Three new te,achers joined the facultythis fall. Mrs. Mar,tha Lewis is teachingFrench and Fnglis'h, while Mr. JamesErb has beco,me a pa.rt of the IndustrialArts Detp,artment. Working in the areaof Learning Disabi l i t ies Education isMr. Timothy Myers.

recent,ly constructed high sahool addi-tion is a scuilpture designed by Mr.Stan Li,p,man.

The structure represents a mod-er,nized hourglass and symbolizes thepassing of time. As in an hourglass,grains of sand are symbolic of t'he manystuden,ts of Manheim TownshiP.

Weighing approximately 1200 poundsand con'structed of steel, the piece tookthree months to complete f'rom the timeof conception un,til it was placed on thepedestal. T,he sculrpture was donated bytrhe class of seventY-seven.

Mr.. Lipman's work includes ,thesculpture located in the center ofthe Park City mal'I. He is a'lsohonored as ,one of "Who's Who ArnongAmerican Artists."

new faces can be seen. One o,f theseseniors, Hugh Swanger come,s f,rom aprivate school in Massachusetts. Howdoe,s Township co,mpare to privateschools? "In terms of academic quality,the two are very similar," reveals Hugh.He fetrt his biggest adjustment will begetting used to a s,trict sohedule as op-posed to the college-'like atmosprhere ofhis private school.

The Junior C'lass adds twen'ty-onenames to its ,role. Among these is MarkLauriello, who feels that Township is atough area to move into. 'Tt's verycliquis'h," comments Mark.

During the past snJrruner, the vandalism 'problem in ,the ilVl,anhei,rnTow,nshirp Stroot-pistrict has gotten out of hand. Destruction of sohoolproperty has increased to a level at which some type -of. protection agantlnay fraie,to be i'ncorporated if the pr.obl'em does not s,ubside.-

All schools in the district have been plagued by these senseless ac-tirons. Nitnauor elementary s,chool windows have been destroyed by "targetshooters." The Middle Schriol weather station and trash co'mpactor \ileredamaged this ,summer. Even the new high school addition was vandalizedbefore it opened.

In the words of Distriot Superintendent Raymond L. Dunlap, "Mil-lions of dollars in school buildings and equipment without proper protec-tion can be pemy wise and pound foolish." Possibly Manhei'm Townshipwill have to- add- a pr.otection agent suoh as armed patrotrs, but such anaction wo,uld be unfbrtunate for it would shut the doors on the open at-mosphere of our campus. Additionally, toqnship's ,budge] is tight eno'ughwithbut having substantial expenditures for the purpose of repairing da,m-aged property or adding a fonm of grounds protection.-

If a security systom is needed to stop the wanton destruction to ourschool buildings, thon the action must be taken. But first, before moremoney needs to be spent for the protection- of sohool prorperty_, let's seewhat we, the students of Manheim Township, oan do. Granted itls onlya few who damage the facil,i,ties and the grounds so ttr'at they cannot be en-

Fyed by the r,est orf us. We must put these property destroyerrs down beforethey deface our schools.

walking t,hroug,ltthe n€w higttschoo,l I oould nothelp but recallthat early S€pte,mber day in1953 wrtren I firstarrived at Man-heim Townsh,ip asa teaohor.

At that time our high school,grades 7 through 12 was located inwhat today's students know ,as theformer Freshman Building. Studentenroll'ment in gpades 9 through 12had just passed the 50O mark. Con-strast this w,ith present enroll,ment of1700 plus.

But of more i'm-pontanc€ were thec,lass,room condi-tions; ,music class-es met across thestreet on the sec-ond floor 0f thefi.re ha,l,l, Mr.Robinson taugthtEnglis'h in thebasement, N214wa,s, ,an open bal-

cony w,hich was divided rby curtainsinto classrooms, the auditori'um wasusod for study hal'ls and the gy'mwas divided by a curtain so that boysand girls co'r.rld have gym at the sametime. Present staff me,mbers at thattime were Mr. Wenrich, Mr. tserk-heimer, Mr. Robinson, Mr. RiohardMil ler and Mr. Ehemann.

Today, after a new tbuilding i,r1957, an addition in 1,967 and final-ly our present construction we havethe finest physical faci,lities andequipment available to stmdents a,ny-where in our state.

This recent addition, ttre resulit ofseveral years of pl'anning and 20mon,th,s of construction, ,is not yetfinished with sh,ops, locker rooms,gymnasiums and t'he convocation csn-ter stil,l needing wo,rk. 'However, eachday shows progress and ,it is anticipa-ted that all construotion wirll be fin-ished early in Nove,mberr.

Good education requires three bas-ic ingredients; good facilities andequipment, a good staff dedicated toteaohing and students who want tolearn usin,g the facilities and staff todo so.

