Dallastown Area High School - Spectator Yearbook (Dallastown, PA)

Text from Pages 1 - 120 of the 1930 volume:

1 J After much due consideration and deliberation, the title of the year book is selected. It is to be called “The Dyne.” mean- ing force. '1 he word dyne is derived from the (ireek word dy- namics.” meaning power. The dyne, as defined in Physics, is that force that will impart to a gram mass a velocity of one cen- timeter per second. This force is insignificant when compared with the forces of nature, for examples, the earthquake, which de- stroys cities, the floods that devastate the valleys and the waves of the sea that crush the huge ships that sail upon them. These great forces are made up of small forces acting together. We hope that our unit. “The Dyne. will become as powerful as the small molecule of water that freezes and erodes mountains. All life is a series of changes from the lowest to the highest, from the weakest to the strongest, from the crude to the in- telligent. and from the simple to the complex. Looking toward the future we expect to have the year book pass through the same successive stages of the element as the insect passes from the egg to the larva stage, from the larva to the chrysalis, and thence to the beautiful adult butterfly. As each stage in the metamorphosis of the insect has added materially to the com- pletion of the ideal, so may each succeeding staff of the year book benefit by the achievements we have attained and profit In our mistakes. May we strive to make “The Dyne.” as the butter- fly—a completed ideal.

If we trace the progress of an individual from his birth to his death, we have something very like the history of the race from its lowest beginnings to the highest forms of civilization it has attained. The struggles to free themselves from the chains that bind them to the old; the disappointments they experience when they realize the state that formally seemed ideal, is common to both. The hopes, the aspirations, the longings for a Utopian state, where Peace and Love and Harmony arc the ruling spirits, of the one are reflected in the other. F.very institution of man has come up out of great tribulation and shows the scars of wounds, the stains of blood and the tears of sorrow. Recall, if you please, the persecutions of Christ and 11 is followers, suffered in the establishment of the Christian religion : the trials, temptations, and the hor- rors of war that confronted our fathers in the development of our national life. If the pangs and the fears of birth and growing pains are evident in the biological world for the perpetuation of the species, they surely are ob- vious in the development of an educational institution. Time is an important element in the achievement of success in any line of activity and our analogy holds true here. The more intricate and the more highly organized the organism, the longer the time required to reach matur- ity and the longer the period of infancy. We can grow a mushroom in a night but it takes a hundred years to grow an oak. A certain species of fly will complete its entire life cycle in six hours but it takes a thousand years to produce a Homer, a Shakespeare or a Milton. It ought to be. therefore, not surprising that we have not attained to full maturity as an institution. The egg from which our school has sprung was laid some time prior to 1834 in a log school house situated on the plot of ground upon which the present Main Street building now stands. Since this occurred some time before the enactment of the law which made free schools possible in Penn- sylvania. its doors were open only to the children of the wealthy class: for books and supplies were then not yet provided with money received by public taxes and every one who attended was required to pay a sum of six pence for the privileges granted by the school to a child. Neither was there a school law compelling a child to attend, nor a law fixing a definite time during which school was to be open and no legislation making provision for general supervision, consequently teachers were not subject to any higher authority and were therefore a law unto themselves. Under such trying Puye seventeen and adverse circumstances our young and apparently hopeless institution struggled to fulfill its mission, fostered and nurtured by such men as X. S. Shaw, J. T. Fidler. 1). A. Minnich. V. L. Ammon, Fdward inemiller. C. W. Stine and others whose names could not be secured. Progress was made slowly during these times, yet by comparing long periods marked changes are noticeable. We quote from the “History of York County.” compiled in 1886. It is claimed by the citizens that the in- tellectual and moral growth is most encouraging. The school term has been lengthened to six months. A two-storv brick building is now used for the two schools of 124 members. This building will soon be enlarged to meet the demands. For this year 1884-1885 John Fidler taught secondary and Marths J. Wantz primary school, at $55 per month each. The State appropriation is $125 per year: A. J. Hartman, president, and Adam Kohler, secretary of the school board. The other directors are Dr. L. S. Lawson. Martin Simon. Jonathan Geesey and A. P. Grove.” The two-story brick building replaced a two-storv frame structure which was damaged by fire and afterwards re- moved. 'I'lie two-storv brick was also torn away to make room for a one- story three-roomed building. In 1890 a fourth room was added to this. In this building in the spring of 1898, this seeming lifeless and uncouth egg burst its dark crust and lo. the green larva appeared in the form of the first class to graduate from the high school. The inactivity that characterized its first stage is replaced by great activity; for no sooner had it freed itself from its dismal prison, it began to eat voraciously and to grow rapidly. The egg was fertile and the brood pro- lific; for during the next seventeen years, twelve classes and one hundred twenty-six young men and women have been graduated from her sacred halls and have gone out into active service to bless humanity and to make the world a better and a safer place in which to live. They have constantly and persistently urged us on to higher standards and to greater proficiency in order that their children may come here and more readily find themselves; they come to us with the friendly admonition that we relinquish not easily those possessions which they with great difficulty maintained. While the way over which our young institution had come was steep and hard she refused to look back but set her face toward Hope. “Hope springs eternal in the human breast: Man never is. but always to be blest.” She had fully determined that while her earliest sons could not reach the goal each succeeding one must more nearly approach it. The last few years were exceedingly trying, since an attempt was made to bridge the Page eighteen gap between a three and a four-year course and our success in securing the latter depended much upon the ingenuity of three master workmen, viz: C. V. Stine. Palmer Diehl and John II. Meyers. The following period began rather auspiciously, for in the spring of 1915 the State Department of Public Instruction, feeling satisfied that we had met the requirements of that body, sent us the glad tidings that we were classified a first grade high school. This stage of our development although apparently dead and lifeless had within it great possibilities. Locked within the walls of this chrysalis is all the potential energy accumulated during the former period, expending itself slowly and definitely in shaping and fashion- ing the original pattern. To those unacquainted with the changes taking place at this time the task must seem hopeless, the energy wasted and the efforts futile. W ithin it are forces at work, unknown and unseen to the un- observant. making preparations to assume its share of responsibility as an adult and to fulfill its life’s mission and in due time to break the silken threads that held it captive and unfold its gorgeous wings in the glorious sunshine of a new dawn. What the school will be depends largely upon what she is now. What she is now is determined by her environment. She must be liberal enough so that every one has an opportunity to find himself, and for self expression. This means much to both student and school. When self expression is per- mitted. the student feels that he is of some importance to find he is a part of the school. The recognition of his abilities stimulates his interest in his work, and infuses more deeply in his heart a truer love for his Alma Mater. Her efforts are of little avail without the forceful cooperation of the student. Since the student is of such vast importance, stupendous efforts should be exerted to produce incentive and initiative within the makeup of each son and daughter of 1). H. S. School and community must be cooperative rather than antagonistic. The school must set the standard and lift the community rather than have the community fix the standard and lower the level of the school. Wealth, pleasure, and popularity must be sacrificed to place the school in her rightful position and to maintain her there. Ill fares the land to hastening ills a prey: Where wealth accumulates and men decay.” This is the task we must accomplish if we would heed the advice of our predecessors and then with satisfaction look upon the product of our labor A thing of beauty and joy forever.

We have not had the privilege of having Kvelvn with us all the years of our High School life, for she spent the first two years in high school at Stewartstown. From the beginning of her school life in 1). H. S. she has served her school with undying loyalty. She has made herself very popular by her school spirit. No one will forget the pep of Kvelvn. who is always snappy. A basketball game is not complete without her leading the cheer- ing section. She is little, but O! how mighty. The way she can get us to cheer is, in itself, a marvel. With her to lead, the cheers are always hearty. In November the Attig family moved to York. Evelyn moved in body, but not in spirit. She continued to come to Dallastown High. “The tie that binds” was too strong. Evelyn may be the smallest girl in the Senior class, but what she lacks in size she more than makes up in her studies. e had an idea that the half hour of studying on the trolley car every morning enabled her to know her lessons every day: but she claims that studying on the car makes her sea-sick. Evelyn is one of the most cheerful students in I). H. S. She is always laughing. It seems that she does not have an ache or a care. She has a snappy answer to every thing that is said to her. It is impossible to hoax her. for she is too witty. Evelyn's greatest desire is to become a Registered Nurse, which by her untiring efforts we know she will attain.

