Foreword The school year of 1955 56 proved to be one of outstanding contrasts, one of great assets and liabilities. On the credit side of the ledger, East Berlin High School of the Conewago Joint School System, its teachers, directors, alumni, and friends should be mighty proud of the accomplishments of many of its recent graduates. During the present school year our graduates held a class and student-body presidency at Elizabethtown College, head of the Student Christian Association at Miami University (Ohio), class officer and student councilman at George Washington University (D. C), president of the student body at Penn State Center (York), president of first year nurses (York). Scholastically, we have honor students at Penn State University, Kutztown and Millersville Teachers Colleges, Eliza- bethtown College, George Washington University, Miami University, Penn State Center, and York Hospital School of Nursing. Others have been highly lauded for their fine work in many offices. On the debit side of the scholastic ledger, our schools are equally famous (?). The directors are still at odds as to the future of the entire school program in this area. Many different combinations of school buildings have been proposed, but to no avail. Just what the future holds for the local area schools depends upon the actions of the local boards, the County Board, and the State Depart- ment, the last being the one from whom final ap- proval must come. Having formally announced my retirement from public school work in Pennsylvania, to become ef- Pa fective at the end of the present school year, I am sincerely and deeply interested in the future educa- tional facilities and needs in this area. The twenty-seven years spent here as head of the Borough and or Jointure Schools have been both pleasant and, at times, difficult, yes, even painful — pleasant in the memory of the High School’s rapid grow th, both in number of students and curricula, the many honors the graduates have achieved, the thousands of dollars worth of extra equipment do- nated by the student bodies, and the pleasant asso- ciations with so many parents and alumni, and es- pecially with the students and teachers; difficult, at times, because of the growing pains which always accompany rapid expansion, as from a four-teacher, eighty pupil high school to its present status (these, though difficult, brought many gratifying mo- ments); painful, because our school boards found it impossible to agree upon any logical building pro- gram which would perform the chief function of any sound educational philosophy, that of providing the best possible facilities and instruction for all school children, and at the same time be economical in construction, operation, and maintenance. Upon leaving the local school system, it is my sincere hope and prayer that the responsible authori- ties view the entire situation in the proper perspec- tive, and act for the good of all children, even though it may mean a seeming sacrifice of personal and or district pride. May there always be an EAST BERLIN HIGH! E. M. GRUVER, Supervising Principal ge 4 Mrs. Catherine Benner Girls’ Phy.

