Krick During the last five years we have witnessed the most en- thusiastic effort in providing improved educational facilities for the pupils and teachers of Pennsylvania since the adoption of the Public School law in 1834. School districts are being consolidated to provide for better administration and millions of dollars are being spent to provide for adequate housing. Both the state and the local districts are making a concerted effort to put Pennsylvania into the forefront in the way of educational opportunities for its public school population. We are fortunate in Cocalico Union School District that both the Board of School Directors and the citizens were favorably dis- posed' toward the organization of a Union School District. We now occupy one of the most modern schools in the country, both in the way that it is constructed and in the equipment that it houses. lt exists for the pupils, and since there is yet no substitute for a good education, we trust that you will take full advantage of your school's offerings. A ' John P. Krick, Supervising Principal To the class of 1956: Turmoil Strife Chaos These words typify the troubled world of which you graduating seniors are be- coming citizens. You are fortunate in having been offered the tools of knowledge neces- sary for successful living in such an environment. My sincerest hope is that the use to which you put these tools may in some small way help to remedy the existing circumstances so as to make them read: Peace Harmony Order Best of luck to you on a successful endeavor. Donald F. Peters To the class of 1956: To you goes the honor of being the first class to complete a full year within the walls of the new Cocalico Union Jr.-Sr. High School. It is my sincerest hope that the advantages of these modern facilities may have aided you in launching upon your chosen careers. 1 wish you, in your endeavors, a degree of success, which may be so great that it shall be an inspiration to the members of our future graduating classes. Ralph F. Lutz To the class of 1956: My most hearty and sincere congratulations upon reaching the pinacle of high school achievement-that of graduation. 1 hope the knowledge, training, and experiences you have gained thus far, will serve as a springboard for you to render greater service to mankind in the future.

They attend- ed one school together. Students from Gov. Mifliin, East Cocalico, and Denver High School joined together as one to make the class of '56. Four years ago they were three separate classes attending schools as freshmen. There were 4-5 freshmen at E.C. and 65 at Denver. Adams- town students then attended Gov. Mifflin and were parteof a large class. Freshmen at East Cocalico High School were under the guidance of Mrs. Gerstenlauer. We were now in high school and as one money making project already planning for highlights of high school, the Jr.-Sr. Prom and Washington trip, we sold Cocalico Union sweat- shirts. A class Halloween and Christmas party was heldlfor the en- joyment of everyone. We chose as our leaders these officers-Eugene Heft-Pres., Joyce Fitterling-Vice-Pres., Joyce Flicker-Sec., and John White-Treas. At the end of the year we spend a day at Hershey Park. At the same time the Denver students were getting their first whirl at high school and making new acquaintances with their new classmates from West Cocalico School District, who when they be- came freshmen attended D.H.S. Our new Latin teacher and our ad- visor Miss Daily guided us through our freshman year. Our officers to lead us through the year were Ronald Fortna-Pres., Robert Getz- Vice-Pres., Jeanette Gensemer-Sec., and Nevin McQuate-Treas. A climax to the year for both the East Cocalico and Denver students was the arrival of our freshman rings of which we were very proud. One year of high school has passed and now we were Sophomores, no longer to be classified as underclassmen but to have a part and be a part in Senior high. When we entered our Sophomore year the Denver and East Cocalico students appointed ajcommittee to pick their class colors. They chose green and gray and we ordered jackets and hats in those colors. Now we were called the class of '56 of C.U.H.S. At E.C. there were 41 of us with Mr. Hoffmaster as our class advisor. We had these officers: Lowell Haws-Pres., Clifford Hirneisen- Vice-Pres., Carol Sweigart-Sec., and John White-Treas. We had a food sale at Fritztown and a Roller Skating Party in efforts to raise money. We held a Biology Fair of materials we collect- ed over the summer to be displayed for our parents. At the end of the year we went to Hershey Park and took a fishing trip to Indian River. At Denver the Sophomores were given the honor of initiating the Frosh. We were also allowed to make preparations with the Seniors for the annual Halloween Dance. We had a very successful hayride, bake sale, and the Sweetheart Dance in February. The Sophomore officers were Maryanne Miller-Pres., Robert Getz-Vice-Pres., Linda Levenson-Sec., and Ralph Roseboro-Treas. The following year we became Juniors. The highlight of this year was receiving our class rings. For this event -a committee from E.C. was appointed to meet with the committee from Denver to select the style. The rings ranged from pearl to onyx, with variations of ruby, gold, or blue spinel. We also had the privilege to hold the Jr.