I 'red’s temper is the cause for more than one dispute, but the dis- pute never lasts for Fred just can't help smiling, he is too good matured. Mis smile has won for him many friends. From the time Fred has entered High School until he finished he never neglected his studies. As a Freshman. Fred let us know that he was not afraid of hard work. It has meant nothing to him all four years. lie goes straight through English and History. W hen in doubt, ask Fred,” is a familiar expression among the Seniors. I 'red’s greatest weakness is keeping away from the girls, especially a certain Junior girl. He can’t resist them. Where they are. there he must be also. Ilis greatest accomplishment is to blush, which he does all the time. We need but look at him and he changes color. We have been un- able to account for this trait. Fred’s pastime is walking along the car tracks. Possibly the very efficiency which he displays in the class room is the prime factor in his role as class Romeo. Attention to the details, thought- fulness, brain work are not only requisites of a good athlete a good stu- dent. but a successful lover as well.

Woodrow's High School career in one that will never be forgotten be- cause of his willingness to help in every possible way. If we hear the few words. “Go Way. Cow. we know just who is in our presence. Woody seems to be very fond of cows. We cannot forget that Woodrow showed remarkable talent as an actor. He carried well in the main role in the Junior play. “Honor Bright and again in the Senior play. Seventeen. He has been prominent in all the Operettas. Through all this hustle and bustle of High School work Woody managed to court and to win a Lady Fair. As to her name, it need not be mentioned. We might add that Woody has been singing about his “Little Bed-head. Once in awhile Woody gets the blues, but for the most part he is very jolly. His laugh may be heard all over the building upon certain occasions. That laugh draws us to him immediately. Woody's hobby is to make goo- goo eyes, lie can do this, as well as imitate a 1910 Ford, very nicely. It would take time to tell all about Woody. He has done so many things. I� ut we need not wonder about his great success and achievements for he was born on the day of all days—, “Columbus Day. Ibis explains everything. Page twenty-five ROBERT MYERS GEESEY North Walnut Street Extended Dallastown, Pa. Business Manager, “The Beacon: Business Manager, “The Dyne;” Ciass Play, 4; Class Treasurer, 4. Boh has not been with us all the years of our High School life, but as long as he has been with us we have found that he is not afraid of work. Bob has proven this by his ability to be a helper at all times. W e can de- pend always on Robert because he is one who will do for you. and give to you. his best. Mis determination carries him through all that he undertakes. In addition to his regular school work, he has attended night school at the York Y. M. C. A. for the last two years, lie is a graduate of the Penn- sylvania State College engineering Kxtcnsion Course in Shop engineering. The fact that Bob completed this difficult three year course in less than two years is absolute proof of his determination, as well as of his efficiency. Whenever we sec Bob. he is either laughing or talking. Sometimes he talks too much and too loud, especially in French class. Bob seems to think that “Girls may come and girls may go. but 1 go on forever. However, we know for “Seeing is believing. When we recall that he has carried the Managership of “The Beacon” anti “The Dyne —Herculean tasks—that he is the official basketball score keeper of 1). II. S. we get an idea of how Bob spends his twenty-four hours. And yet. one look at the twinkle in bis eyes, reveals that life is not a hum- drum commonplace to him. For is lie not the arch-planner of all mischief? Is he not the originator of all hooking-parties? Is he not the champion humorist of 1930? Bob possesses the true “joic de vivre.” Literary Society, 1, 2; Page twenty-six Literary Society, 1. 2; (ilee Club, 3: Operetta. 1. 2, 3. 4: Secretary, Chorus. 4: Class ice-Prcs.. 3: Spelling Contest.

Helen, the little red head, is admired, cherished, and has been loved by some, especially a certain Junior boy for whom she has shown a deep af- fection. As a worker she is a Curie, always busy, taking part in all school activities, as her achievements show. Helen has been the outstanding stu- dent of our class. But her activities have not been confined to the class Under her able leadership as Kditor-in-chicf. “The Beacon” has become a success. And her efforts have borne fine fruit. Her work with “The Dyne” has also been of a high type. We can never say exactly how much of its success is due to her untiring efforts, but we must never forget what she has done. Red has a great dramatic ability and has carried several lead- ing roles admirably. Her grades indicate that her studies are not being neglected. In En- glish and History she is hard to beat. If she does not know the answer, it is hardly worth while asking any one else. Kverv time she speaks she presents a puzzle. Perhaps this is due to a brace that she wears on her teeth to straighten them. Red is a true friend and a jolly sport. She is ever willing to help some one out of his or her difficulties. - Page twenty-seven Literary Society, 1, 2; Class Play. 3. 4: Operetta, 1. 2. 3, 4; Circulation Manager. “The Beacon;” Track Squad, 4; C lass Vice-Pres., 1.2; Physical Director of Room 12. Paul, better known as “Coonie” to his school mates, spent the carlv part of his life in the city of York. In 1920 he came to Dallastown and in that year he entered our class. W e were very glad to have Coonie with us, for from that time on he has been a great benefit to the class. When he entered High School he was a rather bashful individual, but the call to duty made him forget that trait. At present we would in no way consider Paul bashful. His hobby is addressing a group of boys. We shall not mention what he talks about, but he always finds something to say. W e can tell it is Coonie when we hear that “By Golly.” It matters not where he is. we can always hear him shouting his famous saving. When Paul was asked why he had no baby picture he replied: I grew so fast they didn't have time to take a picture.” There is a twinkle that lies deep in his blue eyes which is a faint indication of the humor in his soul. Without the slightest twich of an eyelid he can spring a joke which sets us almost hys- terical. Speaking of girls Coonie says. “Don't talk to me about the girls. I’m too absorbed in my work. We have never been able to find out of whom he thinks when he gazes into space, which he does quite often. Page twenty-eight Literary Society. 1. 2: Class Play. 3. I: Operetta, 4. Mary came to Dallastown High after attending Raab’s famous country school. Mary, or “Mickey as she is sometimes called, may be seen any time between 7:30 and 8:30 in the morning walking along the car tracks to school. This is Mickey’s favorite exercise, walking to and from school. Mary has little to say. Perhaps it is her quietness that makes us her friends, as she is our friend. What a loyal friend she is! She does every- thing she can to help us solve our difficult problems of school life. She cheers us by her own cheerfulness. Mary intends to pursue a business course. Her dreams are of this work. Here she thinks she will find happiness. Algebra is her favorite pastime and most cherished study. Mary’s distinguishing characteristic is a mole in the center of her left cheek. Often when Mary is sitting, gazing no where in particular, we know that she is thinking of chickens, because Paul’s father owns a large poultry farm near Jacobus. Mary seems to be very fond of chickens. Mary, the world is full of sorrows and sadness, thorns with the roses, but your cheerful smile will win you many friends.

Her suitors being many, she had to resort to a tiling s stem to keep her dates correct. One by one these suitors have dwindled until only one remains, he seems to have created an unusual interest on her part. Never- theless Beatrice still enjoys the friendship of all her classmates. Strolling down past I). IL S. one might hear a lilting, fascinating voice, but. all that can be seen is a group of boys standing in a circle. There is no need of straining the eyes; that voice and charm belong only to Beatrice. Beatrice has a kind word and a smile for all. W e feel happy and cheer- ful when she is around. She is a loyal and hard working classmate. She has been able to change the opinion of the entire class upon special occasions. How she does it we can not tell. All she does is express her opinion and before we know it. we have changed ours to agree with her. We believe that this trait will be of much value to her in the years to come. Beatrice is no slacker when it comes to her studies, except perhaps French. She usually has some one read it to her. “Beat is going to be a nurse and we know that she’ll be a good one. May the winds lift thee up and carry thee thru a life of prosperity, bliss, d love. c thirty ALMEDA GRACE NESS 71 East Howard Street Dallastown, Pa.

Ahneda is of a quiet nature, tho’ very friendly. She is very bashful, takes what honors she gets very quietly, does all her tasks without any fuss and yet is prominent in all our school activities. Ahneda spends her idle time flirting with the Sophomore boys, yet she claims that she does not like the boys. We are not so sure about this. It is our belief that she loved and lost. However, in some ways she appears to be a “Man Hater.” During a conversation her drawn out “A-a-h can be heard. There is no foolishness in her talking. She does not have time for that. We see her busy all the time, either studying or reading some love story. That seems to be her passion. We hope that the heroine does not always love and lose. Ahneda is a genius when it comes to translating French, which seems to be her hobby. There are two deep lines, one on each side of her nose, that identify her easily. She tells us that these lines come from concentrating on her lessons. Ahneda is known to many of us as “Medy.” but in the last year we have uncounsciously dropped it and now we call her Ahneda. Ahneda intends to become a nurse. We know she will be a good on for she is very kind hearted.

