As freshman, a few of our class were on the Mountaineer staff and in the band, which played at Teachers' lnstitute at Neffsville. Mr. Hammon returned early in the year as principal of E. H. S. To cheer for the Iunior High basketball team, the following cheerleaders were elected: Bay Boltz, Iune Hiestand, Anne Oberholtzer, and Pat Hackman. When we were sophomores, a Student Council was organized, which set up the point system. We were the first class to come under this system. Our class officers for the year were: William Donecker, president, Ierry Kreider, vice president, Loretta Shimp, secretary, and Lester Hoover, treas- urer. Several of our boys helped the football team to become champions and to win no less than five trophies. Members from the band participated in the district band festival, while members of both the band and the mixed chorus took part in the county music festival, held in our own school that year. Mr. Metzler organized a dramatics club, Erata Eootlightersu, which presented The Night of Ianuary l6th , with three of our members in the cast. We chose Donald Eitnier, president, Eugene Will, vice president, Mary Nies, secretary, and Alice Callihan, treasurer, at the beginning of our Iunior year. During the year, the high school orchestra was formed by Mr. Berger. Several members of our class participated in this and in the newly-organized Madrigal Singers. Members of our class also took part in the annual Ephrata-Lititz fray from which the locals emerged triumphant with a score of l2-U. Our Subterranean Soir'ee fthe annual proml was held in the gym on April 30. Decorations were blue, aqua, coral, and yellow. From 9 till l2 Bob l..yter's orchestra furnished music for the happy dancers. Early in September, li-348, we returned from a lonely vacation to our dear old alma mater. lt was the beginning of the end. We elected as our officers for our Senior year: Eugene Will, president, Ray Boltz, vice president, l..aVonne Althouse, secretary, and William Donecker, treasurer. Football co-captains Richard Kachel and Lester Hoover led the team through a successful season, ending in second place in the Conference of the Roses. The annual game with Lititz resulted in a 7-7 tie. On November 23, the first annual variety show, sponsored by the Dra- matics club, was such a success that it promised more in the future. As guests of the class of '50 the seniors spent an enjoyable evening at the Iunior Prom held in the gym on May 6. The graduation season with Baccalaureate service, Class Day, and Commencement, came and passed. On Iune 3, the golden nuggets of happiness gathered by the Forty- Niners during our high school days melted into one golden memory as we left 'Erata High, prepared for the tasks of the future. 0450 Gliaiatmetta r if t l l rtxl 'Vi l .X f 6 Q I1 MEM ZH? Gian 721w41Fv,eag -..sgHgs..- Time-This is the spring of 1949. We, the writers of this prophecy, dedicate this day to renewing within us the spirit of our namesakes--those sturdy adventurers of the gold rush days. ln order to do this, we gather all the equipment needed to be typical '49ers and hike to the Cocalico Creek. We reach our destination. Here for several hours, we will be gold prospectors incognito. We roll up our slacks, wade into the ankle-deep water, and begin our search for a possible gold deposit. After finding a likely spot, We begin to pan for the shining metal. At first we are discouraged-then, suddenly, the sun strikes a substance in the pan, causing so great a brilliancy that an illusion appears, enabling us to see twenty years hence. The scene of action is an alumni dinner dance for the class of '49, being held at the Ephrata Consolidated Senior High School. Loretta Shimp and Eugene Will, secretary and president respectively of the Alum- ni Association, have traversed to the far corners of the earth, contacting their former classmates so that they might be present tonight. The Association had some trouble engaging the Fichthorn Catering Co., headed by Miss Fichthorn herself. There she is talking to some former companions, Patricia Hackman, supervisor of Baltimore playgrounds, and Emery Strohm who has recently patented his ice cream tablets. Whom do we see entering but Monsieur and Madame Charles Mohn, to us, Ianet and Charlie, owners of Mohn's Salon, that flourishing business that gives men anything from egg shampoos to corn plasters. Arriving now are those members of our class who have obtained positions on the school faculty. They are: Laverne Shirk, head of the commercial departmentg Lu- cille Heisey, music directressg Pearl Gockley, art supervisory Mary Nies, Latin instruc- tress, Arletta Bingeman, kindergarten teacher, and Elva Martin, full-time nurse. Mr. Daugherty, the renowned television mogul, Mr. Taylor, steel king, and Mr. R. L. Kachel, our distinguished congressman, are having a heated discussion on the latest rise of the stock market. The majority of the people have arrived and have taken their places at the banquet tables. Seated at the farthest table we see the sports-minded men, the two pro-basketeers, Whitcraft and VonNeida, Rupp, Notre Dame's line coach, Ream, director of athletics at Penn, Deater, retired Iockey, and Kline, ray-gun expert. Beverly Krick, the Met primadonna, Schlott, the Powers model, and Marian Mills, the dramatic critic flew from New York via Royer's Rapid Rocket Service. Being served at the speakers' table, we see lack Wingenroth, noted for his chain of helicopter