THE OFFICERS President Vice-president Secretary Treasurer Dr. H. Logan Fisher Mr. Lawrence M. Hartman Mr. Norman C. Shermeyer Mr. George A. Goodling 8 Administration Dr. Harry W. Shenk, Supervising Principal Members of the Class of 1955: An unknown poet has said of you. “To each is given a bag of tools, A shapeless mass and a l ook of rules, And each must make, ere life be flown, A stumbling block or a stepping stone.” You have had opportunities to discover the talents in your “bag of tools”, the various paths into which you may direct your life’s work, and the principles of the “Book of Rules” which should serve as a guide to your actions. May you be successful in mold- ing these discoveries into a life that will truly be a “stepping stone ! Harry W. Shenk 9 Administration (Ralphs 7L. (YYL ShsLtiMp, (phinnpaL The fact that you were here in 55 is verified not only by a coveted diploma but also by the many successful and meritorious projects which you sponsored during your brief stay with us. For the diploma, we congratulate you heartily. For the many projects, including this commendable volume of the Spectator, we thank you sincerely. QLavc CL. JajojuL, OA idianL (phirudfiaL To graduate in days like these causes age to envy you, for you are set in a world of opportunity. The greatest heights of hu- man understanding have yet to be scaled and the deepest pits of human misery have yet to be bridged. To you, the Class of ’55, the scourge of war, the healing of broken minds and broken bodies is a con- stant challenge. May good fortune accom- pany your every effort. 4 10 L. Hae Bamforth, B.S.

G , to visit President Truman, hut Dallastown High became the bright spot for eighty pupils enrolled in the freshman class. The class, under the direction of Miss Perry, chose these officers: president, Bonny Marshall; vice-president, Roger Brown; secretary, Norma Jean Krout; and treasurer, Donald Wise. We were represented in student council by Ronny Marshall and Benjamin Hoover. During the year Yvonne Holtzapple was accompanist for the Junior Chorus of the York Countv Music Festival. We celebrated tin close of the first year with a trip to Hershey. Celebrating the close of school, we fresh- men picnic at Hershey. In 1952 we loiter after school keeping company with 1ms pals. In 1952 the New York Yankees won their fourth successive World Series and the Dallastown Wildcats failed to become the Laurel Conference football champions. As sophomores we elected these officers: president, Benjamin I loover; vice- president, George Goodman; secretary, Ruth Ann Arnold; and treasurer, Donald Wise. Elected to student council were Nancy Cohn and Dennis Dehoff. Our adviser was Mr. Nabors. During the year the pupils were able to discard their lunch boxes for hot meals served in the new cafeteria. We ended the year with a trip to Washington, D. C. 40 History J In 1953 Dwight Eisenhower became President of the United States. In Dallastovvn High the juniors elected these officers: president, Ronny Marshall; vice-president, Donald Wise; secretary, Max Stein; and treasurer, Norma Jean Krout. Our representatives in student council were Ruth Ann Arnold, Nancy Cohn, Jerry Weidner, and Dennis Dehoff. Our adviser was Mrs. Schenck. Mrs. Richardson directed us in The Nutt Family, our play, presented in March. After the play we elected a yearbook staff and began work on prom plans. We were proud of our pretty prom at which we entertained the Class of 1954 who were soon to graduate and allow us to become •he seniors. As juniors we are happy that the gym is decorated for prom. As seniors our 1m vs line up willingly for traditional Chest X-Ray exams. In 1954 Ceorge M. Leader became Governor of Pennsylvania. In Dallastown High elections were also of interest. The seniors chose Donald Wise, president; Charles Vernon, vice-president; Ruth Ann Arnold, secretary; and Norma Jean Krout, treasurer. The student council members were Lorie Snyder, Barry Reachard, Ronny Mar- shall, and Gerald Cermick. Mr. Winemiller was class adviser. Baccalaureate service was held June 5 in the Christ Lutheran Church with Rev- erend Morris Zumbrun delivering the address. Class Day and Commencement were held June 7 and 8. The speaker for Commencement was Dr. Frederick Miller, president of Lebanon Val- ley College. 41 Charlene Peters, Historian Class Will We, the Class of 1955, of the Dallastown High School, of Dallas- town, County of York, and State of Pennsylvania, being of strong minds, character, and beliefs, do make this, our last will and testament, hereby cancelling and making void all previous wills by us heretofore made: Ruth Ann Arnold — leaves her position as business manager of the Beacon to Laura Klinedinst.

