K. . -VM .. T' 4 iv ,W L., M TH MECHANICSBURG' The class of l958 has a particularly gratifying opportunity to say thanks in the dedication of this yearbook. Not often enough do young people tangibly acknowl- edge the concern and the kindness of their elders. But it is our good fortune- to be in the right place at the right timeg moreover, it is our good sense to seize the opportunity and dedicate this volume of the Artisan to the townspeople of Mechanicsburg. Our magnificent high school symbolizes the combined efforts and resources of many interested people, some of whom do not reside here. However, the physical realization of the planners was made possible only because of the academic fore- sight and the financial backing of local residents, whose taxes, time, and talent were employed in the fulfillment of this worthy project. This edifice is satisfying to the eye. Its principal ingredients- the students-will, we trust, soothe the other senses by hearing, heeding, and speaking truthg by tasting the wealth of life's most stimulating experiencesg by feeling the beauty in the world without being blinded to its flaws: by smelling our dear earth and vowing to save her for freedom, come what may. You have given us the tool which will for many years continue to forge these attitudes. With humility, with gratitude, with pride-we thank you. ,I-f ' .-f FINE MINDS MAKE BIG DECISIONS ilk Standing left to right: J.

T HE BO RD OF EDUCATIO We, the class of l958, are deeply grateful to the Board of Edu- cation that we are privileged to spend our senior year in this fine new building, which is the result of their thoughtful plan- ning, hard work, and judicious handling of the taxpayers' money. At the same time, the Board, by renovating and refurnishing the old high school building, has provided a separate building for junior high school pupils, which is an asset to our educational pI'OgI'2l IH. Wlc cannot begin to count the number of hours spent in plan- ning the innumerable details necessary for such an undertaking to be carried to a successful conclusion. This undoubtedly has meant for each of them giving up personal desires and pleasures for the benefit of the community. The results of their devotion are evident to anyone entering the new high school building. Beautiful furniture. modern offices, and a well co-ordinated color scheme work together to produce one of the most attrac- tive schools in this area. New industries and constantly expanding building developments are ever bringing new families, many of them with young chil- dren-, to the area. Our Board of Education will no doubt next with the problem of classes overflowing our present ele- facilities. W'ithin the forseeable future, they may have be faced mentary is to to consider the construction of new elementary accommodation to take care of these children. Wle are eonhdent that they will continue in the future as they have in the past to provide the Mechanicsburg area with the best educational advantages possible. 6 CARL R. KOCH James Russell Lowell has said, The better part of any man's education is that which he gives himself. Does this imply that the new building illustrated within these covers is unnecessary? That good teachers are unimportant? That at- tendance at school for a specific number of years is a waste of time? Obviously, Mr. Lowell intended no conclusions such as those intimated above. He emphasized The better part as secured through self- instruction. Guidance, drill, memorization, reci- tation, outlines are all a fundamental portion of our learning, but that which is most meaning- ful, permanent, and pleasurable grows from the indiyidual's personal accomplishment and dis' covery. During the first year at Senior High School, we have encountered adversities unforeseen, because of disruption of school activities, etc. However, we feel that definite strides have been made in establishing a pattern of living in our second home. ln determining the most desirable guides for our daily activities, suggestions have been offered and, in many cases, adopted after trial. The key to success in any venture involving sev- eral hundred students is the individual's willing- ness to work on self-discipline, self-improvement in academics, activities, and personal contacts. We have traveled far on this road, hilt there are many paths yet to be charted. May you take pride in your contributions to the welfare of MHS and determine that you will be most dili- gent in that better part of a man's education. Nile are on the threshold of a new era of techno- logical progress. It is so easy to be intrigued by new mechanisms, bewildered by gadgets, and busy with television, tax problems, etc. However, a need that far exceeds all of these involvements is that we as individuals retain our respect for mankind and work in all Helds of human en- deavor with a conquering spirit. VVe must be sure to understand that democracy is not an heirloom which can be passed from one generation to another. Each generation must protect the right to be free