The wind is now favoring and the ships are ready to go. As one of the two foremost ships answers the fire from forts on both sides of the river, the other vessel advances to try to break the huge boom of wood and chains, a block set by the enemy. These ships are trying to get aid to the inhabitants of the city of Londonderry, Ireland, who have been besieged for 105 days by the French king, James II, because they are Protes- tants and support King William of England. Now the foremost ship strikes the huge boom and is thrown back and grounded. For a moment all seems lost as the enemies prepare to board. Then an increasing tide sweeps the ship back. The men see that they have accom- plished their task and broken the boom. The ship can get through, and the siege is over. The name of the first ship, the savior of that city, is the Mount Joy- Many of the young people from that town of Londonderry later came to settle in Lancaster County, and in gratitude they named their community after that ship- Mount Joy. This was the beginning of our town. Even as we got the name for our town, so may we take an example from the courage and deliberation of the ship. For we, too, are masters of a vessel, the ship our lives. Not a river, but a wide and turbulent ocean is our course. We are about to embark on this ocean. Until now we have stayed close to shore, sheltered and safe, knowing there was little danger of our ship's being wrecked. But the time has come to cast off and set sail. Who can tell what storms our ship may encounter along the way? How many times will it be lashed by the waves and struck by the winds? Will our ship sank or will it continue to reach its destined harbor? It is the captain's handling which will decide. The wonderful thing about the voyage is that it is made up of horizons. As we come to the edge of each one of these, another opens before us. Though there is no turning back and re-sailing, still there is always more ocean ahead. Then, too, other captains who have already completed their voyages have left us some knowledge of things to be avoided. Other voyages, not completed but further advanced than ours, have yielded experiences from which we can benefit. Thus, those things we have learned of the knowledge and experience of our teachers, parents, and friends should help us to avoid many rocks which could hinder us. And so we wish each ship a successful journey. The important thing in our voyages is not that each should end in honor and glory-for that cannot be- but only that everyone should do his best to reach his desired harbor. As fellow voyagers, we are indeed Launched, but not anchored. May each captain steer true to his course. 4 Table of Contents Foreword ...,. Faculty A, Seniors . . . ,. .

W' . - Left to Right-Abe Koser, Barbara Ranck, Marjorie Herr, Sam Dock. 8 The members of the senior class of 1950 returned to school in September 1949 ready and eager for their biggest year. Many activities and jobs loomed ahead for each person. With a year- book, the Washington trip and gradua- tion expenses in the near future, raising class funds seemed to be one of the major objectives. Mid-October found the seniors busy with hot dogs, hamburgers and oysters at the annual Community Exhibit stand. Good weather and large crowds made this venture a success. The next big activity of the year was the senior play, Huckleberry Finn, which was presented in period costumes. Again all efforts were successful and ticket sales broke previous records. Other financial efforts of the class in- cluded two basketball concessions and the sale of all-occasion cards. Soon it was time to get ads for the class yearbook. Then editorial work be- gan. Interspersed with this activity came other concerns: the choosing of the class motto, Hower and song, and the selection of name-cards. A new form of announcement was chosen, picturing the school building on the front. At last came the event to which everyone had been looking forward- the Washington trip. Those three days were filled with varied experiences. A few short weeks later, the seniors were seated on the stage for Class Day, using as their theme a luxury liner on its last night at sea, with the class members as the voyagers. Commencement followed swiftly and members of the Class of 1950 said their last good-by's to Mount Joy High School. EDNA BARTCH Chorus 1g Tumbling 1, 23 Hockey 33 Hi- Crier 4g Voyager 4. Look, a boy!