From Dut” — athletic ability — to the 7th graders who are all arms and legs. Louise Altland’s congeniality to all, so the round holes won t have square pegs. David Anderson wills an extra set of car keys to Mr. Case; and to Gloria Zeigler goes Nancy Baker’s ability to keep her hair in place. Marie Brantley gets Norma Baublitz’s way of being a lady in chorus. And the 8th and 9th grade boys — Shirley Berkheimer’s singing on pitch — so their singing will not floor us. Harry Cleaver wills Juanita Weaver the ability to stay out late and be wide awake the next day in school. Verdella's wardrobe of clothes to the 9th grade girls, who seem to have a clothing pool. The ability to be a good club leader, Jane leaves to the shy ones. E4 Ensor wills Richard Maeby a razor and blades, so he doesn’t have to buy some. Cheerleading ability is Eyster’s gift to the 8th and 9th grade girls. Drena wills some fuel oil so when there are dances no ones toes will curl. All-star Groupe bequeaths a suit of armor to the less aggressive boys. Peep” Albright gets Ruth Herman s knack of not making so much noise. From Sandy to Ruth Brodbeck — her guarding and her fouls in basketball. Bob Jacobs wants Barb Spahr to have a cloud so she’ll be seen when in the halls. For the teachers who check attendance in study hall Reds wills some secret police. Jack Leib wills brother Jim some quietness in class — Jim’s talking never seems to cease. Mr. Gray inherits Mike May’s Dad’s Thunderbird to match his clothes — so cool. Charlie Myers thinks Ronnie Reynolds needs another set of arms for all the girls he has at school. Dot Myers’ neat and quiet ways are needed by the noisy 10th grade girls. Page And Larry Myers wills the 9th grade boys some rockets so there’ll be an excuse for their always being in a whirl. Jolene Shafer gets some glue from Gerry Parr so she stays put and quiet. Millard Resh wills his detention from hunting to Carl Walters who has already tried it. Gloria Roland thinks Diane Lease should be a cheerleader — she’s sure able. And Wally wants some extra Dixies for those who miss the first table. Cynthia Miller is fortunate in receiving Martha’s behavior in study hall. Elaine Schmuck wills her personality to Bob Snelbaker so for help he doesn’t always call. Bill Shafer wants Dick Tosten to have the best of luck in hunting. Bobby Shellenberger gets Phaon’s Ag. class behavoir. In good conduct, Bob is wanting. Mary Shellenberger wills Flo Groupe some height pills so she’ll be seen as well as heard. And Bob Spaide will share his mechanic ability with other car bugs — spread the word! Mr. Heyser’s lucky ’cause Larry Spahr gets George’s Ag. ability. Darlene Spangler wants Charlotte Baker to dress and act with more gentility. Shirley Starner’s classroom behavior to brother Bill—enough said. Pat Bishop gets some peroxide from Anna Wantz specially for use on the head. Don Wildasin wants Brenda Miller to have closer friends in time to come. Lois Wirick wishes her naturally curly hair to all — aren’t we the lucky ones. Mary Witter wills Shirley Weaver some strength to lift her feet. And Chet Wolf’s michievous grin and ways to some who think they are so neat. To the teachers — peace and quiet, as we leave these stately halls. We know no class can match us, no matter how many start each fall. If we have caused some headaches, and we’re rather sure we did, please don’t hold a grudge against us — we’re just some mixed up kids. 22 Class Prophecy .... Tis the year of ’56 And our class is now well fixed. Some are nurses, teachers, such And have money, oh so much. If you happen to get sick — Toot, Sandy, or Dot — just take your pick. We have our share of car bugs, too, Dut, Reds, Jack, Charles, Don, and the two Bobs to name a few. Drena, Gerry, Darlene, Shirley and Elaine, Anna, Mary, and Lois we’ve contributed to the secretarial scene. To be successful is a worthy aim And Louise, Larry, Nancy, Mert, Ruth, Jake, and Phaon have sought that type of fame. Our practical girls — Norma, Martha, and Mary have chosen their life’s work — They’ll have beautiful homes, be good housewives, and never shirk. George and Chet are charmers, But they want to be good farmers. Harry and Edward are electricians, While Shirley and Gloria are lab. technicians. Mike and Millard wrant to be rangers, And protect the forests from fire and dangers. Jane is a teacher in an elementary grade, Gerry’s a beautician — she gets your hair just the right shade. Dave’s a carpenter and Bill Shafer s the plumber, They can finish a house in just one summer. Page 23 V 4 MR.

