i Published by the SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL Conewago Jointure East Berlin, Pennsylvania Page 2 Harmony The Melody Lingers . . . It’s half time in one of our most important basketball games, and everyone is tense and ex- cited. Proudly, we rise and sing our Alma Mater. As we come to the phrase Fond recollections fill our hearts with cheer,” we remember all the previous times we sang this song — at assemblies, basketball games, concerts, May Day programs,and graduation. Suddenly, we remember the many days our life has been filled with music. The days we sang with the Chorus, when we practiced and practiced for the Christmas Concert, the days we heard the leads for the operetta going through their parts, the Spring Concert, and learning snappy new songs. Remember the Christmas Music broadcast over the public address system at Christmas? How about those wonderful proms? And those hilarious sock-hops and dances for Hallowe’en, Sadie Hawkins’ Day, and Christmas? And those talent shows! Weren’t they the limit? It’s soon time for the game to begin again, and the band starts playing. Weren’t the football games the band attended fun? And all the prizes they won for their fancy stepping in Hallowe’en and Christmas parades! They certainly did their share for the Christmas and Spring Concerts. We stay for the dance after the game and have a real time dancing with the teachers, our old flames, and, at last, our very special sweethearts. Remember the noon-time dancing? The Christmas party? Our favorite party? Our favorite juke box number? Too soon, we’re marching up the aisle to Pomp and Circumstance,” and we’ll be a part of this high school music no more. But we can’t help thinking . . . All one’s life is music, if one touches the notes lightly, and in time.” Page 4 Around the • Eyes right!

OUR SCHOOL BOARD Have you wondered what is behind our school that keeps the school activities going? Well, it’s the school board, or have you already guessed? We are happy to take this opportunity to express our gratitude to these men who are so vitally essential to the well-being of the school. In 1948, five representatives from each district — East Berlin, Paradise, Abbotts- town, Reading and Conewago Independent — met at the first meeting of the Cone- wago Jointure. Every year since then, these members have always taken a keen interest in all matters pertaining to the student body and school property. The school board acts as a guide to the student body on any problem which may arise. Through their untiring efforts the school is always well supplied with all the necessary materials, and a competent faculty is served to keep things running smoothly. We are sure an example of cooperation as these men have displayed shows what a united effort can do to establish more adequate educational facilities for this year’s graduating class and for the future graduating classes of the Conewago Jointure School System. Page 14 s Mr. Elmer M. Gruver, B. S., M. Ed. Gettysburg College Temple University Supervising Principal FRIENDS TO ALL . . . The responsibility of making our school system run smoothly is placed upon Mr. Gruver, who manages it with ease. Mr. Gruver fills his day by helping students solve their personal and school problems. He is in charge of giving all types of progress tests, making out schedules fot all students, schedul- ing home rooms, announcing daily memorandums, and many other complicated elements demanded for a harmonious school organization. Mr. Schade, a teacher connected with the school system for several years, is capably handling the job of Administrative Assistant. His duties are similar to those of a principal; and these, plus teaching and advising the Student Council, keep him quite busy. However, with a firm hand and a cheery hello,” Mr. Schade keeps working to make East Berlin High School the best school system possible. Page 15 Mr. Schade, Administrative Aide, helps with problems in the office and classes. Mrs. Myers’s cheery smile greets us every morning. Mrs. Baker keeps all our accounts in tip-top order.

Toward higher goals, we will always strive. While we're away, oh, we’ll remember you, And dream of school days spent at East Berlin. Our colors are — white and royal blue, The white carnation is our flower true. Our diplomas we did earn, And as we're leaving, all our hearts do yearn. E. B. H. S., to thee we bid farewell, In joy and sorrow, you’ll in our memories dwell. The time is here when best of friends must part, Farewell E. B. H. S., to you good-bye.

