I. SCHOOL PERSONNEL CHIEFS From the time the first school bus arrives in the morning until the last one leaves in the afternoon, Mr. Gruver and Mr. Hash are busy mak' ing the school system run smoothly. A large responsibility is placed upon the capable shoulders of these vital men, but they are never t x) occupied with their multitude of duties to lend a hand with a worthwhile project. Students feel free to confide in them as an unfailing source of sound and steadying advice. Their determi' nation to discipline students fairly and with understanding has earned them the appreciation of the entire student body. Although this is Mr. Hash's first year with us, we feel that he already belongs. He, and Mr. Gruver have been wonderful friends to us and a great inspiration to the class of ”52 . % 10 f. COUNCIL It is doubtful whether the average student realizes the full extent of the services rendered by this behind-the-scenes organization. So, we arc happy to take this oppor- tunity to express our gratitude to these men who are so vitally essential to the well- being of the school. The Conewago Joint School District originated from five separate and independent school districts in 1948. It is composed of representatives from Abbottstown, Cone- wago Independent, East Berlin, Reading, and Paradise. The twenty-five members have always taken a keen interest in all matters pertaining to the student body and school property. Through their untiring efforts the school is always well supplied with all the necessary materials and a competent faculty is secured to keep things running smoothly. OFFICERS Harry R.

Be reasonable' How can you expect to perch on the boss’ lap if you don’t know how to pound a typewriter or take at least 40 words per minute? And commercial boys! how arc you going to become a business executive worthy of a secretary? Typing, Shorthand, Jr. Business Training, and Business Mathe- matics cannot be Greek to you! These sub- jects arc the basic essentials of your chosen career. A capable secretary, stenographer, or typist will never lack a position. Every financial wizard on Wall Street would be as helpless as a baby without his office staff. Master the art of composing a tactful and yet friendly business letter. Soon the boss will rely on your ability completely. And then . . . Bingo! You may be the new boss! Or, if your business acumen is strictly mediocre . . . you can always marry the boss’ daughter! Mrs. Mic ley and Mr. Schade English English class! If only it were over! But ... do we stop to think how important that “good-for-noth- ing’’ English is to us? Presenting our thoughts clearly and concisely and being able to speak correctly is a priceless asset in any career for which we may hope. Although we have resisted every step of the way all the efforts of our instructors, still we have been exposed to verbs, predicates, nouns, adjectives, etc. It was a tough fight, but they won! Despite our untiring battle, some of the grammar must have taken root, as our diploma will testify. We have hob-nobbed with Stevenson. Longfellow. Chaucer, and Shakespeare. We have cheered with Walt Whitman and shed a tear over Elizabeth Barrett Browning. GUIDES Mr. Straycr. Miss Miller. Mr. Schadc Science What makes the sunset? Why can't we hop on the daily rocket ship to the moon? How can split' ting an atom cause such a deadly explosion? We find to our surprise that science is not a subject packed away in dusty tomes, to he reluctantly taken out and examined, then tucked away again. We arc suddenly aware of the earth beneath our sad- dle shoes, a brisk breeze ripples our short haircut, we tilt back our head and behold the numberless stars! Every growing thing around us, either animal, vegetable, or mineral, functions on a series of daily miracles, all of which we have been too preoccupied to notice. Now through the enthusiastic guidance of our science teacher, we find we arc able to leave our small selves behind and begin to explore the wonders of the universe! Home Economics Art Attention! All girls who arc out to earn their M.R.S. Degree! What do you do if you can't afford another evening dress and the only one you own is as old as the hills? Or what do you do if your husband un- expectedly calls to tell you he is bringing the boss to dinner and all you have on hand arc a few cans of beans. With the evening dress, you would alter the neckline, remove the sleeves, add an overskirt of net and sequins . . . and voila! A sparkling, new gown and the cost was almost non-existent. The dinner, with the help of those delicious recipes from Home Ec. will soon have everyone's mouth watering, and you'll have a husband that's proud of you. The art training we receive will prove priceless to us and our Home Ec. course is always in there fighting to bring the future wives and mothers back to the one career of which they are undisputed masters. 13 Mrs. Sheely and Mrs. Staley INDIAN Back.

