PROPOSED DALLASTOWN AREA JUNIOR-SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL The 1956 Senior Class of Dallastown Area High School presents The Spectator Dallastown, Pennsylvania JUST AS THE UNDERCLASSMEN eagerly watch the plan- ning of the new jointure school, we seniors of Dallastown look forward to graduation and maturity. The senior class of Dallastown Area High School, proudly presents to you, the reader, the book with the forward look. ii Sections Foreword Page 2 Administration Page 6 Seniors Page 16 Classes Page 46 Organizations Page 62 Activities Page 78 Athletics Page 88 Epilogue Page 108 Patrons Page 110 4 Business Patrons Page 112 Dedication When we, the class of 1956, nervously entered our first year of high school at Dallastown, we were soon put to ease by the understanding and patience of Mrs. Claire Eisenhart. As our high school years progressed, we soon recognized Mrs. Eisenhart not only as a teacher but also as a friend and adviser. As a teacher Mrs. Eisenhart instructed us in Eng- lish, constantly urging and encouraging 11s when the way became rough, inspiring us to better literature and grammar, and teaching us the true value of ap- preciation. As an adviser Mrs. Eisenhart came into contact with us as homeroom sponsor and as adviser to our school magazine, the Beacon. As a friend Mrs. Eisenhart helped us with countless personal problems. The Class of 1956 therefore dedicates this volume of the Spectator to Mrs. Claire Eisenhart, whose end- less patience and untiring efforts have made our school days more pleasant. May the dedication of this yearbook show in part the appreciation and respect to one who so richly deserves all the honor we can afford her. MBS.

To the Board of Education, the class of 1956 extends its sincere appreciation for the many hours spent in planning the new high school building, carrying out the budget, and formu- lating policies for the district. 8 Administration As I glance through some papers in my files, 1 notice some evidence of a hope I had at one time that you, the members of the Class of '56, would be gradu- ated from the high school after it had been housed in a new building. Conditions beyond the control of local authorities have prevented this. I think it is very noble of you not to be lamenting this delay, but rather to be taking a “Forward Look” to the time when the new building will become a reality for future classes. You who are being graduated from the Dallas- town Area High School represent about sixty per cent of the residents of our area who are being graduated from high schools this season. No room in our build- ings could be found for the others. May we count on you, your parents, and friends for continued loyalty- while we work toward the completion of the new high school building. And as graduates, may you con- tinue to develop your personalities so that sometime, somewhere, someone may say of you, “When I met him I was looking down; when I left him I was looking I)r.

Dr. 9 Administration As you look forward into the complex pattern of modern life, you, undoubtedly, are confronted with the disturbing question, Does life have a place for me? Looking into your past, you realize there always has been a place for you. First it was the tiny crib and high chair; later a regular place in a regular chair like others. At first you were lost in that big adult chair, but year by year you have been filling more and more of it. Each year you have been filling a larger place in your family, in your school, in your church, and in your community. This process of maturing means that people expect more of you now than ever before. You are expected to fill a much larger and more im- portant place in the ever-growing complexity of the material world. The forward look of those who remain at Dallas- town Area High School and of those who have guided you here will be one of concern as to how well you fit into this pattern of life. Will your position be one of glory and success or one of infamy and failure? RALPH N. McSIIERRY Three words—eleven letters—can often measure the difference between a successful, happy individual and a non-successful person. Through your years of school you have heard much about effort, initiative, and am- bition as they are related to grades. Bear this in mind, however, the school of life has its grade card. Your success in life is our happiness; your failure is our disappointment. To assure this success for you, I would encourage you to adopt these three words, And Then Some.” Tackle the task set before you; complete it conscientiously; then do a little more. In the history of man, there has never been a time when the top of the ladder of success was crowded. Climb above the average “and then some.” I would pass on to you the challenge given to me a number of years ago by an old college professor. This was his advice: “So live that when you die your place in society will be difficult to fill. CLAIR A. TROUT Assistant Principal Faculty I'rcd N. Bingaman. B. A.

