At Luncheon
Daughters were the honored
guests Tuesday noon as the Mt.
Joy Rotary club held a father-
daughter luncheon.
Speaker of the day was Mary
B. Myers, dean of girls at Mec-
Caskey high school, Lancaste
Dean Myers commended Mt.
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.”