Never could he he bothered with any girl other than his “Phantom Sweet- heart. who became popular through the school. But Lester has changed, he is a dashing Romeo. Ilis favorite subject is girls, blondes or brunnetts, it matters not. His smile tells us that he is thinking of one of them. We might add that he is always smiling. Perhaps that smile is meant only for his da dreams, but nevertheless it is catching. W e smile for no other rea- son than that Lester is smiling. Lester proved to be an excellent scholar in French. Working out catchy translations and idioms are his hobbies. To him they are nothing. Ilis driving power in High School seems to be helping a certain Senior girl pre- pare her French. Lep says that he enjoys helping her translate her French. To every question that is asked. Lep responds with. “Oh. y-c-a-h!” If on a sunny afternoon, we see a tall, lean boy walking toward the Swamp, slowly, gliding along, with a rolling gait, carrying a bathing suit in one hand and a rille in the other, we may be sure that it is none other than Lester. Lep is a great fisherman. He has spent whole afternoons catching nothing. With the rille he is an expert. It is nothing for him to kill two rabbits with one bullet, at least he says that it has been done. However, we notice that he does not say who has done the shooting. Literary Society, 1. 2; Pres..

He appears to be doing one thing but is in reality doing another. This is illustrated by his method of studying, which is unique. He studies in one class for the following class. When lie studies for the first class is difficult to tell. I le appears so innocent, yet all the girls know that he isn't. His hobby is teasing them. They have considered wearing suits of armor for protection. If Philip, better known as “Phil or “Dope,” wanted to shock all the teachers all he would have to do is get to class on time. He gets to school late and just can't get around to all the classes on time. When he is wanted he can never be found. A half hour’s search usually finds him in some ob- scure place pretending to be studying. Perhaps he is: we cannot tell. These little things do not prevent us from liking Philip. He is a good friend to all of us. In all our High School life we have never seen him cross at any one. His smile is so catching that we are glad when he is around.

When she came to school she was a t:mid creature. But she immediately forgot her timidity as she became popular with her classmates. Mary advanced with us until we are now Seniors, but she still retains her kind and friendly disposition to all of us. Mary is kindness itself. She could never do anything that would in the very least ofiend any of us. Mary has proved to be a very adept student throughout her school days. Her attitude seems to say: Give me something difficult to do.” Her favorite study is Vergil. Translating it seems nothing to her. Her desire is to be- come a nurse, and we know that she will he a good one. She need not be at all suprised if all the Seniors become ill at the time of her graduation and require her services. Mary's hobby is riding in a new Lord with another of her favorite past- times. Her passion is boys, young and fair. We have not been able to learn much about Mary’s love affairs. That she likes the boys we all know, but who. is the question. Mary has had for many years very red cheeks. She claims that they are naturally red. We do not doubt her word, but. frankly, red cheeks seem almost a curiosity, in this day and age.

She has done this in more ways than one. She is very much interested in music and devotes hours to it. Due to her un- usual interest in music she has become the leading pianist of 1). II. S. It would seem that Roberta is thinking of keeping a dairy, for she is always talking of her “Cow. She is very firmly attached to this “Cow.” She is never without it. But we know that she borrowed that “Cow. Bert's aim is to catch a man. She is not happy unless there is one in her presence. The number of different ones does not matter to her. as long as he has a good car. for Roberta is very fond of riding in automobiles. Her passion is to run one up a telephone pole. She has almost succeeded on sev- eral different occasions. The latest report is that Roberta tried to drive ov jr a trolley car. but it appears that the size prevented her from accomplishing this feat. However, she made a very good attempt to fulfill her desire. Roberta seems to be an adept student, especially in French and Vergil. She likes these two classes better than the other three: it is evident that she understands foreign languages the best.

She was bubbling over with enthu- siasm. love of youth, and a desire for a good time. Then Hilda fell in love. All is changed. She has become a little lady. Whenever we see a lonesome Lord bouncing up town driven by a local young man. we know where it is going to stop—Hilda’s home, of course. 1 his young man. in the person of Bob Thompson, seems to be her pastime. Going to Fraternity dances with Bob is her passion. Hilda is liked by both boys and girls in school. Her charming per- sonality attracts us as does a magnet attract iron filings. We never see Hilda without a smile. She has a good word for every person. She is ever willing to do anything that will help or please us. Her by-word shows Irish descent, being Pat. Hilda still thinks of the good old times, for she likes to go gunning with the boys. She can handle a gun as well as the best bov. The bunnies must look out for themselves when she is around, for she is death to any that get in her sight. She was one of the few girls that went out for athletics. She showed her ability as an athlete by capturing several first prizes at the different field meets. cv= 0 FRANCIS CHRISTOPHER WAGMAN •128 East Main Street Dallastown, Pa.

The tallest in the class is Francis. Upon entering High School he was the “Crane” of the class. Bud came to High School with the grim deter- mination to succeed and so far he has fulfilled that determination. Bud’s pastimes are: skiing in winter, hunting in the autumn, courting girls in the spring, and helping his Dad in the summer. We wonder if the young girls, whom he meets during the summer months, when asking for a ride, have heard Francis’ reply: Indeed! Ah don't know nuthin' about dat, as the girls in Dallastown High have heard. Bud has lost his heart to one of the Senior girls. Often we see Bud looking into space. W e know that he is thinking only of her. Bud was not content with the knowledge he could secure in High School. He enrolled in the Y. M. C. A. night school at York in the Builders’ Blue Print Reading Course. Kvery Wednesday night saw Bud going to York. He stood very high in his class. He was graduated from this school in the spring. If seeing a tall lean figure towering above the members of the class of ’30. with its hands in its pockets and its pockets in its pants we may be sure that it is Francis. Bud’s hobby is arguing with the girls, he loves to argue. We believe that he will make a good lawyer. Page thirty-seven CLASS HISTORY “The I'reshmen know not. hut they know not that they know not show them.” We came, twenty-four strong. To be a h'reshinan is to experience that “thrill that comes once in a lifetime. Our arrival at High School was not unlike that of classes preceding us, or those still to come. Everything was new and strange—the upper classmen showed us the different rooms and ex- plained to us the meaning of the bell. Do you remember our first-class meet- ing at Treva Stabler s? Do with your might what your hands find to do.” The quotation it- self without material is worthless, but we are proud to say we possessed the material. 1'rom the very beginning we were represented on the Track Team. W hen we came to High School we didn’t know what work was. but we were not long in ignorance. Although we had to study a great deal we found time for fun. We never dreamed of having so much fun when we were in the grades. By the end of the year we had learned explicitly to follow directions. Under the able leadership of our officers, the class came through that first trying year with much honor and success. “'The Sophomores know not. but they know that they know not -pity them.” Having by this time learned the ropes of the place and giving our care- ful attention to the incoming Krosli. we wanted to take part in all school affairs. During this year we were able to determine definitely our likes and dislikes, including teachers, students, friends and studies. Once again the class of ’30 was represented on the track team, which represented Dallastown High School at Millersville. In addition this year, a Sophomore represented the school in one of the indoor features. These facts taught us that truly there is strength in team work : accordingly, we strengthened ourselves. We entered more fully in High School life, pre- paring for the leadership that comes to upperclassmen. M. E. S. •‘'The Juniors know, but they know not that they know— respect them. Again, in the autumn of 1928 our footsteps were turned toward the doors of Dallastown High School. After the students were assigned to their re- spectivc classes, the class of '30 was found to consist of seventeen Jolly I uniors. All the Juniors came hack to school to turn the grindstone or in other words to study. But study was soon interrupted, due to the fact that we had to prepare for the Tri County Field Meet at Millersville. Bravely we went to the fray, and came home defeated. But we did not remain down hearted long: our Hallowe’en class party, held in the )dd Fellows’ Hall soon restored us to our happy mood. For a time there was a great discussion as to the rings the Junior class should select. But it was finally decided that Dallastown should have a standardized ring. Thus the selection was left unto the entire school body. Those that were disappointed about the selection of our rings were soon de- lighted by the two vacations. Thanksgiving and Christinas weeks. Then we came back to school to start the new year correctly by taking the mid-year’s examinations. The first few months were spent in hard studying with a day off for the Faster vacation. Meanwhile the Juniors had been faithfully studying and practicing their roles, under the direction of Mr. Shenk. in the play. “Honor Bright.” which was given on May the fifth. 1929. Scarcely had we finished with our play, when we began to get ready for the Red Lion Field Meet. At this meet Dallastown captured first prize, which was partly due to the activities of the members of the Junior class. This being the last important event before the final examinations, we dug into our desks, pulled out our books and crammed our heads with valuable knowledge. We took our examinations, received our report cards and learned our fate. Thus the term of 1928-29 had come to a close. The Seniors know and know that they know—worship them. Although Dallastown High reopened later in the school season than what was the usual custom, the members of the previous Junior class were overjoyed in returning to a bigger and better high school. This year fifteen members returned under the dignified name of Seniors and to begin class reci- tations. Soon the time of the Senior play was before us. and after much discussion the class of ’30 chose for its play “Seventeen” to be given under the direc- tion of Mrs. Lentz, after much patience on the directress’ part and much struggle on the members of the Seniors our interpretation of “Seventeen was given on November 30. 1929. Soon the daily routine of our work was disturbed by preparation for the Tri County Field Meet. After the elimination contest at Dallastown. in Page thirty-nine which the Senior class was victor, we were fully prepared to go to Millcrs- ville. Here again the Seniors of Dallastown glittered, the elocution contest being won by Beatrice Mellinger and by Roberta Spate's winning second place in oratory. At the same time basketball, for the first time, was introduced into Dallastown High School. Three members of the Senior class acquired the distinction of being members of the basketball teams. Christmas was approaching and we were given a week’s vacation to celebrate the memorable birthday. The week soon passed and we again turned our steps to D. II. S. to have the bills of our class pins, which we had selected and purchased, staring us in the face. We were no more than settled when another holiday. Xew Year’s was given to the members of the school. After Xew Year’s we returned to school, this time to begin on good solid studying because the annual bug bear, mid-year examinations, was hovering over us. But this bug bear soon met his fate for the Seniors cheerfully took the tests. This memorable event being over, we resumed our studies, our time being interrupted by no special event. But we might rightfully say that the time was interrupted for some, the second publication of the Dallastown High School Beacon’’ was being prepared, many members of the staff are in the Senior class. Another great event that occurred in the history of the class of '30 was that Dallastown High decided to publish a year book. This book has been given the name. “The Dyne.” Bor this book many pictures have been taken of the members of our class, and of others also. The present Senior class also showed its colors by having five of its members as principal characters in the operetta. “Tulip Time.’’ Two more special features for the class of '30 were the organizing of the baseball team and the tennis club.

