The sounds of the 60s dancedaround the Lakeside Skillet ban-quetroom duringthe DallasHigh
School Class of 1967 anniversaryclass reunion on June 23.
About 40 former classmatesfromas faraway asColoradoandas near asHarveys Lake gatheredto reminisce as a playlist of songsfrom the decade jammedthroughout the night.
Cory Jordan Ryan, of Rich-mond, Va. said her husband Jackcame up with the list and helpedcreatethenametags,eventhoughhe didnt graduate from Dallas.
Were keeping it low-key,Ryan said of the event.
Shesaidthe class usuallyholdsa reunioneveryfiveyears, butshevisitswith a few girlfriends everyyear or so to catch up.
I think we were a close class,the fact that we attract so manypeople, she said.
Though findingformer friendscan be difficult, Ryan said Face-
book has made reunion planningmuch easier over the years.
Though there are still a fewpeopleshecantfind onthe socialnetworking site, Ryan said shesglad many of the former Moun-taineers gather every so often.
High school is such a specialtime in your life that you dontwant to ever forget, she said.
Ryanwas ana cheerleader whoalso was on the track, basketball
and drill teams while in highschool. She retired from the ITdepartment at a utility companyin Virginia three years ago.
Its fun to remember and itsfun to see what careers peoplehave, whether theyve changed,she said. And now a lot of us areretiredso weretravelinga lot.Itsnice to see what people havedone.
Bob Kelley,who splitshis timebetween Stroudsburg and Geor-gia, is also recently retired,though hes been workingsinceayoung age.
My dad died when I was inninth grade so I had to work, hesaid. I worked at the merry-go-round (in Harveys Lake), at theForty Fort Dairy Bar and at Col-lege Misericordia as a dishwash-er.I hdto save money for50 centsa gallon of gas for my car.
The former director of alumniat East Stroudsburg Universitydoesnt have a favorite highschool memory or at least hecouldnt say what it was.
There was a group of guys I
did a lot of wild and crazy thingswith, he said. Lets leave it atthat.
Sharon Savage Templin, ofTunkhannock, remembersher fa-voritepart of highschool, but not
the specifics.I loved the plays, she said. I
was in Cheaper by the Dozenand another one. Im not surewho I played.
Some former classmates re-
membered evenless, but enjoyedcatching up.

The Lake-Lehman Junior/Se-nior High School Class of 1972may have faced plenty of hard-ships during its high schoolyears but one wouldnt be ableto tell from the demeanor of itsmembers.
A 40th anniversary class re-
union held June 23 at GrottoPizza on Harveys Lake wasabuzz with gabbing, jokes andplenty of laughter.
Were the flood class, saidHelen Sgarlat, of Forty Fort.
The group just happened tomeet on the 40th anniversary ofthe date when thousands ofWyoming Valley residents wereevacuated due to floodingcaused by Hurricane Agnes.
And the annual footballgame between Lake-Lehmanand Dallas was cancelled thatyear due to the weather, addedCindy Osborne Mohen, of St.Cloud, Fla. And the banddidnt go to Sherburne (Pageantof Bands) because the NewYork school system had a case
of meningitis. We were the kiss-of-death class.
The event was actually thesecond of two reunions Sgarlat
planned for the class. She saidshe wasnt sure how many class-mates would show she juststarted making phone calls andposting about the event on thesocial networking website Face-book to try to reach as manypeople as possible.
We havent all met in 15years, said Sgarlat. Our lastreunion was our 25th.
As members of the class slow-ly began to arrive, memoriesflooded the former studentsminds. Doris Parrish McGee, ofHarveys Lake, said the classwas a tight group as there were
only 133 graduates that year.I was the class nerd, she

Supervisors discussed con-tributing to the Dallas SchoolDistrict DARE (Drug Abuse Re-sistance Education) program ata work session Tuesday evening.
Supervisor Bill Grant said theprogram is scheduled to cost asmuch as last year, about $2,625.
The program is conducted byKingston Township Police Offi-cer Frank Ziegler, and four mu-nicipalities and the school dis-trict contribute to the program,which is taught to elementary
and middle school students.Dallas Township Police Chief
Robert Jolley said he didntagree with the costs. He said theDallas Township Police Depart-ment has services, like the K-9unit, that benefit the DallasSchool District, but no othermunicipalities contribute fundstowards those programs.
At the next Kingston Town-ship supervisors meeting,should I go down for dog food?he said. Where does this stop?
Atty. Ben Jones III, who wasat the meeting for an unrelatedissue and serves as solicitor forKingston Township, said the
money is used to pay Zieglerand for the special DARE-marked vehicle he uses for theprogram.
Jolley said Kingston Town-ship took over the DARE pro-gram when state funding wasavailable for it, and after thefunding was no longer available,
all municipalities in the dis-tricts boundaries were asked tocontribute.
Grant said Jolley had a point,and it was something to thinkabout.
The supervisors announcedambient sound testing was con-ducting by Vibra-Tech to deter-
mine a baseline sound level forthree different locations prior tothe installation of two meteringstations and pipeline construc-tion near Hildebrandt Road.
Grant said it was done at resi-dents requests. Sound levelswere tested at Fairground Road,the Evangelical Free Church onHildebrandt Road and at the siteof the Transco interstate pipe-line near those locations.
Sound levels were tested sixtimes during a 24-hour period inMay and levels were determinedto be in normal ranges. Grantsaid hes unsure what the conse-quences will be if natural gas
pipeline and metering stationactivities cause the sound levelsto increase.
Metering stations will be builtby Williams Field Services LLCand PVR Partners, formerlyChief Gathering LLC, to corre-spond with their pipeline pro-jects in the township. Parts ofthe Transco interstate pipeline,into which the aforementionedpipelines will connect, will bereplaced this summer.
Supervisors also announcedthat the state Department of En-vironmental Protection notified

Youngsters worked up a sweatduring the Lake-Lehman Ele-
mentary Physical Education
Camp at the Lake-Lehman Ju-
nior/Senior High School held
June18-22.
It was the second year that
middleschoolphysical education
teacher Jeff Hynick led the camp
with fellowgym teachers Krystal
Minor and Paul Venetz.
Elementary students in grades
kindergartenthroughthird grade
from all three district schools
were invited to participate in the
three-hourcamp eachday during
the week.
Students enjoyed activities like
volleyball, basketball, tossing
Frisbees, driving scooters, danc-ing to interactive video games
and others.
Hynick said the camp also in-
cludeda morestructuredactivity
period in which students could
learn more about different sports
to encourage them to participate
in athletics when they get older.
He said the goal of the camp is
to also promote the importance
of fitnessand stayinghealthy at a
young age.
If a child doesnt start loving
fitness when theyre young, it
gets tough (to live a healthy life-style) when theyre older, said
Hynick. These days kids are
stuck sitting by computers or
TVs, so its nice to get them mov-
ing for a few hours during the
day.
Two Lake-Lehman seniors also
helped out at the camp in con-
junction with their senior pro-
ject.
Robert Ide, 17, of Lehman
Township, has knownHynick for
a long timeand enjoysthe oppor-
tunity of helping young ones.
Sportshelp youdevelopsocial
skills, said Ide, a golfer. Espe-
cially in junior high, its tough
making friends but if youre in a
sport, you already have friendswhen you get to school.
Jeff Carter Jr., 16, of Lehman
Township, plays baseball and
golf. He tries to follow a healthy
lifestyle as much as he can, and
enjoys thechance to giveyounger
children advice about eating
right and exercise.