This is the kind of problem we’ve been racking our brains on for the last few eternities, and we still can’t compete with Mr. Einstein. However, our brains are beginning to function properly and we shall certainly graduate better equipped to deal with future income tax returns and household budgets! Back. Mr. Ward. Mr. hfina; front. Mr. Taylor. Mr. Fisse I History History books arc not just endless pages of print and thanks to recent movies and novels we arc beginning to realize their possibilities. We have become aware of the fact that the latest Time magazine is really just more recent history, paper-bound. Once we manage to identify history with our own personal world, we have taken a big step toward becoming the leaders of our beloved birthplace. Agriculture Did you ever smell the newly-turned earth or hear the whispering of the corn in the wind? This is the life our Future Farmers of America love! Our soil scien- tists are being taught the newest methods in the highly important field of food pro- ducing. As the result of the wonderful new inventions on the farm, the training the Future Farmer receives in shop will prove invaluable when fixing that plow or fence on the spur of the moment. For those of us who were lucky enough to bo born on a farm, who take a heavily laden table for granted, there is no other life! We live the best part of our days out of doors, close to the earth. We struggle with, but also reap the harvests of Mother Nature. 14 Mr. Breighner, Mr. Tribby GUIDES Physical Education Backaches, strained muscles, and bruises are all the outcome of a day in gym class. But who cares? What is more fun than doing a cartwheel, flip-flop, or jumping- jack? But don’t get us wrong! It is more than just strenuous exercise, it’s fun too! Then too. there are the arguments in the locker room as to who cheated who, and where, and when! But still, when put to- gether, what does it all add up to? A yearning for the next gym class, naturally! N urse When those aches and pains from gym class refuse to fade, we arc on the double to sec the school nurse. Miss Wolfe. Her helping hand is always ready to apply a band-aid to a cut finger or patch up a skinned knee. The senior girls will surely find practical uses for the knowledge passed on to them about home-nursing. As our guardian angel, she has a tre- mendous task and we arc increasingly grateful for her kindly assistance with scissors and tape. Office When we want something special in the way of a play program, to whom do we turn? We bounce into the office to consult with our good friend, Mrs. Baker. She runs a highly organised office we arc proud to state! Students and faculty alike come to her for help, which she always gives with a smile! And just everybody, (and we mean everybody) turns to our custodian, Mr. Kroft, when anything goes wrong. We appreciate greatly the extra services he so willingly renders. Miss Wolfe and Mr. Divincy Music The music masters, Bach, Beethoven, and Brahms are brought into the lives of our students through the music classes which arc available to all. Even if you can't read a note of music, with the efficient instruction of Mrs. Elgin you can reach great heights of ability. Our bandmaster, Mr. Ward, will be more than willing to teach you to play any instrument that captures your fancy. Mrs. Elgin. Mr. Ward Mrs. Balder, Mr. Kroft 15 STRICTLY Even though we do gripe about classes and their teachers, we know that without them we would not be able to tackle many problems that come our way. The different courses arc provided so that we students can best pick our subjects that tend to help us in our chosen careers. Those taking the academic course take their daily trips to algebra, chemistry, geometry, physics, and trig' onometry classes as well as the re' quired English and history. Com' 16 BUSINESS mercial students take two years of shorthand, three years of typing, book- keeping, business math, and the re- quired subjects. Our agriculture and home economics students add a touch of farming, homemaking, shop, and art to their list of required subjects. For those students who like a little bit of everything there is the general course. So you see—this large choice of subjects enables all of us to study what subjects we want most. 17 II.

