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!
It was their “turn” to put
a display in the showcase
in the front corridor, and
their efforts created much
talk and speculation when
the display was in place.
A trim sailor and a sub-
marine. ... a cireus . . ..a
“shadow box’ showing a lit-
tle cafeteria . . . several Bar-
bie dolls . . . a little Indian
girl doll . . . a tiny piano . .
and much more . ..
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

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” . . . Mrs.

On that day the annual
