T'Vhat senior ever graduates from high school without a collection of memories to last throughout his lifetime? Memories start to grow when a student enters first grade and steadily accumulate until senior high, where they multiply by leaps and bounds. Although memories gather without any apparent effort, some stimulant is behind every recollection. Teachers and students have combined their talents throughout the years to enable every pupil to have an unforgettable school life. As we review our book of high school memories, we realize our gratitude never can be fully expressed to all those teachers and students, past and present, who have helped us collect our cherished memories. To them we dedicate this book. 3 wetblezl ... Mx's. L. tells the facts of algebra. 6. Frederick, Seibert and Hanlon watch game Mr. Utz tries Home QECD cooking. 7.

You're all alone tonight. Baby's asleep upstairs, and the rest of the family has gone to the movies. You decide to clean out that gosh-awful hall closet, and you come across an old high school memory book. Ahh . . . what's this? . . . half a soda straw from the Blue Pig that night . . . we had some good times after school at Diehl's too .... Memories of many places come Hooding back . . . the good old cafeteria and THAT food! . . . the wonderful conversations held at the triple doors . . . the jokes in the locker room . . . the practices in room 19 . . . the fun in the art room . . . yes, many memories of many places .... Well, let's explore the next page . . . that test paper is a little yellow around the edges-must have been cheap paper, it couldn't be that old . . . that was some class and so were those periods in chemistry lab-thought sure Iid either die of heart failure or suffocate in there .... This piece of paper from my stenographer's notebook brings lN'Ir. Rarig and his classes back . . . more fun! . . . bonus, bona, bonum-yes, this is from Latin class -will I ever forget? . . . what are these reams of paper? . . . a hygiene report! . . . I'll bet our whole class remembers the teacher mixups we had . . . three history teachers in tenth grade and five English instructors in our senior year! . . . Isn't it funny how well I remember some classes . . . those discussions in Family Living . . . why, I even remember those ninth grade home-ec classes, but then I always knew I would .... i'Vhat I remember best are not the classes but the study halls, particularly the ones in the library! . . . I'Ve1l, enough for this page . . . what will I find on the next? . . . This must be a list of the crazy fads . . . look at this weird picture of the guys in pork-pie hats wearing their collars turned up and clutching their ukes . . . and this remarkable phrase on the back of the picture- Dig these real-gone Cats!,' . . . I also remember that fad for knitting socks . . . my pair started out to be 11's but turned out around 13M . . . oh well, the pattern was neat. . . . VVhat,s this cord from? . . . oh, now I remember, it's OH my yoyo . . . boy, Iill bet we looked silly running around high school with yoyos bobbing up and down .... Dance tickets here by the dozens . . . there seem to be quite a few from square dances . . . they were really popular and an awful lot of fun . . . I remember the fun we had doing novelty numbers . . . lNIr. Martin and his bunny hop-my aching back! . . . I bet I wouldn't have enough wind for the Mexican Hat Dance now, either .... Next page is covered with snaps of my buddies . . . havenit seen some of them for years but Iill bet theyive all found their places in the world . . . we had a lot of talent in our class, particularly the dramatic type . . . brr, that senior play . . . the set was so creepy . . . and the play went off without one Hub . . . I'm even re- 34 . . . ifzeiedlafaualiaed membering the lingo! . . .junior play was a regular riot . . . these programs make me feel so old. . . . VVhat a scream! , . . here's a picture of the spouse in that crazy outfit from the junior assembly . . . wait till I show this to the kids . . . but better not tell them about the assembly! . . . NVe had athletic talent too-I can still feel the tension and the sore throats I got at some of those football games . . . especially the Turkey Day classics. . . . Those basketball games could raise the blood pressure too . . . and I got a real bang out of rooting for the baseball team . . ,. girls' sports were just beginning to get rolling . . . they had darn good hockey, basketball and softball teams. . . . Musical talent abounded in our class also . . . our musical organizations were all top-notch . . . that Glee Club surely made us proud every time we heard them . . . especially in that supersharp operetta in ,52 . . . our band was worth its weight in trophies . . . I remember how good I felt about the representation we had at inter-school musical affairs, including a first chair at state band .... Even the talent most of the faculty considered negative served to liven up school and make it memorable . . . I wonder what happened to all those classroom com- mentators who were always ready with a wisecrack? . . . some of those kids were real characters . . . I remember the time one of the girl's hair turned green. . . . Looking back now, I think that our high school friendships were the 1HOSt valuable things we gained from those years . . . we had to learn to give and take, to help and be helped . . . some of those experiences were painful, some were the most fun we ever had . . . I guess we were so close because we were all climbing the ladder to- gether .... Step by step . . . I remember how happy I was to take the first few steps . . going from freshman, to sophomore, to the junior class .... But when the time came for the Hnal step, I was gettingjust a little reluctant . . . everything had such an air of finality . . . last first day, last football game, last mid- years, last basketball game . . . they all came and went . . . we worked in the re- freshment stand in the football park . . . sold magazines subscriptions for the class . . . ordered senior pictures and handed them out-what a frantic mess that was! . . . got measured for caps and gowns . . . ordered announcements . . . talked about Class Day and the Prom .... When the time finally came to step up for the sheepskin, I would have backed out if I could have . . . of course the last social whirl was tremendous fun, but I couldn't help wishing it weren't the end . . . oh, well, I was glad to be on my own and here I am .... Goodness, the baby's crying! You must go to see what ails that child! You jam that book back into the closet before the family catches you with your memories down. Coming, precious !', 35 . . '?

