ed, The Mount laced with pleasant incidents which make the event something special in the lives of all who are participant{s—gradu- ates and parents. @ ® ® For instance — Thursday night at Donegal’'s 13th an- nual commencement, Angelo Albano, president of the board of education present- ed the diplomas to graduat- ing seniors of the class of 1967. Commencements are ® ®e © He did—the program said that he did. And, he did present all but two. They were presented by two other members of the board—Lew- is Bixler and Roy Longenec- ker. ® ® \d Bixler actually handed out a pair of diplomas, to his twin daughters — Florence and Frances. Longenecker, a long-time member of the board, presented a diploma to his daughter, Paula. One of the three girls received a kiss to go with the sheep- skin. @ eo 0 Did you see the U.F.O. on Sunday? ® ® ® One was reported to have buzzed Mechanicsburg. The same evening there were people in the Mount Joy who also saw things in the sky which they could not name. oo © eo Whatever they saw, they definitely were ‘unidentified.’ ® ® » And — we're not just be- ing facetious. They actually saw strange, unusual and un- identified objects in the sky. Call ’em fireballs, unusual jets or whatever, they were very different and raised questions in the minds of the viewers the second they saw them. ® © o From Harrisburg comes word that there is activity connected with the building of the Route 230 bypass a- round Mount Joy. Present plans call for bids to be ask- ed next month on one sec- tion of the highway. $ ® @ Completion s‘ill looks as if it may be a Christmas gift to the community in 1969.
