In it may you share with us our dreams and fulfilments. The first yearbook was edited at Myerstown in 1921. After two years of publication it was discontinued. The class of '49 once again resumed the task and named it "The Myrialogf' We wish to continue this tradition, of gathering all our mementoes of Myers- town High School, and present them to you, our readers. TABLE OF CONTENTS ADMINISTRATION SENIORS UNDERCLASSMEN SPORTS ACTIVITIES FAIR EVENT OF THE YEAR ALMA MATER Faithful and true-hearted, Let us cheer our dear old High, 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 here's a cheer for her that we all love so well. Chorus J oyous 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 ne'er will yield. SCHOOL HISTORY The Hill School, which is located on North College Street, was erected as a result of the consolidation of the early limestone schools. The community library and the Hill School served as our educational institutions until the erection of our present high school. Architect, Edward Z. Scholl, and contractor, Andrew J. Fink, built our high school in 1915. The members of the first board of directors were Dr. D. U. Wolff, George Uhrich, Ephriam Bleistein, John Schoener, and Harry Line. We have had the following principals: 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 cornerstone of success," and "Wisdom is the birth of freedom." DEDICATION To Miss Kathryn Dech, we the Senior Class of '59 dedicate our annual year- book, the Myrialog. Miss Dech has given to many pupils of our student body a finer appreciation of music, chiefly in the vocal field. Beginning in Junior High School she made it possible for many of us to use our leisure time and vocal talent wisely. Re- hearsals of all musical groups Cnot forgetting the operettal, in preparation for spring concerts, occupied most of her time-not mentioning the extra hours that followed. In addition to this, her German classes also kept her in contact with other students of the school. For her helpful instruction, patience and humor we gratefully thank her. l lt AA .

This was "our" vear. Our Senior year had just about begun when we started preparing for the Fair. This was our last Fair as students and we made the most of it! Promptly after the Fair we began rehearsing for the Senior Play which was presented November 20 and 21. We reached our goals in l.andis and Landis and the magazine campaign. After several difficulties, we received our revsard: A fabulous three-day trip to the magificent New York City from the eleventh to the thirteenth of May. On May 22nd we had Class Night and May 24 and 25 were Bae- calaureate and Commencement respectively. Our last year was filled with joys and disappointments. but it was a year we shall never forget, Wc leave M.H.S. hesitantly, because it served as a place of learning and companion- ship with all our friends. We will cherish our memories we leave behind, and wish all the happiness and success wc have experienced to the future graduates of Myerstown High School.

Our first stop was in first grade with Miss Loose and Mrs. Snavely. We were promptly divided into three groups for our reading classes: the Robins, the Wrens, and the Bluebirds. All of us enjoyed the privilege of ringing the bell at recess. We made our next stop in second grade with the assistance of Mrs. Emerick and Mrs. Snavely. Here we were required to tell what we had for breakfast every morning. Finger- nail and handerchief inspections were daily routine occurrences. Miss Schell and Mrs. Snavely led us into third grade where we happily welcomed a new subject called division. Fourth grade was a happy year for we were promoted to the second floor and had our own private stairway. Mrs. Weaver and Mrs. Snavely helped us to put on a Columbus play for our parents. Competition was hot and heavy on those Weekly Reader Tests. Mrs. Groff helped us through fifth grade. We all made coal gardens as a class project. It was this year that we had a lover's quarrel between Rodney and Brian for the affections of Loretta Ziegler. We also worked in committees of four in our classes which in turn taught us to work together. Finally we reached the middle of our journey when we entered Mr. Snavely's sixth grade. This was the year of flying chalk and erasers. They almost always found their mark. We had a library of our own and enjoyed choosing our own books to read. We also had a private fire escape and many of us became members of the Safety Patrol. The next half of our journey landed us in the strange new world of seventh grade. Miss Fox and Mr. Hoffman explained the complicated routine of this place to us. We quickly became acquainted with Mr. Nitrauer and his faithful friend Betsy. Mrs. Brightbill and Mrs. Shover really had their troubles with us in eighth grade and we spent many nights after school. This year the Corn Sisters, Billy and Jan, made their debut in our assembly. We felt very important when we acquired the title of Freshmen. Mr. Batdorf and Mr. Bucher were our homeroom teachers. We were all completely baffled by our new subject, Algebra. Tenth grade brings with it thoughts of class jackets. We were very proud of them and wore them as often as possible. Mr. Gates and Mr. Henderson tried to teach us that "Silence is Golden." Biology class was the favorite subject of all the girls, especially when we dis- sected frogs, worms, and grasshoppers. Our class rings came with our Junior year and some of us passed them around many times. We were guided through this year by Miss Gudemann and Mr. Whitfield. Our class parties included an ice hockey game at Hershey and a night of bowling. Our major project was the Junior-Senior Prom, centering around the theme "Spanish Gardens." This year we also acquired double vision in the form of the Steiner twins. The Senior year was one of studies and numberless activities. In October the Fair made us proficient cooks along the line of French Fries and instant coffee-not overlooking the capable cooks and waitresses of the cafeteria. A very short course in dishwashing and drying was demonstrated in the kitchen during the three days of the Fair. Our major profit making project was Landis and Landis. Other projects pursued were magazine sales and the Senior Class Play entitled "Great Caesar's Ghost." Two short trips by the P. O. D. classes to the County Court House and Harrisburg were also included in the busy schedule of this our last year. The Myrialog Staff was kept busy planning, designing and assembling material for our annual year book. The immediate reward, looked forward to by all, was the trip to New York. This was closely followed by Class Day, Baccalaureate and finally, Graduation which was always our chief goal. Now that our journey is over, we shall all start in a new direction on life's highway of experience. We shall travel with the faith and the knowledge we have gained at Myerstown High School, and will always keep in mind, "It matters not how long we live, but how." CLASS WILL Be it remembered that we, the Class of "59", or is it "69", of the Myerstown High School, or is it the Hill School, of the County of Lebanon, and the state of Pennsylvania, or is it the state of Cbnfusion, publish and declare this as our first, or is it our last, will and testament hereby making null and void any writings here- tofore made.

