After the war he attend-
ed Franklin and Marshall
College, intending to go on
to law school.
Coached champion team
But during the summers
of 1948 and 1949 he took
a job as playground super-
visor and coached a midget
baseball team. Mr. Hall-
gren’s team went through
the season undefeated in
1949 and won the champ-
ionship. The experience of
working with these young.
athletes had been so absorb-
ing and satisfying, Hallgren
decided to take a teaching
job.
He went to Millersburg,
Pa., where he® taught social
studies and also was coach
of all the sports at the
school. He became a licen-
sed sports official for the
PIAA, and only recently
gave up officiating at sports
While at Millersburg he
(Continued from page I)
He even worked during his
lunch hours, sometimes
shoveling snow for some-
one, then hurrying back to
school. Saturdays and sum-
mers he worked on Henry
Heisey’s farm and delivered
ice.
Had to quit school
When he was in the ninth
grade he had to quit school
and go to work.
He got a job with Wallace
and Fisher’s tire store in
Lancaster, and before long
was expert in cutting
grooves in re-tread tires.
His employers were im-
pressed; it was only a couple
years before they made
young Pat manager of their
store in Columbia.
Meanwhile, World War II
had started and America
entered the war. Pat en-
listed, served overseas, and
was discharged as a sergeant
in December, 1945.
The Business and Profess-
ional Women’s Club of
Mount Joy is participating
in International Women’s
Year in Pennsylvania.
Governor Milton J. Shapp
launched International Wo-
men’s Year in Pennsylvania
with these words:
“The nation will pay tri-
bute to the major role wo-
men have played in the two
hundred years of Ainerican
history and the effort they
will continue to make to-
ward the economic growth,
political effectiveness, social
* progress and educational de-
ea Re Hallgren
also studied at Bucknell
University and earned a
master’s degree in school
administration and guidance.
In Millersburg he also
met and then married Mary
Elizabeth Daniels. They
have three children: Mary
Ann, Mrs. Stephen Mohr of
Bainbridge; Betsy, a student
at Michigan State University;
and Barbara, a student at
Donegal High School.
Returned to Donegal
In 1955 he returned to
his home town as guidance
counselor and history teach-
er at the new Donegal High
School.
In 1960 he became assist-
ant to the principal of the
high school, and then in
1961 was made principal of -
the Donegal High School
Annex, which has since be-
come Beahm Junior High
School.
In 1966 he was chosen as

Studied nights
The war over, he came
back to Marietta and took
a job as aircraft receiver
and checker at the Middle-
town Air Force Base. He
also continued his education
studying at nights with the
American School. He earn-
a high school diploma, then
went on to study account-
ing with La Salle Exten-
sion University, and leader-
ship training with Pennsyl-
vania State University Ex-
tension.
Another new interest was
developing. He was spend-
ing more and more time
with Lillie Fortune, a girl
from Bainbridge he had
known for 4 long time. In
1947 they were married.
They have one son, Patrick
Kenney, III.
Leader in Jaycees
As it turned out, a most
important part of Pat’s life
velopment of this Common-
wealth. . .I urge that both
men and women of Penn-
sylvania join together to do
all in their power with prac-
tical and constructive mea-
sures to make 1975 an out-
standing year for the ad-
vancement of the status of
women in Pennsylvania.”
Some areas of greatest
concern for women are:
equality in law; economic
rights; family responsibili-
ties; decision-making at all
political levels and access to
health care.
Mrs. Betty S. Brown,
Scranton, President of the
supervisory principal of the
Donegal School District, and
in 1970 became Superintend-
ant.
In this steady advance to
more and more executive
responsibility in the school
system, Mr. Hallgren has
moved further and further
away from satisfactions of
working directly with young
people that first attracted
him to education as a pro-
fession.
He spends his days meet-
ing with officials, reading
reports, filling out forms,
making broad decisions, and
signing his name to docu-
ments. Frequently, his only
direct contacts with stu-
dents occur when they get
into some kind of trouble,
not the happiest contact
between teacher and pupil.’
Job is to make
teaching easier
_In the rather small build-
Kenney
began now. He joined the
Marietta Jaycees, the first
black Jaycee. It was in the
Jaycees that Pat developed
his talents for leadership
and service. From the Jay-
cees he won awards for dis-
tinguished service. As Ex-
ternal Vice-President of the
Jaycees he got to know
lots of people all over south
central Pennsylvania.
After the Jaycees he join-
ed the Marietta Lions. He
became the first black presi-
dent of the Lions. The list
of other honors won by and
offices held by Pat Kenney
is too long to print.
In 1966 he took a posi-
tion with the State Human
Relations Commission, in
which he covered 39 coun-
ties, checking on alleged
cases of discrimination
against people because of
their ethnic or minority
background.

ing of the Washington
School, where his office now
is, there is one classroom of
kindergarten children. The
sight of those children as
he passes their door, and
the sounds of their voices
trickling into his office,
heartens Ragnar Hallgren,
reminding him in the midst
of his abstract administra-
tive tasks of the essential
nature of his business - the
teaching of children.
Those children at Wash-
ington School help him keep
in mind that his job is to
make the jobs of teachers
easier, to take care of all
the administrative detail ne-
cessary for the operation
of the school system, so
that the teachers can do
their best job of helping
the children of Donegal to

Philosophy of
human relations,
The outstanding local
leader in the battle against
discrimination, Pat Kenney
as a black man personally
knows what it feels like to
be snubbed and rejected.
But when it happened he
never let it get him down.
He did not feel hurt and
he did not hate the people
who did it. He just kept
on working and learning
and seeing how he could be
of service to other people.