Well, here we are Juniors at last, and back at East Berlin High for another year. This is an important mile- stone along our way to our diploma. This is the year of class rings and jackets, probably the biggest things in our Junior year. Under the helpful guidance of Miss Brown and Mr. Heyser, class advisers, the Junior Class is having a very- good year. In the fall play, Cupid in Pigtails, three members of the class, Ronald Reynolds, Barbara Schim- mel and Geraldine Altland, had leading roles. Throughout the year we have held skating parties and pretzel sales as part of our activities. The class is well represented in the band, chorus, and yearbook staff, as well as the Student Council where Lloyd Boyer is the Vice-President. The class is also well represented in the various athletic teams. The class officers are: Carole Dolheimer, President; Lloyd Boyer, Vice-President; Donald Crawford, Secre- tary; Barbara Spahr, Treasurer; Barbara Schimmel, His- torian. JERRY LILLICH, vice president; CHARLES LENTZ, • president; SfilRLEY WEAVER, treasurer; CYNTHIA MILLER, historian; DORIS NITCHMAN, secretary; . MRS. GARRETT and MR. EPPLEY, advisers. Class History . . . Gee! Our first year in Senior High School and what a marvelous and thrilling time it was! As we look back over the years, we can recall how scared we were. With the guidance of our class advisors, Mrs. Elizabeth Garrett and Mr. John Eppley, and with the aid of our class officers, we had a successful year. Two new members, Maxine Gross, from Spring Grove, and Dale Meals, from Cumberland Valley, joined our class this year. Shirley Stone, William Bowen, and Pat Schmuck participated in the high school play, Cupid in Pigtails.” The Senior High students had their Christmas party to- gether in the auditorium, and it was the first time the Sophomores could be with the Juniors and Seniors. A few of us served on the refreshment committee for the party, and the students that study German sang songs for enter- tainment. We also had members taking an active part in basket- ball, soccer, and other sports, chorus, and band. We also had representatives on the Yearbook Staff and Student Council, and some took part in our Christmas Program and other social activities. Our class officers were: Charles Lentz, President; Jerry Lillich, Vice-President; Doris Nitchman, Secretary; Shirley Weaver, Treasurer; Cynthia Miller, Historian.

This year they used posters only as compared to the campaigning used last year, to influence the students to vote for them. Next on the agenda was to divide the representatives into four committees. The social-financial committee approves many social financial and functions for the clubs and classes; only money raising activities must be first approved by Mr. Gruver, while Mr. Schade approves or disapproves all other activities. The safety committee supervises the patrolling of the halls and also helps with fire drills. The athletic committee is in charge of athletic activities and intramural sports programs. The recreation committee plans the recreational activities having to do with the student body. The Student Council is under the leadership of Mr. Schade and Mrs. Elgin.

REFLECTOR - The Story of Your Book Planning the Reflector is a privilege and a pleasure for the whole staff. We have put in many hours of work, as well as many hours of fun to get it together. The Representatives were chosen from the Sophomore, Junior and Senior Classes. Of course, the most ambitious and capable are the ones chosen to make the Reflector a success. Did you ever think of how much work goes into making the Reflector a success? Our very capable editor has ironed out many wrinkles this year. The pictures were brought in, and it was finally decided which ones were to be put in. Of course there were the write-ups, too. Everything was finally brought in and put together into this very interest- ing Reflector. You’ll enjoy it, I’m sure.

TRI-HI-Y This year the Tri-Hi-Y and the Jr. Tri- Hi-Y really lived up to its purpose to create, maintain, and extend throughout the home, school, and community high standards of Christian character. The Tri-Hi-Y has had many speakers to talk to them on such subjects as law, lug- gage, and alcoholics. The service projects of the clubs included World Fellowship contribution, Thanks- giving favors for the children at the Hoff- man Orphanage, and Christmas Fruit Bas- kets for several shut-ins. The Tri-Hi-Y Clubs sponsored many dances including the Hallowe’en Dance, the All-Y Club Christmas Dance, and the Junior Hi Prom. However, the activities of the clubs would not have been possible without the cooperation and supervision of the club advisors, Miss Miller and Mrs. Garrett. The following girls were sent as repre- sentatives to the Older Girls Conference this year: Jane Kbersole, Sandra Inskip, Drena Gemmill, Anna Wantz, Mary Shel- Ienberger, Verdella DaRone, Lois Wirick and Shirley Berkheimer. Jane Ebersole, as Vice-President of the South Central Dis- trict of Y” work, chaired the business session.

