DAUGHERTY RALPH N. McSHERRY 4 APPRECIATION EVA M. KOCHENOUR IVANHOE W. WINEMILLER We, the class of 1946, wish to take this opportunity to express our thanks to Miss Eva Kochenour, our literary adviser, and to Mr. I. W. Winemiller, our financial adviser, for their untiring efforts in helping to publish this first volume of “The Spectator.” ■ 5 ADMINISTRATION VU„ P.,M. KNOWLEDGE FRIENDSHIPS VICTORIES Urias J. Daugherty Supervising Principal Lebanon Valley College Bachelor of Arts Degree Teaching Subjects: Physics Chemistry MR. DAUGHERTY’S MESSAGE Members of the Class of 1946: The character of a group of human beings, like that of a single individual, includes the sum total of all the dominant qualities of mind and soul of each of the members of the group. It is, therefore, possible to assign to every high school class a predominant personality factor. The Class of 1946 manifests a natural inclination to discard the approved methods and standards now in vogue and to proceed to attain its goal by new and less conservative plans. The publication of this volume is the result of the class spirit of freedom from the prevailing standards. Those of us who were not so intimately associated with the work of this publication have looked forward with much pleasure to its completion, anticipat- ing a work which will be both a credit to its authors and a constant inspiration to all subsequent classes. We, therefore, wish to express our sincere gratitude to the Class for the resumption of a long-neglected activity. We hope that the work required for its consummation has given to all who participated unusual joy and pleasure. 8 MR. Me SHERRY’S MESSAGE Members of the Class of 1946: Another goal in the development of your personality and in the attainment of those ideals which you have set up for yourselves has been reached. In striving for this goal you have not only received many gifts of knowledge and inspiration but have also made many excellent contributions to the progress of Dallastown High School and its traditional customs. It is with pride and marked affection that we heartily thank you for these meritorious contributions. During your six years here, you have created a spirit which will carry you on and up to great achievements or down into the tragic descent of a life thrown away. It is our cherished hope and belief that each of you will go forth to great accomplishments, that you may come at last to the end of a happy and truly successful career with the feeling that all is well and that you have lived nobly and served truly.

Very seldom do you see her without a smile, for she is naturally happy and takes life as it comes. . . . Eleanor is generally a rather quiet girl until one of the boys of the class begins to torment her. Then she “lets go.” The tormentor is given the “old one-two and quickly disappears before “Toot swings another fist at him. . . . One of Eleanor's favorite hobbies is roller-skating; so, at least once a week you can find “Toot” at the rink. Another hobby is corresponding with a certain soldier with a bright blue car. . . . Eleanor is planning to go into training when she has completed high school. With her kindly disposition she will surely be a happy nurse. GAIL PAULINE CONWAY Chorus. 1. 3. 4; Red Cross Representative. 1; Cheer Club. 1; Basketball. 2; Class Play. 4; Class Reporter. 4; Interclass Bas- ketball. 4. • Here is another red-head. No, we’re sorry since “Cinnamon is sensitive about that. We mean auburn. . . . Whenever there’s a joke or a way of planning how to avoid a study period, you can bet that Gail had the idea first. ... If you don’t know anything about the Navy, consult “Cinnamon” about those coats of Navy blue because that topic is her hobby. . . . Additional hobbies of Gail’s are dancing, swimming, reading novels, and walking in the country, taking, what she calls, pictures. . . . Gail is famous, too, for those five-inch nails and that continuous chewing of gum. . . . Gail is hoping to follow her academic course with training in police duties. Much luck to you. “Cinnamon.” DORIS MAE DEARDORFF Chorus. 1. 3. 4: Class Secretary. 2. 4; Art Club. 1; Secretary of Art Club. 1: Home Room Secretary. 1; Beacon” Staff. 2. 3. 4; Chorus Secretary. 3. 4; Property Manager of Class Play. 3; Class Play. 4; ”Spectator Staff. 4. • Doris is one of our attractive, natural blondes with the additional blessing of naturally curly hair. ... A member of the academic group, she excels in French and is always willing to help the poor souls to whom French is Greek. . . . Doris, English, and geometry go well together, too, for in these she also makes good grades. However, her time is not confined to books, for she has been our capable associate editor of the Beacon” for several years, still finds moments for travel to Red Lion to see friends and to “get around.” takes other occasions for writing letters to her big interest—the armed forces. . . . We think her broad smile and sunny disposition will moke a successful dental hygienist. 22 ODA DARLING FREE Art Club. 1; Intcrclass Basketball. 4; Spectator” Staff. 4. • Little but mighty! That's our “Odie, who packs a neat wallop unhindered by her mere five feet. . . . One of the interests in this “Darling’s” life is a certain discharged soldier who can be dis- tinguished by his gray Ford. Secondary interests are sewing, reading, movies, and collecting dolls. . . . Since Oda favors commercial work and likes typing, her ambition is to become a secretary. But she realizes that the role of housewife appeals to feminine desires, too; so, here's a shower of good luck in either or both positions. WILBERT EUGENE GLADFELTER Basketball. 1, 2. 3. 4; Interclass Basketball. 1. 2: Red Cross Representative. 2; Student Council. 3. 4: President of Student Council. 4: Sports Club. 1: Intramural Softball. 1; Class Play. 3. 4; Senior Chorus. 3. 4; Spectator Staff. 4. • That loud, deep voice and the bushy black hair with a distin- guished streak of white in it belong to “Uncle Wilbert, who seems always to be laughing and having a good time. . . . Although “Uncle has a long walk to school every morning, he still has plenty of pep left to torment the girls of the class, especially one certain brunette. . . . Collecting stamps and “wolfing” are two hobbies that are paying dividends, but Wilbert doesn't go to York to collect stamps. . . . Wilbert is undecided about his future course, but with confidence we can assert that his grand personality and zest for fun will win happiness and success in his world of tomorrow. ETTA MAE REBECCA GRAHAM Chorus. 1. 3. 4; Cheer Club. 1; Basketball. 2: Class Play. 3; Spectator Staff. 4. • Pep, enthusiasm, and fun are synonymous with Etta Graham. A great lover of sports and anything active, Etta is forever going roller-skating in winter and swimming in summer. ... In school Etta favors French and is able to translate even though others aren't sufficiently prepared to do so. . . . You may often find Etta reading the latest, most popular books. She also likes photography, both classical and popular music, and a blond Merchant Marine. . . . After graduation Etta will make nursing her career. With her talents and willingness to work, Etta will indeed be a credit to the nursing profession.

