Fridy, H. Meily 35 w W i W CLASS HISTURY One eventful September day in 1941, we were a group of innocent, frightened, and uneducated boys and girls eagerly awaiting to begin our adventure of the next twelve years, which would transform us into mature, dignified, and fully educated ladies and gentlemen. Having acquired our poise, knowledge, and various skills, we are now ready to graduate. On our departure we wish to leave behind this history which will forever be recorded upon these pages. We were first taught our ABC's by Miss Bixler, Miss Green, and Miss Turby. Discipline was made easier for our teachers because of our fear of a phantom paddling machine which was supposedly kept in the office. The girls were terrified to go down to the basement for their chocolate milk because the big bad boys always hid behind the steps to scare them. Wilbur Smith and Ruth Anna Smith made big plans to elope because their last names were the same. Also Carl I-Ioffer took great pleasure in chasing the girls around the room trying to kiss them. After our first experience with school, we welcomed summer vacation, but by September we were ready to set out on our second year. Mrs. Baer, Miss Staik, and Mrs. Witner had the pleasure of tutoring our eager little minds. This year was the beginning of a great romance between Shirley Longenecker and Karl Shenk. Miss Staik found it necessary to put blinders on Roger Forry because he had wandering eyes. At our annual Halloween party Janet Rudegeair had the honor of being the last one guessed. We must have been awfully bad that year because the corners of Miss Staik's room were always filled. After a summer of fun and leisure, we entered third grade. Miss Baum, Miss Berry, and Miss Moyer took up the diffi- cult job of educating us. This year Ruth Longenecker had to stand in the hall because she talked too much. Our favorite pastime now was the never-to-be -forgotten wars between the girls and the boys. When we were at peace, we joined our forces in numerous games ofRed Rover and Three Step Minky. A great dramatic production, the Sleeping Beauty was presented this year with Lois Jones and Paul Lehman in the leading roles. At this time the big thrill of our lives was when by hook or crook, we acquired a piece of the treasured bubble gum. Before we knew it, we found ourselves in fourth grade where our teachers were Miss Evans, Mrs. Heisey, and Miss Imboden. A new organization, the Play Mate Club, came into existence with June Fridy, Mary Louise Kline, and Nancy Grace all trying torun it. At this time, Kenny Lehman got a crush on Cathy Hoover, who had just joined us from Ann- ville. A major crime was committed when Herb Meily, who always ate his lunch at school, was caught reading ahead in the Times and Places book. Miss Evan's faith inhim was temporarily shattered. A new romance blossomed out this year between Marianne Reider and Bob Farnsler. I'm sure Miss Imboden's pupils will never forget the staggering load of homework imposed upon them that year. Time marches on. Assuming the responsibility of our fifth grade education were Mrs. Bomberger, Mrs. Eby, and Miss Seltzer. Madeline Lehman caused quite an excitement when she dropped the fish bowl and it broke on the radiator with fish all over the floor. Rodney Killian had to stand in the closet because he asked Bobbie Unger how the weather was in there. Miss Seltzer made hlm see for himself. About this time Anita Wentling and Faye Bucks got snowsuits alikeg everybody thought they were twins. At last we arrived in sixth grade, big wheels now. Undertaking the tremendous task of teaching such an outstand- ing group were Mrs. Daniels, Mrs. Long, and Mrs. Wagner. Our health habits were immensely improved by Mrs. Daniel's rigid inspection lines, punctuated by frequent ruler slaps for dirty fingernails. Our manpower was greatly in- creased by Jack Brandt, Dale Dry, and Donnie Firestone. Peggy Wolfgang was princess of the Harvest Moon Ba ll. One day the Big Five , Nancy Poorman, Mary Lou Gingrich, Carol Moyer, Eileen Tittle, and Janice Gingrich, went to Mrs. Daniel's house to find out who had the nicest legs because they couldn't make the decision themselves. No one has given in yet! The big thrill came in reading class when the new method of boy-calls-on-girl was established. That year Mrs. Long's class took an exciting trip to Philadelphia. The following year as timid, bashful seventh graders in our new environment, we were quite different from the self-assured, boisterous sixth graders that were before. We could easily be picked out from the veterans because we always had our faces buried in our schedule cards. Having struggled our way through seventh, we entered eighth grade a little more wise in the ways of high school. However in the mad rush from gym class one day, Joyce Capp came into math class with her skirt inside out. High- lighting our freshman year was the variety show we put on in assembly. Much hidden talent was discovered through this production. We were very proud of our blue and white class jackets which now became a common sight around the school. As sophomores, we sponsored our first big dance, the Disc Dance. It was a great success. The geometry class proved very versatile by developing its own mixed chorus. That year we had a mock wedding at the Latin party. Johnny Shenk and Carol Mark tried so hard to be a serious bride and groom. Now we were Juniors and had almost reached our goal. Driver Training was established at P.H.S.. and suddenly everyone possessed a driver's license. At Christmas we received our attractive class rings which we had all eagerly awaited. We sponsored the Jr. Sr. Prom, which was the big event of the year. Seniors at last! Now we are eagerly awaiting graduation, which is the final goal of all our school days. We bid a grateful farewell to all those who have made this graduation possible through their guidance and instruction. 38 ... ,......, .

