When, as Freshmen, we couldn't find the proper rooms you were always there helping. Then as Sophomores, we were a little headstrong and had trouble with our Hallowe'en party, you were in back pushing. When we came back as Juniors, and had the yearbook to put out, we knew we wouldn't have any trouble with you on our side. So, as our small thanks, we dedicate this yearbook to you, Mr. Harry Little. 'foftewozb Mr, Lester Gross, we, the juniors of Dover Joint High School, who have participated in this year's cyclopedia of events, wish to express our deep apprecia- tion to you for your help and guidance in publishing this yearbook, The Memo- scope. Humbly, we concede that all that glitters is not gold. Mentally, to begin, our minds were overflowing with good-will and best wishes towards the on-coming Memospope, but then, many times we became disillusioned, only to find you standing by with urge and push. We, together, planned and plotted our yearbook and rallied forth with zest, but in the long stretch you, Mr. Gross, gave us courage, a helping hand, infor- mation, and kind consideration. Words will not express our feelings, but in this short foreword, we hope you will find and remember our most sincere and genuine meanings. The mingling of your co-operation with our staff made this yearbook a possibility and we extend our greatest thanks.

Before you is the eventful year of 1953-54. carried out by the teachers and pupils of Dover High School. It was an exciting year, so we, the yearbook staff, wish to present it to you in the following pages, all with a meaning. This is the fifteenth year at our High School for the Memoscope to be published and it was with pleasure that we made our theme the past yearbook staffs. The first yearbook at our school was published fifteen years ago by a group of studious pupils who wished to bring their activities lnto contact with the community. Now, fifteen years later, we have kept up the old tradition and strived to better the book to the advantage of all. We, the yearbook staff, volunteered our services. as done the following years. to complete another yearbook. We had background and helping hands in order to be able to present it to you. our community. The yearbook is not new and in the pages to follow we hope that we have quenched the thirst and kept up the old tradition. As mentioned before, our theme is all of Dover High Schools yearbook staffs. We want them to know that we have honored them with the theme because they kept the yearbook bubbling throughout the years at Dover Hi. Our community has grown. our school has grown. and so. within the covers of the Memo- scope, have the pages grown and they will continue to grow. lt is time to read the history of Dover Hi for the present year and we. the staff. hope that witheach a t d'b ' p ge urne it ecomes more enjoyable. Remember, these acknowledgements of actlvltles are for you, our community. With those words, we leave this book in your hands.

Ralph. be- sides getting along with girls, is also a top sports iigure in our class. During his high school years he has played varsity on the basketball team. also played baseball, volleyball, and soccer. He was a member of the 1951 Distict 3 championship soccer team and also a member of the 1952 York, Adams County soccer champs. During his high school days Ralph pursued the com- mercial courses. After school when he reaches the re- quired age he plans to go to the school for State Police- men, According to the judgment of our class, Ralph is a good friend of everyone. Who is that hot soccer star that just scored another point? Why it's none other than Wayne Crone. Wayne. better known as Clem. is one of the school's finest athletes. Clem participates in most sports and when he is not practicing he can be found working in his father's store or riding around in his red Pontiac. Clem also likes to swim and roller skate. Some of Clem's time goes to girls, for he is not exactly what you would call a woman hater, and his curly hair attracts many of them. In school his jokes and fine personality bring him many friends. After school Clem intends to be a merchant. 26 Wayne Laverne What's a matter? Soccer 3-4, Junior Play 3, Chorus 4. Volleyball 2-3- 4, Ping-Pong 3. Here is a young man who is always on the go. usually in a Buick convertible or a white ghost truck. He is ac- tive in school plays and other social activities such as females-. For his future occupation I'm sure he would like to sell Roto-Hoe garden tractors, By now you probably have guessed that this buddy of mine is Stanley Baldwin, known to his classmates as Dean or the convertible kid. He is very active in school and is likewise popular outside of school. Stanley is a mem- ber of the Civil Air Patrol and also a member of the soccer team this season. We are very proud to have Miss Wrinkle Fender of l953 attending our school, Dover High. In case everyone hasn't been introduced to her. she is Miss Julene Bentz, who is tall, well-proportioned. with brown hair, brown eyes, and a black Pontiac. Besides being interested in sports and school, she al- ways keeps herself up-to-date on the Alumni of the class of '52. Julene has a very unusual hobby. lt is star gazing. You can see her indulging in this practically every night after work. She is also under the impression that the moon is made of green Buicksf' pardon me, green cheese.

He likes to go out at noon and Buzz his Hot Ford up and down the streets of Dover, and admire the girls. Dick is also good in his classes, and in study halls he likes to talk about his Ford, He thinks it is the best 46 Ford running today. Dick has a part-time job at the Food Fair, that is where hc gets his money to sport his Ford up and down the streets of Dover. Whos this walking up? Well it's the most handsome blond in school. He takes quite a ribbing about his natural curly hair. but as usual he takes this in his stride. Our friend is a good sport. He is an honor student with a terrific personality. Through this he be- came president of the student council. This was quite an honor for this young chap. Along with this he has been the president of our class for four years. He is well liked by everyone including the opposite sex. Of course by now you know this is Donald Ecken- rodc. Don, as he is called, is the most popular fellow in the class and is always ready to lend a helping hand.

When you'rc with her you can count on not having a dull time. She is active in such as sports and dramatics, and it's hard to keep up with her. Gayle is an unpredictable girl, one minute she is very feminine and the next4well just watch her some time on a basketball floor. and you'll see why Gayle was voted the outstanding girl athlete in our class. Besides being popular with the girls, Gayle also is no stranger to the opposite sex. Her ambition after school is to be a physical education teacher, but we know whatever Gayle undertakes will turn out successfully. Xvho is the boy that cracks so many jokes. and is always getting in trouble with teachers? Vv'hy of course it's Ray Gross. the shortest boy in the class. Ray al- ways has to hitch-hike wherever he goes because he does not have license so if you see him along the road. please pick him up. Ray is better known as Shorty. His hobby is swimming, fishing, and hunting. You often see Shorty sleeping in most of his classes and study period so I guess he must stay out too late. Ray also takes typing which he likes very much. He is very smart in all his classes. 27 UAV, 3. Ray Ervin Holtzapple ..-I-Hp.. Position Here we go again Soccer 4. Baseball 3, Class Play 3.