PROF. U. J. DAUGHERTY. MRS. C. M. LENTZ. B. C. M. Censor—F. L. B. Page forty-one CLASS PROPHECY All you who read or hear this, will you please picture yourselves iti the year 1952! All Dallastown is aflame with enthusiasm, preparing for this important event: The eighteenth Triennial Reunion of the Professional Sons and Daughters. Instead of this meeting being held in the small High School Auditorium on Walnut Street, it is held in the large, spacious, beautiful High School Auditorium which has been constructed on Charles Street. Xow. for a time picture me (Woodrow Flinchbaugh) as President of this organi- zation, also this as the opening night of the reunion. “Mv classmates, friends, and strangers. I am indeed very happy to ad- dress you. to look into your faces this evening because so many old scenes are recalled to me. I see one face which is especially familiar. Yes, it is that of Professor Daugherty. It was he who was the principal of the school from which the class of 1930 was graduated. Since returning I have found that at the age seventy lie is on the retirement list. 'The school board, for Mr. Daugherty’s great work in the school, has granted him retirement with full pay. Before, you remember. I mentioned the class of 1930. It is this class in which I am particularly interested because 1 was a member of it. At this time I am happy to say that only yesterday we held a reunion of that class, that every member returned and each of us has found what the others are doing. With your permission 1 shall tell you the life work of each. The first that I see is Helen Kauffman. Helen attended Millersville State Xormal school. After being graduated Helen taught for some time in a small Western town. From there she began to rise to fame and now she is the sympathetic President of Hood College. Helen has been doing wonders in this school. She allows her girls to associate with members of a nearby boys’ school, for she remembers the days of her youth and the hours she spent talking in the hall to members of the opposite sex. Next on the list is Mary Shearer. This is one you all know for. after completing her nursing course at the York Hospital she engaged in private work in and around this community. Then there is Mary (McDowell) Leader. Mary completed her high school course, followed that by a business course, but her business career did not last, for she married a poultry man. namely Paul Leader. She is a true helpmate to her husband. Evelyn Attig. the little girl of our class is large in fame now. for Eve- lyn reached her goal in the world, that of becoming a doctor. She has just returned from South America, where she was practicing medicine, thus aid- ing the needy and fulfilling the goal taught in Sociology class, that of service. Beatrice Mellinger is known to all screen lovers as Belle Melle. Yes. Beatrice has become an actress. She is playing the same type of parts as she did in our class plays but with a technique improved by experience. She has fulfilled her dream by attaining the name of a second C lara Bow, who was famous in 1930. Later, strolling into the meeting, was one whom I had not seen or heard from for a long time. It was Hilda Thompson. She also became a nurse. She practiced until Robert Thompson became fairly well known as an engineer, then she became Mrs. Robert Thompson, therefore abandoning nursing. Almeda Xess became a nurse and today is the personal aid of one of the great doctors of Philadelphia. Almeda was always the cpiiet girl and to this day does her work silently but with a will. Roberta Spat , started to become a nurse but soon abandoned it to study music. She continued to play the piano and today travels on board one of our large vessels accompaning the musical programs which are given for entertainment. After hearing what all the girls were doing 1 proceeded to find what the boys of the class were doing. Frederick Barshinger was the first that I asked. Fred came with his vest pockets full of cigars. Immediately I thought of a politician.” I was right. Fred had taught for several years and after that was elected to the House in the State Government. After serv- ing his term there he ran for Senator and was successful. He is still Sena- tor Barshinger. Philip Rojahn came back but not the sleepy Philip we had known in school. Philip studied to be an engineer but this was too monotonous, so Philip became a member of several great jazz orchestras, playing in New York. Finally. Philip organized a jazz orchestra. Yes, Philip certainly has been awakened. After finishing his blue print course at the York Y. M. ('. A. Frauds Wagman entered the services of his father and now has taken over his fa- ther's business. As a side line Francis spends about six months out of every live years hunting in the wilds of Africa. Now I approached Robert Geesev. He became a shop engineer in Bal- timore, then rose to the managership of a large concern there. Robert was always the bashful boy of the class and always predicted for himself a bache- lor’s existence but he tells me that he is married and has a fine family of four boys. The next boy of whom I learned was Paul Kuntz. Paul had migrated northward and he became a trapper and a hunter. In spite of the fact that Paul traps, he does not neglect the study of human nature. Lester Riedel appeared next at our meeting. What do you think Les- ter is doing? Lester has become, as those of you who are theater-goers already know, an actor. All the former members of the Class of '30 surely were surprised. One of the reasons why Lester has been so successful as a screen star is his ability to take orders and to obey them. Now. my friends. I thank you for your kind attention and your ability to adapt yourselves to the future so readily. It certainly has been a privi- lege to stand here and address you. The many faces into which I gaze have recalled many pleasant memories and indeed pleasant ones. I now take this means of expressing my gratitude to you for having faith enough in me to elect me as your president. It has indeed been a pleasure to serve on this committee for three years. Those of you who are present are now free to go through the school house. There have been some improvements in the last three years. 1 will now entertain a motion for adjournment.” W. W. F. The last of the class of '30 is the president himself. Since graduating from (Gettysburg College in 1934 Woodrow Flinchbaugh has been teaching mathematics at the Williamsport High School. In addition to teaching lie has created several textbooks on mathematics. He has also been a subordi- nate of the city manager of Williamsport for the last ten years, having been reappointed for five successive terms. Xo doubt Woodrow’s career has been one of the brightest of the members of the class of '30. Censor—F. L. B. CLASS POEM The sun was rising in the golden east. When first we entered dear old I). H. S.. From thence we worked so hard to reach the goal To which we Seniors now are drawing near. 'The sun sailed o’er the sky into the west. As did the pupils of our Senior class. We gained the goal and now we're going to part, And go into the world to find our peace. Page forty-four And now our textbooks we shall lay aside And substitute the knowledge we have learned In problems that we'll meet along the way To reach that goal which in our minds we've set. Upon the athletic field we’ve gone With pride we’ve tried to guard the Blue and White. And now as into sunrise we shall glide. Our Alma Mater we shall always pride. It is sunrise and not sunset to us. The world becomes the cast from which we rise We’ll strive to reach some other goals in life. And make a glow which shall not soon depart. And then our paths shall lead us wcstwardly We shall have made our paths across the sky And then sunset shall crown us all at last. But until then. Sunrise and not Sunset. W. W. F. CLASS SONG “FAREW ELL” Tune: Drink to Me Only With Thine Eyes Tis time to part and leave our friends in dear old Dallastown High, Vet there's a thrill of sadness that will e’er with us abide But time can never change the love that on us grew And memory will make sweeter still the joys that here we knew. So classmates, friends and teachers we bid you our sad farewell In song to Alma Mater's praise let all our voices swell Though far away our different paths may lead on land and sea Still alwavs to our hearts will come, the kindred thought of thee.