Well, look on whom it’s bestowed! . . . But we can’t exactly declare “Snouse to be the noisiest boy in the class. In fact, he's really tranquilly quiet until that low jerky laugh comes forth. . . . Once upon a time Gene Bruce just wasn't the romantic type, but those days are gone forever. Evidence to that is very apparent in all those visits up Main Street to Windy Hill or in that comely farm lass of the freshman class. . . . Gene Bruce likes sports in general but would top his list with baseball. To that list of favorites we’d also add flirting. . . . “Snouse’’ has been one of the vocational class during high school but is uncertain of plans beyond that. We wish him well in whatever they may be!

If ever you’re looking for Paul, you’ll be certain to find him in a corner, chin-deep in a book. Novels, science, history, biography—all types hold fascinating appeal for Paul. . , . Besides reading, Paul likes sports, dramatics, the business end of the “Beacon,” social work, and eating. Paul keeps the candy companies busy, for his pockets are frequently filled to the top with candy, which he shares with others of us. . . . Paul is planning to attend Lebanon Valley College and then study for the ministry. We believe that Paul will surely be successful in his chosen profession. MIRIAM MAE KNISELY Chorus. 1. 3. 4; Science Club. 1; Red Cross Representative. 2; Student Council. 3: Basketball. 3; Class Play. 3: Spectator StafT. 4; Interclass Basketball. 4. • Miriam is one of the D. H. S. pupils who hail from Yoe. Accordingly, she's always an early bird at school in the morning. . . . Miriam may also be known to many of her friends as Mimi.” Mimi,” one of the smallest girls in our class, is very fond of movies, dancing, and skating. There is also a certain soldier from whom she is always expecting and receiving letters. , . . Mimi” is conscientious in her undertakings and ambitious in her course of study, for she has added several extra subjects to her regular academic studies. . . . Miriam's aiming to become a nurse and plans to take her training at Jefferson Hospital. Philadelphia. We feel that Miriam's ability and adaptability will lead her far in her career. 24 — DOLORES ELAINE LIVINGSTON Photography Club. 1. • Although she is a sweet young lady, she bears the nickname Red.” Then you can readily tell that she’s a red-head, and a very likeable one at that. It certainly is no secret that the male sex is well attracted by our Red.” . . . Red has numerous hobbies: namely, writing letters, keeping an eye on the Jacobus boys, riding, even riding a mule, working almost every evening, indulging in the long walk home to R. D. 1.... Red” chooses to continue her commercial course as a stenographer. With her friendly smile and manner she should make a pretty, pleasant stenographer. PAUL ELLSWORTH McCLEARY Junior Red Cross Representative. 1: Intramural Mushball. 1; Sports Club. 1; Interclass Basketball. 2. 3. 4; Chorus. 3. 4; Basket- ball Manager. 3. 4; Class Ploy. 3. 4. • Paul, who is better known to his classmates as Mac,” is from the country although most of his time is spent in Dallastown with the gang. . . . Paul goes back and forth from Dallastown in his Chevy, about which he could tell us many a hair-raising experi- ence. . . . The same car is frequently converted into a bus for hauling girls to Red Lion. Even “Mac seems to enjoy those trips. . . . Paul’s favorite hobby is wolfing. You should see some of the cute little lambs in his collection captured by secret maneuvering. . . . On the serious side Mac” has done a good job as manager of the basketball squad for two years. Surely that same kind of pep and willingness will do a good job in his future plans of aeronautical engineering. DELORES MAE MEYERS Science Club. 1; Beacon Staff. 4; Spectator Staff. 4. • Del” is one of the class who comes from the lower end of Dallastown and consequently has a long walk to school every morn- ing. But when a gal has her mind on a certain soldier, walking doesn’t bother her. . . . For Christmas she received stationery, but that’s not all! Put That Ring On My Finger can well describe the next present. . . . Two or three nights a week you can detect Delores going in the direction of the theater, for movies strike her fancy and have turned into her hobby. . . . Del” has followed the commercial course throughout her school days and expects to enter the business world, but being a soldier’s wife is first in her heart; so, here’s wishing you loads of luck in whatever your future holds for you, Delores.

