Summary: A long time ago, a narrow gauge railroad was built through southern Lancaster and Chester Counties, in Pennsylvania, bringing an alternative to horses, buggies and ox carts, on muddy deeply rutted roads. "Ole Peachy," as many of the locals called it, served no major industries. Instead, it made do with poultry, eggs, butter, cattle, cream and passengers, becoming a vital link for the farmers of, and visitors to, the "Southern End ." This is the story of how , despite great odds against it, this short line managed to survive for 47 years. [from the book cover]

Summary: "This year's Journal...is about a local landmark which holds the venerable distinction of having influenced the educational lives of three and in some instances four generations of local families..."; "Of all the landmarks in the Ephrata area, none have the distinction of having touched more liaves or aggected more generations than the building today known as Highland Elementary School. Except during tow major periods of renovation, the school has remained in continuous use as a center of education for Ephrata students ever since it was first built as the Ephrata High School in 1927."; "...it would be a landmark in its own right due to the confluence of two major architectural powerhouses: the renowned Lancaster architect C. Emlen Urban and prominent local craftsman Alexander L. Gerhart."
