Psychology students think outside the “box!”
by Dr. Jan Mindish
I'm most certainly an animal lover but not a big fan of
rats. My experience with the rodents has involved
screaming when I see one. For over a decade, Penn
Manor High School students have enjoyed the opportunity to get to know a rat, “up close and personal.”
Through the month long “rat project,” students work in
teams of two or three conditioning their rat using various techniques to shape their behavior. The goal is to
determine the most effective strategies to help animals and people learn.
Surprisingly, in this short time, the rats learn to come
when called by name, crawl through tunnels, jump
hurdles, walk wires, push a marble up a ramp, complete a maze, and climb a rope “hand over hand” like
we used to do in gym class! What's the trick? After
thirty years of owning dogs, I'm happy when they are
successfully housebroken and sometimes look in my
direction when I call them! Psychology teacher, Maria
Vita, explained that the students practice a variety of
reinforcement techniques, based on food rewards, to
shape the rats' behavior. Students learn that positive
reinforcement and rewards are also prevalent throughout our world today in shaping human behavior.
Last year Penn Manor's psychology program
advanced to a level comparable to college programs
thanks to receiving a Penn Manor Education
Foundation Venture Grant for over $2,000. The grant
was used to purchase a “Skinner box,” an operant
conditioning chamber that has enhanced student
research methods as they learn how to shape the voluntary behaviors of their rats. Created by psychologist, B.F. Skinner, the Skinner box purchased is a nonshock system which includes a bar, a pellet dispenser
(for rewards) and a light to signal reinforcement to the
rat. The rats are conditioned to voluntarily press the
bar for food. Students can practice different schedules
of reinforcement, keeping detailed journals as evidence of their growing knowledge of behavioral concepts. They increase the schedule of reinforcement to
teach the rats to get the pellet after more times pressing the bar. Rats that pushed the bar 60 times in one
minute to get the sugar pellet earned a perfect score for
their team. Using lots of 45 milligram sugar pellets, nearly
all of the 27 rats last spring learned to press the bar for
food. The light in the box was also used to influence
behavior. The rats learned to look for food when the light
came on.
Penn Manor High School is now one of the very few secondary schools to offer this level of research experience for
our students. Is it any wonder that there are two sections of
Advanced Placement Psychology and four sections of
Social Psychology at Penn Manor this year, making psychology one of the most popular electives? Over the next
four years, nearly 1,000 students will have an opportunity
to condition their rats using the Skinner box. If only I could
fit a 100 pound Golden Retriever into the box!

In October 2010, PMEF awarded 39 more venture grants
to teachers totaling $24,659.95 bringing the total amount of
venture grants funded since September 2000 to nearly
$450,000! Watch for more articles about these exciting
projects in future issues of the Foundation Focus.