in war or in peace, and the cost may be high. All great achievements demand hard work and sacrihce. Your accomplishments in school have been many. These we acknowledge with sincere thanks and appreciation. Graduation will offer you many ada ditional opportunities to demonstrate the no- bility of work and the dignity of human service. As you look to the future, even. so the future looks to you. M70 covet for all of you the very best. CARL L. GRAHAM OUR COUNSELORS ELIZABETH W. LASSEN How to invest one's life is too vital a thing to leave to chance. Have you made plans for investing yours? Education is like a building. Your new senior high- school building didn't just happen. It is the com- posite result of long-range planning to the end that you might have the advantages of the best educa- tional facilities within the range of the financial resources of this community. To achieve this goal, more thought had to be given to planning, to laying a solid foundation., to erecting a durable structure of functional worth, and to eye- appeal features. Each individ- ual brick in this building has a specific job to do. As the complexities of living multiply, it becomes ever more imperative for you to explore, choose, and plan, so that you might make the greatest possible positive contribution to society commensurable with your per- sonal resources. Will your building of the fu- ture be a hollow shell behind fine veneer or will it reflect, as does this school, methodical planning, wise use of available materials, and skillful workman- ship? WILLIAM D. DENTON Countless authors have written ,about and orators have talked about the limitless opportunities for the young graduate as he enters into full member- ship in our society. Certainly, it cannot be denied that opportunities are boundless in this land of ours. Yet, in spite of this fact, more abilities are wasted, more talents remain untapped than ever before. YVhy? Because many are content to drift along the easiest path, letting their futures be de- termined by chance rather than by creating their own futures through careful planning, truth- ful self-analysis, and the utmost utilization of their experiences. The student who takes courses for credits, rather than a desire for knowledge, the typist who leaves a letter uncompleted be- cause the clock has struck five, the worker who does shoddy work where it won't show-to them opportunity is limited. The person who constantly strives to better himself, who does a good job because of pride in accomplishment -to hin1 op- portunity has no limit. Plan your futures well, but, re member, there are no free rides to success. Mrs, ELEANOR BENNETT English WILLIAM BRUBAKER Social Studies Student Council, JV Basketball JAMES B.

Now we are about to be graduated. Soon we'll be going out into the big, wonderful, sometimes cruel world to make a place for our- selves. We'll be very busy then, and sometimes we'll seem to forget we were ever in high school. But there will also be times when, meeting a colleague of old, we'll begin to reminisce to- gether. Remember: when we were freshmen absorbed in our study of Cy1'ano and the Odesseyg and who could forget our trip to Philadelphia, where we saw nIost of the recommended sights and also some unrecommended switchblade-carrying gangs, who for a while left some of the more timid members of our class wondering why they ever came to the City of Brotherly Love P After that came our first class assembly in which we showed off the variety of talent in our gifted class' talent show topped off with a play. We can't forget our ofhcers, President, Dave Troupg Vice President, Kathy lVIacPhersong Sec- retary-Treasurer, -Ioyce Hoffmasterg and Council Representative, Andrea Dean. Remember: when we were sophomores trying to get relatives to please help out the class and buy at least one box of wrapping paper? Then we put on our assembly to top all other assemblies, The 64,000 Peso Question, written and di- rected by our own classIIIates. For our field trip we went to Washington, D. C. The hard fought campaign over which class ring, Eldorado or Cornet, would be ours was finally won by the jubilant supporters of the Eldorado. Our leaders in all these doings were President, Kathy Mac- Pherson, Vice-President, Gerry Harvey, Secretary- Treasurer, Barbara Hess: and Council Repre- sentative, I. Eberly. Remember: when we were juniors, extremely proud and happy over the tremendous acting in our play Dear Ruth, although it might have had more class support. We gave our all to sell peanuts so that the Prom wouldn't be held in the gym. We'll never forget our assembly or the boys doing The Banana Boat-Song - bananas and all. The Prom, who can forget it? That dreamy night, dancing to the music of Don Peo- ples. Our officers were President, Ed Rife: Secre- tary-Treasurer, Carolyn Wrightstoneg and Coun- cil Representative, Richard Mowery. We A ,A lr:-... Rememlzerr our Senior year? We'll never forget it. NVe entered into the first day in the new senior high building under the capable leadership