Page 45 Apple Dessert Contest Smell those pies, baking so early in the morning! The aroma is coming from the Home Economics room, where four girls are trying different kinds of apple dessert recipes. We find Mr. Schade, with the members of the Home Economics class, doing the judging. How do we pick the best, since they all taste so good? After tasting and then tasting some more, congratulations go to Phyllis Spahr, winner, with delicious apple dumplings. Mary Witter, who baked a French Apple Pie, is the runner-up. Miss Brown’s Class % We find our ninth graders busy learning how to be- come better homemakers. These girls are given an oppor- tunity to take the vocational or the regular required course. These girls are really stepping ahead in learning extra cooking, studying child care, needle craft, interior decorations and making useful articles of clothing. They joined with the F. H. A. in going to spend a day at the Metropolitan Edison Co. During their study of child care, they went to a nursery in York. These girls are very fine waitresses, as they served at the F. F.

The roster, as of September, 1955, con- tained the names of thirty boys, with George Spahr, as president; Phaon Seifert, vice-president; Lloyd Boyer, secretary; Chester Wolf, treasurer; Laverne Emig, re- porter; Clair Benzel, sentinel; Robert Shel- lenberger, chaplain, and Mr. Stephen Hey- ser, as adviser. George Spahr was awarded the Keystone Farmer Degree, the highest agriculture honor for high school students in the state. Among our activities during the year were: attending the South Mountain Fair, where many o four members competed in judging contests. A Haaloween Party; State Farm Show, where seven of our mem- bers participated in the Rural Pageant; and a skating party. Five basketball games were played with neighboring F. F. A. teams, four of which were won. Two important events remain on our 1955-56 activities calendar — the Parent-Son Banquet, and our Annual Seed Selling Canjpaign. George Spahr, Phaon Seifert, Chester Wolf, Michael May, and Harry Cleaver will be missed, because of graduation, when the 1956-57 term begins.

An annual membership drive just before Christmas was combined with the col- lection of materials for overseas gift boxes and was creditably done by high school and elementary students. Meetings, held at no set time, were for the purpose of fulfilling commitments on service projects. Later on in the year we made writing folios, scrapbooks, and had students bring in cookies to send to hospitals. As members of the Adams County unit, our chapter attended the fall meeting at Biglerville and the spring meeting at New Oxford. Drena Gemmill, who is presi- dent of the county unit, presided at these meetings. Under the guidance of Mrs. Elizabeth Garrett, the Junior Red Cross has tried to lend a helping hand to persons who have needed it. MAGAZINE CAMPAIGN The magazine campaign has been very successful in our school this year. We all looked forward to it and before it started we were waiting to see who would be- come the highest salesmen. After the magazine campaign had ended, we found the highest salesmen to be: Hanna Roos, Martin Kunkel, and Richard Riggs. Top, left to right: Jerry Lillich, John Eshleman, Martin Kunkle, Richard Riggs, Hanna Roos, Louis Altland. Bottom, left to right: Garry Stambaugh, Harold Lau. Haven’t you often wondered why there haven’t been accidents near the school? Well, here is the answer: We are guarded by the Safety Patrol. Regardless of weather conditions, the Safety Patrol is always faithfully and efficiently on the job when we are going to and from school. The boys work hard during the school year looking over the teachers and students and are rewarded by being treated to a baseball game each year. The boys volunteer for this duty and choose a Captain and Lieutenant among themselves. This year the Captain is Craig Hoke and the Lieutenant is Laverne Wolf.

The club is ably advised by Mr. John Eppley and is guided through its activities by the officers, who are: Thomas Doherty, President; John Stoner, Vice-President; Gerald Krout, Librarian; and Charles Wallace, Attendant. The goal and purpose of the Conservation Club is to protect wild life and forestry. Among the projects are the making of a gun rack, a case for the collection of cartridges and shells, and a much needed magazine rack. The club also posts a bulletin board display. The outdoor activities planned are shooting matches, field trips, and social events. ifli HfrlB Igill BOOKMOBILE The Book Mobile visits all schools in Adams County with the exception of some high schools that have their own collection. They try to take care of every school’s special needs as well as reading for their own enjoyment. They come to our school once a month. They are on the road twice a week. They travel approximately 325 miles in one month. They are marking their tenth anniversary since the beginning of their service. The present Book Mobile has been serving the schools since the fall of 1954. The county library circulation figures show a marked increase from year to year, with our school reading the most books. It sure is a marvelous thing for our school and we look forward to its coming. Mrs. Sarah Bedford, Mrs. Edith Cressler. DRIVER EDUCATION Drivers Education is taught in two different courses: the class- room and behind the wheel course. The instructor, Mr. Gray, probably has jumpy nerves after a day of trying to teach the students how to drive. In the classroom, pupils have learned how to apply good sports- manship to their driving. Movies are also shown in class. Drivers Education’s purpose is to make safer and better drivers on the highways. It establishes firm, helpful habits and provides op- portunities to point out the bad habits of driving.