Donnie and Ronnie Steiner will their identical looks to John Hain and Teddy Mays. Loretta Brandt wills her flirtatious ability to Pat Pfautz. Phyllis Leininger and Kathleen Miller will their blonde hair to Sandy Miller and Joyce Wagner. It is our sincere wish that these gifts will be deeply appreciated by the underclassmen. Signed, sealed, published, and declared as the will of the Class of "59", we have sub- scribed our names as witnesses thereto: Ruth E. Jeffers, witness Donald J. Kugle, witness CLASS PROPHECY As we look into the future to see the jobs and professions which we will be fulfilling in I979. we see that: Lee Blouch, Perry Como's understudy, has just opened Blouch's Tint Hair Salon -for discriminating women. Madam Troutman, who just returned from visiting her relatives abroad, was his first patron. Daniel Lengle has opened Big Buddies Body Builder Buses Bureau for doubtful Dodges. Mechanic Houtz and Machinist Wise are doing remarkably well at changing tires. Alice Schaeffer, growing money trees in Siberia, .has developed a ,combination ruble- dollar tree with the assistance of Lucifer the Librarian Lengle who is havmgidifflculty cataloging the money. However, with the able assistance of Thumpy Umbenhauer, it appears .as if the accounts will balance. David Lessig has been court-martialed from the Marines for failing'to hit the waste- basket with his chewing gum. Roy Sanger, and Bon Voyage Troutman, stationed on the S. S. Hawaian-Alaskan, failed to salute Lieutenants Garloff and Loeb and are now in 'the process of walking the plank. They are going to visit Davy Jones' Locker to return their uniforms. Entering the Women's Air Force are the new recruits Fay Himmelberger and Hot Rod Schaeffer. Quiet as a mouse Schoener scared them with a gigantic cymbal crash and Fill Her Up with a Scent of Gas Witter with a noiseless blowout. Tycoon Phillippy has organized East-West Manufacturing Plant where he makes glass Boola Hoops. Chief Tester Hoffman was just fired because he couldn't make them go around anymore since he stopped chewing gum. Salesman Siverling insisted that the glass Hoops were broken when truck drivers, Spinner and Filler Up Steiner, delivered them to him. Short Farmer Long has just found the ideal way to raise lemon-meringue trees. In fact he had so many trees that he had to hire two foresters, Timber Brubaker and Smokey Steltz, to consume the excess sap. However, when Choppy Hess saw the yellow forest, fol- lowing the instinct of his name, he started chopping down the trees. Alice Bollinger was teaching her fifth grade the way to ask questions correctly when a squeaky voice from the back of the room said, "2+2:5." David Hippostock is teaching Russian history in Spain. Senor Shenk, who tried to teach active verbs to his Spanish class, is now recovering in a rest home for tired teachers. Faye Sterner has just taken her class on a three minute jaunt to the moon. She wanted her class to see the size of basketballs there. Director Donley's one man symphony is touring Myerstown. He is playing his latest composition, Concerto in F Sharp Flat, mostly flat. Mademoiselle Ziegler and Femme Kohl, famous costume designers, are presenting their summer collection for the unconscious housewife. Madame Bordner and Frau Kratzer were the first to purchase these feed bag creations. Dressmakers, Sew-a-Stitch Houtz and Run-a-Seam Miller, were kept so busy that Secretary Biever had to help them in addition to taking care of lawsuits from chicken feed producers. Mr. Blair, C.P.A., Chicken Protector Associate, has a million dollar suit before the Superb Court against her, saying that she is degrading chickens. Electrode Kopala, static-electricity engineer for making telephone operators and chemistry teachers all shookup, is working on his next victim, Chief Operator Neiswender. H2804 Bicksler, chemical engineer for Morris' Inc., has found a super duper waving lotion called Morris Grumbine's Harem Lotion for beautician Romaine Morris. Patrolman Gettle recently received a medal for capturing Speedy Burkhart, Medical secretary, while she was on her way to the Drop Dead Hospital on Living Street. Secretary Leininger was forced to take over and could not figure what filing system Speedy used. Finally she found that all papers were filed in the desk and Alca Seltzer was in Speedy's filing cabinet. Russell Spitler has finally finished college and is now a professional photographer. His first secretary, Clown Althouse, resigned because she was going to be married. He finally hired Twenty Words a Second Fisher to fill the position. Because Spitler studied with Bob Cummings, he takes only well composed pictures, with models of course. Heading his list are Winking Brandt and Shaky Pat Miller. Nancy Geist, secretary for Yesterday's Food Today Restaurants, received a complaint from Waitress Nevin. She insisted that Hungry Oberholtzer ate her check so she wouldn't have to pay it. Two other diners, Miss Firestlne and Miss Boeshore, who are also secretaries, noticed that the check was still in the waitress' pocket.

