We cannot count as progress the loss through retirement this year of the services of Chester I.

Hecameto MHSin August 1947, and since then has taught English and mathematics. He has been active in his small home community of Sand Beach, having been a Sunday School teacher and having served on the Church Board. Hehas also been the auditor of South Hanover Township. A dedicated teacher, an understanding father, a solid citizen of his community and of hisnation, Mr. Timmins is the kind of man we are proudtohavehadas a member of the Milton Hershey School faculty. The end of this past decade has marked the retirement of Merl Lester Stuckey after 23 years of service as a printing teacher at MHS. Born September 24, 1913 in Hershey, he attended a country elementary school and then finished his high school education at Hershey High. Mr. Stuckey attended Lebanon Valley Col- lege, Stoudt State University in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania State University, and received his Master’s Equivalent in Industrial education.

Now, we say good-bye to Mr. Stuckey; his vacancy will be filled but the memories of him shall linger forever in the mindsof the 237 students he has instructed in Printing. Leah C, Risser Chester I.