Our dance band was formed by Mr. Ward as a subject to be more re- laxing for the better members of the band. The music is popular and has more of a swing and more fun to play. We had a lot of fun playing at the Spring Concert and other engagements. Fifty people make up the Senior High Band, of which eighteen were selected to take part in the Annual Adams County Music Festival held at Gettysburg, Feb. 22, 1956. An out of school activity was the Hallowe’en Parade at York. Harold Altland, Jane Ebersole, Geraldine Eyster, Louise Altland, Lois Wirick, Sandy Inskip, LaVerne Krall and Millard Resh will be lost to next year’s band. Mary Shel- lenbergcr and Dorothy Myers will be missing from the majorettes and Mary Baker from the color guard, all be- cause of graduation. Other activities were the Spring, and Christmas Con- certs. Fifty musicians made up one of the best Junior High bands we’ve had at East Berlin High School. These girls and boys all worked diligently toward making their ultimate goal, the Senior Band. The Junior Band partici- pated in the Spring and Christmas Concerts and in addi- tion was a big feature in the first Hallowe’en Parade spon- sored by the Junior High and Elementary Art Classes. Mr. Earl Ward is doing a fine job as director of the bands.

We are on our way to E-3 for Senior Chorus practice. The Senior Chorus is a com- bination of the Girls’ and Boys’ Choruses, only sopho- mores, juniors and seniors being permitted to participate. Our music director was Mrs. Delores Meredith, with Drena Gimmell at the piano. While Mrs. Meredith was in the hospital, Miss Esther Mussleman was our sub- stitute music director. December came and we put on our Christmas program, featuring a soprano solo by Jane Ebersole. Singing in the octet were Shirley Berkheimer and Norma Baublitz, soprano; Lois Wirick and Elaine Schmuck, alto; Chester Wolf and Ronald Reynolds, tenor; Robert Roland and Robert Jacobs, bass. The Junior Chorus, featuring a solo by Dianne Lease, took part in the Christmas program, too. Every year chorus members are selected to take part in the Adams County Chorus. Mrs. Meredith selected: Drena Gimmill, Norma Baublitz, Jane Ebersole, Sandra Inskip, Carole Dolheimer, Shirley Berkheimer, Robert Jacobs, Robert Roland, Chester Wolf, Ronald Reynolds and Dale Meals from the Senior Chorus. Doris Berkheimer, Bonnie Jacobs, Peggy Keller, Vicky Little, Diane McCartney, Lillian Nickey, Jolene Shafer, Beverly Topper, Dean Bent- zel, Thomas Berkheimer, and John Lerew from the Junior Chorus. Many of the Seniors will be leaving us, but they will take with them a pin for the years they have been in Senior Chorus.

But when let loose for the second half with their high determination and fight, rallied, and were undefeated and untied.

