You’ and ‘All good wishes’ to
another group of high school
students, who came to Mount
Joy over the weekend and
played a wonderful concert
Saturday night in the Done-
gal high school auditorium.
We mean the Chambers-
burg Area Senior high school
band, numbering some 65
musicians, who came here at
the invitation of Glen Leib,
Donegal’s band director, and
visited from Saturday morn-
ing until Sunday afternoon
in homes in the area.
It was a peppy, high-spirit-
ed group, but also a well-
mannered, well behaved one,
and the Donegal hosts and
hostesses had only compli-
mentary things to say about
their young guests!

Donegal took off Tuesday at Hershey like a
jet plane bound for Cuba but before the night
wails over, it was a “fight for your Me” struggie
which reverted to Donegal's most famous charac-
teristic — excitement.
The Tribe pulled the semi-final game of the
Class B Section III out
of the fire from Conrad-
Weiser 52 - 50, but not befbre the fans had had 2
wonderful time.
Coach Ken Keener and his lads now move in-
to the finale at Hershey Arena Thursday night,
March 6, at 8:30 o’clock.
The opponent will be Susquehannock, winner
of the second game Tuesday night over Daniel

Mount Joy's East ward is
losing one of its three coun-
ciimen, it was revealed this
week.
Paul D. Little, Park Ave.
has decided to resign
place on the council and
plans within the next few
days to submit a letter to
that effect.
his
Little said this week that
Lis resignation is purely per-
sonal and explained that the
responsibilities of his work
in employee relations with
Armstrong Cork demands tpo
much of his time and energy
to permit him to give suffi-
cient time to the council's
duties.
He was re-elected to office
two years ago for a term
which will not expire until
January 1, 1972.
The unexpired portion of
his term will be filled by the
council, perhaps at the Apri!
meeting.

A plea for a “more realis-
tic” street opening ordinance
was made Tuesday night.
March 3, at the March meet-
ing of the Borough Council,
held in Friendship Fire Co.
hall.
Street Committee Chairman
Simeon Horton said that the
borough needs to study its
fees charged for breaking
open borough streets by utiii-
ties for the installation of
underground services.
He explained that Mount
Joy chargts only $5.00 for a
license to cut open the streets
Yet, he pointed out, that
amount is not in keeping
with the damage done to the
street. '
In other matters brought
to the Council, Horton re-
vealed that although snow
removal this season has been
at a minimum, damage to
the streets by the winter
weather has been very heavy.
Several streets which oth
erwise would not have been
scheduled for repairs during
the coming summer may now
need attention, he said. He
mentioned two in the Florin
ward — Church and North
Angle.

One could say with a cer-
tain amount of correctness
that Donegal never was in
trouble, despite the fact the
score was knotted up at 38
and again at 40—both timese
in the flnal period,
But, the problem was that
despite the fact Donegal
seemed to run foot-loose and
fancy free through Conrad
Weiser during most of the
first half, the Blue & Whiie
Scouts just didn’t seem to
realize the fact and would
not play dead.
After trailing 27 - 20 at
the intermission, CW kept
chipping away until as piay
was resumed after the three-
quarter pause the count was
knotted at 38.
The Scouts had picked up
a momentum which became
a threat and victory was a
touch and go possibility for
about eight minutes—Weiser

clawing at the seat of the
pants of the Donegal Indians.
With 30 seconds remaining.
big Jake Zerbe slapped in
his 9th fielder of the even-
ing and the count was only
49 - 48 for Donegal.
Almost instantly, the Iribe
pulled one of its fantastic
fast breaks, shook McCowin
loose under the north bucket
and he boosted the Indian
total to 51. But the Scouts
just would not give up. Mike
George drove in for two
more and time was ticking
away with victory still totter-
ing on the fence.
Steve Sload put the cork
in the bottle when he sank
one of two free tosses (eight
seconds remaining) on Greg
Werner's personal.
As the buzzer sounded, the
noise of a boiler factory
broke loose as Donegal fans
erupted into joyous ecstasy.

® An Editorial
“In loco parentis” is
a Latin phrase which is
seen and heard more and more these days. It
means, “in place of parents.”
The idea expressed is that universities and
colleges assume a certain
responsibility of parent-
hood in guiding, directing, educating—and discip-
lining—of the boys and
girls who are enrolled.
Thereby, they replace, for a time in a certain way
the young people’s own parents.
Implied is a responsibility for housing, feed-
ing, health, morals, education and all the other
aspects of the total individual.
Such an attitude is much akin to the feeling
of “alma mater”, which is the tender and proud
connection between student and school. Alma ma-
ter literally means ‘foster mother.”
