WHS Graduation Speakers Announced BY ANN MEAD ASH
hen Warwick High School (WHS) administrators, faculty members, and students and their family members gather at Calvary Church, 1051 Landis Valley Road, Lancaster, on Monday, June 6, at 6:30 p.m., to graduate the 331 members of the Class of 2022, five of those students will be prepared to present speeches. Class president Theo Lance, son of Wendy and Jay Lance of Lititz, is basing his talk on his own love of making movies. “I thought if I made a movie about our class what scenes I would include,” said Lance, who mentioned the first day of school with a drone shot of students getting out of cars to open the film, followed by students cheering at a football game. Lance noted the sadness of freshman year when several students died and the arrival of the pandemic their sophomore year. “It would end with all of us getting our diplomas and our hats flying into the air,” he said.

the fall, Lance plans to attend the Florence, Italy, campus of Marist College to study digital media. Kendall Eby, daughter of Margot Kusienski of Lititz and Jeff Eby of Lititz, called her speech “Life Is Like a Box of Chocolates.” “I felt that was the best way to describe our eclectic experience as a class going through a normal freshman year and then experiencing a global pandemic our sophomore and junior years and coming full circle as seniors,” Eby said. In the fall, Eby plans to attend Providence College, Providence, R.I., to major in biology, with plans to go to medical school. Josh Fackler, son of Lindy and Trace Fackler of Lititz called his speech “Composition of a Warrior.” “I am a history nerd. I like to do research,” explained Fackler, who spent time over the last year researching WHS. “I have read every yearbook from Warwick High School, so I am in a unique position to figure out what it means to be a Warwick Warrior,” he said, noting that he will include the different characteristics and traits of the See WHS pg 5

“We reach more children in the summer than during the school year because each week we are in a different location,” said Nadine Welk, children’s ministry specialist coordinator with Child Evangelism Fellowship (CEF), perhaps best known for the Good News Clubs the organization runs after school. Over the summer, CEF organizes Five-Day Clubs, vacation Bible school (VBS) programs, and Good News Camps. This year, summer programs will be held at 17 locations in Lancaster County. See CEF pg 3

Superhero To Visit Lititz BY ANN MEAD ASH
Batman high fives a young fan in Lancaster County.
Batman - the Batman who is scheduled to make an upcoming appearance at the Lititz Historical Foundation (LHF) - has a bit of information to share about his friend and fellow crime-fighter, Superman. “In the DC Comics universe, the Superman logo (on Superman’s chest) is not an ‘S,’” said Batman. “It is a symbol of hope from Krypton (Superman’s home planet).” The Dark Knight may share other pieces of bat wisdom when he visits LHF at the invitation of local super historian Cory Van Brookhoven,
president of LHF. Batman will be at the organization’s headquarters, 137 E. Main St., Lititz, on Friday, June 10, from 5 to 8 p.m. Van Brookhoven connected with Batman via Alfred, Batman’s assistant, to arrange the appearance. The logo Superman wears on his chest is also close to Batman’s heart, as Batman is closely associated with Symbol of Hope (SOH Lancaster), an organization seeking to provide emotional support to children and families fighting childhood illness. “Our main mission is to build a Hero Headquarters tailored to each visiting child’s favorite superhero,” said See LHF pg 2
