Spirit, an abstract, can only be personified by symbols like our school. It is the culmination of pride, the beginning of satisfaction. Vital in our educational growth, it engenders the awareness that life itself is composed of a series of ideals forming the basis for under- standing. Spirit is the dominating influence in our lives--- that com- modity building the standards and values which we shall never for- This, then, is our theme.

KOCH Principal's Responsibilities Aprincipal's first and most important re- sponsibility is supervision of the program of instruction in his building. Before the school year officially begins, he is on the job, helping in the screening and selection of new staff members, if the need arises, adjusting schedules, checking supplies and equipment to make sure sufficient paper, pencils, maps, chalk, chemicals, and so forth are available. The principal of today is unable to concern himself solely with the educational program. Instead, much of his time is spent in listening to salesmen, in doing paper work such as annual reports for the state and nation, and in taking care of all the little odds and ends which occur daily to upset his schedule. Public relations concern a principal as well as a superintendent, although in a more personal sense. He must be aware of the feelings of parents and citizens and be available to ex- plain to them the purposes and ideals of the school. A large part of his out-of-school time is taken up with reading, attending conventions and listening to constructive suggestions of school personnel in an attempt to keep abreast of the times. As head of the senior high school, he has final say in the school's curricular activities. He must see that practices and money-making projects of numerous clubs, teams, and play casts don't interfere with each other. In short, a principal is a jack-of-all- trades, doing everything from revising schedules to pushing a broom in an emergency. Superintendent's Responsibilities A superintendent's responsibilities are seemingly endless, but actually fall into a few general categories, the first of which is curri- cula. These are obviously of primary im- portance, for he must see to it that the separate schools are well coordinated in relation to their courses and methods and that the total picture is one of a well-balanced education for each in- dividual. To guarantee the latter, good teachers are needed. As part of his work, the superin- tendent aids in the screening and selection of applicants and makes recommendations to the board. Another major category, and headache, is the budget. After the proposed budget of each school is put into his hands, the chief decides which items are essential and which ones may be omitted in order to keep within the funds allotted. Economy also fits into this category because good housekeeping is necessary to keep expenses low. The superintendent also acts as a mediator between the community as a whole and the school. He interprets the educational needs and desires into concrete facts and places them be- fore the board. To discover these needs he attends community affairs of all types. With all these activities, he is lucky to have a few free evenings a month with his family. His day begins at 6 o'clock in the morning and may not end until midnight. It's definitely not a part-time job. CARL L. GRAHAM Standing from left to right: Mr. George W. Cain Jr., Mr. Theo- dore Trimmer, Mr. Clyde Strock, Mr. Wayne Bishop, Mr. William E.

Those workers were ready to start six years of hard labor in preparation for the . time when they would be graduated from this domain. Some carried books and notebooks, others pencils and paper, each was determined that he would accomplish many great things during his stay at the castle. Little did they realize how unprepared they were for the stress and toils which lay ahead. As they entered upon the threshold of this enchanted castle, they looked upon this new world in amazement and wonder, giving shouts of glee and joy. So eager were they to learn! The first few years provided little entertainment for this hardy band of little Brownies, since they were earnestly occupied in building a firm foundation. When the first foundation was laid, the Brownies were ready for their freshman year. They assembled to elect their officers: Emperor, Richard Brandt, Princess, Sally Miller, Chancellor of the Exchequer, Scott Kane, and Counselor, Patricia Hershner. Their talents were displayed for the first time when they presented a minstrel show. Taking their first trip away from the Kingdom, the Brownies ventured to Philadelphia. To climax the year, a party was held in the gym. Early in the fall of their sophomore year, the Brownies were one year wiser and more vigorous than ever. They crowned Richard Brandt Emperor, Fred Baker, Prince, Sally Miller, Chancellor of the Exchequer, and Robert Norris, Counselor. These were the leaders of their kingdom. Eagerly working in their class project, the selling of Christmas paper and wrappings, the Brownies showed expert salesmanship. Feeling the need for exploring and learning about the far-away lands, the Brownies journeyed by pumpkin coach to Washington D. C. It is the custom in the enchantedkingdom to choose a class ring. To prove their originality, the Brownies of '59 chose the Wildcat, a round class ring. Feeling the need to entertain, the Brownies bowed with distinction after presenting their assembly From Vaude to Video. To complete the year, they had a party to celebrate their many accomplishments. Now another year had lapsed. The Brownies were growing older and assuming greater responsibilities. Striving to achieve higher standards, the Brownies chose their officers more diligently than ever before. Emperor was Richard Brandt, Prince, Richard Rohrer, Chancellor of the Exchequer, John Neidhamer, and Counselor, James Kurtz. The Brownies reigned supreme when their play, Our Hearts Were Young And Gay, was presented by their talented cast. A major problem developed, money I4 Happy horde returns rejoicing. was needed to replenish their magic tinder box. What project couldthey use? Of course, Prom Peanuts! With trembling hearts, the Brownies prepared for the Prom. For this occasion they put away their ordinary clothes and dressed in magnificent gowns, golden slippers, and silken suits with burnished buttons. When the sun had set, they were on their way to the Hershey Ballroom to trip the light fantastic to the strains of Andy Angelucci. Alas, now the great bells of the castle rang loud and clear. The brownies are now Seniors. Cleverly, they elected their officers: Robert Norris, Emperor, Jim Kurtz, Prince, Gloria Ebert, Chancellor of the Exchequer, and Robert Hollinger, Counselor. With more finesse than ever, the Brownies worked sell- ing magazines with one goal in mind: to buy a gift as a token by which to be remembered. The Queen, Linda Breese, and her court reigned over the Halloween festivities with splendor. As their final show of talent, the Brownies came forth with The Little Dog Laughed. This year, being Seniors, they were the guests at the annual Junior-Senior Prom. The remaining days the Brownies spent in the castle were few in number. Class Day was a huge success for all the busy workers. In wonderment as to their future, the Brownies were granted one glimpse into the magic mirror. Here, at last, they saw the results of their six years' sojourn. They saw not Brownies, butastatelyprocession of seniors in caps and gowns ready to face the challenge and responsibilities of the future. I5 No sweat! E ' H. Grrrrr.