At first, all 53 of us were lost. We no sooner found our places when the York Fair arrived. We had off a day and spent all our money and got sore feet! Upon our return, our class was victorious in the Student Council election. When the Magazine Campaign was fairly underway. Miss Miller ex- ploded a compound in Science class. At the annual Hallowe’en Party, Peg was sitting on a bale of straw in the corner when she suddenly spilled her cider; she gets so excited. Before Christmas was upon us, our civics class took a tour through the Gettysburg Court. It was the season for mistletoe, and at the Christmas party the boys didn’t miss any opportunities! A few of our boys sang in the operetta Tulip Time,” and The Adams County Music Festival was held in Gettysburg. It rained, so we went downtown and saw Singing in the Rain.’’ Bev was the May Queen’s attendant from our class on May Day, while Shirley Gibbs and Rudy Altland were King and Queen of the Junior High Prom. We all passed our finals! In 1952, we Silly Sophomores” elected Don Boyer, president; Lanny Oberlander, vice presi- dent; Joyce Danner, secretary; and Rudy Altland, treasurer. Again we spent all our money at the York Fair. We soon made up for that by present- ing the play, My Cousin from Sweden.” The boys took off to go hunting, and the girls slept all day! About that time, Newey hit the big time and made the State Band. Now he looks like Gen- eral MacArthur with all his medals! Santa Claus called and asked what we wanted for Christmas. Poor Buzz, they ganged up on him under the mistletoe. The Chorus members sang in the oper- etta, Gypsy Rover,” and took part in the Spring Concert along with the band. We passed our exams with flying colors and decided to celebrate at the Junior-Senior Prom. Bev and Sandy were the May Queen’s attendants on May Day. At the very beginning of our Junior year, the boys revolted and elected all girl officers! Joyce Danner, president; Sandy Miller, vice president; Sarah Lou Hull, Secretary; Shirley Gibbs, treasur- er; and Bev Jacobs, historian, did a swell job running our class smoothly. Between the excite- ment of receiving class jackets and rings, we managed to present an assembly and have mem- bers participate in Everybody’s Getting Married.” Witches were flying high near the end of October, and some invaded Sterl’s car. The Hallowe’en party was a big success after which Sam helped kidnap” Larry Grimm. The Chorus members made their debut on T. V. and presented the best Christmas concert and assembly ever. Grace was winning all the baking prizes in Home Ec, while we held pretzel sales and visited the Farm Show. Shortly after, a firecracker visited” Mr. Fissel’s room, someone crossed Mr. Watkins’ spark plugs, and a mysterious barrel full of stones kept in- vading Mr. Orner’s privacy. After the operetta, Meet Arizona,” came our sensational Prom, A Stairway to the Stars.” Our boys almost went over- board when a bird showed up in Mrs. Gideon’s Gilded Cage.” After Reflector presentations, exams, May Day, and report cards, we were it!” At last we were SENIORS! After riding a bicycle all summer, Dave need- ed some settling down. Don Boyer, president; Sandy Miller, vice president; Joyce Danner, secre- tary; Sam Oberlander, treasurer; and Bev Jacobs, historian, were the perfect leaders to help us settle down. The boys took off to go hunting and got enough detention to last them for a year. We helped in the play, The Inner Willy,” and had a Gay Nineties assembly. Kathy, Jo, Elaine, and Phil took a short bus ride and returned to face with detention. Dave and Delores were crowned King and Queen of Pumpkins” at the Hallowe’en Party, while Don and Sandy were Mr. and Mrs. Dogpatch” at the Sadie Hawkin’s Dance. Christmas was a busy season, with Darryl and Newey searching for presents” in Mrs. Garrett's closet. The Chorus sang on T. V. and helped the band present the annual Christmas Concert and assembly. As Seniors, we held a Mistletoe Ball and at our party opened the audi- torium for dancing. Shirl and Nance won a prize for art work, and we all took off a week for Christmas. We returned to a wonderful season of basketball with Sam, Buzz, Mac, and Swopie lead- ing our team to victory. Following basketball season, came the Adams County Band and Chorus Festival and the operetta, Chonita.” While the spring play was in progress, Mac, Bill, Newey, Qbie, and Satch were working to make our baseball team a success. We struggled through our exams and relaxed at the Junior-Senior Prom. Upon passing we