When we first became members of the tribe, we were shy, timid, and more than a little puzzled at the bewildering tribal customs, regalia, and ceremonies! We watched the elders longingly and wondered when we should become important enough to join in the awe-inspiring events. That memorable day when 96 maidens and braves entered the tribe will never be forgotten. Our initiation ceremony was highlighted with all newcomers attending in sleeping attire. Dauntless brave Clifford Barnes contributed to the entertainment by hauling No-so-Brave P x)dle Spangler in a wheelbarrow. We also promoted tribal spirit by introducing to the elders of the tribe a new sport, known as roller skating. All too soon (or not soon enough!) came summer and we all moved from the reservation to better hunting grounds. Many deer were slain and it was during this season that many braves began to notice that all deer w-ere not four-footed! With the coming of autumn, we migrated back to our winter lodges. Again we became students under the watchful eyes of the council. Aside from our busy days of learning, we found time to hold a Snowball Dance to welcome winter. Our braves began training to represent the Conewago Indians” in the coming Olympics. Athletes Mummert, Hinkle, and Liu surprised us with their basketball skill and made us feel more than a little proud of our fellow tribesmen. After another sparkling summer in the lowlands, we started our junior year. This year we lost four of our members to neighboring tribes. As a treat we were taken to visit Gettysburg, the scene of many white mens battles. About this time several young men of the tribe were beginning to vie with each other over the attentions of a comely maiden, Pauline Crawford. Indeed, by now most of the braves and maidens were definitely aware of their opposites. Our Junior Prom was a smashing success and our Mistletoe Ball likewise. As the following winter rolled around we returned to our reservation for the last time as members. Now we were looking forward to choosing partners and establishing our own lodges. To celebrate our new status as elders of the tribe, we held a Winter Prom and four parties. We came through with a Championship Basketball team that left everyone proud of us. Our masterpiece for the museum of relics was our “Re- flector”. 26 TRIBES BIG-WIGS Class Off icers Through the election of class officers, our students receive valuable experience which will help them to understand the workings of our democracy. The elected officers gain priceless opportunities for leadership, while the class as a whole learns by the trial and error method to make wise choices in those who shall represent them.

Class Advisors When in times of trying decisions, our first instinct is to turn to Mr. Strayer or Mr. Nine for support. We feel that we can always count on their help to carry out our various widely diversified projects and activities. Through the coming years, in success or failure, we will always remember the guidance of these two key men in our all- important high school years. As the years go by, we will be increasingly grateful as we begin to appreciate the full extent of their steadying influence! JOHN JACOBS Agriculture East Berlin R. D. 2 Intra.

As we travel over the country, we make our first stop at East Berlin High School—where we find Gary Zcigler as principal. Helping Professor Zcigler run things smoothly are Math Genius, Dean Diehl, Janet Auchey, who is following in Mrs. Gideon's footsteps, and Ken Geiger coaching the Indians to another victory. We move on down the road toward York and approached a little shack called “Murray's Beauty Salon” where we find Dot Miller waving Sherman Kimmel's natural, curly hair. Across the street we visit a hake shop where Mac Gregor and Jean Rinehart arc still specializing in Apple Pan Dowdy Contests. From here we charter one of Wayne Mummert's “There in a minute!'' Taxies—only to find it's his hopped-up Belvidere.” As we approach the heart of the city we see a big building towering in the east, a sample of Lute Myers' architecture. Occupying the first floor is Kathie MiL ler's Model Shop—Lessons Free! On the second floor we see Dr. Bechtel's office with Louise Boyer and Janet Leas assist' ing him. We must hurry now to catch our Chartered Space Ship for New York City, piloted by Don Myers. As we land we are greeted by Wayne Lau and his Knick-a-Bockers with Earl Bollinger as the star; brother he certainly has irn- proved! Our first stop in New York is Radio City and here we pause to listen to George Myers' famous Jazz Boat Sere- naders with Jane Anderson as the featured singer. Around the corner we see a big sign announcing the grand opening of Tof- fey's “Friend of the Farmer Agency,” when we enter his office we find his wife Pauline trying to greet the visitors and watch her five little tots, who insist on tearing the flowers apart! Before we leave we must visit the Latin Quarters. We're just in time for the floor show, starring Betty Zartman and her Girbctts; Dot Howe and Siv Klinedinst. Occupying the first row are none other than Percy Hinkle, Tony Leas, and Josie Gladfelter keeping time to their favorite tune—“Shrimp Boats' . As the curtain comes down we see Doris coming down the aisle, rolling pin in hand, after Tony—It's time we leave! Next, we jump across the nation on a speeding train engineered by Bill Miller, to the land of sunshine—California open up those golden gates! Here we find we find Moyer and Jacobs, Inc., raising “dates” and peaches to make things sweeter! From here we enter Movieland where we find none other than Lute Arendt directing a film called “My Childish Husband, starring Shirley Spangler as wife and Carl Richards as the childish husband. Taking a glimpse at the beach we find Marilyn Yohe in a French bathing suit— still trying to get her one and only, Clifford Barnes, but encountering great competition with Leona Ruppcrt and Sylvia Shimmel. Traveling downtown in Rohrbaugh's chartered car we spy Dolheimer and stop at his garage where we find him trying to convince his wife, Peg Mum- inert, that Pontiac products are better than Chrysler’s. Once again we're on our way south. We are stopped along the way by a funeral procession and upon investiga tion we find that the friendly under- taker, Mousie Claybaugh has just buried Bobby Powers, who died of a heart-at- tack, when Mary Fair refused a date. We also see the undertaker's wife, Doris Messinger, and her maid, Vivian Mc- Coury, cleaning up the funeral parlor. A little farther south we find an Ultra- modern “Crazy House run by Mr. Mrs. Paul Smith. The Mrs. was the former Delores Criswell. At last we reach Florida and eat at Bushey's restaurant where we find Doris Shellenbcrger and Henrietta Miller as smiling waitresses. One consolation as we cat our meal is that it was prepared by Sis Wilt and Rachel Miller—two capable cooks. Believe it or not we run into the wedding of Carolyn and Fred Baker, who have been united by Rev. Dr. Clair Myers. We seem to be running into all our classmates, because there is Shirley Bur- gard, better known as the Fuller Brush Woman, trying to sell Doris Berkheimcr Bollinger a brush that will give her hair that natural look. She informs us that Phil Mummert has finally married Bill Lerew and Shir- ley Ebcrly is somewhere up in Iceland— trying to be a missionary. 34 Day is done I pledge allegiance................and another school day begins.

