History informs us that practically all the ancient governments practiced slavery in some form and it was declared that its origin was divine. Fortunately, the curtain has descended on this era of greed and in arising, it re- veals the beginning of an era of humanity. 9 f f Many submit to work, as in some sort of degrading necessity, and they desire nothing so much on earth as an escape from it. This way of thinking is the heritage of the absurd and unjust feudal system under which serfs labored, and gentlemen spent their lives in fighting and feasting. This is no way of thinking for you. To succeed, it would seem, your conception of work should be visualized as Heaven's great ordinance for human improvement. All progress of the human race and all the gran- deur of civilization has been accomplished by work—Hard Work. Why, in the great scale of things, is work ordained for us? Had it so pleased the great Ordainer, it might have been dispensed with. The world itself might have been a powerful machinery for producing all that man wants. But where, then, would have been human energy, perseverance, pa- tience, virtue, or heroism? Cut off labor with a single blow from the world, and mankind would sink to a crowd of pleasure-seeking degenerates. Let not this great ordinance be broken down. .« As you work for human improvement, you will develop a keen sense of satisfaction. You will realize that the act of creating is better than the things themselves; that exertion is nobler than enjoyment; because the laborer is greater and more worthy of honor than the idler. Through this feeling of satisfaction you will find success. It is our fervent hope that this success will be truly meritorious and great. 9 MR. TROUT'S MESSAGE WATCHMEN. WHAT OF THE NIGHT? From time immemorial, man has been concerned with what lies ahead for him. This day of which you and I are a part is no exception, for we, too, have many occasions for being anxious of the mor- row. You, as a graduating class, are launching into a way of life that is dif- ferent from anything you have experi- enced during the past twelve years. School, with all its faults, kept you under its guiding influence to a larger or lesser degree depending upon the individual. Now all that changes by a process we have come to know as graduation. You will not be forgotten but new faces will fill your places and that day-to-day con- tact with school ends. Now let’s return to our question, What of the Future? Perhaps I should not say this, but at times I have a fear for your well-being; not only you as a class but hundreds of classes like you who are completing their formal education. I know you would wonder why I should say this to you on an occasion like this. My fear is based on the ob- servation that you have not learned a true sense of values. You are the children of an age that measures success in dollars instead of service, in getting instead of giving; yes, privi- leges instead of responsibilities. That’s why school has not meant so much as it might have meant. You wished to measure success in the immediate, instead of the ultimate. It is at this point that the task of education need be stressed. We have tried to do a good job in teaching you the fundamentals, but have you learned to think, that is to think as an individual who is endowed by his Creator with a mind, a body and a soul that no other mortal may claim? It is our hope that as you leave school that the pattern of life of which you were a part continue to expand with ever-widening circles of success. We hope that you will weave into that pattern the strands of truth, love, honesty, and service. Bind them all securely together with the strong fibers of faith—faith in God and in man, faith in a better tomorrow. A short story will perhaps sum up the whole picture. An old man sat under a tree speaking to a young man just leaving high school. They discussed the problems of man- kind and of the world in general and there was much to be said about both that was un- complimentary. The old man assumed the responsibilities for the mistakes of his generation. Then the young man cynically replied, T could make a better world than that. The old man calmly and prayerfully replied, Go to it, my son. The echo from him to you is, Go to it, my son, and may the Creator of all things good give you strength for the task. 10 aTaculty JOSEPH CAMPANELLA Lebanon Valley College Bachelor oi Science Degree Pennsylvania State College Teaching Subjects: Music English MRS.