If you don'r know who I mean, just call out Richard Jacobs loud aml clear and watch him turn around. Richard is very active in the l7.l7.A. After school you will find him working on his father's farm. If he is not there he is out driving his father's liord with some good looking girl resting on his shoulder, He is not very active in sports. but he likes to skate and go on hay rides. I'd like to tell you about his friendship with a certain Junior. Dick is a very nice guy and a good friend. Vfho is about the most quiet boy in room Eve? The name is David Lentz. David belongs to the Dover li.ff.A. Chapter. He is a boy that most everyone likes. At lunch time you will see David riding around in a brown '35 Olds with his friends. David Lentz has a certain weakness, just mention a girl by the name of Sarah. David has been with the class of '54 ever since 8th grade. At the present time he is employed at the Food Fair on West Market street. 28 Alfred Kelly Heagy Basketball 3-4, Chorus 4, Class Play 3-4, Operetta David Henry Lenlz l-.l-.A. 2-3-4, Why, who is that playing hookie from school?

You can always find him at Yost Service Station trying to make an honest living. Most of the time he is driving his DeSoto. Al is an all-around guy in sports, and likes to tease the girls very much. He keeps the class alive. Who's the boy in the Senior Class who we always sec pushing his car. Perhaps you have guessed him, for he is Ray Holtzapple. Vvle think he needs a new motor for it, He is a very nice guy who does not care for the girls fat least he says sol. He is active in sports and played on the soccer team this year, and was manager for the baseball team in his sophomore year. His hobbies are hunting and scouting. He is also a member of the mixed chorus of our school. In the evenings after school he works at a service station. Richard Benard Jacobs Dick Farmer Holy Cow Z-3-4. Rube Position Holy Smokes .

She is also a librarian and can be found in the library busily cata- loguing library books. Typing and studying bookkeep- ing takes up a lot of her school time. You have prob- ably guessed, this senior is none other than Carolyn March. Carolyn plans to be a secretary so follow the right example and don't sit on the boss's lap. How does Carolyn spend her leisure time? We heard she writes letters to a secret someone but who's that someone. Carolyn? kVl1o's that best-dressed girl in the senior class. always helping someone with their bookkeeping? lt's none other than Marian Meisinhelter. Marian is an A student who plans to be a stenographer.

Dodie was voted the most Popular and Best Looking girl in the class and why nttl. VVith her nat- ural curly locks and her pretty blue eyes, how could she miss? She also has a beautiful soprano voice and was one of the chosen few to sing at the State Music Festival. Since her arrival at Dover High she has been active in cheerleading. yearbook work, and is co-editor of our .N'ewsetle. Dodie wants to go to college to be a botanist and put her green thumb to work. but we think she would rather work on blueprints. She's cute. she's also full of fun. Oh, isn't she Tiny? Yes. Tiny is her name and Tiny is her size, but this factor certainly doesn't limit her capacity for friends. Joann is a very enthusiastic member of the cheer- leading squad whose voice can sometimes be heard above all. She'll never let the team down no matter what. Could this be because of a special varsity senior's presence? A representative to the student council. she is always ready with a gracious helping hand and new ideas that atlect each school member. To make a long story short. she's a short number with a long line of interests and we know that Joann and success will walk hand in hand. 29 William Eugene Mong Bill Air Force Prove lt Baseball l-3-4, Chorus 2- 3-4, French Club 3, Bas- ketball 2, Operetta 2-3-4.

You say who? Well, she has dark brown hair a light complexion, and sparkling blue eyes that are usually crinkled up in a smile. She also has a weakness for college boys, especially those from Penn State. Now do you know who she is? 'I'hat's right, it's Louise Moul. Louise, who is usually busy distributing Ncwsetrcs, takes an active part in many other activities. If you hear two girls singing duets you can bet your life XVease is the one singing alto. She also is a cheer- Did anyone hear the little girl coming down the hall giggling for all she can giggle? I shouldn't have to tell you who she is: everyone should know Joyce Miller. If you ever want to have a good time, get Joyce. You are guaranteed to laugh all evening. Of course. you have to give Joyce approximately an hour and a half to write her sailor each evening. This is one of Joyce's daily chores and considered a must with her, It is Joyce's one wish to become a nurse. We know that with the determination in her heart she will suc- ceed. We are sure with her pleasing disposition and her loye for people, she will be another Florence Nightin- ga e. Who is the boy in the Senior Class who is always liirting with the Junior girls? Why, no other than Vv'illiam Mong who never has much to say when he is in school. He sure likes to whistle at the girls, especially at some of those Junior girls. He doesn't have a car so he rides around with his buddies. Bill thinks if he doesn't have a car he won't get in any trouble with the law. Bill is going to wait until he is out of school and will probably buy a new car. Louise Mae Moul Wease Office Work Oh! Gee! Basketball l-2-3-4.

This interest in school activities and in her classmates has made Louise everybody's friend. Who's the girl who always comes to school with her lessons prepared and a smile on her face? She is a girl who is always busy and who knows how to use her leisure time. She has a sweet disposition and a friendly smile for everyone. As an active member of the News- Olte Staff and Chorus. she is always busy. Of course by this time you have probably guessed that she is none other than our Rosylan Naylor, better known to every- one as Rosie. Rosie can usually be found doing typing for Mr. Harrold. We are sure she will be a success in her future years. 30 Rosylan Polf Naylor Rosie Position Ohl My Gosh!

He goes down to the dairy to turn around, and always tries to make the tires squeal. Five-foot-plus of mischief, That's James. Jim is the clown of the class and king of all jokers. Jim likes a good joke and you should hear him laugh. Jim is our Commissioner of all jalopies, and really has a hot rod. In the evening you can find Jim working at a gas station on Princess Street. Maybe that's where he gets his ideas for his hot rod. After he graduates he expects to be a mechanic. Although I'm not around Irene at all times, she is still a good friend of mine and everyone likes her. She does not go steady, but she does go out with fellows. If you would ask her to do something. she would be grateful to do it, if it isn't too much. Irene takes the Vocational course and she belongs to the I3.H.A. Club. which always is doing something ex- citing. She isn't in many activities, but a few. Irene is fairly good in her studies. She always has hcr work done on time, She doesn't miss school except when it is necessary.