all rejoiced, but many tears were shed at Commencement. After presentation of awards on May Day, each of us went out into the world to seek our own paths, with a vow on our lips that we’d always remain loyal to East Berlin High School. Hallowe’en King and Queen Win the Pumpkin Page 40 • Shake! Rattle! and Roll! • While standing on the bridge one day • Those don’t make Sammy run!” Where did you get that hat, Sandy? My Future Just Passed . . . Gee! you'd never know it, but it’s years since we’ve graduated! Let’s take a trip and see where our classmates are? It was a great thought! Excited, we packed our duds and do-flips and made for the door! Our first stop was in Cleveland, Ohio, where we were in time for the game between the Indians and the Giants. Ralph McGregor, our great high school athlete, was the coach for the Indians; and Bill Miller was coaching the Giants. That evening we received an invitation to the wedding of Sandra Miller and Harold Cooley. At the wedding wc found that the Rev. Ronald Stoner performed the ceremony while Phillip Reichart was best man and Marie Loper was the bridesmaid. Grace Nickey played the wedding marches. After finding our way to Nashville, Tennessee, we sat in on a hillbilly show given by the Moonshiner’’ starring Delores Haar as our lovesick hillbilly gal, and Sterling Showers as her lover boy. They sang Shake, Rattle, and Roll. We stopped at a Ford Garage for some gas and, naturally, the garageman was Carl Messinger. He inform- ed us that he and Jackie Lerew are in the Ford business. Next we headed for Chicago. While passing an airport we waved at our dear friend, David Hoover, who is a pilot there. We were also just in time for the Chicago Fair; and as we were looking around there, w'e saw that our star farmer from Pennsylvania, Donald Boyer, had many exhibits entered, among which was the tallest corn and some of the best dairy cows from coast to coast. Coming back from Chicago we passed a golf course and a sign that read Crawford vs Eisenhower.” We stop- ped and had a chat with Ken, and he told us that Wayne King was in California taking violin lessons from Jack Benny. Also that Mrs. Curvin Wilt, formerly Shirley Gibbs, and her friend, Nancy Gruver, are in the fruit-growing busi- ness there. Enroute to Detroit, Michigan, we passed a sign that said: ’Hanna’s Home for Bachelor’s, just one mile ahead.” We were curious about this, and we stopped when we arrived there. After investigation, we found that Rebecca Miller was the owner and had as her handy-men, Marlin Newcomer and Lanny Oberlander. Rebecca also had Mary Wagner employed as her nurse. We were informed that there was going to be a birthday party that night for Re- becca and Marlin because their birthdays are on the same day, the next day. Wc didn’t stay for the festivities be- cause we had to move on to New York City. Here we attended a concert. Daryl Straley came out singing Madame Butterfly, and the next thing we saw' was Katy Ruppert doing the hula-hula to the music of B1 ue Hawaii. Another feature was Ray Resh playing his trom- bone while Phyllis Elicker, Joann King, and Shirley Ruppert sang and danced to the tune of The Sidewalks of New York.” Finding a few free moments, we went shopping and purchased a dress designed by Mrs. Darwin Dissinger, formerly Eileen Stimer, and modeled by Louise Wallace. Our first stop in good old Pennsylvania was at Scranton. Here Elaine Laird is a medical secretary to a veteri- narian. Also living happily there with their families are M-s. King Westerhold and Mrs. John Auchey, formerly Peggy Nickey and Beverly Jacobs. Coming through Hirrisburg, we found there was going to be some kind of an election. Upon gazing at the ballot, Joyce Danner was running for Ambassador to Russia, with Sarah Lou Hull as her personal secretary. We stopped briefly in York and discovered that LeDane Swope, who was a new member of our class in our senior year is now an accountant for Dutch Tea Pots. As we journey on to East Berlin, we passed a house and heard something strange. After investigation, it was just the usual fight between Betty Lauchman and her husband. Girls! Never burn a meal for your husband! All in all, it was a wonderful trip, and we enjoyed ourselves very much. Perhaps ten years from now we’ll take another! Who knows? Mac, Sam, Buzz, Doc, and Bill! And I hereby declare, Siberia Look out, your poor machine! for those who don’t participate! Rags to Riches” Donald Boyer wills the Junior girls a secretary, so they can keep their dates straight.

