Work being
After ten years of slow
progress, the Marietta Jay-
cees Center is expected to
shape up quickly, thanks to
federal funding and volun-
teer labor.
The Jaycees purchased
the former Marietta Ele-
mentary School ten years
ago, but lack of money made
renovations difficult.
To qualify for federal
money, the Jaycees needed
a complete set of plans.
These were drawn up by

Jaycee building.
The Marietta Youth Cen-
ter will hold a rummage
sale on Saturday, June 14,
from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
All - proceeds will go
toward rennovations of the
group’s new facility on West
Market Street.
The building, which
needs repair, was donated
to the Congregational Bible
Church’s youth ministry by
Mr. Edward Charles of
Donegal Mutual Insurance.
The youth center is now
located in an old building on
East Front Street. It offers
recreational facilities and
Bible study and discussion
for youths. Last year, the
center was open four nights
per week. About sixty
youths were involved in the
programs.
The West Market Street
building’s projected renova-
tions include:
1.) Fixing up the front
section of the first floor into
a youth lounge with ping
pong and pool tables.
2.) Tearing out the third
floor to make a small gym.
3.) Putting a plumbing
and heating system in the
front third of the building.
4.) Repairing the roof.
5.) Fixing up other rooms
at the rear of the first and
second floors.
The program of the new
youth center will involve
boys’ and girls’ clubs, an
informal lounge for the
youth on Friday and Satur-
day nights, a weight-lifting
club, counseling groups,
and other programs set up
to meet needs as they arise.
All programs will be
supervised by trained
Christian leaders.

Maytown Elementary
by Patricia Gilmartin
The Maytown Sixth Grade
Graduation Exercises were
held Tuesday evening, June
3, in the Maytown Elemen-
tary School auditorium un-
der the tutelage of Mr.
Warren Rupp. It was
especially memorable for
the class of 1986 considering
that this was both the very
first year and the very last
year that all 30 students
were assigned as one class.
In essence, the gradua-
tion exercise provided a
remembrance of elementary
school, which is a time of
molding and growing. The
students paid respects to
their mentors and recog-
nized the achievements of
the class. Following the
‘‘commencement,’’ a family
reception was held in the
school cafeteria.
The class en toto, com-
plete with mortarboards,
stirred visions of loving
pride in the onlookers.- The
ceremony began with a
procession to the strains of
“Pomp and Circumstance,’
followed by entertaining
accounts of the students’
elementary years, musical
presentations (including a
class song adapted to “It’s a
Small World,’ lyrics written
by a class mother, Mrs.
done on Marietta Jaycee Center
DeVitry, Gilbert and Brad-
ley, Lancaster architects.
The first federal grant of
$29,000 paid for these plans,
plus a new roof over the
gym. Interior jobs such as
wiring have been done on a
volunteer basis.
A Lancaster contracting
firm, Towers, Ayers and
Huber, has been awarded a
$44,000 contract for the
second stage of renovations.
This includes the completion
of the gym, electrical,
plumbing and heating in-
stallations for the newer
part of the building (built in
1936-37). The older part of
the building (built in 1873)
will be sealed off via fire
wall for an indefinite period.
It is hoped that the area
can be reopened in the
future, when additional
funding may become avail-
able.
The gym floor will be
plexide over concrete for
multiple purposes such as
roller skating, volleyball and
basketball. Four existing
windows will be permanent-
ly sealed. Walls are being
sanded and repainted and
stands are being resanded.
Broken = wainscoating is
being replaced with the
assistance of personnel from
the Community Action Pro-
gram. Additional rooms are
being made ready for
weight-lifting, a karate
school, and game rooms for

final nostalgic receiving of
diplomas and the recession-
al. The students then
formed a receiving line,
ushering their families and
friends to the waiting
reception especially pre-
pared to honor the ‘Class of
1986.’
Special considerations
and contributions of time
and talent were much
appreciated, including the
commendable musical dir-
ection of Sharon Zimmer-
man and the artistry of
Cheryl Wise. Mrs. Wise
designed and individually
crafted the ‘‘fraktured”’
diplomas.
Mr. Rupp was presented
gifts of appreciation from
class representatives Stuart
Newman and Tammy Noll.
