SUSQUEHANNA
Vol. 80, No. 16, April 23, 1980
Sally Danz, the mother of
two Grandview students,
presented a petition to the
Donegal School Board last
Thursday night requesting
that something be done
about the open corridors at
Grandview.
The petition contained
198 names, representing
184 families of students
grades Kindergarten
through third. ‘‘Only four
parents refused to sign the
petition,’”’ said Mrs. Danz,
who was largely responsible
for the getting together of
the letter. The petition also
contained the names of
eight teachers.
The petition proposed
that the open walk-ways be
closed in. At present, all
students must go outside to
get to other classes, the
cafeteria, the library and the

persons in the communities
of Elizabethtown, Bain-
bridge, Falmouth, May-

and rural areas.
Seventy directors, guests,

Mount Joy, who related his
experiences on a recent trip
to the Dominican Republic.
Honored on the expiration
of her term as director and
secretary of the organization
(a post she had held since its
inception) was Mrs. David
Schlosser, who received a
potted plant.
Lester Hostetter, presi-
dent of the board of
directors, served as master
of ceremonies. The invoca-
tion was offered by Rev.
Dunsmore, administrator of
the Schock Home, where the
meals are prepared. -
Mrs. Richard Gerberich is
secretary and Mrs. Richard
Sloan is treasurer. Other
members of the board are
Mrs. Warren Foley, Frank
LeVan, Henrietta Ranck and

School board hears request
to close Grandview courtyard
gym. the Seiler Elementary
School is designed the same
way.
‘““We are worried about
the physical welfare of our
children,’”’ said Mrs. Danz.
““They should not have to go
outside for everything in the
winter.”’
The estimated cost of
enclosing the courtyard is
between $14,000 and
$17,000.
Mr. Ronald Melleby,
board member and chair-
man of the Building,
Maintenance and Supply
Committee, remarked that
the district is considering
doing an energy study of the
district buildings. Federal
funds are available for fuel-
saving improvements, but it
may be a long time before
schools see any of this
money. Buildings such as
hospitals receive priorty
when requesting these
funds.
The board agreed to look
into the matter when
preparing next year’s budg-
et.
In other business, the
board voted to keep Sunday,
June 1, as the baccalaureate
date. Rod Arndt, DHS
senior class president, re-
quested that the date be left
the same.
As it now stands, seniors
will rehearse for baccalaure-

Marietta patrolman William Garman
receives plaque & letter of praise
Officer William Garman,
a patrolman with the
Marietta Police Depart-
ment, received a plaque on
behalf of Mrs. Joseph
Collins, 201 Elk Avenue,
Marietta, last Wednesday
evening. Marietta Mayor J.
Robert Flanagan presented
Garman, a resident of
Washington Boro, with the
award.
Garman was honored for
his action on the night of
February 22, 1980. He
answered a call to the
Collins residence, where
Joseph Collins was fatally
stricken. Garman attempted
to save his life until the
ambulance arrived.
A letter, written by Mrs.
Collins’ son-in-law David L.
Smith SSC, U.S. Army,
accompanied the plaque.
The citation read:
“For the performance of
his duty, Officer William
Garman, who acted with
oustanding and unwavering
devotion to duty, in appreci-
ation for kindnesses and
comfort he extended in Mrs.
Joseph Collins’ hour of
need.
‘““‘Mere words cannot
express sincerely our feel-
ings of gratitude. All too
often no recognition is given
to Police Officers who
perform duties without so
much as a word of thanks.
‘So, Officer Garman, you
can be proud of yourself, for
your performance is a credit
to yourself and the Marietta
Police Department.’’