of Ed Rife, Presidentg Gerry Harvey, Vice-Presi- dentg Mary Noss, Secretary-Treasurer, and Jack t if vii Thompson, Council Representative. Soon the new sights became as familiar as the old. We rang doorbells again, only this time we were sell- ing magazines. How often in the future will the memories of those coed gym classes and the mad scrambles for hot dogs in the refreshment stand at half-time, along with the after-effects of pick- ing up the paper, be recalled to us? The Hallowa een parade was reigned over by our smiling queen Gussie Neff and her princesses, Bev and Joyce. Then came the groans at the first sight of the senior pictures. But true to a photographers tradition, Mr. Hunter came through with the best from the very least. We came through with a tremendous senior play, Teen Antics , which everyone said was the best ever, and then the Prom held at Hershey. Q.Thanks, nluniorsll Last but not least came the long anticipated Class Day. Now the greatest of all years has come to an end. Soon we'll have Baccalaureate and hnally Com- mencement, that tearful night when we become alumni and the hrst class to be graduated from the new Senior High. 4- ' As .,,,,..,......f... --s---.::...v ':l WY I PATSY ANN BARNINGER Secretarial April 29, 1940 Pat was a perky baton twirler who could usually be found with Carol and Jeannette. In the evenings she was kept busy with her favorite subject, short- hand, or tapping the piano keys. Dur- ing wrestling matches she might come out with darn it to an unfavorable decision. Was she or was she not pre- pared for those bookkeeping classes? Sparetime pleasures are comprised of harkening to Perry Como's records or eating some good southern fried chick- en. We're sure any insurance office will be proud to have Pat as a setcretary. - Band, Sr. Chorus, Art Service Club. WALLACE CRAIG BITNER Academic May l, 1940 Bit, with cheerfulness for 'all, was the tough and ready center for the Wild- cats. Besides being an amicable kind of guy. he is blessed with a sonorous bass voice and outstanding acting abil- ity. Craig was the life of his section, his activities, and possibly the whole senior class. His chief interests are food, English, and sports. Dating seems to relax him. His eleven immortal words in his junior play role will live forever in our minds. College appears in his future plans. Keep going, Craig! -JV and V Football, Baseball, Q-B Club, Jr. Play, Class Assemblies, Soph. Ring Committee, Glee Club. ELAINE ANNETTE BENDER Academic January 1, 1941 Lanie, as she is known to her fellow English-sufferers, is a good prospect for nursing profession. Always willing to improve her mind, she has taken up reading as one of her hobbies. Most of her spare time is spent listening to records, singling out those of Johnny Mathis. Elaine enjoyed la class fran- cais. Her favorite spectator sport is football: participating sport, tennis. She continually looked forward to those study halls, where she engaged in frivo- lous antics with Dee and Pyke.-Glee Club, FNA, FTA, Tri-Hi-Y, Feature Editor Artisan, ALBERT CHARLES BOOK Academic August 31, 1940 Bookie, our most industrious guy, is an avid wildcat fan and clarinet virtuoso. He spends his leisure moments dating, listening to records, or eating. A fre- quent name on the honor roll, Bookie excelled in all of his subjects. In the summer, Bookie may be seen basking in the sun at the pool on his free days from H. J.'s. He was often seen with Dave, Mitch, or Dick all year though. The little tykes of tomorrow will hnd him a helpful and understanding teach- er after he graduates from Shippens- burg.-Co-editor Artisan, Glee Club, Choraliers, County Chorus, Band, FTA, Jr. Play, Class Assemblies, Torch, As- sembly Band. FRANCIS MERVIN BISHOP Industrial Arts April Fr, 1938 Dim the lights! Curtain! These and other instructions became the creed of Buzz as competent stage crew manager. Humes, Spahr, Rupp, and Bish are known as the frolicsome foresome. It seems they're always messed up in something. Buzz was a star on the gridiron and outstanding in many other things. He has an easy-going manner and congenial ways. Always smiling and ready to help, his classmates found him very cooperative. His future plans at this point seem to include a hitch in the Air Force. -Q-B Club, V Foot- ball, Stage crew. NANCY JANE BRUNNER Secretarial August 19, 1940 Nancy excelled in typing and short- hand, although she favored English. Together with her buddies Janet, Ned- ra, and Lois, she yelled herself hoarse in support of the Wildcats. She has an exceptional craving for french fries and steak. A Joni James fan, Nancy also enjoys dancing, swimming, and read- ing. On school nights she was engaged in her work at the Plaza. Next day she would exclaim, I don't have my homework done. Wonder why? She will undoubtedly gladden her tired boss' heart with her cheerful smile in her career as a secretary. - Tri-Hi-Y, Artisznz. WILLIAM ALBERT BURRIDGE September 29, 1940 Drums, drag-racing, girls, and any oth- er enlightening subjects capture the interest of our Gene Krupa. Bill Commercial spends his summers exercising his green thumb at Stephenson's Green- house. He likes nothing better than to put his worries behind him and zoom off to Hummelstown for a day of boat- ing. He enjoys playing football and baseball or running around in his green Olds with the three Jacks. Dur- ing his school years he was dennitely an asset to the drum section of our school band. After graduation Bill as- pires to wear the Air Force Blue.