The first of ,these trh,ree has ,beenprovided for us by the Board o,fSohool Directors and taxpayers inManheim Townshi,p. The second andthird requirre the oooperation of allinvolved and is a challenge that stu-dents and staff must devote time,e,nergies and talents to during trheschool term.

ls there aDear Sal,

In these first weeks of sohool, a realproblem has developed for me. I have ateacher I just donlt get along with andcan',t seem to please. How can I wo'rkfor a better relationship with her?Should I speak with her directly or talkto my guidance counselor?

c.Dear C.,

Your problem seems to be a person-al,ity conflict. PerhapS !ou,t interests dif-fer from those of your teache'r and bothof you a,re concentrating on these dif-ferences. Try to emphasize those quali-ties which you bolh ,seem to s,hare. How-ever, your problem is pro,ba,bly not one-sided or unusual. You,r te,aoher shouldrealize you are a different person, andshould encourage you to be yoursel'f.Strive to do well in this class, eventhough it may ,no,t be you,r favorrite. En-thus,ias,m for the subject is a key to anyteac'her's approval. A different attitudecan do more than a talk. Only when t,heproblem ,be,comes severe should theguidance counselor's help be sottght.

Sal

Dear Sal,Do you think it's possible to ho,ld

down a part.time job while attendingschool wi,thout any nega'tive results? Isay ye{s, but my parents are str:onglyagainst i t .

J .

Dear J.,Acquiring and keeping any job can be

a rewarding expe,rience. It teaches busi-ness principles and res,ponsibilities. Anyparent should be proud o,f their So,Il ordaughter who can meet this challenge.However, the rresponsibilities lie notonly towards the employer. Jobs areti,me-co,nsuming and can interfere withschoo,l work. An employee can not bein good standing with poor grades.

Secondly, jobs might ali5'e c,onsumeneeded social t ime, which is a part ofhigh school life. Yes, ̂ ntatttre individualcan lead a normal high school life andkeep a job at the sam,e time if yolrrealize the responsibilities you mustmee,t towards your paren,ts, yourself,your school work, and your empJoyer.A young adult must make his waytowards independence sensibly, and apart-t ime job is an educational way tobecoming part of the adult world.

MT teacher travels to Japanby Leslie Shimock

Mrs. Stas of the Social Studies depar't-ment spent six weeks o,f her summereating raw fish for breakfast, walkingrr,p to fi,fteen m,iles a d,ay and ,learningeveryth,ing about the Japan'ese, all aspart of being in a gro,up that is devel-oping a cu,rriculu,m for the studv ofJaP'n,n.

Along with five o,ther high sshoolteachers, seven college professors andeight col,l'ege seniors, trhe Man,hei'mTown,ship teaoher spenrt most o,f hersum,mer living like 'a native Japanese.The group, which centered out ofBucknell Universi,ty, was partia,llyfunded by a grant from the U.S. De-partme'nt of Education and expects top,ublish a workbook for teacthin,g Japanin six months.

With much time devoted to see-ing what Jap11 is really like, the gro'uplistened to many lectures by specialists inall fields of Japanese cultu,re. Speakerstalked about such areas as industry, re-ligion, educa[ion, government a,nd wom-en's groups.

Commenting on her tour, Mrs.Stas says, "We totally covered it!"Traveling,to a,l,l four islands of the smalloountry, the group observed li,fe fromthe most modern Tokyo to ,t,he ruralfarms. Shrines, temples, ,festivals and theKabuki Theater wore other sights theAmericans visi,ted. Tours of industrialpl,ants and schools were also par,t ofthe stay.

Mrs. Stas descr.ibes the schools inJapan as being 'lharder ,than ours" andtrtr,at "they don't have all t,he nice fa-cilities." Japanese ohildr'en attend sc,hoolsix days a week and are rigorously dis-ciplined. With srn,prhas,is on math andscie,nce, Japanese schools are very com-petitive. Most do not go past junior highbecause it is so difficult to get in,to highschool.

American franohises like McDonald's,Mr. Donut and Kentucky Fried Chick-en could be found in Japan, but Mrs.Stas avoided trhe fast food restaurants.As a part of their trip, the curricuiumplanning group did not travel [i,ke thetypical American tourist. "We really liv-ed their cu,lture," stresses Mrs. Stas. Be-cause they could no,t take taxis, mucrhtime was spent in walking or takingpub,lic transportation with luggage beinghand-canried.

Cul,tural dishes included rice, noo-dles, oyster, squid and raw fish.Mrs. Stas r€marks, "I got to enjoy it."

One of the most outstanding thingsbhat the MT teacher noticed is that nextto 'an indus'rial, mode,rn building is manytimes an ancient shrine. Stre expl,ainsthat this i,s seen even in their thoughts

and way of rl,ife. The Japanes€ are veryup-to-date technically, yet they still be-Lieve that women are subservient to men.Many wives wal,k five pac€s behindtheir husbands.

Another note,worthy c,haracteristic c,fthe Japanese is that they are ,a proud,peop,le and will go to any extre,me toavoid failure. Japanese will tell you away to go, even when they do not kno,wwhere i't is they are bei,ng asked about.

Through her ex.periences tihis su,m,merr,Mrs. Stas came to be more appreciativeof another country wh,ile still aware ofher own culture's cpportunities.

Although a lot o,f ha,rd work was in-volved, Mrs. Stas highly recommendsgoing to J,apan to anyone who wouldever have a ohance. For hersel,f, she re-marks, "I'd like to go back."

