Kathleen Jones Behind the Scenes by Melody Mumma Meet musician, dancer, artist-all wrapped into one small package—Miss Kath- leen Jones. A fine-arts enthusiast, Kathy has parti- cipated in a variety of activities related to the creative and performing arts. Throughout all four years in high school, she has been a member of the band and chorus. During her junior year she was selected to participate in the Lancaster County Chorus Festival. She is presently a member of the Rhythm Singers, a twelve- member song-and-dance group. For the past two sum- mers, Kathy has participat- ed in the Summer Theatre Workshop which is held at the high school. She has recently been studing tap dancing, and it's not un- common to hear her practic- ing during spare moments, which are few. A dancer for both Brigadoon and Came- lot, she is an experienced performer, as illustrated by her excellent rendition of a song-and-dance routine in the 1975 Junior Miss Pag- eant. She keeps her schedule busy with Spanish Club, Dramatics Club, and Boos- ter Club, of which she is secretary. She is also a familiar face behind the counter at the Donut Hole, an orange juice and dough- nut sale sponsored by the Booster Club. In addition, she is an associate editor for the 1976 Emerald. Kathy's tentative plans for the future are to attend Millersville State College as a studio art major, with a minor in art history. What- ever career she pursues, however, her talent is sure to make her successful.

Benjamin Purcell at DHS A member of the Army War College Faculty at Carlisle Barracks, Colonel Benjamin H. Purcell, ap- peared at Donegal High School on Tuesday, Novem- ber 295. ~ Col. Purcell was held a Prisoner Of War in North Vietnam for over five years, of which fifty-six months were spent in solitary confinement. He was taken prisoner on February 8, 1968 following a helicopter crash in Quang Tri Province in South Vietnam. At the time of his capture, he was Deputy Commander of the Danang Subarea Command and the executive officer of the 80th General Support Group in Vietnam. In spite of the severe punishment he knew he would receive if recaptured, Purcell made two attempts to escape from imprison- ment, one of which was nearly successful. During his months spent in solitary confinement, he invented creative mind-games and fashioned crude objects to keep himself alert and rational. He was planning a third escape when it was announced that POWS would be released. Purcell is noted for staunch adherence to his principles and ingenious- ness in devising ruses for escapes. He has been entertained at the White House and at the homes of various other dignitaries. ‘“Man’s most precious possession, second only to life, is freedom.” Hoagie sale helps pay for trip by Donna Germer The sixth grade classes sold hoagies for delivery on Saturday, November 22.