This class was none other than the Class of 1950. We promptly elected Abe Koser, president, Henry Rosenfeld, vice presidentg Nancy Angstadt, secretary, Verna Myers, treasurer. Although we greenies lacked experience, we proved to be good salesmen. We topped other classes in several doughnut sales, did well in the magazine campaign, and had two basketball concessions. At the end of the year our treasury boasted the highest balance for any freshman class up to that time. We entertained ourselves by having a roller-skating party, several hayrides and a Christmas party. We also held a tumbling show, the first of its kind in M.J.I-I.S. Nancy Mumper and Bill Bates were our attendants to the May Queen. Sophomore Confident, now that we had become upperclassmen, we elected Dick Taylor, president, Ken Nissley, vice presidentg Margie Herr, secretary, Shirley Reheard, treasurer. Our main activities this year included a Hallowe'en party and several hayrides. We also sponsored the annual May Hop, which, as our first dance, proved successful. Shirley Reheard and Bill Bates were our class attendants to the May Queen. When we clirnaxed the year by ordering our school rings, we felt like real members of our high school. junior We opened our junior year by choosing our class colors, maroon and gray, and by ordering our jackets, pennants and hats. Our officers this year were Charles Brooks, president, Frank Tyndall, vice president, Barbara Ranck, secretary, Marian Breneman, treasurer. 18 CIIISS niSt0l'y feontinuedj This year we increased our class funds by selling Christmas decorations and address and date books. We sponsored the Sadie Hawkins Day Dance and the St. Patrick's Day Dance. Abe Koser and Shirley Reheard attended the May Queen. Barbara Ranck and Sam Dock were elected to the National Honor Society. Our first dramatic attempt, the comedy Tish, built for us a reputation for ability on the stage. Marjorie Herr, portraying Tish, was assisted by her two companions, Sarah Brown and Shirley Schofield, and by eight other cast mem- bers. In May, we entertained the seniors at a semi-formal prom. At the end of the year Raymond Harple was elected president of the Student Council for the coming year. Senior As we entered Miss Zeller's homeroom at the beginning of our senior year, we could not help feeling proud now that we had come so far. We elected class officers for the last time, with Sam Dock, presidentg Abe Koser, vice presidentg Marjorie Herr, secretaryg Barbara Ranck, treasurer. We took over yearly con- trol of the ice cream and candy stands. We completed plans and started work on our yearbook. Our stand at the Community Exhibit was much work, but a great deal of fun. We took our last dramatic fling in the comedy Huckleberry Finn, which equaled the success of last year's production. Bob Divet portrayed Huck in this play, which introduced the use of period costumes in our high school. As we look forward to our Class Day, Baccalaureate and Commencement exercises, which will bring to an end our high school career, we are glad for the many memories of experiences and fun which made up our four years of class history. 19 Class Will We the Class of Nineteen Hundred Fifty, do ordain and establish this document as our last will and testament, thereby revoking any other obligation which we heretofore made public in our younger more foolish years.

Second Row-George McCue, Jack Boyer. Wherever you went, you were bound to see the blue-and-white jackets of the junior class in the crowd. Those juniors were every- where. Although they were green at acting, the most important activity was their play, Strange Boarders, a comedy-mystery given in April under the direction of Miss Catharine Zeller, English teacher. In addition, a dance in the high school auditorium, March 24, commemorated St. Patrick's Day. Previously the juniors had of- fered old maids a chance at the Sadie Haw- kins Day Dance, November 18, for which occasion the class secured Jim Hendricks' Orchestra. At basketball games the Class of '51 gladly took its turn in handling a concession. Be- sides a hayride, dances and basketball games, the juniors made a very important contribu- tion in every field of sports offered in the school. As a climax to a very busy year, they were hosts to the seniors at the annual Junior- Senior Prom in May. The officers of the junior class are presi- dent, jack Boyerg vice president, john Bow- man, secretary, Anita Myers, and treasurer, George McCue.

It was their main money- making project of the year. Also, to earn money they took their turn at operating a refreshment stand at two home basketball games and selling magazines in the annual magazine campaign. Last year the class sold the greatest number of magazines in the high school. In December the 10A English class gave an assembly program illustrating good and bad manners. Everyone will remember Tom Germer's car, which just wouldn't start when it was supposed to. In February the 10B English section presented a choralogue, Long jaunt to jor- dan, a saga of the Negro race from the jungles to Christianity. In addition to these activities, a number of students of the class were on the Hi-Crier staff, while others were on the basketball teams. One member, Joe Wilson, was the first frosh to make the varsity basketball team. He also received three letters when he was a freshman.

