..Mike Carroll
Mike’s decision, which
he has thonght about since
early childhood, was final-
ized about 2 months ago
when his parents were
away on vacation. Mike
spent hours every day,
sitting in the empty house
thinking about his future
and praying for guidance.
After about a week, he had
made up his mind.
Mike went ahead and
applied to the Seminary,
and was accepted after an
interview with the bishop.
No one knew until recently,
though, that he was giving
up Penn State and football.
Mike's parents were as
surprised as everyone else
when he announced his
acceptance at the Semin-
ary. ‘‘l used to talk to my
parents about this when I
was younger, but then I
stopped,’’ Mike told us.
One reason he gave up
speaking about his idea
was that he felt his school-
mates would accept him
more readily if they didn’t
know he was a future
priest.
Mike is giving up things
that many people spend
their lives trying to get, but
he feels that there are
more important things in
life than money, dating,
and ‘‘success.”’ He told us,
““This life only lasts about
80 years, but the next one
lasts forever.”’
A luncheon for Mike
at BVM Church
The members of the
BVM Catholic Church held
a luncheon last Sunday for
Mike Carroll, who recently
decided to become a priest.
Mike is the first person
from his church to become
a priest or nun in the last
108 years.
Mike starts his studies at
the Saint Pius X Seminary,
in Erlanger, Kentucky, to-
day.
The luncheon featured
talks by Father Michael,
Mrs. Mary Ann Migash,
Joseph Meszaros, and Ted
Dalkiewicz. Mike himself
spoke briefly, thanking the
congregation for their sup-
port. He also told a story:
A hiker, walking alone,
stumbled off the edge of a
cliff. On the way down, he
managed to grab a tree
root.
Looking down, he saw a
1000-foot drop. Looking up,
he saw a sheer rock face
with no hand holds.
The hiker sized up his
situation, and yelled as
loud as he could, *‘‘IS
ANYONE HERE?”
**Yes, 1 am here,’’ an-
swered a deep voice.
“Who are you?’’ asked
the hiker.
“1 am the Lord,” replied
the voice, and then asked,
“Do you have faith?‘
“Yes, all the faith in the
world, Lord,’ the hiker
replied.
“Then let go of the
tree!’’ the deep voice
commanded.
The hiker, still hanging
on, thought for a few
seconds. Then he again
yelled up the cliff.
‘‘Is anyone ELSE up
there?’
At the conclusion of the
luncheon, Mike was pre-
sented with a ‘‘diploma’’
prepared by Mrs. Lombard,
and a purse full of money
to help pay his schooling
costs. The purse was pre-
sented on behalf of the
entire congregation by
Father Michael.
Mike, the son of Mr. and
Mrs. Robert Carroll, 328 E.
Market, Marietta, was on
the football team at DHS
and also the wrestling
team. He was elected to
the presidency of both the
local and state Vocational
Industrial Clubs of Amer-
ica. While at Donegal, he
was also Boy of the Month
and a member of the
Varsity Club.
Pet story
The Schock Center re-
cently held a pet show
—without pets.
Each entry consisted of a
picture of the owner’s
beast and a story about the
animal.
Carrie Ney of Mount Joy
won the Largest Dog
award.
Esther Hockenberry, also
of Mount Joy, owns an
albino squirrel which was
judged Most Unusual. The
squirrel, named Fluffy, is
shared with her neighbors.
Fluffy has been in Esther's
area for several months.
John Brown told the best
pet story. :
Others who entered pet
pix and stories were Caleb
Myer, Romaine Good,
Nedra Brandt, and Millie
Way.