Haines isn't as bad as some people think. I think it's more his ways. but everyone likes him. Who's the fellow with Alfred Heagy? Why, it's Dean Rinehart. Dean is very active in Basketball and also females. Everyone likes Dean. more commonly known as Deaner. and he can always be found at Bentz's Res- taurant or with Alfred Heagy. Dean is one of the few boys who is taking Home Economics and he seems to take interest in it in more ways than one. He is also one of the Late ro Bed and Late to Rise fellows and doesnt seem to enjoy school like most fellows.

Who is that cute little blonde in the senior class who is greatly known throughout the whole school for being such a great President of the '5D's F.H,A. Chapter, and who is also active in the mixed Chorus? lt's none other than Ruth Shermeyer. Ruthie has a lot of work to do with the '5Ds but it never seems to keep her from having her other class work finished on time, and having time for loads of fun with her classmates.

Believe it or not, he even Ends time for music, The bang of the bass drum usually comes from him and he plays a real hot piano. He also sings, which accounts for his rating with the girls.

She is also a cheerleader and can be seen at all the soccer and basketball games cheering the boys on to victory. When out of school. Doris can be seen with a gang of other girls always having a sweet smile and good joke to keep the others in stitches. Doris has many interests. some of which are her typing abilities and also the interest in a certain boy. who can be seen in Dover often. Raymond Sowers. although at tirst glance one would find this hard to believe. Raymond is an active member of our basketball team and a great golf enthusiast. Among Raymond's hobbies is, of course. hunting. which we believe ranks first. I-le can always tell a good story about the one that got away. Raymond is a great math studentfin fact, he seems to have mastered it com- pletely. Raymond is presently engaged in the vocational course and one of our better students. After school, Ray- mond may be seen driving his big Chevie around Dover. A great sense of humor and a good sport make Ray- mond a good friend of us all. The senior class has few quiet boys, but Gordon Thompson is one of them. Quiet but nevertheless very popular. Gordie's first love is sports. He plays soccer. baseball and basketball with ehortless ease. Last year he was acclaimed a hero when he kicked the point that won for us the district 3 soccer championship. When catch- ing for the baseball team his less bashful side comes to light because he never hesitates to yell at an umpire. Gordie's second love is a certain very pretty subject in the senior class. With his pleasing personality Gordie is bound to be a success at whatever he does after school. 34- Cordon Charles Soccer ball l 2-3-4 Pong Sowers Ramie Obtain a Position Holy Smokes!

'A- HISTORY OF THE 'CLASS OF 1954 CHAPTER I In September of 1951, we, the class of '54, entered the halls of Dover Hi. At our first class meeting we elected Mr. Paul Hoke as class adviser and the following as class ofhcersz Donald Eckenrode, president: JoAnn Miller, vice-president: Elaine Smith, sec- retary: Dawn Deardorff, treasurer: later Richard Smith was elected to this office, and Yvonne Shaffer as historian. Red and white were chosen as the class colors, the white carnation became our class flower, and our motto is Co-operation Is Our Goal. Some of the activities in which we engaged while freshmen. were a skating party and a Christmas party which was held in the auditorium for the entire school. We ended our first year of school by taking a trip to Hershey. , CHAPTER Il After a few months' vacation we again entered the familiar halls of Dover Hi. We were now sophomores. At our first class meeting we re-elected the same oliicers with the exception of vice-president. Ladora Miller was elected to succeed JoAnn Miller. Mr. Paul Hoke was retained as adviser. The special events which took place during our sophomore year were a skating party, bake sale, Freshman-Sophomore Hop, and a Halloween party which was held in the auditorium for the entire school. CHAPTER III After our short summer vacation we returned to Dover Hi to continue climbing our ladder of success. We are now able to call ourselves Upper-Classmen. At our first class meeting we re-elected the same ofiicers. Mr. Paul Hoke resigned as a teacher in our school and we elected Mr. Richard Walters as our adviser. M This year a student council was organized. The representative from our class was JoAnn iller.. lt was our first year to have the privilege of presenting a play. We selected a three-act comedy, Beauty and the Beef. with JoAnn Miller and Charles Keener in leading roles. As Juniors it was our duty and our pleasure to publish The Memoscope under the super- vision of Mr. Lester Gross. We had the great honor of presenting the twenty-fifth edition of the Memoscope to the public and we dedicated our book to the alumni. Our editor-in-chief was Elaine Smith and her co-editor was Twila Wolf. For activities this year we held two swimming parties during the summer, a skating party. and for entertainment we held a Hallowe'en party at the home of Ralph Crane. Everyone present had a wonderful time. This ended our junior year and we were now ready to put our foot on the last step of our ladder. CHAPTER IV With our heads held high, we entered the halls of Dover Hi as Seniors. At our first class meeting we re-elected all the officers of our class. These were Donald Ecken- rode, president: Ladora Miller, vice-president: Elaine Smith, secretary: Richard Smith, treasurer: and Yvonne Shaffer as historian. Mr. Walters remained class adviser. This year for the third time, we were the victors of the magazine campaign. It was almost like the Yankees in the past World Series. When it was time for the senior class play, we selected a mystery, Dead of the Night, which turned out to be a great success. There were many activities in our senior year, some to raise and some to spend money. Those to raise money were our skating party and the Junior-Senior Prom. Those to spend were the selection of our pictures for the Memoscope and ordering name cards and announcements. Let's not forget our trip to New York. There everyone lost sleep but had a lot of fun. As a duty of the senior class we had the honor of initiating the freshmen. They certainly didn't look like freshmen and we didn't have any pity for them either because we remembered what we had to go through when we were initiated. Since our school had established a student council, we were again asked to elect a representative from our class. This year, as well as last year, JoAnn Miller was appointed. Now we bring to a close the four most wonderful years of our lives. When we look back over these past years we will think of all the wonderful times we have had. Just remember. kids, it isn't all play and no work. There are many nights you'll burn the midnight oil. We must leave you now with the thought, parting is such sweet sorrow.