Nedra Hoffman, and Doris Arnold confer on a class project. In 1952 we, the class of 1956, entered our first year of high school as freshmen. Chosen as our class leaders were Charles Hess, president; Christine Rojahn, vice p reside n t; Barbara Krouse, secretary; and Barbara Shoff, treasurer. Our class adviser was Mrs. Jean Schenck. In the fall of 1952 we enjoyed a hayride and hot dog roast at the Safe Harbor Park. We ended our freshman year with a trip to Hershey Park. In 1953 we returned to Dallastown Area High as sophomores. Mr. Landis was class ad- viser and our class officers were Nedra Hoffman, president; Perry Strayer, vice president; Joan Zech, secretary; and Doris Arnold, treasurer. At the close of our sophomore year we again en- joyed a day at Hershey Park. We proudly claimed the rank of juniors in 1954. Our class officers were Nedra Hoffman, president; Perry Strayer, vice president; Joyce Grim, secretary; and Robert Dehoff, treasurer. Our play, “Father Was a Housewife,” was a financial and dramatic success under the direc- tion of Mrs. Elaine Brown. “Moonlight and Roses” was the theme of our Junior-Senior Prom. At the close of our junior year we enjoyed an educational tour of our nation’s capital with our adviser, Mrs. Schenck, chaperoning. Our position as seniors was finally attained in 1955. Mr. I. W. Winemiller was our class ad- viser and our officers were Gary Keeny, presi- dent; Nedra Hoffman, vice president; Doris Arnold, secretary; and Charles Hess, treasurer. Our senior play, “Ghost Tails,” was directed by Mrs. Dorothy Richardson. Commencement was held on June 6, 1956. with Seymour B. Dunn, dean of Gettysburg College, speaking. Bacca- laurate services were held in Christ Lutheran Church where the Reverend John Martin deliv- ered the baccalaurate message. Class Day was held on June 5, 1956. Our senior year was high- lighted with a trip to New York City. Gary Keeny consults Mr. Winemiller on class financial matters. Anita Waltemeyer points out inter- es t i n g Washington, D.C., to Shirley Ferree and Pauline Baer. Senior Snaps One soda for two is shared by Doris Arnold and June Hartman.

S. Riedel Class Poem “Old Father Time” has brought us to the parting of the way, And we approach the ending of our happy high school days. Our teachers we will ere respect and honor for their aid, We’ll cherish long the memories and the friendships we have made. The inspiration that was given will set our standards high, We’ll remember well the high ideals we learned, and always try, Whatever task confronts us, the utmost we’ll invest, When good, to strive for better; when better, for the best. To teachers now and classmates, we bid a fond adieu. Whatever road you travel “Good Luck” and “God Speed You.” What triumphs or rewards we win, due praise we must affix To what we learned in high school in the class of fifty-six. Barbara Shoff Class Colors ..................... Black and White Class Flower ............................ Red Rose Class Motto “Knowledge is power.”—Francis Bacon Class Song A fond adieu to high school days, teachers and classmates too, The future years will ne’er erase our memories of you. As we go forth to meet life’s tests, We’ll keep our standards high, And to the fine ideals you taught, to be true we’ll always try. What e’er it be, we’ll do it well and leave to God the rest. And if success should smile, and crown our lives some far off time, We’ll think of those who strive below and stoop to help them climb. Whatever task awaits us, we shall strive to do our best. 45 Words and music by Barbara Shoff I o cr o 00 - UJ _! -I CLASS 18' C HALK ROOM BOARD SENIORS — DALLASTOWN Room 22 Mrs. Schenck Row I — Nedra Hoffman, Gary Keeny, Romaine Smith, Doris Arnold, Robert Dchoff, Charles Hess, Patricia Leader.