To all the teachers we will an abundant supply of humor and patience—it they have another class like ours they'll need it! To the juniors we will all of our exam papers, notes and beat'up books. Grin and bear it kids- it's only one more year. For all those silly sophomores we will more patience so they can wait until they're Seniors to act conceited don't do it now! To the freshmen wc lend a helping hand—you have a long climb ahead. To the future Trig, students wc will Dean Diehl's brains—only take part of them though—he needs the rest. We will Sis Wilt's ability to be true to her man to Joyce Gladfclter. To the future president of Student Council we will all of Charlie Bechtel's ex- pericncc in that line. We will to Tom Arendt, George Myers' cornet—we're tired of it. To Mr. Nine we will some long handled brushes to clean up the gym. We will Kathie Miller's supply of peroxide to Shirley Staub—maybe it will inv prove her looks and personality. To next year's basketball team we will “Konk” Lau's, “Percy Hinkle's “Ken” Geiger's, “Sonny” Mummert's, “Josie” Gladfelter’s, and “Earl” Bollinger's experience— if you're as successful as they were, we'll be satisfied. For next year's yearbook staff we will Mr. Strayer and his trusty camera—brother you'll need him! We bequeath Pauline Crawford's ability to be engaged to one guy and go with all the others to any eleventh grader who wants it. We will Bill Miller's car to Sally Dolhcimer so she doesn't need to walk to East Berlin to see Jacque. To Mr. Ward we will a new band member for each of the empty chairs the Seniors left behind. We graciously leave to Jacque Hoffman all the address books and dates that once belonged to the Senior Boys. Wc will Babe Murray's glittering personality to Joann McClure—she needs it. To Hazel Wrights we will Shirley Burgard's skating ability, now she can really go after her man. To Shirley G x)dwin we will a new pair of glasses so she won't shoot her cat next hunting season and think it's a rabbit. To the junior class we will Leona “Baby Dumpling” Ruppcrt's techniques. They have some who can use them. We will Wayne Lau's crew cut to “Toni” Steimer, so he can imitate his hero— Mr. Taylor. We bequeath Don (Lover Boy) Hinkle's ability of necking during school hours to anyone who can get away with it. Thus having disposed of all our possessions, worldly and otherwise; we, the Senior Class, hereby sign and seal this the 1952 Will. 40 (Signed) Shirley Eberly, Class President GAY MOMENTS 41 JUNIORS Front row. left to right—Fern Deardorff.

