DEDICATIO The Senior Class of 1954 dedicates this issue of the CANUSARAGKJ to lVlr. Bitler, our playground supervisor, and Junior High English and Social Studies teacher. To us, lVlr. Bitlerls philosophy of life exemplifies this quotation of Seneca-Shun no toil to make yourself remarkable by some talent or other. Yet do not devote yourself to one branch exclusively. Strive to get clear notions about all. Cive up to no science entirely, for science is but one.-Long after school memories have become obscured, the memory of this sincere man will remain. Mr. Bitler was born in the vicinity of Clarks- town and completed his elementary schooling there. He then attended the lVluncy Normal and the VVilliamsport Commercial and Potts Shorthand DELOS M. BITLER College. He also attended Bucknell and later did extension work at Bloomsburg State Teachers College. He began teaching in Hepburn Township and later taught in lVluncy Creek Township, jersey Shore, and Moreland Township. He then came to Muncy to teach and has been teaching here for twenty-two years. ln 1941 he became super- visor of the playground and acts in this capacity at the present time. He has three teaching certificates. They are the Pennsylvania Permanent Certificate, Certificate for all junior high subjects and a special Certifi- cate for social studies. These have been employed by Mr. Bitler due to the fact that throughout his long teaching career he has taught all grades from 1 to 12 at one time or another.

May our hearts be ever true, To the colors white and blue, Muncy High School, here's to you- Hail to Alma Mater, Hail. School Song Here's to our dear old Muncy, Praise to her colors true, Junior and Senior High School, Hail to the white and blue, Rah! Rah! Rah! Good times we had about her, Sad times occasionally too, But when it comes to good schools Oh! Muncy we're for youl History of the Alma Mater There was in Muncy at one time a physical education teacher who taught in t is school between 1933-1936. His wife, although not a famous musician, was an acquired one. One day she sat down and began to compose a song which turned out to be our Alma Mater. She wrote for us both the words and the music-both of which are original. Her name is Eleanor Robertsg she is the wife of Steve Roberts. Our high school is unique in having its own Alma Mater. The music and words were composed just for the students of Muncy. Many thanks to Eleanor Roberts. History of the School Song Practically every school has a school song as well as an Alma Mater, and we are no exception. The words of our school song, which are so familiar to all of us were written by George Palmer, who at one time was a teacher in Muncy. Although thc words to our School Song are original, the music is not. The music to which we sing it is taken from the march, Frat,', which is played by our high school band. Our sincere thanks to Mr. Palmer for writing our School Song. 5
