I w 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 Joyous and ever loyal, Let us boost for our old High, Let eviry 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 school. The community library and the Hill School served as our educational institutions until the erection of our present high school. Architect, Edward Z. Schell, and contractor, Andrew J. Fink, built our high school in l9l5. V The members of the first board of directors were Dr. D. U. Wolff, George Uhrich, Ephriam Bleistein, John Schoener, and Harry Kline. 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.

FOREWORD We present this Myrialog as a fulfillment of what we feel is one of the fine traditions of our school. The Class of 1960 has lived together, played together, and studied together. The twelve wonderful years were filled with precious moments from learning to playing hopscotch to receiving a diploma. These memories we have tried to recap- ture and record in the succeeding pagesg they bring back memories to us, perhaps they will to you, too. With this we invite you to turn the page . . .

DEDICATION We the class of 1960, are proud to dedicate our yearbook, The Myrialog, to Mr. Robert Hoffman, whose wise counsel, patience, and willingness to help us have been a source of inspiration. In seventh grade he helped to guide us through our first year in new sur- roundings, and he has served as boys' physical education and health teacher for nine years. Mr. Hoffman also serves as coach of soccer and junior high basketball and in 1957 brought Myerstown High School the state soccer championship. For his helpful instruction, for his unfailing efforts, for his humor and under- standing, and for his good sportsmanship, we sincerely wish to thank him.
