Principal . . .
Mr. Ernest Sell
We teachers and you pupils shared many
well-'spent hours in the classroom this term.
They were hours of elation and sometimes
disappointments. Let your school hours re-
mind you that through life, no matter where
you go, these hours will profit you.
Supervising Principal . .
Mr. Calvin F. Shaulis
As your supervising principal I have
come in contact with each and every one of
you at one time or another, in many dif-
ferent situations. But in each one of you,
I saw some school spirit. This same spirit
throughout life will help make our world a
better place in which to live.

Secretary Diana Tomei hearts that love.
Treasurer John Gordish Class Flower: Yellow Roses
Advisor Miss Roberta Fair Class Colors: Yellow and Black
Another school year is over for this class, and don't look now but it was their fourth in high
school. Some have regrets that it is over, but most are happy to be on their own at last. They
know that at the end of six years of grade school and six of high school, their compulsory education
has been completed. And whether of not they go on for further schooling, they are, as it has been
said, cast out into the sea of life in a boat of their own making.
Looking back over the last years, each boy and girl can visulize once more the times they con-
sidered the best.
Their freshmen year was the same as any year that freshmen have spent in any school. This was
the last year at the school that there were separate boy and girl classes and homerooms.
In their sophomore year their big event was a semi-formal dance which brought in quite a net
profit and started them off on the right foot for the events of the junior year.
But of course, the biggest event of all was their own "Pink Mist Prom", in their junior year.
So now they have relived the past and are living the present but the biggest thrills they will get
henceforth will be in the flllllfe- Good luck and Bon Voyage to the seniors from all of us.

ALOISE, JOSEPH -- Our shot-put
charhpion of long standing will be
going in for other activities soon.
We wish our curly-haired "Italiano"
all the luck that a clever brain can
bring.
BLASIN, ANGELINE--A sporty girl,
that's "Ang". And in more ways
than one. She's good in sports, is
a good sport, and sports quite a bit
of talent in twirling.
BLYSTONE, TI-IEINIA -- "Tootie"
is a charmer. She's another of our
majorettes, in whose ranks she
marches with head held high. Dig-
nity, a keynote of her personality
make her one of our most liked
girls.
BOLO, BARBARA--This fum-loving
miss will make a very stable nurse
when the time comes. But we doubt
that this tame profession will dull
her bright eye, or crimp her dancing
style.
BROWN, CLARK--The pride of the
Keystone State. One of our Key-
stone Farmers, Clark chose a profit-
able hobby, and stuck to it. The
F. F. A. basketball team has a crack
forward in this boy.
BURKETT, CAROL -- Carol's an-
other of our redheads, but her tem-
per doesn't match her fiery hair.
She's real cool! Her future home
economics students will gain a
teacher and companion
CHAKAN, DONNA -- The Com-
mercial Course holds quite a charm
for Donna, who is a good worker
with lots of charm herself. Could
it be that she plans to follow up the
course by becoming a secretary?
DURAND, JAMES --jim's interest
in Ag. leads him to the Ag. shop
to tinker with the machinery there.
This will profit him later, for a
farmer must know how to repair the
machinery used on his farm.

GARRY, BARBARA--The piquant
face seen in the halls of ERHS now,
will soon brighten the campus of
ISTC. She'll make a very pretty
red-haired teacher, won't she?
GARTLEY, SHERRY -- A slender,
petite lass, with a winning smile
and many friends, Sherry is always
ready to do a good turn for some-
one. Some day when she's a house-
wife, she'll make a good neighbor.
GAYDOSH, GRACE--"Gracie" as
her special friends have called her,
is another of the Ridgers more
"quiet ones".. She can, however,
raise a storm in Chemistry class ....
take it any way you like!
GFPPERT, DOROTHY -- "Dot",
with her boyish haircut, hardly looks
worth anything at all, if we were
measuring in pounds. Fortunately,
we are not. She is an able worker
and has petite charm that pleases.
GORDISH, JOHN -- "jughead's"
favorite pastime in his four years
at the Ridge seems to have been
basketball, a pastime well spent,
for he was a star center. This could
well be due to his six feet two
inches of muscle and power.
GUELLA, LOUIS -- "The Sideburn
Kid" --this is what Louie has been
called, He has also been called
bombshell for his activity in sports.
There is never a dull moment when
he's near--he's a smoothy.
HANCOCK, ANNA MARIE--Here
is our jolly, red-cheeked miss, who
proves to be a value to anything
she undertakes. The student Coun-
cil got itself a real secretary in
Anna.
HEARD, THOMAS -- Colleges are
constantly on the lookout for bright
youth, and in Tom you find just
that. Our "Dusty" will soon tread
the campus of ISTC and bowl every-
one over with his twinkling hazel
eyes. 15

