The Littonian is an account of the life around our schools and the make-up of our town, a storehouse filled with experiences, a future reference of memories long forgotten and dreams too often discarded. Our most memorable and enjoyable days are soon to come to an end. We look back on our six years at L.l-l.S. as the most rewarding years of our lives. These were the years during which we learned to take on responsibility. The class of T956 would like to express their appreciation to the people of the community for the many facilities provided, which enabled us to have a better education.. 2 LZ I SENIORS - 7 UNDERCLASSMEN - 21 T T ACTIVITIES - 29 SPORTS - 35 ORGANIZATIONS - 49 N ADMINISTRATION - 65 I I N7 ADS - 73 DEDICATION We, the class of 56, proudly dedicate the thirty-second edition of the Littonian to the people of our Littlestown school community. Our appreciation and many thanks go to the business men, Rotarians, Lions, Jaycees, and all the Ladies Auxiliaries who gave their time and patience to help us make this yearbook, the football programs and many other extra activities possible, to houeswives, students, factory workers, and farmers who supported and helped make our projects successful ones, to teachers, pastors, and scoutleaders who have helped and guided us in the past, and who will continue to guide us in the future, and to the taxpayers who have so gratefully made our school years possible. We sin- cerely express our deep thanks to all who have had any part in making Littlestown Junior-Senior High School a better, happier place for all the students. We hope that we, as future citizens, may cooperate as well with the classes that follow us.

I CLASS HISTORY May, 1956! Four years ago, it seemed but a remote date and now we find, all too soon, the day we thought would never come has arrived. Commencement and all it means to us, the Class of '56! It seems no time at all that we felt we had so much time to do everything we had to do. One day, however, we woke up and discovered, to our surprise, that we were seniors and the end of our goal together was in sight. Crowded into our few months of our senior year were our numerous activities. We ended a successful football season as the Champs of the Laurel League Conference and placed two of our seniors on the all-star team. We worked hard on our senior play and met the deadline for the Littonian. We selected our motto, chose our class colors, and wrote our class song. As we did all these things, we were mindful that each one of us would soon go our separate ways. We became serious seniors, studying hard because many of us were going on to colleges or nursing schools. Others were planning on going out into the business world, into offices, or into factories. We were suddenly aware that we would not be the carefree, happy-go-lucky students we had once been, but that we had to grow up in order to become responsible citizens. We had fun decorating for the Christmas Dance but it, like the Prom, quickly became pleasant memories. The year drew to a close and we were off to Washington, fifty merry seniors. We faced our finals with a smile and then turned our thoughts to Graduation. We had come a long way from the day we had entered the portals of L.H.S. as Greenie Freshmen. The final history of the Class of '56 was being written. Going back in retrospect, we really lived up to our name of Jolly Juniors. What a carefree happy year that was! In the fall, we could hardly wait until we could receive and wear our school rings. We en- tered into all the extra curricular activities of the school and made Q ourselves known in all of them, but the highlight of the year for all of us was the Junior Prom. Early in the year we chose our theme, Friend- ship's Garden, and every one of the class worked hard, long hours to make it the best, most unusual, and never-to-be-forgotten dancel In the spring of the year, along with the seniors, we attended the Career Conference at Gettysburg College. The last day of school brought with it the realization of our aim in high school-to be sophisticated seniors in the fall of '55. As we turn our thoughts back to the hrst two years of our high school days, our memories are somewhat hazy and vague, but there are a few bright spots that we vividly recall. In our freshmen year after we had learned to get to the right classes on time and learned what was expected of us, we looked in eager anticipation for our class rings. When we started wearing them, we finally felt like students of L.H.S. In the spring of that year, our trip to Harrisburg and Hershey, our visit to the County Court House, and the Valentine Dance, at which Susie Long was crowned Queen, were the outstanding events. The following fall we returned to school as Silly Sophomores. This year we were able to attend our first formal occasion-the Christmas Dance. We participated in many of the extra curricular activities. Our biggest thrill was the ordering of our school rings. The time has now come for us to say goodbye to our friends and classmates. We wish to thank the teachers who have helped and guided and inspired us in these past years. lt is with sadness and regret that we see the final pages of our history come to an end.

JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY 1956 Excitement was in the air as a group of eager boys and girls entered the halls of L.H.S. for the first time as students. This was the day we had all been waiting for. As we entered the building, our group of ninety-two pupils was immediately dubbed the class of '57, Our grade school teachers had told us that the years before us would fly quickly, but to us, then, it didn't seem possible. But now, looking back, it does seem like only yesterday. As we became adjusted to our new surroundings, we sometimes made mistakes, but soon we felt at home in our new environment. The first two years of our school lives, we took part in the band, chorus, dramafics, and showed our school spirit by supporting and participating in sports and other activities. After an enjoyable vacation, we returned in the fall of I954 to find ourselves Freshmen. We were now the eldest of the junior hi , and felt our importance as leaders of that group. As we participated in the band, sports, clubs, journalism, and choruses, we felt more responsi- bilities toward our studies and decided to work harder at them. Even with studies, we man- aged, however, to build up our class treasury to a considerable amount. This year we ordered our class rings and took the annual Freshmen trips to Harrisburg and Hershey. As Sophomores, or silly sophs, we spent our first year in Senior High. We took part in all of the various activities and tried to work harder on our studies. The main events of the year were the Christmas dance and the ordering of our school rings to be given us in our Junior year. After a hot, but enjoyable summer, we knew we soon had to make a decision about our future. To help us decide, we attended a Career Conference in Gettysburg, but some of us were still unsure. While concerned with the decision, we had to prepare for the Prom, given by us for the Seniors. This was the most important and enjoyable time of the year for us. We received our school rings, and with determination looked eagerly forward to the most important year of our school life. Signed, Jane Barton, Historian CLASS OFFICERS President .,.... ....