JANIES DAVIS f ag M 0 a 0 Commencement is a beginning? Maybeg but itis also the end, and from now on we must rely entirely on mem- ories to bring back four of the most precious years of our lives .... In 1949 john Heath led our class as president, joan Harro served as vice-president, janet Zimmerman was sec- retary-treasurer, and Don Bair acted as our representative to Student Council. Outward appearances would indicate that ours was an average group of students-a bit larger than most, but still not an outstanding class. WVC had the traditional party and an assembly that showed up some of our talent, but we had done nothing yet that deserved great notice. By the time our sophomore year began, the switch was thrown and the machinery was set into motion. Once more johnny was top man, with Addie Bowman as vice-president, Ann Wfentz as secretary-treasurer, and Don again representing us on Council. Fran! row, left In right: B. VVolfe, McCutcheon, M.

We chose the Lordship', as our ring, the design has since been acclaimed as one of the most beautiful ever to bear the MHS seal. As juniors we took part in events that are now history-the operetta, lVIeet Arizonaj, featured many juniors, we contributed to sports of all types, 'clVhere There's A W'ill', was our own junior play. Its success increased the treasury of the class and helped realize the Prom, which we gave for the class of '52 on May 23, 1952. We began to End ourselves in the winners' circle-the girls found fame in defeating all comers in intra-mural basketball playoffs and came up the champs! Twelve juniors were elected to the National Honor Society, the climax of years of perserveranceg nine more class members were elected in 1953. That eventful year we were led by our president Stan Doyle, vice-president Addie, secretary-treasurer Ned Wool- ford, and, for the third time, Don Bair, representative to Council. Then began the whirl of activity that was our most fruitful and final year in MHS. We chose officers for the year and forever. Although we had had reporters on the Torch staff for six years, the entire editorial board, the business staff and many of the reporters were seniors this year. The Artisan of course was completely the work of our class, nearly every organization in MHS felt the senior influence in 1952-1953. Over half the Glee Club members were seniors, also a sizeable section of the band. Seniors were prominent in every field of sports. While our varsity men piled up victories on the gridiron, many of the rest of us poured hot coffee down the throats of spectators who thronged to the refreshment stand. To further our reputations for doing things whole-heartedly, we had to break a few records. In magazine sales, for instance, our salesmanship put to shame former records of former classes. The play was another hit: The Tower Room Mystery brought in the largest Thursday night crowd in MHS history. ' Our record includes one or two things we can claim to have originated. At our first senior party we square- danced, our idea took hold, and other groups followed our lead. Another possible innovation was the field-trip craze. More than a few seniors were on hand to welcome the two leading presidential candidates when they ap- peared in Harrisburg last fall. Now it is all over. All the joys, the troubles, the jokes are out of reach. VVC are on the outside looking in, perhaps envying those who remain, perhaps regretful of some of the things we have done-but always proud of our Alma Mater, and of our Class of 1953 ....

I I O I l By passing the chance to start the school year off with a bang in chemistry or driver's education class, the juniors waited until early December to get into the spotlight. At that time they presented their class play- A Mind of Her Own? However, their memories from this school year have been adding up from the very first of the school term. For instance, during those First few weeks of language class, namely French and Spanish, manyjuniors dazedly traipsed through the halls muttering their newly learned foreign phrases. Also in the beginning of the year they proudly displayed their new class rings, The Regentf' which they had chosen in their sophomore year. Through the year the juniors advanced steadily upward in the ranks of scholarship and extra-curricular activities. After mastering chemistry, shorthand, or what have you, they turned their efforts toward intramural sports, where they literally cleaned up. Homeroom 16 proved their basketball prowess by copping the homeroom championship from senior Homeroom 20. Oh, 'twas a sad and disgusted group of seniors that eyed the juniors that day!

