Mr. Hays, we wish to thank you and to wish you success and happiness. 4 MRS. EISENHART Appreciation We, the Spectator staff, wish to thank you, Mrs. Eisenhart, for your friendly and cooperative advice to us. Through your devoted work and sacrificed time, we were able to assemble these pages of record- ed memories. We, the members of the senior class, thank you, Mr. Winemiller, for your faithfulness and patience in sponsoring our graduating class. In homeroom, class meetings, as- semblies, plays, yearbook work, you always gave us definite help. MR. I. W. WINEMILLER Dal I astow n High School The students of Dallastown High School for many years have known the true meaning of overcrowded conditions and poor facilities. But also, they know the homey, friendly spirit that close quarters encourage. On that future day, when stu- dents move into a new jointure high school, there will be re- grets as well as joys. 6 Administration 7 Board Of Education Loft to right: Walter Daugherty. Ura Blymire, H. Logan Fisher. Clair Shoaror, Norman Shormeyer. The class of 1954 wishes to thank the Board of Education for the many educational opportunities they afforded us in making our years at Dallastown High School successful. The board had a double-duty job to perform this year as they met every sec- ond Thursday in local meetings and every third Thursday in jointure meetings. Hindered by limited funds and operating for the first time as a jointure, the Board of Education served the school loyally and well. 8 = Messages From The Principal Members of the Class of 1954: Commencement time in high school is an occasion for both rejoicing and sorrowing. Rejoicing because you have scored success- fully in filling all requirements for gradua- tion and sorrowing because the associations of many years must be broken. Ofttimes, the farewells spoken on graduation day are farewells forever. Your school is deeply indebted to you for your many worthwhile contributions; espe- cially, the publication of this meritorious vol- ume of the Spectator—your scorebook of '54. It owes a debt of gratitude to you, the staff, and sponsors (or a job well done. While your score in '54 is of great con- cern to us, our greatest anxiety is for you in the turbulent game of life. In teaching you the rules of the game, our ardent hope was that you would apply these rules suc- cessfully to procure a score in the future v hich will be both commendable and hon- orable. RALPH N. McSHERRY Into a world that needs clear thinking, a renewed sense of morality, and a vision of purpose, you will graduate this year of 1954. For many of you, life will change its pattern by the addition of more responsibility of de- cision. The decision of what one should do with his life becomes more important, for all of us want to do those things that make life better for ourselves and others. In our en- deavor to be someone we often forget the little acts of kindness that mean so much to all of us. The daisy that grows by the road side can never be as beautiful as the rose, but the daisy can bring cheer and happiness to a heart where loneliness and gloom dwell. The sparrow's song will never be as beau- tiful as the nightingale's song, but its simple chirpings will replace despair with hope. Greatness lies in doing your small part well. If your only service will be to place a smile on the face of one who has lost the joy of living, then you shall have not lived in vain. As the sun sets in the western sky, there will be two happy people; and one of them will be you. 9 CLAIR A. TROUT FACULTY WILLIAM T. RICHARDSON, JR..

