WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1968 VOL. 68. NO. 18 Stan’s The Man! DRUM MAJOR WINS Stan's" the man! Stanley Tucker was the “struttin’ man” a week ago at the Ephrata Farm Show parade and won himself and Donegal high school a first prize. One of the categories for judging of the many high school bands which competed in the parade on Wednesday night, Sept. 25, was for ‘best performing drum major.” Stanley, a Donegal high school senior from Marietta, a graduate from the drum section of Glenn Leib’s high school musicians, was named winner, it was revealed this week after judges completed their computations. The win carried with it a small monetary award, which goes to the band’s general fund. The Green & White band, as a unit, scored 163.3 points out of a possible 200. The winner counted 186.3.

We: are now inclined to ag- ree with them, after spend. ing a week end there just ten days ago! Swimming in the ocean on Sept. 22, you say? Yes, and it is delightful, with a water temperature of 74 and an air temperature at least ten degrees higher! Add to this the fact that the midsummer crowds were missing—on the beach, in the seaside towns and on the highways — and you have an almost ideal situation. There were just enough peopie on the beach to make it seem friendly; and all of them seemed unusually hap- py to be enjoying a favorite summertime pleasure so late in September! There was surf fishing, with some success — there was the building of tunnels and castles in the sand — there was jumping in th? waves, just plain sunbathing, and walking along the beach in the edge of the water. Just like summertime! Yes, for the shore itself is season- less—no fall color at all —— just the usual blue of the sky, the blue of the water, the whiteness of the waves and the sand. And yet, just over the THIS ISSUE -- Two Sections 24 PAGES by the editor's wife edge of a dune, glowing in the warm September sun, were masses of yellow gold- enrod! They proved it was autumn, after. all! * * * Another . activity that is definitely autumn began this past week. Mrs. Bruce Grei- ner, Park avenue, started teaching classes at the Lan- caster YWCA in the fascin- ating craft of making lovely note paper, place mats, and even jewelry and framed pictures by arranging and mounting tiny flowerlets and leaves in attractive design between two sheets of paper. An eye for beauty, and pa- tience, are pre-requisites for the art, and Mrs. Greiner seems to have them both in abundance, for her work is truly beautiful. * ¥ * An interesting part of the trip to the shore recently was seeing the gorgeous roadside markets along the Delaware highways. There were many of them, and each one was a picture in itself, piled high with big pumpkins, red apples, toma- toes, corn, peppers, cucum- bers, and just about any- thing else in the produce line which you would care to mention. Cars seemed to be stopped at each and every one, and we can imagine that the home grown fruits and vege- tables may have done a good bit of traveling before they reached their destinations— New York City, Washington (Turn to page 9) Chess Games Have Flavor Of International Chess is a universal game. And, so are government, politics and world incidents! And, Mount Joy’s Morrell Shields is having fun bring- ing the two together. As many people in the area know, the Donegal school district music teacher has had a lot of fun playing chess by correspondence with other people throughout the world. Presently, he is playing with at least 10 people—send- ing cards and letters back and forth as each man sets out his chess moves by a well-understood code, despite language or national barriers. It takes time to play, but to chess fans, a game can go on for weeks. Yes, months. But, specifically, two of Shields’ present opponents are men who live in Czecho- slovaka, the middle-European country which recently has been in the news as the tar- get of Russian intrusion. As he communicates by mail with his opponents, Shields includes in his letters bits of interesting informa- tion—a question, a friendly greeting. Recently, his communica- tions to Czechoslovaka have veered to questions about the current situation. Both reply in a “bristly” manner about the presence in their country of the soldiers of the ‘big neighbor.” One, writing in labored English on a postal card, says, ‘This situation is from our country a tragic mistake. Into 30 years it is second oc- cupation in our land. But I mean that fact finishes!” Another player, correspon- ding in French, takes what appears to be a similar atti- tude. What do these people fear of censorship? Who really knows on this side of the At- lantic? A third chess player, living in East Berlin says, ‘Thanks for your letter. Let us play chess and don’t speak from the politics. I certainly had another opinion about Rus- sian activities. Attends Signing Mrs. Catherine J. Bennett, head of the Donegal school district foods services, was one of the special guests on Thursday, Sept. 26, when Gov. Schaffer signed the '68 “School Lunch Week’ procla- mation. She was named to attend the official ceremony in the Governor's office as represen- tative of Region 8 (including five counties) of the Pennsyl- vania School Food Services Association. At Messiah College Bonnie Beth Engle, daugh- ter of Mr. and Mrs. Donald Dean Engle, is among the 148 freshmen enrolled at Messiah College, a liberal arts college located at Grantham, Penna., 11 miles southwest of Harris- burg. Enrollment for the current academic year stands at 500. This represents an approxi- mate ten per cent increase at Messiah College's satellite campus at Temple Universi- ty. The Philadelphia Campus is a new concept in higher education and has attracted national attention. SEVEN CENTS Donegal Raps Warwick x x x x TRIBE SET FOR HOMECOMING GAME Donegal did it again! Saturday the Indians ex- ploded in the second half and whopped Warwick, 25 to 7, to even out the season's count at two and two. And, wtih Homecoming set for Saturday afternoon, the Tribe is on the warpath, whooping it up for the Soi- anco fight. Donegal was on the short end of a 7-6 count at half- time Saturday, but after the intermission, came back with a stiff defense which allow- ed no further scoring and with an alert offense which rammed ‘over a counter in the third and two more in the fourth. The passing arm of Bruce Sutter continued to be a po- tent weapon but the Tribe added a running game which for the first time this season showed its potential. Donegal racked up 142 yards on the ground against the hosts’ 84. Phil Hossler was the ground gaining work horse. Hossler ran over the first TD from the 16; Sutter hit John Shrum for the second: after a blocked punt, Sutter went over from the one for the third, and Scott Penwell recovered a fumble and ran 35 yards for the final count- er. Saturday’s Solanco game brings all the trappings of a traditional Donegal Home- coming, including Alumni ac- tivities and a dance. Last week, Solanco was blasted by Columbia 34 to 7.

That, in my mind is when the world slowly but surely began to make a “turn around.” That's when things began to change. As a freshman, I was subject to hazing bv the sophomores, or anyone else who happened te want to have a little special sport at the expense of someone else’s dignity or personal feelings. It was all good fun and of a relatively mild nature. No one got hurt and no set. That was just the one got particularly up- way it was. Freshmen were green beginners. Sophomores were part of the establishment and had some privileges which everyone recognized that they had earned. That's just the way it was! It was accepted just as it was accepted that ~ children spoke when spoken to; children ate at the second table; children, when there was a house full of company, slept on the floor, and a lot of other similar things.
