also approved the following persons to fill teaching positions in the district: Ms. Sharon Green will replace Mrs. Vera Gin- grich who retired as Eng- lish instructor at the high school; Robert Fruend will replace Susan Young for the 1976-77 school year as the high school math teacher; and Mrs. Eliza- beth’ Baley who will take the place of Mrs. Marian Toppin who retired as kin- dergarten teacher at the Seiler Elementary School. Mrs. Nancy Paden will replace Mrs. Lily Grimm as the high school guidance counselor. Mrs. Marian Heisey will supervise all elementary art. The board received the resignation of Rick J. Topper as junior high school science teacher. Gene H. Newcomer will be resporisible for all elem- entary guidance throughout the district, the board de- cided. Mrs. M. Dorcas Knorr will take charge of elementary nursing in the district. The insurance recom- ‘mended for Donegal students by the board will be offered by Titus Rutt, local broker, through the Reserved Life Insurance Co. Primary coverage dur- ing school hours for all 13 grades will cost $5.00 for the year, up one dollar from last year. Twenty dollars will be the price for 24-hour coverage, up five dollars from 1975-76. The school will pay $35.00 for each student on the varsity football team; five dollars more than last year’s enrollment. The board approved the selection of six doctors at the Norlanco Medical Cen- ter as medical examiners and attending physicians for the varsity football games starting in Septem- ber. The board approved transfer of Mr. William Long from position of dis- trict painter to head build- ing custodian at Riverview Elementary School and Mr. John L. Parker, Jr., as head custodian at the high school to begin August 16, 1976. Board members viewed a filmstrip on ‘‘School Board Duties and Responsibili- ties.” The film will be available for use by other organizations in the dis- trict. According to Nick Coble, Directory of Public Rela- tions, PA School Boards Associations, Inc., Harris- burg, ‘‘this 20-minute pro- gram succinctly present an overview of the local school board’s duties and re- sponsibilities, the role and relationship of the superin- tendent of the board, and fundamental teachings about what a school board ‘“‘can do and cannot do.”’ Mr. Coble said a recent Gallup Pool states that the function and role of the people have a very poor understanding about the function and role of the local school board. It is the hope of the PSBA this presentation will ‘‘help close that gap’’ through its viewing by groups such as 2TA, churches, etc. Maytown Ambulance Asso. to hold class by Mike Kanoff Maytown Fire Company Ambulance Association is holding a class in Cardio Pulmonary Resuscutation at the Fire House.