After attending one hundred and sixty- six school days, the freshmen no longer are considered green However, at the be- ginning of the term the seventy-two mem- bers of the Class of '53 had to become ac- quainted with one another before electing the following officers: Myron Toby Weber, presidentg Janice Breneman, vice presidentg Roberta Frank, secretary, Jeanette Breneman, treasurerg Janice Breneman and Robert Schroll, student council representatives. The first money-making project the ninth grade encountered was that of selling magazines for two different companies. More money was added to the class treas- ury by selling refreshments at the Paradise and Marietta basketball games. In addition to these activities, each sec- tion had an assembly program under the direction of Mrs. Joseph Sedule, junior high English teacher. A minstrel show was presented by 9A. A feature of the show was the impersonation of Al Jolson by George Houck, the new music director. The other section, 9B, conducted a quiz show, Can You Top This? Preceding the program, poster were displayed around the school giving clues to the identity of the Mystery Man of the show. Finally, a roller-skating party was held at Playland, York, as a climax to the fresh- man year activities.

BARBARA RANCK, Editor 'Voyager' Stages Comeback Yes, we want a yearbook! This was the enthusiastic reply which the members of the Class of 1950 gave when confronted with the all-important question of publishing a yearbook. Though no yearbook had been published for two years, the class felt confident that they could have one. And so, in November, plans were laid. Miss Catharine Zeller would be the adviser. Barbara Ranck would serve as editor and Marian Breneman as business manager. Soon the rest of the staff was chosen. Thus, the stage was set and it was time to begin. What a time the class had getting ads! There must be more business than this. How many times have I had to come back to this place? And always the cry, More ads, more ads! But finally the campaign was over. Now the layout of the book itself had to be done. Pictures were taken, articles were as- signed, and artists Abbydine Markley and Shirley Reheard took up their pencils. Everything was, Hurry! The deadline must be met. Now it was time to proofread, check and check again. The work proved to be a lot of fun, though. At last everything was ready for the printer and the staff could sit back and wait. Now their hopes have become reality. The yearbooks are completed. The story of the Class of '50, as well as of other high school activities, will be kept herein for the future. The Voyager staff knows that its work was well worth while. 34 'Voyager' Editorial and Business Staff Seated, L. to R.-Warren Bates, Mary Jane Zimmerman, Abbydine Markley, Marian Breneman, Jean Wagner, Barbara Ranck, Marjorie Herr, Sarah Brown, Shirley Reheard, Shirley Schofield, Raymond Harple.

E DNA BARTCH 36 Student Council Improves Recreation The student legislative body of Mount Joy High School has shown a steady progress since the time of its reorganization in the fall of 1946. At present it is made up of four committees. These are the social committee, with Mrs. Almeda Griffith, home economics teacher, as adviser, the assembly committee, with Miss Catharine Zeller, English teacher, and George Houck, music director, as advisers, the publicity committee, with Miss Thelma Taylor, mathematics teacher, and H. K. Schoener, science teacher, as advisers, and the service committee, with Mrs. Margaret Williams, guidance counselor, as adviser. The student council membership includes the president of each class and two additional representatives from each class. The class presidents were Samuel Dock, Jr., senior, Jack Boyer, junior, Earl Shelley, sophomore, and Toby Weber, freshman. The other members were as fol- lows: Barbara Ranck, Raymond Harple and Abe Koser, seniors, Bonnie Bigler and John Bow- man, juniors, Sally Nissley and Donald Thome, sophomores, and Janice Breneman and Robert Schroll, freshmen. Raymond Harple, the council president, was assisted by the following officers: Abe Koser, vice president, Barbara Ranck, secretary, and Bonnie Bigler, treasurer. The council sponsored teen-age nights every Wednesday in the high school auditorium and showed movies during club periods in order to obtain enough money to purchase a new movie projector. In addition, the monitor system was again put into operation to help prevent conges- tion in the halls when classes were passing. The council also helped in many other worthwhile projects during the year, such as the school Christmas party. i Seated, Left to Right-Janice Breneman, Toby Weber, Abe Koser, Raymond Harple, Barbara Ranck, Bonnie Bigler, Sally Nissley.