Throughout the year the homeroom family becomes a close knit group, studying side by side and enjoying the fellowship of school ac- tivities. Perhaps the one activity which fosters a spirit of cooperation more than any other is the decorating of homerooms at the Christmas season. Working hand in hand the students of each homeroom strive for the honor of being the best decorated room and the recipient of an ice cream party. Below, to the left. June Hartman and Nedra Hoffman add the finishing touches of ribbons and bells to the door of room 22.

Beacon Editorial Carolyn Raab. Gary Keeny, and Nancy Gray inspect the finished product. Dallastown students were kept up-to-date on the latest happenings by the eager and energetic Beacon staff. Every week the staff met and the various depart- ments worked on assignments; writing articles, proof reading, pasting the dummy, and finally sending it to York to be printed. There were deadlines that had to be met and all the articles had to be written before a certain day. Endless work was required and spent on each article, but in the end the results of the Beacon made it all worth-while. Our twenty page paper gave the latest news of the activities of Dallastown Area High. The staff was very glad to receive second place awards from the Pennsylvania Scholastic Press and the National Scholastic Press. The Editorial Staff was composed of the follow- ing people; Gary Keeny, editor-in-chief; Nancy Gray, news editor; Carolyn Raab, feature editor; Christine Rojahn, sports editor; Shelva Falls, photographer; Alda Henry, art editor; reporters, Nedra Hoffman, Dixie Markey, Romaine Smith, Anita Waltemeyer, William Robinson, Glenn Brenneman, Gloria Ilengst, Shelby Douglas, Paul Eberly, Iva Romesburg, JoAnne Reachard, Bonnie Jean Fix, Dean Flinchbaugh, Louise Kreeger, and Rosalyn Wright. GO The Beacon Business Staff members started their work very early this year. The advertising manager and assistants canvassed the area soliciting for adver- tisements and subscriptions. As a result there were sixty-four ads published in the Beacon. The staff was under the direction of the adviser, Mr. Charles Landis, and the business manager, Laura Klinedinst. After the articles were checked by the editor-in-chief and the literary adviser, the typists began their work. They mercilessly banged the typewriter keys and turned out the finished typewritten articles. When each issue was published, the circulation staff began distributing the four hundred and twenty-five papers to the stu- dents, alumni, and the other patrons and readers. The staff was kept very busy, but seeing the results in print made it all worth-while. The Beacon Business Staff was composed of the following people: Laura Kline- dinst, business manager; Larry Neuhaus, advertising manager; with assistants Joan Zech and Kent Sprenkle; Donna Mitzel, circulation manager; assistants, Hazel Martin and Kay Ann Strayer; typists, Jean Zech, Barbara Krouse, Marlene Fahs, Charles Snvder, and Shirley Miller.

Student Council Mr. Hays discusses a student council problem with Barbara Krouse. The active Student Council of Dallastown Area High School is composed of representatives from each class and homeroom and is capably directed this year by President Barbara Krouse and Adviser Robert Hays. The senior class has four representatives to the council, the junior class has three; sophomores have three; freshmen three; eighth grade two; and seventh grade three. In addition to the president, other officers elected are Charles Hess, vice-president; Richard Keeports, secretary; and Mary Frey, treasurer. This year was a busy one for Student Council. The annual Halloween Dance was again a council project, as well as the Spring Dance and the Friday- night “Sock Hops” following basketball games. The Christmas decorations in homerooms were regulated by Student Council and the judging for awards was supervised by the council. A new project this year was the preparation of a student handbook. Throughout the year general in- formation concerning the schools, songs and cheers, graduation requirements, organizations, activities, and other information that would help to orientate a new student was compiled. This handbook will be available to students at the opening of the next school term. 68 Surrounded by hundreds of books and magazines, the members of the Library Club, under the super- vision of Miss Mary Perry, help to file cards, charge and discharge books and magazines, and sign library passes. Dates, stamps, pencils, library cards, books— patience, these are the tools of the skillful staff mem- bers of the Library Club. At the beginning of every school year the Library Club assists Miss Perry in preparing the library for the new year. Books arc mended, shelves are dusted, and newly purchased books placed in the proper sections. This year new editions of encyclopedias, Masterplots, and Current Biographies were added to the reference section of the library. Crowded conditions make it necessary that the library be used as a classroom twenty-four periods each week. Whenever a teacher wishes to take an entire class to the library. Miss Perry and the teacher exchange rooms. During study halls and activity periods club members are their busiest, for this is the time the library has its heaviest traffic. Approximately sixtv- five books pass through the hands of this efficient staff daily. Miriam Grove and Wilma McCleary keep library records in order.