CLASSES 'I lie Freshman class to us appears A swarm of busy, buzzing bees, All working for a goal in life At storing useful facts for future use. The Sophomore class is busy, too, Doing the things all Sophomores do. Although in pranks they do indulge They’re generous, noble, kind and true. The Junior class we can’t forget, We all know it is an asset; In all the things we seek to do We find the Junior class rings true.

A few weeks later the class was organized and the following officers were elected: President. Charles Daugherty: vice president. Faye Sherinever: secretary, lames Rci- del: treasurer. Parke Fshbach: sergeant-at-arms. Wilbur Fllis. Class meet- ings were held once a month during the school term at the homes of the class members. An outstanding event which occurred during the year was a Hallowe’en party at the country home of one of the members. Several of the pupils en:oved the walk home immensely. In the fall we had a wiener roast. T he first year our class entered into the school athletic events. Four boys competed in the Tri-County meet at Millersville and gained regular berths on the baseball team. Although only in the egg state, which is a suitable term for Freshmen, our boys had begun to show their athletic abili- ties. This has improved with the years and with training. The following year only twenty-four students enrolled in the Sophomore class. A class meeting was held shortly after the term opened, at which the following officers were elected: President. Wilbur Kllis: vice president. Madeline Sechrist: secretary. Fleanor Griffith: treasurer, Faye Shermever: sergeant-at-arms. James Raab. We were now in our larva stage of develop- ment. which after a few more years of experience, would become a butterfly. This stage is one for which all the ambitious members of the class look for- ward to and strive for its realization. A Hallowe’en partv was held, which all the members of the class planned to make a success. We need not state that it was a success. For has any- thing ever been planned by the class of ’31 that has proved unsuccessful? Several class meetings were held during the year. This year our improvement in athletics can be observed in that we sent six track men to Millersville in the fall, ami seven to Red Lion in the spring. Five of the boys gained positions on the baseball team and all had a very successful year. The class of ’31 also proved itself to be musically inclined. In the Soph- omore year it could boast of five boys who played in the orchestra and of seven girls who sang in the Girls' Glee Club. The class was ever willing to enter into all school activities. Many from the class entered the operetta which was rendered by the pupils of the High School. The year 1929-30 finds us advanced into the cocoon stage of our high school career. This year has been the most successful of our career. T here are now only twelve to continue striving for more knowledge, twelve who are anticipating that in another year the class, which started as an egg. will reach its final stage, auspiciously, if not without difficulty. Although there are only eight boys in the class, seven of these competed in the Millersville field events, six secured places on the basketball team. Does this not prove our excellent athletic abilities? No other class can boast of such a record. The first public performance was the presentation of the Junior Class play, “Gypsy Jim. directed by Mr. Slienk. The Juniors enjoyed very much the preparation of the play, it being something new and interesting in their school life. The play proved to be a success. Co-operation was an out- standing factor in preparing and in presenting the play. Everyone portrayed his character splendidly. 'Phis can be said especially of the leading charac- ters, who did exceptionally well. In a few more weeks the cocoon will burst and we will come forth as a butterfly, which is our goal. The choice morsels of knowledge we have thus far attained in English, History. Sciences, Mathematics and Foreign Languages have prepared us for the last stage of our high school life and future life. F. S.—YV. E. JUXIOROLOGY “Doc” is the ladies' man of the Juniors, He is willing to cheer and make its laugh. Always ready to help the girls out of a task, When things do not turn out as they are planned. “Red Beet Ellis is the miracle man. Lives on bananas and vegetable cans, He works down at the American Store, A jolly young man whom we adore. When mischief is done in the Junior class. It is always started by Parke Eshbach. In school his mind is never on his studies, But making wisecracks and tormenting others. When all the duties of the Junior class Arc left incomplete to the last, Mary is the only one of thirty-one, Who continues till it is done. Harold, the little playboy of our class, Otherwise known to all of us as “Prune. Who bores us with his talks of gay New York. About the little waitress at the Inn. 1 Q Pearl Keller, the stout girl of the class. Who is also known as “Kissy,” Her love for Vergil is supreme. For here she argues with Roberta. Edith, the little red-hea l of our class. She is never known to us as sad. Except when she has a fight with her sweet “Doc,” When they make up she is in all smiles and grins. James Raab. who is the Junior President, Or one of the class of thirty-one. At discus throwing, putting shot and ball. At these sports he does surpass us all. “Jim, the tiny boy of our class, lias found one whom he likes at last. He is a pet of all the girls, Which makes him stubborn and grouchy. For grace and fame in every basketball game. Bob Scchrist beats them all in all his fame; In classes and studies Bob is the same. But to be honest. Bob doesn’t have a dame. Faye, who is live feet two. with eyes of gray, Is the brightest girl of the Junior Class; In studies and recitations is good. And also in all outdoor sports and joys. Have you ever seen our Samuel. Whose arguments are very well; Xot logically, but violent. Yet all the girls take him mildly? JUNIOR CLASS PROBLEMS A Junior- -what is lie? A soul—jolly, gay and carefree? The Junior C lass is very small, but yet it has its problems, like all other classes. 'The class would be incomplete without some daily problems to look forward to and to consider. Kach problem of the class of thirty-one has helped to make the class better in some way. From the first day until the last there has been some difficulty uppermost in the minds of the students. The beginning of the school started with the division of classes, and the planning of work for the future. Following this was the problem of crgil. This was a difficulty because of the great change from historic Latin to Latin poetry. It took quite a while to become accustomed to the poetic grandeur of the poet Vergil, after a year’s work on Caesar’s prosaic history. About the same time, to those taking on Physics arose the obsta- cles of problems. not only knowing how to work them, but explaining them as well. About the middle of the year came one of the most important problems, the Junior Kssay, or “The Continental Congress at York—a Character Sketch. This was practically the first essay the Juniors had attempted to write and the main difficulty with this essay was the getting of material. Finally, the essay was finished, corrected and accepted and the class felt they had accomplished some work. About the same time, thoughts of mid-year examinations thronged the minds of the class. These thoughts were re- placed by the agonies or uncertainties of success or failure. Soon afterward the class of thirty-one saw the need for an increase in its treasury. A play. “Gypsy Jim. under Prof. H. Y. Shenk, was to be given to raise the necessary money. The production was delayed for a week, because of an accident to one of the leading characters. The play was pre- sented and a tremendous success was the result. A spectre of Junior bliss was the outlining of Boswell’s “Life of Samuel Johnson.” This outline took slow and careful work, but was completed, and has been forgotten. These are a few of the ogres that haunt the peace of mind of the twelve Juniors. Calm and monotonous, indeed, would have been its existence with- out these mountains of fatiguing but joyous labor. Since 1931 has sur- mounted these obstacles, it awaits the future with the words of Henley’s “Invictus on its lips : I am the master of my fate. “I am the captain of my soul.” xnisjinansiigngaignianiaianiaigauaciiiiiiiiiuiiarciini ri cmi grr Page fifty-four CLASS OF ’32 Charlotte Harshinger William Conway Violet Deardoff Leola Ehrhart Martha Flinchbaugh Robert Klinchbaugh Carlton Hake Grace Hess Stanley Lentz Mary Ellen Poet Henry Raab Milton Rcigart Margaret Ruff Charlotte Sechrist Madeline Sechrist Mary Sechrist Frederick Stabley Rose Tschopp Helen Wambaugh Carlton Hake..............

