gfau Mhtoty 'k'k'k Some philosophers tell us never to look backward, and not too far forward. We should live mainly in the present. However, this book is one of memories, it is dedicated to a part of our lives which will, to a great extent, mold our future. In years to come, we shall look back and smile, tenderly or amusedly, at many fond memories of our high school life. This history will aid our recollection. V September 2, 1941, anxious and full of ambition, the new frosh entered Mount Joy High School, It was rather hard to adapt ourselves to high school life, but we gradually did it. This year we elected Newton Kendig, president, John Booth, vice president, Jeannette Nissley, secretary, and Nancy Ellis, treasurer. This was the year in which we wrote our autobiographies, this was also the year for the beginning of successful magazine campaigns. Dick Gerberich began his career as star magazine salesman. Our boys resumed their basketball careers on the junior high team, and Doris Eshbach and Newton Kendig were selected to be cheerleaders to help spur our varsity on to victory. Kathryn Leib and Newton Kendig represented the freshmen in the May Queen's Court. In the fall of '42 we returned to Mount Joy High School as sophomores. The hated appellation of greenies was passed on to another class. Our class selected its executives-Newton Kendig, president, Gene Myers, vice president, Kathryn Leib, secretary, and Doris Eshbach, treasurer. Again Dick Gerberich was high salesman in the magazine campaign. Then The Scourge of M. J. H. S. was presented by the 10B class in assembly. Our class was really busy this year, with all the dances and other extracurricular activities. Lee Rice enlisted in the Navy, he was the first boy from our class to leave Mount Joy High School to join the armed forces. It was in our sophomore year that there came a great day in our high school life-we ordered our school rings! Again this year Kathryn Leib and Newton Kendig represented our class in the May Queen's Court. We entered our junior year full of enthusiasm and pep. This year our class officers were Newton Kendig, president, Gene Myers, vice president, Betsy Bigler, secretary, and Virginia Shirk, treasurer. At last our school rings arrived. We started the year with a doggie roast at the Stone Bridge. Dick Gerberich was again the super- salesman in the magazine campaign. What's more, our class inaugurated the Sadie Hawkins' Day Dance, to which all the Daisy Macs and L'il Abners were invited. We really did a lot this year too-we made and directed a radio program in English class, and then Miss Deckard and Miss Zeller accompanied the physics class to Franklin Institute, Philadelphia. We chose our class colors, maroon and silver gray, for our pennants and hats. Our journalists, Betsy Bigler, Doris Eshbach, and Dick Gerberich, were initiated into the Quill and Scroll International Honorary Society. Above all, we made our stage debut in Every Family Has One. Doris Eshbach was our leading lady, assisted by eleven members of our class. Betsy Bigler and Newton Kendig were the May Queen's attendants at a dance sponsored by the juniors. The juniors also entertained the seniors at a semi-formal prom. This was the first affair of its kind at Mount Joy High School. Finally, maintaining our high scholastic standards, Mary Gerberich won the Dr. A. F. Snyder Memorial Prize in American History at the Class Day Exercises. Mostiof us entered our senior year with mixed feelings-some sorry, some glad. Our senior oliicers were Newton Kendig, president, Gene Myers, vice president, Betsy Bigler, secretary, and Erma Gainor, treasurer. When our class decided to have a yearbook, The Voyager, Victor Kupferer was appointed editor-in-chief, assisted by Doris Eshbach and Jeannette Nissley. We had loads of fun working at our senior stand, which was a great linancial success. Henry Wagner invited the class to his home for our last Halloween party. Then The Green Light, our second stage production, was full of suspense, with Virginia Shirk and John Booth playing the leading roles. Our school life has practically ended for most of us. Just Class Day, Baccalaureate, and the climax of our twelve years in school-Graduation Day-remain. High school was not just hard work, it was loaded with fun and full of experiences we will never forget. Twenty