- Band, Dance Band, Assembly Band, JV Football. JEAN ELENA CADWALLADER Clerical February 3, 1940 Jean, who is very handy with the brush, was usually found in Mr. Kirk's domain. If you stopped long enough to glance into our school showcase, you would have noticed her many fine ex- hibits decorating the windows. She thoroughly enjoys a good football game and often lent a helping hand in the concession stand. Although her spare time was spent Uslinging sodas at Diehl's, she found time to pay a very beneficial visit to Norfolk, Virginia, where she was severely stricken by St. Cupid. The case swiftly developed into an impending marriage.-Art Service Club. Showcase. KAY ILENE BUSHEY Academic April 20, 1940 A mighty mite from Grantham, Kay enjoys working and being with chil- dren. This will dehnitely be an asset to her on the road to nursing. She al- ways excelled in Spanish and could usually be found on the honor roll with the rest of the scholars. Sechrist, O'Handley, and Bushey, despite Kay's reputation for being quiet and re- served, were behind many a prank de- livered around MHS. She enjoys col- lecting coins, but then, who doesn't like money? She finds reading and lis- tening to recordings refreshing. Holy Crow we wish her success in the fu- ture! -- FNA. KAY CAROLYN CLAPSADDLE Clerical February 16, 1940 Kay, a petite MHS gal, was a hearty rooter for the maroon and steel. Holi- day turkey dinners always delight her. During the summer months Kay was a diligent worker at Seidle Memorial Hospital. Her hobbies are reading, dancing, and listening to records. She was a member of the happy four, the other three of whom are Pat O'Neill, Diane Morris and Lois Minnich. Kay's future plans are to enter the secre- tarial Held of life where her interest for typing will be put to good use.- Tri-Hi-Y, Torch. KENNETH RAY BUSHEY Industrial Arts October 12, 1938 Everyone knew Rats by his jovial na- ture and pleasing personality. One of his many assets was the ability to make people laugh, which he did sometimes to the complete exasperation of his teachers. His joys are drag racing, col- lecting coins, and eating spaghetti. When he says Roger, you know everything is okay. Being one of Mr. SaIe's handy-hands, he helped keep the stage lights under control. The sum- mer found him working in Bushey's store and running around with his buddies. Soon his father's business will come under co-ownership.-Stage Crew. JOAN MARIE CULP Secretarial July 26, 1940 Joan, a future secretary, excelled in shorthand. Filled with vim, vigor, and vitality, she was a familiar sight among the peppy cheerleaders. She wasn't very fond of homework and could be heard to say, Oh well, what the heck, if the teachers went overboard with it. She loves to swimg she loves to dance, espe- cially to the records of the Four Fresh- men. Murphy's have found her a plea- sant asset when it comes to customer relations. She seems to radiate her per- sonality and cheerfulness on everyone she's with.-Cheerleaders, Soph Ring Committee. JANET LOUISE DAVIES Academic August 19, 1940 There was no doubt that janet, head majorette, NHS member, dancer, and seamstress, would obtain the title of most all-around girl of the class of '58. Along with all these talents and hon- ors, janet has been blessed with a neat appearance and wholesome personality. In the little spare time that she has, Nave enjoys being with Bev, Carol, and Nina and making frequent trips to the post otIice's out of town depository. Syracuse University will be janet's abode while she climbs the ladder of higher education to a career in nurs- ing.-Band, Glee Club, Torch, Co- editor Artisan, FNA, Tri-Hi-Y, County Chorus, Jr. Play, Class Assemblies, Amateur Assemblies, Soph Ring Com- mittee. NHS. DANIEL BRADFORD DRAWBAUGH Academic December 9, 1940 Danny, brain incorporated, has let the world of physics and chemistry influ- ence his life. His life-long ambition is to study engineering at Bucknell Uni- versity. He had many after school ses- sions in the lab, furthering his knowl- edge. But in addition to his liking of science classes, he enjoyed the time spent in the teacherless P.O.D. classes with his section friends. An outdoors- man, he likes moments spent playing sports and driving. We may read about him in the future having uncovered a new phase in the world of science.- JV Football, V Baseball, Artisan, Rifle Club, NHS. ANDREA LOUISE DEAN Academic September 15, 1940 Andy, the most talented girl in the senior class, has a definite ear for mu- sic. Where there's singing, you can usually find Andy tickling the ivories.

