Looking back we see that the past fifty years have been an era of progress. Just as other things have changed in this era, so has Dallastown High School. In our yearbook the class of 1950 has strived to review the past, live the present, and look to the future. 2 —+ n Miss Gloria McDowell We, the class of SO”, wish to dedicate our year- book to Miss Gloria McDowell, our Junior year adviser. Throughout our high school years Miss McDowell never failed to help us when we needed it most and loyally supported our class activities. Therefore, we dedicate this yearbook to her. 3 +' Appreciation Mr. William Kehm We, the Class of 50”, wish to express our apprecia- tion to Mr. William Kehm. Mr. Kehm, our Sophomore adviser, helped us to prepare for a successful high school career. We, the Senior Class, are deeply indebted to him. 4 + Staff's Appreciation Miss Dorothy Barr We, the staff of the 1950 Spectator, wish to express our deep appreciation and grat- itude to Miss Dorothy Barr and Mr. I.

McSHERRY Principal University of Pennsylvania Bachelor of Science Degree Temple University Master of Education Degree Teaching Subject: Guidance To live a worthwhile life is never easy. To conquer oneself, to win spiritual victory, to maintain courage and cheer in the face of dis- appointment, discouragement, and danger is not without difficulty. You must shun deceit- ful short-cuts to your goals, a means of quick progress without persistent effort. Being hu- man, you are particularly prone to expect that some proclaimed panacea will relieve you of the responsibility for clear thinking and hard labor. The road that you have trav- eled is marked by discarded signboards bear- ing slogans that promised high hopes but fail- ed to stimulate the continuing activity that might have accelerated your progress. A con stant look into the heavens and a heart com- panionship with our God will offer you the highest hopes and will help you daily to get the true values of life. By so doing, you will bring yourself to a destination of worth. During your six years in Dallastown High School, the many successful and meritorius projects you have sponsored is specific evi- dence of your will to do the best with what you have. Your sincere faith in your school and its educational procedures, your loyal support of its extra-curricular activities, your tireless efforts and patronage in raising funds for the new gymnasium, and your greatest endeavor, the 1950 Spectator, are symbolic of your will to do. For these symbols we are indeed grateful. Those who have attempted to guide you through the processes of education will eager- ly await your success in a world that demands the exercise of keen intelligence and coura- geous endeavor. Members of the Class of 1950: The processes of education are complex and their results differ. No two of your mem- bers have progressed at the same rate; there- fore that which you have to work with will vary according to your innate ability and your educational achievement. However, as members of a growing community and an analytical world, you should choose to use the powers and knowledge you have developed to do your best for the good of humanity and for a worthwhile life. This is no easy task. To do good for humanity you must have a faith in the masses of people, faith in their capacity to develop their own criteria of truth and value, faith in their ability to govern themselves, faith in their sincerity, their al- truism and their capacity for growth. In the presence of a faith such as this you take on a dignity and an importance. Such an attitude causes parents to have faith in their children, teachers to have faith in their pupils, govern- ments to have faith in their citizens, and na- tions to have faith in each other. 9 MISS DOROTHY BARR + Ursinus College Bachelor of Arts Degree Bucknell University Pennsylvania State College Teaching Subjects: Latin French English MR.