It is one of the 2700 chapters in high schools throughout the United States. Members of this honorary society are chosen each year by the faculty. In order to be eli- gible, a student must first stand in the upper third of his class in scholarship. From this group are chosen those whom the faculty considers most outstanding in four points: scholarship, serv- ice, leadership and character. Six students from the Class of 1950 have been elected to membership in the National Honor Society. Two of these, Barbara Ranck and Samuel Dock, were inducted in their junior year. The other four seniors-Shirley Reheard, Jean Wagner, Marian Breneman and Sarah Brown- and two juniors, Anita Myers and John Bowman, became members in February 1950, when the East Donegal, Marietta and Mount Joy chapters held a combined induction. Members of the society, at the time of induction, receive a large certificate and a smaller card, both signifying membership, and a small key. They are asked to sign their names to the National Honor Society scroll. It is hoped that this society may stimulate greater effort in scholarship, lead to more exten- sive service, develop more and better leaders and enrich the character of the students of Mount joy High School. 38 Girls Aid Librarian When a pupil goes into the library for a book, he is probably assisted by one or two of a group of girls known as library aides. Each year Miss Edna Martin, librarian, selects a group of girls who she thinks will be capable of doing this work. She plans a schedule in which two girls are put in charge of the library each period in the day. Some of the girls are put in charge of the library three periods a week, while others have only one period to take care of. Each year the girls working in the library receive one-eighth of a credit. The two girls in charge divide the work between them, one taking charge of the students com- ing to the library and the other taking charge of the books. The girl taking charge of the stu- dents' library permits keeps a record of the name of the person, the time he left study hall, the reason for coming to the library, and the time he returns to study hall. The other girl stamps the in-coming and out-going books. This year Miss Martin designated a certain section of the library book shelves for each girl to keep clean and orderly. The library aides also keep order in the library and help students locate reference material. First Row, Left to Right-Mary Ann Spangler, Mary G.

The group held a Christmas concert and a spring concert. George C. Houck, music supervisor, was the director, and Barabra Ranck, a senior, the accompanist. The Junior High Chorus consisted of sixty members from the seventh and eighth grades. Mr. Houck also directed this chorus, with Barbara Ranck as accompanist. All voices in both choruses were tested before the owners were admitted as members. The groups sang secular, popular and sacred music. Some of the members from the Senior Glee Club participated in the County Chorus and in the Southern District Chorus of Pennsylvania. This year the school held a Christmas concert under the direction of the music supervisor. It was the first candle-lighted service held at the Mount Joy High School. All grades of both the elementary and high school participated. The first six grades each sang separately, and the Junior High Chorus and then the Senior Glee Club sang as groups. The main number of the Senior Glee Club was Gloria in Exce1sis, by W. A. Mozart. The junior and senior choruses sang together, Like as a Father.

The credit goes mainly to George Houck, the new band director. Mr. Houck, a graduate of West Chester State Teachers College, drilled the band mostly on cadence. By stepping up the drum-beat and shortening the step, he gave the band that snappy effect. The band practiced long and hard to show the people that Mount joy still has a good high school band. They made their first public appearance at the Community Exhibit, where they gave a concert and led the horse-and-pony parade. Then parading to Hanover, Pa., they were marked as the fastest-marching band in line. Coming back to Mount joy, they led the Hal- loween Parade on October 31. The band also gave its annual spring concert, followed by the parade in the annual Memorial Day festivities. Mr. Houck also plans to start a summer marching band to provide for the younger members experience in parading and drilling. Losing only five members, the M. J. H. S. band will have experienced members in its ranks next year. Furthermore, with new talent coming from the junior high band, Mount joy will have a bigger and better band next year and in years to come. 42 fficient iremen Promote Safer, The firemen this year were very efficient, just like the patrolmen of past years. They were under the supervision of Charles Brooks and Jerry Shupp, the chief and assistant chief, respectively. At the beginning of the year the fire equipment of the high school was inspected by a mem- ber of the Friendship Fire Company iil of Mount Joy. A few fire extinguishers were set off at that time for the benefit of members of the patrol. These extinguishers were then charged and placed on their brackets. The short time for a fire drill, which was held once a month, was one minute and forty-two seconds. The reason that the patrol was so efficient was that the students cooperated very well with them.

