JUNIOR HISTORY CHAPTER I As we open the very first chapter of our existence at Dover High, we are ready to undertake four long years of hard study. School opened in September with fifty-six of the greenest greeners that ever entered the portals of Dover High. At our Iirst class meeting, after becoming at least slightly acquainted with the pupils and teachers, we elected the following class officers: Advisor, Miss Dorothy Kaylerg president, Owen Baileyg vice-president, Dale Leckrone, secre- tary, Janice Border: treasurer, Janet Baughman, historian, Jean Harlacker. Navy and Gold were chosen as the class colors. The flower chosen was the red rose. Like all other Freshmen we couldn't get by without initiation. The Seniors had a grand time, and we took it with a smile. The big events of our Freshman year were a skating party and a hike on the last day. And so, in May, our first year at Dover High ended with thirty- eight pupils enrolled. Those who left us during the term were: William Becker, Jacqueline Butcher, Samuel Deardorff, Donald Dubbs, Laura Dubbs, June Fix, Ray Henry, Christina King, Ivan Lehr, Pauline Lentz, Paul Linebaugh, Clair Goodwin, Richard Oberlander, Rosemae Nagle, Owen Shoemaker, Curvin Snellbaker, Marjorie Spoonhower, Edna Wintermyer. CHAPTER II After three short, short months of vacation, we returned to Dover High, prepared for another year of study and fun, The officers for our Sophomore year were: President, Kenneth Small: vice president, Dale Leckroneg secretary, Glenda Dennis: treasurer, Jean Harlacker: historian, Berdella May. Since Miss Kayler did not return, we chose as our new class advisor, Mr. Lester Gross. The events held in our second year were two skating parties and hike on the last day of school. The class also sponsored a Hallowe'en party for the school, in the auditorium. After nine months, when we became bored with education, we were again off for vacation. On May 21, we left the doors of Dover High as a class of thirty pupils. During the year the following pupils left our happy circle: Owen Bailey, Ralph Crone, Ray Dentler, Roy Ferry, Berdella May, Carl Miller, Kenneth Stauffer, Joyce Wiley, CHAPTER III The third chapter of our book is opened with thirty-one pupils returning, ready for another year of learning. The class officers were selected: President, Kenneth Small: vice-president, Janice Border: secretary, Janet Baughman, treasurer, Glenda Dennis, historian, Ruth Laird. Of course, Mr. Gross retained the position of class advisor. The big events of this year were the class play, a Halloween party, and the publication of the yearbook. We were also very proud to select our class rings. Due to the war, no skating parties were held. School opened August 28 and closed May 23. The 1945 Memoscope 19

SOPHOMORE HISTORY On August thirtieth, nineteen forty-three, the Freshman Class began their high school career at Dover Borough and Township Joint High School with sixty-five members. The iirst class meeting was held September twenty-fourth to elect the advisor and oflicers for the first year, Those elected were as follows: Advisor, Mr. Richard Walters, president, Richard Paulesg vice-president, Luella Leiben- knechtg secretary, Ruby Yankeyg treasurer, Jacqueline Kunkle, and historian, Marjorie Hershey. The gardenia was chosen as the class flower and light blue and white were chosen as the class colors. Everyone in the Freshman Class was very happy on November ninth, nine- teen forty-three when they held their first skating party at the White Rose arena. Of course, nobody will forget the day when the boys had to wear ladies' hats and the girls wore long black stockings and neckties as their initiation penalty. During the year, the class was happy to welcome into the class, two new members-Phadalis Pavlik and Mary Lou Webb. During the year, the class was unfortunate in losing fourteen members. They are the following: Pauline Bortner, Dorothy Burger, Jack Crone, Dorothy Harlacker, Jacob Holtzapple, Adele Kauffman, William Kauffman, Marie Newcomer, Phyllis Rentzel, Louise Sheffer, Floyd Shoemaker, Senford Smith, Leroy Spahr, and Janet Wintermyer. This left us with a total membership of fifty-three. After a three-month vacation, the group returned to Dover High as Sopho- mores. They were sorry to have William Neff and Romaine Deardorff leave our class. Charlene Sweitzer resumed her studies at York and Phadalis Pavlik moved back to Michigan, where she is continuing her high school work. The officers chosen for the Sophomore year are as follows: President, Rich- ard Paules: vice-president, Kenneth Altland: secretary, Ruby Yankey: treasurer, Jacqueline Kunkle, and historian, Marjorie Hershey. Of course, Mr. Walters retained his position of class advisor. As Sophomores, it was their turn to have the Hallowe'en party. This turned out to be a big success. The school was given a surprise by the showing of a movie. There were many more surprises, as crawling through a tunnel of corn shocks to get into the auditorium. This was, also, the way partners were secured. During the year the class lost Dale Brenner, Raymond Wintermyer, and Charles Dunavin. Also, Geraldine Edleblute, who moved to York. Sen- ford Smith returned to Dover High. This brought the number in the class to forty-six. On February twenty-third the class, accompanied by Miss McDowell and Mr. Leib, took a trip to York, where they visited the Martin Memorial Library, the York County Historical Society and the York Dispatch oflice and plant.