Upon entering our first year of high school as freshmen, we found ourselves under the guidance of Miss Perry, Mrs. Wagner, and Mr. Riedel. Chosen as our class leaders were Gerald Attig, president; Susan Hopkins, vice-president; Flo Strayer, secretary; and Peggy Foust, treasurer. Student council members were Mary Ann Strayer, Shirley Jamison, and Marlin Dunlap. We looked to the upperclassmen with envy. Didn't do very much but ended the school term with a trip to Hershey. The next September our sophomore class officers were Dean Wise, presi- dent; Marlin Dunlap, vice-president; Flo Strayer. secretary, and Peggy Foust, treasurer. Elected to student council were Shirley Jamison, Barbara Reider, and Deanna Miller. Our class advisers were Mrs. Eisenhart and Mr. Kehm. During our sophomore year Deanna Miller won first prize of $10.00 in the annual Voice of Democracy contest. The class also presented the Christmas assembly, which was very well received. The cafeteria was open for business during our sophomore year. Our school term ended with the annual trip to Hershey, where we left all our school worries for the summer months. After an enjoyable summer we returned to school to renew friendships and acquaintances. With the advice of Mrs. Eisenhart and Mrs. Trout, we looked forward to a busy year. Again Dean Wise was elected president. Serving with our president were David Kern, vice-president; Flo Strayer, secretary; and Ken- neth Orwig, treasurer. Torus Ness, Loma Godfrey, and Marlin Dunlap repre- sented us in student council. We ordered our class rings from the Balfour Company and received them before Christmas. Our class play, which was successfully presented under the direction of Mrs. Eisenhart, was a comedy, No More Homework. One of the highlights of the year was the Junior-Senior Prom. Using the coronation as the motif, we had a beautifully decorated scene for this event. Audrey Kohler and Jack Steininger reigned as King and Queen; while Stan Selfon's orchestra played for the dancing. The class also had the responsibility of electing a yearbook staff. 38 HISTORY- Jamek Flinchbaugh and William Benedict represented us in the Southern District Orchestra. Barbara Flinchbaugh, Deanna Miller. Flo Strayer, William Benedict, James Flinchbaugh, and John Seitz took part in the York County Music Festival. Torus Ness served as accompanist. Barbara Flinchbaugh scored an excellent rating in the State Forensics; while James Flinchbaugh won a superior rating. Torus Ness served as accompanist (or them, also. We entered our senior year under the guidance of Mr. Hays and Mr. Wine- miller. The class officers were Dean Wise, president; David Kern, vice-presi- dent; Mary Ann Strayer, secretary; and Kenneth Orwig, treasurer. Student council representatives were Torus Ness, Dean Wise, Marlin Dunlap, David Kerns, and James Wolfe. The big project for the year was the yearbook. Other highlights were selecting name cards and announcements and posing for our class pictures. The senior play, A Date With Judy, was a financial and dramatic success under the direction of Mrs. Brown. In March, Dallastown was host to the York County Music Festival, in which we were represented by Barbara Flinchbaugh, Deanna Miller, Barbara Reider, Marilyn Snyder, Flo Strayer, William Benedict, Gerald Attig, James Flinchbaugh, John Henry, and John Seitz. Torus Ness again was the tireless accompanist. James Flinchbaugh represented Dallastown in both the Southern District Orchestra and Band. Barbara Flinchbaugh won the York County Music Edu- cators’ Scholarship of one hundred dollars. The Baccalaureate services were held at the United Brethren Church with Dr. Paul E. Cooper delivering the address. The speaker for Commencement Day was Dr. Raymond Veh of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, editor of the Evan- gelical United Brethren Youth Magazine. In that busy way the years passed too quickly for most of us. However, we feel that the help and guidance which our teachers have given us will serve us in the adventure ahead. We wish to thank them for their services and for their friendship. We wish also to express our good wishes to the juniors who become seniors as we join the ranks of Dallastown High Alumni. 39 PEGGY FOUST LAST WILL WE, THE CLASS OF 1954, of the Dallastown High School, of Dallastown, County of York, and State of Pennsylvania, being of strong minds, charac- ter. and beliefs, do make and promulgate this, our last will and testament, hereby cancelling and making void all previous wills by us at anytime here- tofore made: Gerald Attig—leave my flash camera to Jerry Weidner.

My Commission expires January 7, 1955. 41 Entering the grounds of Indian Steps Museum, Marilyn and I hear the shouts of laughter coming from every comer of the place. Striding down to the river bank, we spy Lewis and Kenny enjoying our fifth year class reunion with a swim. On an open strip of ground, Dave and Jim are pitching a base- ball back and forth. Looking toward the river again we see Joe and John surrounded by fishing equipment and angling from a boat. Under one of the huge trees we stop to talk to Torus, Barb, Audrey, and Mary Ann, who are laughing as they recall some of those pleasant high school days. Time flies as we look at old snapshots and scrapbooks, and soon we gather round the picnic tables and answer the secretary's roll call by telling about our work.

We'll remember friends we made here, The joys and griefs that we shared. The activities that we worked in, The extra time we gladly spared. We'll remember days of learning, The hopes and dreams we wished to fill, The ideals that our teachers gave us, Guideposts to help us up life's hill. Alma Mater, now we're leaving, One thought more before we go; We'd like to say in tribute earnest, Dallastown, we love you so. 46 Mary Ann Strayer. 47 JUNIORS First row, left to right: Charlene Peter .