When Robin found out through theEcology Club that a ,program that of-fered hard, outside work was acceptingapplications, she did not fresi,tate in try-ing. Th,e twen,ty-two girls and boys thatfinally get to be in the group are ran-domly selected by a computer, so Robi,nwas surprised that she was ohosen.

Operating ou,t of the Lama,r NationalFish Hatchery near Lock Haven, Penn-sylvania, the Co,rps spent their daysworking on crews around tthe hatchery.With an emphasis on oonservation, theyoung people from all over the statebuil,t rock wall,s around stre,ams, fedfish, cleaned brush, pioked rocksand helped the men from the fishhatchery. Robin's main projeot waspouring and lay,ing the oemernt raceway

fo'r the fish.To add to their growing knowledge,

the grou,p rhad two days a week set asidefor special things, including a lectureabout rattlesnakes, fil,ms and work in thePenn State research laboratories.

The ti,me was not spent all in work,however. Night aotivity included mov-ies, bowl,ing and skating. The Corps alsorafted down the Pine Creek and back-.packed twenty-six miles in three days.making their own campsites and food.

Besides learning about conservatio'nand safety, each member received fourhundred doilars for the eight weeks ofwork.

Next sum,mer, Robin plans 'to returnas a youth leader. Strongly recommend-ing the program to anyone interested,she says that her stay "was really a goodexper,ience." About any future plans shehas in the field, Robin comments thatthe program encouraged her to go intoenviron'rnentarl stud,ies after oolloge.

The 1977 Manhei,m Torvnshi,p varsityfootball team vaulted its first h,urdle ,inits quest for a second straig;trt SectionOne crown in the Lancaster.ileibanonLeague Saturday as it srushed Lancas-ter Catholic 28-0. kd by a flawless de-fense and a bal;anced offense, the Streaksshut out the Crusaders in, the ,firstleague contest for .both tea,ms._ The offsense, sparked by Seniors JodyBrown, Glenn Gallagher and DaveLoose, com,b,ined for 95 yards r,ushingand 178 yards ,passing. The game wasplayed before 3,500 fans here Saturd.ay.

Altthough McCaskey is favored to winSection One of the l-ancaster-I-erbanonI-e.ague, the Sheaks and the Crusadersare also considered '.teams ,to ,beat" bytrhe local newqpapers.

The fast start by the Streaks hasg.!u*d Coach Eugene Kruis, who said,'1Cons'ide,ring

ou,r inexperience, we'rrepleased that we're 3-0.', Acoording toCoach Kruis, "This year's squad h-as agood attitude and has worked ha,rd.',

The hard work paid of,f Fr,iday theninth as the Blue Streaks w,tripped Man_heim Central behind the sl.ong run_ning of Senior tail;back Jody ,BrownBrown scored three touchdowni and re-,tur,ned a punt 54 yards, setting up thefirst touchdown. Senior Tom Got6 alsothad a hand in a touchdown for Town_shi,p, blocking a Central punt and re_oovening it at the CEntral trtrree yard,line. Still, Township's tough ti,me on of-fe,nse in the first hal,f tr;u,bled CoadtlKruis, who said "The second half wasgood but we didnit play well ,the firsthalf." Sophomore Rob pontius alsoscored for Man,heim Townstrip.

Passing dominated the Streaks, lg77opener at York Surburban.

Glenn Gallagheragain provided the scoring punch, co,m-bining with Junior Greg Vondenheidefor the scor€. Although the BlueStrealas' passing was successful, the run-ning game ran into rlrroblems, nettingonly 56 yards for trhe game.

Township's steady imprwement overthe young '77 season prom,pted CoaohKruis to commsnt, "f,f w€ continue toimprovo we could win a lot of footba,llgames this year." Tomorrow's g:unewith lebanon should prove to an.swer Coach Kruis' "if".

Stneakette field hockey players ar€ op-timistic about this 1977 fall season. Un-der the direction orf coaches BrendaClank and Suzanne Smi'th. the team is

aiming for an increase ,in jts scoringdrive by the adoption of a new systemof play. This method, featuring ,four at-taok players and two versatile "l,inks",was put to the test in non-league scrim-mages against Donegal and L,,e,b,anon.Commenting on the setbacks, Varsityc,aptain Wendy Stewa'rt explained,o'We've got a young team not used toworking with eash other yet. Donegaland I-ebanon gave us the oppontunityto work the kinks out of our game andput a little more experienpe unde'r ourkilts." The girls proved ttrat the scrim-mag€s were holpful when they defeatedLamrpeter-Strasburg in the first leaguegame of the season. But Hempfieldfound the rough spots in Township'sline-up and downed the Streakettes 3-0.Against Solanco, M.T.'s girls sufferedanother loss l-0.

New season agrees with gidsThis fallr, the girls' tennis team is on

a winning streak. Everyone has bene-fited from the season change, along withbetter weather the girls have eight courtsfor practice.

Township rallied Manheim Centr,al,Conestoga Val,ley, Blco, Donegal andCocalico off the corurts.