No, they had to go on to lick everybody in the noon volleyball tournament, tool However, sports talent wasnit the only excellence of the junior class. They broke the tradition of mangey junior assemblies by presenting an excellent program in the form of a TV show. Toward the end of the year, they threw a class party that will be remembered by all. And of course at the close of the school term they held the long-awaited social event of the year, the Junior-Senior Prom. The class of ,54 not only provided themselves with many fond memories ol' '52-'53 at MHS, but also provided every class with a few little things that will always be remembered-such as the putrid smells emitted from the chem lab, the Wilcox stunts, and the mad, beaten expressions on the faces of geometry students. However, every junior will have his own personal recollections of the year, but all will remember it as one more year that is to be shelved away and filed carefully for future reference. One more milestone has been passed on the road to graduation, and through all the strain and stress, or whatever you choose to name it, it was fun for all.

MISS BESSIE BEAR Mpfndleacfffzeway . . . With one of the largest classes in MHS, 192 sophomores found themselves near the top of the heap, and reacted in their tra- ditional good style. The sophomore treat for the year was their presentation of A Cake for johnnyf' a play, which was the main course of the soph assembly. Solos, dances and instrumental numbers rounded out the program. The whole show won local fame when it was presented to New Cumberland High as an exchange assembly. Doing everything in a big way, the sophs turned their long-awaited class party into a gala celebration in the gym, April 17. This class seemed to have more than its share of Hbrainsf, Their representation on Honor Roll listings was noteworthy. For the second successive year a member of the Class of '55 took second place in the annual MHS Spelling Bee. The new biology lab was first invaded by sophs, who have learned to chop up frogs with the best of us! F mn lrow, lcfl lo right: L. Meals, Hoffman, Neidhammer, W.

These fellows have shown their prowess in nearly every sport and in field day exhibitions. Sophomores outnumbered even the seniors on the varsity cheerleading squad. Five sophs helped rouse encouragement for our boysf' home or away, rain or shine. Miss Bessie Bear, class dean, was pleased with the enthusiasm displayed by the Class of '55 in everything they attempted- selection of a class ring, participation in publications or assemblies, and all-round representation in school activities. Too many cooks are said to spoil the broth, but the sophs have disproved that-they entered wholeheartedly into whatever was asked of them and should prove to be an asset to their Alma Mater. v Front row, left lo right: Baker, Shingler, Parsell, Drawbaugh, Eslinger, Smith, Good, Humes, Myers, lN.

Mr. Smith. a aleaamcf... With bewildered but determined attitudes, the freshmen that were new to the halls of MHS, along with the ones to whom the building had become familiar in the last two years, entered into the swing of school life. After the confusion of the movement in the halls between classes was solved for the fresh frosh, they went all-out to master the new courses fand teachersj that they found facing them. The home economics building, the shops and the cafeteria, which were new to many, soon became old stamping grounds for all. Latin and algebra slowly and surely unfolded their mysteries to the frosh. Of course, along with the scholastic end of school life came the new opportunity for social activities. For some of them, their first big date was in the school year ,52-,53 when they attended dances for the first time. The frosh quickly took advantage of the many activities which were open to them.

Exhibiting talent in all areas, the program included the play, 'gShock of His Life, accordion players, dancers and other musicians. Aclorsi Hume, Hulse .Alccordionis1s.' Bottolnlee, Rittner mike! They enjoyed their first class party, a high spot of the term for most of them. The presentation of their class assembly in january was a hit and will be remembered, not only by the freshmen, but by the members of other classes. Yes, the class of '56-which sounds a long way oil, but really isn't-has started off on the right foot in the search for selllim- provement. Their memories of '52-'53 are many and varied-almost all of them having to do with the satisfaction of having successfully completed a year of study mixed with fun. And with this class, there will be plenty more study and fun to come! Frou! row, lcf! Io righl: Klinger, S. Nailor, Poe, Shelley, Curtin, Zimmerman, Ruoss, Meredith, Hopple, Marshall, C. Darr, M.