Fay Sutphin receives Shirley Shoemaker's ability to have a good time wherever she is. Madelyn Wintermeyer endows her perseverance to finish high school to the oncoming mem- bers of her family. William Rodgers wills his outstanding leadership and position in the F.F.A. to Leon Lankford. David Lentz leaves to Donald Simmons his good-natured slowness. Ray Holtzapple leaves a few of his extra pounds to Philip Stoppard. To anyone in need of it. Alfred Heagy and Dean Rinehart bequeath the ability to stay out of trouble so that they may help someone to avoid the occasional mishaps they fall into. Irene Ralfensberger wills her quietness and contentedness to Arlene Bolton. To Robin Drawbaugh goes Marian Meisenhelter's dependability and straight A's in every subject, Barbara Urey's cute tendency to blush at the slightest thing is endowed to Beatrice Eisenhooth. Louella Smith bequeaths to Millicent Herman the familiar sight of a letter from a certain someone 'in the Armed Forces. h Doris Snelbecker leaves her reputation as the big tease and nice personality to Judy Eisen- art. To Shirley Meinke goes Rosalyn Naylor's sweet, coy bashfulness. Carolyn March endows her lasting friendship with underclassmen to all seventh graders- many school friendships last a lifetime-heed well this advice. Raymond Sowers and James Pressel bequeath their never-failing transportation to school through wind and storm to any of those poor unfortunate souls who are obliged to wait on the school buses. Elsie Wunsch leaves her hearty laugh to the student who may turn slightly green at the sight of his report card. Yvonne Shaffer wills her ability to entertain her fellow classmates. as well as Miss McDowell in English class. to Ellen Remmey. William Mong and Carson Smith leave behind their peculiar absences. which happen to fall, strangely enough. around hunting season, to anyone who is as good a shot as they. Ray Gross grants some of his shortness to Rodney Trimmer, although I don't believe Ray would mind having a few of Rodney's inches.