-Sr. Prom for the Seniors, Denver to have the Prom in the new C.U. gym. The theme of the Prom was Davy J ones' Locker. East Cocalico presented their theme '4Under Paris Skiesi' at E. C. We both worked hard to make these big nights successful. Funds for these events were raised by making candy by the students at Denver High and a roller skating party at NSinky g a bake sale, and a food sale at Fritztown were held by E.C. Many E.C. students spend their last day of school at Hershey Park. Officers for the year at E.C. were Lowell Haws-Pres., Clifford Hirneisen-Vice-Pres., Joyce Rathman-Sec., Joyce Fitterling-Treas., and Mr. Drumm, our class advisor. Denver chose these officers to serve during the year of 554- and 755: Robert Getz-Pres., Ralph Roseboro-Vice-Pres., Linda Levenson-Sec., Larry Meckley-Treas., and our class advisor was Mrs. Stayer. ln the fall of 1955 we entered the halls of the new Cocalico Union Jr.-Sr. High School as Seniors, being the first Senior class to attend there. Adamstown, East Cocalico, and Denver joined as one class consisting of 54 members. For the first time since the beginning of our jointure the Adamstown students became a part of the union. Election of class officers was held at the beginning of the year. We chose these people to be our leaders during the last year of high school. They are: Lowell Haws-Pres., Harold Sweigart-Vice-Pres., Maryanne Miller-Sec., and CliffordiHirneisen-Treas. Our class advisor is Miss Rentschler. We are separated into two sections, alphabetically by our last names, into rooms 215 and 205. Homeroom 215, 12A, had as their homeroom teacher, Mr. Beam. 12B in 205 had Miss Rentschler. We held a Christmas Party for the class at the home of Linda Levenson, which was loads of fun for everyone. We sold programs at football games, sold refreshments at basketball games, made candy, sold pen and pencil sets, held two dances, and a roller skating party at Sinking Springs as some of our ways to raise money for the long- awaited Washington trip planned for June. In March we presented our class play uOut of the Frying Pan a down to earth comedy. We selected our class flower, the Talisman Rose and our motto, You can never plan the future by the pastn and with this thought, we the class of '56, leave the halls of Cocalico Union for the last time and enter into the world as adults, always to remember and never to forget our alma mater-C.U.

YOUNDT son of Mr. 81 Mrs. Melvin Youndt ' 270 Main Street, Adamstown, Penna. Football 45 Sports Club 1,25 Monitor 1. 56 PROPHECY Time 1966 Place-Cocalico Union High School There have been six new additions to the building since 1956. The most recent donated to ,lim Weinhold, C. U. Principal, by Bob Getz, the very popular newly elected state senator from Schoeneck. Linda Levenson, editor of the Denver Tribune, in an interview with Bob on his election day wrote an article which got instantaneous attention from a certain Sam Leisey. Bob, who also has oil well in Texas, is making a plea for someone to bring all the mem- bers of the 1956 graduating class of C. U. together for a victory dinner at his alma mater, Cocalico Union High School. He offered a huge reward, 100,000 shares of oil stock to the person who could locate the 54- members. Sam Leisey, well known FBI Agent New York City, jumped at the chance. He called on the now famous chemist Lowell Thomas Haws, who recently discovered Merchurodine, an after dinner treat guaranteed to clean your breath while it cleans your teeth. Mr. Haws remembered reading in the paper sometime ago, about the well known classical and pop recording artist Betty Caruso, known to us as Carol Sweigart, who's currently appearing in New York City, at the Metropolitan Opera. Going back stage after the performance Sam asked Carol if she knew where any of the 1956 graduating class was. Carol said he should notify her press agent Mel- vin Schmeck, as he would know more than she. Calling Mr. Schmeck, Sam found out about Barbara Kring, recently vacationing in Cleveland, Ohio. He hired her as his secretary for the tour. After chartering a private flight tor his trip, he got as his pilot the former Air Force major, Cliff Youndt. Co-pilot was Lee Wingenroth. The Hight also had a privately employed nurse, Miss Priscilla Good, since Sam had fears of getting air sick. After stopping off at Cleveland for Barbara they left for Chicago, Illinois, where they found Brent Binkley, now superintendent of the Chicago Stockyards with his very competent help mate and typist, Thelma Himeisen. Brent was overseeing affairs when Sam made his appearance. Soon Sam left. Brent almost herded him in a railroad car to be shipped to the slaughter house. Going to the airport from the stockyards Sam Spade Leisey stopped to look at a new housing project in the outskirts of Chicago. He found Raymond Martzall supposedly surveying the land. After leaving Motz, Sam went to the airport and decided to eat at the