GivenBig Antlers A hunters’ prize of great interest has been received by the Mount Joy Sportsmen association. The trophy is believed to be one of the ten largest elk antlers ever taken. The ani- mal was killed more than 50 years ago in British Colum- bia by the late Simon Camer- on on a hunting expedition into Canada. Later the antlers were giv- en to the late Paul Kaley. Following his death recent- ly, Mrs. Kaley gave the ant- lers to the Sportsmen. Elwood Martin, president, said this week that plans are being made to mount the huge antlers for display. ‘Of This and That’ “What’s in a name?” That's a question that the fourth grade children in Mrs. Zella Rehrer’s room at Grand- view elementary school ans- wered in an interesting way last week!

What did these things con- vey? Each little grouping sug- gested the name of one of the teachers at the school, the principal, or a Donegal dis- trict administrator. No names were placed in the exhibit, so the fun was to GUESS the name each group- ing represented. For instance: Mr. Shields, the instrumen- tal music teacher, was repre- sented by two large silver- paper ‘‘shields,” with tiny THIS ISSUE -- Two Sections 24 PAGES by the editor's wife instruments lying in front of them. Mr. Hart was suggested by a ‘“Heart’-shaped vase, con- taining “herbs,” which in themselves stood for the name of another teacher, Mrs. Erb. In a circus setting, a piece of “rare” meat was hanging just beyond the reach of some of the little “wild” an- imals, suggesting Mrs. Rehr- er. Two ‘‘tombstones” in a graveyard represented the two Thomes at the school — William Thome, the sixth grade teacher, and Sue Thome teacher in the fourth grade. The trim sailor and the submarine? Who else but the building principal, Mr. Say- lor? The kindergarten teacher’s name is Mrs. William Groff. This was suggested with a little “Billy goat Gruff!” Mr. Coleman— coal and a “Coleman’’ lantern . . . Mrs. Klugh, a Barbie doll with a detective garb, hunting “clues” . . . Mrs. Germer, the the nurse, with a sign saying “germs” and tiny bugs scat- tered around . . . Miss Joan- ne Longenecker, with a stuf- fed giraffe . . . Mrs. Roland, with “rolling land” . . .