The Future Homemakers of America club mem- bers are girls from the sophomore, junior, and senior classes who are interested in the art of fine home- making. Mrs. Alice Frits, their adviser, teaches them many time saving ideas. Virginia Innerst is president of the organization; Barbara Williams, vice-president; Sandra Markey, secretary; Margaret Daugherty, treas- urer; and Sybil Snyder, reporter. This organization is based on the following goals for which the members strive: preparation for better homes and more democratic ideals in all phases of life, contributions to the status of homemaking edu- cation, and a keener understanding of families and people around the world. In addition to the regular meetings the club en- gages in other activities. The girls arc quite popular for maintaining the refreshment stand at basketball games. They also attend the Future Homemakers of America Workshops. 70 School nurses working on the theory that a good student is a healthy student, maintain a constant watch over the well-being of Dallastown Area High School students. Both Mrs. Boeckel and Mrs. Grim arrange for and assist the doctor with medical exami- nations and consults with parents and teacher con- cerning their findings of these examinations. Correc- tion of remedial defects are encouraged and often ar- ranged. In addition the school nurses also provide emergency care for students who become sick or are injured at school. Throughout the school year two major medical examinations are given by school doctors. One of these is the general medical examination given to all seventh and eleventh grade students. Dr. Wallace Hopkins, Dr. Logan Fisher and Dr. John Smith are the three medical doctors who conduct these examinations at the various secondary centers. The second examina- tion given to the same two grades is a dental exami- nation. The dentists participating in this program are Dr. John Kojahn, Dr. William Blymire, and Dr. Donald Clingan. Two optional examinations are also available. These are the chest X-rays given to seniors and the tuberculin skin test offered to all freshmen. School Health Program I)r. John Hojalm examines the teeth of Sidney Zorbaugh to learn if dental treat- ment is required. Carrying out the health program in the junior-senior high school are Mrs. Carolyn Boeckel, who serves as nurse to the Dallastown building, and Mrs. Janet Grim, who is the nurse for other secondary centers. 71 Row 1—Dorothy Cox, Beverly Krousc, Marlene Miller, Miriam Grove.

Band membership was open to any junior or senior high school student having the ability to play a band instrument. The thirty-four piece band was made up of nine trumpets and cornets, five trombones, three saxophones, one flute, six clarinets, two bell lira, two horns and six percussion. Throughout the school year the band participated in two types of band activities. Whenever the weather permitted, the band performed at the home football games. Dressed in blue and white, the school colors, it was a great morale booster to the team, the cheerleaders, and the fans alike. In addition to serving as a marching band Row 1—Sandra Gross.

In its capacity as a concert band, the band presented its annual concert at the “Night of Music” and also played at several school assemblies. From the concert band seven members were chosen to take part in the York County Music Festival, which was presented in the Central High School Auditorium in York, Pennsylvania, on March 3, 1956. Practice sessions for both concert and marching activities were held on Thursday and Fri- day mornings during activity periods in Memorial Gymnasium. The officers for the 1955-1956 school year were chosen as follows: president, Eugene Smith; vice president, Barbara ShofF; secretary-treasurer, Karen Leader; and librarians, Lynns S t r a y e r, David Howett, Gary Geesey, Randall Strayer, and Ronald Smelt .er.