Under the watchful eyes of Mr. Schade and Mrs. Sheely as advisors, a most prosperous year has been enjoyed. Many skaters whirled around the floor at our skating party, held early in March; Easter- time saw us industriously selling cards to fit the season; but our big job was the junior senior prom. Due to our hard work- ing committees, girls in their flowing gowns and boys in their newly pressed suits spent a most enjoyable and beautiful evening at the “May Blossom Ball”, the title selected for the prom through a contest held by the junior class. As was discovered in the two scluxil plays and the junior assembly program, this class of “53” has several promising actors and actresses. Yes sir, we really went places. Keep your eye out for us!! 42 JUNIORS Our junior class was a very industrious class hut they had time for play too. as we see in the pictures on this page. Here we see them celebrating with a bang! There was lots of gaiety at their party and many dreamy looks were exchanged at the “Winter Prom”. During the fall semester last year, our junior classmen exercised their rights as citizens of the school and duly elected their leaders. Election time here at school, as in the nation, is an exciting time! People to he nominated, ballots to be cast and counted, and the winners to be announced. Our junior class is very proud of the winners! They have helped to weld the students into a compact unit capable of tackling any task. Therefore we announce with pride those we have chosen to lead us: Robkrt Boykr ........................President Darwin Dissinger ...............Vice-President Betty Fourham .......................Secretary Janet Spahr .........................Treasurer 43 SOPHOMORES First year in senior high! We “silly sophomores are getting closer to the day when that treasured diploma will he in our hands. Already associated with many senior high activities, the class helped with the presentation of our school plays and the winter prom. Remember the frolicking, fun-packed as' sembly we staged? Putting on this show re' quired numerous hours of the students time but we loved every minute of it. If you are the possessor of a sweet tooth (and what student isn't), you bought some of the homemade candy whipped up by the sopho- mores for their candy sale. Our advisors: Mrs. Mickley, Mr. Ward.

We enjoyed a most prosperous year. Silly Sophomores, we were called when we became members of the Senior High Tribe. We may have been silly, but we certainly had fun at the Winter Prom and Hallowe'en Party. We all had a hand in candy sales and helped the Juniors and Seniors sell cards to increase our budget.

Money is needed to carry out any activities that we might have planned for the future. Schemes were thought up to raise that necessary money. Serving as vice' president, secretary and treasurer are Ronald Stoner, Donna Berkheimcr, and Rudy Altland, respectively.

Student Council Let's ask ourselves a few pertinent ques- tions! Why don't we have hallway col- lisions during the passing of classes? Who is responsible for giving permission lor skat- ing parties, dances, etc.? Who planned the Hallowe'en party? Who shouldered the burden of scheduling intramural basketball games? It all adds up to a few of the many duties of the active members of the Student Council and the very efficient committee chairmen. The council is divided into four major committees: financial, social-program, athletic, and safety with Shirley Eberly, Darwin Dissinger, Wayne Mummert, and Naomi Miller serving as chairmen. As the backbone of our student govern- ment, the council provides an opportunity for students to express any reasonable com- plaints that may arise during the school year.

Which organization at East Berlin High collects awards and prizes with the regularity of bees collecting honey? The Senior Band, naturally, with the high'Stepping majorettes leading it! We are justly proud of our band, which contains the cream of the crop of our student musicians. The senior band performs a number of inv portant functions during the school year. School assemblies, plays, basketball games, and above all, the Music Festival would not be complete without the highly entertaining tunes rendered by this foremost musical organization. In the gtxxl old summertime, our pride and joy can frequently be found adding the crowning touch to local picnics, and other gatherings. The entire community greatly appreciates the musical presentations of our hard-working Senior Band! Members of the Band arc, CLARINETS: Janet Page. Carol Ostrom. Janet Smith. Louise Boyer.

Or perhaps you feel you have the makings of a future Fritz Kreisler! Or maybe you even have aspirations to become a Tommy Dorsey in your own right! Why not? Your first step down the long road to success would be to enroll in the Junior Band or the Jazz Band. Here you may learn not only how to do solo parts, but what is also important, how to blend your instrument in with the other band members. These organizations practice frequently and with clock'like regularity. You will receive all the instruction that you can properly handle and will in time become adept at reading music! When you reach this point, you will be eligible for the senior organization! Junior Band members arc: CLARINETS: Kristina Ostrom. Mary Altland. Lorma Murphy. Donald Roscnivig, Phyllis Schmuch.

