It is beautiful; it is blessed with countless good things; and it is close to al- most everything—New York City, the shore, Philadelphia, Washington, the mountains, to name just a few. Alco, it is blessed with an abundant fare of cultural ac- tivities to suit the widely varied tastes of its more than 300,000 people. In any seven days, one can have his choice of hundreds of fine church programs, musical plays, dramas, classical or folk concerts, lectures, craft classes, sports events, mus- eum tours, etec., etc., ad infin itum. For instance, this past week we attended a concert at Thompson Gym on the Eli- zabethtown College campus, given by the United States Air Force Band. It was tremendous! The fine looking grdup of young men played beautiful marches, symphonic numbers and folk tunes. Thenfi in the second half of the program, about 20 handsome ‘Singing Sergeants’ sang “An Air Force Panor- ama.” in observance of the 95th anniversary year of the United States Air Force. The narration for this medley of tunes had been written by Arthur Godfrey. A large and very respon- sive audience of townspeople, students, teachers, and area high school band members gave the Band a warm recep- by the editor's wife tion. It was a most enjoyable evening. ® ® LJ Yet another, and different experience was attending the program given recently by the Elizabethtown College Concert Choir and the newly- formed Elizabethtown College Community symphony orch- estra. Each group sang or played a few selections alone, and then they joined forces to present Beethoven's “Mass in C. The latter was an ambiti- ous undertaking, but done so beautifully and so profession- ally that it brought tears to our eyes. It was a superb blending of many instruments with the clear, lovely, train- ed. disciplined voices of the choir in an unforgettable per- formance. Otis Kitchen and Harry L. Simmers, professors at the college, were conductors of the orchestra and the choir, respectively, and are to be complimented highly on the beautiful evening of music. * * * Have you been out in the country at night lately? We don’t mean just driving through the country in a car. We mean really OUT. You would expect it to be quiet and peaceful, wouldn't you? Yes, that's the way it seems it should be. But not so!

Ninety strong, plus 10 chaperones, the young music- ians left D.H.S. at 6 a. m. on Friday , April 28. The group toured Williams- burg, Va., from noon until 6 p.m. and spent the night at the Hilton Inn at Virginia Beach, Va. The next day the band par- ticipated in the Festival par- ade, competing with five or six other bands in the same category for honors in music- ianship, marching, appearance etc. However, early this week, the school had not been noti- fied as to whether or not there had been any honors awarded to Donegal. Following the parade, the local group toured the Nor- folk Naval Base and then boarded its busses, arriving back home at 12:30 a.m. Sun- day. News services carried a weekend story about a distur- bance along the line of march. Donegal personnel, howev- er, were in no way involved. Director Leib said that his group passed the spot where the incident occurred several minutes ahead of the time the trouble occurred. 2 runner up.

Vandalism Puts End To Schock Cottage Vandalism finally has done its thing and the Clarence Schock summer home at Gov ernor Dick is to be finally de molished. Approved last week by the Donegal school board, which has responsibility for the property, action was taken to allow the final demolition of the structure. A part of Governor Dick not seen by most people, the summer house, nevertheiess. has been cruelly vandalized over the years—as have all the buildings on the property —and has fallen into a sad state of disrepair. Called the tower— cottage building, the actual supervis- ion of removal will fall into the hands of the SICO Foun- dation. Commencement Speakers Named Four principal speakers far the 1972 Donegal high school commencement, to be held Tuesday, June 6, have been named.
