‘Of This and That’
(Continued from Page 1)
But except for the un-
predictability of the
schedule, we somehow find
the overnight trip
pleasurable. It is always
interesting to watch the
fellow passengers, who in-
clude a wide cross-section of
modern-day humanity.
There were harassed young
mothers, traveling alone
with one or two small
children, trying to keep them
fed .and get them to sleep at
night. There were older
couples, going to visit
children or grandchildren,
finding their way regularly
to the diner and napping
frequently in between meals.
There were young people
with duffle bags and long
hair, others neatly dressed,
with conventional luggage.
There were occasional
businessmen, with attache
cases and newspapers.
Coming east from
Indianapolis this time, there
were two tour groups of
women who had attended a
week-long convention in the
Hoosier capitol city. They
were footsore and weary, but
still full of interminable
chatter and up-and-down-
the-aisle activity!
So — the trip is always
interesting. When one is
tired of watching the people,
there is always the ever-
changing panorama outside
the train window. From the
lush farmlands of Lancaster
County, the picture changes
to the river-level ride north
along the Susquehanna, to
the gorgeous mountain
scenery in western Penn-
sylvania, to the rolling hills
of Ohio, to the perfectly flat
farmlands of eastern and
central Indiana, with big
May 22, 1974
cities like Pittsburgh,
Columbus, Dayton and
Indianapolis thrown in for
good measure! With all the
beauty of nature, one sees
also the occasional and
lamentable desecration of
nature by man.
It is a tiring trip, and each
time at its close we tell
ourselves, ‘‘Never again!
Next time we’ll fly!”
But we never do. The trip
on the train has been made
by us so many times now
that it has become warp and
woof of our lives. So long as
an overnight train runs
between Lancaster and
Indianapolis, we’ll probably
take it!
A ‘‘company picnic!”’
We had never attended
one, but we were well
initiated into this kind of
activity on Saturday!
We were graciously sent
complimentary tickets by
the Hanover Brands Foods
company of Hanover, Pa.,
for its 50th anniversary
party for their employees.
It was held at the Farm
Show Arena in Harrisburg,
and was a gala occasion on a
gigantic scale!
Some 3,000 people at-
tended, and were well-
rewarded for their efforts.
The whole building had been
transformed into a country
atmosphere, complete with
six tons of hay, picket fences,
costumes, music, and tables
with red-checkered cloths
and red geraniums! There
were speeches by the
company president, Alan
Warehime, son of the
founder, and others.
There was an abundance
of food, from hot dogs and
sauerkraut to a giant buffet,
featuring fried chicken,
potato salad, cole slaw, chow
chow, pickles, assorted
breads, cup cakes, a huge
salad bar, and a number of
‘“‘ice cream parlors’ where
children (of all ages) could
make their own sundaes with
a wide variety of toppings!
There was a German
Band, a square dance troup,
and a 16-piece orchestra for
dancing. There were
balloons and favors for the
children, door prizes, bir-
thday gifts! There were
pretzels by the bucketsful
and peanuts in the -shell.
There was an abundance of
liquid refreshment!
And how the people loved
it! From the youngest to the
oldest, they seemed to be
having an absolute ‘“‘ball’’! It
was a day they will long
remember!

It was inevitable that
something like this would
happen this year.

At a time when a large
number of novice gardeners
are putting out vegetable
plots, a lot of things can go
wrong. But, who would have
thought that a pair of top
notch professional men with
college degrees, enough
between them to paper the
display wall of any den,
would be the ones for this.
a
In a partnership effort, the
two have launched their
gardening effort with en
thusiasm. One, in a store
early in the season, bought a
bag of onion sets. His friend,

seperately was given the

another store — ‘‘These
onion sets are going to be
scarce.”’ So, he also bought a
pound.

Then, by accident or by
some joker’s design, playing
on the pair’s lack of
knowledge of such matters,
some other similar bulbs
were mixed into the sacks of
onion sets.

Now, these two have a

That's not correct — nor
approximately correct. The
smallest class was in 1958,
when there were 74
graduating seniors. The next
year there were 95 and on
three occasions — 1957, 1962
and 1963 there were 101.

Pupils drew up a petition,
submitted it to the Student
Council, which in turn went
to the School Board.
Faculty Advisor Dennis
Iezzi and two members of the

the request. However, they
refrained carefully from
commenting upon the
subject of ‘‘smoking vs non-
smoking’ for any reasons.