We were thrilled to the core to see our name listed and un- consciously we were planning pages, doing write-ups, and seeing our picture in the finished book! The first meetings in Room 2 were sort of on the dreamy side as we paged through countless other yearbooks, which we criticised quite freely. Ours was going to be the best ever turned out in East Berlin High School! We were positive of it then, and if it is possible we arc even more certain of it now. We worried over a theme, argued over the cover, and almost had a knockdown-drag-out fight over the contents. Gradually we realised what a fine Editor-in-Chief we had in Shirley Ebcrly. Even though we freely admit days of pure loafing, we cannot recall the time when Shirley wasn't worried about something or other. Then later on when it was necessary we found some real writing talent in Betty Fourhman. Although we dispensed with most of the art work, the few things that we wisely decided on were most capably drawn for us by our Art Editor Carol Ostrom. The rest of our editorial staff all contributed their best to help make our yearbook just as wonderful as we dreamed it would be! Kathie Miller as our business manager proved herself to be just what we needed to in- spire the business staff. We began to realize what a tremendous task publishing a yearbook could be! But one of our best pieces of luck was to have an advisor like Mr. Straycr. If possible, he was even more enthusiastic and willing to work than we. Armed with his trusty Graflex camera, he took over a hundred pictures to be used in our book, developed, and made almost daily trips to our engraver. As we now look back on this period of our lives, we realize what a wonderful experience we were privileged to be a part of, and as we are now paging through our Reflector we are very proud!

Why don't you collide with a bicycle or why doesn't the big, yellow train of buses take a piece of your car fender along when driving the alley to school? All these questions can be answered by taking your crystal ball and looking into the activities of the Safety Club. Through association with the safety pa- trol and safety committee of the stu- dent council, we have been successful in the saving of the pupils hides. One of the newer clubs, it has a very prom' ising future.

Wouldn't we all like to be in on that! This club smoothly runs under the adept hand of Mr. Fissel, and always has its eye open for ways of extending their generous hearts to those in need.

High- lighted by a heroine who disguises herself as a prince, a hero who masquerades as a cook, a birddoving romco, a designing social climber and a butler who considers himself a lady-killer! This engaging comedy was presented by the Junior and Senior Classes. Wisecracking Terry Dono- van is mightily smitten with the fairy- princess charms of Carol Halliday. Un- fortunately for young Mr. Donovan, Carol is intrigued by the idea of marrying hand- some Prince Rudolph of Zenobia, who has fallen in love with her picture while abroad. When Carol learns the Prince is coming to see her, she orders Terry out of the house. However Carol's cousin Joan, who is secretly in love with Terry, undertakes to help him by smuggling him into the house dressed as the new cook. Plenty of funny situations occur through the blunders of Terry as he tries to ward off the sly carrcsscs of Winks, the sentimental butler. Joan disguises herself as a flirtatious prince with the aid and blessing of Mr. Halliday's mother, affectionately known as Granny. The Prince promptly proceeds to disgrace himself by flirting with all available females, the most available being the dead-pan daughter of Mrs. Lovejoy, an outrageous social schemer. The idea behind this plot is to have the imitation prince behave so badly that Carol will be only too glad to return to the open arms of the cver-faithful Terry. CAST Terry Donovan Joan ..........

