Several pupils decorated the tree while the rest of the school watched them. Devotions were read by John Waughtel. A trumpet duet was rendered by Stanley Gross and Glenn Reeling.

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.