Marie Loper wills her long hair to JoAnn Hoke.

Now Reds Was sagt?” Rebecca Miller wills a few of the Sophomore girls a car. Sandra Miller wills JoAnn Hoke all her full skirts. Now JoAnn, you can use those tight jobs as slips. William Miller wills Bob” Roland the sum of $2.00, because he doesn’t have any sense left. Marlin Newcomer wills his ability to play a trombone to anyone who can use it. Grace Nickey wills Mr. Fissel a helicopter to make his journey over East Berlin each day! Peggy Nickey wills Onita Kifer an economy size bottle of peroxide. Go ahead, use it!

To our Faculty in general, we will all our amazing knowledge and startling information! To the school we will tons of coal, buckets of hot air, or anything else capable of producing a little heat. To the Juniors we will our books along with our brains. Good luck, you might need them. To the Sophomores and Freshmen, we leave our everlasting courage and bright hope. Dig them craz-z-zy can . . .

Under the watchful eyes of our advisers, Mrs. Elgin and Mr. Fissel, we are having a very successful year. Our class has five members on the Student Council, and it is good to know that we are well represented in the school. In October, we found some of our classmates starring in the play, The Inner Willy.” Throughout the year, we held various skating parties, and other activities were also in the schedule. Needless to say, the Junior Prom was a successful undertaking, and every- one had lots of fun. Perhaps one of the major highlights of the year was the moment our class rings and jackets arrived. We were proud and happy to show) them off. The year was filled with frolicking and fun, but we also developed serious moments and worked hard in our activities and studies. Now we are looking for- ward to our Senior year when we can go out into the world as better citizens. Class officers and advisers discuss the Prom.

Getting acquaint- ed with the rules and regulations and preparing ourselves for our senior high school days. As Sophomores, we’re in! As Juniors and Seniors, who knows? Those are goals for which we are striving. This year, as Sophomores, we took part in all the social activities. We also had representatives on the Student Council and Yearbook Staff, plus members in the band and chorus. In spite of all the social activities, we sometimes developed a serious mood. Many of our members took part in the Christmas Concert and the operetta. With the guidance of our class advisers, Miss Helen Brown and Mr. Paul Orner, and with the help of our class officers, we are slowly but surely achieving our goal to become Seniors. We are eventually reaching that dav when we shall leave this school to enter another school more demanding and more exacting. No problems here! . . .

With representatives elected from the upper two-fifths of the classes, the Stu- dent Council was ready for business. An all-out campaign for the election of offi- cers was launched, and after the soap- box assembly program elections were held and the school governing body was com- plete. The first item of business on the agenda was to divide the council mem- bers into the four standing committees. The social-financial committee, with the approval of Mr. Gruver, approved many social functions for the clubs and classes and many projects for raising money. The safety committee was in charge of the safety and hall patrols. The athletic com- mittee took care of the athletic activities and intramural contests during noon hour. The recreation committee looked after and planned all recreational activi- ties involving the student body. All these committees worked hard and successfully helped make the school year a happy one. The Student Council as a group, under the leadership of its advisers. Miss Pres- sler and Mr. Schade, gave the student body a sense of self-government. It was indeed a privilege to be chosen by class- mates to represent them in the student government of the school. After all the work was completed for the year, the members of the Student Council and their friends attended a spring outing and had a day of fun and relaxation. SOCIAL - FINANCIAL — Seated: E.

Along with the usual Patrons List and a special new peanut sale, these were a few of the methods employed for raising money for the Reflector. This year the work was completed in record time. With a mid-January deadline, the staff members put their shoulders to the wheel. The artists made sketch after sketch, staffers wrote and re-wrote articles, patrons were contacted, the photographers made like snapping turtles and took picture after picture, typists prepared copy in final form, and all the while Miss Pressler, the capable adviser, lent help here and there and suggested useful corrections. Finally, the finished book took form and entered the printer’s door right on schedule! The staff members did their best, and sincerely hope the readers enjoy the book as much as they enjoyed putting it together. BUSINESS: (1. to r.) Joyce Dan- ner, Bob Roland, Dot Myers.

