We Pay Tribute to Another Retiring Board Member WILLIAM E. SCHILLER Milton Hershey built the chocolate factory only a few years before founding Milton Hershey School. It was primarily through the success of this business enterprise that adequate financial resources became available to launch such a great school program. In 1947, William Schiller affiliated as comptroller with Hershey Chocolate Corporation, now known as Hershey Foods Corporation. The following year he became treasurer of the company and also was elected to the Board of Directors of the corporation. He was appointed vice president in 1956, and in 1965 he was elected to the position of Chairman of the Board of Directors of Hershey Foods Corporation, the position he held until the time of his retirement in 1974. Mr. Schiller became a part of the school family when he was elected to the Board of Hershey Trust Company in 1962, followed by his appointment to the Board of Managers of the school the same year. From the beginning, he took active interest in all phases of the school program. He has taken every opportunity possible to attend the various functions of the school. Through his careful attention to both the educational and business aspects of the school he has contributed immeasurably to the school program while serving as a member of the Board of Managers. Mr. Schiller's major contributions have been related to financial matters. His years of professional experience as a certified public accountant with one of America's largest auditing firms, prior to coming to Hershey, followed by his business experience with Hershey Foods Corporation, have enhanced his expertise in dealing with the kinds of financial concerns associated with Milton Hershey School. On behalf of the students, the Acropolis staff wishes to thank Mr. Schiller for the personal interest he has taken in the school during his period of membership on the Board of Managers.