stations, Fred Weber, owner of the let-travel Bureau, and Donald Beall, manager of the Trans-Globe Ticket Agency. Also seated here is Earl Wenzel, who has Sport's Supply Stores in Montreal, Los Angeles and Ephrata. Bill Donecker, New York Times sports editor, who is also the speaker of the eve- ning, will be introduced by Nevin Snader, commodity merchant, now talking with his personnel manager, Shirley Eitnier. ' After the praise-worthy address we are entertained by Bette Nolle, the elocution- ist. Lavonne Althouse, eminent authoress and correspondent, has arrived late due to a delay in Cairo. Entering with her is Dolores Gelsinger, Parisian coiffure model. We hear smooth strains of music and to conclude the banquet an announce- ment is made by Donald Eitnier, civil -service examiner. At this the people rise and proceed to the combination recreation room and gymnasium. - While strolling along the halls, our group of happily married wives gaze at old graduation pictures. While the former Lorraine Fry and Helen Gehr laugh at the dated clothes, Olene Wise and Gloria Wenger chat about their families. We set foot in the gym and find to our surprise that the committee, in order to fan the embers of our memories, has used for decoration the subterranean theme of our Iunior Prom. Guy Hull and his Starlighters, featuring Leon Rutt as solo clarinetist, provide the rhythm. 0460 fi? eeammfee Cikcwi 79JwpPieeg CContinuedl -...,gQg,..- As the dance progresses, we see Nancy Renninger, Dean of Ephrata's College for Women and her partner Vernon Adams, now an agent of the F. B. I., conversing with comedienne, Ardeth Groff and her escort, lack Saylor, president of Saylor's Su- preme Soups. Ray Boltz, announcer for station, EPH-TV, is acting as master of ceremonies for the occasion. With him is his high school sweetheart, Charlotte Cammauf, now his wife. Ray introduces the famous dance team, The Don Hooveranos, better known as Faye and Lester, who will do a Spanish saraband with castonets and native costume. Following this performance, the center of the floor separates revealing a swim- ming pool. The next act is a water ballet by the olympic swimming team of Iune Hies- tand, Faye Roth, Miriam Brubaker and loyce Mellinger. As a special attraction Daniel Brunner, world's diving artist, adds his talent to the aquatic event. Among the interested spectators are the class twins, Barbara and Louise Snader, now airline hostesses with the Circum World Airlines. Who should be sitting dangerously close to the pool but that hilarious comedian, Danny Lane. He entertains us with a comic routine written by script writer, Glenn Dietrich. With the end of this act the floor closes and the band shell revolves, revealing Harold Landis and his Lamplighters with their popular songstress Nancy Yoder. At a corner table just off the dance floor, Paul Gerard, mortician, Edwin Stewart, new car dealer, Elmer Pierce, novelty manufacturer, and Clyde Wolf, record-breaking cycletronist are enjoying a game of pinochle. Alice Callihan, wife of a Wallstreet financier, greets Audrey Wenger, another socialite. While Vesta Gehr, African huntress and Ioanne Dissinger, physical education in- structress at Brownstown socialize, others take advantage of the music. Among those dancing, are Henrietta Walters, cosmetic specialist for Ephrata's Playhouse, and Ronald Mohler, upholsterer, Charlene Kochel, skilled operator of tele- vision-telephone, and Gerald Grill, test pilot of the moon-magnetic rocket. The newly-appointed Secretary of Agriculture, Morton Fry asks his charming sec- retary, Helen Keller for the next dance. The masterminds, Lester Andes, physicist, Stanley Brossman, mathemetician, and George Diem, historian, all prominent members of Princeton's Post-graduate School re- lax as they watch their old pal Bill Ingham, architect, take a whirl with Arlene Hufford, originator of the Chicago Baton School. . Two of the lucky bachelors, Ierry Kreider, Ephrata's man of leisure and Richard Dussinger, Latin American matinee idol are roaming from one to another group of the fairer sex. Requesting their favorite tune from the orchestra leader are Virginia Stohler and lean Steffy, whose attire illustrates the good taste used by them in their select dress shop. Reba Frederick, nail laquer specialist, and Norene Noll, head seamstress as- sociated with the Fifth Avenue Designing Firm are seen sipping cokes at the refresh- ment table. Since Nancy Wolfe has recently returned from a world debating tour, she takes this opportunity to speak with Phyllis Palm and Dorothy Zwally, co-owners of the Chic Chapeau Shop. As Nancy Hackman, photographer for Ephrata's Fashion Center, and Wilbur Bau- der, noted dairy statistician, demonstrate the latest dance step, they are interrupted by Robert Kilhefner and Carl Adams, planetarians, and Russell Lefever, aquamarine itiner- ant trying to cross the floor. We head toward the refreshment table. But wait! . . . The music is fading, our vision dims and we see only silhouettes ot our companions. After we hear an ear-splitting sound, we only realize what is happening. A thunder cloud has over-shadowed the sun, breaking our illusion. Our gold nuggets are only pebbles. Fearing a storm we temporarily forget both our illusion and equipment as we run like Mercury toward home. So here We are, relating to you what we have seen as the future for the class of '49 0470 l1f1, 60 ,,f x I , Q 1 It Ain't Gonna Rain No Mo' Stop the Musicn 10, 11.