The Tri-Hi-Y club, advised by Miss Miller, made Thanksgiving favors for the children at the Hoffman Orphanage and filled Red Cross boxes. In October, eight girls and Miss Miller attended the Older Girls’ Conference at Hershey. A Tri-Hi-Y meeting was held in the auditorium for the parents and others of the community to attend. Mr. Houck and Mr. Townsend were the speakers for the evening. Has anyone seen those cute plants in painted tin cans in the class rooms at school or heard about gathering clothes for a needy family, and even sponsoring a pretzel sale at noon? Well, it is the Tricky Teens—that very active club under the leadership of Mrs. Garrett. This club and the Junior Hi-Y sponsored the annual Junior Prom. The Teen Talkers, a seventh grade club, is a new organization started in the school and is under the leadership of Miss Miller. Their main project was send- ing Christmas gifts to Flat Creek, Kentucky. The Tri-Hi-Y clubs proved themselves worthwhile organizations in East Berlin High School, and it is hoped that they will continue to support the high standards for which they were created.

In the fall of 1945, the Hi-Y clubs of East Berlin High School were started with 120 present at the first meeting. At this meeting the name Kanawaga was proposed as a suitable name for the club. It was the Indian name for Conewago, and it means cannot wade it.” The Hi-Y clubs are still functioning under this name; however, now there are three Hi-Y clubs. Each year at Christmas the Hi-Y clubs team up with the Tri-Hi-Y clubs to make gift baskets for children who are in orphanages and other simi- liar institutions. The Hi-Y clubs send money to help support Father Flanagan’s Boys Town each year. They also help the janitor keep our school campus clean and paper free. If they find a needy family in the Jointure they try to fulfill its needs. Each year the Hi-Y clubs attend the annual Older Boys' Conference, which was held in Lan- caster this year. The Kanawaga Hi-Y delegation took high honors at this conference. Lanny Ober- lander was elected president of the South Central District, the Hi-Y clubs’ basketball team won the South Central District Hi-Y clubs’ basketball championship, and the East Berlin delegation got the banner for the most delegates present.

A. on the bulletin board in the hall? This and a display in the trophy case signified National F. H. A. week. It took a lot of work, but it was worth it. The members sponsored devotions for a week, and attended the region C Convention at Cressona. Many won prizes for handiwork entered in the county fairs. Grace Nickey, F. H. A. president, won the annual Apple Dessert contest, and another good baker won the Cherry Pie contest. This year members initiated the new members and installed new officers at the Alumnae Party on November 19. The annual Hallowe’en Party was held with the F. F. A.; and near the end of the year, the Mother-Daughter banquet was held. To raise money for these worthwhile projects, F. H. A. members held peanut sales and kept the students well-fed on barbecues. Several members have worked for degrees this year, and many have attained them. As a group, members have taken many field trips. Altogether, it’s been a very profitable and success- ful year.

Reports from the agriculture department point to a generally successful year. In the Home Project phase of the program, about $14,000 in gross receipts were reported. Projects includ- ed beef steers, pigs, corn, wheat, dairy heifers, strawberries, and even turnips. Scholastically, each student rated high in his respective class. Donald Boyer, the club’s president, won the Key- stone Farmer award. The Future Farmers organization enjoyed an active and productive year. Some of the activi- ties engaged included: the Area Officers Training School at Chambersburg, the Area Judg- ing Contest at Biglerville, the Area Banquet at New Oxford, the State F. F. A. Convention at Penn State University, the Area Picnic at Caledonia State Park, and the Area Jamboree at Gettysburg. In order to finance such an ambitious program, it was necessary to hold a number of money- making activities. These included two cider sales, a seed-selling campaign, and a roller skating improvement project. Future plans for the F. F. A. include a parent-son banquet, and a community party.

