In the future it will stand as a lasting memento of our deeds and experi- ences Waiting to be brought back to students, parents, teachers and friends by a flick of the cover. The first edition of a yearbook appeared at Myerstown High School in 1921. It continued for two years and then lapsed until the Class of 1949 picked up the tradition and named it "The Myria- log." Each class since that time has carried on Where the last left off. i We, the Class of "56", carry this tradition forward to remind us of our grand times and pleasant associations made during our years at Myerstown High School. .4- Dedication We, the Class of 1956, proudly and sincerely dedicate our yearbook, the Myrialog, to Mrs. Ruth T. Lantz, school librarian. From the time she came to Myerstown High School in 1946 she has been giving of her time and effort willingly and ably in the managing of the school library, advising the Library Club, and sponsoring the publication of the News- gram. Her great assistance, patience, wise coun- sel and unfailing efforts in forwarding our edu- cation will long be remembered. -5 Tribute To Miss Mabel Immel, who has counseled, assisted, and urged us on to finality, we pay tribute. Her outstanding work in helping us raise enough money for our Sr. year, by successful Landis and Landis and Magazine projects was appreciated by all. She worked untiringly, will- ingly and generously with us on our Sr. play and the yearbook. Truly our Sr. adviser deserves this tribute in deep appreciation of all her help and assist- ance, I + Myrialog Staff Row I-William Derr, Doris Lengle, Lawrence Shenk, Ruth Schaeffer, Loren Kline, Phyllis Artz, Constance Yeagley.

Our custodians have done a good job and thus we wish to express our thanks to them for a job well done. Of course, it is each students duty to help them, and we hope each one will do so in the future. ..24.. WW Facultv "Arc you with us?" "Take it home and work on it!

Memoirs of the Senior Year Our senior year found us working very hard in order to raise money for our trip to Nevs York. We began in October at the fair. where we sold eofTee and french fries: as well as work- ing in the cafeteria, ln November we rehearsed on our play. "Let Me Out of Here." Two per- formances were given on November I7 and IX. ln addition, we were all busy selling Landis and Landis Club Memberships, and magazine subscriptions. At the close of our twelve years ot' studying, we were rewarded with a glorious. three-day trip to New York. After the return from our trip. rehearsals for Class Day began. Our Class Day exercises were held on May IX, Bacca- laureate on May 20. and Commencement on May 22, Now we are entering upon a new experience. We hope the wonderful instruction and ex- periences we have received in our school days will guide our paths to happiness and sueeess. mm? Kina? 2-. 9'-wtf- Q.s2aEfz'f.si .53- Eime 1- EN 5?

UUEM-Bw NEB Miogm A .suv-Em E202 2-az Class History In 1943, forty-five boys and girls presented their bright, shining faces to Miss Loose. We launched our school careers in the high school first grade room. Under the leadership of Miss Loose we soon adjusted to our new surroundings. Our 'first public appearance occurred when many of us participated in the rhythm band in the operetta. Mrs. Emerich was the next captain for our crew. By now, we could read and write quite well. We became a part of the Hill School in Second Grade. Our next public appearance was in the play, "Hansel and Gretel and The Talking Trees." Progress was also being made in the Achey-Ranaldi romance. Poetry books and arithmetic workbooks were introduced to us in third grade. Under Miss Schell's watchful eye, we developed into fine scholars. Additional letter writing in the form of love notes became a common practice among the students. Fourth grade was an exciting year. Miss Dech helped us build a house right in our classroom. Many of us joined the junior band this year. Remember the mouse, "Beady Eyes," and Gene Lessig's crow? Mrs. Groff taught us to construct weather maps in fifth grade. We became the world's worst weather predictors. We also began those now familiar book reports. 1949 found us at our goal-sixth grade. Mr. Snavely appointed many of the boys to be patrols. A new student from Germany joined our class. Her name was Valli and we took turns teaching her the English language. In sixth grade Joanna Moore spent most of her spare time behind the piano in Siberia. We had fun duck- ing chalk and through the use of the fire escape we found it was fun having fire drills. We started out all over again in seventh grade. We felt lost in the big halls of M.H. S. Mr. Reed and Mr. Mitchell tried to guide us through this year. We were joined by our friends from Jackson Township and our total enrollment was nine- ty-six. By eighth grade we felt quite comfortable at Myerstown High. Mr. Reed and Mr. Mitchell again acted as home-room advisers. This year our class was divided into three sections. As punishment a teacher put one section in the corner for going to the window and watching the Senior Band which was practicing outside. We began making our mark in school in ninth grade. Members of our class could be found in almost every organizotion. Mr. Brunner and Mr. Fake had our homerooms. As freshmen we also took a very memorable trip to Gettysburg. Tenth grade was an important year. Under the guidance of Mr. Batdorf and Mr. Lantz, we chose our class colors, black and white, and ordered our snappy class jackets. We worked very hard in our junior year. This was probably the most difiicult year as far as lessons were concerned. We received our class rings in December. Strangely enough, several sophomore girls were soon wearing junior class rings. Our prom was a big success. The theme was "Oriental Gardens" and the gym was very beautifully decorated. Mr. Reed and Mr. Lantz worked hard helping with our activ- ities. Bobby Hess started getting his reputation as a jokster by setting a Ere cracker off in History class, for which he was well rewarded by Mr. Klopp. Our Senior year was definitely the big year. We made lots of money at the fair, and on our Landis and Landis and Magazine sales. Our class play, "Let Me Out of Here," was a big success. Mrs. Saunders, Mrs. Lutz, and Mr. Fake all acted as homeroom advisers. Mr. Fake, having no respect for the dignity of seniors, forced many of us to attend eight o'clock classes if we were late. Our year was climaxed by a trip to New York, Class Night, and Commencement. -.90...

