When work begins, the courts will be closed to the public until at least August 1. Even after the final surface is laid, a ‘curing time” is needed to give the surface the desired finish. PONDER RECOGNITION METHOD School Board To Honor Late Clarence Schock - How to recognize the late Clarence Schock as -the provider of a large share of the finances needed to build a new running track at Donegal is being considered. Schock, operating through the Joy company, which originally owned the Park avenue addition to the borough, has made available to the schools a sum of more than $30,000. However, that amount has been invested at a good in- terst rate and now stands nearer $50,000. That fund has been ear- marked by the board for use on the running track project. Whether to name the field for Schock, to erect a plaque in his memory, or what is the question under con- sideration. The rough grading for the track - located just north of the present football field - has been completed and work toward applying the final surface is expected to begin shortly. Bids for fencing to enclose the area have been advertised and are to be opened early next month. Coin Shortage May Aid In School Milk Hike Shortage of pennies, plus anticipated rising costs of milk, may escalate the price of carton milk at Donegal high school next fall. At its June meeting on Thursday, June 20, Donegal School Board authorized upping milk prices, at coin- operated machines, from 10 to 15 cents, if necessary. Milk which is now a dime, is expected to move-up to 12 cents. But because of the penny shortage, it was felt that it would be more satisfactory to skirt the coin problem and change the coin machines to operate on one dime and one nickel. The change will be made, when and if, the milk price does increase. Cost of changing the coin slots and mechanism is estimated at $125. ON DEAN'S LIST Mary Jane Heisey, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. Wilmer Heisey, R1, Box 252 Mount Joy has been named to the Messiah college dean’s list for the spring semester. To attain this honor, it is necessary to have a grade point average of 3.3 out of a possible 4.0. Miss Heisey, a 1972 graduate of Donegal high school, was a sophomore majoring in behavioral science. MOUNT JOY, PENNA. JUNE 26, 1974 TEN CENTS DONEGAL APPROVES RECORD BUDGET FOR YEAR "74-75 REAL ESTATE LEVY SET AT SIX MILLS ABOVE THIS YEAR Without change of any kind from its tentative proposals, Donegal School District has approved a record budget of $3,811, 521 for fiscal year 1974-75. Action was taken Thursday night, June 20, as the School Board held its monthly meeting in Donegal high school library. To meet the locally-raised portion of that budget, the following levies were authorized: - Real estate tax of 75 mills; - Per capita tax of $10; - Earned income tax of 1 percent (VY; percent shared with local municipalities - Mount Joy and Marietta boroughs, Mount Joy township and East Donegal township.), and, - Real estate transfer tax of 1 percent. The 75 mill real estate tax is a six mill jump above the 1973-74 budget levy. Anticipated expenses of the district next year will be nearly a half million dollars above this year. In other matters: - William A. Earhart, junior high school social studies teacher, was granted sabbatical leave next year $650 Storage Bill Paid And Old Cruiser Junker One of the borough’s controversial problems during the past few years has been cleared up and apparently the episode is ended. Back in 1962 Mount Joy bought a new police cruiser and traded in a 1959 Plymouth to Norman NO BULLETIN NEXT WEEK As has been the custom for many years, The Mount Joy Bulletin will not be published the week of the Fourth of July.

That car has been parked from ‘62 until this past week on an East Main Street used car lot. So long had it been sitting that trees and bushes were growing up around its fenders. When the car was pointed to as an eyesore - as it was many times - the matter of official title to the vehicle was raised. “Who had the title. Where is it.”’ ‘‘Has it been lost?’”’ And, other questions were part of the problem. At the June meeting of Borough Council, it was voted that Heisey be paid $650 for ‘‘storing’’ the car for these several years and reclaim ownership. Early last week, the borough sent a wrecker to the site and towed the machine away. It finally found its way to a salvage company. for study and travel. He is the fifth Donegal teacher to be granted sabbatical leave for next year. - School board meetings next year will begin at 8 p.m. instead of 7:30 p.m. - More than 955 ap- plications have been made to the district by people seeking about a dozen teaching vacancies anticipated in the system next fall. There were 610 for elementary positions, alone. - Donegal high school has received accreditation from the Middle States association for a period until Dec. 31, 1984. An inspection was made earlier this year. - Twenty point eight percent of Beahm junior high school students and 17.6 percent of D.H.S. students were listed on the final (Continued on Page 8) C.

One of the VIP in any class is the president, who is not only the head of the graduates in any particular year but becomes something of the permanent figurehead after commencement — even in years to come. The 1974 Donegal high school class president was Ricky Warren Hilt. But, who were the others? Taken from com- mencement programs of Donegal, beginning with the first, they are: : 1955 - John Hiestand; 1956 - George McKain; 1957 - Ronnie Jean Reese; 1958 - Gary L.

Gilchrist; 1970 - Craig Alan Gainer, 1971 - Scott Andrew Madara; 1972 - Mark Dwight Gainer; 1973 - Larry L. Gillham, and 1974 - Ricky Warren Hilt. Without question, these 20 presidents constitute: a group of “‘achievers’’, young people who have been moving ahead since they left high school. A look even farther back- ward, into Mount Joy high school’s annals, reveals still another list of community names - also people who have retained aspects of leadership. Taken from a publication by Vera Eby Cox in 1954, the following were class presidents: high school classes were small and there was no formal organization) : 1900 - Clarence Reist 1901 and 1902 - no presidents; 1903 - Edgar Hanacher; 1904 - Warren Hoffman; 1905 - Charles Cassell; 1906 - Ray Engle; 1907 - Eva Kreider Greiner; 1908 - Hilda Earn- shaw Patton; 1909 - Gertrude Greenawalt; 1910 - John Bowman; 1911 - Alvin Shonk; 1912 - Elmer Blocher; 1913 - C.J.