Air Force. Madame Fife Morette-reader of tea leaves. ACT I La Rue de Pain Ca street in Parisj Don: Boy! This Paris is really the place! I wish all the gang at home could see it. Dean: You said it! They've got everything here from cathedrals to chorus girls. Hey! Look over there at that sign. Don: Where? Oh-Madame Fife Morette. Reader of the Tea Leaves. Dean: Did you ever have your fortune told? Don: Heck no! That's a bunch of phooey. Dean: Yeh, I know, but it might be fun. Don: I'll het two bits she wouldn't know anything about us. Dean: I'll take you up on that. I bet she might even be able to catch up some home town gossip. Don:' It's a deal. Let's go! ACT II The dimly-lit salon of Madame Fife Morette Lts. Eckenrode and Baldwin, seated at a small table facing Madame Fife. Lt. Eckenrode has just asked for a complete reading. Mme. Fife: CAh-you are, of course, American flyboys, no? Yes, yes. The leaves tell me that you have been in the air force three years. Monsieur Eckenrode plans to make it a career, no? Monsieur Baldwin, you will not remain in the service much longer--- you will take a trip back to your home in America. You say where is your home? One moment until the leaves form a pattern. But yes-- now it is becoming clear. You live in Pennsylvania in a little town which is calledlDenver? ---No?-Dover?lYes, of course! You say what is happening at Dover? But, messieurs, you asked for a reading of your present and future. This was easy. But it is very difficult to perceive what people thousands of miles away are doing. Though-perhaps--for eight francs more the leaves would talk to me. Merci, merci beaucoup! Ohi-I see a little house surrounded by the most beautiful flowers and lawns. There is a dark-haired woman in shorts-she is digging-what ?-1but of course! She is planting more flowers. A fair young man is mowing the lawn around her flower beds. Who are they?-1 I think their name is Gross, Wayne and Ladora Gross. My, but they look happy! Now the leaves change and the scene is a large house on the outskirts of Dover. The lady of the house is just coming out. She is Carolyn March, the wife of a wealthy York industrialist. On the way to the garage she stops to tell the gardener, David Lentz, exactly how she wants the formal gardens arranged. Carolyn drives into Dover. A glance at the dash tells her she'll soon be out of gas so she stops at a sparkling new service station. The owner himself comes out for such an important customer, and who do you think the owner is? That's right, it's Richard Jacobs. I see Carolyn stopping at a grocery store. Wayne Crone, who took over his father's business, is busy in his office at the back of the store, so one of the clerks, Irene Raffensberger, waits on Carolyn. Irene won't be working at Crone's long though, for next week she is going to begin her long-awaited trip to the west coast. Carolyn must now go to York. Along the road she sees a farmer planting corn. He looks familiar. But yes, it's William Rodgers. When Carolyn meets her husband he tells her he must go to Smith's Auditing Bureau before dinner. Upon arriving at Smith's. Carson invites Carolyn to wait in the lounge while he and her husband check the books. However, Carolyn declines, saying she wants to run down to Shaffer's gift shop and get a wedding gift for Louise Moul. Louise and Pete are going to be married at Strayers Church on Saturday. Inside the gift shop, Yvonne Shaffer, proprietor, is arranging merchandise as Carolyn enters. They look at all the gift possibilities and finally select an exquisite silver cream and sugar set. Gift in hand, Carolyn returns to Smith's Auditing Bureau. Her husband has straightened out his accounts and is now phoning some last-minute instructions to his ellicient secretary, Barbara Urey. All their work completed. the couple decide to dine at The Purple Pear, a restaurant of considerable fame, not only for its food, cooked by those culinary wizards, Alfred Heagy and Dean Rinehart, but also for its fine entertainment. The Purple Pear features such famous 4.0 The I9 54 Memoscope personalities as Silver-Throated Ruthie fShermeyerj and that Razz-a-Ma-Tazz queen herself, Miss Gayle Emig. When Carolyn and her husband enter The Purple Pear, Shirley Shoemaker, the receptionist, shows them to a table. Shirley and Carolyn are old friends so they chat awhile. Carolyn thinks that Shirley's plans to marry Nick, an English sailor, and visit London on their honeymoon are just too thrilling. By the time the waitress, Madelyn Wintermyer. comes to take the order and--and-l Oh, I am so sorry, Messieurs, but the leaves can tell no more. Of course for five more francs perhaps-- Oui! Merci! Merci!! Hmm-the pattern formed looks like an institution of some kind. A hospital? No. More like a school. Oui, it is a modern consolidated American school. There are big children and little children. Maybe an elementary and high school together, no? A little boy in the fifth grade must have misbehaved for his teacher. Miss Marian Meisen- helter, sent him to the office. There, the principal, Haines Remmey, will teach him how little boys should behave in school. In the gymnasium we hear boys shouting and running. The seniors are having gym class and Coach Gordon Thompson is giving them a real work-out. Down the hall from the gymnasium someone is reciting Shakespeare. The voice sounds like an old classmate of yours, Don. You say it might be Robert Roller. But of course, that's exactly who it is. Robert is teaching Junior and Senior English this year. Suddenly all activity in the building ceases. Doris Snelbecker, Principal Remmey's secretary. makes an announcement. She says that all Sophomore students should report to the nurse's room immediately. The Sophomores all know what to expect, for they are the only class in school whom Nurse Julene Bentz hasn't weighed and measured this year. A man, rather short and stocky, glances into the nurse's room, then goes to talk over more important matters with the principal. School Director Pressel must make his visit to school short today, for he has a business conference scheduled at three o'clock. As Mr. Pressel leaves the school, he bumps into Richard Deisinger, the milkman, who is making his daily delivery to the school cafeteria. Exchanging pardon me's with Mr. Deisinger. the school director walks to his car. En route he passes Mrs. Carl Billet, formerly Louella Smith. Mrs. Billet is visiting school today. I-Ier little boy will start kindergarten next year and she wants to meet his future teacher. Mr. Pressel drives to the nearest drug store and makes a phone call to his secretary, Elsie Wunsch. I-le tells her that he won't come back to the oflice any more today. so she may have the afternoon off. Elsie is very happy. She has a very important date with her dreamboat tonight and a few extra hours to get ready surely will be appreciated. She leaves the office and hails a cab. The driver, Ray Gross, squeals to a stop and Elsie hops in. Mr. Gross looks like he might be ready to entertain his passenger with a silly joke, but I'm not sure. The leaves seem to be getting hazy again. Perhaps Messieurs would like to hear about the rest of their friends for another five francs? You say five francs is too much! But Messieurs, the others are much harder to place. They seem all scattered and the leaves can't decide who is where. No? How about four francs? Merci, merci beaucoup! I see a young girl wearing a white uniform. She is walking through the corridors of a huge hospital. You say it might be JoAnn Miller, no----it is not she. What? You say perhaps it is Joyce Miller. Yes, of course, it is Joyce walking through the corridors of Philadelphia General Hospital. Now Nurse Miller goes into the operating room. There are several internes and nurses assisting an eminent surgeon who is performing a difficult operation. I see a familiar face in the observation gallery. Of course. it is Twila Wolf who is in her first year at medical ichool. After the operation is completed an orderly, William Mong, wheels the patient back to er room. The leaves are in a turmoil now-Now they're settling--ah-I see the bright lights of a city-it is Chicago. Over there is a beautiful new hotel. What an extraordinary building! That sign on the cornerstone says Mr. R. C. Smith was the architectural engineer who designed it. A man enters the hotel leading a small girl by the hand. The man is rather tall and dark with big brown eyes. That must be Mr. Ralph Crane and his oldest daughter. Mr. Crane stops in the lobby and asks the desk clerk, Ray I-Ioltzapple, what room Miss Rosalyn Naylor occupies. Having obtained this information, he and his little girl go up to her room in an ultra-modern elevator operated by a very beautiful young Miss whose name is Elaine Smith. Elaine works at the hotel between modeling assignments. When they reach the eleventh floor, Mr. Crane and daughter leave the elevator and go to Miss Naylor's suite. Rosalyn greets them cordially and tells the little girl how glad she is to have her as a new piano student. The lesson begins as the indulgent father sits listening and--- shhi-the leaves move once more--we're now back at your home town of Dover. I see a smartly-dressed young lady standing at a bus stop. The bus driver. Raymond Sowers. stops and greets her pleasantly as she gets on. He says he heard she was going to take a vacation from her usual laboratory work. Yes, JoAnn Miller says. Gordie and I are going to see the World Series---in--- I'm sorry, but the leaves will tell no more. Don and Dean: Thank you so much. Madame Fife. This has been most enlightening. Mme. Fife: You're welcome. The pleasure has been mine. Bon jour!

The past few years we've had a lot of fun, With our paper airplanes and our water gun, But the next few years and years to proceed, We'll be taking more serious things in our steed. All things were needed, even the pests, Homework, of course, and semester tests. We loved all the teachers, and all of their wishes. We sure liked the lunches, those wonderful dishes.

JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY CHAPTER I Upon entering Dover High School in our Freshman year, we were a be- wildered group of pupils consisting of the grand total of 76. From the very beginning there were more girls than boys and the girls looked upon the boys and oh-h-h-h! We, the bewildered group, got together and had a first class meeting, elect- ing officers to lead the gang. After much chattering, we found that our officers were to be: President, Fay Sutphin: Vice-President, Doris Jacoby: Secretary, Esther Miller: Assistant Secretary, Fayetta Wehler: Treasurer, Rodney Eisen- hart: and Historian, John Krout. Mr. Little became our class adviser. And, too. at the beginning we chose our class flower, class colors, and class motto. We decided to have a white rose as our flower with class colors of navy blue and white. For our motto, we came up with Live to Learn and Learn to Live. As Freshmen our activities were few, but we sponsored a Christmas party in the gymnasium for the entire school, served eats, and also supplied entertainment. The I9 54 Memoscope 4.5 That first year was a difficult one, but through it all we learned to know each other, the pleasing personalities, the bright ones, the happy and serious ones, and the ones who gave laughs to all. Yes, it was a glorious year, but at the end, we glanced back and noticed we had lost some. They were Shirley Hollinger, Ronald Lehr, Raymond March, Eugene Drawbaugh, Glenn Smith, Kenneth Gentzler, Patsy Border, Richard Jenkins, Jesse Fetrow, Faye Goodwin, and Dale Krone. At the end of our Freshman year we went together with Sophomores and had a hop, then with sad faces and wiser hearts we closed the doors of Dover High School and our freshman year with a good-bye. CHAPTER II Oh, happy days are here again and into High School we trooped. We weren't freshmen any more. No, we were the wise fools, dubbed Sophomores. Our future looked bright. Although our class was smaller, we discovered new faces along the way. These gave their names as Tim Biser, Ruth Zeigler, Paul Brenneman, Ernest Graflius, John Levisky, George Wuenschinski, Donald Shuler, Peggy Chronister and Norman Ort. We were gathered together once again to elect officers and our results looked promising. This year we elected Rodney Eisenhart as president and Irvin De- veney to be our vice-president. Others were: Secretary, Esther Miller: Assistant Secretary, Nancy McKinney: Treasurer, Margaret Ketterman: and Historian, John Krout. There were some who hadn't returned to school and others who dropped out along the way. They were Glenn Gettys and Robert Snyder, Ronald Crone, Mary Kroft, and Shirley Zeigler. This year we undertook more activities and sponsored the school's annual Hallowe'en party, a booming success. As last year, we had a hop with the Freshmen. Everybody was invited. Soon the year was over and once again after a happy time, we sighed and handed our books to the teacher, also thanking Mr. Little, class adviser, for helping us. CHAPTER III Well, the doors of Dover High School opened and we entered as Juniors. Happy days are here again. Glancing around found us no new faces but we lost quite a few. They were Tim Biser, Paul Brenneman, George Wuenschinski, Gale Kidd, Ardella Byerts, Nancy McKinney and Doris Jacoby. Once again there was a class meeting and the following were elected: Presi- dent, Rodney Eisenhart: Vice-President, John Levisky, Secretary, Evelyn Crone: Treasurer, Margaret Ketterman: and Historian, Sheila Van Pelt. John Krout resigned as historian: Mr. Little was still class adviser. We stepped into a busy year. This year it was our duty to publish the yearbook. Oh. the blues we had, but through it all we came out on top. Now it was time for us to show our talents in acting. Yes, the Junior play was a great success and lots of fun. Then the year drew to an end and with the Seniors we planned the Prom. Oh! It was a lovely time. Looking over the year found it eventful, but we saw a beautiful year ahead of us. We would be coming back as Seniors. Oh! Happy days! 46 The 1954 Memoscope JUNIOR SNAPS fl .na-P A.

HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF '57 There were eighty-four of us as we entered Dover High for our Fresh- man year. We were counted as fifty-four boys and thirty girls. lt wasn't long until some of us dropped by the wayside. They were Dale Krone, Francis Kramlick and Scott NVertz, who transferred to Phineas Davis. After a few weeks, Kenneth Everhart came to us from North York. Our first class meeting will remain in our memories a long time, for we elected the class oflicers. Our president was Bernard Levisky: vice-president, Henry Lauer: secretary, Rozalia Eckenrode: and treasurer, Glenn Fetrow. Charlene Calvert was elected historian for the four years. As class adviser we chose Mrs. Kunkel. At our second meeting we chose 'iOut of the Harbor Into the Deep as our class motto. The yellow rose was chosen as our class flower and our colors are Navy and Gold.

LIBRARY 'CLUB This year a club of the librarians has been formed with Miss McDowell as the adviser. Early in the year a meeting was held and the election of officers took place. Under Miss McDowell, holding student head librarian position, is Twila Wolf. Standing as president is Elaine Smith with a helping vice-president, Fay Sutphin. Elected as secretary is Patricia Carey, and assisting is Doris Garrett. Then, too, there is the bank roll gal, Essie Nelson, dubbed as treasurer. Well. the election went over fine, but it was decided that they would need someone to collect and report news. This was gifted to Sheila Van Pelt. The library club was organized for a purpose and special duties were assigned to certain librarians. Arranging the attractive, original display on the library bulletin board are all librarians, who alternate in groups of three. Magazines must be kept orderly and books must be mended and styled. The cross-catalog- ing of reference books and notification to pupils of over-due books is the re- sponsibility of the librarians. Too, there is dusting for the home type librarians. Besides the library responsibilities there is a standard of rules to be kept. A few of the important rules are as follows: Books are borrowed for a period of two weeks: a fine of 2 cents per day is charged for over-due books, lost or damaged books must be paid for by pupil whose name appears on card and reference books are not to be taken from the library at any time. 62 The 1954 Memoscope 4, -F -X, -..- First row, Ief! to rz'ghl-Beatrice Eisenhooth.

Through the Red Cross the students and faculty get to know the work and purpose of the Red Cross. lt also serves the servicemen of our country with shows and food. The people throughout the different parts of the world depend greatly upon the Red Cross. Our Red Cross here at Dover is planning great activities for this year and years to follow. Our school and most all of the other schools of the United States fill boxes with school supplies, novelties. and many other trinkets. The boxes are sent as Christmas gifts and Easter gifts also. The adviser of the Red Cross for Dover High School is Miss Edna Ely. Other officers are as follows: President, John Levisky: Vice-President, Essie Nelson: Secretary Clyde Wisner.

The Future Farmers of America is a national organization of, by, and for boys studying vocational agriculture in public secondary schools under the pro- vision of the National Vocational Education Acts. The FFA., as it is commonly known, is a non-proht, non-political, farm youth organization of voluntary membership, designed to take its place along with other agencies striving for the development of leadership, the building of better agriculture and the improvement of country life. It is one of the best and most eflicient ways to teach agriculture. The FFA. is IOOW American in its ideals and outlook and there is no secrecy in any of its activities. It exists today because of a cooperative spirit and desire on the part of farm boys 14 to Z1 years of age preparing for farming through vocational agriculture to have a national organization of their own in which they may secure practical business experience, act as their own teachers and enjoy the fellowship of one another. Its members learn through active participation how to conduct and take part in a public meeting, to speak in public, to buy and sell cooperatively, to solve their own problems, and to nuance themselves. As a result of all these things, farm home life is being improved. The 1954 Memoscope 67 - - ., . , ,. ,, , W, First row, left to right-Donna Gettys, Shirley Lamb. Patricia Cochran.