This may he applicable to the four years’ course of high school life, namely: 1- Fgg stage, or Freshman 2. Larva stage, or Sophomore 3. Pupa stage, or Junior -4. Adult stage, or Senior I Exactly one year ago thirty-two Sophomores entered High School as eggs. From the first grade we looked forward to the glory of entering High School, hut much to our surprise we found that we were eggs and not but- terflies, as we expected to be. As eggs we held class meetings at the homes of the respective students. At these meetings we transacted business. A program, arranged by an effi- cient commiteee. was enjoyed by all present. The crowning event of the evening was the social hour, refreshments being served by the host or hostess, 'file first time we held a class meeting our boys were initiated by the Sopho- more. Junior and Senior boys. Our first social night was one of excitement, which can be proved by the testimony of our officers, namely: Frederick Stabley...................................President Leola Fhrhart..............,..................N ice President Grace I less....................................... Secretary Martha Flinchbaugh..................................Treasurer Near the close of our egg stage we lost eighten members due, in a large measure to financial pressure. T he Sophomores of 1932 returned to school to enter the larva, or worm stage. In the beginning of this year we started to leave many childish and uncouth customs. We then knew that the faculty as well as the students would expect twice as much as when we were Freshmen. In the larva stage we have been successful, for the class has taken part in athletics, oratory and declamation, winning second place in the inter-class meet held by the Board of Kducation. Four of our class members are on the staff of “The Beacon.” a very unusual record for a Sophomore Class. In the school operetta. T ulip Time.” two Sophomores have leading parts. The class of 1932 of the Dallastown High School, using these achieve- ments as stepping stones, is looking forward to excelling the record of previ- ous classes. G. H. Page fifty-sevev.

Or. in other words, we shall trace the present Freshman Class from the sixth grade. In past years, the cells, to be developed into a beautiful butterfly in 1933. were seen to be a group of about thirty-nine parts: began the laying of a foundation, thus becoming a unit. The cells were quite small: though few in number, they had different abilities. These cells had been collected by nature from various locations, all with a strong belief of success for a formation of the natural life. As the egg was maturing, the foundation for 1933 was. as a whole, becoming stronger. The cells seemed to be more numerous and as individuals, differed in appearance, ambition and intelli- gence. We were determined that though, as was natural of former struc- tures. we should not lose but should gain more cells for complete structure. As cells, we seemed to be pushing our way harder and harder toward the stage of final development. We appeared capable of bearing our responsibili- ties. seeing that we had been given necessary knowledge. Though the next stage of development seemed the most difficult for some of the more delicate cells, it showed the ability and efforts of the more- determined. The cells again appeared to be increasing in si .e. individually showing signs of more strength: seemingly, knowledge being stored for 1933. The egg had not run smoothly in its course, but that could not have been expected of a body composed of about fifty-five diverse parts. Breaks had occurred, though they were not serious enough to cause any real retardment. At the last days of the cells before reaching the normal stage, a final examina- tion showed that each cell was prepared to become a part of the well devel- oped, strong egg. Then in 1929 the cells, about to reach the stage of devel- opment. were sighted, eagerly awaiting the time for us to be automatically made a part of what was later to be a beautiful butterfly. The egg is now composed of fifty-two parts. Since the day. September 15. each cell has taken its part to make the egg a thing to be remembered. The egg in its first stage of development is known as the Class of '33.

On the program were selec- tions by the orchestra, chorus and the groups from the lower grades. The Music Festival was the second to be presented. It was given at a cost of much effort and its success should act as a stimulus to even greater musical attainment in the future. The program for the May Music Festival was as follows: I— Marche aux Flambeaux”..............................Scatsan-Clark Symphony So.

Supervisor of Music. The ()rchestra made great progress last year, and performed in a very creditable manner at several activities of the school. “An Adopted C inderella.' Honor Bright,’’ and at the Spring Music Festival. The )rchestra has planned for much greater things this year. Most of the members in the Orchestra this year have had the advantage of last year’s training, thus making it possible to study a more difficult grade of music. W henever the Orchestra has appeared in public, both last year and this year, it has been received, showing that the people appreciate the type of music and the delicate shades of interpretation which have been the director's goal. To show the difficult grade of music, this year's numbers include an arrangement of the lirst movement � f Schubert's Unfinished Symphony. Beethoven's “Minuet In (j. and Tschaikowsky’s Chanson Triste. With music such as this, our Orchestra need not be ashamed t perform anywhere in public. Then too. our Orchestra has a large instrumentation for a school with less than one hundred pupils. W'e have: Violins, violincello. string bass, clarinets, cornet, saxophones, drums, bells and piano. As this is only the second year that our Orchestra has been in existence, the variety of instru- ments represented in the Orchestra is very good. As the school gets larger, and the years go by, we hope to have a larger Orchestra. The Orchestra this year has appeared several times in public. It has performed for the Senior and Junior class plays. Seventeen and (lypsy Jim. and at the benefit show given by the Senior class. The Orchestra still has several engagements to fill. It will play for both Commencement and Class Day exercises. In the Spring Music Festival program the Orchestra has an important part. Page sixty-seven CHORUS Left to right. Kront row: Mr. Rohrer.

Cp until that time we had singing every morn- ing. and operettas, but last year the Girls’ Glee Club and the Orchestra were organized. This year the Orchestra has again organized, but the Girls’ Glee Club has been discontinued. Several of the boys in the school approached the director, if they. too. could not have a part in the singing. This year we have a Chorus of Mixed Voices. The Dallastown High School Chorus was organized early in the school year. At first, there were two weekly rehearsals for the Chorus, but later because of a crowded School Schedule it was reduced to one rehearsal. The Chorus has learned not only new and pretty songs, but songs by some of the masters. It has in its reportoire songs by Mozart. Brahms. Liszt. Handel. Tschaikowskv and Sibelius. Kven if the Chorus had not appeared in public, the members would have had the pleasure and joy of singing together and learning the new songs. Singing in the Chorus, one receives training that will he helpful to him in learning to read parts, and getting enjoyment from singing. The Chorus has made its first appearance in public in the Lutheran Sunday School. It sang in the Evangelical. Reformed and I’nited Brethren Sunday Schools at later dates. The Spring Music Festival is what the name implies, a program in which the musical organizations of 1). II. S. will appear. The Chorus will have an important part in this Festival. In the annual Field Meet which is held at Red Lion, among the indoor events are a number of musical events, including numbers by Glee Clubs. Our Chorus will enter this event and will have a chance of winning, because of the training it has been receiving. It has always tried to sing from mem- ory. which is the sign of a well-trained Chorus. '1'hen. too. there are Vocal Solos and Duets: without a doubt these contestants will have to come from the Chorus. Only those present at the stated rehearsals will know the inspiration that emanates from the Director. Mr. Rohrer. His attention to the details, his interpretation of the shades given to songs, his patience, endear him to the Chorus as its director. '«ge sixty-nine “TULIP TIME” For the last five years the High School has given an Operetta. T his year the ()] eretta chosen has been “Tulip T une.’’ The music of the choruses, as well as the Solos. Duels and Quartettes is very pretty and catchy and the lines, too. are full of humor. T he )perettas given by the School in former years have been success- ful always, having been repeated by popular demand, but this year we are hoping for even greater success. “Tulip Time” is very pretty and pictur- esque. the girls in their quaint Dutch costumes, and the boys with their full, short trousers. The ()peretta contains beauty of rhythm, every chorus using dance steps of some kind. The ()peretta has nine principals and the choruses of V illagers. Students, Sailor Boys and Flower Girls. The characters are: Hans (A Young Dutch Apprentice)...............Francis Wagman Aunt Anna (Christina’s Guardian).................. lmcda Xess Katinka (A Village Maiden).....................Helen Kauffman Hendrick Van Oostcr (Burgomaster)........Woodrow Flinchbatigh Christina (A Charming Dutch Girl)..........