At the beginning of November, Coach Diviney called for his Tribe” and many basketball enthusiasts answered the call for both J-Vee and Varsity. The first few days were spent limbering up those tight muscles and getting into shape. After that came the hard work of learning the fundamentals of the game and getting back the feel of the floor and the ball. He knew' the team lacked height so in his coaching he emphasized most by speed and ball handling as a team. After about a week of training he was ready to pick the teams which he felt best suited his require- ments. The teams were put into their first test thru exhibition games. That was where the coach really got a good look at his teams and he figured on a very prosperous season. Both teams had successful seasons. The outstanding scorers for the J-Vee were Bill” Haverstick and Charles Chronister, and for the Varsity were Mert” Groupe, Dut” Altland, and Reds” Krall, but all the members of both teams were in there fighting every moment of every game. As a result of their fair play and team work, both teams ended high in the standings. Dut” Altland, Reds” Krall, Mert” Groupe, Wally” Roland, Jake” Jacobs, Chub” Myers, Bill” Shafer, Chet” Wolf have played their last games for East Berlin High School with the close of the 1955-56 season.

Page 65 Due to the lack of a full time girls Physical Education teacher, the team was at first coached by Mr. Gruver — then by Coach” Diviney. The team was managed by Seniors — Louise Altland and Norma Baublitz. We started with a nucleus of six players from the 1954 team— Dot” Myers, Drena Gemmill, Barbara Spahr, Mary Shellen- berger, Mary Burgard, and Sandy” Inskip. Extra strength came from the following new girls — Ruth Brodbeck, Flo” Groupe, Linda Shellenberger, Ramona Wampler, Loreen Albright, Kris- tina Ostrom, Ruth Wolf, and Shirley Smith. The starting line-up consisted of Dot” Myers, Mary Shel- lenberger, and Barbara Spahr as Forwaids. Grena Gemmill, Sandy” Inskip and Mary Burgard as guards. Dot” Myers, Mary Shellenberger, Drena Gemmill and Sandy” Inskip are the seniors on this year’s squad. The schedule called for meeting each league team once with games being played regularly every Friday night throughout the season, as preliminaries to the boys’ varsity. Unfortunately, the girls didn’t win any of their games but the qualities of good sportsmanship and fair play may be even more important to them.

Our cheerleaders practice their cheers with the same enthusiasm that our players work out their plays. They are both working for the same thing, to bring our team to victory. Our cheerleaders are the best. Our school, as well as the players, will agree with this, I’m sure.

Adams County League members East Berlin and York Springs got their baseball seasons under way yesterday afternoon against Yorg. County League rivals. The East Berlin Indians, coached by Curvin Smith, nosed out Dover, 4-3. on the loser’s diamond, while A1 Billett’s Springers dropped a 4-1 decision to Kennard-Dale at Stewartstown. Each game was halted in the fifth by rain. Dover Erases 3-0 Deficit East Berlin responded after a Dover rally to get off on the right foot. The Indians’ 3-0 lead was erased by a home team explosion in the fourth. Dale Wolfrom s two- run double, coming with the pil lows packed, featured the uprising But, in the fifth, the invaders’ Wayne Mummert drew a walk, ad- vanced on Dave Anderson’s safety, then came around via an error. Charley Wolf set down Dover in its half to make the margin stick when the rains came.

