Our social event of the year was the class party held in the gymnasium. We unveiled our dramatic talents by presenting Andy's Antics, directed by Miss Bessie Bear. Choosing our class ring, the All-Star, was another important event of our sophomore year, along with the class party. To prove that we were right at home behind the footlights, during our iunior year we produced two dramatic triumphs: the class play,', The Kid, under the direction of Mr. Howard Minnich, and the class as- sembly presentation, Our Miss Brooks, which was written by the members of the class. Bringing to light another talent, the art of salesmanship, we seniors went to work selling magazines and candy. The senior play, The Big Surprise, was one of the best plays ever presented at MHS. Baccalaureate Service and Commencement Exercises reminded us that no longer would we be working together as one group, for we solemnly said good-by to our happy high school days at MHS. t Row, left to Right: Humes, D.

JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY With such competent leaders as John Heath, president, Joan Harro, vice-president, Janet Zimmerman, secretary-treasurer: and Don Bair, student council representative: the class of '53 began their freshman year under the capable direction of Mr. Earl Smith, class dean. In their sophomore year they chose the Lordship for their class ring. Class officers were John Heath, president, Addison Bowman, vice-president, Ann Wentz, secretary-treasurer, and Don Bair, student council representative. Gone About Girls, a one-act comedy, was presented under the direction of Miss Bessie Bear, class dean. Their annual class party was held in the gymnasium. Starting off their junior year with a bang, the iuniors gave their excellent class play, Where There's a Will, directed by Mr. Howard Minnich. The iunior assembly was presented in the form of a Variety Show, an original skit, directed by Mr. Roy Malone, class dean.

We find the sophisticated sophomores starting the year by choosing the Regent as their class ring. ' On November 7 the sophomore class presented their class assembly, a one-act comedy, No Suit for Bill, directed by Miss Bessie M. Bear. This excellent assembly was only a preview of their future performances. The sophomores have proved their capability by participating in many athletic, musical, and dramatic activities, thus they have helped to make our school more democratic. ln March the annual sophomore class party, held in the gymnasium, was a delightful event, which forecast two more enioyable years. tkow, left to Right: Failor, Olsen, G.

FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY The eighth graders finally entered their long awaited freshman year. A large number of the students of the freshman class came to M. H. S. from rural schools. Not only were they awed by the size of the student body, but they were impressed by the spirit of friendliness and helpfulness on the part of their classmates. Many freshmen have contributed their abilities in junior high sports, musical or- ganizations, various clubs, and student government. On Moy 7 the freshman class assembly, under the able direction of Mr. Earl E Smith, proved to be a fitting climax to a very successful year. Front Row, Left to Right: Pace, Stillwaggen, Marquort, R.

They have already made their contributions to the Junior High School Football team, the Junior High School J.V. Basketball team, the Junior Band, the Dramatic Club and the Safety Patrol. Their present officers include James Fishel, president, Mollie Ritter, vice-president: Jane Boffemmyer, secretary-treasurer, and Russel Runk, student council representative.

Late in the first quarter, Roge Hoke blocked a Swatara punt and carried it to the Swatara TO. On the next play, .lim Browning circled his right end to score the first TD of the young season. ln the second period, Browning again scooted around the end and raced 44 yards to score. Climaxing the evening's scoring, Browning took the second half kickoff, and with the aid of a few key blocks, traveled 82 yards to collect the final TD. M.H.S. 26 WESTERN 6 The Wildcats made it two in a row as Western High School, iourneying all the way from our nation's capital, succumbed by a margin of 20 points. Hardly had the opening whistle sounded when John Bricker passed to Rodger Hoke from the Western 31 for a touchdown. The score moved up to I3-O as a Jim Browning to Vance Eckert pass clicked, and Browning added the Cats first PAT of the young season. A Western scoring drive followed by another dash to pay- dirt by Jim widened the margin to T9-6 at intermission. After a scoreless third quarter, Browning ran his touchdown total to 3, and Eckert plunged for the point to end the scoring at 26-6. COACH SEIBERT COACH SHIELDS Seventy M.H.S. 45 MIDDLETOWN C Amassing the highest score of the season the Wildcats continued .their winning way by swamping the Middletown Blue Raid! ers 45-6.

Roge Hoke collectec two TD's after snaring passes fron Browning and Bricker. ln the last quarter Dick Stover crashed off tackle and race: 30 yards to score. Irwin Alexande concluded the scoring with a 70-yarc punt return. M.H.S. i 5 HERSHEY C Mechanicsburg went into South Penl Conference play at spacious Hershej stadium and returned with a hard-earnex i5-O triumph.