Choral Organizations The Dallastown Area High School’s depart- ment of music is quite complex and requires a great deal of coordination and work on the part of Mr. Joseph Campanella, supervisor of music. In the choral department alone there are three choruses: the junior chorus, made up of seventy- six seventh and eighth grade students; the ninth ;rrade chorus, composed of forty-two freshmen; and the senior chorus, consisting of seventv-six senior high school students. Each chorus has one practice period a week. The repertoire of the choruses consisted mainly of religious, novelty, and folk songs and was presented by each at the annual “Night of Music. In addition, the choruses also partici- pated in the music assembly in April. Another important phase in the activities of the choral organizations was the participation of a chosen, select group in the York County Music Festival. Seventeen members of the ninth grade chorus and the junior chorus joined with the one hundred five voice junior high school chorus, which represented the majority of the county schools. Eleven senior chorus members sang in the one hundred voice senior chorus at the festival. Serving as presidents of the choruses for the 1955-56 school year were Barbara ShofF, senior chorus; Darla Mitzel, ninth grade chorus; and Beverly Krouse, junior chorus. Accompanists for the three choruses were Barbara Slioff, Barbara Miller, and Brenda Ahrens. In addition to the choral work done by the music department, there are several individuals whose music records added prestige to the music department. These individuals competed in and earned high ratings in the York County Foren- sics Contest. One contestant, Bonnie lean Fix, received a “superior rating for her proficiency in both piano and mezzo-soprano solo work. Betsy Beider also received a “superior” rating as con- tralto soloist. The highest rating given in the county for trombone soloist was an “excellent” rating, earned by Dean Flinchbaugh. 74 NINTH GRADE CHORUS How 1—Barbara Miller, Darla Mitzel, Rosalyn Ness, Martha Kohler, Ina Warner.

In order to find a name for this newly formed dance band, a contest was held. After much deliberation the judges chose the name The J. C. Wildcats, which was suggested by Helen Strayer. The shells for the dance band were made in the Industrial Arts Department under the supervision of Mr. Givler. Four senior boys, Lynn Marshall, Laverne Raffensberger, Eugene Sindlinger, and Robert J un- kins, did the bulk of the work, although a few of the junior high school boys helped to paint the shells. The J. C. Wildcats” made their first public ap- pearance on February 24, 1956, after the Kennard Dale—Dallastown basketball game, when they played a few selections for the sock-hop. Since practice makes perfect, The J. C. Wildcats” have started on the long, hard climb to perfection. Practice for them began a few weeks before the be- ginning of the 1955-56 school year, and every Wednes- day morning in activity period their practice session is in full swing in the high school auditorium.

Junior - Senior Prom Couples of the junior and senior classes en- joyed a beautiful evening on May 20, 1955, dancing to the theme, Moonlight and Hoses,” at the annual Junior-Senior Prom in the Memorial Gymnasium. Beautifully enhanced by a crystal ball, the gym was decorated with artificial roses climbing over the white trellises, white lawn furniture sitting on a grass carpet, palms and flowers providing the setting for the royal court, and a bird bath filled with roses. Music was furnished by Dick Moul and his orchestra.

Senior Play “Ghost Tails,” a three-act farce, combined with the weather to give patrons a chill on the evenings of November 18 and 19. The plot re- volved around a ghost whose presence seemed to terrify both the cast and the audience. Shrieks were heard coming from both sides of the footlights. Deanic watches Polly playfully roll Marty from the couch. The effective lighting provided a spooky atmosphere for the low, wierd laugh of the ghost. To add to tlie entertainment there were many sparkling lines sprinkled throughout the play. All the characters gave convincing performances, especially the ghost with her eerie red glow. Mrs. Dorothy B. Richardson directed the cast of nine. Mr. Lambert threatens to kill Linda, Sue, Deanic and Polly. 84 Mr. and Mrs. Peters and Linda attentively listen to Polly’s telephone conversation. Stage assistants Anita Waltemeyer, Donna Mitzel, Doris Arnold. Kay Miller, George Roth, and Robert Junkins pose. The roles of Poll) and Marty Peters were delightfully portrayed by Barbara Shoff and Robert Williams. Christine Rojahn, as Polly's best and most trusted friend Deanie, helped to unravel the mystery. Polly’s bewildered parents, Mr. and Mrs. Peters, were played by Charles Hess, and Barbara Kronse. Alda Henry, as Sue, a very superstitious colored maid, added much color to the plot. To find the real Linda was a riddle not easily solved, for there were two— Sharon Orwig and Charlotte Blum. The villian's role was taken by Edward Keener, who helped weave the complications.