HISTORY OF CLASS OF '58 In the year 1952, the class of 58, numbering seventy, entered L.H.S. on the pathway to higher learning. Eagerly, we took part in such school activities as: The Underclassmen play, Mr. Bean from Lima, sports, chorus, and band. We soon learned how to End our way around and understood the meaning of the word study. In eighth grade we participated once more in the activities of the school and delighted in persecuting the new seventh graders. After a happy summer vacation, we returned as freshmen, feeling more confident and less confused. That year we had an important decision to make which would greatly influence our futures, that being, the choice of the course each of us would attempt to complete. Our number was now reduced to fifty-six, but the ones of us left were still active in sports, band, student council, and chorus. We achieved one of our desires-taking the trip to Harris- burg which proved to be an educational and interesting experience. At last, in the fall of '55 we had advanced into the senior high. This year saw fifty-four ambitious young people wanting to complete high school and to be allowed to refer to L.H.S. as their Alma Mater.

The main oTTracTion was The beauTiful founTain in The cenTer of The gym which con- Tinually bubbled forTh The wonderful fragrance of Friend- ship's Garden Perfume. The sTage was encircled wiTh laTTice work which had been made by The iunior boys. Hand made rose buds and ivy were Twined Through The laTTice work.

SENIOR PLAY , Oh Father, a Three act comedy by William Ellis Jones, was given by the Senior Class, November lO, l955, in The High School Auditorium under the direction of Miss LeOra Held. Poor Father! Somebody's hand is always in his pocket. If it isn't Cousin Rebecca, it's his spoiled daughters. But a man like William Baynard can take only so much. Right in The midst of The family serenity bursts The news that father plans To give up his bank presidency and accept a small-salaried iob in an lowa college. What a blow that news proves to be! Annette, who had always worn lavish clothes and aspired to Hollywood, is in a spot. Eliza- beth, infected with New York ideas on surrealism, had always turned up her nose at art teacher Charlotte King's more sane ambitions for her. But if she must earn a living-portraits might sell better. Lucile had always planned to live abroad and be a poet on family money, but Miss Rogers' teaching offer begins to look more promising-since necessity is The ruling force. Ah, yes, there are some beneficial results, too. lt looks as if The girls might give up their extravagant schemes and become real women. Old Mrs. Austin, who for years had shrewdly bargained with Mr. Baynard for a valuable old Bible he possessed, buys at once when she hears he's leav- ing. But the biggest surprise to everyone is that father hadn't really planned to give up his bank presidency and leave Richmond in the first place. He said he had circulated The rumor for business reasons. Characters are as follows, Mrs. Helen Baynard, Suzanne Long, Annette Baynard, Carol Richter, Lucile Baynard, Susan Baumgardner, Elizabeth Bay- nard, Nancy Slusser, Rebecca Baynard, Barbara Brown, Adelaide Rogers, Kathryn Strevig, Charlotte King, Loraine Snyder, Mrs. Austin, Fay Fissel, Sarah Kincaid, Clara Rider, Theodora, Joyce Brown, William Baynard, Stan- ley Mummert. CHRISTMAS DANCE The ChrisTmas Dance which was held on SaTur- clay, December TO, l955, was in charge of The sen- ior class. They chose as Their Theme Tor The dance, VVhiTe ChrisTmas. Mr. and Mrs. Snowman gaily presided over The big aTTair from The cenTer of The gymnasium, while SanTa Claus, very much alive, mingled among The guesTs. The music was supplied by The Four Keysmen Tor The one hundred TvvenTy gue-sTs who aTTended. The seniors decorafecl The gym in The chosen colors of blue and whiTe.

You have been a credit to your high school and will be long remembered for your academic achievements and your interests in all the extra curricular work of the school. Sincerely I wish for you good fortune as you leave your Alma Mater to take your place in our social order. The way may not be as easy as it was in high school but the fortitude and determ- ination which I know you possess will be the qualities which will help you attain success. Farewell but not goodbye.

The challenge of the world at the present time is great and we hope each one of you will have much success in solving the many problems that will confront you as you go along life's pathway. We express the wish that you will always remember your days spent at Littlestown High, that the knowl- edge gained in your student days will be an asset to you and that your life and actions will be a credit to your Alma Mater. We enioyed having you as members of our school family and it is our sincere desire that all of you will realize your greatest expectations. Very sincerely LLOYD L. STAVELY Every indication points to a continued industrial and economic advancement which will have its reflection in the demand for and the compensation of all types of service. lt is, therefore, with confidence that I congratulate you upon the achievement of your goal. For only those who, through education and schooling, get to know the cultural and economic greatness of their society, can and will be proud of being members of that society. One can only fight for what one loves, only love what one can respect, and only respect what one knows. To all of you I wish abundant success and the personal satisfaction which a life devoted to service can so fully provide. FRANK E. BASEHOAR 66 l l N T, CLAYTON L. EVANS i ,ul 1 x NX I l FX 4 B.S.

Although they spend endless hours of sweeping and dusting, they remain cheerful at all times. The cooks and their student assistants also contribute a great deal by preparing hot noon lunches daily. These inexpen- sive meals provide all the nutritional requirements necessary tor good health.
