Meyer cLAss CLOWNS TAl.LEsT 33 CLASS HISTORY This is an account of a few of the many times we were good and sometimes when we were a little bad. You must not draw any unfavorable conclusions from the following because we were only growing up and now we are supposed to be dignified seniors. One morning in September of the year 1939 our mothers roused us out of bed and sent us to school. Here we found a large building and a lot of noisy, shy, and scared youngsters. We came for our first stab at learning. That first year Miss Turby, Miss Bicksler, and Miss Green tried to calm us down and teach us a few things. Miss Bicksler had a helper - it was a ruler. Everyone had sore fingers fora while, but we soon Ieamed how to keep them away from dangerous places. Robert Snyder received his first spanking because he was too lazy to carry his book to the front of the room, he threw it and it found its mark on the teacher's head. After a summer of bumps and bruises, we came back to torture our second grade teachers who were Mrs. Stutzman, Miss Etter, and Miss Austin. lf in future years you see Paul Hartz bald- headed, it will be because of Mrs. Stutzman's fondness for his hair. Dave Blauch had to hobble around on crutches that year because he fell off a swing and broke his leg. Then there was the time Joyce Brightbill sent Dave a seven year old birthday card on his eighth birthday. By hook or crook we all passed on to third grade. Here we had the honor of being taught by Miss Baum, Miss Moyer, and Miss Berry. We had a Halloween Party that Lloyd Meyer should re- member. He wore his cat costume and no one could guess who had such a long tail. Frank Eckert dented the playground with his head. He swung the whole way around the swing pole. Our parents were glad that school started again - more so than we. Being in fourth grade, we knew a little of what the teachers were talking about. Mrs. Miller, Mrs. Evans, and Mrs. Heisey were our teachers. Here we first learned about Little Black Samba from Mrs. Kistler, a substi- tute teacher. Then we all went on to fifth grade. Mrs. Bomberger, Mrs. Daniels, and Miss Seltzer were our next victims. Mrs. Daniels was always playing with Earl Boyer's ears. Dick Wallace and Bob Miller weireVgsQcted from recess for two weeks for fighting like two-year olds. Lamar, Fuzz, and Wallace had to stay in school over the wlile dinner hour. DH they like school that much? At last we advanced to sixth grade where Mrs. Degler, Mrs. Wagner, and Mrs. Long tried to teach us. We thought we were pretty big because we were the oldest class in the building. Mrs. Long even took us to Hershey Park for a picnic on school time. We were soon put down to our own size when we entered the high school building. Frank Neiswender should remember his first meeting with Mr. Swank. Frank ran around a corner and bumped right into him. Ken Smith and Robert Snyder also met Mr. Swank and Mr. Loy when, at the noon hour, they set off a fire cracker in Miss Lambert's doorway and Mr. Loy saw them do it. Having mastered the art of getting through the halls and to our classes on time, we went to eighth grade. We all thought Miss Lambert was a wonderful teacher because she read to us, usually Black Hawk or The Wizard of Oz . Remember the time she tore Dale Daubert's shirt and he went in after school to make her fix it for him? Next we advanced to ninth grade. Here we took on the name of Freshmen. We were really excited when we got our green and gold class emblems and iackets. l wonder how many of us wear our class hats yet? Time flies so fast, that soon we were Sophomores. I believe all the Latin students remember how we got through this trying year with Mrs. Schultz. The notes from the seniors the year before certainly helped the cause. We will never forget good old Biology Class when we went outside and hunted specimens of weeds. That year all of the girls took a special interest in history. I wonder if it was because of our new history teacher, Mr. Eckenroth? We were slowly reaching the end of our school days. Now we were Juniors. In chemistry class Carl Scriniere cut his finger and Nancy Wagner almost had a fit. Mrs. Springer told us we should all have manners like Jack Lawder. Nancy Carroll and Janet Lehman were caught hooking school, thus the weight of detention followed. Lutz and Boyer had also taken a little vacation. Here we are Seniors at last. This year we took a long train ride to Hershey. Our shoes were worn out until we got to our seats which were air-conditioned. ln German Assembly Martin Swartz wore Roy Gingrich's garters so he could play a snappy tune. We are all looking forward to Graduation and wish to express our thanks to the teachers for put- ting up with us and for undertaking the hard task of teaching us. Good luck in the future to every- one at P.H.S. 34 Mary Blouch Evelyn Bell Nancy Lehman w Winnie Kreider Barbara Lebo Roy Kreiser Frank Eckert Art Gufshall 35 CLASS PROPHECY Here we are in the year of 1972, looking back on the class of 1952 to see what has been accom- plished since we passed through the portals of Palmyra High School.
