John W. Hart has a
beautiful boat down on the
bay.

What do you think it is
named?
+++
The Mount Joy, of course!

Which recalls that another
vessel by a similar name (Mount
Joy) is the reason Mount Joy
borough and Mount Joy township
bear the names they have.

And - incidentally - Mount Joy
should NEVER be abbreviated
to Mt. Joy.

It just is not correct. And, that
statement stands despite the fact
the newly-issued 1974 Penn-
syivania Official Transportation
map shows us as Mt. Joy.

Recently we received an an-
nual report - one of those im-
portant and impressive
publications which tells all about
the big corporations - from the
Maislin Transportation Corp.

Included was a huge map of
the Eastern U.S. and part of
Canada. What struck us was that
the big cities of the entire area
were shown on the map. But,
with those biggies was Mount

Maislin, as you may know, is
one of the giants in the trucking
industry (probably the biggest in
Canada). The local terminal,
which serves a huge area in this
part of busy southeastern
Pennsylvania, is a busy place on
Clover Leaf Road and Road 283.

Between 50 and 75 truck a day

MOUNT JOY'S ONLY NEWSPAPER
To Close Courts During Resurfacing
Donegal high school’s tennis courts are to be resurfaced
this summer and work is expected to begin this week.
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

graduate of Donegal high
school, was a sophomore

science.

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

Heisey.
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.

x List Senior Class Presidents of Donegal and Mount
It’s June and time for
senior classes to be
graduating!
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. Zeller; 1959 - Barry
Ronald Barnhart; 1960 -

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.

by Vera Eby Cox in 1954, the