Two new PMEF
sponsored
scholarships will
be offered
this spring
The Christine A.
Weidinger Memorial
Scholarship
Mrs. Joan Weidinger and her family, long-time
friends of the Penn Manor School District, will offer
for the first time in May of 2011 a scholarship in
memory of their daughter and sister, Christine.
Christine was a resident of Manor Township and a
1979 graduate of Penn Manor High School. All of
her siblings, Kathy (class of 1971), Mike (class of
1973), Pat (class of 1977), and Mark (class of
1983), are also Penn Manor graduates.
As a Penn Manor High School student Christine
excelled in many areas, but her skills and her passions seemed to find their best demonstration
through her work in classes that were then called
Home Economics. (Now courses in this area are
referred to as the Family and Consumer Sciences.)
She continued her studies at Mansfield University,
graduating with honors in 1983 with a Bachelors
Degree in Family and Consumer Sciences.
The Christine A. Weidinger Memorial Scholarship
will recognize a female Penn Manor graduate who
values the same crafts and high academic goals
that were so characteristic of Christine. Interested
candidates for the scholarship must produce a reference provided by a Family and Consumer Science
teacher and should also provide pictures of products created in their textile classes.
The Penn Manor Foundation is grateful to the
Weidinger family for their thoughtful generosity and
is happy to help Mrs. Joan Weidinger create this
scholarship in the memory of Christine.
The Mrs. Abner J.
Houseknecht Scholarship
It is with great pleasure that PMEF announces the
newly created Houseknecht scholarships. These
$2500 awards will be given to five Penn Manor
senior girls each year in May starting with the
Class of 2011. Applicants must be planning to
pursue formal education beyond high school and
selection of winners will be based on academic
achievement and financial need.
Mr. Abner Houseknecht set aside funds in his
estate to create a trust that would honor the
memory of his wife, Ruth, through scholarships to
Penn Manor girls with great academic ability but
only modest financial means. These selection criteria reflect Ruth's circumstances when she graduated from Penn Manor. Ruth's high school teachers and classmates recognized a keen mind and a
great work ethic; feeling Ruth had the capability
to pursue a career in any field she wished.
Unfortunately, Ruth's class, the Penn Manor Class
of 1933, graduated right in the heart of the Great
Depression thus her career and educational
options were few. Upon graduation she took the
only job she could find, a retail clerk position, and
unselfishly gave up the dream of higher education
in order to help support her family. Life's hardships did not prevent Ruth from becoming a very
capable and giving person.
Ruth seemed to excel in everything she tackled,
becoming known as an accomplished gardener
and excellent cook. She was deeply involved in
the Millersville community serving as President of
the Woman's Club, on the Bicentennial
Committee, and in various positions with St.
Paul's Lutheran Church. For years she hosted
Fresh Air children in the summer.
In short, Ruth was the kind of lady who was
remembered by all as being optimistic, kind, selfless, and extremely generous. It was the hope of
her husband Abner that these scholarships will
keep her memory alive and give financial assistance to capable Penn Manor girls facing their
own financial challenges.
On behalf of all future Houseknecht scholarship
winners, thank you Mr. & Mrs. Houseknecht!

Welcome to New PMEF Board Members
The Penn Manor Education Foundation is pleased to announce the addition of two new Board members, Janet Lenahan and Robert Herr.
Janet Lenahan grew up in Camp Hill and graduated from Cumberland Valley High School and Grove
City College. She worked for Armstrong Industries for ten years, in direct sales for twelve years, and is
now the financial manager for Samaritan Counseling Center. Janet and her husband Rob have two children, Jason, a 2009 Penn Manor graduate and Kelly, a junior at Penn Manor High School. The Lenahan
family has lived in the district since Jason was in elementary school, and Janet has worked actively as
a volunteer for all of the activities in which her children were involved. She has served as treasurer
and co-president for the Central Manor PTO where she also led the Envirothon teams. At Manor Middle
she worked with the CAP program. She was treasurer for the High School Marching Band Boosters for
four years and was in charge of the band banquet. She has also helped with Applause!! and the
Chorus Boosters. Janet feels blessed to be a part of the Penn Manor School district and was more than
happy to accept appointment to the Foundation Board. She is proud to work for a district that is so
accepting of diversity and hopes that her energy, creativity, business background and experience with
other organizations will be useful in her tenure with the PMEF Board.
Bob Herr, a 1981 Penn Manor graduate, lives in the district with his wife Lydia and children, Marcy, a
freshman at Penn State University; Monica, a junior at the high school; Victoria, a freshman at the
high school; and Willie, a student at Dayspring. Bob is the owner of Herr's Fruit Farm and Burning
Bridges Antiques Market in Columbia. Bob says that he has always admired what the Penn Manor
Education Foundation does in helping teachers and students. Bob appreciated the mission of the
Foundation so much that he didn't have to think twice about the offer of a seat on the Board and
enthusiastically accepted the position. Impressed by Penn Manor's dedicated and inspiring teachers, he
definitely wants to get involved with helping the kids with scholarships and Venture Grants and other
projects that add so much value to the educational opportunities offered by Penn Manor.