As juniors they found them- selves burning the midnight oil more and more as they toiled over their books. Anguished cries of Oh, no! More homework! fell on the under- standing ears of seniors who had fought their way through chemistry, geometry, bookkeeping and shorthand. It was a joyous occasion when class rings finally arrived in the fall. Each junior could be seen displaying his ring proudly. Under the able direction of Mr. Ketterman, the juniors held the audience in suspense with their stellar production, Murder in Rehersal. . . . Alfred Hitchcock couldn't have done better. The efforts of the struggling salesmen in the annual junior Peanut Tournament were rewarded by that never to be forgotten night of the Jr. Sr. Prom. With your many ta- lants and extraordinary abilities, to wish you good luck would be unnecessary. We know you'll succeed. Row l.

The work and worry put forth by the editors are more than enough reason for them to have grey hair. The last-minute rush and the struggle to avoid schedule upsets are only justified when the staff can sit back and admire the finished product. Editor-in- chief for this year's Artisanwas Joanne Moser, whose end- less efforts made things click.

STUDE T COUNCIL The twenty elected members of the Student Council represent the entire M.H.S. student body. In its weekly meetings the council debates and discusses student problems. The opinion formu- lated is then taken to the administration and the home rooms for their approval and suggestions. In this way council acts as a sounding board and permits an intelligent exchange of ideas between the office andthe classroom. This year four new committees - finance, dance, current problems, and student welfare - were formedto replace the old and to carry on council functions. The coun- cil, under the direction of Mr. Brubaker, strove to serve the school well in the past year. The President of the Council was Scott Kane, the Vice- President was Terrie Parsons, and the Secre- tary-Treasurer was Don Wood. The Class Re- presentatives were Bob Hollinger, Margee Lan- dis, and Ron Rife. Seated l. to r.: Scott Kane, Gayle Runkle, Gloria Ebert, Thelma Shortridge, Becky Ross, Linda Breese.

THE NATICDNAL HO The National Honor Society is a highly re- spected organization composed of members of the student body who have shown outstanding scholarship. The top 15'Z, of the senior class and the top 575 of the junior class are eligible. The faculty elects those students from that group who have displayed outstanding qualities in leader- ship, service, and character. The highlight of their year came at the inspirational induction ceremony. The members had a candy sale to raise money for their gift to the school.

Wt SENIOR PLAY The Senior Class was proud to present a three act comedy entitled The Little Dog Laughed. Laurie Huntington, a sophomore majoring in psychology, comes home from college expecting to findanormal, well-adjustedfamily, but instead discovers a family of psycho- logical knots. Sid Huntington, her father, isn't quite his normally jocular self because Ted Deadwood Wood, his hated rival in the used-car business, is about to snatch a much- coveted dealership, and Sid is touchy because he fears his much-needed loan from the bank won't go through. Martha, Laurie's mother, poised, gracious and warm-hearted, is over-anxious about the tea to which she has invited Walola Breckenridge, wife of the bank president, and other important ladies. Wally Huntington, Laurie's younger brother, is in the family doghouse because he insists on going steady with cute Joan Wood, Deadwood's daughter. Laurie thinks she can figure out all the family problems because she had majored in psychology, but of course she makes things worse. Laurie leaves home because she thinks her family is making fun of her psychology, but returns to find that her father and Ted Wood have applied some psychology and are now new business partners. Everything goes back to normal again and every one has learned something new and helpful about himself. 60 iwm.wm.l.i. . QD I , Y Q Qi 1 0 P Q 'Q-,,vd1 . 9 Q ' Q Q .

The plot concerned a local theatrical group rehearsing a play when the unpopular director was murdered on stage. The aged, bungling sheriff arrived at the theater and start- ed his investigation, locking up the theater to keep all suspects in. Next followed a series of humorous events, one after another. The body disappeared, new and unex- pected characters turned up, and the suspense mounted, while the audience was kept in stitches. The climax came when the director suddenly rushed down the aisle to the stage and announced it had been a wonderful rehearsal The audience 1 ft ' ' cast follows: e surprised, but richly entertained.