When French class seems boring but “Johnny” has that intent look of seriousness, you can be sure that he’s engrossed in another model, for airplanes and aeronautics are definitely his main interest. . . . His ready drawing ability easily drew him the position of art editor for this yearbook. . . . “Johnny” also enjoys sports. Among these, basketball and football are his favorites. He may claim recognition in the former, for ever since he has been at D. H. S. he has been on the basketball team. . . . When he is out of school, he wants to join the Navy Air Corps. Happy landings, “Johnny”! BARBARA LEE PICKENS Chorus. 1. 3. 4; Cheerleader. 1; Secretary of Science Club. 1; ■Beacon Staff. 2. 3. 4; Student Council. 2. 3 4; Basketball. 2; Basketball Manager. 3; Class Play. 3. 4; Secretary of Student Council. 4: “Spectator Staff. 4. • If you’re looking for the beauteous combination of a tall, slim brunette. Barbara’s your girl. Moreover, although she seems quiet and serious in class, outside school “Pickey is packed with fun. She may try very hard not to laugh at certain jokes, but eventually she breaks into that smile that makes “Pickey” so pretty. . . . Ask Barbara her sentiment concerning drums, especially when a green Buick goes with those drums. . . . Barbara usually spends her evenings in dancing at the Coffee Shoppe, one of her chief hobbies. She also enjoys reading, movies and sports. Among the sports is basketball, for in her sophomore year Barbara proved a capable player and in her junior year became manager. . . . Barbara has come through the academic course with excellent marks. She is going to college to become an English teacher. Our hope is that she may happily do equally well in her future work. DORIS MAE REIMOLD Basketball. 3; Beacon Staff. 4; Intcrclass Basketball. 4. • “Blondie,” as her nickname suggests, is one of the girls tagged with blonde hair accompanying blue eyes. ... A quiet miss in classes, Doris is game to indulge in plenty of fun and usually is found either lending a fellow classman something or listening to a corny joke and kindly laughing at it. . . . Blondie enjoys writing letters to Austria, sewing, sports, and spending most of her evenings by working as a waitress. . . . Having moved from Red Lion, Doris joined the commercial class during our junior year. Since she exhibits such willingness to work, we are happy that she plans secretarial work after school. 26 PHYLLIS JANE RHOADS Chorus. 1, 3. 4; Art Club. 1; Class Play, 3. 4; •'Spectator Staff. 4. • If you hear a jolly laugh, “Janie” is in the room. She is a bundle of joy, full of pep, and always in for a good time. No matter how down-hearted you may be. if you’re in the presence of “Janie” you’ll be laughing before you know it. . . . “Janie’s” favorite pastime is the United States Navy. An automobile ride in the morning before school “Janie” also finds enjoyable. ... If you’re looking for a friendly personality that everyone likes, Janie’s” your answer. She can well qualify as one of the most popular girls of the class. . . . Phyllis Jane is wavering between becoming a nurse or a beauty culturist. Either field would be greatly enriched by “Janie’s” choice of career. VADA IRENE RIEDEL Chorus. 1. 3. 4: Chorus Secretary. 1; Photography Club. 1; Class Reporter. 2. 4: Property Manager of Operetta. 2; Class Play. 3. 4; Spectator Staff. 4. • You may recognize her as a whiz at shorthand. You may agree with her typical expression. That makes it nice.” In short, that’s Vada, sometimes known to her classmates as “Potato.” . . . Any evening of the week you can locate Potato” at the Coffee Shoppe, waiting for transportation to a well-known neighboring town. Per- haps her travels are directly related to her considerable ability at dancing and “wolfing.” . . . Vada also likes popular music and dotes on the song “Night and Day” for a particular reason that we don’t exactly know, either. . . . The commercial field is casting charms for Vada and her future. Since she’s already a capable typist, too, we’re maintaining that she is most likely to succeed in her work. JOSEPH DAVID ROJAHN Chorus. 1. 3. 4: Class Reporter. 1. 3: Music Festival. 1; Art Club. 1; Beacon Staff. 2. 3. 4; Interclass Basketball. 2; Class Play. 3. 4; Chorus President. 4; Student Council. 4; “Spectator Staff. 4. • Usually detected by a smile, a chuckle, or a joke is “Joe, the class humorist and fortunate possessor of a good-natured disposition almost always happy. . . . Particularly joyful moments for “Joe” are his numerous chats with his many female friends, for “Joe” bears no hatred whatsoever for the opposite sex. . . . But “Joe has also pursued other arts, his main delights being linoleum cuts for the “Beacon,” developing a happy ending for a literary romance, lifting his able voice in song, or going dramatic in class plays in such roles as Alfred Tennyson Murgatoyd. . . . Since Joe's” interest is definitely along these lines, he is considering studying something in the art or literary field. Best wishes for future good times, “Joe.” SENIORS 19 4 6 27 SENIORS 1946 RUSSELL WILLIAM SNYDER Band. 1. 2. 3. 4; Basketball, 1, 2. 3. 4; Interclass Basketball. 1 2; Intramural Softball. 1; Sports Club. 1; Beacon'' Staff. 2. 3. 4; Music Festival. 2. 3. 4: Student Council. 3; Baseball. 3. 4; Class Vice President. 3: Property Manager of Class Play. 4; Spectator” Staff. 4: Co-captain of Basketball, 4. • The little lad of our class is “Tiny” Snyder, who stands six feet and seven inches in stature. , , . “Tiny” is one of our best basketball players on the squad. Evidence of this is the individual scoring championship he won.... “Tiny” has several hobbies. The particular one of hunting may account for his various absences from school during hunting season. . . . Photography, too, has snapped him. If you like many of the snapshots in the “Spectator,” give “Tiny” his proper credit. If you’re looking for a camping champion, Russell is an ideal choice. He never lets a summer slip by without including at least one camping trip. ... By this time you can easily see that “Tiny” is a lover of sport who naturally plans a career in physical education. We’re certain this true sportsman will always be a champion.