Centuries ago the above line was quoted and we are at present only realizing its worth and value in the training of our boys and girls in our public schools. However. Dallastown has been cognizant of the meaning of the above quotation ever since the founding of her High School. Prom the very in- fancy of this institution an interest in athletics has been inspired. T rue, we have not won fame and renown, but work under the handicap of our small town was not conducive to fame or renown. But from an obscure past we are now surging forth with strength and inspiration, a zeal which only our long years of unfaltering sportsmanship could build up and foster. At first, in its egg stage, our school was rather timid and backward about sports and about competing with other schools. That timidness, that back- wardness wore off with our first few trials in the scholastic sport world. From those frays we built ourselves stronger. We did not weep over de- feat. but took lessons therefrom to aid us in our future struggles. If tears of defeat stung our eyes we merely brushed them aside so that we might see more clearly the goal of our athletic aspirations. We assailed the forts of other schools in basketball, baseball, field and track. Few trophies mark our way during our egg stage, but those few are treasured and cherished by those who have preceded us in these halls of learning. From that egg there sprang a vibrant, aggressive child, and that child, the larva, taking much from the historic and heroic struggles of its progenitor, the egg. and adding thereto some of its own new-found knowledge, crawled slowly upward through the dregs of bitter defeat to the glories of victory. Not always victorious was that ambitious larva, but where defeat was for- merly predicted, almost premeditated, victory seemed the entire scope. Where victory had been more or less a matter of accident, coincidence, or luck, it now became the obvious, the necessary, and the plausible. Gradually tile scope of endeavor was enlarging and we competed with larger schools in larger field meets, more furiously fought games, and with better teams. Suddenly the larva reached the height, crawled into a crotch of a twig and spun its cocoon. There it remained for a period of about five years. This does not mean that athletics were entirely dormant, but that games and sports were rather intermittent during this period. The fault was not in the school, but lay in the fact that we had reached our peak as individual teams and were unable to affiliate ourselves with any of the County leagues. 1'his made it very difficult for the teams to secure games. Therefore, it was only in accordance with all natural laws for the spirit of athletics to wane because of the lack of suitable opponents. After a period of lethargy and repose the chrysalis awoke from its pupa stage, burst the frail bounds of its coccoon and entered a new phase of life. The inconscquental egg, the hideous worm or larva: the dull, dead chrysalis had metamorphosed into a supreme stage of beauty and activity. The in- consequental. the dull dead became the consequent, the beautiful, the vi- brant butterfly. In this phase, which began this year, our school has participated in sport of all kinds. For the first time in the history of I). II. S. we affiliated our- selves with basketball league. This was the most important step taken in athletics for years. Of course, our inexperienced team did not do wonders, but it did pave the way for more and for better games in the coming seasons. Resides making a start in the new field of basketball, we also engaged in another new branch of field sports. In order to increase interest in field sports and also to get better training results. Mr. Koontz inaugurated an inter-class field meet. 'Phis meet was used as a basis of elimination for the Millersville field meet. We have every confidence that this newly born, beautiful butterfly will wing its way far and wide in the annals of Scholastic High School sports. It has given us. even in its first months of existence, new hope and courage. It has inspired us to higher, cleaner and better athletic ideals. The future is a shining path and we are anxious for the youthful but- terfly to try its wings upon it. In fact, the future looks so brilliant that we have expectations: no. not expectations, but it is a certainty that in the very- near future, perhaps in the coming year, we may attain a gymnasium. Much of the spirit and agitation for a modern “gym” was caused bv the metamor- phosis of the butterfly. A strong mind in a strong body. —Plato. Charles B. Koontz Coach of I). II. S. Page seventy-four CHARLES B. KOONTZ COACH OF I). II. S. Mr. Koontz has. during tin- past two baseball seasons, coached our teams in a brilliant manner. Mis teams always stood near the top and gave the winning or champion baseball clubs many cases of heart failure. This year. 1929 and '20. he has also coached our teams for the Millers- ville meet and the results of his coaching are readily seen in a comparison of scores for the same meet during the past several years. They were not Champs, but they were second placers in their class, and that is not. by any means, a low position to hold. Besides coaching our track teams he coached also our basketball team for its first year in the County league. Here again he did remarkably well with the equipment he had. and he hopes next year to produce a winning team. At present he is very busy getting the boys in shape for the Red Lion meet and also for baseball. The school, faculty and the students deeply appreciate the work that Coach Koontz has done for them.

At the field day meet were held both indoor and outdoor events, 'file indoor events that we entered were: Oratory, declamation, spelling and cur- rent events. The outdoor events that we entered were: 100-yard dash, high jump, half-mile run. running broad jump, mile relay, pole vault. 440-yard dash, shot put. discus, and the 50-yard dash, which was for the girls. Our speed kings among the girls proved their worthiness of the title at the meet. Our hoys also proved their superiority over their opponents of Class B.” in which I). 11. S. was placed because of its small enrollment. The I). 11. S. Alma Mater defenders showed good form and carried laurels in nearly all of the events. Our contestants won for Dallastown the maximum number of credits, not only for Class 'B. but for the entire meet. I). 11. S. was awarded the field day trophy for high scoring, and the Class B cup. Ye were very glad to receive these trophies, and are hoping for even better success in the 1930 meet. C. C. H. On Saturday. October 19. 1929. the annual field meet was held at Mil- lersvillc. The I). H. S. track team was well trained for the year of '29 by their coach. Charles Koontz. They were in good shape for the meet at Mil- lersville. They went to Millersville with their school spirit at its highest peak, to do their best to uphold the honor of their Alma Mater. I). 11. S. was represented in every event of the meet. There were three of our boys in every event of the meet, except in the relay team, which requires five par- ticipants from each school. Several of our contestants took second and third prizes in several events, all of which contributed to our final score. Our relay team was able to take second in the event: the team showed splendid ability and co-operation. Dallastown took second in Class ”B, after meeting rather stiff competition. Y. Y. Y.

II. S. playing independent hall, and playing it well. There were four games which our team won. The pitching of Hess and the hatting of Hess. 'Thompson and Rojahn were the big factors in Dal- lastown victories. The hig year of '28 marked the entrance of I). II. S. into the Y. C. S. L. Onr team finished in third place, winning six games and losing four. The I). Ii. S. nine was one of the most efficient and skilled fielding teams in the league. The year ’29 was a tough year for our team. Only he the breaks of one game did we lose the chance to win the pennant. ITom the beginning to the end of the season. I). H. S. was the flash of the division. It was at Stew- artstown that the first game was played. 'The cheering of the crowd nor the spirit of the Stewartstown High School could stop the Dallastown whirlwind. The pitching of Gable for I . I I. S. completely held Stewartstown. Some one said that the Dallastown outfield was called in to the bench to watch the pitcher and that the infield played the game, but it was not quite as bad as that. In the second game of the season Dallastown easily defeated North ork at the North York field. The fielding and the batting of the Dallastown team was exceptional. 'Then came the night, for indeed it was a dark inning, when that only- run of the game was scored by New Freedom, near the end of the game. The big guns of our team were quieted by Miller’s delivery for New Free- dom. 'The two New Freedom hits were collected in one inning to score the winning and only run of the game. Again Dallastown defeated Stewartstown. This time even worse than the first time. Gable’s pitching blinded the Stewartstown players, while the bats of D. H. S. sent out the runs. North York was completely submerged as she played the D. H. S. on our home field. The hitting of our team was so efficient that it seemed that our side would never be retired. The dream of winning a pennant was shattered as they played the de- ciding game of the season with New Freedom in one of the most weird and exciting games of the season. The score was tied. New freedom was at bat with two men out. a man on third base, two strikes and three balls on the batter. The next pitch was hit for a drive which was dropped by one of our fielders and the winning run was scored. Page seventy-nine BASKETBALL TEAM Left to right. Front row: James Reidcl.