Eleanor Keeney 36 ass Poem For twelve long years we all have dreamed Of the day that has now drawn near, The time to lay our books aside, For graduation day will soon be here. The future which lies before us May sometimes be rough and steep, But we have learned to meet the hardships As over our paths they sweep. We've made many friends at D. H. S. Whom we never will forget. Fond memories we'll have fore'er As out on life's highway we step. For each one of us has a task to do, And each one has his place to fill As we leave the school we love so dear And start our work with a will. We've entered this school with a desire to learn Of the many vocations in life. We're leaving it now with a desire to serve With new courage for every strife. So, although it causes us heartache • To bid farewell to our friends, We'll find that if we let God lead us, Our joys will know no end. 37 —Patricia Gladfelter CLASS COLORS, MOTTO, FLOWER Class Flower: Yellow Rose Class Colors: Green and Gold Class Motto: He who works succeeds. 38 Cl ass Song We've come to the end of our school days at last, And soon they will seem but a dream of the past. Still we'll cherish our mem'ries, dear High School, of you. And ever be faithful to the White and the Blue. The knowledge we've gained here will help us each day To lighten our burden on life's stormy way, Tho' much is forgotten as time rushes by. We'll never forget thee, our Dallastown High. 39 —loan Conway As we, the class of 1953, are about to leave D. H. S. we look back to the many wonderful years, months and days we have spent here and the many improvements that we have seen ac- complished at D. H. S. As Freshmen, we entered D. H. S. with an eager and earnest desire to select the studies we felt would best influence our lives. Mr. Brayman, Mr. Reidel, and Miss Perry were our help- ful advisors. It was in our freshman year that the new gym was used for classes and new gym suits and shoes were dis- played for the first time. Our class chose as its leaders Paul Snyder, President; Leon Wineka, Vice-President; Joanne Hilde- brand, Secretary; and Flo Grim, Treasurer. Members to the Student Council were Mary Mellinger, Joan Conway, and Pa- tricia Gladfelter. We helped to support the gym fund by selling pencils during our first year. We ended this year with a trip to Hershey. We started our sophomore year by electing Paul Snyder as our President, Leon Wineka as Vice-President, Joanne Hilde- brand, Secretary; and Dixie Dietz, Treasurer. Our advisors were Mr. Kehm and Miss McDowell. During our sophomore year two of our girls were winners in the Voice of Democracy Contest. Patricia Reider won first prize of $5.00 and Patricia Gladfelter won second. Upon returning for our junior year, we again elected Paul Snyder as our President, Lewis Keener as Vice-President, and. 40 10 istory Joanne Hildebrand and Dixie Dietz, Secretary and Treasurer. Our advisors were Mrs. Richardson and Mr. Brayman. During our junior year we purchased our class rings from the Balfour Company and they arrived shortly before Christmas. Our jun- ior play, which was put on very successfully, was a comedy called, The Perfect Idiot.'' It was during our junior year that the cafeteria was opened. We had a grand time preparing for the Junior-Senior Prom. We had the gym beautifully decorated and Suzanne Blymire and Paul Dehoff were crowned King and Queen. At last we were back to finish our high school days at D. H. S. We again elected officers who were: President, Paul Snyder; Vice-President, Donald Ross; Secretary, Joanne Hildebrand; Treasurer, Dixie Dietz. Our advisors were Mrs. Richardson and Mr. Winemiller. Our senior play, Sing For Your Supper, directed by Mrs. Eisenhart, was well-attended. We had our class pictures taken and we received them at Christmas time. We also ordered our name cards and were kept busy preparing for our Year Book. Now we have finished our four years of high school. We are thankful for the guidance and understanding of our teachers throughout these years. 41 —Patricia Gladfelter J ast Will WE, THE CLASS OF 1953, of the Dallastown High School, of Dallastown, County of York, and State of Pennsylvania, being of strong minds, character, and beliefs, do make and promulgate this, our last will and testament, hereby cancelling and making void all previous wills by us at anytime heretofore made: Donald Becker—leaves his singing ability to John Work.

My Commission expires January 7, 1955. 43 Cl ass Prophecy At the end of our Senior year at Dallastown High School, Mr. Winemiller, our class ad- visor. wrote on a slip of paper his predictions for the members of the class of 1953. He told us that he tried to guess what each of us would be doing five years after graduation. The paper was to be read at our class reunion in 1958 and if more than ten of his predictions were wrong, Mr. Winemiller would ‘foot the bill for the evening. It is now 1963. Mr. Winemiller has just begun to read his predictions. Let's listen— Donald Docker—in the Navy Waltor Biori—an accountant Don Burk—working .at the Colonial Bessie Conway—in the Waves loan Conway—public school music teacher Dale Doller—in the Army Dixio Dietz—a housewife Bumoll Ehrhart—a well-known actor Donna Gemmill -private secretary Patricia Gladfelter—public school music teacher Dalo Goodling—truck driver Flo Grim—fashion model Ray Grim—automobile mechanic Madaleno Grcss—piano teacher Donald Hartman—working on dad’s farm Doris Herbst—typist loanne Hildebrand—working as private secretary Marvin Hildebrand—working at lumber yard Shirley Hildebrand—office work Thomas Imos—automobile mechanic Charlos Jonnings—automobile mechanic Lewis Keener—in the Navy Eleanor Koonoy—clerical work Audrey Kohler—office work Joyce Kohler—private secretary Dorothy LeGore—typist Doan Markle—a cab driver Edward Markley—in the Army Gortrudo Markloy—office work Gary Martin—personnel manager Jano McLaughlin—secretary for the F.

Paul Snyder was playing professional basketball and Velma Urey runs a nursery school. Because we had lost the wager, each class member paid restaurant owner Meredith Smith for the excellent meal and went home happily planning the next reunion of the class of 1953. 44 UNDERCLASSMEN 45 Cl UNIONS Fir� t Row, left to right: Mr� .