AltldwL Playing for the first time under the direction of Mr. Ellis Diviney. the soccer team as represented in the Adams County Scholastic Soccer League was building character this season. The team, composed mostly of Seniors, showed the fight that was lacking in previous years but was greatly handicapped by lack of experience. Our Senior classmates held down eight of the eleven team positions. Zeigler, high scorer, booted home four goals during the season. Captain Wayne Mummcrt, who was under the goal for the first time, was given ample protection by fullbacks Bollinger and Lau. Performing at halfback were: Gruver, Gladfclter, and Jacquc Hoffman. The line consisted of: Zeigler, Geiger, Leas. Hinkle, and Bechtel. 70 RECORDS EAST BERLIN 0 DILLSBURG 4 The East Merlin Indians o| cncd their season by journey ini? to Dillsburg. East Merlin, green and inexperienced, showed surpris- ing skill and gave a creditable performance. However they were no match for the powerful kicking ability of Dillsburg, who tallied lour times with apparent case. East Merlin rallied and Zeigler scored the lone Indian goal. EAST BERLIN 0 NORTH YORK 8 The Orange and Mlack trampled the Cherry and Steel into submission as East Merlin played its heart out. With the taste of defeat still fresh the Indians struggled desperately against North York’s superior skill. Unable to score a single goal, they were definitely set back again into the defeat column. However, they were still on the warpath! EAST BERLIN 0 DOVER 1 As the score indicates, this was a very close contest with both teams playing at a fever pitch. Dover having an experienced team had many advantages over our boys. Gladfclter brought fans to their feet as he kicked the ball toward the goal, but was stopped by Staub of Dover. The Indians play definitely improved by experience. EAST BERLIN 1 SPRING GROVE 0 The Indians caught the winning fever and chalked up their first victory of the season under the guidance of new coach Diviney. A penalty kicked by Zeigler in the last two minutes of the game was the only score in the contest. EAST BERLIN 0 MANCHESTER 0 The East Merlin Indians and the Manchester High boys proved their defensive skill to each other by struggling through four scoreless periods. Hinkle attempting to make a goal found him- self thwarted. Moth teams threatened several times, but were unable to tally. EAST BERLIN 0 DILLSBURG 1 Outclassed in kicking power, which seems to Ik- the story throughout the season, our boys bowed to Dillsburg 1-0. However, as the score indicates, we were not outclassed as we were in our previous contest with this foe. Despite the fact that we had won but one game, the Indians battled Dillsburg to a virtual standstill. EAST BERLIN 0 NORTH YORK 1 North York played host to the Indians, although far from the perfect host as they sent their guests home defeated. After three | criods of scoreless competition, Jack Gladfeltcr booted home a penalty kick to provide the North Yorkers with their winning tally. The Indians are almost ready to make a jwace treaty. EAST BERLIN 2 DOVER 2 Dover scored early when Gross kicked a goal with only 45 seconds gone in the first period. Moth teams battled fruitlessly afterward until the Indians suddenly found the range for goals by Stimer and Hinkle midway in the fourth period. In the last few seconds Snyder of Dover hit the mark from directly in front of the goal which ended the game in a deadlock. EAST BERLIN I SPRING GROVE 2 Tallying both golds in the opening period, Spring Grove edged past East Berlin 2 to 1. Smith and Gcntzler hit the net for what later proved to be the winners only scores of the game. East Merlin, held scoreless during the first two iwriods, cut into the scoring column when Zeigler tallied in the third quarter. EAST BERLIN 0 MANCHESTER 1 lu the final game of East Merlin’s 1951 Soccer season, a goal by Rcntzcl, Manchester's left fullback, on a penalty kick in the second period provided them with a 1 to 0 victory. Thus we ended our season with one victory, seven losses, and two tics. 71 VARSITY BASKETBALL Coach Diviney, Captam Lau R. Airland. R. Hoar, Mr. Taylor It's all over but the shouting as the Conewago Indians of East Berlin returned from their District 3 Class C raid with the first district title in the history of the school. But to make the gold glitter even more, it marked the first time since the Adams County League came into existence that one of its quintets had managed to get past an opening round opponent in the playoffs. Coach Ellis Diviney's Tribe captured the circuit crown and the playolf championship before trying their luck in the district playoffs. During the 1951-52 campaign, the Tribe racked up 18 victories while losing only five. For their league work, the Indians compiled a record of 11 and one. In the initial playoff setto. East Berlin worked over a tough Newport quintet to the tune of 52-46 at Stcclton. From there the Indians took their semi-final game by defeating a good Hummclstown team in a real hair-raiser, 61-60 at Carlisle. Then Friday night at Red Lion their relentless surge was climaxed when they scampered over East Hcmpficld, 56-49, to bring home the bacon on a golden platter. 72 RECORDS Harvey Stimer, Glenn Gr.uvcr Basketball Waltz EAST BERLIN 50 LITTLESTOWN 13 With high hopes for another successful season the In- dians coasted to a 50' 13 win over Littlcstown in the season opener. Paced by Mummert the Cherry and Steel built up a fourteen point lead at half-time and were never headed. EAST BERLIN 47 YORK SPRINGS 45 A stubborn York Springs quintet applied a baffling zone defense and this coupled with East Berlin's inability to score kept the game close for three quarters. The lid came oft in the fourth quarter, however, as the Indians racked up several points to put the game on ice. EAST BERLIN 72 BIGLERVILLE 59 Registering their third consecutive Adams County League victory. East Berlin stopped and overcame the driving style of the Bigler ville hoopsters. Paced by Mum- mert with 24 points, the Indians overcame the Hoopsters with a vicious last half rally. EAST BERLIN 41 BOILING SPRINGS 43 Ken Geiger's field goal in the last minute of overtime gave East Berlin a victory over Boiling Springs in a thrill- ing contest on the winner's floor. Mummert again sparked the Indians attack while rangy Dromgold had 19 of the loser's points. EAST BERLIN 72 LITTLESTOWN 31 With Mummert pacing a brilliant rally, the Indians drubbed Littlcstown 72-31 winning their seventh con- secutive league game. The scoring was evenly distributed as each player on the varsity scored at least one field goal. EAST BERLIN 79 YORK SPRINGS 36 The dazzling defensive play of Don Hinkle and the 16 points contribution of Jacquc Hoffman led the Indians to a 79-36 win over York Springs on the home floor. Wayne Mummert might have set a new league scoring record, but because or four fouls in the third quarter, he had to proceed cautiously. EAST BERLIN 92 NEWVILLE 57 Enjoying its greatest display of scoring strength of the season in the second quarter, the Indians leaped away to a 1 5-0 lead before the visitors were able to score and the outcome was never in doubt. EAST BERLIN 57 NEW OXFORD 53 East Berlin defeated New Oxford 57-53 in one of the most thrilling games of the season. A large crowd, the majority of which were East Berlin fans sat stunned as New Oxford controlled the lead in two quarters. Later Mummert insured victory by rallying 28 points. 73 BASKETBALL EAST BERLIN 42 BOILING SPRINGS 39 In another c!ose affair, the Indians hardy outlasted the Bubblers to cop a 42-39 verdict. The losers held a 21 to 20 margin at intermission, but folded in the final two stanzas. Mummert led the winning attack with a total of 24 points, while Wise potted 11 for the losers. EAST BERLIN 52 BIGLKRYTLLE 46 The unbeaten Indians chalked up their ninth consecutive win over the Biglervillc Canners in a thrilling game on the opponents floor. The first half was a rugged affair with the Canners leading 24-22. However, the Indians went on the warpath in the second half as Geiger chalked up 1? points. EAST BERLIN 59 NEW VILLE 39 The East Berlin League cagcrs chalked up their 11th consecutive win of the season by smothering the Bulb dogs 59-39. Sparked by Wayne Lau and Wayne Mum- mert the Indians led an explosive second quarter offensive to completely dominate the game. • EAST BERLIN 48 NEW OXFORD 52 Outplayed in the final period. East Berlin Champions dropped a 52-48 decision to New Oxford. Leading by 11 points going into the last quarter.