Dale Zeigler 29 +•— Class Histon 9J As we are about to leave Dallastown High School’s halls of learning, we pause for a moment, our thoughts turning back to the time when we first entered here. Freshmen! An eager, rather noisy group, under the sympathetic guidance of Miss Mary Perry, our sponsor, we began the ’46- '47 school year by selecting our studies, which would, as time goes by. greatly influence our lives. Our class, consisting of those who had been going to school together the previous eight years and the new out-of-town students chose as our leaders for the year; Mahlon Wire, president; William Hess, vice-president; Myrtle Spangler, secretary; Enos Eberly, treasurer; and William Mego and Enos Eber- ly, student council representatives. Taking time off from our studies for get- ting acquainted with our new classmates, we had loads of fun on several hayrides. Celebrat- ing the end of our Freshman year, we spent an enjoyable day at the Hershey Amusement Park. In the fall of 1947 we again resumed our studies, this time as Sophomores, our first year in senior high school. Enos Eberly was chosen to lead the class. Mahlon Wire to assist him, Patricia Dehoff to keep the minutes, Carlton Grim to take charge of finances and also, along with Rae Bamforth, to represent the sophomore class in the stu- dent governing body, the student council. This year we spent an evening of fun bowl- ing. dancing, playing pool, table tennis, shuffle board, and participating in other games at the Red Lion Country Club. Every class was working hard to help ob- tain a then, not yet realized goal of a new gymnasium for Dallastown and we were no exception. We successfully staged a “Night of Music” in which both local and class talent participated. During the year, our sponsor, Mr. William Kehm, never failed to give us a helping hand or some good advice when we most needed it. We spent our last days as Sophomores at Hershey. After summer's vacation, we returned to an event- ful Junior year. Enos Eberly was elected president; Lowell Withers, vice-president; Patricia Dehoff, secretary; Carlton Grim, once more served as both treasurer and student council representative; and William Hess, Rae Bamforth, and Vernon Shields were our other representatives to student council. In the early part of the year we had a class party at the Red Lion Country Club. This year we had two projects to work for: the gymnasium of which we watched the building with interest, and the yearbook which we would plan and publish in our sen- ior year. 30 Class llislur We canvassed the town selling chicken corn soup and with co operation of the towns- people, had a successful soup sale on March 26, donating the profit to the gym fund. From the Balfour Company we ordered our class rings and in March we eagerly wel- comed their arrival. April 22, we sponsored the “Charles Noss Pictures”, our junior year project for the year- book fund. Being well attended, it was suc- cessful, also. Mr. Noss showed the travelogue “California, Land of Enchantment.” The next event on our busy schedule was the presentation of our junior play on May 8 and 9, “We Shook the Family Tree,” a com- edy, under the direction of our class sponsor, Miss Gloria McDowell. We celebrated this success by having a class get-together at the Orange Top. Junior play worries being over, we then began planning for the annual Junior-Senior Promenade. We spent the evening of May 27 dancing to the music of the “Diamonds”, and watched the king and queen we had chosen being crowned in the new gymnasium which we had decorated properly for this festive occasion which we’ll always remember. We again journeyed to Hershey for our farewell day and. needless to say, everyone had a good time swimming, riding on the thrilling rides, canoeing, boating, and visiting the various buildings. Seniors! Now we were put under the experienced sponsorship of Mr. I. W. Winemiller who helped us settle many of our differ- ences. Again, we put on the capable shoulders of Enos Eberly the burden of being president and carrying us through our last year. Lowell Withers ably assisted him while Patricia Dehoff kept the record book and Carlton Grim collected dues and otherwise took care of our many financial troubles. Rae Bamforth, William Hess, Ralph Shellenberger, and Vernon Shieds served as student council representatives. Repeating experiences of previous years, we spent an evening just having a good time at the Red Lion Country Club. November 28 and 29 we displayed the dramatic talents of our class in the senior play, a hilarious comedy, entitled, “Grandad Steps Out”. It was a big success for which the credit goes to Miss Gloria McDowell, the director. This time we all celebrated at the Candle Light. Time for accomplishing the tasks which are a part of every senior year, we chose our class colors, class motto, and class flower. We did more serious planning on our yearbook and were happy to see it go to press. As our graduation exercises, Baccalaureate, Class Day and Commencement drew near, it was almost unbelievably difficult to realize that four such worthwhile and happy years were over. Although time does not stand still and we cannot relive our years as a high school class preparing for life together, we can reminisce and keep the memories of our friendships with classmates and faculty, and memories of our participations in extra-cur- ricular activities as well as studies, in our hearts when we will no longer be freshmen or juniors but the class of ’50 and proud alumni of Dallastown High School. by Patricia Dehoff, ’50 31 CLASS COLORS: Maroon and White CLASS MOTTO: Do the best with what you have; it's all you have to work with. CLASS FLOWER: White Rose 32 ______ Class I iiem Alma Mater, dear old high school, One we love so much, We'll always sing thy praises, With thee, keep in touch. Forever we’ll remember The many friends we met Within thy worthy portals; But now these years are spent. Not as students, nor as children, Do we hail thee now, But as adults, and alumni, We make this fervent vow. Tho’ the years pass quickly, And we will grow old, We shall always love thee, Within our hearts enfold. The memories we’ll treasure Of years within thy halls, But high school days are over, The Commencement curtain falls. By Rae Bamforth 33 Class San !

The Junior-Senior Prom of 1949 was the first one held in the new gym. The Crystal ball, suspended from the ceiling, reflected many colored spots of light everywhere. In the center of the floor was the wishing well, bedecked with flowers. The rose-covered archway was the throne of the King and Queen of the Prom. The Junior Class chose Gene Warner as the King and Norma Blessing as the Queen. “The Diamonds” furnished the music for the gala affair. 68 + Junior-Senior During intermission, refreshments were served and the girls took time out for chatting. After the King and Queen dance, all those present joined in the Grand March. 69 ■I ii ii i ii r + Brotherly advice. Freddie asks for a date. Hildegarde Mr. Dolson M rs.