During this period he gladly did his part toward the many projects and activities of the class. . . . “Bill’s” one of our sports- men, too, for he’s a member of the basketball squad and the sports editor of the “Beacon.” . . . Surely everyone has seen “Bill” in his Silver Streak. When you can’t see distinctly, there’s “Bill” cow- boying across the country. And “Bill” seems to enjoy wolfing any time of the day or night. . . . “Bill” is serious-minded; yet, if you hear a hardy laugh and then another cry of pain or surprise, you may well know that Bill” was pulling a joke on someone. . . . “Bill” wants to study law. His determination will doubtlessly reach that desired and worthy goal. BRUCE LAMAR SMITH Class Treasurer. 1. 3. 4; Intramural Basketball. I; Student Council. 1; Baseball. 2; Interclass Basketball. 3. 4; Spectator Staff. 4. • Bruce is better known as “Smitty,” a senior full of fun and pep. He’s also serious, studious, and trustworthy, for as treasurer he has capably discharged class finances during these several years. . . . Among his countless hobbies are the picking of tomatoes for Mr. McSherry, which pays a double dividend—being excused from school for half a day, and receiving eighty cents per hour; collecting stamps; biking; interest in sports; gym classes; and a senior girl. . . . “Smitty” is undecided about his future career, but his kindness and energy will rate well in whatever work “Smitty selects. 2S KERMIT BERNARD STRAYER Basketball. 1. 2. 3. 4; Baseball. 1. 3. 4; Interclass Basketball. 1. 2: Class Vice President. 1; Home Room President. 1; President of Sports Club. 1; Co-captain of Basketball. 4; Intramural Mush- ball. 1; Stage Manager of Class Play. 3. 4; “Spectator Staff. 4. • The girls surely know to whom to accredit that low whistle that accompanies them wherever they walk. That’s “Flash,” whose one delight is his membership on the “Wolf Patrol.” In fact, “Flash,” has often been seen hopping a ride to Red Lion. . . . Whenever there’s a good argument, depend upon Kermit to be in the heat of it. . . . His favorite expression certainly is “What I mean is,” for he uses it every day of the week. . . . “Like that there” is another favorite expression, used especially in English class. . . . “Flash” is one of our ace athletes in nearly all sports. His first choice is baseball, but basketball also has strong attraction. Kermit truly won his “Flash” on the basketball floor, for now you see him, now you don’t. . . . After school Kermit wants to become a contractor. We wish you happy building, “Flash.” RICHARD JAMES STRINE Band. I. 2. 3. 4; Science Club. 1; Intramural Mushball. 1; Treasurer of Class. 2; Basketball. 3: Interclass Basketball, 4. • All right, girls, you may stop swooning now because “Striney” is girl-shy. Yes, that’s the best joke to come from the Class of ’46, for Striney” is the dark, handsome heart-beat of the gals. . . . Since “Striney” lives for girls and more girls, he can often be found at the Coffee Shoppe dancing or else out “wolfing.” ... If there is a wisecrack made in any period, blame Strine. But Richard likes other sports, too, with football topping his long list. He seems not to tire of his frequent visits to York. . . . After his vocational course is completed, the armed forces will no doubt follow. Richard will decide later from that point. But for both now and then the class extends best wishes. ERNEST DEAN STUMP Basketball Manager. 1. 2: Science Club. 1; Intramural Mushball. 1; Vice President of Home Room. 1: Interclass Basketball. 3. 4; Stage Manager of Class Play. 3. 4; Spectator Staff. 4. • If you can't find Stump in school, look for him in Mr. McSherry’s tomato patch, for Ernie” is one of the champion tomato-pickers. Or if it's the first day of hunting season, you can be sure that you’ll not find “Ernie” in school as hunting is among his favorite hobbies. . . . Other interests of “Ernie” are sports and carpentry work. Moreover, every Saturday afternoon Ernie can be seen going to York to take his violin lesson. We have every reason to believe that “Ernie” is handy with tool or fiddle. . . . We have Ernie’s word that he favors mathematics and is not interested in any girl. They seem such a strange combination. . . . There’s a question mark in Ernie’s” mind concerning his future, but with his many able talents he may well have a varied and interesting life-work. SENIORS 19 4 6 29 SENIORS 19 4 6 MARIAN ELIZABETH TAYLOR Chorus. 1, 3. 4; Home Economics Club. 1; Basketball. 2. 3; ••Spectator” Staff. 4; Intcrclass Basketball. 4. • We won’t say that Miny” is the loudest gal in the class, but can you honestly select one louder? For instance, did anyone ever put a thumb tack on your seat, pull your hair, or practically undress you in the hall? Don’t tell us! We know that someone was Miny.” . . . The big event in Marian's life is Jacobus. Every other night and week-ends Miny” is visible among her numerous Jacobus friends. She certainly likes two big interests: “cowboying and “wolfing.” . . . In spite of that wilder” nature, Marian has a domestic side which has been tried and proved by Home Economics. . . . Having had some academic studies and some vocational courses, Marian will next seek to apply her pleasant ways and interest in people to nursing. Good luck, Marian. MARY ELLEN TAYLOR Photography Club. 1; Basketball. 2. 3; Class Play. 3; Interclass Basketball. 4; Interclass Basketball Captain. 4. • The classroom is quiet. Then Ginger” enters, and it is not very long until you are sitting on thumb tacks, brushing chalk off your clothes but taking all of the pranks as fun. Yes, Ginger” is always playing a joke on someone, having a good time in one way or another. . . . Mary has a long list of hobbies, some of which arc riding horseback, skating, and writing letters to countless number of Canadian servicemen. . . . She is also interested in sports and has been a member of the girls’ basketball team. . . . After her school days are over, she will likely be either a stenographer or a house- wife. The best of luck in whatever “ ‘Ginger’, spice, and everything nice” decides to be or not to be.

She has won recognition among us as “The Voice,” for at assemblies, dances, banquets, and other socials her sweet voice has pleased us. . . . Whenever there’s a group of girls gabbing in the hall, you can be sure Phil’s” in the midst of them. Then next to talking come her essential compact and powder-puff. . . . Phil has many pastimes: ushering at the local theater, cooking, bicycling, riding—preferably to Red Lion, the Merchant Marines. . . . Continuing her commercial activities, Phyllis would like secretarial work in dentistry after her graduation. Her ability to talk and smile will be definite assets to the lucky dentist. 30 GRACE IRENE WRIGHT Chorus. 1. 3. 4; Music Festival. 1; Student Council. 1; Junior Red Cross Representative. 1; Science Club. 1; Beacon Staff. 3. 4; Basketball Scorekeeper. 3: Class Play. 3; Spectator” Staff. 4. • Silence is golden” denotes our quiet, golden-haired Grace. Per- haps her great calm may be accredited to her long walk to school every morning. . .. Grace is among that rare type that enjoys studies, French being one of her favorite subjects. Grace is the student, for never con we find her wasting time in study halls. . . . Besides academic interests, Grace is very handy with needle and thread, and plays the piano very well. She has also found time for her journalistic duties as editor of the Beacon.” . . . Since she is going to attend college to prepare for teaching, we are confident that Grace will continue to develop her abilities with her customary success.

Con anyone else maneuver a “Chevy” the way Evelyn can. not to mention the owner of the vehicle? That said person is associated with Cupid, for Evelyn has been pierced by a Dallastown arrow. . . . Evelyn is also keen about dancing, movies, sewing, and fun in general. She’s just as active in school activities, such as being head cheerleader, drum majorette, and Beacon” typist. . . .

