Dale Smith, principal and Arthur Kaup, teacher, accompanied the class members. A Christmas musical entitled, Holiday High- lights was presented by the senior high choruses Wednesday, December 2l. The sophomores, juniors and seniors presented a mystery farce entitled Ramshackle Inn, February 23 and 25 in the school auditorium. The play was directed by Mr. William Ketterman. Jane Davis portrayed the leading role of Belinda Pryde, the woman who solved the mystery. Supporting her in the other roles were Jean Edgar and Elwood Myers who played Joyce Rodgers and Mr. Arbrithnot respectively, Mame Philips, lTillie Slyderl, Constable Small lLeon Bakerl and Commo- dore Lucius Towser, Belinda's fiance for twenty years lStanIey Reynoldsl. Patton, played by Ronald Wallace was a sinister handy man around Ye Olde Colonial Inn. He was a member of a bootlegging ring that operated at the Inn. Mr. Temple lDale Hollandsworthl, Dr. Steven Russell and wife, Gail, played by Jan Wiley and Judy Topper, and Fred Porter lBarry Sealoverl were members of the gang. Miss Alice Fisher lLinda Leightl arrived at the Inn with her sister Gail. The plot of the play involves Bill Philips, lBarry Bollinger? who has just returned from jail and Mary Temple Uudy Slothowerl Bill's girl friend. The Constable and Gilhooley, a cop played by Arthur Rider, make a feeble attempt to break up the ring. Several exciting episodes followed, in- cluding several murders. The mystery is finally solved as the story ends. Philip Lovejoy, Commencement Speaker y II Northern High Band This year Mr. Paxson painted a mural in the lobby of the school building. The title for the mural is The Progress of Education in the Rural Schools. As time passed again plans were made for the Prom, which was presented by the juniors. Of course, we shall never forget the fun, ad- ventures and pleasures we had on our senior trip. The three days in New York proved exceedingly en- joyable as well as educational. ,Fl ni? if it Ili 5 'K Q

SENIOR HISTORY lt takes a little while for us to realize we final- ly are seniors. We have spent eleven years in school, and now we soon will graduate. This year we have a new administration-Mr. Scott, supervising principal and Mr. Smith, high school principal. With them, they brought various changes in the school. Numerous organizations were formed-among these: Student Council which was one of the most important and also the Na- tional Honor Society. We did, however, participate in the magazine drive and Farmer's Day as other years. The money for the drive bought a projector and the remainder went into the activity fund for school parties and dances. Elections got under way. The following offi- cers were elected: President, Barry Bollinger, Vice- President, Carol Arnsberger, Secretary, Linda Leight and Treasurer, Judy Topper. During Farmer's Day parade our float for the first time captured a first prize. After winning prizes in other parades in the vicinity our work proved very profitable. The play, Our Hearts Were Young and Gay, was one of our biggest activities and proved very worthwhile. Much to our dismay, however, the money was stolen from the school safe. The busi- ness men of the community came to our assistance and the net loss was not too great. The senior Problems of Democracy class went on a field trip to Philadelphia December lst. Here is an account of the trip written by Linda Leight. Bright and early Thursday morning lat 5: l 53, droopy-eyed Seniors left for the train station in Harrisburg, enroute to Philadelphia. Upon leaving the Philadelphia station we boarded two sight-see- ing buses, for a tour of the city. One of the inter- esting points was a drive through Fairmont Park. Benedict Arnold's house was one of the highlights here. Strangely enough at the United States mint, they wouldn't give us any samples. The Betsy Ross House was our next stop. From here we went to Independence Hall, where the most interesting thing here is the Liberty Bell. Do you know what? Davy Crockett didn't patch up the crack in the Liberty Bell either. Then came what everybody was waiting for-lunch! What you needed here was a lot of nickels. After lunch we spent an hour in the Franklin Institute seeing many interesting exhibits. Cinerama Holiday, at Boyd Theater, was next on our list. This brought many thrills to all of us. We went window shopping and saw many things which I know everybody asked Santa Claus for. By the way, we saw Santa when we went through John Wanamaker's Store. We ate supper at Horn and Hardart's. From here we went to the station, where we boarded the train for our weary homeward journey. A wonderful time was had by all. OUR FIRST PRIZE WINNING FLOAT 14