She truly enjoyed English class, but we suspect there was a strong at- traction for Mr. Minnich's P.O. D. At football games, she was right in there cheering the team on to victory. The most used expression of her knowledge is, I don't know. In spare moments, she likes to spin a few -platters and check her hope chest.

Dancing to the popular re- cordings of the Platters, watching football games, or soaking up knowl- edge in Professor Minnich's P.O.D. classes kept her busy.

They participated strongly not only in the band .md glee club, but also in football, basketball and wrestling. In addition, many College-minded juniors tackled geometry, chemistry, and a language while tommerctial students plugged away at shorthand and bookkeeping. As juniors, one of their hrst thrills was receiving their class rings. They then met the challenge ol' pro- ducing a junior play and, despite a ilu epidemic which Caused many Cancellations, made it a huge success. Inunediately alter the junior play came the annual peanut sale which helped fatten their treasury and pay for the junior-Senior Prom.

They contributed to the hand and glee club and added much needed strength to the athletic teams. ln their first adventures in the biology lah, the Sophs displayed an unusual enthusiasm for dissecting frogs. Scholastically, they catne through in hue lashion and a member ol' the class took second place in the spelling bee. They proved their salesmanship in the Christmas card and wrapping sale, and fatteued their treasury in anticipa- tion of their senior year. Alter they decided on their class ring, they waited patiently for their delivery. The class of '60 tackled everything they were requested to do with enthusiasm and we wish them luck in the coming years at MHS.

This year's stage crew had the privilege of working with new equipment and a new stage. Sets for the annual junior and senior plays, as well as sketches given by various clubs, are all taken care ol by these boys. Lights, curtain, and sound are all a part of their job. Another of their many duties is running the projector for -classroom use. Thanks, boys, for your service and dependability. First Row fleft to rightj: Don Eagler, Don Heighes, Ken Bushcy.

He delays, stalls, starts and stops, invents excuses, and generally tries to avoid finishing the dreary affair. In a good book, the reader laces a similar plight, but for very different reasons. Again he avoids ending the ex- perience, but his reason this time is that he hates to say goodbye to a happy time. He pauses and slows down, hoping that so doing will permit this rewarding experience to continue forever. But, alas-nothing is forever in this age of rapid and radical change. The Artisan staff hopes that their efforts will Put this book into the second category and that their class- mates and the good townspeople, to whom this volume is dedicated, will part company from these pages only with reluctance and effort. Speaking of reluctance, let us assure our relatives and friends in town that we leave our beautiful new school reluctantly. Of course we're eager to get on with 'this business of living, but we are nevertheless, grateful for our opportunities here and sorry to say goodbye. VVith high spirits and great determination, the Class of '58 leaves Mechanics- burg, Pennsylvania to pursue new careers and to con- quer new horizons in far-flung places. However, this will always be home and you who saw ht to educate us well in these luxurious surroundings will ever be precious to us. Thank you and be assured you'll hear from us again. NVe're going to make you proud. SENIOR I 2 .aff ..--mit FW! . t 'Es ...fa-w F REWELL VQGXQE wi 355 1 ,, I nge A I we-aawiw-fm A E - We Harrisburg Coca-Cola Bottling Works Inc.