After Ken's departure for the village, Jack discovers Myra Vernon searching for a hidden treasure which is hers by right of inheritance. From time to time a raving but fascinating madwoman, trailed by her keeper, wanders into the tower room searching for her lost poodle. The servants overhear Myra telling of the treasure. We're gonna find that gold and it's gonna be ours, snaps Andrew as he trusses up his victims. Suddenly the vampire appears, accompanied by two of his wives, jack manages to free himself and forces the vampire to explain. It seems Ken has hired a troop of actors to play a joke. A car is coming! It's Ken! Jack hides under the bear rug, Myra behind the panel. Kate pretends she has been bitten by the vampire, but Ken soon discovers their deception. The police arrive in time to keep the servants from making an escape. The treasure is discovered and jack and lNlyra decide to keep the castle and the treasure in the same family, thus giving The Tower Room Mystery the promised happy ending. 59 Abatie: The vampire's victim Below: NVho's the victim?

VARSITY FOOTBALL MHS 16 Swatara 6 By defeating the Swatara Eagles for the eighth straight time, the Wildcats continued their dominance over the team that has won the Lower Susquehanna Conference championship for the past two seasons. Early in the second period, after a fumble recovery, Ned Wool- ford scored the first TD of the season on an end run. Irv Alexander blasted off left tackle for the extra point. In the third quarter, by virtue of Ron Hartis fumble recovery on Swatara's 26, Alexander scored on a plunge through the left side of the line. Doyle added the extra point on a place kick. The Wildcats collected their last two points when Doyle blocked an intended Eagle punt in the opponent's end zone. MHS 18 Western 'I Mechanicsburg easily defeated Western High of Washington, D. C. by an 18-7 score. ' After a scoreless first period, the Cats chalked up two TD's in the second quarter. Seconds after the opening of the second period, Alexander rushed over right tackle to end a 40-yard march. The 'Wildcat offense again showed its power as Alexander con- cluded a 67-yard drive by smashing over left tackle for his second TD. In the last quarter Bob Stansfield blocked a Western puntg big Bud Kohlhaas grabbed the deflected ball in mid-air and gal- loped 15 yards for the final touchdown. MHS 20 Middletown O Sparked by the speed of halfbacks Woolford and Alexander and the brainy quarterbacking of Brad Wright, the Cats downed Middletown by a lopsided 2040 score. Mechanicsburg's first tally came in the second period as Alex- ander took a pitch-out from VV right and dashed around right end for four yards and a TD. Stan Doyle's conversion was good. After receiving the opening kickoff of the second half, the Wildcats drove down the field to the two, where Ned Woolford plunged off right tackle for the score. Doyle again added the PAT. Soon afterward, Woolford skirted left end, cut back, and, with the help of key blocks by Alexander and Hart, side-stepped and spun his way through a host of would-be tacklers to gallop 70 yards for the longest run of the season.