The Wildcat relay team also placed fifth out of twenty-two teams at the Sheppard Relays at Hanover. Dalen Grove placed second in the mile at Shippensburg Invitational Meet and third at the District III Meet at Lancaster. To top most of his running honors Grove defeated Fred Kerr of West York in the half mile run at Columbia. Dalen’s time was two minutes and seven seconds. It was the only defeat administered to Kerr in the 1955 season. Paul Eberly, a sophomore, threw the discus 120 feet 2 inches to become York County Scho- lastic Champion. Paul is looking forward to breaking the county discus record of 129 feet 5 inches set in 1952 by Paul DehofF, also of Dallastown. 100 Row 1—Dalen Grove, Barry Gohn, Ronny Marshall, Paul Kyle, William March.

Senior High Track Mr. Leber, coach of the Dallastown track team, held intra-squad track meets to condition his teams for county competition. On March 24, the Blue and White teams started their intramural meets. The Blue team included sophomore and junior boys and the White team included the freshmen and seniors. The Blue team took first place in eight of the ten track and field events. They defeated the White 61-25. Barry Gohn won both the 100 yard and 220 yard dashes.

Donald Kohlers excellent running and twenty- one points given to them by the Junior High girls helped the Dallastown Junior High team to win the York County Track Meet for the first time in its his- tory. Kohler won the seventy-five and the two-twenty yard dashes with the winning times of 08.4 seconds and 24.8 seconds respectively. Bruce Host was in a triple deadlock for high jump honors with Kennard- Dale and Mt. Rose. William Reno was tied for fourth in the high jump with West York. The 440 and 880 yard relay team placed second. Donald Kohler added more points onto the D-town score by placing second in the broad jump, missing first place by only three- fourths of an inch. Ralph Kyle placed fourth in the broad jump. The Dallastown Junior High participated in a few track meets prior to the York County Meet. They also took part in many intra-squad meets which helped them to prepare themselves for the York County Meet. Mr. Leber and Mr. Kehm coached the team. 102 Early in April many girls representing the Dallas- town Senior High Girls’ Track Team were outdoors conditioning for the York County Track Meet. Prac- tices were held in the afternoons after school. Miss Peters, coach and physical education teacher, held intra-squad and inter-scholastic meets to help the girls prepare for the big competition. For the fifty yard dash a senior, Donna Fake, and a junior, Nedra Hoff- man, were chosen. Members of the fifty yard relay team were Christine Rojahn, Nedra Hoffman, Shelva Calp, and Donna Fake. Christine Rojahn and Joan Zech were selected to throw the baseball, while Carolyn Raab and Joan Zech were chosen for the basketball throw. Business managers were Barbara Shoff and Jean Zech. The senior high girls did not win the county meet, but they placed in three of the four events. The relay team placed third, Donna Fake placed fourth in the fifty yard dash, and Carolyn Raab placed fourth in the basketball throw. Alternates, who also went to the meet, were Barbara Krouse, Joyce Heindel, Kaye Ann Strayer, and Margretta Raver.

