Sports Writer Praises Former Donegal Star One of school’s athletes recently was lauded to the skies by the sports editor of the Hunting- Donegal high don News for his achieve- ments at Juniata college and was pointed to as a young man who has had success be- cause he was willing to work for it—and hard! In some 25 inches of type the writer—Mailand McIlroy —gives in some dtail how Chris Sherk has been a shin- ing example for the ‘little guy” in sports. He tells how he has capped four years of athletics with a creditable scholastic average and has been a dedicated competitor. Specializing in football and wrestling, he has just com- pleted the 1968 season as co- captain of the mat team. Not only did he earn the praises of the writer, himself, but the Juniata athletic di- rector, Fred Pender, was quoted as being lavish in his praise of the former D.H.S. athlete. Sherk was a football, wrest- ling and tennis player at D.H.S. A gdaduating senior, Sherk iS the son of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob G. Sherk. 207 South Barbara street.