The hilarious adventures of the three old maids kept the audience in gales of laughter during much of the performance. Marjorie Herr gave an excellent portrayal of the incomparable Tish. Sarah Brown, as Aggie, and Shirley Schofield, as Lizzie, were perfect for their parts as Tish's two companion spinsters. Romantic interest was provided by Charles Brooks, as Tish's young nephew, and Shir- ley Reheard, as the proprietress of the hotel. Robert Divet also secured many laughs as Sheriff Lem Pike, and the scene in which he admitted his romantic ideas to Miss Tish proved one of the favorites. Warren Bates did well as the money-mad Luther Hopkins, and Abbydine Markley portrayed his daughter Callie. Jean Wagner and William Bates brought to life on the stage the two myste- rious strangers who turned out to be only harmless lovers. It took Tish, however, to figure out that the real bandit was Denby Grimes CRaymond Harplej. Marian Breneman took the part of his accomplice. The remaining member of the cast, Betty Biesecker, looked exactly like a Mexican with her dark skin and her black wig with long braids. She portrayed Charita, the maid who could say only, Ugh! Miss Catharine Zeller, English teacher, directed the play and was assisted by Melissa Strickler and Marian Foerch. 44 Q 32 ai L. to R.-Shirley Reheard, Kenneth Nissley, Shirley Schofield, Jean Wagner, Charles Brooks, Warren Bates, Sarah Brown, Richard Peifer, Fredine Gehman, Marjorie Herr, Robert Divet. Huck Finn Walks Again The Class of '50's reputation for dramatic ability was proved once again as attendance rec- ords were broken on November 10 and 11, 1949, at the production of Huckleberry Finn, a three-act comedy based on the immortal novel by Mark Twain. The play was presented in cos- tume of the 1800's and was the first period play to be given at Mount Joy High School. Miss Catharine G. Zeller, English teacher, was the director. The story centered around the life of Huckleberry Finn, played by Robert Divet, a typical American boy. He lived with his Aunt Polly Watson CSarah Brownj, who was so nervous, and Aunt Ruth Watson CShirley Reheardj, who was greatly disappointed in Fred Raymond QKen Nissleyj because he asked her to be his brisket of lean beef while proposing to her. John Finn CWarren Batesj, Huckleberry's no-good father, who was supposed to be dead, re- turned to get Huck's money but reformed and fell in love with Aunt Polly. Laughter was provided by Jenny Lind White fShirley Schofieldj, the superstitious colored maid of the Watson household who sang hymns to ward off the evil spirits. Amy Woppinger fjean Wagnerj would have liked to assert herself but was under the influ- ence of Clara Woppinger fFredine Gehmanj, her sister. Clara, a typical spinster of forty, had her hat set for the Rev. Percival Jones CRichard Peiferj. Tom Sawyer CCharles Brooksj, Huck's best friend, was a little jealous of the affection shown Huck by Mary jane CMargie Herrj, who was the first to know anything that went on in town. However, Tom soon woke up by sitting on his hat and took Amy to a party that night. Barbara Ranck and Mary Jane Hoffer were assistant directors of the play. The success of Huckleberry Finn was proved not only by the sale of more than a thousand tickets, but also by the enthusiastic response of both audience and cast. 45 R Seated, L. to R.-Josephine Longenecker, Frances Wolgemuth, Anna Kreider, Shirley Bernhard, Shirley Groff.