Our school has been a stable guide For learning, ambitions, and dreams— Some that have lived, some that have died For a better hope, it seems. So, should storms appear in some distant day Or plan and work seem vain, The strengthening power of school’s steadfast ray Will cheer us through the rain. But now with heart-felt memory We bid classmates good-bye To seek what achievement there may be Where our future pathways lie. Class Flower: Pink Rose 32 Class Motto: Launched But Not Anchored CLASS OFFICERS William Snyder President Ray Orwig Vice President Doris Deardorff Bruce Smith Secretary Treasurer CLASS HISTORY Joseph D. Rojahn Since this is a modern age replacing travel by magic carpet or horse, we invite you to accompany our class by rocket ship, painted the class colors of navy blue and gold, on a voyage into the past. We shall make the take-off on the lawn of Dallastown High School and go back to our early high school days, back to 1942! Freshman activity is welcoming new fellow-travelers from neighboring town and country to our classes and socials. Of the latter there are three: a Hallowe’en party, a New Year’s Eve celebration, and a farewell outing at the Swamp. On the horizon we see our sophomore year and the new pilot, Mr. William Kehm. Now for the first time we chart a distant aim, the yearbook, and sponsor rag drives to collect funds for it. There’s more fun for the class at the annual Hallowe’en party and at the Christmas season when we present our assembly program “A Christmas Carol,” under the direction of Mrs. Charlotte Orwig. With the coming of spring we’re off to Knaper’s Woods for doggie roasts, while the outing at Fuller’s bungalow marks the conclusion of another school year. Soon we join Mrs. Elwood Fauth for a promising year as juniors. Our whirl of activities includes the selection of a standardized ring, the naming of the year- book staff, the first all-school Hallowe’en party, the play “You’re Young Only Twice,” under the direction of Mrs. Marguerite Green. At the Springwoods Park dance the class is festive over the success of the junior play, but the biggest social frolic is the Junior-Senior Promenade that boasts the coronation of the first Prom King and Queen. In the senior year the last lap of the journey fieetingly passes from yearbook assignments to the chosen title “The Spectator, to the community parade and Hallowe’en party, to our presentation of “Girl Shy,” to the great events that begin with the Baccalaureate service held May 26 in the United Brethren Church, continue through the Class Day program of May 28, conclude with the Com- mencement exercises of May 29. Thus our rocket ship shoots us abruptly through time for 1942 to the present. But since that, too, soon is exchanged for future education, work, and happiness, with compassionate memories of “the Pleasant Hillside” we bid the Class of ’46 “Bon Voyage!” 34 CLASS PROPHECY Barbara Pickens You are about to be conducted into the realm of the future; for because of a remarkable coincidence which I am not at liberty to explain, I have been endowed for a few minutes with the wondrous opportunity of foreseeing within this crystal ball the future of the Class of '46. As the clouds pass, a small town comes into view. The sign informs us that Heavenly Town was founded in 1966. A few steps take us to the massive stone church on Main Street, where the minister, our friend Paul Kauffman, is earnestly exhorting his congregation to repent. Tiny” Snyder, the big businessman of the town, is about to repent of being a woman-hater. His private secretary, Evelyn Zarfoss, is confessing that she sits on the boss’s knee during working hours but that it really isn’t her fault that there’s a shortage of furniture; his stenographers, Vada Riedel, Phyllis Welty, and Doris Reimold, are sorry that they just can’t be at work on time after those late hours each night. There in the corner sits the town’s test-pilot, Ray Orwig, thinking of guilt in purposely crashing his plans into the home of a blonde. Well, that seemed one way to become acquainted! Since those are the only familiar faces in the church, suppose we continue our stroll. There’s the hospital with the head doctor, William Snyder, working on a new case, a hypochondriac named Gene Hildebrand who insists that he has pinched nose holes and won’t desert the doctor’s office with those beautiful nurses, Miriam Knisely, Eleanor Chronister, Etta Graham and Gail Conway. Saying good-bye to Marian Taylor, the chief receptionist who delightedly keeps screaming that the doctor is out, we chance by a neighboring building. One side displays the patient paintings of Joseph Rojahn and his cheerful assistant, Phyllis Jane Rhoads, with that portrait of the red-head, Delores Livingston, especially attractive. Next to Joe’s studio, Paul McCleary is busy every moment with those tele- vision-radio sets that sell like wildfire, while Bruce Smith is eagerly engaged in recording the profits. We must not miss the high school. Yes, there's the principal, Wilbert Glad- felter, dictating orders. How he enjoyed imitating teachers when he was in school! Surely he likes his present work. The faculty includes another of our friends, Barbara Pickens. We hear she’s still trying to figure out why she ever wanted to be a teacher. Continuing our tour, we pass the comer grocery store. There’s the clerk, Doris Deardorff, just beaming upon all the little carrots and cabbages. She has been married recently, you know. On the opposite corner, in the library we catch a glimpse of the librarian, Grace Wright, talking with the town’s baseball coach, Kermit Strayer. Over there in a quiet corner sits Richard Strine, who has settled down into the perfect example of a husband. A short distance beyond the town is Ernest Stump’s large truck farm, next to Mary Taylor’s famous horse ranch. There’s a new development of neat cottages. Do we recognize Oda Free and Delores Meyers preparing dinner? Oh! Why must the crystal become cloudy already? 