KAITO, JOSEPH -- "Elders Ridg's
Johnny Ray" as he is called, un-
fortunately doesn't include singing
in his future plans. His cheerful
nonchalance never ceases to amaze
his friends.
KEEIJEY, SAM--"Buzz" is the Ridges
example of a "Tall Texan" with a
bashful grin and a great interest in
farming. This is not his only inter-
est. He also holds an office in the
F. F. A.
KINTER, PATRICIA --Petite Fig-
ure, ready smile, neat grooming:
This discription accurately fits our
"Patsy". This lass has a very won-
derful future mapped out.
KLINGENSMITH, BRENDA-Checry
laughter combined with real ability
in typing result in a rosy future for
Brenda. Stately self assurance
makes her a noticeable figure in a
crowd.
KNEPSHIELD, R. LEWIS-Tal1slim-
ness accentuated by a friendly grin
is a characteristic which make Louie
so appealing. This young man is a
Future Farmer with a real future in
farming.
KNOPICK, WILLIAM --Bill's easy-
going manner puts everyone at his
ease except his opponent on the bas-
ket-ball court. He's some guard!
LAIVLBERT, JANE--janie's hair is a
key to her personality- -smooth. Her
infectious laughter usually starts a
chain reaction and she adds a lot to
any class she attends. She's a bright
ISTC scholarship winner.
LANGHAM, ELLEN -- A sparkling
personality with wit added makes
"Honey" a favorite among the
Ridgers. This will, in all proba-
bility, make her a wonderful nurse.

LENTZ, JANE --Everyone who has
seen an ERHS football game has
seen jane strutting at the head of
the band at the half. The band
has a very talented head in Janie.
What's more she is a star forward
on the girls' basketball team,
LENTZ, RONALD--Blonde-haired,
blue-eyed Ronnie can be seen each
spring working out on the track.
He is especially good at running the
mile, which was shown when he
came in second in the state meet.
Good, isn't he?
MACHAK, ARTHUR-Popular with
the ladies, friends with the boys--
that's Art, our "boy with the dia-
mond personality." We feel that
in whatever he attempts he's sure
to succeed.
MADAY, SAMUEL--A happy-go-
lucky teenager is Sam, whose brown
eyes show a sparkle that's hard to
beat. l-Ie's another one with "per-
sonality plus" and is also a very
well-dressed lad.
MARAFKA, JOHN --"Roxie" likes
to joke, buthe's notjokingwhen it
comes to basketball or to future
plans. The machinist's union will
welcome him into their ranks come
graduation day.
MARAF KA, LARRY -- Bright- eyed
Larry has great possibilities as a
college student. ISTC will have a
hand in developing those possibili-
ties. Besides doing excellent work
in school, he is a good worker both
alone and on the basketball court.
MARTIN, BETTY -- With a digni-
fied air about her, Betty can be seen
roaming the halls and going to
classes with quite a few good friends.
Dignity doesn't make her snobbish,
however, for she is a most friendly
lass.
MORGAN, JAMES - -Brown-haired,
brown-eyed jim is Elders Ridge's
answer to the perfect dream guy.
Easy going, humorous, and good
natured, jim's traits will help him
in his future.

