Class History On the day of September 5, 1958 we, twenty-five eager Freshmen entered the halls of York High School. Waiting to meet us in our homeroom with a big smile of assurance was our class sponsor Miss Aigier. We got right down to business and elected our class officers, with Shirley Moyer, president, Les Hill, vice- presidentg Mary Ann Schiller, secretary, Lorraine Weisz, treasurerg and joe Risner, Student Council representative. Through the rest of our high school days we were to carry with us our class motto of To Thine Own Self Be True . Next September we were back again ready to go as Sophomores, all twenty- two of us. Man with all the power was joe Risner with jim'Missler close by. Keeping our valuable records was Mary Ann Burk. Darlene Norman guarded our millions while Shirley Moyer voiced our opinions in Student Council. Backing us all the way was our class spon'sor Miss Woessner. This year we found ourselves as twenty-one juniors. Our first highlight of that year was the big success of our junior Play, Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House , due only to the good-ole sense of humorof Mrs. Zanger. Later on that year Miss Woessner's patience was really put to a test as we converted the gym into a ballroom for our junior-Senior Prom Sweethearts Ball . This proved to be a lot of work but the winning compliments we received from everyone really made it worth while. This was also the year we were delighted at the arrival of a small package containing our beautiful class rings. We chose our class flower the Red American Beauty Rose . To make money for our trip to Washington D.C . we sold candy, put on dances, bake sales and car washes. Heading all the many activities was Rodger Gerhardstein assisted by Leslie Hill. The pencil work was taken care of by Shirley Moyer, while Darlene Norman and Mary Ann Burk took care of our loot. Gerry Verhoff presented our brilliant ideas to the Student Council, with Chris Hayward right behind him. This year we entered the halls of York as twenty-two Seniors for our last year. Once again we have Miss Woessner as our class sponsor. Leslie Hill is our ma.n for president with jim Missler to take over in case of an emergency. Shirley Moyer is still pushing the pencil, while Gerry Verhoff and Mary Ann Burk are taking care of the treasury department. joe Risner and Dan Richmond are the lucky fellows for Student Council. Things are really going fast this year with Senior pictures, presenting our Comedy of Meet Corliss Archer , under the direction of Miss Aigler, all the frm of Prom night, ordering our beautiful invitations and name cards and our exciting trip to Washington D.C. Then comes the day we have all been waiting for GRADUATION! As we will soon walk up to the platform in our caps and gowns of royal blue and white to leave our high Ti school days behind, we realize the time has come all too soon. But proud and happy are we to say that we were all a part of York High School.

Carolglnklagner bequeath my ability to drive without a license to janet Hill. Lorraine Weisz bequeath my beautiful voice to anyone who thinks they can take care of it. I, I, 1, 1, I I r D Class Prophecy lcontj easily remember Shirley's remarks that she would never become a chicken owner . Well she must have changed her mind. Of all things there in front of me was none other than Chris Hayward. I yelled at her from the car window and she said she owned her own farm now and was happily married, raising a family. On the tractor with her was one of the kids a little red-head, with natural curly hair. That's Red for you. I got in touch with Carol Wagner, near Thompson High School, she did marry her guy from there, and they are now on the school board. She always was an avid fan of Thompson, and now doesn't give York a second thought. Oh, well! I bade everyone there, farewell, and flew on to Columbus to see an engage- ment of the well know Happy Wanderers. The one and only Miss Arlene Stucky is the leader of this well-known group. Their opening was really enjoyable and afterwards I rushed back stage to get an autograph of this old time friend. I also stopped by at the State Fair and found Tom Stimson, still teaching square dancing. His star student, turned out to be Joyce Smith, didn't that figure! I wonder if that's wedding bells I hear in the back ground. I'm sure that's what Tom Wants, come on joyce give in this time. Before leaving for home, I inquired as to the whereabouts of Rog Gerhard- stein. I was told he did graduate from Annapolis and is now stationed in Washing- ton, D.C. I made a quick trip there to find him working as a chauffer for the President. I had a short visit with him, and he told me he is still working his way to the Presidency. Good luck! Well I'm now on my way home to Arabia and hope to have a peaceful trip. Oh no! The gas tank is empty. I've been informed by the pilot, I have to jump, her goes! s-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-ol ---- o ---- n ---- g See you in the Mediterranean!!! I5 G
