. express memoriam. Mr. LLOYD W. BEHRENSEN 41 West Howard Street Dallastown, Pennsylvania In memory of Mr. Lloyd Behrensen who passed away March 21 os the result of head injuries suffered during the collapse of the Dallasfown Memorial Auditorium. Mr. Behrensen, who was a member of Christ Lutheran Church of Spry, served as custodian for the building. He had been employed by Ammon Lentz before coming to Dallastown Area High School. He was a volunteer of the Dallastown Rescue Fire Com- pany and was also a participant in the marching unit of the same organization. The collapse of the gymnasium was caused by the extreme weight of snow which had been deposited on the roof by a late winter storm. The weight proved to be too much for the building to withstand and, as a result, the dome-shaped ceiling plunged inward. The force of this collapse pushed the south and west walls outward. Mr. Behrensen, who had rushed outside the building when he heard a creaking noise, was covered with bricks and cinder blocks. Rescuers to the scene aided in ex- tricating Behrensen. He was then removed to the York Hospital where he died the following morning. Damages to the food and kitchen appliances in the basement cafeteria were found to be very slight. Also, little of the athletic equipment was harmed. The first floor of the building which had been the scene of many exciting basketball games and lovely dances was permanently scarred because of the penetration of snow and brick. A few months after the tragedy, ground crews worked feverishly in an attempt to remove most of the debris from the surrounding area. Nevertheless, the structure which had been the home of many exciting basketball games, the scene of hilarious junior and senior plays and the domicile of many happy teen-agers scurrying to their noon-time meal was now a scene of unforgettable memories heaped upon a useless mass of stone and mortar. Mr. Behrensen's death was deeply felt among students and faculty alike. His jovial and friendly manner will always be remembered as a symbol of his lasting memory. The Bend in the Road Have you ever walked along a road And looked ahead of you To where the path turned suddenly And was lost awhile to view? Think of your loved one living still Where the road goes on without end It is only we who cannot see The path beyond the bend. 9