It must be lnvel 39 I i CLASS PROPH ECY As the mist clears from Madame Zaza 's Mystic Crystal, our future unfolds before our astonished eyes. Some of the revelations may seem practically unbelievable, but remember, Madame Zaza sees all, knows all, and tells all. Appearing first in our mystic crystal is the picturesque Rose Bowl game in which we see scorekeeper Eva Wagner has become very confused by the many touchdowns made by Donnie Firestone, Russ Teahl, Glenn Bashore, and Jack Brandt. Famed sports announcer, John Shenk, gives a vivid account of the game. Janice Shirk makes a lovely queen of this gala event. Heading the snappy band is high -stepping majorette, Peg Kreiser. Moving on in the world ofsports,we see the Bloomer Babes from Bushville High coached by Mary Lou Gingrich fight- ing it out with the Sneaky Six of Shrub City High coached by Ruth Longenecker for the state basketball championship. As you know Faye Bucks has become captain of the international girls' hockey team of which Carl I-loffer is the sole owner. Next we see a large chain of markets, owned and operated exclusively by Barbara Bucher. Incidently, she receives most of the produce for it from the spacious acres of Ruth Anna and Mel's farm. Coming into view is an enormous building which is the headquarters for a giant secretive business run by Roger Forry, We know this must be a very important business, athough we don't quite know what it is. Working for him are naany efficient secretaries: Madeline Lehman, Delores Cobaugh, Marianne Reider, Gail Smith, Miriam Yeich, and P yllis Peters. Interesting to note, Nancy Felker has become a door to door saleswoman for the Lebanon Valley Petroleum, Inc. We see Joyce Capp, medical receptionist, rushing home to prepare supper for Milt and all the little Garrisons. Cathy and Derr are crazy about their lovely new home on Forge Acres. Gazing upward we can detect Carl Umberger and Danny Blackwell being arrested by Rodney Killian, interplanetary cop, for exceeding the speed limit between Mars and Earth in their hot -rod rockets, which are kept in excellent con- dition by expert mechanic, Bert Gussler. Pauline Blouch has just written a book entitled 100 Easy Ways to Stay Out of School. Sylvia Adey, famous violinist, is now kept busy with Bud, Jr. Janice Gingrich and Carol Mark were honored by being voted two of the Ten Best Dressed Women in America. A thriving dating bureau catering to all men from six to sixty has been opened by Erelene Hinkle, Rhodamae Kleinfel- ter, and Shirley Longenecker. ' Donnie Herr is the proud operator of the Safe and Sound taxi service in New York City. He got his experience dodging noon hour traffic at P.H.S. Ellie and Kennie Lehman have recently moved into a beautiful new home which Ken built entirely by himself. Nancy Landis has made good use of her chemistry classes by inventing a new, improved formula for peroxide. Nancy Grace is having a difficult time trying to teach Shirley Klopp's youngest to play the piano. Amelia Lauck is the new Manager of Lauck's 'tore with Fay Heilman and Mary Ellen Heisey as head clerks. Bob Farnsler was awarded the title of World 's Greatest Bigamist. Running in close competition were Fred Neiswender and Bruce Stark. My how they have changed since their days in P.H.S.! Academy award winning actress, Eileen Tittle, is still breaking the hearts of her many admirers. Popular model, Pat Schimpf, whose hairstyling is done by her private beautician, Janet Rudegeair, has been fea- tured in Glamour, Madamoiselle, and Vogue. Designing the model's exotic new creations are Janet Umberger and Lois Jones. June Fridy has now become head nurse at Lankenau Hospital. Elnora Long and Peggy Wolfgang are successful nurses at the Polyclinic. As we gaze across the continent we see Wilbur Smith doing a fine job teaching Africian children. Concert pianist, Anita Wentling, is already famous for her performances in Carnegie Hall. Nancy's and Boyd's quintettes compose the entire P.H.S. basketball team. Looking into the entertainment world we see Audrey Spancake has became famous for her outstanding portrayals of lady Macbeth. Monk Swartz has replaced Milton Berle as King of Comedy on television. T.V. star Marian Lefever, who beganrher career on Channel 15, is well known for her yodeling. In Mary Eby's first grade class are Gayle's and Roy's little girl and Verna's and Paul's little boy. Marcia Jackson has been arrested by F.B.l. man Dick Stover for stealing hearts. Shirley Trostle has finally cut her hair and sold it to Dale Dry, as his hasn't grown back since he cut it. Emylou and Carl are busy raising their little wrestling champs. Herb Meily, who long ago replaced Einstein, is congratulating Ken Plessinger on discovering the fourth dimension. Janet Root has made a name for herself, as she is the only person ever to out-talk Godfrey. Howard Summy has become chef of the Waldorf Astoria. I wonder why their patronage is suddenly decreasing. Lois Wagner has worked her way up from county treasurer to first woman president of the U.S. h Paul Lehman has made big money selling the Motts to the Smithsonian Institute. No wonder he's kept it all t ese years. Marietta Shuey has become housemother of a large Industrial School Unit. Mac Seely earns a huge salary as head publicity man of the U.S. Navy. Thelma Lebo has taken Dorothy Dix's place as writer of Advice to the Lovelorn. , Ronnie Yeich made a small fortune by writing killer -thriller pocketbooks. He got his information from the many he read in school. This is our future as Madame Zaza predicts. Only time will tell whether her predictions will come true. 40 l ha s A W -,sm 1, , X x This is really deep! ! I'1l be over at 7:00 Don't believe a word of it!