This patrol was or- ganized shortly after Palmyra Lebanon County Alito Club began sponsoring school patrols. Mr. Snavely was the second advisor and held this position for four years. This year the Hill School Safety Patrol has Mr. Martin Chapman as its advisor. Each year the Myerstown patrols march in the annual Safety Patrol Parade which is held in Palmyra. During the years I936-4l representatives from Myerstown attended the National Safety Patrol Parade in Washington, D. C. On the completion of a semester's service the members receive a certificate and badge. Letters are given to Junior High members for their outstanding services. The patrol takes a traditional bus trip which is sponsored by the police department and the faculty advisors. These trips included Trexler.Game Farm. Hershey Police Barracks. Lebanon County Jail. Miniature Village. Pennsylvania State Museum. and the State Capitol. The Patrol proudly displays a record of no accidents or injuries to pupils on patrol- covered corners in twenty-eight years of service. 52791373 T5 VARSITY BASKETBALL TEAM Center-Coach Hess Left to right-D.

The Annual Community Fair directors were as follows: President, Charles L. Moyerg Vice President. Robert F. Smith: Secretary, Earl J. Brubaker: Treasurer, Edgar Landis. These first directors gave our Fair an excellent beginning. The purpose of this community venture. in a broad sense, is to promote the interests of Agriculture. Home Making. and Community Commerce: and to effect a spirit of good-will and cooperation between the various realms of community interest. In a more specific way, the Myerstown Community Fair seeks to perform many educational functions. lt developes rural. town and school leadership by actual cooperation in the conduct of the Fair and educates by providing best products to be viewed bv neople of the community. Each year the privilege of exhibiting products at the Fair is extended to all thc patrons in Myerstown and anyone else in Lebanon County. The officers of the Community Fair in 1958 were the following: President, Arthur Alspachg Vice President. Harvey Nitrauerg Treasurer, Larry Mentzer: Secretary, John Sherman. The grades from seventh to twelfth each are given a specific item of food to sell at the Fair. ln this way the grades earn money for their class treasuries. Regular meals are served in the cafeteria provided by the senior class. In l958 the Myerstown Community Fair was the only fair conducted in Lebanon County and enlisted the cooperation of the people of the entire county to aid in making this institution one of state wide recognition. lt is a three-day affair, free to the public, featuring entertainment. athletics. educational exhibits and commercial exhibits, without objectionable features. ln previous years there were over one-thousand exhibitorsg that made over three-thousand entries in various departments of the products that they exhibited. The commercial exhibitors displayed their products under the large tents. 855 KDIT FN 'W X Ill , Wx .I ' WI , l Wt in f ov ,R X o N , XXX XX W lffllll 'ff 4. ' N M ' 'I II Al I . ' ff!
