Andrew Zuch couldn’t
wait for the regular 7 to 10
p.m. nightly tours of
‘‘Scream in the Dark’ at the
new Jaycee center off W.
Market St. and Waterford
Ave..Andrew went early.
He avoided paying the S0
cent donation charged on
regular tours, but met some
pretty weird characters
anyway.

Dr. Landis, Jim try to take Quebec
Dr. William B. Landis,
president of Donegal School
Board, and his son ‘James
have just returned from a 12
day march from Pittston,
Maine, to Quebec, Canada,
where they helped in the
re-enactment of the Ameri-
can siege of 1775 on the
British stronghold of Que-
bec.
Dr. Landis served as a
buck private in the expedi-
tion taking his orders from
the person playing the role
of Captain Hendricks.
He said that being a buck
private in the Continental
Army, after 20 years of
medical practice, was a new
experience for him. “1
learned a lot,”” he said,
including a lot of history.
Dr. Landis studied history
en route to Quebec and is
full of details about the
original unsuccessful -ex-
pedition lead by the later
infamous Benedict Arnold.
As the 700 Americans
moved north rumor spread
in Canada that the Ameri-
cans ‘‘intended to take
Quebec this time.’
As a result, lots of British
were on hand to greet the
Landises and their comrades
with artillery and rifles
when they got to Quebec.
The battle was spectacu-
lar. Jim, a fifer, left his
father, a rifleman, in the
ranks and went forward to
lead the charge.
After the battle, Jim went
about the battlefield admin-
istering last rites to the
fallen Americans, including
Captain Hendricks, who was
“killed” according to the
history script.
The “‘corpse’ of Hen-
dricks shook with laughter
as young Jim Landis said
final words over it.

Following guidelines of
the State Department of
Education, Donegal School
Board decided last Thursday
night to permit corporal
punishment in the schools
under strict conditions.
Parents may request in
writing that their children
not be punished physically.
Corporal punishment may
be administered ‘‘with dis-
cretion” by a professional
staff member, if there is a
witness.
If physical punishment is
used the punisher must file
a written report on the
punishment with his/her
immediate supervisor be-
fore the end of the school
day when the punishment
took place. Full particulars
must be given in the report
which must be signed by the
punisher and the witness.

If family moves, seniors may finish at D.H.S.
Donegal decided to con-
tinue its general policy of
not accepting students who
live outside the school
district but who would pay
tuition.
There are two exceptions
to the general policy:
Students who have at-
tended Donegal Schools for
120 or more school days in a
school year and whose
families move out of the
district, may finish the
school year without paying
tuition;
Also, students who have
finished their junior year in
high school and also have
attended Donegal Schools
for five or more consecutive
previous years, may attend
Donegal during their senior
year, if they pay tuition.
Pupils can be expelled for ‘detrimental’ acts
Students may be expelled
from Donegal Schools if they
willfully destroy property,
invade the rights of others,
engage in illegal acts, fight,
use or possess illegal drugs,
alcohol, or narcotics.
They may also be expelled
for any misconduct ‘‘de-
trimental to the health,
safety, and welfare of the
school community.”’
Conditions for expulsion
were defined last Thursday
night at the meeting of the
Donegal School Board.
