For thirty-eight and one-half years, Robert K. Schelhorn gave dedicated service to the boys of Milton Hershey School as the Carpentry Instructor in Shop 6 at Senior Hall. Born on April 10, 1912, in Philadelphia, Pa., his family moved later to Lansdowne, Pa., where Mr. Schelhorn attended Lansdowne High School. He was later selected for Williamson Trade School from which he is a graduate, and later he attended Penn State University and the University of Pennsylvania. Joining the faculty of Hershey Industial School on January 15, 197, Mr. Schelhorn has completed a distinguished career in which he was highly respected by all who knew him. His skills as an instructor in carpentry have benefitted the community where, for more than a decade, he participated in the evening program at Derry Township Senior High School. We take this opportunity to wish Mr. Schelhorn a happy retirement. Robert K. Schelhorn Phyllis M. Baugher retires after giving twenty-five years of teaching dedication to the boys of the Junior Division as a teacher of second and fourth grades. Mrs. Baugher was born in 1912 in Harrisonburg, Virginia. After attending Madison College in Harrisonburg, Virginia, she was a teacher in the Virginia public schools. In 1915 Mrs. Baugher brought her pedagogical skill to Milton Hershey School's Junior Division. She taught second grade for ten years and fourth grade for fifteen years with a skill and dedication which has had a profound effect on the young lives she has touched. Congratulations are extended to Mrs. Baugher on her retirement from a distinguished career. Phyllis M. Baugher l During the past thirty-one years, John E. Fox gave of himself to the boys of l Milton Hershey School as instructor first in Latin and then as a member of the Senior Hall English Department. He was born on April 1, 1913, in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Educationally, Mr. Fox first attended The Harrisburg Academy and later The Berkshire School in Sheffield, Massachusetts. For his higher education, he matriculated at Williams College in Williamstown, Massachusetts and later received his A.B. Degree from Lafayette College in Easton, Pennsylvania. Mr. Fox came to Milton Hershey School in 1944 as teacher of ninth and tenth grade Latin and teacher of English to ninth grade. When Latin was taken out of the course of study at Senior Hall, he continued as an instructor of ninth grade English and has retired in that capacity. One of Mr. Fox's fondest memories concerns the many times Mr. Fisher'50, now Director of Secondary Education but a former student of Mr. Fox's, would challenge him to produce a more difficult sentence to diagram and analyze. We wish Mr. Fox many happy years of retirement. John E. Fox

Retirees Leave Behind a True Spirit of Dedication When one reviews a list of names of great contributors to Milton Hershey School, the name of Alfred T. Gibble would appear high on that list. Mr. Gibble tirelessly devoted the past forty-three and one-half years to the School. Born in Annville, Pennsylvania, he was a graduate of Palmyra High School in 1928. After obtaining his B.S. Degree from Lebanon Valley College in 1932, Mr. Gibble began his career at Milton Hershey School in August of 1932. From 1932 thru 1934 he taught junior high in the Community Building. From 1934 thru 1951 Mr. Gibble taught physical education and began a coaching career which included varsity football, basketball, and baseball. From 1951 up to 1975 he served in administration in the roles of Director of Homelife and retired as Director of Houseparent Staff. Words cannot adequately describe the contribution Mr. Gibble has made to the School, but the many graduates who have benefitted from his guidance will testify to the fact we are saying good-bye to a great name in the history of Milton Hershey School. Alfred T. Gibble For forty-two years George F. Sandel has given dedicated service in the areas of elementary and secondary education, thirty-nine of which have been spent in enriching the lives of Milton Hershey students. Mr. Sandel was born on September 18, 1911, at Winfield, Union County, Pennsylvania. After graduating from Sunbury High School in 1928, he obtained a B.A. Degree and an M.A. Degree from Bucknell University in 1932 and 1946, respectively. In 1966 he received an M.S. Degree in library science from Drexel University. Mr. Sandel joined the School's faculty on September 1, 1937, as a teacher of sixth grade. In 1942 he moved to a position as an eighth grade English teacher and remained in that capacity until he entered the Army. In 1946 he returned to Milton Hershey and spent a total of thirty-two years in the classroom. From 1966 to the present, he has been the librarian at Catherine Hall. Among Mr. Sandel's fondest memories are the eight years spent as adviser to The Spartan, and ten very satisfying years as Catherine Hall librarian. Hall. George F. Sandel With the retirement of Eleanor Foltz Wood, Milton Hershey School loses one of its most dedicated and tireless employees. For the past fifteen years she has given devoted service to the boys as a nurse tirst at Senior Hall and then at Catherine Mrs. Wood was born in Uniontown, Pennsylvania, on October 7,.1911. She Eleanor F. Wood graduated from the Uniontown Hospital Training School in 1931 and subsequently spent two years as an industial nurse. On October 16, 1961, Mrs. Wood joined the staff at Senior Hall where she was a nurse for four years.

Best wishes are extended to Mrs. Wood for a happy and healthy retirement.