A. is an Octagon with Future Homemakers of America and For- ward New Horizons inscribed on it. The house in the center is upheld by two hands, which symbolize that the homes of tomorrow are in the hands of the youth of today. The colors are red and white and the flower is a red rose, colors symbolic of youth. Margie Herr was elected president at the organization meeting of the Mount joy chapter in October. Other officers elected were Sarah Brown, vice president, Mary Jane Zimmerman, secretaryg and Miriam Loewen, treasurer. Mrs. Almeda Griffith, home economics teacher, acted as chapter adviser of the twenty-six girls enrolled. Many activities were planned for the members' enjoyment. First, regular nightly meetings were held once a month. The iirst evening meeting was in November, when the group made Christmas presents. In December there was a Christmas party. The feature of the January meeting was a trip to the State Farm Show. Furthermore, as a means of raising money, meals were served at noon hour every Wednesday. The Mount Joy group, as a chapter, endeavored to uphold the purpose of the F. H. A. and to enjoy doing it. 46 Grade Patrol Protects Children The Grade School Patrol this year was under the supervision of Charles Heaps, grade school principal. Robert Fish and Peter Nissley were captain and lieutenant, respectively. The patrolmen guard important street corners, such as Main Street and Marietta Avenue, Main and Market, Main and Barbara, and corners around the school building. Guards are also stationed on the playgrounds and inside the building as well. As a method of rating, a merit system is used by the patrol. If a patrolman is on duty every day in the week and wears his white belt and badge, he is given a merit. If he is not, he is given a demerit. In order to cancel a demerit, four merits must be acquired. Inspection also accounts for merits and demerits. Many activities are carried on by the patrol members. In the spring they attend a parade in Lancaster in which all the school patrols in Lancaster County participate. Last fall they saw a football game at Franklin and Marshall College in which F and M played against Ursinus Col- lege. Two record dances are also held every year. At the end of the year, three awards are given to those members of the patrol who have done outstanding work during that year.

Team Boots Way To Championship The Mount Joy High School soccer team once again reclaimed its title as Lancaster County champions. Under the supervision of Coach John D. Day, the team fought its way to the county championship with the record of eight wins and one defeat. The highlight of the season was a championship playoff, under lights, on the Lancaster Catholic High School football field. This was the lirst soccer game to be played at night in this county. The Mount Joy Rams then defeated the New Holland Huskies after three extra periods, before the watchful eyes of almost a thousand spellbound spectators. Then moving on the District 3 P.I.A.A. championship play-offs, the Rams met a strong Ham- burg team on Mount Joy's soccer field. A low, strong wind, blowing down field, proved to be a disadvantage to both teams, giving one team the advantage one period and the other the next. Mount Joy was defeated 3-2 and thus was not able to secure revenge for last year's defeat of 2-0 by the same team. With many of this year's team returning next year, Gerald Wilson, captain-elect, said that he would endeavor to place the third consecutive soccer trophy in the Mount Joy High School trophy case next year. 51 Shoot ,Em High, Shoot 'Em Low Captain BILL BATES GEORGE Houcx, Coach 1949-50 VARSITY BASKETBALL SCHEDULE Mt.

The Red and White won fourteen and lost four for an average of .778. In league competition, Mount Joy finished with seven wins and three defeats and ended behind Manheim and E-town, respectively. With their new coach the Red and White had a good season. Manheim proved to be the thorn for Mount Joy. The championship team defeated the Rams twice. The game on Mount Joy's floor was a thriller. With the score deadlocked at the end of regulation time, Manheim poured on the steam and scored a 57-50 win in an extra period. On the bright side, the Rams KO'd E-town for the first time in several years. Mr. Houck started a fast five. They consisted of two seniors, Bill Bates and Abe Koserg two juniors, George McCue and John Bowman, and one sophomore, Gerald Wilson. Bates was cap- tain and high-scoring guard, Koser was an all-round guard and a steady defense man. McCue was last year's top county scorer with 196 points. This year he was runner-up with 2 11 points. He was an all-round man and a very effective shot. Bowman was the big boy that got the re- bounds and worked the pivot. He was a great asset to the team. Finally, Wilson was the fire- ball that contributed the speed and fight that boosted the team.