JUNIOR PLAY (Jdiot The high school gang just hated the boy wonder, Dan. They'd heard about his high I.Q. and they despised his Smart-Me, Dumb-You! attitude. But they needed Dan to coach Puff, the outstanding high school athlete, who was flunking his subjects. Dan, having trouble with his parents, was unwilling to tutor Puff unless the gang made his parents think he was popular and let him go to college. Dan felt that only in college would he find friends of equal mental abilities. So Dan proceeded to tutor Puff via hypnotism. His idea of hypnotism back- fired a little and when all was over, Puff no longer was interested in athlet- ics, but Shakespeare, and Dan had Latherby, a soap manufacturer who once sponsored a quiz program starring Dan, believing he was a rabbit with an extreme fondness for carrots. Dan's worried mother and father and his popular younger brother, the charming Linda, her father, who was the school principal, the athletic Puff, his girl friend, a group of peppy high school students, and the philosophical colored maid all added to the complications. In the third act, Dan pretended to be a moron by purposely answering every question on his college-entrance test wrong and by acting strangely when a brain specialist came to examine him. From then on, events built to a climax that was the very essence of far- cical fun. 71 Rhodora interrupts a tender scene Puff tries out hypnosis machine SENIOR PLAY “ Sing For The cast The high school boys??

They tried to frame Ste- phen, the music teacher, as the mystery crooner. Stephen was a nice guy, but not the crooner type and the boys hoped to discourage the girls so they would come back to them. Stephen really was the crooner, crooning only to finance his own musical career and was truly embarrassed over the swoon crowd. To detour the girls from continually hounding him, Stephen asked Susan, who was secretly in love with him, to pretend that they were engaged. Ranny and Biff upset the apple cart by framing engagements between Stephen and three of the bobby-soxers. Bossy Mrs Piper, pill-taking Mr. Piper, and pesky kid sister Pinky, along with a lady reporter, a slick photographer and a breezy girl from the adver- tising agency added complications to the plot and afforded amusement to the audience. In a fast third act, Stephen found time not only for his serious music and his crooning, but for Susan also. The bobby-sox crowd dropped all their sophisticated airs and became delightful teen-agers once again as the cur- tain fell on this captivating comedy. Although handicapped both nights by rain, the play was a success. 73 Hallowe'en Party Mr. Hays supervises gamos Spider'' eats the highest apple One of the annual Student Council-sponsored activities, the Hallowe'en Party, is every year becoming more and more popular with students of D.H.S.

Under the capable super- vision of Mr. Joseph Campanella, the group did a good job. Having only one period a week to practice during school and squeezing in other rehearsals, this choral group put on a Christmas Program for the Parent-Teachers Association, made a recording of several selections from Faust, but by far the biggest task completed by the group was their par- ticipation in the Night of Music.

After the Newport tussle, Dallastown played host to Quarryville, and won its first game by the score of 20-0. The Blue and White journeyed to Kennard-Dale after having an open date and walked off with a 25-0 victory. Having won two straight games, D. H. S. traveled to Littlestown to play under the lights. This game was perhaps the most exciting one of the season. Finding themselves on the tail-end of a 19-0 score going into the last quarter the Wildcats rallied to score 14 points and had advanced the ball to the Lit- tlestown 22-yard line when time ran out. The final score was 19-14. After losing to Littlestown, D. H. S. traveled to Washington Township for a night game, only to be defeated by the league leaders, 32-6. Dallastown played host to Patton Trade School the following week and beat the Lancaster County rivals, 21-0. After beating Patton Trade in what was to be the Wildcats' last victory, D. H. S. lost three straight games. West York defeated Dallastown in a close and exciting game which was tied at 0-0 for three quarters. West York finally broke the ice to win 7-0. Dallastown closed the season by losing to two powerful and highly-experi- enced teams, Columbia and Susquehannock. The Wildcats lost to Columbia by a 42-7 score, and Susquehannock beat D. H. S. in the season's finale, 26-14. Although the team compiled a mediocre record of 3 wins and 6 defeats, the season provided many thrills for both players and spectators. 83 FOOTBALL SNAPS Snyder carries around end in tho West York game.

After beating Kennard-Dale 59-54, the Wildcats played host to North York and avenged an early season defeat by scoring a 59-53 victory.

Having six straight league wins under their belts, and resting on top of the league in the second half race, the Wildcats encountered York Catholic in an exhibition game and bowed to this snappy outfit, 60-43. Dallastown won its seventh and eighth games of the second half by beat- ing Susquehannock and Dover. The stage was now set for a crucial battle with Red Lion. The Wildcats had the home-court advantage. Nevertheless, they dropped a 49-41 decision, their only defeat of the second half. This loss created a tie between Dallastown and North York for second half honors. North York was the first half champion. The playoff for the second half title was staged on a neutral court. The Wildcats took an early lead and maintained it throughout the game to walk off with a 46-43 decision. Following this, the playoff for the league championship was staged on the Red Lion floor. This game was an exact reversal of the previous contest. North York took an early lead, and staved off the Wildcats' last quarter rally to win the league championship. The final score was 51-43. Coach Nabors' squad compiled an overall record of 13 wins and 11 losses. The following boys are seniors who played their final basketball contest for D. H. S.: Paul Snyder.