airportrestaurant. Rochelle Lausch was his waitress and Sam asked her to sit down and chat awhile. But Rochelle told Sam she was very busy and had to wait on other people in the restaurant. However, Sam was very convincing. When he finally left Chicago for Iowa they headed for Des Moines. While there, they heard of a large dairy farm on the outskirts of the city, which had a very good reputation. Driv- 36 ing out they found Cliff Hirneisen directing his farm hands at their many chores. Cliff had the latest in equipment and was pleased to show Sam around the farm. He told Sam and his associ- ates, he had heard Donald Boyer was starting a farm near Omaha, Nebraska. Sam said he'd make Omaha his next stop. When they arrived, Sam decided he was pretty tired doing all this hopping around the countryside so he asked his co-pilot, Lee Wingenroth, if he would find and interview Donald while he went into town to see a show. He immediately recognized the star as Marjorie Markel. On arriving at his meeting place with Lee, he found him there madder'n a homet. He told Sam he saw Donald, but that hereafter he wants Sam to understand he's a flier, not a blood- hound. Their next stop was Colorado Springs, Colorado, where a new jet center was being added to the city airport. They already had jet air force ace, Robert DeLong taking stunt tests in the jets. Sam's pilot Cliff Youndt decided he'd take a spin in a jet to see what it was like. Larry Meckley met Sam there and showed him around the airport. He had formerly been in the air force and was now a pilot for the TWA airlines. After leaving Sam, he took off in a huge passenger plane for a non-stop flight to New York with the charming air line hostess Janet Musser. Janet was planning to make this her last flight. After this she was getting married to a big man in the real estate business and planned to retire. There was a privately employed nurse at the airport. The nurse was Faye Pierce. Faye and Priscilla were busy treating Cliff for shock after his little excursion with DeLong. When he was feeling normal again, they took off for Beno, where they found John White, now an accom- plished lawyer, expertly arguing his case. But your honor,', John said, What if she did throw the kitchen sink with all the dishes in it, at her husband, to give him a fractured upper lip. l still feel she should have 31000 month- ly alimony. After all, he didn't have to throw her through the door. lf he wanted to get her out, he could have, at least, opened itf' After talking over old times with John, Sam, his secretary and his two pilots, left for Los Angeles. Drawing up to a service station on Wilshire Boulevard, they saw the owner and proprieter, Fred Binkley, coming out to say hello. Fred now owns a chain of service stations in and around Los Angeles and is doing quite well for himself. On leaving Fred, Sam decided to visit the motion picture industry. Driving up to the MGM Studio and going into the ofhce, Madeline Fritz, the Studio receptionist, told Sam to go ahead on a tour around the studio lot. He found Janet Martin a stenographer for the studio. She told Sam several of the former class of '56 were employed at this or other studios in Los Angeles or neighboring Hollywood. Sgt. Leisy met Eugene Heft at the studio, Heft is a radio technician at a local radio station and was collecting records to be played over on the the programs he supervised. Frank Sinatra was in conference with his secretary Elaine Gehman on the set of his current film. Joyce Rath- man was giving him a vocal lesson and asked him how he ever expects to get anywhere if he doesn't try to sing like she tells him. Marlon Brando was also in this picture but he was making his monthly visit to his psychi- atrist, Jane Witmer, and was holding up production of the picture. Grace Kelly with her private secretary, Audrey Reddig, was having a fashion consultation with her fashion designef Barbara Hoffman. Barbara and Audrey didn't seem to agree on whether or not Grace should wear a certain dress in the picture. Audrey decided to call in the seamstreess who was making the dress in Hollywood, which was her former classmate, Etta Schnader, for her opinion. Etta agreed with Barbara that the dress was not too daring, even though Audrey insisted Grace's elbows were showing. Grace wore the dress. Sam stopped off at the University of So. Calif. where he found Barbara Sweigart as Dean of Women. Barbara said Thelma Tucker is in the University faculty as a phys. ed. teacher. Soon Thelma came charging in the oflice. Barbara told Thelma to show Sam and his eager compan- ions around the University. First Thelma took Sam to the school dentist, Ralph Roseboro. Ralph was quite busy pul- ling a tooth at the time and was ably assisted by his nurse, Maryanne Miller. When they had pulled the tooth and Sam came in to talk to them, they had him in the chair and two teeth tilled before he could tell them he came only to pay a visit, not for an appointment, Sam got out of there fast. ' A new section was being built on the campus, Thelma said, and Ken Pentz of the '56 C. U. graduating class was head engineer of the addition. Don Hackman