J-V9s Prove Promising The Red and White junior varsity had a better-than-average season by winning twelve and losing six for a .667 average. The J-V's showed promising varsity material for next year. In fact, several junior varsity players had some varsity experience this season. Coach George Houck has given them training which will develop them into the key men of future teams. Most of the J-V's were juniors. Only three sophomores were on the squad, and the starting J-V five consisted of juniors. The greatest part of the scoring was done by the fast-moving forwards, Jerry Estock and Jerry Shuppg by the driving guard, Ben Brown, and by jack Boyer and John Miller. Most of the boys on the squad saw action at some time or another. 1949-50 JUNIOR VARSITY BASKETBALL SCHEDULE Mt.

Lacking height, they were made an easy target for the other schools, but they fought back bravely and were usually beaten by not too many points. The team turned in its only league victory against East Donegal. They also showed their stuff at East Hempfield, where the game ended in a tie. Although they fought hard in the over-time period, they were finally defeated by the Hempfielders, 27-24. Although the team didn't fare too well this year, some of the boys show great possibilities of becoming material for Mount Joy's varsity and junior varsity in future years. Given some ex- perience and training, Tom Kear, the spark-plug of the junior high, will probably become a good ball-handler for the Rams. Toby Weber and Ducky Germer should not be overlooked either. They are fast, and with added height they, too, will become good material. Jim Metzler, a lanky six-footer, shows possibilities as a future center for the Red and White. Moreover, Hen Klugh, Benny Clinger, Russ Gantz and Bill Zimmerman should not fall short of the mark, as they, like the rest of the team, have spunk and plenty of get-up-and-go in them. Though often on the short end of the score, the junior high five gave the other teams a hard time and showed good sportsmanship in doing it. Their coach was George Broske, junior high teacher. 1949-50 JUNIOR HIGH BASKETBALL SCHEDULE Mt.

The best game of the season for the Mount Joy lads was the one with East Donegal on April 21 on the Red and White field. In that game George McCue pitched 15 strikeouts. On the other side of the ledger, the worst game for Mount Joy was the one with Elizabethtown on May 16 at Mount Joy. john Day was the coach of the Rams.

J. II. S. Wins Another Tennis Trophy Mount Joy's 1949 tennis team ended its season by winning the league championship. This was the first year since 1940 that there had been any tennis league. The teams that made up the league were Manheim Township, Hershey, Patton Trade, McCaskey, New Holland and Mount Joy High Schools. The Red and White defeated all these teams every time with the ex- ception of Hershey and McCaskey. Although Mount Joy won its first match with Hershey, the Rams lost the second, they also dropped the last two contests to McCaskey. By capturing the championship, the M.j.H.S. netsters were only following tradition. Mount Joy has won every tennis trophy ever offered in Lancaster County. 1949 TENNIS SCHEDULE Mt. joy Opp. Hershey .................... .... 7 0 Patton Trade .......... .,.. , 7 0 Manheim Township ..,. . . 7 0 New Holland .......,....,.. , 7 0 McCaskey J.V.'s ...... . 7 0 McCaskey .....,...,... . 5 2 Hershey ...,..,..,.,.. . 7 O Manheim .,.... 7 0 McCaskey .... , 2 5 McCaskey .... . 3 4 Left to Right-William Beaston, Kenneth Engle, Lee Ranck, William Bates, William Garber, Robert Kramer, Charles Heaps, coach. 57 Kneeling, L. to R.-joe Coover, Henry Becker, John Miller, james Hornafius, Paul Earhart, Clair Metzler.

Shar psllouters Gain Championsllip This year's rifle team did its share to bring glory to Mount Joy High School by bringing home the county championship by winning four out of five of its matches. Scoring honors went to James Hornafius, with Johnny Miller and Frank Tyndall in second and third places, respec- tively. George Broske, junior high teacher, was coach. The matches were held Wednesday afternoons after school hours. This year a system of handicaps was worked out. First, the shooting averages of the last three years from the four schools were computed. Then each school was granted a handicap if its opponent's average was higher than its own. Under this system, M. J. H. S. received a 12.39 handicap from Ephratag 12.28 handicap from Manheim Townshipg and 2.06 over West Lampeter. Following are the scores in this year's matches: Mt.