MHS O Hershey 7 The Wildcats' first conference game was also their first loss of the season, as Hershey edged out a 7-0 victory. Except for Hersheyis third period offensive spree, the game was a battle of defense. Mechanicsburg dominated the Trojans in all statistics and came within inches of a TD in the second quarter. After a pass from Wright to Woolford, which sailed 30 yards, the first half gun stopped with the Wildcats on the Trojan four-yard line. The breaks went to Hershey in the third period as they charged for 50 yards in a few key plays, with Capitani plunging for the only score of the evening. Brad Wright and his receivers, Woolford and Stansfield, netted 54 yards on four pass completions. Bud Kohlhaas and Paul Murphy played a brick-wall defense. MHS 12 Hanover 6 Coach Frederickis Wildcats, out to avenge the tie by the Nighthawks in 1951, dealt the favored Hanover eleven their first defeat of the season by a 12-6 score. The first half was mostly a defensive and punting battle as Dale Vogelsong's kicks kept Hanover out of scoring territory. With only seconds to play, the Wildcats passed their way to the Hanover 30-yard line. Wildcat strategy outwitted Hanover as Alexander went around right in one of the oldest plays in the book-the Statue of Liberty-to give lvfechanicsburg a 6-0 half-time lead. Hanover tied the score in the third period. When NIHS rooters were sweating for fear thc game would end in a tie, Alexander inter- cepted a Hanover pass and raced down the sideline, untouched, for 60 yards and the winning TD. B ARTIN, Jr. High Conrh STENGER, Jr. High Corzrh 73 MHS 19 New Cumberland 0 Showing great offensive power, Mechanics- burg rolled over previously undefeated New Cumberland by a 19-0 margin. After success- ful passes from VVr-ight to Don Potteiger and Bob Stansfield, Alexander went over from the five for the only score of the first half. Paced by the powerful running of fullback Gerald Wood, the Wildcats scored in the third as Alexander again plunged from inside the five. In the fourth quarter, M-burg's hard-charg- ing line displayed its power as Stan Doyle blocked a Tiger punt and Paul Murphy dropped on the ball in the end zone for the third TD. Ronnie Hart added the PAT. MHS 24 Waynesboro 9 Mecl1anitxsburg's powerful running and magnificent passing proved too much for Waynesboro as the Cats smothered them by the wide margin, 24-9. Early in the game Alexander scored from 20 yards out. The Cats were successful again when Brad Wright completed his first of three touchdown passes. Alexander scored. In the second quarter Wright connected to Gerald Wood to give M-burg an 18-0 half- time lead. Early in the third period, Wright hit Bob Stansfield for the final TD. Coach Frederick then cleared the bench. Waynesbords lone touchdown came on the last play of the game when they plunged against MHS reserves. 4 JOHN WOLFE, IIonora1yCaDlu1fu DON BAIR STAN DOYLE Swnegaewidiqiuahea... MHS 27 Shippensburg 6 Although hampered by penalties, Nfechanicsburg used reserves for a great part of the game and easily defeated Shippensburg 2.7-6. First scoring came on a Wright-to-Wood pass in the first quarter. Mark Basehore, who also handled the kick-off chores, booted the PAT. Shortly before the half, Don Potteiger skirted left end for 10 yards and a TD. Basehore again added the cxtra point. After a 67-yard march, Wright, on a quarterback sneak, scored the third TD. Basehore added his third straight conversion. In the fourth quarter, Wright again went over on a sneak to end a 49-yard drive. Basehore failed, for the Hrst time, to add the PAT. MHS 6 Gettysburg 0 Even though a strong wind hampered their pass offense, Mech- anicsburg extended their winning streak to five and continued their commendable defensive record as they defeated Gettysburg, 1951 champs of thc South Penn. The only score of the contest came in the second period when Gerald Wood, who had started the Wildcat's 52-yard drive with a pass interception, crashed over the right side of the line from the two. Although greatly outweighed by the opposing line, the Wildcat line-men and punter Bob Enck kept Gettysburg's scoring threat to a minimum. PAUL MURPHY DICK QUIGLEY DALE VOGELSONG 74 RONNIE HART JOHN HEATH RAY HOFFMAN ...z.Mxz,,.Wezaz MHS 26 Chambersburg 0 Mechanicsburg won their ninth game and compiled their highest score of the season as they beat Chambersburg by a one- sided 26-0 score. This was the Cats' first victory on the Trojan field for years. After an alert defensive team had recovered a fumble and intercepted a Trojan pass, the Wildcats commanded a 12-0 lead while the game was still only eight minutes old. Following john Heath's pass interception, Wright connected with a 23-yard pass to Woolford for the first score. After a 22-yard drive, Gerald Wood plunged from the four for the second tally. In the third period, after missing the intended handoff, quarter- back Wright pounded his way across the goal line and then passed to Paul Murphy for the extra point. The final touchdown came in the last quarter when Wood again blasted the Trojan line for the final two yards of a long Wildcat drive. Stan Doyle's conversion produced the final score of the evening. MHS 6 Carlisle 28 VVhen they defeated the Cats 28-6, the Thundering Herd of Carlisle, boasting the league's leading scorers, Cypress and Smith, capitalized on M-burg fumbles and collected as many points as the 10 other Wildcat opponents combined. The lVildcats were far from outplayed, as they surpassed the Herd in rushing yardage and first downs Q10-81. Three of Carlislels TD's resulted from fumbles, and not once did their highly rated running offense break the Mechanicsbuitg line for a score. The Cats scored first as they took the opening kickoff and chugged down the field to the five, where Alexander raced around left end for the score. MHS opened the second half with a 90-yard drive from their own five, only to be stopped when Cypress snatched a Wildcat fumble and galloped untouched for a 97-yard touchdown. Despite the bitter result of the Turkey Day game, the Wildcats could boast an impressive season of nine wins and only two losses. Through hard and relentless work, Coach Frederick produced a strong offense and the best defense in the Conference. He de- serves mueh credit for a team that was not once outplaycd. BARRY VVEIGLE NED VVOOLFORD BRAD VVRIGHT 75 we'ue afeam... JUNIOR VARSITY FOOTBALL Outscoring their opponents and losing only one game to Conference opposition, the junior Varsity football team made a record of three wins and three losses. Getting off to a good start, the llayvees won their first game from Shippensburg by a 14-0 score. Bill Bitner scored the first TD on a 30-yard end run. Don Beitzel plunged for the second, and Bitner added the extra points. After a scoreless first half, New Cumberland exploded with a 75-yard gallop in the third period to give the Junior Cats their first setback of the season by a 7-0 margin. Without the services of QB Marty Myers, M-burg's offense failed to click as they lost their next game to Chambersburg, 13-0. Boiling Springs, with the aid of varsity players, edged out the Cats 7-0 for their third straight loss. Recovering from three successive losses, the Wildcats roared back to win their last two games by defeating Camp Hill 13-0 and Carlisle 6-0. In the Camp Hill game, Jim Tyson, TViIdcat left tackle, recovered two fumbles and went 40 and 52 yards for the NI-burg TD's. Charlie Deitch scored the PAT. Dan X'Ventz intercepted three Lion passes, and Bob Brackbill did a real job of backing up the line. Wfith their defense holding the Carlisle offense to a minimum, the Junior Varsity closed the season by defeating Carlisle 6-0. A Brackbill-to-Malone pass put the VVi1dcats in scoring position in the third quarter, and on the next play John lN1ackey went 20 yards for the only score of the game.