was contracted to be the electrician. Don was there talking things over with Pentz. It seems this wasn't going to be an ordinary addition with Hackmanis and Pentz's combined brain power, it was going to be quite different. After Sam left the University, he and his crew took off for Las Vegas, New Mexico, On dining at the popular night club The Dunes, they saw the cigarette girl, Rosalee Rupp, talk- ing to two marines that looked familiar. They were Donald Keith and Eugene Dietrich. When they saw Sam they insisted on treating him to champagne. Sam didn't try too hard to persuade them not to. He finally went back to the plane and they left for New York, stopping off at St. Louis, Mo., where Larry Gensemer, who was now married and had a huge farm, showed Sam around. Sam soon had to leave again, as time was running short and so was his money. When he reached New York, he went to the Bellvue Hospital. There he found Janet Fry filing the day's health reports in the office, when he walked in. She told him Joyce Flicker and Pearl Gehman were in the operating room at the moment on an emergency call. Joyce Fitterling was making the nightly rounds and came off duty as Jeanette Gensemer went on. Jeanette stopped for a quick chat with Sam before going on duty. When Miss Flicker came off duty, she and Nurse Fitterling went shopping, so Sam went along. They went to a new supermarket, recently opened by the owner and operator Harold Sweigart, known to many as Jessie. Jessie showed Sam around and was very glad to talk to him. After leaving the supermarket, and wanting to see some sights, Sam decided to go to the United Nations building. lt was there he found Connie Bixler as Sec. for the General Assembly and Vivian Brubaker reporter of the New York Times, both taking notes. Sam tried to convince Vivian to write a story on his famous jaunt around the U. S. but she told him he wasn't famous enough for the Times and Connie quickly agreed. Sam was insulted. After he left the U. N. Sam visited a very exclusive night school that taught Business. Here he found Joyce Showalter teaching book-keeping, Karen Ochs typing and Jane Kauffman short- hand. After sitting in all three classes Sam decided he was no businessman. They all had secretarial jobs during the day and taught at night. That night Sam treated them all to dinner at the Stork Club. . At home Senator Getz received Sam's telegram saying he had notified all 54 members of the '56 C. U. graduating class for Getz's victory dinner and they all agreed to come. The victory dinner was a gala affair. Every one was happy over Bob's election to the Senate, Now you'll clean up the Capitol. they said, and Bob of course agreed he would with very little effort at all. Sam said he was very glad to receive Bob's check for his troubles. He said he'd spent his last dime taking Karen, Jane, and Joyce to the Stork Club. Not because the food was that ex- pensive, said Sam, but what appetites' H i SEATED, L to R3 Mr. Beam, J. Weinhold, F. Pierce, C. Sweigart, J. White, J. H. Sweigart, J. Gensemer, L. Levenson, M.

This couse, taught by Miss Rentschler, commercial teacher, takes place dur- ing the last period each Friday. I The students begin by learning the keyboard, repeating the letters and their positions until they become routine and automatic. Later they learn how to type research papers, bibliographies, various forms of business letters, and other things they may need in their schoolwork or in their personal life. ln their typing, speed is stressed but not to the point of inaccuracy. The course is mainly for the students' own per- sonal benefit, to help them receive better marks, and in later years to speed along any written work that may be necessary. The Class of '58 resides in homerooms 202 under the supervision of Mr. Hoff- master, Room 207, Mr. Hill and 201 Mr. Bucks. Their major activity for the year is making soup once a month. For their class colors they have chosen navy blue and white. They have received their class jackets in these colors. The Sophomore class is a real asset to Cocalico Union High. We are proud they are a part of our clan. 10-C Biology Class FIRST ROW L. to R.g D. Knerr, L. Lesher, B. Witman, R. Reinhold, G. Albright W. Pierce, G. Beard, C. Shupp, V. Oherholtzer, P.

GENERAL SCIENCE General science is the class in which many freshman learn of the strange, yet real happenings in science and nature. Many demonstrations are shown to the students to help them understand these occurrences. The student himself, does some of these experiments, under the guidance of the science teacher. Throughout the year minerals, plants, animals and many other things of nature are studied. This subject is taught so the student may prepared for the future years in the learning of the higher sciencesg such as biology, chemistry, and physics. g THE SCIENCE LABORATORY 9-A GENERAL SCIENCE CLASS 43 .. .... a The lvinlngi mriirse. which is taught hy Mr. Hoffmaster, involves Instruction lhe stucli uf lixing plants ancl animals. ln llu- lu-ginning of the year the students learn the divisions and slilwlixisimis uf the lim nmjm' kingclonis, plant and animal.