Each year ex- pected to do something of this type for Christ- mas, the council is committed to making two hundred dozen cookies and one hundred pop-corn balls for veterans’ institutions. In addition, each year an annual membership drive is conducted; and this year’s drive far exceeded previous totals, with the homeroom of Mr. Fissel and Miss Miller having one hundred per cent enrollment. People helping one another” is the theme for the present year. Today, the organization has fill- ed quite a few boxes containing useful personal articles. These will be distributed to needy people through the Gettysburg office. A conference to plan the year’s work for the Junior Red Cross was held in Gettysburg on November 29; and four members from East Berlin, with the council’s adviser, Mrs. Elizabeth Garrett, attended.

The East Berlin Junior and Senior bands practice regularly under the watch- ful eye of Mr. Earl Ward, who offers any help and instruction he can. Practically any period of the day you can hear bars of music coming from the band room. Any student in the high school has the same privilege of becoming a band mem- ber if he or she is at all interested in music. The goal of these ambitious pupils is the Senior band. After long hours of practicing, many of the Junior band students become mem- bers of the Senior band. At last they’re the ones who do the fancy stepping in the Hallowe’en and Christmas parades. Leading them through their steps is the head majorette, Eileen Stimer. In front of her is East Berlin’s youngest major, Fred Baker. Following Eileen, in two rows, are Dorothy Myers and Mary Shell- enberger, Shelby Smith and Linda Shell- enberger, respectively. Besides the parades, the band partici- pates in the Christmas Concert, the An- nual Spring Concert, the Adams County Band Festival, and the State Band Festi- val in which only the best band mem- bers are allowed to take part. The band also received an invitation to attend a football game at Gettysburg College. With rewards like these, no one ever re- grets the work they do to make the bands successful.

Under the direction of Miss Betty Weisenfluh, the high school choruses were very busy this year. The Junior Chorus was unable to present a program, but they practiced earnestly in the hopes that they would qualify for Senior Chorus. After long hours of practice, the Senior Chorus pre- sented a half-hour program on the Harrisburg tele- vision network. They also sang in the Christmas Con- cert and assembly. Special features of these Christmas programs were solos by Richard Maeby, Beverly Jacobs, and Carl Messinger. A duet consisted of Sarah Lou Hull and Ralph McGregor, who, along with Joyce Danner, Sandra Miller, Louise Wallace, Bob Jacobs, Carl Mes- singer, and Bill Miller, comprised the octet. After a short rest following the Christmas music, the chorus members began work on the operetta, Chonita.” New talents were discovered, and many laughs were exchanged over the various costumes. With hours of extra practice and special rehearsals for the leads, the operetta went off smoothly and was a big success. Snappy new songs were heard at the Spring Con- cert, and several members sang in the Adams County Music Festival. After a year of hard work, the chorus- es relaxed a little. On May Day, however, the Senior members received a pin for their efforts. It was worth it. Page 70 GIRLS’ CHORUS First Row: N. Bauhiitz, S. Berk- heimer, B. Gemmill, K. Ruppert, G. Eyster, N.

Since our athletic field was be- ing repaired we used the Abbottstown baseball field. This was ready to use only two days before our opening game. We dropped our opening exhibition game to York Springs by a score of 9 to 5. A re- turn game a week later was won by York Springs 5 to 3 which showed the im- provement of our team. Our team was composed of many inexperienced players, but as the season progressed our boys showed much improvement. When the season ended the 1954 baseball team end- ed without a victory. With only one member of the squad graduating, the team members are look- ing forward to a very successful season in 1955. With several players playing summer ball our 1955 team should shape into dia- mond experts, and when warm weather comes again we shall find the future stars hard at work.

