Music helps child grow by Morrell Shields Music In Our Schools Day is a national obser- vance sponsored by the Music Educators National Conference to focus public attention on the goals and processes of music educa- tion in the schools. What is the purpose of music in the schools of this community? Why do we teach music? Not because we expect every youngster to major in music; not because we ex- pect every youngster to play or sing professionally; not so every youngster can have a relaxing, fun exer- cise - but to help every youngster be more human, recognize beauty, be sensi- tive, be closer to an infinite beyond this world, have something to cling to, have more love, more compass- ion, more gentleness, more good, in short ------ more life. That’s why we teach music! Music In Our Schools Day will be observed throughout the nation on March 13th. . !

She gardens and has made each of her children a crocheted afghan. A member of Pennsyl- vania Farm Women’s Com- mittee and presently photo- grapher for Society No. 8, Mrs. Bixler finds time to assume church duties such as singing in the choir, serve as Moderator of the Dea- cons, and Secretary of the Women’s Association at Donegal Presbyterian Chur- ch and also is Key Chair- lady for the Schock Presby- terian Home. A 4-H leader for 22 years, Grace is also a member of the Christian Women’s As- sociation, where she serves as Name Tag Chairman. Society of Farm Women No. 8 was organized in No- vember, 1922, and is. one of 31 such groups in Lancas- ter County. Meetings are held the 3rd Saturday of each month at 2 p.m. with a planned agenda of devo- tions, salute, programs and a social hour. Programs are varied to in- clude activities such as tra- velogues, book reviews, cake baking, candy-making, cann- ing and freezer demonstra- tions, talks on organization, and how to improve the club. Members sew one day each year at Lancaster Gen- eral Hospital and treat the guests at Conestoga View to food and games. The purpose of the group is to contribute to the power and influence of farm wo- men, to contribute to the community of women, to develop leadership, and to promote better living condi- tions in Pennsylvania farm homes. The group sent items to veterans and food to veter- ans hospitals during World War 11, entertained the State Convention in 1929 at Eli- zabethtown College, erected a memorial to the Conoy Indians, and knit afghans for the Red Cross. Members enjoy trips to Valley Forge, DuPont’s Gar- dens, Winterthur, Pennsbury Manor, White Hall Industrial School, Roadside America, and additional pleasure ex- cursions. Funds are raised by con- ducting food sales at auc- tions and white elephant auctions within their meet- ings. Membership dues and bus trips are also sources of revenue. : Rob Longenecker is no ordinary young man. He is a self-taught juggler who not only juggles with four pieces of fruit, but eats it at the same time! He has jugg- led publicly as a part of the half-time activities at a Donegal High School foot- ball game last year. He also displayed his extraordinary talent in a parade in north- ern Pennsylvania. Rob is also a fire-eater. Demonstrating for the Bull- etin, he put a whole book of lit matches in his mouth and let them burn them- selves out in his closed mouth. Naturally enough, this 20-year old with such un- common abilities is interest- ed in the circus. Rob has written to the Ringling Bros. -Barnum and Bailey Circus and applied to clown school. He hopes to get a chance to take a year off from his other activities to get an inside view of the circus. His other activities in- clude studying nursing at . Lebanon Valley College. He has been interested in bio- logy since he was a student at Milton Hershey School. Rob juggling oranges SUSQUEHANNA BULLETIN — Page 3 Rob Longenecker, young man with uncommon abilities "Rob eating fire He attended the boys’school in Hershey for 11 years and was influenced by his bio- logy teacher, Mr. Ed Ruth, who also studied at Leban- on Valley College. The Bulletin asked Rob how he felt about entering an occu- pation dominated by wo- men. He said, “Being brought up in an all boys school, I'll enjoy working with women.” We should have known that anyone daring enough to “run away with the circus’ could not be hampered by such triviali- ties. In nursing, Rob would like to become an anesthe- tist. Before he entered Milton Hershey, Rob lived in Mount Joy. He is the son of L. W. and the late Mary Longe- necker. Rob now lives at Lebanon Valley College where his sister, Gloria is also a student. He often visits his sister and brother- in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Glen Weaver, and his grand- mother, Mrs. Estella Billow, all of Mount Joy. Pre-school immunization The elementary school nurses of the Donegal School District wish to remind the parents of pre-kindergarten- ers of recent legislation that may affect their children. A new law requiring im- munization against certain Communicable diseases for new school entrants will go into effect the first day of school in September 1975. The new law states that beginning in September 1975, no child will be al- lowed to enter school for the first time without a record of the required im- munizations. Exceptions are made under the law for those who cannot be im- munized for medical rea- sons, certified by a physi- cian, or whose parent or guardian objects in writing to the immunization on re- ligious grounds. Immunizations required for children entering school for the first time in Septem- ber 1975 are: Diphtheria - 3 doses of toxiod. Tetanus - 3 doses of toxiod. Polio - 3 doses of trival- ent oral vaccine. Measles - 1 dose of vac- cine or physician verified history of disease. German Measles (Rubella - 1 dose of vaccine. If your child has not had any immunizations or just some of the required ones, we suggest you contact your family doctor or one of the state health clinics immedi- ately so your child can be fully protected prior to the first day of school in Sep- tember 1975. If you have any ques- tions concerning this new immunization law contact the school nurse in the build- ing where your child will be attending.