NAGG, ANDREW--"In the Army
Now" will be this nice lad's theme
song in the not-too-distant future.
And will trade four years of his
time for 'all the benefits an army
hitch can give.
NELSON, RICHARD -- No future
planned yet, but we think a clever
lad like Rich will think of' some-
thing. Meanwhile he manages to
derive enjoyment wherever he can,
which is a useful accomplishment.
ORGOVAN, JOSEPH -- "P enner"
maintains C1 manner of quiet humor
about him that makes him an easy
person to like and get along with.
But speed, not humor is his motto
on the foot-ball and baseball teams,
PENNINGTON, LOIS -- Lois is a
"lass with the delicate air", with
a future in mind. Meanwhile, she
contents herself with being a girl
who makes her friends eyes sparkle
with laughter.
PLISKA, JOSEPH--"Kuba" as he is
known to everyone must like the
colors blue and white, for upon
leaving the "Alma Mater" he will
enter the Navy blue and whites.
PODOLAN, MARTHA -- Bright,
brown eyes that twinkle when she
laughs, makes Marthaavery plea-
sant companion. Her smile charms
young and old alike and she Ere-
quently uses it to gain friends.
POLOFF, PAULINE--Our "Halls of
Ivy" will be devoid of one of the
quivtest misses who ever roamed
them when Pauline leaves. This
quietness is not to be confused with
shyness though. She is one of our
most friendly lasses.
POYDENCE, CHARLES -- "Chuck"
has already had a taste of the salt,
sea, which must have had a humor-
ing effect on him for he is as even-
tempered a man as any employer
would hire on the spot.

PRIDE, JAMES--Everyone's friend
oflong standing, "Archie", is cer-
tain to make a success of himself
in the outside world just as he did
at the Ridge in management of
business,
RUSH, MARLENE--"Sally" is fre-
quently seen behind the wheel of
her green and cream "Chevy". A
very likeable girl, she walks to
classes and roams at noon with Cl
happy twinkle and a winning grin.
SALVA, JACK--Jack is the clean-
cut, boy-next-door type. Perhaps
that is why he is popular with every-
one.. That, along with his charac-
ter, will make him a fine college
Candidate.
SHIRLEY, TWILA -- "Twi" has
achieved fame for her pony tail
and for her sweet smile. This is
one girl with a definite future in
mind. Could it be marriage? She
can be seen roaming the roads in
a blue Ford.
SLANSKY, EDMUND-Good-natup
ed "Smokey" is quiteaguy the kids
agree, and he's quite a football
player and track man agree the
coaches. Need anymore be said?
He's an all-round guy.
TAMSKI, ELAINE-Humor unlimit-
ed seems to be the motto of our
"Coffa". Her laugh has been heard
by all-weven those who have merely
seen her--which shows she has a
constant supply of it.
TAMSKI, JAMES-That laugh down
the hall was only Jim sounding off
again. He is usually the life of the
party wherever he is and we bet he
even peps up the football team, on
which he has played for three years.
TOMEI, DIANA -- Diana's a good
little managerm-both of business
and her own affairs. What better
qualifications could be found for a
future business teacher? All this
and a beautiful smile, too?

TRESSLER, NANCY--Perhaps the
shortest girl in the class, Nancy is
by no means the shortest in temper
or brains. The science and home
ecomornics departments are bright-
ened by her presence in them.
WALTERS, FREDA--A chatter-box
with green eyes and almost-red
hair, Freda maintains the old adage,
"Laugh and the world laughs with
you. " Her strong alto is heard in
the chorus.
WRIGHT, HARVEY--Another pro-
duct of the Keystone State's F. F. A.
He has out-standing ability for agri-
culture and pursues this field avidly.
He includes this in his future plans,
also.
SKOVENSKI, ELEANOR--As a grad
of 1955, "El's" picture was omitted
from its rightfulplace, withher own
classmates. We were very sorry to
have done this., However, she is a
perky lass and was the belle of the
ball in high school and still is,
though she has left her place in the
old "Alma Mater. "
The graduates will remember the concession stand at one of their last track meets

Treasurer DOD-na Swfufak
Advisor Mrs. Nancy Campbell
The juniors, like countless junior classes through the years at E. R. H. S, , had the biggest problem
that would confront them in their high school days: financing the trip to Kennywood Park and, of course,
their own fiom, of which the theme was "The Song of the Islands. " To raise money, the imaginative
class, along with the new junior class advisor, Mrs. Campbell, racked their brains for new and old pro-
jects. They came up with several good ideas, After much prodding and pushing, enough money was
raised for both projects.
The juniors look forward eagerly to their next year, and knowing that will be their last at E. R. H. S
many of them will try hard to improve themselves during their remaining year in high school.

