The W.I. Beahm Junior High chorus will present a musical, The Fabulous Fa- ble Factory, Friday, April 25 at 7:30 pm. The musical will be presented in the junior high auditorium, and ad- mission is free. The musical is based on a book by Joseph Robenitte. Music is by Thomas Tier- ney, and Robinette and Tierney both wrote the lyrics. The musical tells the story of a twelve-year-old boy, Monroe, who stumbles into an old, abandoned factory. He accidentally turns on the ““machine’’ which is made up of chorus members. The machine has been missing an essential part—the moral maker—for two thousand years. As the ‘‘machine”’ acts out various fables, Monroe supplies the moral for each story. The fables include: The Lion and the Mouse; The Farmer and the Donkeys; The Tortoise and the Hare; The Ant and the Grasshopper; The Country Mouse and the City Mouse; and The Dog and the Shadow. The only props used in the musical come from two trunks placed on stage. The chorus sings songs such as ‘““New,”’ “Will You Buy My Story?”’, ““‘Skoo-bee Doo-bee’’ and ‘“The Time is Now.”’ Students with speaking £4 The ‘machine’ comes to life in *“The Fabulous Fable Factory” The Fabulous Fable Factory at Beahm rolls are Scott Sipling, portraying Aesop; Luther Homsher as Monroe; and machine parts Lori Vogt, Cheri Johnson, Tina Martin, Bill Weaver, Natalie Rauda- baugh, Michele Vogt, Dawn Zimmerman, Rebecca Cor- rigall, Melinda Hinerdeer and Thomas Gordner.

The girls lost to Elizabeth- town last week by a score of 71 to 61. The best event for Donegal in that meet was the Javelin. Sherri Kinsey, Coleen Jones and Judy Kerschner gave the Indians turned in by DHS trackmen. Steve Kunkle leaped 6 feet in the high jump. He is approaching the school a clean sweep in that event. Beth Gainer contributed three first place awards to Donegal by winning the 1600 meter run, the 3200 meter run and as a member of the 3200 meter relay. Patty Fready also ran the 3200 meter relay, and she took second in the 800 meter run. Laureen Donovan took second place in the 400 meter run, the 200 meter record held by Marty Heisey ( 6 ft.

Coach Chuck Portser says ‘‘We failed to improve our individual goals; there- fore our team failed.” In spite of the loss, Portser says the attitude of the team was very good. The girls once again had a clean sweep in the javelin [continued on page 5] turned in a ‘‘super perform- ance’’ in the high hurdles with a time of 15.2. Steve's previous best time had been 16.02. Coach Milovanovic was ‘‘really pleased’’ with both performers last Thurs- day. On Tuesday Donegal had topped Warwick, 90-60. The team has not been up to par with versatile Al Bundy out with an injury during the Garden Spot meet. Tuesday Donegal meets Cocalico here and Thursday Annville there. On Saturday the Ship- pensburg invitational meet takes place. Coach Milovan- ovic expects 11 members of the Donegal team to qualify. April 16, 1980 East Donegal citizens | report vandalism, drugs | A number of concerned citizens attended the E. Donegal Twp. Supervisors Meeting Thursday, report- ing on incidents, vandalism, harassment and drug ex- change within the area. J. H. Brubaker, chairman, said, “We should air these things so a solution can be forthcoming. Chief Shirk said the school grounds may be posted with ‘‘no tresspass- ing signs’’ so that after school no one may be on the property. He further stated there is no longer a ‘‘no loitering’’ law, but that some violations are charge- able. If citizens see a violation, call the police number and report it but be prepared to stand by your charge. More policemen are needed in the township, more parent supervision and © supervisors more cooperation of citi- zens. ‘““We don’t have vandalism like other towns’’ and in answer to whether or not there is a curfew ordinance, Shirk stated, ‘‘it applies up to age 17—youth must be off the streets on weeknights by 10pm. In other business the adopted an amendment to the zoning ordinance allowing dwelling units and other structures (more than 1 unit) to be constructed in the agricult- ural zoned area. Play equipment has been ordered for Rock Point Park and tennis nets will be installed at the Legion Park. The fire company had 11 calls for March while the ambulance had 10. The ambulance fund had totaled $6,335. Memberships add up to 302 and negotiations are in the making for a new vehicle. Coach Cliff Shank looks for healthy team Donegal softball coach Cliff Shank is hoping for a healthy team this week, as the girls meet Conestoga Valley, Lebanon Catholic and Hempfield. “We have not played a game this season with all of our starters. There is always someone sick or injured.”’ The team lost badly (10 to 0) to Manheim Central last Tuesday. “They had a good pitcher,”” Shank says. “We just could not get the hits we needed.” The girls lost Thursday’s game against Norlebco by a score of 6 to 3. ‘““We had one shaky inning in which Norlebco got five runs.” Aside from that inning the Indians looked pretty good. Brenday Hershey and Sheree Gallagher combined to pitch a 3-hitter. Sheree also went two for four at the plate. The team, with a one and three record at this time, will have to play catch-up to attain Shank’s predicted .500 season. He feels that once they get used to playing together they should have no trouble doing just that. The team plays C.V. at home Tuesday, a game that was rescheduled because of Monday’s rain. They play Lebanon Catholic at home Wednesday and Hempfield away on Friday. Curtis Heller jumping for the boys track team