Put your right foot in — take your left foot out! Out of the way gang, here come those boys with the educated feet. Yes, it's none other than the soccer team, drilling and drilling for what they hope to be a most successful season. Long hours of practice and training finally got the boys in shape, which was not easy as they soon found out. Although they constantly worked hard, they had lots of fun working together and were always anxiously waiting for that three-thirty bell to ring so they could get out to soccer practice. Although the first few games did not look too promising, the triumph over Manchester sparked the Indians on to a more victorious season. The high scorer of the season was Harold Cooley, followed by Nelson Groupe with Laverne Krall, Lanny Oberlander, George Spahr, Ralph McGregor, Harold Altland, and Paul Spangler each scoring a goal. Harold Altman’s season was cut short due to a frac- ture of a foot, and he was replaced by Bob Jacobs. With the nimble goalie, two powerful fullbacks, plunging halfbacks, and the crushing linemen all working to- gether as a team, the Indians finished with a better than average season record. The team members for the 1954-55 season were Harold Cooley, center; Laverne Krall, inside left; George Spahr, inside right; Nelson Groupe, right wing; Lanny Oberlander, left wing; Marlin Newcomer, center halfback; Bill Miller, left half- back; Bob Roland, right halfback; Ralph McGregor, right fullback; Larry Myers, left fullback; Harold Altman and Bob Jacobs, goalies. • Roland fakes one . • Bottom Left: The defense tightens! • Bottom Right: Anybody’s ball! • Top Left: Mac” racks up two points! • Top Right: Basketball or ballet??? • Guard ’m close!

BASKETBALL . . . Through the Hoop! Page 83 On the first day of November, Jake” Diviney called for his Indians,” and many basketball enthusiasts reported for coaching. The first few days were spent limbering up and getting into shape. Then came weeks of practice learning the plays and ball handling. Finally, the coach was ready to pick his team and assemble a quick and slick squad of Redmen. Lucky to have a strong backlog of last years top men and scoring newcomers like Groupe, the team got an extra break in having tall lads like Jacobs and Swope, the giant from Gettysburg. During the season, the consistent high scorers were Groupe, Oberlander, and McGregor. Al- though the other boys didn't touch up scores as high, they still displayed fighting spirit and show- ed fine team work. The team set a very good pace and faced their league games with confidence and enthusiasm. It was a great team and a very progressive season.

JUNIOR VARSITY East Berlin J-Vees Topple Littlestown 27-26!” It was the first news item of the year and a good one! Coach Eberly and East Berlin’s J-Vees opened their league season by defeating their first opponent in a close game. Needless to say, the team was quite proud of the victory — especially the coach, Mr. Eberly, who was experiencing his first game as a basketball coach. At the beginning of November, fifteen boys reported for practice. During the first few practice ses- sions, the candidates underwent exercises and ball-handling techniques. After a series of such practices, the coach selected the team members he felt best suited his requirements. From this point on, the team rehearsed play after play and carried practice sessions into the night. The work was hard, but the em- phasis was always on teamwork and co-operation. The J-Vee season was, by all standards, a successful one. General high scorers were Bill Haverstick and Chester Wolf, but all members of the team were in there fighting every moment of each game. Fair play and excellent teamwork made the J-Vees a fighting organization, and these qualities show themselves in the season’s record. Haverstick going up with a shot! Kroft scoring with a lay-up! Kneeling: S. Gibbs, J. Lerew, B. Spahr, S. Inskip, D. Haar, N. Baker D. Gemmill. Standing: D. Chronister, P. Hlicker, D. Myers, M. Shellenberger, Mrs. Shirley Fickes, Coach; L. Wirick, S. Ruppert, L. Altland, S. Miller, Manager. GIRLS’ VARSITY Under the. supervision of Mrs. Shirley Fickes and the two managers, Sandra Miller and Doris Chronister, the E st Berlin girls basketball team proved a success by co-operating as one group. This year the girls worked hard during the entire season to give their opponents stiff com- petition. East Berlin can be proud of its six forwards and eight guards who make up the var- sity squad. Following an intensive training schedule and using sharp teamwork during long practice hours, the girls were prepared for the fact action and stiff competition they met with during their games. The schedule for the year was the faculty, Alumni, Newville, Biglerville, New Ox- ford, Littlestown, Fairfield, York Springs, and Boiling Springs. Stop that dribble! Block that shot! WHO ARE WE . . . ?” Last year the school was presented with a new track erected on the school campus. The School Board purchased all new equip- ment for the field; and, with the help of students, the necessary things were done around the campus. Remember all the hard work the students did for the Track Meet at Biglerville? And it had to rain! rain! rain! Oh well, who knows what the future holds . . . JV Coach Mr. Eberly and Coach Diviney think it over . . . CONEWAGO INDIANS - Two in, one out!” Practice makes perfect!” Rain, rain, go away!
