Alma Mater Faithful and true-hearted, Let us cheer our dear old I-ligh, We revere her and defend her, and her colors proudly fly: We will stand for her united, Of her deeds we gladly tell, Her colors streaming, Glad faces beaming, So herefs a cheer for her that we all love so well. Chorus Joyous and ever loyal, Let us boost for our old High, Let ev'ry heart sing, Let ev'ry voice ring, There's no time to grieve or sigh. It's ever onward, our course pursuing, May defeat ne'er our ardor cool, But, united, We will boost for her, our Old High School. II Honors she has taken, On the track and with the ball, May she always rank the highest, May her colors never fall. There's no other that can match her, When her team is on the field, Her boys the fleetest, Her girls the sweetest, Then here's a cheer for her, for her who neier will yield. Our School History As the result of the consolidation of the early limestone schools, the Hill School on North College Street was erected in 1885. The community library, once our high school, and the Hill School served as our town's educational institution until the erection of our present high school. Our high school has been standing since 1915 and compliments greatly the work of its architect, Edward Z. Scholl, and its contractor, Andrew J. Fink. Dr. D. U. Wolff, George Uhrich, Ephriam Bleistein, John Schoener, and Harry Line were members of the first board of directors. We have had the following principals as supervisors of the school: J. J. Strahl, Ralph Davenport, Chester Hartzler, Henry Hollinger, Walter Richter, John Auld, and presently Harvey L. Nitrauer. Engravings on the cornerstones of our school are: Education is the COYIICI- stone of successj' and Wisdom is the birth of freedom. School Colors - BLACK AND GOLD

Foreword In years to come the pages of this Myrialog will inspire the class of '57 to live again the treasured days - gay, sad, average or super-special days that made up a wonderful high school career. Seniors of Myerstown High produced the first year book in 1921, and the two succeeding classes continued the adventure. Then there was none until 1949 when Seniors called their annual the Myrialog.'l This custom has taken root, and the staff hopes this edition is truly bringing it to flower. May it be a beautiful memento of busy days at M.H.S. This book is made possible, not only through the efforts of the staff, but also through the cooperation and kindness of many other people. We wish to thank our Principal and the entire faculty for the assistance rendered in preparing this book. Our efforts would have been useless without the patrons of this annual. Finally, we thank the Church Center Press for the fine work it has done. Our sincere gratitude and appreciation to all these many fine people. We hope this 1957 Myrialog will be enjoyed by everyone. As the steps of progress march on, we will still hold on to our memories and look back upon them as stepping stones of our lives.

Dedication We, the class of 1957, grateful to him for his many services, dedicate Your yearbook, 'The Myrialogi' to Mr. Dwight C. Fake. During our high school years, it was our pleasure to have him as our history, civics, and problems of democracy teacher. During our Senior Year, he served as one of our homeroom teachers. Many times his wise counseling, willingness to help, patience, cooperation, dynamic personality, and abund- ant sense of humor were a source of inspiration to us. His ceaseless strivings to forward our education will be memories cherished by our class.