The Future Homemakers of America is the national organization of pupils studying homemaking in junior high schools of the United States and territories. As a part of the program of home economics in the schools of America it offers opportunity for the further development of pupils in planning and carry- ing out activities related to homemaking. We are trying to follow our program of Work in relation to the State pro- gram such as, further interest in home economics, to develop interest in school, to do charitable deeds, and civic pride in the community. The eight purposes of the F.H.A. are: l. To promote a growing appreciation of the joys and satisfactions of homemaking. 2. To emphasize the importance of worthy home membership, 3. To encourage democracy in home and community life. 4. To work for good home and family life for all. 5. To promote international good will. 6. To foster the development of creative leadership in home and community life. 7. To provide wholesome individual and group recreation. 8 . . To further interest in home economics. This is the first year for Junior High F.H.A. and We have almost a hundred per cent membership. The reason for starting the club is to learn and practice proper parliamentary procedure, and to gain the general idea of the F.H.A. 68 The 1954 Memoscope .f 1 KN First row, left to right--Ruth Shermeyer, Louise Moul.

SENICR CLASS PLAY The Senior Class presented a three-act mystery, The Dead of Night. on December 5, 1953. Mr. Richard Walters, director: Miss Elaine Smith, student director. Each member of the cast plays an important role in the closely-woven plot. The story takes place late one night in January in a Vermont farm house. The cast presents a wide variety of character types which all serve to thicken the plot. The plot evolves around the murder of old Jake Monroe. In the course of solving the murder another murder is committed. The victim is probably the least deserving member of the plot, and the killer proves to be one of the least suspected members. The play is to form a number of theories in the minds of the audience. Characters are: Joey Baldwin CRobert Rollerj, eighteen years old, a half-wit but not an idiot. Martha Baldwin CLouise Moulj is Joey's mother and is a very kind but settled person. Allen Richards CDonald Eckenrodej is Martha Baldwin's nephew who is a law student. He falls in love with Ruth Nash, but doesn't become engaged. Ruth Nash QLadora Millerj is Donald's fiancee, who is very charming and attractive and has a nice personality. Sarah Warkins fGayle Emigl is the hired help in the Baldwin household, old and haggard, but humorous. David Carruthers CWilliam Rodgersj is a school teacher and has fallen in love with Martha. Lela Chapman CTwi1a Wolfl is a mystery woman who is not really what she appears to be. Adam Glassett CRichard Smith5 is a backwoods constable who tries to Hash authority which he does not have. Donald Hull CStanley Baldwinj is a nice boy with one of the best jobs in Vermont. The 10 54 Memoscope 69 Sitting, left to right-Sheila Van Pelt. Mildred Stare. Millicent Herman, Ruth Zeigler.

J U N IO R P LAY DRUMS OF DEATH A group of oddly contrasting people arrive at midnight at the half-ruined mansion in the desolate lagoon. They have been summoned by a telegram which they quickly discover is false, but the discovery comes too late for them to escape from the place where weird forces and malignant people threaten their very lives. Bailey, the relative of most of them, has disappeared. They question the others, the half-mad housekeeper, the octoroon girl whose strange trances frighten them half out of their wits, the surly Haitian Negro, and Harley, whom they scarcely know whether to trust or fear the most of all. They struggle to solve the mystery of the place, the cabinet that is death to open, the hooded figure that appears from time to time, the ghost that creeps from the shadows, the monster that lurks and threatens, and back of it all the insistent, dull. throbbing signal of the mysterious drums, Yet always, to break the tension, there is the crackle of laughter at the absurdities of the sheriff and the saucy Amelia, and there is the warmth and glow of the romance that develops in spite of the sunless terror of the place. Characters are: Celeste, the octoroon, who has weird trances: the house- keeper who seems ready to break under some terror: Paula and Amelia, attractive modern girls of contrasting types: the gushing Eugenia: Mrs. Gillette, who in- tends to put up with no nonsense: Jules, the Haitian Negro, surly and menacing: a prosperous medical specialist: the lawyer in charge of the estate, and the sheriff who, unintentionally, provides the play with plenty of laughs. 70 The IU 54 Memoscope First row, left to right-Maxine Worley, Beatrice Eisenhooth, Nancy Beivenour, Joan Miller, Rosalyn Naylor, Fayetta Wehler, Essie Nelson, Sara Deitz.

SENIOR H IGH CHEERLEADING So many girls have reported for cheerleading during the past several years that it has been necessary to have try-outs in order to select those girls most adapted to this type of activity. Cheerleading requires long and hard practice to learn when and how to put into use the school cheers, songs and yells. Favorite cheers of Dover High School are: Cherry and Steel You gotta fight Fight, Fight You gotta fight big team, Cherry and Steel You gotta fight Fight, Fight You gotta win Cherry and Steel You gotta win big team Cherry and Steel You gotta win Fight, Fight, Fight You gotta fight to Win You gotta fight to win Come on team let's Hght. 76 The 1954 Memoscope ' ,, , .

JUNIOR H IGH CHEERLEADERS When school spirits need a little spark the junior high cheerleaders are always there to do their best. The basketball games would not be complete without the whirling skirts of these pepsters. The members of this squad all work together to accomplish perfect team work, each girl knowing that it is her job to keep the school spirit alive. With their faculty adviser. Mrs. Helen Ortman, to help them they practiced old and new cheers. It is the cheerleaders' job to keep up good school spirits and to keep the basketball team fighting to win their games. Most of these cheerleaders come from Dover area. They consist of Ralphine Neiman, Donna Gettys, JoAnn Quickel, Patricia Billet, Elizabeth Ernst, Alice Mae Thompson and Irene Smith. This year the Junior High cheerleaders received new uniforms. The beauti- ful skirts are cherry color. They are very full with about eighty pleats. The sweaters are grey wool with turtle neck collar. We are certainly very proud of our new uniforms. The cheerleaders with their uniforms of cherry and steel, regardless of what the weather might be, are always there to do their best.