The sophomore class, since leaving the junior high school, has gained more prestige in the
school than before. Naturally they tried to live up to their reputation. Less silliness and more dignity
marked this promotion. Finally they were there.
The new sophomores got busy immediately and elected a crackerjack group of officers. With
them and their advisor, Mr. Ralston, the class had different money-making projects. They sold blue
and white Elders Ridge caps. Their biggest event however, was a joint dance with the junior class, with
the imaginative theme of "Hearts in Rhythm. " This was a memorable beginning for their first year in
senior high.

Mr. William Heard
The freshmen can congratulate themselves on being one of the first Freshman classes to be
so active at the Ridge. Instead of waiting till their sophomore or junior years to start raising money
to finance their junior Prom, they decided tl1ey'd begin early. Among the projects they planned
was a Freshman Class Play and cn class dance.
Aside from the money-making projects they had many other interesting experiences. The
Freshman boys may remember the junior F. H. A. party they were invited to. As an interesting
variation to the party, a king and queen were chosen.
The Freshmen agree that it was certainly an interesting year for them.

At the end of last year the officers of the Student
Council were elected by an all school election, the first time
such a thing has been done at E.R.H.S. At their regular
meetings the opinions and problems of their classmates are
discussed. The Student Council must give its permission for
dances to be held, cmd for other social events. Their big
event of the year was an all-school clean up month in March,
which served to better the school.

The Bible Club has been formed by students having an
interest in and appreciation of the Bible. The club dis-
cusses all the problems presented to them. The main
idea is to develop a better interpretation ofthe Bible.
Main topics discussed with students were the life of jesus
and the Hebrew customs and life. It has achieved its
goal quite well during the year.

This year these girls are independent of the Senior F. H. A. Their club is contributing its services
to the school by helping to raise money to purchase new equipment for the Home EC. Department.
This was done by vending candy, and a few other projects. They are looking forward to attending
the farm show at Harrisburg next year.

The Future Nu.rses.Club is just what its name implies.
Newly formed this year, the c1ub's young hopefuls were
introduced to the duties of nursing by the following pro-
jects: a trip to Torrance State Hospital, giving shots,
and learning many things about nursing from a genuine
nurse - their sponsor, Mrs. Moore.

The Science-Projectionist Club is one of the most 31111, Pr llliam
useful clubs in the school. This club aids the other esldenfl
clubs in their projects such as Variety Shows, etc. by
taking care of lighting effects. It also shows the movies
which bring enjoyment to the whole school. One pro-
ject that the club completed during the year was putting
on a Science Demonstration Show, which was enjoyed
by all.

The Varsity "R" made up of boys who have earned
one letter or more during their years in sports. Their
annual project, selling fruit and nut Easter eggs, ful-
filled all expectations of earnings. All the boys worked
hard and deserve credit for their integrity.
So, fellow students, we have presented the useful organizations and activities to you on the last
few pages. These activities are not something to survey and envy. They are for you--they are
made up of people like you. You had a part in them and they were a part of you. "Not for a
chosen few, but for all who want to participate:" this could well be a motto for each of these clubs.
Clubs provide a healthy outlet for talents, emotions, and energies. They have a large hand in
developing you socially and mentally. Your personality is developed by social contacts and your
mental facilities are developed by your being kept on your toes and helping to make projects suc-
cessful. This is especially true of the first "useful" organizations.
Let's all get behind these extracurricular activities, now that we have all the facts about them
before us, but for heaven's sake fas we've been told many timcsl don't let them interfer with school
work!

BEHIND THE SCENES
The three groups shown on the following two pages perform what you might call "behind the scenes duties. "
With the exception of the Joint Board, all of these men are seen every day of the school year, serving the
school and taxpayers of two townships.
The joint Board is the lawmaking body of the school, which is to be compared with the House of Repre-
sentatives in Congress. All important school issues must pass the joint Board for approval. Members are
elected from Young Township, West Lebanon Independent, and Kiski Townships.
The janitors' duties are well known. It is they who keep the school in good condition.
The bus drivers, besides actually driving the busses, must do many other things. Mediating quarrels,
and being policemen and fathers to the children who ride their busses, these few men play a very important
part in the school, for without their help, the school would have fewer students, but these would be leg-
weary.
