Injured Mascot GetsAutographed Football
On behalf of the varsity football team, ASB President Jack
Lamp, last week, presented a white, signature covered football to
12 year old Donald Connell of 39 Marion Avenue, an ardent ad¬
mirer of PJC’s football team, who was seriously injured when
he was struck by an automobile in January.
When Lamp presented the ball to him at his home, Donnie
had planned to accept it with a speech of gratitude, but when
the moment finally arrived he was too happy to utter a word.
Donnie is still in bed as the result of the accident that occurred
near the PJC campus, but his parents say that he will be up
in a couple of weeks.
Bulldog’s Mascot
Lamp became acquainted with Donnie during last season’s
football practice, and they are the best of friends. On many
occasions when Lamp passed the Connell home, Donnie would run
out to meet him and ask how the football team was shaping up.
Plans to Attend PJC
Young Connell played end on his grammar school team and
is a great footbalJ enthusiast. As soon as he graduates from
junior high, he says that he wants to come to PJC and play end
on the Bullpup team.
Lamp has stated, “This tragedy to Donald Connell should
remind us that we must all be careful when driving our auto¬
mobiles around the campus.”
