Students in Sister Antonia’s fourth grade class at St. Peter's school examine a globe.
Open house at St. Peter’s Catholic School
Catholic Schools through-
out the nation celebrated
Catholic Schools Week
from February 6th to 12th.
During Catholic Schools
Week, St. Peter’s School in
Elizabethtown carried out
two activities designed to
show education which inte-
grates academic training
with moral and religious
training. The teachers and
students prepared a special
liturgy to be celebrated
with parents on Monday
night. At this special Mass,
parents and teachers re-
newed to the children of St.
Peter’s, their commitment
to the educational needs of
the children. Then on
Tuesday, St. Peter's wel-
comed visitors to come and
see some of the fine
educational opportunities
offered there.
At St. Peter’s School in
Elizabethtown teachers and
students work and pray
together in a community
dedicated to quality educa-
tion in a Christian atmos-
phere. St. Peter's is a
unique school. In addition
to daily religion classes,
the value centered curricu-
lum is enhanced by up-to-
date and proven math,
reading, social studies,
language arts and science
programs. Consistently,
students have placed very
high on national SRA
Achievement testing re-
sults. This year’s results
are particularly outstand-
ing. St. Peter's small class
size enables teachers and
aides at meet students on
an individual and personal
level thus affording educa-
tional progress at a multi-
level schema. The unique
characteristic of Catholic
schools is one of the
Christian message, com-
munity, and service. Stu-
dents at St. Peter's evi-
dence this in their friendly
care, concern, and service
to one another.
Anyone wishing further
information about St.
Peter's are invited to call

reen Patrice at 367-1678.

Rock Point Road Park
was the main topic of dis-
cussion at last week’s
meeting of the East Done-
gal Supervisors.
Financing of the planned
pavillion occupied the Su-
pervisors for some time.
Ways to cut labor costs
were considered, but, due
to Federal funding -of the

The Supervisors also dis-
cussed acquisition of land
for the park.
Chief Shirk advocated
that a fence be erected
between the road and ball
fields to prevent children
from running into traffic. It
was decided to investigate

Dave Houseal, a repre-
sentative of the Maytown
Civic Association, asked
that ordinances be consi-
dered which would require
sidewalks to be cleared of
snow; limit the time a car
could be parked in one
place (to get rid of ‘junk’
autos); and zone out gar-
bage collection companies.
Chief Shirk objected to
the proposed parking rule,
saying, “‘Suppose you've
got a 48 hour limit. Then
some guy gets sick for a
week and he’s in violation
of the law.”
None of the proposals
were immediately acted
upon. :

Supervisors Abram Groff
and Lloyd Fuhrman, as
well as four members of
the Park Commission, met
Monday night with con-
tractor Dan Gohn to discuss
his plans for the park
pavillion, for which Dan
Gohn and Associates are
bidding.
Mr. Gohn had another
meeting to attend and left
Jack McSherry, an engin-
€er, to outline and discuss
the plans with the Park
Commission and Supervi-
sors. They discussed the
various design possibilities
in detail.
The submitted plans call
tion at an estimated cost of
$100,000.
At the hearing, residents
objected to the proposed
construction, saying traffic
for an open sided structure
measuring 32’ by 48’ at the
base and 38’ by 50’ along
the roof edges. The pavil-
lion would have wooden
post supports and cedar
shake roof.
The Supervisors have
$10,000 to spend on con-
structing the building, so
they aimed to get the
largest roof for the money,
even considering a dirt
fioor instead of a concrete
slab, a suggestion of Lloyd
Fuhrman. Eventually, they
plan to add lavatories, a
kitchen, and electrical wir-
ing when more money
becomes available. *
Mr. Gohn is asking
$2000 for his engineering
fee. This would be a cost in
excess of the $10,000
alloted for the pavillion
materials and construction.