Bob’s pants disappear. V _____ Jii ii i iir Pia Ellie-May brings the news. Finally everything turns out all right. Hildegarde, who is tired of being a wallflower, makes a speech at school, in the hopes of attracting the boys. The only thing she accomplishes is to make people think her father, Mr. Dolson, is a drunkard who starves and beats his wife and children. Hildegarde’s mother, Mrs. Dolson, asks Freddie Shermer to take Hildegarde to the school prom. Hildegarde, not knowing who her date is to be, raves about her “dream man” who is very much a “man of the world.” The other girls, Ellie-May and Jill, are greatly impressed and curious about her date. When the truth comes out, the girls laugh and Hildegarde is mortified. Freddie is defin- itely not a “man of the world.” Freddie wears knickers. Hildegarde’s younger brothers. Bob and Jimmy, always seem to be getting her into trouble while her sister Sally is trying to get her out. Mr. Shermer, Freddie’s father and Mr. Dol- son’s boss at the bank, is very conscious of a banker’s position and cannot stand anything even closely connected with scandal. The antics of Hildegarde and her brothers and sister cause Mr. Shermer many anxious moments during which he wonders whether Mr. Dolson is fit to work in a bank. Mrs. Shermer is afraid to let Freddie grow up because she doesn’t want to grow old. Little Paige Mason, the neighbor’s child who likes to play postman, adds to the general confus:on by delivering Mr. Dolson’s youthful love letters to the neighbors. Hildegarde and Freddie become desperate, the parents worry, the confusion increases, and the laughs pile up as this family comedy comes to a swift hilarious ending. 71 Senior Nay ._________________ t (i r a ii (I a il Steps 0111 Grandad gets a helping hand.

Grandad, ill a year ago, is still considered an invalid by his daughter, Mrs. Morton, who feeds him on nothing but soup and crackers while he dreams of thick, juicy steaks. An old friend. “Big Jim Mahoney”, returns from M out in Arizona” and plans to stage a supper for all his boyhood pals. Jim helps Grandad make plans to get out of the house without his daugh- ter’s knowing. Unfortunately, all his clothes are in storage. His grandson, Kip. has come for a visit, so they bribe the maid to sneak Kip’s clothes out of his room. Grandad appears in the suit wearing a red bow tie, his coat sleeves nearly up to his elbows, and his pants halfway up to his knees. The two old men sneak out of the house with nobody the wiser. A nosey old-maid across the street sees them and telephones Mrs. Morton, who scoffs at the idea, saying her father is asleep on the sofa. It is really Tilly, the maid, who has been bribed by Grandad to cover up with a blanket and snore at intervals. Kip. who has a date to go to the movies with the girl next door, gets a shock when he finds his suit missing. His older sister. Betty, and her boy friend make the discovery that Grandad has disappeared. Assuming that a burglar has stolen Kip’s suit and kidnapped Grandad, they notify the police. The tempo now gets faster and faster. While the detective, a regular “human bloodhound, and the family are out looking for Grandad, he and Big Jim slip into the house with mysterious band- ages around their heads. A surprising romance develops just before the final curtain. 73 Meet 1 ri z o n a Operetta . Rennie Maria______ Cappy -------- Aunt Lavinia Bertie________ Jack Guldy Larry Benson Emily Antonio ...

Orphaned Larry Benson, adopted by Colonel Blair at the age of three, and, though not of legal status, brought up like the Colonel’s own son, declares that the dying man mentioned making a will. Jack Guldy, ranch manager, voices doubts of there ever having been a will. Between these two, Cappy, Corral Boss at the Ranch for many years, steers a cautious and delicate course. Into this setting of mystery and suspicion comes the Colonel’s Vermont niece. Lettie Blair, with girl companions, to be guest Dudines at the Ranch. Let- tie has been invited because, if no will is found, she, as next of kin, will inherit the Dude Ranch. Lettie is early made aware of the Benson-Guldy feud. She hears Larry hint that Jack Guldy could profit if no will is found. She also listens to Guldy’s rather brutal avowal that the Colonel had planned, had he lived, to induce Lettie to visit the Ranch and to try to marry her off to Larry. Thus the impasse between the pair, that Guldy intends, is early set up. To proud Lettie, the shame of being ‘’married off” is unendurable. Equally proud Larry grows haughty and aloof. This is distressingly unfortunate, because, truth to tell, they have really fallen in love at first sight. Then, surprise of surprises! Cappy brings the Will to light. It is a will that leaves the undivided estate to Lettie and Larry only if they love and marry with- out undue, outside influence. And, of course, Cappy doesn’t really exert “undue influence,” though he wears his heart out trying. It is sly Cupid who keeps the pressure on all the time, unknown to any but himself. 75 II (sil I Ii II oh hi Lett to right: Medical Clerk, Mrs, Helen Ness; School Nurse, Miss Helen Swans; Medical Examiner, Dr. W.

