Joy on its fine record in all pha- ses of school life and drew par- ticular attention to the fact that at a time when basketball was at its height Peter Nissley, Don- egal high school senior, put his mind to the task of writing an essay which took first place in the American Legion's county assay contest on the subject “My Method of Promoting Dem- ocratic Citizenship.” As her subject for the day, the speaker chose the “Square Life’ as outlined in William Danforth’s book, “I Dare You.” Dean Myers stated that devel- opment of the ‘square life” may be symbolized by the four sides of a square, directed to: 1. Stand tall (development of physical fitness): 2. Think tall (develop- ment educationally); 3. Smile tall (development of personali- ty): 4. Live tall (development of faith.) On the latter point, she com- mented that the important thing is not so much what faith but that there be faith through which one develops those prin- ciples which make for “living tall.” George Houck. music teacher at Donegal High School will re- turn to the coaching ranks next year as head basketball coach at Big Spring Joint High School in Adams County, Mr. Houck will also teach music at the new school.