Suggestions for school improvement composed by applicants for staff membership and entitled What I Would Do If l Were Principal for a Day Were turned over to Student Council and many of them Were carried into effect. Under the competent guidance of Miss Weidman and Miss Keller, the staff experienced another successful year. The class of 1949 Wishes the best fortune to the future staff and knows that they will continue to make the paper a bigger and better publi- cation. 0530 QW 'VI l l ll N f l Q 'f eemcmcce Iiand The band has continued to practice diligently under the direction of Mr. Berger.

Originally the group contained only twenty-seven students, it now contains forty-three stu- dents, representing the seventh to twelfth grades. This talented group of musicians has favored the student body many times in chapel programs. On December 15 it presented the first full con- cert which was completely successful to the public. Much of the success of this group is contributed by their very capable director, Mr. Berger. We, the class of 49 , wish the Ephrata High School Orchestra many more suc- cessful years in the future.

This group of girls from all classes of the high school were willing to pursue this extra-curricular activity as library assistants and take the neces- sary instructions under Miss Hoover, the librarian, to assist her in this work. They volunteered much of their time to arrange and replace books, maga- zines, arid papers in their proper order and gave other needed assistance. The three senior members oi this group are Ianet Arters, Loretta Shimp, and Betty Lou Noll. The reward tor the library assistants' willingness to de- vote some oi their study periods to this helpful purpose will be titteen points towards the large This service has indeed been a valuable contribu- tion in making school work more pleasant. 0580 fi 1153 ,i'.ff be ' ' .. ,r .ij ? lo wrata Qoutbghfem President ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,A,A,,,,,,,, Miriam Brubaker Vice President ,,,,....,,,,,,,,,, Mary Nies Secretaries ,,,,,,,, Laverne Shirk and Phyllis Fichthorn Treasurer ,,,, .. ..

The purpose of this club is to develop within its members, poise, self- reliance and ability to express oneself before an audience. These are some of the qualifications necessary for participation in a play. In previous years small skits were given at club meetings as a method of gaining experience. This year, however, a new idea was used. Each member worked either individually on a monologue, or in group for a skit which could be presented at a moment's notice any time during the year. Several of these skits and monologues were used in the first presen- tation of the year, a Variety Show, sponsored by the club under the super- vision of Mr. Metzler. This show which was presented to the public on No- vember 23 received very favorable criticism. Gther productions were given in the spring. 0590 f f.

With Miss McMillen as its mentor, the club first studied the different parts of a gun and the many safety rules concerning the handling of a gun. Later the girls Went to the range, learned how to handle a rifle, and applied the facts they had learned.
