Brian Edye Guard of
Month at Seiler
Brian Edye, a sixth grader
at Seiler Elemtery School in
Mount Joy, is December’s
Guard of the Month.
Brian is the son of
William and Kay Edye, 111
North Barbara Street. He
has two younger sisters and
one younger brother.
Brian feels he is a pretty
good crossing guard. He
said he felt good about the
job that he was doing.
Math is Brian’s favorite
subject in school, along with
art. When asked what he
wanted to do when he grew
up, Brian said ‘‘that’s pretty
far away right now. I don’t
believe I want to think about
that yet.”’

machine, which would cost
between $300 and $400.
This request will go to the
athletic council.
In further action, the
board accepted the bid of
United Disposal, Elizabeth-
town, for the removal of
refuse. United Disposal
made the only bid. Cost will
be $739.75 per month from
Jan. through June and Sept.
through Dec. Anything over
the set amount will cost $2
per cubic yard. Refuse will
be picked up at the high
school only during the
months of July and August,
at a cost of $50 per month.
The board decided to
retain Educators Mutual
Insurance Company for
major medical and hospital
and life insurance in the
district. Based on quotes
submitted by several inter-
ested companies, it was
decided that Educators
Mutual was very competi-
tive.
There are still problems
with water at the high school
track. It was decided to have
some drainage work done to
the area.
Repairs will be made to
the stage light wiring at the
Maytown school.
It was brought to the
attention of the board that
there are some problems
surrounding last year’s
graduation date. The sen-
iors were counted as
attending school 180 days,
when they really graduated
at the close of the 179th day.
This early graduation was
due to a closing for the TMI
incident. The state did not
make a decision concerning
TMI until sometime in May,
and it was felt unfair to
change the day of gradua-
tion at such a late date.

Adjustments will be made to
the records.
In the final business of the
evening, Walter Price ex-
tended to the board an
invitation to the Dec. 17th
Christmas Party sponsored
by the Donegal Education
Association.
