Aton Lie 1 :
River inlet provided stu-
dents with the opportunity
to observe and collect
specimens of sponge, oyster
drills, seaweed, barnacles,
starfish, sea anemones, sea
urchins and varieties of
crabs.
The highlight of the field
trip was the opportunity to
travel by boat to the bay and
practice using scientific
equipment to analyze the
ocean water for salinity and
clarity, explore the contents
of the bay and bay bottom
and check the direction and
speed of the bay current.
A special thanks goes to
Mr. and Mrs. Elwood Buck-

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.

prices moved to $3.50.
Any money left will be used
for flowers for an ill player
or kept to contribute to next
year’s banquet.
During the evening, it
was announced that Rory
Gallager was named to
Defensive All-Star team as

Col. 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.

possession, second only to
life, is freedom.”