35 CLASS WILL Having come to its last hours of peace with the world and the faculty, the class of nineteen forty-six feels under obligation to divide all of its worldly possessions among the following beneficiaries: To the “Beacon”: An intelligent humorist who can produce a comic section that is not pathetic. To the faculty: Intelligent and willing students who don’t depend on looking over someone else’s shoulder during exams. To the school: A new gym in which everyone can be seated comfortably during a game. To the hooky players: Teachers who forget to give excuse blanks. To the janitor: All copies of physics books to use as fuel for next year. To the cheerleaders: The pep and vigor of the seventh grade. The aforesaid class furthermore bequeaths its remaining talents, with which it is unfortunately burdened: To all drivers of automobiles: Paul McCleary’s, Doris Deardorffs, William Sny- der’s, Evelyn Zarfoss’, Kermit Strayer’s and Barbara Pickens’ skills in man- euvering an automobile with the hope that maybe from these you can secure at least one good driver. To the Senior play cast next year: The Class of 1946 s dramatic talent. Eleanor Chronister’s quietness to Donna Stabley. Gail Conway’s sailors to anyone who is tired of the Army. Doris Deardorffs fair complexion to Miss Perry. Oda Free’s pierced ears to June Peters. Wilbert Gladfelter’s love to his female friends. Etta Graham’s temper to Mary Henry. Gene Hildebrand’s freckles to Treva Grim. Paul Kauffman’s sermons to anyone who wants to listen. Miriam Knisel s sad love story to “True Story’’ Magazine. Dolores Livingston’s red hair to Myrtle Meek. Paul McCleary’s car to anyone who wants to take the risk. Delores Meyers’ engagement ring to Joe KeifTer. We are sure he can find use for it. Ray Orwig’s airplanes to Bruce Fink. Barbara Pickens’ red streak to Shirley Brant. Vada Riedel’s ability of getting to Red Lion to Marilyn Rost. Doris Reimold’s typing speed to Ruth Jennings. Phyllis Jane Rhoads’ sense of humor to Mary Wesley. Joseph Rojahn's jokes to I. W. W. Bruce Smith’s popularity in the commercial course to Raymond Flory. Russell Snyder’s height to Robert Bricker. William Snyder’s presidency to an aspirin addict. Kermit Strayer’s gift of gab to Mrs. Green’s study periods. Richard Strine’s wolfing to Mervin Hildebrand. Ernest Stump’s quietness to Freddie Koontz. Marian Taylor’s mischievousness to the Lentz twins. Mary Taylor’s art of horseback riding to Roy Rogers. Phyllis Welty’s ability to sing to everyone in the future chorus. Grace Wright’s walks to school to Betty Sowers. Evelyn Zarfoss’ knitting ability to the future Home Ec. girls. All the remaining possessions, belongings and fixtures not mentioned above can conveniently be disposed of by giving them to the junkman. In witness of this the last will and testament of the Class of 1946, we have hereunto set our hand and seal. Witness: Barbara Pickens [seal] Attest: I. W.

We think of our freshman and senior days. Of these we will sing our many lays, Of classmates, teachers ever true That we found in the White and Blue. Oh, why must time so swiftly fly? The happy years have glided by! The joyous, carefree student days Are seen through memory’s haze. 64 SENIOR CHORUS Leit io RiHht, First Row: Etta Graham.

The girls of the sorority— Helen Hunter, the president (Grace Wright); Beatrice Newman (Phyllis Welty), a wise-cracking freshman; two college girls, Irene Pratt (Vada Riedel) and Avis Laurel (Etta Graham); Dorothy Randolph, a Georgia peach (Gwen Miller)— try to oust her but are not successful. Libby Frohman (Miriam Knisely) is the only one who befriends Agatha. On the campus are Van Wyck Waterhouse, a Time for the biff dance l jou ’re looting Only Ji ivice football hero (William Snyder), who was one of Agatha's former pupils; his cousin, Chester Pearson (Ray Orwig); Lowell Cooper, an attractive senior (Paul McCleary); and Emil De Soto, a French Romeo (Paul Kauffman) whom they pay to court Miss Dunning. But Van Wyck Waterhouse, Sr. (Wilbert Gladfelter) saves the day by announcing his engagement to her, much to the surprise of Van and his friends. Comedy was also provided by Sophie, the maid of all work (Mary Taylor), and Stubby Holcomb (Joseph Rojahn). Van’s father arrives unexpectedly Babs takes over Tom's domestic problems 1946 SENIOR CLASS “Girl Shy” concerns the antices of girl-shy Tom Arsdale (William Snyder) and a lady-killer, Oke Stimson (Ray Orwig), two college boys, when Tom’s Aunt Caroline (Barbara Pickens), his father, Anthony Arsdale (Wilbert Gladfelter) and his pet aversion, Sylvia Webster (Vada Riedel), visit the campus. Barbara Sanford, a movie actress (Doris Deardorff), trades places with a housemaid. Birdie (Gail Conway), a movie aspirant, and Tom immediately falls in love with her, but Peaches Carter, Oke’s present weakness (Evelyn Zarfoss), who Babs finally gefs her man 72 Things turn out well alter all PLAY Qir(Shy really knowns who Barbara is, nearly betrays her identity. In the midst of a masquerade ball Sylvia is kidnapped by Chuck, Birdie’s latest affinity (Paul McCleary), but returns in time for Tom’s announcement of his engagement to Barbara. Sylvia, however, has fallen in love with Alfred, the college poet (Joseph Rojahn), and Caroline has a liking for Dean Marlow (Paul Kauffman). All this proves too confusing for Asma, a colored “wash-lady” (Phyllis Rhoads), but proved an entertaining evening. Everyone's ready lor the masquerade Hubba, Htibba, Hubba! Teacher entertains students—for a change Following the Hallowe’en parade, in which every class of the community schools represented some scene, and the awarding of the prizes to many classes, the student body of the high school assembled in the gym for an evening of fun. Highlights of the program included the apple-bobbing by the faculty, tnat HALLOWE’EN A-hunting we will go 74 Aren't we lovely? PARTY “cute” couple of a pioneer lady escorted by her “Mortimer,” the class cakewalks that led to refreshments, dancing and Paul Joneses, the fun house with its real shock, the entertaining kissing game that surprisingly entangled both teacher and pupil, as a certain senior would assure us. Yes, plenty of fun and food for all. Gasoline rationing is over Shoot the hare 75 King, Queen and Mistress THE JUNIOR- SENIOR PROM The gym was scarcely recognizable as such during its transformation into a garden that was enclosed by a stone wall covered with laurel and intertwining flowers. Additional laurel interlaced with pine filled the overhanging roof. Beyond the wall was a picket fence with more laurel and flowers attached to it, while at intervals along the fence lamp posts beamed gaily upon the dancing couples. The bleachers masqueraded as a gar- den adorned with a throne that was decorated with a fan of flowers. Here the first May King and Queen were chosen according to the election of the juniors, the present senior class. To the tune of Eddie Debbs’ orchestra, Lucille Kohler and Robert Shenk, after their coronation, led the Grand March that marked a happy Prom night. We danced the night away A snack at the Prom � The present Gym Dallastown Civic Orchestra GYM RALLY Saturday, March 2 featured a com- munity rally in the gymnasium, the purpose of which was to inform the community of the plans to secure a new auditorium-gymnasium for Dallastown. The program included selections by the newly organized Dallastown Civic Orchestra, the invocation by the Rev. S. L. Hench, selections by the High School Chorus, the Dallastown Male Chorus, an address by Dr. Imre Kovacs, and remarks by Paul E. Stein, Esq., the committee chairman. DR.