IIo1wrnryCap!ain JACK BANIS RICK SHINGLER . . . .muefzwnzzwyzm The VVildcats, having endured a poor basketball season with four wins and fourteen losses, seemed to lack good team spirit throughout much of the campaign. Coach Seibert could not pick the five best players for starting positions be- cause of the equal abilities of practically the entire team. Much action was seen by the reserves. Opening the season on their home court against Camp Hill, the YVildcats lost a heart-breaker 31-30. The Cats clawed valiantly until the fourth quarter when Camp Hill checked them and squeezed out a victory. MHS couldn't shake the fourth quarter blues as john Harris dealt them a 63-43 loss and Steelton won over the Cats by a 44-35 score. The Cats dropped their conference debut to VVaynesboro. Careless defensive work was the deciding factor as they were edged by a 49-48 score. The Maroon and Steel quintet fell before the Thundering Herd from Carlisle, 59-47, after trailing by only one point at half-time. The Wildcats looked good in the first half of the Hershey gameg they led a strong Trojan five by 11 points. In the last stanza the Cats c0uldn't find the range and lost 44-28. The Cats finally chalked up a victory by trouncing Shippens- burg 72-55. Don Kauffman tied the floor record by netting 31 points. MHS had little luck in the remaining three games. At Gettysburg the Cats suffered a 54-35 deficit. The towering Trojans from Chambersburg came from behind to win 55-47. On the Hanover Hoor the Cats lost their aim and the game, as they came out on the short end ol' a 53-39 score. At Steelton the hiaroon and Steel tried to avenge their loss earlier in the season, bttt Steelton, making a great percentage of their foul shots, won 51-48. Playing host to X'Vaynesboro in the Hrst game of the second half, the Cats won easily at 53-40. However, they dropped the next one to Carlisle, suffering a 69-53 defeat. Hershey followed suit as they hit the cords for 54 points, while the Wildcats netted only 39. VVinless Shippcnsburg fell 61-51 as M-burg, seeming to get new life, scored 30 points in the fourth period. Then first place Gettysburg came to town with a 4-0 record. The Cats really caught fire and seemed to be in control through- out the game. Dale Vogelsong cinehed the game in the re- maining minutes when he scored two quick buckets on fast breaks. Dale and Rick Shingler were high with 12 and 14 points, respectively. ' Chambersburg put out the fire of the Alma Mater's spirit by drowning MHS 88-49. The Cats were unable to revive com- pletely and lost a close one to Hanover 60-54 to end the season. TOM ULRICH DALE VOGELSONG BILL XYHITEFORD QHIELDS lr.

HOCKEY Three scoreless ties featured the hockey season, as the Girls' Varsity hockey team won one game, lost one and played three draws. Susquehanna, the one rival able to hit paydirt, banged the entire five goals into the cage in a single encounter on the winner's field. A home-and-away series with Middletown proved nothing either way as both games ended in scoreless draws. A home match with Camp Hill ended with both goalies getting a shutout. The local aggregation blasted Enola 3-0 for their only win of the season and all but one of their goals. The girls scored a mere four points all season, but their opponents scored only five. The Junior Varsityls only game saw the local lasses losing 4-O to Dillsburg.