Seventh graders bringing flowers for the teacher, eighth graders giggling loud in study hall, fresh- men frowning on them both, sophomores turning from hooks to fun, and juniors working on play and prom — all these portray glimpses of the classes. 46 Upon a pleasant hillside Stands cne we love so true Our loyalty, Oh High School To thee, we pledge anew. Where’er our paths may lead us, Our praise to thee will sound. Forever we’ll be faithful. We love thee, our Dallastown, We love thee, dear Dallastown.

At the piano: Yvonne Holt- • apple. Music Music — vocal and instrumental, classical and popular — was a vital part of school life from opening assembly until Commence- ment Day. Regularly on Thursday and Friday mornings the Band practiced in the gym. The choruses were busy all year preparing for many programs. We remember especially the Night of Music, the Music Department assembly program, and the night when Dallas- town was host to the York County Music Festival. Neither will we forget the thrill of seeing our own school band making its first marching appearance at a football game nor the pride on learning that the newly-discovered Trio were winners in the County Forensics. Mr. Joseph Campanella directed each of the music groups. 09 Music SENIOR CHORUS Seated: Charlene Peters, Mary Jo Smith, Yvonne Molt .apple, Barbara Shelf, Both Ann Arnold, Norma Jean Krout.

Dallastown High has acquired a reputation of presenting an excellent girls’ trio in the County Music and Forensic contests. This year was no exception. The girls trio, consisting of three eighth graders, took first place in the York County competition held at Mount Hose Junior High on March 3. The trio, attractively attired in red dresses, made various ap- pearances in the area and were featured performers at the annual “Night of Music.” 72 Alumni Association Officers of Alumni who were hostesses at Homecoming festivities are: Mrs Charles Hartman, treasurer; Miss Lucille Spangler, president; Mrs. Richard Shaffer, secretary. Alumni gathered to celebrate Homecoming Day on the Saturday of the football game with Susquehannock. The parade through the town and the record crowd at the game were not enough to effect a victory, but the dance in the gym later that evening was fun for all. 73 Undergraduates gather for refresh- ments and chatter at intermission of Alumni Dance. Memories to treasure grow from school activities. Cur- tain time when the play begins, delicious May night of the Junior-Senior Prom, assembly period with recess from studies — all are precious times to cherish and recall again and again. 74 Junior Play THE CAST First row: Arlene Hartman, Beth Rojahn, Joanne Hartman, Charlene Peters, Norma Jean Krout, Sonja Fox.

At the height of preparation for a big dinner the maid quits. Merry mix-up follows as five maids each pretend to be the new maid. Magoon becomes quite eager to find the masquerading maid. 79 Jiinq Qomaa. and Quaatl CbiLtcc Junior - Senior Prom “An Evening in Paris” was the theme chosen for the Junior-Senior Prom held the lovely evening of May 21, 1954. The gym was attractively adorned with sparkling stars and pastel- shaded carnations. Push carts of flowers and quaint lamp posts gave a Parisian effect to the affair. Couples danced under the light of the crystal ball to the dreamy music of the Blue Moon Octet. The highlight of the evening was the crowning of the king and queen, James Wolfe and Anita Roth, chosen by the junior class. Runners up, Dean Wise and Torus Ness served as attendants to the royal pair. 80 Teachers Dancing Seniors Posing Junior Senior Prom Dancers Dreaming All Enjoying an Ev ening in Paris 81 Activities Clcnn Brcnneman, Maxine Mcindol, Karen Leader, and Rolx rt Hoover spend busy hours working on float to represent Homeroom I ft in the Homecoming parade.

Varsity Basketball WON 7—LOST 14 The 1954-55 Dallastown High School basketball team under the guidance of Coach Nabors failed to retain the York County- Championship which the Wildcats won in the 1953-54 season. Despite the fact that John Work, Robert Schields, and Dale Wise were the onlv returning lettermen, the boys came up with some very good games.