The chorus was responsible for the music at the Christmas PTA meeting. The biggest accomplishment of the year came in April when the second Night of Music” was presented in the Memorial Auditorium. The group presented a very fine program which was climaxed by the presentation of a concertized version of CARMEN. 70 JUNIOR CHORUS First row.

Eiscnhart 76 HOMEWORK JUNIOR PLAY NO MORE HOMEWORK by John Henderson was the delightful comedy chosen as the junior play. The plot was an account of what happens when force of circumstances propels three high school students into the roles of principal, vice-principal, and school secretary in a typical high school. Pamela Jones, student council president and the substitute principal, is forced to decide whether or not to abolish homework, to support an unpopu- lar teacher, to keep the star athlete from the state basketball tournament. Buzz Bailey, Pam's boy friend acting as vice-principal and home ec teacher, adds to the merriment. Romance among two elderly teachers, a feud between the janitor and scrubwoman, a Limburger cheese sandwich locked in a trunkful of play costumes contribute many dramatic comedy scenes. Pamela in a v hirl of mounting problems turns the whole school upside down and everyone down on her. Only with the return of Mr. Lindquist, the real principal, do the situations right themselves and the students are truly given NO MORE HOMEWORK ... for just one day. 77 SENIOR PLAY A DATE A DATE WITH JUDY by Arleen Leslie Judy Foster Molvin Foster Dora Foster Randolph Foster Hannah Barbara Winsocket Oogie Fringle THE PLAYERS Flo Strayer .....

Judy writes a “true confession story, I Am a Bigamist. Unfortunately, the true confession is read to the P.T.A. by Mrs. Schlutzhammer as though it were the speech of the absent Mrs. Foster. Judy, meanwhile, has arranged an audition for herself and Mitzi with a theatrical producer. They overact a scene from the school play for the bored producer. Just then, Mrs. Schlutzhammer sv eeps in. waving the confession manuscript' and demanding that Mrs. Foster resign from P.T.A. On top of this, Oogie barges in to tell Judy that her indecision prompted him to invite Tootsie Whitman to the dance.

The sweet fragrance of lilacs filled the gymnasium as everyone danced to the music of Stan Selfon's orchestra. Hundreds of metallic colored coronets were suspended from the ceiling as they interpreted the theme—Coronation. The tables with centerpieces of lilacs were placed by palm trees. As the couples descended to the basement for a royal treat, they walked under an arch covered with lilacs. The high- light of the prom was the crowning of the King and Queen, Jack Steininger and Audrey Kohler. A white carpet was rolled before the king and queen who proceeded to their thrones to be crowned by Mr. McSherry. Slowly, the couples dispersed while strains of Goodnight Sweetheart lingered in the air and the gymnasium became only an empty castle. 80 Junior-Senior Prom Is it April in Portugal” or Song from Moulin Rouge” which has loo dreamy-eyod?

After three weeks of practice under a hot sun, the homo boys just couldn't get going strong enough to hold back Newport with their half- back. Bob Rice, who scored four touchdowns for them. DALLASTOWN 12 — KENNARD DALE 6 After three weeks of hard practice Dallastown fielded a much improved team which defeated Kennard Dale by 12-6. It was a hard game to win or lose. It took Dallastown until the last quarter to pul the winning touchdown across. With beautiful faking from the other backs, Lewis Noll, on a handoff from Phil Conway, carried the ball over from the 6-yard line. A ninety-yard run by A! Heyn produced Kennard Dale's only score. DALLASTOWN 31 — LITTLESTOWN 6 D. H. S. continued to win by defeating Uttles- town at Dallastown. Dallastown started early in the first quarter and kept going throughout the whole game.