Class Prophecy Come with me to the land of deep dark mystery, THE FUTURE, as in the year of 1956, we see our classmates-some are failures, some successes, mostly successes, however. ARE YOU READY?

After a slow start, the Mohawks came along in the second half of the season and wound up in a tie for first place with North Lebanon. However, we dropped the playoff game to North Lebanon l-0. Coach Hoffman was well pleased with the boys' great determination during the second half comeback. Over all, their season's record stood at seven wins, four losses and two tics. Three of our boys made the Lebanon County All-Star team-Loren Kline at center for- ward, Neal Dohner at fullback and Starr Miller at halfback. Making the second team were Larry Shenk as the goalie, Connie Youse, Gene Lessig, Jerry Yeagley and Billy Fulk, all linemen. Our J.V. team played three games, beating Lancaster 5-3 and 2-0 and lost to Eastern Lebanon 2-0. non 2-0. SCHEDULE A Annville ........ ........ 1 ...... M ohawks A Lancaster H.S ...... I ....

The Senior Tri-Hi-Y was organized during the school year 1942-43, under the leadership of Miss Betty Anne Rutherford, who was also leader the following year with Miss Esther Zug. This was the first year of Miss Zug's teaching at Myerstown. That year they organized and coached a Tri-Hi-Y basketball team, which remained in effect until the school board hired a physical Ed teacher. This teacher then organized a high school team. In February, 1944, the first valentine dance was held at Myerstown. This was and still is the event of the year. Miss Betty Anne Rutherford left Myerstown in 1944, and Miss Zug assumed the full lead- ership of the club. Mrs. Helen Brightbill came to Myerstown as a Physical Ed teacher in 1950-51. She assisted Miss Zug with the club and was a great asset. In 1951-52, when Miss Zug resigned, Miss Francene Swope became the leader of the club. Then in 1953-54 Miss Welsh was the leader. Activities of the club are: Christmas Pageant, Singing in the halls at Christmas, Decorating the classroom doors, Services at Old Folks' home, Christmas Party for first grade, Valentine Dance, Easter Pageant, Attending Holy Week services in a group.

Members of the club served in the library to help to prepare books and run the desk and miscellaneous jobs which help the students. In 1945 Mrs. Ruth Lantz became our Librarian, and under her advisorship the club has grown to a membership between 45 and 50 boys and girls. Between 1949 and 1951 there were so many 'members that the club had to be divided be- tween a Junior and Senior group. This became unwieldy and the membership was restricted to one main club of 45 girls. The club continues to provide all types of Library service for the school and in addition conducts numerous other activities. The club has taken part in our school assemblies, and has presented plays, quiz shows. and a minstrel show. The club has also given radio plays over WLBR for different occasions. ln the first year of the Hallowe'en parade the Library club won the first prize on their Cinder- ella iioat. Starting in 1953 the Library club and the F. H. A. club combined efforts to put on the Christmas tea for the faculty. The library club decorated the library, sent the invitations and provided the entertainment. The F. H. A. prepared refreshments and served as fioaters and provided small favors for each guest. The presidents of the two clubs poured tea and coffee at the serving table. Awards were given to members of the Library club for service of three years. Awards are also given for outstanding service. Officers for 1955-56 are Ruth Schaeffer, President, Nancy Fink, Vice President, Priscilla Ebling, Secretary, Faye Fulk, Treasurer. The adviser is Mrs. Lantz. -135- Future Farmers of America Row 1-W.
