LITITZ — Classic and antique cars in tip top condi­tion
were paraded majestically through town on
Saturday.
Old cars, sure. But they have nothing on the longevity
of Linden Hall School for Girls,
The parade commemorated the 250th anniversary of
the historic school, and, much like those vintage vehicles,
Linden Hall continues to look and operate like a sho­wroom
model ready for the road.
But, much like the Ferrari in the parade, Linden Hall is
ready to hit the road at top speeds.
About 500 people lined the streets of Lititz for the
parade of cars, horse-drawiyparriages, music, and even
an appearance by a candy-tossing Gen. John Sutter. The
crowd then gathered on the lawn at Moravian Church
Square for the Proclamation Ceremony.
Roger Martin, president of Moravian College,
addressed the gathering by adapting a Mario Andretti
quote, “If you are in control, you are not driving fast
enough,” to the all-girls school.
“Keep driving fast, Linden Hall, we’re all cheering for
you,” he said.
Martin said any institution that can survive over three
centuries “shows fortitude and dedication, especially
considering the changes in education over the past two
decades.”
NASA astronaut candidate Susan Leigh Still, guest
speaker at the historic event, contrasted some of the
amazing technology she uses on a daily basis, with what
life was like in the 1700s.
“Today we have computers, high-tech medical equip­ment,
we have supersonic jets,” Still said. “But 250 years
ago, when houses had no electricity, and it took months
just to cross an ocean, someone recognized the impor­tance
of educating women. And Linden Hall was
founded.”
It was a time when most women were denied an educa­tion,
she said.
When Still was 14, she decided that she wanted to
become a pilot. “All of the women in my life were nurses,
teachers, housewives,” she said. Although she feared
what her father might say when he learned of her dream,
“He said, T think that’s great.’
“If it wasn’t for that, I would have never gone out,” she
said. “He even paid for my flying lessons when I was in
high scW - ’ ”

frozen Good Humor treats on
Lititz streets, even had Borough
Council msobrag to juvenile phrases
like “that would be neat.”
With the enthusiastic backing of
the council, Mayor Russell Petty­john
agreed to sign a solicitation per­mit
for a local automobile restoration
buT te operate the small motorized
cart m the borough this summer.
Liuu residents can look forward
to Howdy Doody Fudge Bars, ice
cream sandwiches and astropops
during the steamy months of verano.
Phi! Mearig, who will be at the
controls of the mobile freezer in an
cTicial while Good . lumor uniform,
said his only motivation for the pro­ject
is “fun.”
(See Lititz. Page 20)
Place closed on Feb. 20, after 24
years in Kissel Hill.
Within just 2'A months, major
renovations transformed the interior
atmosphere for casual dining. Now
the former Your Place restaurant
looks more like a history museum,
complete with a bar and full menu.
“The location is excellent for this
type of casual restaurant,” said San­dy,
explaimrg that there really isn’t
anything like it in tire area.
Sandy played the role of “overac­tive
imagination” for this project,
and her fascination with the Ameri­can
epic set the theme for Scooter’s
Great Events.
The wails are strewn with framed
photographs, newpapers, posters,
and quotations from historic figures
that shaped the United States of
America.
It’s like eating in the Smithsonian.
Depending on where you sit, you
could be eating chicken quesadillas
on the set of “The Kid” with Charlie
Chaplin. In another comer of the
room, you’re cutting your steak
while the Wright Brothers take to the
air in Kitty Hawk. Sports fans can
watch a ball game at the bar with Lou
Gehrig, and young Republicans can
twirl their pasta beneath the 1974
headline “Nixon Resigns.”
“I like to see what I can create with
a building,” Sandy said. “The fun
thing for me is thinking of the ideas,
hunting photos, creating the menu.”
A definite highlight for the sweet
tooth is the original desserts featured
at Scooter’s, made by Terese Zale-ski
of Lititz.
The real challenge in sprucing up
this 140-seat eatery was brightening
up the dark, cave-like feeling of the
former restaurant. But three coats of
cherry stain, ceiling fan lights, and
lots of brass seem to have done the
trick.
Sandy, a former nurse, has played
a significant role in revitalizing many

MILLPORT — It was art that
first brought Lori Stahl and Suk
Shuglie together.
And now the photographer and
painter have combined their artistic
styles for the first time at a special
exhibit at the Millport Conservancy.
Millport Museum, 737 E. Mill-port
Road, is featuring both artists in
an, exhibit entitled “Expressions/
Impressions” which will run May
3-27. The event begins with a grand
opening show this Friday from 6-9
p.m., which will feature music by
local harpist Rebecca Kauffman.
After working for a commercial
photographer in Lancaster, Stahl
struck out on her own seven years
ago with four others and opened her
own commercial photography studio
at 601 Becker Road in Warwick
Township. The independence-enabled
her to pursue all avenues of
her passion for photography.
Her exhibit features some of her
finest black-and-white photography
from 1991-95.
She said working as a commercial
photographer has given her the tech­nical
training that has developed into
many of the prints on display at
Millport.
Stahl said the exhibit, cultivated
from “years and years of negatives,”
explores her growth and develop­ment
as an artist over the years.
She does not specialize in any one
subject matter, but all of her works in
this exhibit demonstrate a careful
study of each subject, whether it’s a
river bed, a still-life, or a dancer.
“I adore working with people, and
I adore working with nature,” she
said.Many of her photos lake on a new