DALLASTOWN 26 —WEST YORK 6 Dallastown's team, growing more powerful, clawed West York, on October 31 by a score of 26 to 6 Dallastown started well by scoring quickly after intercepting a West York pass. They scored again in the second period with Wolfe going over from the three and again in the third quarter on a beautiful bootleg play by quarterback, Phil Conway. An- other touchdown recorded was on a pass from Conway to Kern in the third period. Finally West York scored in the fourth period to make the score 26 to 6. 86 Conway swings around loit ond. Noll scores against Littlostown. REVIEW OALLASTOWN 20 — WASHINGTON TWP. 27 A hcrrd-fought battle on tho home field with Washington Township eventually turned out to be the battle for the championship of the Laurel Conference. After fighting the enemy to a standstill for the first three quarters, Dal- lastown succumbed on .a pas3 play that raised a lot of commotion. Dallastown claimed that their pass defender was pushed by the pass receiver so that he could catch the ball. The touchdown was given to Washington Town- ship and that was the end of the scoring for the afternoon. Benedict, number 40, does a right about face. DALLASTOWN 26 — PATTON TRADE 13 Tho Saturday following the Washington Town- ship game, Dallastown came back with a bang to defeat Patton Trade School in an exhibition game at Dallastown Patton’s small, but fast team gave Dallastown a fight until the start of the third quarter. When Dallastown finally got rolling there was nothing to stop them. This game was the third tussle with Patton Trade in a rivalry which began three years ago. DALLASTOWN 27 — SUSOUEHANNOCK 19 Again the power of tho Wildcats proved the deciding factor as they defeated Susquohannock in the only game of the season which they played away from home. They defeated Sus- quehannock at New Freedom 27-19. Dallastown won the game on a powerful drive in the third period after they had been tied up three times in tho afternoon. This w.as the first game Dallas- town won from Susquehannock since they start- ed to play each other in 1951. Dallastown's powerful backfield: Wolfe. Dunlap, Noll, and Conway, with Wolfe and Noll supplying the power, started their drive on the Warrior's 35- yard line and continued to move without being stopped to a touchdown that won the game for them. Wolfe scored the winning touchdown for the Wildcats. Dallastown faces W. Township; thoy face the hot sun. 87 Noll comes through fog to gain on Susquehannock.

North York was just as eager and with a last quarter spurt defeated the Wildcats. David Kern was high scorer for the Wildcats with 18 points. The defeat was only a little less dis- tasteful when the news came that Wrightsville was defeated by West York The dual upsets left the defeated teams deadlocked in a tie for first place, making a playoff game necessary. 90 Story Dallastown 52 — Wrightsvillo 51 Dallastown cmd Wrightsvillo journeyed to Rod Lion to meet for the second time during the first half. This meeting was to determine the champion of the first half. For three quarters the Wildcats and Rivertowners fought on oven terms with Dal- lastown in the lead 43-42 when the third period ended.

Dallastown 40 — Manchostor 44 Manchester invaded Dallastown and edged the Wildcats 44-40. There was a greater loss to the Dallastown team, however, than the loss inflicted by Manchester, as James Wolfe, leading Dallastown scorer, fractured his right leg while attempting a jump shot.

Dallastown outscored North York 39 to 29 in the first half and thon held off a North York rally to win. Don Wise hit for 21 and David Kern scored 19 to bring home the victory. Dallastown 54 — Spring Grove 51 After winning the first-half championship, Dallas- town faded in the second-half as a result of losing the services of Jim Wolfe in an early second-half game. Spring Grove went through this half of league play without a defeat. Therefore, Dallas- town and Spring Grove were qualified as contend- ers for the league crown. The championship game was played on the York Junior College floor before more than 1000 fans. DalLastown, not given very much of a chance to win, had to fight uphill during the entire first 30 minutes of play.

Fight! 99 Senior Cheerleaders Flrit row, left to right: Marilyn Snyder, Flo Strayer. Second row: Beth Rojnhn, Phylli Grim, Barbara Flinchbaugh. Third row: Norma Jean Krout, Marilyn Ge � ey, Barbara Reider. The senior high cheerleading squad was composed of four juniors and four seniors. This peppy group kept the fans cheering the team to victory whenever games became tense. In spite of bad weather or home work as- signments, the girls in blue and white were faithful through full schedules in the football and the basketball seasons. Mrs. Schenck and Mr. Campanella were the advisers to the squad. Every Dallastown High alumnus will long remember the thrill of yelling, “Blue and White Fight, fight Blue and White Fight, fight Who fight? We fight! Blue and White—fight, fightl 100 101 Pairons Rev.