May 25—P. I. A. A. State College. This will mark the third year for golf competition here at E. B. H. S. but the first time as a member of an organized league in the P. I. A. A. The first two years we were compelled to ‘'free lance” and play only those teams courteous enough to entertain us. We are now one of six teams in the Western Division of the Central Penn Golf League, other members being Carlisle, Central Dauphin, Cumberland Valley, West York, and York high schools. Our home contests will again be played on the Hanover Country Club course, Abbottstown — thanks to the courtesy of its officers. Donald Pickle” Crawford, our number one golfer, last summer, qualified for the 10th annual International Jaycee Junior Golf Tourna- ment, Columbus, Georgia, by being one of the best four of more than sixty golfers at the state tournament at Washington, Pa. Don has two more seasons in which to pickle his opponents. Other candidates in- clude, Bill Haverstick, Bob Moul, Ken Klinedinst, Jack Leib, Jim Leib, Jerry Lillich, Gordon Stambaugh, and the Misses Pat Bishop and Carole Rowland. Match play prevails, with all contests being played on Mondays and Fridays. Mr. Gruver acts as adviser to this group. SCHOOLBOY GOLFERS TO START CENTRAL PENN LEAGUE MONDAY AFTERNOON East Berlin Coach E. M. Gruver has only eight candidates in training for berths on his Western division team, but he fully expects the young- sters to make their presence felt in the league. Pacing the East Berlin team is a Junior, Don Crawford, winner of the Hanover JCC tourney last year. He placed fourth in the State JCC event behind Graybill, thus qualify- ing for the National event. Other team members expected to see action Monday against York High are: Jack Leib, the only Seni- or, and Bill Haverstick, a letter win- ner, Ken Klinedinst and Gordon Stambaugh, all Sophomores. Bob Moul, a Junior, and Jim Leib and Jerry Lillich, two more Sopho- mores, complete the East Berlin roster. ART EAST BERLIN PUPILS WIN POSTER PRIZES Fifteen dollars first prize was won by two Fast Berlin High School students in the Adams County Health poster contest con- ducted among the junior and senior high schools of the county, with 102 entries registered. Carlean Fnsor, 13-year-old eighth grader, captured the honors in the junior high division and J. Edward Witters swept the senior high school brackets with his entry. These posters, which are now being displayed in the Gettysburg National Bank, will be entered in state competition in the near future. The posters were judged on their health message, originality, neatness and general appearance. All judging took place Sunday. The entries were judged by Ernest Krape, Richard Krick, Mrs. Raymond F. Sheely and Dr. James H. Allison. The posters were required to portray preventive medicine or general health as re- lated to the family doctor. Second place prizes of S10 each went to Joan Shenscncy, eighth grade, St. Joseph’s, Bonneauyille, and Anne Lott, Biglerville High sophomore. Third place went to Mary Shermyer, seventh grader at St. Joseph’s School, Bonncauville, and Annette Irvin, a sophomore at Delone Catholic High, McSherrystown. Mrs. Knisley’s 9th Girls’ Class (WINNERS! In art class we use water paints, oil paints, and some- times powder paints. We do wood carving and block- prints. We have girls or boys in each class called supply sergeants. They supply us with the materials we need, such as paints, paste, colors, paper and many other things. Some of us work on the subjects we like best. Mrs. Knisley helps us on special sujcests for Hallowe'en, Christmas, Open House, and other special work. As we walk past the door of Room 23 we hear the rhythm of typewriters, all typing away at once. Mr. Case, the commercial teacher, is always there to tell his students how to do everything correctly. If you go past the room at the right time, you will hear music drifting out into the hall. That is the time when he will have every- one typing to music to get even rhythm. It sounds like fun. CLASSROOM SCENES Mr. Eppley’s Class A studious class, well equipped room, and a pleasant and congenial atmosphere enlightens the age-old subject of Ge- ography. As we sit here dwelling into the depth of life’s waters, we some day will recross the beautiful hills and valleys of old East Berlin High. Physics Class The physics class, composed of students from the junior and senior classes, is taught by Mr. Smith. The first half of the school term the class emphasized mechanics and simple machines. The rest of the year was devoted to heat, electricity, light, wave motion and sound. In March the class took a field trip to the hydroelectric plant at Safe Harbor. SCHOOL PLAY Cupid In Pigtails” Last fall, a comedy, 'Cupid in Pigtails” was presented by the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grades for the benefit of the yearbook fund. Cupid,” Shirley Berkheimer, was trying to keep her mother, Geraldine Altland, from marrying one of the two rich beaus, Robert Jacobs and Larry Myers, she was considering. She finally married a poor (?) bachelor (Ronald Reynolds). SCHOOL ACTIVITIES Hallowe'en Party PLAY AWARD East Berlin High won a special award of merit and a cash prize of $5.00 for the acting in the play ‘ The Inner Willy,” directed by Miss Miller and produced in the 1954-’55 school term. The award and cash prize were presented to East Berlin by the Row Peterson Dramatic Company. The Row Pe- terson Dramatic Company gives a special prize each year to schools winning in their National Play Picture Contest. May Queen Attendants Refreshments!