Second Row: William Snyder. George Jamison. Sports in Dallastown High School this year consisted of basketball, baseball, track, interclass boys’ basketball and interclass girls’ basketball. It is hoped that girls’ basketball will be revived next year. Basketball was coached by Mr. Richard Dillon, while Mr. William Kehm coached the baseball and track teams. Mr. Kehm also conducted the inter- class sports, which made many a cold wait at noon enjoyable and exciting. The student body greatly appreciated these games. Athletic matters are left to the Athletic Association, composed of Professor R. N. McSherry, high school principal. Miss Gladys Stockslager and Mr. William Kehm, faculty advisers, and all class presidents. CLASS B CHAMPIONS Lrtt to Ri ht, First Row: Kcrmit Stroycr, George Jamison, William Snyder. Second Row: Ray Orwig, Gone Hildebrand. Donald Deller, Charles Snyder. Third Row: Wilbert Gladfclter, Russell Snyder, Jerry Shcfler. The chief sport in Dallastown High School is basketball, for every boy gives his heart and soul to be able to say he is on the squad, every girl thrills to be a cheerleader, regardless of the hard work, while the remaining students are proud just to say they are good rooters. This year the team did not have as good a season as was expected since there were three veteran players and two members who saw plenty of action the previous year. Over this outcome the team was as much disheartened as the other students, perhaps more so because the parting seniors now can only look forward to rooting for you in the game we love so much. This year’s team won five out of seven league games, dropped the next four games to opposing teams, and gained Class B representation by winning the final game from the newly crowned champions. Then the Blue and White squad easily defeated Hallam to gain the Class B honors of York County for the second consecutive year. When Dallastown next entered District 3 P.I.A.A. play-offs, East Lampeter of Lancaster was easily humbled but Palmyra abruptly ended every D. H. S. student’s dreams of a much cherished Class B District 3 P.I.A.A. title. BLUE AND WHITE Snyder scores for D. H. S. January 11, 1946 Dallastown 44 - Spring Grove 30 Outplaying its opponents during the entire game. Dallastown took an easy decision from Spring Grove. The game proved to be a very rough one. as several players were hurt. The victory enabled Dallastown to remain tie for first place with West York and York Catholic. January 15, 1946 West York 43 - Dallastown 30 Leading by only three points as the second half was underway. West York dumped Dallastown into second place as it completely outplayed and out- scored the local lads. This victory enabled West York to stay tie for first place with York Catholic. January 18, 1946 Dallastown 27 - York Catholic 26 The most exciting home game of the season was played when Dallastown took a one-point decision from York Catholic. The lead kept changing hands the entire game, but Dallastown finally pulled the contest out of the fire in the closing seconds of play. December 2, 1945 York Catholic 29 - Dallastown 28 The first league game found York Catholic, last year’s champions, playing host to Dallastown. The first half found Dallastown hopelessly outplayed, but in the second half Dallastown turned the tables on York Catholic and uncorked a beautiful rally that brought Dallastown within one point of tying the score when the final whistle blew. January 25, 1946 Wrightsville 36 - Dallastown 22 The next game found Dallastown pitted against Wrightsville on the latter’s floor. Dallastown was very much in the game during the first half, trailing by only two points at the intermission, but folded completely in the second half as Wrightsville gained sweet revenge for its earlier defeat. December 7, 1945 Dallastown 31 - Wrightsville 24 Dallastown joined the victory trail by trimming a strong Wrightsville five. The game was a nip-and- tuck affair until the last quarter when Dallastown outscored the visitors by six points. December 21, 1945 Dallastown 24 - Red Lion 13 Dallastown next played host to its old rival. Red Lion. The first half proved to be an interesting game, but in the second half Dallastown limited Red Lion to two foul shots while it dumped in more than enough points to win the game. January 8, 1946 Dallastown 34 - North York 30 Coming from behind in the last half, Dallastown took a well-played game from its host. North York. From the very beginning it was apparent the game was going to be an exciting one, as the lead changed hands several times until the last quarter when Dallastown finally had things under control. Strayer goes into the air PLAY BY PLAY February 1, 1946 Red Lion 40 - Dallastown 25 Playing without the service of one member of the starting team, Dallastown was humbled by Red Lion on the Lions' floor. Red Lion led most of the game, as Dallastown led only for a few minutes in the second quarter. February 7, 1946 North York 44 - Dallastown 42 Again Dallastown played without the services of one of the starting five and again met the same fate. Dallastown led by 18 points with about twelve minutes left to play, but slumped terribly and scored only four points while North York scored 24. February 12, 1946 Spring Grove 30 - Dallastown 29 Dallastown met a very stubborn Spring Grove five, who not only gave our cagers plenty of competition but when the final whistle blew found themselves with a one-point victory. The game was exciting and close throughout, although not too well played. February 15, 1946 Dallastown 41 - West York 36 After losing five out of six games, Dallastown finally found its early-season form and snapped an eight- game winning streak of the league champions by handing West York its second and last league defeat. The entire game was well played and exciting with Dallastown coming from behind in the last quarter to clinch the verdict. Nothing to it! Tiny” against Palmyra March 1, 1946 Dallastown 39 - Hallam 19 The Blue and White easily defeated Hallam to win the Class B championship of York County. The first half was a close game with the lead changing hands several times throughout. However, in the second half the local cagers hit their stride and outscored their opponents 23-5. March 6, 1946 Dallastown 51 - East Lampeter 35 The boys from Dallastown came through success- fully to win the first District 3 P.I.A.A. game in the history of the school. In the first quarter the local lads were taken by surprise and were completely outplayed to find themselves trailing by seven points. In the next quarter the Blue and White started a rally which ended only