As things stack- up now,
the greatest potential for the

the keystone around which

Athletic Assn. to Meet
There will be a meeting
of the Mount Joy Athletic
Association on Tuesday,
September 9, at the Mount

Primary purpose of the
meeting will be to introduce
by-laws and to begin a
membership drive.
Where his office will be
located is not presently
known, but attention to that
detail will come shortly.
It may be in Mount Joy, it
may be in Marietta, it
might be in Maytown, or it
may be located somewhere
between.
‘Of This and That’
Have. you taken an objec-
tive look at Mount Joy late-
ly? We don’t mean just the
part of town where you live,
but the town as a whole.
Have you driven around
to see the building that’s go-
ing on, the improvements
that are being made, the
look of beauty and tidiness
that is everywhere?
If you have, it no doubt
made you proud of our sec-
tion of Lancaster County in
general, and of Mount Joy
in particular!
A little “tour” of the bor-
ough Tuesday evening before
dark brought many things to
our attention:
We saw at least 12 houses
under construction or just
finished and ready for occu-
pancy. They are nice homes : -

or stone and frame. In addi-

Helps to Open
‘Miss America
A local boy helped usher
in the famed Miss America
pageant in Atlantic City
when he marched as a mem-
ber of the Milton Hershey
School Drill Team and Var-
sity Band, and participated
in the gala boardwalk par-
ade which began the week-
long festivities on Tuesday,
Sept. 2.
He is Robert Longenecker,
son.of Lineaus W. Longenec-
ker, Manheim R4. Robert, 14,
is a freshman at the private-
ly-endowed boys school in
Hershey. This is his first
year as a member of the var-
sity band.
The 56 members of the
drill team and the 93 boys
in the varsity band traveled
by school transportation,
leaving Hershey Tuesday
morning, spending the day
in Atlantic City, and return-
ing after the parade. They
were accompanied by Gerald
Long. drill team instructor,
and Ray B. Miller and Wil-
liam Grove, band directors.
The Milton Hershey Band

With Sutter in the back-
field are three other latter
winners from last season.
when the Tribe won six and
dropped only four.
They are Butch McCurdy
at a halfback slot and Den.
nis Hay and Ken Piersol at
fullback spots.
However, none of the four
veterans, even in high school
football, are big men, but,
if given the chance, can lay
a lot of speed end to end.
All are seniors but they av-
erage out just under 153 lbs.
How these backfielders use
their speed may depend con-
siderably upon what kind
of line develops for their
protection.
Brooks has only five men
around which to form the
wall—Scott and Penwell
and George Williams at tac-
kle, and Dave Rouser and
Andy Keller at guards.
Thus, new material will be
battling for some important
slots along the line.
Here, again, the veterans
are not big boys for the tra- -
ditienal beef department.
The lettermen average 163,
but all are Seniors except
Keller, who is a junior.
The center will come from
a senior pool including Mike
Sweigert, Warren Stehman
and Jim Smith, averaging
153 pounds.
Others in the “varsity”
string who will be making
bids for recognition and
game time include:
Linemen — Scott Lowery.
Mike Wolfe, Jim Forry, Har-
rison Nauman, Scott Madara,
Eric Olson, Mike Brace.
Mike Miller and Gary Mohr.
_Backfield — Doug Estock,
Mark Gainer, Ken Geesey,
Duane Risberg, Mark Troup
and Tom Derr.

The ladies auxiliary of the