EAST BERLIN 52 NEWPORT 46 Coach Diviney's lads took the lead early in the first period and maintained it throughout. Leading the Indians, Lau and Mummert combined their efforts in the second period to score 14 of East Berlin's 16 points. This victory moved East Berlin into the district semi-finals and also handed Newport its first setback in 23 starts. EAST BERLIN 61 HUMMELSTOWN 60 Ken Geiger’s foul shot in an overtime period gave East Berlin its Class C semi-final victory over Hummclstown. Both quintets dropped in a trio of field goals in the fifth period, and just as the contest appeared to be going into another extra period, Geiger was fouled. He sank the toss and sent the Indians into the district finals. EAST BERLIN 52 JENKINSTOWN 67 East Berlin High's District 3 PIAA champions bowed out of the State Class C championship playoffs at the hands of a talented Jenkinstown High quintet by a 67 to 52 count in the Eastern Regional semi-finals.

East Berlin continued its scoring streak early in the third frame as Geiger, Hoffman, Hinkle and Mummert hit for buckets. When the blast was completed, the Indians led 34 to 25. The Lancaster County Quintet strove valiantly to re- cuperate but their drive ended with East Berlin still in the lead.

With only four letter-men returning this year, we arc looking forward to having the best team possible. Good luck you guys—we’re rooting for you. COACH The success of our teams this year is greatly due to the never-ending work of Coach Ellis Divincy. The coach came to East Berlin at the beginning of the 1951-52 school term. He immediately acquainted himself with the boys who would be trying out for the various teams and started to work with them. Behind the scenes he gave very valuable tips to his boys. The boys placed a lot of confidence in their coach and his decisions and awarded him by be- coming “Champs. They also proved that the know- ledge he passed on to them in baseball was the best because they came through with a very successful season. To Coach Diviney go our deepest thanks for “a job well done. Coach Diviney.

At noon we can always dance, play on the mats, or watch an intramural baskcthall game, and there’s bound to be some dangerous little character around to add gaiety to the party.