with the final whistle. March 9, 1946 Palmyra 42 - Dallastown 32 Dallastown’s hopes of the District 3 title were ended abruptly. The local cagers started with their usual stride by leading 20-12 at half. In the second half the local team completely changed its style of play and froze the ball. This easily spelled a miserable defeat. JUNIOR VARSITY Lcit to Ri ht, First Row: David Sowers, Conrad Glndfelcr. Second Row: Austin Stiles, Fred Druck, Richard Attig, William Kell. The Dallastown Reserves are the varsity teams of the future, for the varsity boys that were looked up to and cheered this year were not born stars but had their beginning on a reserve team sometime, somewhere. There is not much glory for the reserve as he sits on the bench, but the fellows playing the game know that their success is due largely to these boys since they are the ones against whom the varsity scrimmages at practice, they are the ones against whom the varsity perfects its plays, they are the ones that the varsity falls upon when in need of help during the game. So, although it may not appear so to many people, the reserves are just as important to the team’s success as the varsity squad itself. This year the reserves came through with a glorious season, which they so much deserved. Yes, they had an undefeated season, but the records don’t show the struggles and heartaches these boys endured. Many times it looked as though they were going down to defeat, but some- how they always came through with the victory. Some of these boys played their last game this year without ever getting on the varsity squad, without ever getting any recognition from the fans, but the hearts of the team and students go out to these boys who helped so greatly to make this season such a big success. Following are the scores of all the reserve games: Dallastown. . . . . . 18 York Catholic . . ..17 Dallastown. . . . . .33 Manchester . . . . . .20 Dallastown. . . . . .28 Delta . . 12 Dallastown. . . . . .22 Wrightsville . . . ...16 Dallastown. . . .. .31 East Berlin . . . . . .15 Dallastown. . . . . .42 Delta ..17 Dallastown. . . .. . 11 Manchester . . . . . . 8 Dallastown. . . . . .28 Stewartstown . . ...15 BASEBALL CANDIDATES Left to Right, First Row: Donald Dollar, Gene Bruce Hildebrand, Eugene Snyder, Ronald Miller, Gerald Hildebrand, David Sower� , Glenn Kinard, William Snyder, George Jamison, Richard Attig, Austin Stiles.

The team boasts four veterans of last year’s team supported by a group of boys seeking starting berths on this year’s team. Although the team lacks hitting power, it is believed that the boys may gain this through the capable guidance of their coach and may give the Blue and White one of its best baseball seasons. 85 November 30, 1945 Dallastown 50 - Dover 11 Dallastown Junior High opened its season in a big way as it trimmed Dover Junior High. Dallastown took an early lead and very easily won. December 7, 1945 Dallastown 29 - Mt. Wolf 21 Playing on even terms with Mt. Wolf in the first half, the local cagers outscored their visitors in both the third and fourth quarters to win their second league game. December 12, 1945 Dallastown 26 - Red Lion 21 Dallastown next entertained Red Lion. Dal- lastown took the first quarter lead and out- scored Red Lion in every quarter but the last as it kept itself undefeated. December 14, 1945 Dallastown 17 - Mt. Rose 13 Dallastown was entertained by last year’s champions, Mt. Rose, who were off to a quick start and led 10 to 5 at the half. But in the second half Dallastown rallied to outscore its rivals 12 to 3 to take a well-earned decision. JUNIOR HIGH January 8, 1946 North York 29 - Dallastown 26 Dallastown received the surprise of its life as the last place North York team upset it and knocked it from its undefeated berth. The local boys found themselves trailing by six points at the half. In the second half they fought back bravely but couldn't over- come the first half lead. January 11, 1946 Dallastown 23 - Spring Grove 13 Outscoring the visitors in every quarter but the last, the local Junior High was back with winning ways as it easily defeated Spring Grove to keep the second place berth. January 15, 1946 West York 27 - Dallastown 25 The second place Dallastown team met the league leaders on the latter’s floor when vic- tory for Dallastown would tie it for first place. West York took a first quarter lead of five points, but Dallastown cut this lead to one point by half time. The third quarter Dallas- town tied the score, but West York finally eked out a two-point decision in a keenly fought game. Left to Ri£ht, First Row: Robert Bricker, Mnhlon Wire, Clair Stump.

Rose 21 For three quarters the host club, Dallastown. and the visiting team, Mt. R 3e, played a nip-and-tuck battle. But in the last quarter Mt. Rose fell apart, and Dallastown outscored its rivals by ten points. January 24, 1946 Mt. Wolf 35 - Dallastown 31 In a hard fought game Mt. Wolf handed Dallastown its third defeat of the season. At the end of three quarters the score was tied, but Dallastown, with the loss of one of its varsity players via personal foul route, just couldn't keep pace with Mt. Wolf in the last quarter and was outscored by four points. January 29, 1946 Dallastown 55 - Dover 31 Dallastown easily led in the first half. The second half was more evenly played with the locals outscoring Dover by only one point. February 1, 1946 Red Lion 19 - Dallastown 17 Although they were outscored in every period but the last and collected only three field goals, the Dallastown Junior High boys in the last quarter made a desperate try to win. But their rally fell short, and Red Lion took over second place slightly above Dallastown. February 7, 1946 North York 27 - Dallastown 26 In a very close, exciting contest North York handed the home team its second defeat in a row. Dallastown led for over half of the game but in the last half failed to see many open- ings and muffed several other chances to score. In the meantime North York kept cutting the lead and finally went out in front to emerge the victor. February 12, 1946 Dallastown 45 - Spring Grove 15 Dallastown journeyed to Spring Grove to bury the latter team under a barrage of field goals and win an easy victory. Dallastown's starting team played only about half of the game. February 15, 1946 West York 34 - Dallastown 18 After holding their own during the first half, the local lads fell apart in the second half and lost their final game of the season to the undefeated league champions. West York had plenty of trouble with Dallastown in the first half but in the last half began to click and easily won.