Dallastown High School opened its 1949 football season with an exhibition game a- gainst a strong Quincy Orphanage eleven who had defeated them a year earlier. Dallastown took the lead 6-0 just before the half as Tom Conway intercepted a pass and went 65 yards for a touchdown. In the second half, Quincy tied the score at 6-6 but the locals came back with a fourth period touchdown to annex the game 12 6. The next game opened the Little Six Con- ference in which Dallastown’s Wildcats met York Springs under the lights at York Springs. Dallastown scored fast and furious as they came home with a 31-13 triumph. Dallastown’s Wildcats then came home to their new field to defeat a small but stubborn Stewartstown team 26-0. It took the locals a while to get started but they were superior the entire game. An exhibition game against the York High Reserves was the next team blocking the path to an undefeated season. In a game that was hard fought the entire way, Dallastown emerged with their fourth straight victory 12-0. Again, the Wildcats went back to confer- ence play as they won a thriller from Wash- ington Township. Ralph Shellenberger made a spectacular catch of a pass in the dying minutes of the game and kept Dallastown’s record unblemished. 80 Littlestown tries an end run. _ Fu ii 11) a The football band. With a record of five wins and no defeats for the season, Dallastown journeyed to New Freedom where they met a determined team of New Freedom High School gridders. This game was one of the hardest played of the year. The teams battled back and forth for most of the first half. A passing attack by Dallastown set up the first touchdown. In the second half the Wildcats gained another by an interception and went on to win 12-0. The Wildcats of 1949 had a great chance of having an undefeated season. One game stood in their way. They would have to meet a powerful Littlestown team. This game would also decide the “Little Six” champion- ship. The game was played on the Dallastown field. It was the most thrilling of the year as the teams battled back and forth the entire game. At one time Dallastown was ahead, then it was tied; but finally Littlestown won 19-13. This ended the Wildcats’ hopes of an undefeated season. All in all, the 1949 Dallastown football team had a very good record of six wins and one defeat. Although they did not win the championship they had the best record of any Dallastown team in the percentage of wins and losses. 31 Heindel, Ferree, Hess, and Conway are con- gratulated by Coach Leber. +' lsf. row, left to ri£ht: Business Managers Lester Gross, Gerald Grim, Lowell Withers. 2nd. row: Ray Knapcr, Robert Waltcmeyer.