We now find ourselves in a room where there are tables arranged in a wheel-like pattern, with a demonstration table as the hub, and it's of course ........ the chemistry room. Our chemistry lab here at Cocalico Union is equipped with the most modern of facilities. Some of the equipment includes electrical hook-ups for A.C. and D.C. current, which are connected to a distribution board. The room is also equipped with a h0od,'l which eliminates all the odors, so characteristic of chemistry classes. Yes,.this is truly a room equipped to produce chemists for the future. 50 CHEMISTRY E. Cocalico Chemistry Class eil. - : P f Q. . . -:L Denver Chemistry Class .L- PHYSICS Here's how to do it Instructorv-Mr. Bucks The goal of the physics course, taught by Mr. Bucks, is to cover approx- imately forty-five experiments which include mechanics, heat, light, magnetism, electricity, sound, and electronics. Each physics student works with a partner, usually a boy and girl, if pos- sible. The experiments are set up by students who try to prove the object of the experiment. The laboratory is equipped with the best apparatus available to high schools. Fundamental as well as advanced experiments can be performed with the equipment. Three types of electricity are piped to each individual lab. table. Direct current is obtained from storage batteries, motor generators, and also variable A.C. currentfrom 0 to 120 volts. With the above equipment the students here at Cocalico Union have all the advantages that could possibly be offered in a modern high school. 51 Experimenting The class on lab', day The class of '59 had 119 members who were placed in rooms 103, 104, and 204. Their homeroom teachers were Mr. Leid, Mr. Censemer, and Mr. Stewart. These freshmen have already contributed a great deal to the improvement of their school, showing their abil- ities in such activities as the band, dance band, the junior high chorus and some on the '4Cocalico Eaglei' staff. We also saw some future athletic stars who did excellent work on the junior high basket- ball and football squads. Freshman at a junior-high dance The,35 members of the freshman Latin class, under the direction of Mrs. Leid, organized a Latin Club, HStellae Latinif' Its representatives for the Student Council were Roy Weik and Sandra Wingenroth. The junior high cheerleaders were Linda Clay, Roberta Mowrey, Beverly Weller, Brenda Taylor, and Barbara Wit- men. .With this encouraging background we feel this class will remain successful through the following years as they enter senior high school.

This course is not compulsory, in order to take the course, a student must be sixteen years old before the close of the term. The students are tested for reaction time and are also given color and eye tests. The advantages of Driver Training are, that the insurance rates are low- ered, and that it gives the driver the opportunity to learn and practice correct driving habits. GU I C E Mr. Trout and Vivian Brubaker The mam purpose of guidance is to help the student to help himself, through competent social, emotional, physical and mental adjustment. The seventy grade students are given an orientation to the present school situation. To the eighth grade students vocational guidance is offered through a study of various occupations. The freshmen students are prepared for their entrance to senior high school, through educational and vocational guidance. Tenth to twelfth grade guidance is given through personal interviews. The student is given personality, adjustment and aptitude tests, to discover the type of 'work he or she will excel in. Students are given aid in selecting a college, securing financial aid to enter college, if necessary, and are also given aid as to howpto gain entrance to a college. For individuals who plan to enter the fields of industry, or are planning a career in the armed forces, the guidance department aids that student in selecting the position which best suits his ability and fits his needs. 77 ::-.f.- -,.,- ' 1: .F?,:Z:f.::::iff 5!.fi1? 3733222 ' :Ei 8 , 'V V :A 5:5 3 s v i 77 ,Q .

Dottie's father also drops in quite unexpectedly, and the girls make every effort to get the boys out before Mr. Coburn dis- covers that they are also living there. One night, Mr. Kenny finally consents to come up to see their 80 play. Muriel, who has just stopped in to pay a visit, suddenly finds that she is to be the missing prop, the corpse. Mr. Kenny finally arrives, and they begin to enact the play, only to be interrupted by Mrs. Garnet, their landlady, and the policemen, who hear the disturbance and begin to investigate. There they find Muriel lying on the sofa, appearing to be dead . . . they have quite a time convincing them that this is only a play. Mr. Coburn decides that this life is definitely not the type that Dottie should be havingg and tells Dottie that she must go back to Boston with him. However, Norman tells Mr. Coburn that she won't because he wants to marry her. Mr. Kenny and Mrs. Garnet come in at this point.

However, in the near future the follow- ing areas will be added: electricity. forging, foundry, ceramics, plastics and art metal. ln junior high school the students are given an opportunity to get experience in as many areas as possible. ln senior high, the student can expect more ad- vanced work in his chosen area. While industrial arts training does not pre- pare a student for a trade it does how- ever help him to decide on a vocation through class discussion, outside assign- ments and practical experience in the shop.