We have not started like a seasoned horse in a race with a pack of mules, luit with opponents who were seasoned and I). II. S. unseasoned. Surely I). H. S. has performed a wonderful accomplishment by participat- ing in this kind of sport as beginners and to go through with as much spirit and vigor as we have. From the beginning it could easily be seen that our team was to be the losing one. but this makes no difference. I he defeat of a previous game was forgotten by the time the next game was to be played T he team always came on the floor with renewed courage and a motive to win or die while trying. This courage and vigor was not only prevalent with the team, but with the coach as well. Throughout the season ( oach Koontz gave his untiring efforts to develop a winning team. Although our team has not been a success according to winning games, it has been a success in that the wheels have been started. What can be accomplished if it is never started? Surely there would be no aeroplanes, no submarines, no Democracies or any other of our modern inventions and institutions if someone had not started the wheels. A foundation must be laid on which to build the walls of success, just so our first year in basketball has laid the foundation upon which I). H. S. can build an accomplishment. DALLASTOWX. 9—NORTH YORK. 34. December 6. 1929 1). H. S. made her debut on December 6. 1929. at North York. She lost by a score of 34-9. In the first half the North Yorkers came through consistently to roll up a score. 23-0. Our team appeared weak. With the opening of the third quarter the North York team found it had quite a dif- ferent situation to solve. T he spirit which was lacking in the first half was now instilled, and the fight was on. The North York team had a slight edge on the Blue and White, the score for the second half being 11-9 in favor of North York. DALLASTOWX. 11—DELTA, 40 December 13. 1929 The Dallastown first home game was with Delta. The two novice teams attracted wide attention. The 1). II. S. cagers displayed the school spirit of the team marvelously. In the second quarter Delta was held to a low score. Raab, in his first appearance after having been injured in a practice game, showed very good form. Dallastown, fighting till the end. was unable to regain the lead, which gave Delta the victory. DALLASTOWN, 17—WRIGHTSV1LLE, 71. December 20. 1929 The offense of the Wrightsville team proved too much for our boys. Although Wrightsville was continually scoring, our boys betrayed no dis- couragement. They showed wonderful spirit and never let up. Raab. play- ing in a new position, played a good game. Sechrist also showed fine form and greatly harassed our opponents. DALLASTOWN, 9—WEST YORK. 50 January 9. 1930 W est York, the league leaders, presented no terror to our boys of Dal- lastown. The game was speedy in every detail. Dallastown scoring all her points in the first half of the game. The famed five-man defense of the vis- itors was broken repeatedly by our cagcrs. The Koontz-coached team, work- ing like a unit, put up a fight, which showed the true spirit of I). II. S. Esh- bach. playing in his first game, made a good showing. DALLASTOWN, 3—Y. C. 1. (JUNIORS). 33 January 14, 1930 An interesting game was witnessed between the Y. C. I. (Juniors) and Dallastown. Once more the excellent fighting spirit of our boys was an out- standing factor. Although we were defeated this spirit was maintained until the very end. In spite of the score. 33-3. it was no indication of failure. Rob Sechrist. the captain of the home team, made a splendid try to gain points. DALLASTOWN. 6- -FAWN GROVE. 90 January 17. 1930 This game between Dallastown and Fawn Grove can be described as a very icy battle. Cold weather, a long drive, and disappointed but faithful followers of the Blue and White form a background for this game. Robert Flinchbaugh made a splendid showing in the game. Page eighty-two DAL LA STOW X. 8—GLEX LOCK. 35 January 21. 1930 An interesting game was played when (Hen Rock and Dallastown made their debut. The everlasting spirit of D. 11. S. continued until the end. Al- though the score was 35-8. Daugherty showed glorious spirit in the scoring of four points. DALLASTOWX. 3—RED LIOX.44 January 24. 1930 This was a game exhibiting glorious spirit, but it did not prove to be a victory. Our boys played a poor defensive game the first half, but in the second half they regained fighting spirit and returned to their old form None of the Dallastown players were able to make a field goal. DALLASTOWX. 9—SPRING GROVE. 30 January 31. 1930 Hold that team, shouted I). II. S.. and a good game our team played. The second half was played exceptionally well by our clan, for they held the Groves to three field goals and scored that many themselves. Raab played a good game, both offensive and defensive, for Dallastown. DALLASTOWX, 9—XORTH YORK. 6 February 4, 1930 Victory! Victory at last! This was the cry to be heard by the followers of D. H. S. after the Xorth York game. Our boys were finally victorious after being defeated for many times. Dallastown’s iinpenertablc defense was responsible for this victory. Points scored by the visitors were by virtue of good shots on their part. 'Phis was a fast game, the results being pleasing for Dallastown. At the end of the first half Xorth York was in the lead with a score of 5-3. During this half the ball was in Dallastown territory most of the time. In the second half Dallastown staged a rally which brought about vic- tory. The boys allowed their opponents to gain only one point this half. The final score was 9-6 in favor of the old Blue and White. Coach Koontz’s proteges. DALLASTOWN. 3—DELTA. 41 February 7. 1930 Once more the Dallastown five suffered defeat. In the first half of the V 9 3 O cy game 1). H. S. did not score a point. In the second halt the boys entered the floor with renewed vigor and lighting spirit, but unfortunately they succeeded in gaining only three points. DALLASTOWX. 18 WRIGIITSYILLK, 43 February 13. 1930 In the game with Wrightsville. Dallastovvn gained more points than had been gained in any previous game. After having easily run up a score in the second half and feeling certain of the game, Wrightsville's first team was immediately re-entered, as our team seemed to be good for the scrubs. DALLASTOWX, 3—WI AST YORK, 83 February 12. 1930 The fact that West York was leading the league at the time seemed to have a frightful effect on the I). II. S. five. They were not only defeated but swamped, the West York cagers seeming to be at home on their floor, drop- ing one goal after another. OAI.LASTOWX. 2—Y. C. 1. (JRS.), 44 February 28. 1930 Once more 1). H. S. felt the pangs of defeat, but when the clouds of battle rolled away, lo and behold, there stood the captain and his gallant crew, defeated but not afraid. Although the score of this game was not favoring I). H. S., she showed plenty of pep and kept the young tribe on the go. DALLASTOWX. 7 FAWX GROVE. 43 March 7. 1930 Defeated? Yes. but nothing to feel bad about. Our gallant crew showed the Fawn townshippers that they were not playing the same crew of rookies which they swamped a few weeks before. The memory of the former defeat no doubt sent our five on the floor with a desire to hold Fawn down. DALLASTOWX. 9—GLEN ROCK. 39 March 11. 1930 Glorious Spirit, yes. but no victory. Our five played a wonder of a game the first half, but fell the second by playing a poor defensive game. DALLASTOWN. 4- RKD LION. 58 March 13. 1930 For the second time the Lions defeated the I . II. S. live. Kven though there was a had score, it was a good game, as there were good plays and playing on both sides, especially in the last quarter, in which Red Lion was held to live points. DALLASTOWW 5—SPRING (IROVK. 42 March 21. 1930 The last game of the season and another taste of defeat. With nothing in sight except the league cellar, the I). 11. S. team had nothing for which to light. There was no deep regret over this defeat: it was only one of the seventeen. Despite the fact that the cellar was filled by our team, the I). 11. S. fans still were present with their cheers. SCRUBS Dallastown . 13 V. (’.

S. scrubs. It is true we did not win all the games, nor even a majority of them, but then it is also true that no game was a swamp or not worth while playing. The majority of the games were lost by only a few points, and in some cases lost in the last two or three minutes of the game. The scrub games have often been the real thrill of the evenings, since they were more closely played and in some cases more lively than the varsity games. Among the scrub roster there are a few promising players. 'Pile most promising, perhaps, is Robert Jackson, who has shown good form and good life as a forward. The hopes for next year’s second team look brighter than the success of this year’s results. ....... S� Vmje eiffhty-fivc PARTICIPANTS IN INDOOR EVENTS Left to right. Helen Kauffman.

Its meteoric increase in volume was the evidence of its interest. Often the ques- tion is heard, “What are the benefits of editing a school paper?” M e do not know how the paper has benefited the pupils individually, but we are cer- tain that the pupils have profited highly by our first experience. The pur- poses for publishing a school paper are numerous: we try to acquaint the people of the community with the different phases of High School life, to bring about co-operation of the parents and the faculty: The Beacon” is an instrument to further our plea for a High School Gymnasium-Auditorium: we obtain experience in the fields of organizing material, as well as in the fields of business; in our paper the best creative work in English class has been illustrated: here the students may express their opinions of all phases of student life in which they are interested: again The Beacon is a means of keeping the graduates of the High School in touch with their Alma Mater.