M.H.S. 13 HANOVER l3 A last minute score ended the M.H.S. victory streak at four as the Hanover Nighthawks tied the Cats on Mechanics- lburg's own home grounds. Overcoming an early 6-O deficit, the Maroon-and- Steel pushed ahead by a i3-6 count and appeared to have the game all sewed up, when Ed Fox, who had filled the air with passes all evening, came through in the clutch with his game-saving pass. The PAT was added successfully to complete this memorable last-ditch 'drive. M.H.S. 35 WAYNESBORO 6 Re-entering conference competition, Mechanicsburg met an old nemesis, Waynesboro, on Memorial Field, and it iappeared that the Golden Tornado would live up to this billing as they sported an early 6-0 lead. However, this lead was short-lived as Jim Browning dashed 89 yards to paydirt with the ensuing kickoff to knot the half-time score at 6-6. The Wildcats broke loose in the second half, and four touchdowns, one safety, and two PAT kicks by Pete Enck ran the total up to 35-6. l ZIMMERMAN, .l. V. Coach MARTIN, Jr. High Coach Seventy-one M.H.S. 26 NEW CUMBERLAND O Scoring twice in the second and fourth quarters enabled the Wildcats to shellac their shore rival, New Cumberland, 26-O. The Cats missed several scoring oppor- tunities in the first quarter but began to click in the second. The ball was moved from midfield to the 4-yard stripe on Browning's groundwork and a Wright to Alexander pass. Browning plunged for his eleventh TD of the season, and Pete Enck added the PAT. Next the Cats recovered a Tiger fumble on the 5-yard line, and Alexander scored on the next play. ln the final period, Paul Murphy raced 40 yards to score after grasping a 5-yard pass from John Bricker. Brown- ing intercepted a Tiger pass and on the next play scooted around the right end 37 yards to conclude the scoring. PAT WENTZ, Honorary Captain BOB BAHN JACK BEITZEL M.H.S. 20 SHIPPENSBURG O Before a record-breaking crowd of 500 fans, the Wildcats slid to an easy 20-O victory over the Shippensburg Greyhounds in the grimy mud and drenching rain at Memorial Park. After a scoreless first half, Dick Stover broke away from the Greyhound pursuers and waddled 85 yards to score. Alexander plunged for the PAT. ln the last quarter Vance Eckert plowed through the mud 55 yards to collect six points. Stover added the extra point on a plunge. John Bricker romped 25 yards for the final TD. M.H.S. 0 GETTYSBURG l 3 A badly crippled Wildcat eleven suffered their first loss ofthe l95l grid campaign at the hands of the Gettysburg Warriors. Wildcat scoring aces, Browning and Alexander, were unable to play because of iniuries. The Cats missed several scoring opportunities in the last half. They were on the Gettysburg one-yard line four plays but were unable to score. ln winning the tilt, Gettysburg clinched their first conference pennant in twenty years. JOHN BRICKER JIM BROWNING JOHN BURKHART DlCK CEKOVICH Seventy-two l l 1 l l l PETE ENCK ROGE HOKE HARRY MOWERY M.H.S. l 2 CHAMBERSBURG l9 For the fourth consecutive year, the Maroon-and-Steel was unable to cope with Chambersburg's iinx, losing by a margin of one touchdown on Memorial Field. The home forces were again plagued by iniuries and were without the services of stellar halfback Jim Browning for the second game in a row. There was no score in the closely played first half, but the touchdown stripe was crossed five times in the second half as the Valley Troians ground out their close victory. M.H.S. O CARLISLE 38 The Thunder Herd from Carlisle lived up to their name as they trampled the Wildcats 38-O in the annual Thanksgiving Day classic. The Herd dis- played their power as they scored six times, amassing l7 first downs and 297 yards in rushing to the four first downs and 5 yards rushing of the Wildcats. Jim Browning returned to the lineup but was unable to contribute much help because Carlisle kept a constant surveillance on him. ln Coach Frederick's career, this was only the second game lost to Carlisle. Although the Cats dropped their last three contests, they enioyed a successful season with seven wins, three losses, and one tie.

JUNIOR VARSITY FOOTBALL Coach Zimmerman's Junior Cats got off to a slow start as the Hershey Trojans eked out a 7-O decision in the season opener. The Cats missed a scoring opportunity in the last quarter when their drive bogged down on the tive-yard line. The J.V.'s battled their shore rival, New Cumberland, to a scoreless tie in the next encounter. Don Bair and Paul Waggoner paced the Mechanicsburg eleven to their first win of the season over Chambersburg I3-O. The Cats next suffered a I2-6 setback at Boiling Springs. The Wildcats then rebounded to smother Camp Hill in a fury of touchdowns 2l-6. Carlisle topped the local eleven I4-O in a hectic battle at Carlisle. In the season finale Hanover topped the J.V.'s I9-l2. Although the Junior Varsity won only two contests, they gained valuable experience, which should be an asset to Coach Frederick next year.

JUNIOR HIGH FOOTBALL The Junior Cats, guided by Coach Martin, completed an encouraging year, winning half and losing half of their games. The Kittens also 'furnished an even record against conference foes with two wins and two losses. They were outscored by all opponents 46-39, but won over South Penn rivals 32-26. The total of eighteen letters awarded to members of a squad totaling twenty-three is an indication of good things to come in the next few years of iunior-varsity and varsity play. Letter winners were: grade nine-Bill Bitner, John Fishel, Tom Fisher, Charles Humes, John Mackey, Fred Miller, Martin Myers, Eugene Potteiger, Jack Quigley, Tom Ryan, Edgar Wagner, Ken Wood, and Don Woolford, grade eight-Clair Byers, Stanley Fickes, Harold Kell, Earl Kohlhaas, grade seven-Richard Hickman. John Fishel led the scorers with eighteen points on three touchdowns. Earl Kohlhaas was second with nine on one TD and three PATs. Clair Byers and Thomas Fisher followed with one touchdown apiece. Eight players were in every quarter throughout the season. Several of these boys will return next year to play Junior High ball again, and several will move on to the J. V.'s to give their assistance on that team. JUNIOR HIGH FOOTBALL RECORD M.H.S. Game Opp. M.H.S. Game Opp. 0 . . . Camp Hill . . . . 20 O . . . Hershey . . 6 I3 . . . Carlisle .... . O O . . .