On May 6, 1955, the Dallastown track teams traveled to York for the County Meet. The junior high girls scored twenty-one points to capture their division championship. These points helped the junior high boys to win their division championship also. It was the first time in many years that the Dallastown Junior High won the meet. Miss Peters, girls’ coach, chose the following team: fifty yard relay team, Ruth Ann DehofF. Beverly Krouse, Marlene Miller, and Brenda Barley; baseball throw, Marlene Miller and Ruth Ann DeHoff; basket- ball throw, Norma Zarfoss and Ruth Ann DehofF. Results were very good at the meet; For the fifty yard relay team came in second, and Marlene Miller placed second in the fifty yard dash and Brenda Barley fifth. Marlene Miller was also successful in throwing the baseball. She placed first, while Ruth Ann DehofF captured fourth place. To clinch the twenty-one points Norma Zarfoss captured first place in the basketball throw. 104 Throughout the excitement of the football and varsity basketball games can be heard the Fight, team, fight cry led by the varsity cheer- leading squad. Work for this squad begins in the spring at the annual tryouts. After the squad is selected, practices begin and continue through- out the summer. Fall finds them ready for the football season and ensuing basketball games. Another important duty which falls to this squad is the organization of pep rallies prior to im- portant home football and basketball games. Behind the scenes the varsity squad con- ducts practices and trains the junior varsity squad. New techniques and cheers are also stud- ied and originated in an effort to keep the school cheers lively and fresh. One of the most interest- ing experiences shared by this squad was at- tending a cheerleading clinic held in Shippens- burg, Pennsylvania, to study new cheering tech- niques and to share experiences with other squads in attendance from a three state area. The clinic was under the direction of Mr. Lawrence R. Herkimer, executive secretary of the National Cheerleaders Association. Kaye Ann Strayer, Nancy Gray, Marlene Miller, and Gloria Hengst learn new techniques from Lawrence Herkimer at cheerleading clinic. Varsity Cheerleaders Head cheerleader Barbara Krouse leads Nancy Gray, Gloria Hengst, Joyce Heindel and Kaye Ann Strayer on the varsity cheerleading squad. 105 Faye Krout. Donna Ness, Karen Leader, Bonnie McGready, Marlene Miller. Junior Varsity Cheerleaders Varsity and junior varsity squads tx-rform a formation cheer between basketball games. Leading the cheers during the junior varsity- basketball games is the junior varsity cheerleading squad. Squad leader is Karen Leader; other members are Marlene Miller, Bonnie McGready, Faye Krout, and Donna Ness. Members of the squad are chosen at spring try- outs and are trained by the varsity cheering squad. Practice sessions are held in the fall prior to the basketball season and continue throughout the season. In addition to their cheering duties, the junior varsity cheerleaders assist the varsity squad at pep rallies and train the junior high squad. During the basketball season the junior varsity squad accompanied the varsity squad to the Cheer- leading Clinic held at York High School, where the York High cheerleaders served as hosts to cheerleaders from many county schools. All phases of cheerleading were discussed in an effort to improve cheerleading techniques. Progress of this sort is important to the junior varsity cheerleaders, for these cheerleaders are the most likely candidates for the varsity cheerleaders of tomorrow Instructions for this squad are directed by Mrs. Jean Schenck, cheerleading coach. 106 Perhaps one of the most enthusiastic responses to a call for participants for a school activity is made by the junior high school girls when the tryouts begin for junior high cheerleaders. This past fall approximately fifty girls responded to Mrs. Jean Schenck’s request for candidates for the coveted positions on the junior high cheerleading squad. Showing the most promise and ability, and chosen to the squad were Rosalyn Ness, who was appointed squad leader, Darlene Stump, Jo Shearer, Audrey Hoke, and Mary Jane Blymire. The junior high squad cheers at all home junior high basketball games and accompanies the team to those away games which are played at night rather than in the afternoon. Although the youngest squad in both years and experience, the junior high cheer- leading squad experiences the most difficult cheering situation. Its job is made difficult by the much smaller student attendence at junior high games due to the fact that many students who ride buses to school are unable to attend the four o’clock games.