GIRLS' SENIOR HIGH TRACK TEAM The Girls' Senior High Track Team was not as fortunate as they have been in the past, although the girls are Working hard to regain the old record. In 1946, 1947 and 1949 the girls came back to school with the York County Track Championship. Participants in the track team have their choice of throwing the base- ball, throwing the basketball, running in the shuttle relay, or the 50-yard dash. Mrs. Helen Ortman is faculty adviser of the team. 78 The 1954 lllemosco-pe First row, left to right-Patricia Carey, Nancy Beivenour.

Gee, Sis, l'd like to, but l'd never make it for the team. l'm not half as good as you, and last year all I did was help warm the bench. Well, Jo, since Beverly Garrett, June Kinsey and Delores Krone grad- uated, we will need more players for the team this year. Who are some of the girls reporting to practice? Probably Gayle Emig, Louise Moul, Doris Garrett, Lois Wire, Jo Spoon, and many others, and don't forget after some of the girls graduate this year, we are going to need new players. What do you say? Are you coming? Well, Sis, why stand here? Let's get moving. We will be late and I know we cannot win our games Without practice. 80 The I9 5 4 Memoscope ,J E EYE s Left lo right-Madelyn Wintermyer, Gayle Emig, Louise Nloul.

GIRLS' BASKETBALL DEAR READER: We have been writing to you through the years, telling you about our team. For the last ive years we won the York County Girls' Basketball Championship, under the supervision of Mrs. Helen Ortman. Unfor- tunately, this year the York County Girls' League has been dissolved. It was a great disappointment to all the girls on the team. We were looking forward to winning our sixth championship. We didn't go through the year without playing any games. We had one game with Fairfield and two with Dillsburg. Practices were held over the lunch hour and sometimes after school. Much to the surprise of the coach, more girls came to practice than was expected. Among them were Lois Wire, Madelyn Wintermyer, Joyce Miller, Doris Garrett, and many others. Well. we're hoping to see you next year as a greater team. Yours respectfully, A PLAYER.

SOCCER The Dover High Soccer team has always been very outstanding in the York County Scholastic Soccer League. The team has earned the reputation of being a clean, courageous and fighting squad. The team was coached by Mr. Harry Little, who was a graduate of Penn State University. The team has had some very stiff competition, but they worked hard and gave the opposing teams a lot of trouble. At the beginning of soccer practice approximately 30 players turned out, of which a large majority were freshmen and sophomores. Several seniors were to be lost at the end of the soccer season. They were Wayne Clem Crone, who was the team's top fullback: Gordon Gordie Thompson, co-captain, and one of the team's best scorers: Ralph Crane, co-captain, and a good player at the position of inside right: Richard Dick Smith, who played a good game at center half. When the season had closed, we found that Dover had placed fourth in the league, and North York placed first, winning the championship that Dover had won last season. The following are the teams that have played against Dover this season: Northern, Spring Grove, Manchester, North York, and East Berlin. The team also played McCaskey High School of Lancaster which re- sulted in a 3-2 win for Dover. The record which Dover has obtained this year is 3 wins, 4 losses, and 3 ties. 82 The 1954 Memoscope . , XX ' Y First row, left to right-Nevin Harlacker, Ernie Holmes, Donald Shuller, Donald Gross, John Levisky, Richard Smith, Raymond Thompson, James Staub, Robert Roller, Mr. Little, Leslie Kimmel, Rodney Trimmer, Donald Eckenrode, William Paup, Samuel Herman, Leroy Snelbecker, Irvin Deveney, Dale Wolfrom. DIAMOND MAGIC The old familiar cry of Play ball brought the gloves and bats from the dusty corners of the closet. This year some fourteen odd candidates showed up at Coach Harry Little's first call for spring practice. Two old timers, Leroy Spahr and Donald Baughman, were missing but the va- cancies were soon filled. Coach and players alike are looking forward to one of the best seasons they've had in a long time. We hope it may turn out to be a hope well founded. The team this year consists of the following players: Nevin Harlacker, Ernest Holmes, Donald Schuller, Donald Gross, John Levisky, Richard Smith, Gordon Thompson, Rodney Trimmer, Donald Eckenrode, Wil- liam Paup, Samuel Herman, Leroy Snelbecker, Irvin Deveney and Dale Wolfrom. The managers to whom credit is due are James Staub, Robert Roller and Leslie Kimmel. Under the supervision of Coach Little the team is looking forward to a good season.

This was due mainly to the inexperience of the players as com- pared to the player personnel of other schools. Also the team found themselves quite outmatched insofar as the number of players trying out for the team was concerned. This year the number has increased somewhat over last year which is a good sign for the future. The most experienced boys, Gordon Thompson and Ralph Crane, who are also the two returning lettermen, formed the nucleus for this year's team, Carry- overs from last year's reserve team are Irvin Deveney, John Krout, Ernest Holmes, Raymond Sowers. Dean Rinehart, and Alfred Heagy, who saw a lot of action and battled it out for the berths vacated by graduated Seniors of last year. Rodney Trimmer from the Junior High team, showed up well in pre-season practice sessions and gained a respectable reputation in the league as a player although only a Sophomore. John Levisky and Terry Firestone, two Juniors who were out for the first time this year, did surprisingly well despite their first experience. A lot of the credit for the fine playing and good sportsmanship goes to the coach, Mr. Little, who spent many hours with the team. Mr. Little is a graduate of Penn State. Due to Mr. Little's fine coaching the team has shown progress during the past three years. 84 The 1954 Memoscope i , J ,f .X X .

JUNIOR H IGH BASKETBALL Jr. Hi Basketball at Dover High School received its origin in 1944 under the direction of Mr. Gross. Ofncially in the league schedule the teams have not been able to win many games from other schools who have had Jr. Hi teams over a long period of time, but the main purpose of the Jr. Hi team at Dover is to give the boys more experience before they are candidates for the Senior High squad. All the boys that are the main Senior High team at present were varsity men on the Jr. Hi team when they were freshmen. If the Jr. Hi team doesn't win many games, support the team because the main purpose is to encourage the boys to become better Senior High basketball players.
