Showalter After thirty-two years of conscientious service to Milton Hershey School, Orville H. Strait retires at the end of the current school year. A native of Fulton County, Pennsylvania, where he received his elementary and secondary education, he attended the Pennsylvania State University for undergraduate and graduate study and began a teaching career of forty-three years. Always active in community and civic affairs, he served in scouting at Milton Hershey School and has been a teacher and administrative officer in Bethany United Methodist Church of Palmyra since 1943. Mr. Strait firmly believes that schools were primarily established as places of learning, that a teacher should be a master of his subject, and that the American competitive system is the source of America's greatness.
