Why did these 7th and 8th grade students participate? “I never stayed up all night before.” ‘‘It's fun.” *'To see if we could out-last the teachers.’’ *‘It’s better than staying at home.” ‘““To be with my friends.” ‘‘There’s nothing better to do.” The time spent on the court was just part of the actual time students put into the marathon. Before play- ing, they solicited pledges from people throughout the community. After the mara- thon, they collected the money pledged. The following merchants donated prizes which were awarded to students in serving contests held throughout the event: Herr’s Fruit Market, Dave- ler’s Store, Marietta B.P., Market Kart, Youndt’s Meat Market, Appley’s News Agency, Shank’s Tav- ern, and the Marietta Theater, all of Marietta; Hostetter Hardware, Donna Gray’s Beauty Salon, Weis Market, Kinsey's Archery Products, Tastee-Freez, Ko- ser’s Jewelry Store and Darrenkamp’s, all of Mount Joy.
