SUMMER SCHOOL Thr famous Millcrsville ducks, who make their home on the lake, seek shade from the hot summer sun. cow.” Later assemblies presented Dr. Richard Myers, geologist from Pennsylvania Power and Light Company, with The Long Crooked River, a film showing the northern branch of the Susquehanna River and the main river; and Mr. David Jardcn, with a colored film taken in the wilderness area of northern Ontario. The Clarence Fuhrman trio from station KYIV presented operatic and popular music. A picnic held outside the dining hall rounded out the summer's social whirl. Despite a slight reduction in enrollment, the curriculum offered a broad scope and was further varied with field trips and excursions.

Whether he is merely enjoying the shade of the trees on front campus or approaching the library to fill an assignment, he cannot help but admire the scene. Left: As a summer school student settles down for studying at one of the cool spots on campus—the trees beside the lake—the campus view of the President’s house greets his eyes.

No splashing in the ocean, bathing in the sun. or camping in the mountains for those of us who gathered our books and trotted to classes! In-service teachers, working for a degree or permanent certification; regular enrollecs accelerating or picking up credits—we were the poor summer students. The daily agenda: from eight to twelve-thirty, except for laboratory; then more often than not. part-time jobs at home. The few students that remained in the dormitories tried to make an empty building homelike by a spirit of cooperation. There were of course the lighter moments. The recreational program began on June 17 with a card party on the veranda of the old Girls’ Dormitory. Following this, throughout the summer, were watermelon parties, softball games, swimming parties, and motion pictures shown in the old gym. A bus was chartered and 37 students went to the Mi.

MILLERSULLE AWAITS SEPTEMBER After three years of college, most of the bank accounts needed to be replenished. So many of the seniors did just that. One of the most popular positions to be held by both the male and female members was that of playground supervisor. At Hamilton Park Playground in Lancaster, Anne Johnstone was hard at work. Also in Lancaster were the following: Joan Eshleman at Lafayette School, Joe Rader in the sixth ward area, and Nancy Rae er at the Wickersham Playground. The Famum Playground featured a husband-and-wife team, half of which is Bob Peffley. Ron Hoffpauer found time to be both a parking lot attendant and a playground supervisor. Mabel Keemer kept up her swimming techniques as a lifeguard at the Brook-side Pools; Glenn Dutterer also worked at a pool. In order to become better acquainted with journalism, Joan Schotta and Mary Ann Kraft spent their summer with the Lancaster Newspapers. Again quite a few found themselves salesgirls. Marilyn Symington and Shirley Snadcr were at a five and ten. Minnie Shipley in a department store, and Pat Cadden found herself in a shoe store. Shirley Swingler also worked in a department store, but as a bookkeeper. Phyllis Keeley and Mar)' Stewart did general office work, while Shirley Pfeiffer was a bookkeeper at a bank. While Liz Kline was a hospital receptionist, Irene Denlinger became a Nurses' Aid at Lancaster General Hospital. Dick Heckler, Earl Kline, and Bud Dutill all worked on factory assembly line. Of those who didn't have a particular job, Anita Cassimatis worked at home and look a short trip to Missouri. Bob Good didn't do much except travel route 222. Before very long, all of our hardworking seniors and those otherwise were returning for their final year of college. As students scattered to their homes and summer jobs Millersville stands waiting, empty but for the industrious summer schooler. Three new buildings, shown on the opposite pages, and older, more familiar scenes such as the two shown on this page await September.
