Mouse - Eye View Given
Of Moving To New View
Moving from the Lutheran
Education building to the new
Kissel Hill school, as seen by
a mouse, is the theme of a
fanciful story written by the
combined members of Mias
Jean Doll’s Fifth Grade class
at Kissel Hill, and then madle
into a play which the children
gave for their parents recent­ly.
The story is so entertain­ing
that the Record-Express is
pleased to publish it.
“The Visit of a Church Mouse”
One day while we were still
at the Lutheran Education
Building, our teacher opened
the closet door and saw a
mouse scampering over some
textbooks. She called for sev-enail
boys to help her find the
mouse. After cleaning the
closet thoroughly, the boys
could not find the mouse. How­ever,
we continued to find
chewed-up pieces of paper in
the closet. For several weeks
we didn’t see “head nor tail”
of her but we knew she was
there. Little did we realize
that this church mouse was be­coming
our friend.
When the 'announcement was
made by Mr. Jerry ¡Shupp, our
principal, that we were to pre­pare
to move to the ¡new Kis­sel
Hi'll School, the class be­came
very excited. In our ex­citement
t'o pack we complete­ly
forgot about our church
mouse, but the church mouse
didn’t forget about us. She
watched us pack from her
hiding place and felt very sad
chat we were moving. 'She

The Park Trustees in a> let­te

Tuesday night requested the
borough to take over ¡the maiiin-tehainee
¡of the stream — to
keep it clean and free from

The borough agreed' — but

Thiis decision caused pro amid

some in' favor of letting the

resulted in one of the veiny

history — three for banish­ing
¡the ducks: ¡two for lotting