West York beat the inexper- ienced Blue and White team, 36-16. Then followed exhibition games with Patton Trade School, Spring Grove, and Red Lion. Dallas- town lost to Patton Trade 60-39, Spring Grove 37-33, and Red Lion 44-31. After losing four straight exhibition games, Dallastown’s Blue and White juggernaut went into high gear. Dallastown opened its league season against Glen Rock and came out on top 39-31. Dallastown rolled over Stewarts- town 40-24 and then took time out from league play to defeat the Alumni 59-30. Dallastown met its nemesis, Hallam High School. After a hard fought game, Dallastown emerged on top 35-27. The Wildcats then journeyed to Fawn Grove to meet Delta. Dallastown thumped Delta to the tune of 50-35. The exhibition thriller came next as Dallastown met West York on the latter’s floor. In a game that was nip and tuck from the opening whistle, Dallastown captured a thrilling 33-32 victory. Another exhibition game found Red Lion ending Dallastown’s six game winning streak 46-38. Dallastown resumed its league campaign with a 54-27 conquest over Codorus. Next in line was Mt. Rose who fell by the wayside 40-26. Then the Wildcats hit the surprise game of the season. Glen Rock built up a lead which the team could not overcome and they went down to their first league loss 47-35. The Blue and White went back to their win- ning ways against Stewartstown 57-27. The defending champs then proceeded to do something which no other high school varsity had accomplished in some years. Dal- lastown went to Hallam and defeated them, 48-45, on Hallam’s home floor. Inspired by the Hallam victory Dallastown defeated Delta 45-26 and Codorus 63-41. Then only one game remained between the D. H. S. cagers and the Southern Division champion- ship. Dallastown met Mt. Rose for the cham- pionship on February 17 at Mt. Rose. Playing a slow, methodical game, D. H. S. en- countered little trouble as they won the game 42-19. Dallastown warmed up for its playoff games by playing two exhibition games with Spring Grove and Patton Trade School. Dallastown ran into trouble with the Paper Town team and ended on the short end of a 33-29 count. Seeking revenge for an earlier defeat, the Wildcats buried Patton Trade 72-19. Then Dallastown entered the District 3, Class C. P.I.A.A. playoffs. Dallastown met Newville High School of Cumberland County at York Junior College. The time of the big game was February 27, 8:00 P.M. At the end of the first quarter the Wildcats found them- selves with a 13-10 lead. They increased the lead to 25-13 at halftime. The lead mounted to 38-22 at the end of the third quarter and at the finish, the Wildcats had capped a 48-38 victory. They had earned the right to meet Scotland Orphanage, who had defeated them twice in preceding years. Dallastown went into the game seeking revenge. The two teams met on the Gettysburg Col- lege floor on March 2, 1950. Dallastown took command in the first quarter 10-2. After this the boys from D-town were never headed and they beat Scotland’s defending champs by a score of 38-27. Dallastown went into the semi-finals a- gainst New Holland High School at York Junior College. After playing on even terms for three quarters, Dallastown fell apart. They couldn’t stop the scoring antics of Bill Sweigart, New Holland’s towering pivotman, and were defeated 51-28. Dallastown met Wrightsville High for the county championship March 14, 1950. By overcoming a decided disadvantage in height, Dallastown won a hard-fought 37-32 victory. 83 Jii ii i iir II i | Ii II ask dh a 11 . Is , row, left to ri ht: Charles Vernon.

During the 1949-50 campaign our lads from Junior High had rough sailing. Their season record was one win and eleven losses. The main factor was the lack of experience. The boys had many close games in which they just couldn’t quite make it. They did manage to edge past Dover 31-30 in an extra period. The boys fought down to the final whistle and were rewarded with the victory. The team had only one holdover from last year—Paul Snyder. Coach Leber had to try to build his entire new squad around Snyder which proved to be a dif- ficult task. Although this team had only limited success this year, they received invalu- able experience which can be used as they progress into the Senior High School. Under Coach Leber’s tutelage they should prove to be an important factor in Dallastown’s basketball future. 84 __ lliiseliall Although the 1949 season was not too successful the Wildcats Baseball team for this year had some fine prospects. Coach William Kehm lost one regular from last year’s team through grad- uation. During the summer he also coached a championship Baseball for Boys team. He had most of these boys playing high school ball this season. Back from the 1949 team were: Carlton Grim. Ralph Shellenberger, Enos Eberly, Lowell Withers. James Hartman. Mahlon Wire, and Gerald Grim. These seniors played their last year for the Blue and White. The Class of ’50 wishes future baseball teams the best of luck. 85 + It ii vs Seni ii r Ili oil Track 9J C Is , row, loft to right: Harry Ness, Ronald Heindel, Bruce Fink.

From the Senior Class came Carlton Grim, veteran half-miler. Mahlon Wire, sprinter, and Randall Imes, high jumper. This was the third year of competition for these boys. The Junior Class was represented by Ronald Heindel, who took first place in the high jump at the York County Meet last year, Clair Stump and Darrell Winters, relay men, Jon Smeigh, half-miler, and Dean Hartman, discus-thrower. Together with the Sophomores, these veterans formed a well-rounded track team. The team schedule was: April 7 April 12 April 15 April 22 April 26 April 29 May 5 May 15 — Columbia — Biglerville — Washington Township — Shippensburg Meet — Delta — Penn Relays — York County Meet — Lancaster District Meet 86 .

With only two veterans returning from last year’s squad, the Junior High School again went into the process of molding a new team. John Shue, speedy dash man, and Paul Snyder, high jumper, were the only hold-overs from last year’s squad. Coach Leber molded his team around these two boys with the expectation of finding capable men for every event. Paul Dehoff was advanced to the Senior High School team. Dehoff won the high jump at the York County Meet la9t year and set a new county Junior High School record. Snyder had the task of filling his shoes. The Junior High has always had a good turnout of track material, and so, to Coach Leber, we say again, Do your best, and the best will go with it.” 87 tiirl Senior llioli Track _ W Is , row, lelt to right: Ruth Holtzapple, Faith Rojahn, Donna Stabley.
