Greetings From the Sea and Sand Vacationland - Sea Isle City... Finally I can let the secret out — St. Joseph's PTA hosted a dinner last night at the Whitebrier for Sister Joellen Marie. Charlotte Sharkey. PTA pres., swore me to secrecy since they wanted the dinner to be a surprise; As we went to press, they had close to 100 reservations — an impressive number without publicity. Sister Joellen will be stationed at Merion Mercy Academy next year. Sister, you made a very favorable impression on St. Joseph's and you will be sorely missed. I know there will be a lot of tears shed in our house (my wife is her secretary). The new principal will be Sister Mary Ann Clarahan, whom I'm sure you will all recognize. She is the little nun with red hair, who plays the guitar lefthanded. Sister Mary Ann is as sweet as she looks. ST. JOE'S annual spring show will be held Tuesday. June 10. After "St. Joe's Goes To The Movies" and "St. Joe's Visits Broadway." the theme this year is "Born in the U.S.A." Producer/directors Kegina Alulis and Jeannie Gibson have another fun-filled evening in store for you. There will be singing, dancing, comedy and even Trivia on America, with prizes for correct answers. Take it from the script writer, you'll love it! Sea Isle Public School practically emptied out last Thursday. Grades

I,2,3,4 and 6 went on trip to Franklin Institute. Grade 5 had gone on a VFWsponsored trip there earlier. Field Day Events (track and field) are scheduled for kindergarten through seventh grade June 10 and II. The School Awards Day will be June 5 at 2 p.m. and all are invited. CONGRATULATIONS to Maggie Quinn, daughter of City Solicitor Dennis Quinn and his lovely wife, Peggy. Maggie was awarded an academic/athletic scholarship to Lehigh University. Nice work, Maggie. Don McDermott reports beach tag sales are way up over last year. In fact, he has collected more than 50 percent of total sales for last year already. Looks like a big summer! The Planning Board and Mayor's Advisory Board have each sent letters to Commissioners urging an ordinance restricting further construction to one and two-family units. Both groups are alarmed by the State DEP warnings on limited water supply and excessive sewage. COMMISSIONERS' meeting in Townsends Inlet turned out to be a lively session. Residents of 82nd Street were erUhusiastic about getting thlir beach back from the sail-boaters, who were somewhat less than enthusiastic about moving to 22nd Street Beach. Some of the Beachfront property owners were a bit upset with the new dune

fence that limits their access to the beach. However, all acted with decorum. The Catamaran and Beachfront Property owners maintained their dignity, stating their cases in a forceful, intelligent manner. I'm quite sure they gained the respect of the opposition, if not the support. HANDS ACROSS Sea Isle May 25 was a limited success. Bill McGill did a lot of hard work organizing and staging it. In the center of town the Promenade was mobbed. Jean Rey did her usual fine job leading the singing. Sea Isle lifeguard tests next Saturday at 44th Street. Let's go, all you guys and gals! Wonder if there is an age limit? Probably a weight limit, though! I DID NOT see any mention in either daily or weekly papers of Memorial Day ceremonies in Sea Isle, which were very well organized. Jim English, Boy Scout Leader, was MC. Msgr. Paul O'Connor, Rev. Henry Ireland and Dr. Richard Nichols presided over the recitation of Invocation and Benediction. Commanders of VFW and American Legion units read the names of deceased vets. Jean Rey sang the National Anthem and God Bless Americo and Boy Scouts presented wreaths. But the highlight of the day was a speech by Mayor Mike McHale. He drew an analogy between the sinking of die Titanic and the troubles besetting our "Ship of State" today. McHale cautioned of the battering of "small icebergs" like substance abuse, child abuse and other calamities tearing apart, family structure. His speech was most profound and inspirational and it's a shame there was not a larger audience. Newsletters are off the press and in the mail. Hope | everyone receives theirs \ soon.