WHAT HAS OUR MUSIC DEPARTMENT ACCOMPLISHED? Our music departments have accomplished much to be proud of during the past year. The choruses presented a Christmas Candlelight Service and also a most enjoyable Spring Concert. The Girls Glee Club presented several ap- propriate selections at Baccalaureate, while the Junior Choir put on a variety show for the P. T. A. The Girls Ensemble, composed of twelve talented girls of the senior class, entertained many of the civic groups of Palmyra, the Mil- ton Hershey School, the Good Samaritan Hospital Auxiliary, the Campbelltown Community Party, and participated in the Commencement Exercises. The Band made several successful recordings for the Lebanon radio sta- tion, and also gave a performance at the annual band concert. It participated in many parades such as the Halloween Parade and the Memorial Day Parade. It has been noted for its precision and willingness to perform for us at every football game. We can well be proud of the never-tiring work of our excellent music de- partment.

CLUB ACHIEVEMENTS During the past year our club activities have been nuxnerous and varied. The Future Homemakers of America sent clothing packages to Korea and Christmas parcels to the crippled children's home. They made and sold candy apples at the football games, had a swimming and a bowling party, several food sales, a de- lightful New Year's Eve dance, and a mother-daughter banquet to climax the years' activities. The Business Club was entertained by interesting movies and speakers , a tour of several banks and the Farm Bureau, and a farewell party for the seniors. A picnic, dances, parties, and a wonderful assembly were the high- lights of the activities of the German Club. Speakers and singing also added to the making of enjoyable club periods. The Hi-Y Club sponsored a dance, had teen talks, and also sent representatives to the All-State Model Government and the Executive Council of the South-Central District. The Biology Club had many individual and group projects, which were carried out successfully by its mem- bers, while the Science Club went on a trip to Mil1ard's Lime Plant, did work on fingerprinting, and on several other projects. The Art Club should be commend- ed for the excellent decorations which they provided for the Spring Concert, Christmas Candelight Service,C1ass Plav,and various other activities during the year. 71 f Q. . xx fnusx m00d Wu Laughing b Sewing the Oy.

Inthe season opener at Ephrata the Palms came out on top by a 20-0 margin as Russ Teahl scored on the opening play. The home opener then saw Palmyra defeat Litiz Z8-12 before almost three thousand fans. The Palms suffered their lone loss of the season in bowing to Hershey 25- 7. Don Firestone ran 85-yards for our lone score. The Orange and Black then bounced back by trouncing both Solanco and Manheim Twp, by a 34-0 count. At Swatara Palmyra emerged from a hardfought contest with a 13-7 win. The ' game was marked by terrific defensive play on both sides. The Palms continued V on their winning ways by shutting out Biglerville and Manheim Boro by identical B scores of 26-0. Bert Gussler paul Lehman 86 B m - l 1 m 1 1 T . Ken Lehman R053 Seely In the final game of the season Palmyra thumped E-Town 35-6 as Gleen Ba- shore scored on long runs of 71 and 55 yards. This game brought their record to eight wins and one loss. It was also the twenty-seventh consecutive league game without a loss. ' The entire team and coaching staff did a great job throughoutthis memorable season. The boys onthis page and the preceding page have played their last game as members of the Palmyra High School football team. All of them contributed a great deal to the success of the team, and their absence will surely be felt by Coach Shupperin future years. Their inspirati ' ' ' bered ' on and spirit will long be remem- as well as their tremendous playing ability. RUSS Team Ron Yeich te A., I 87 UN IDR HIGH i .

KNEELING, left to right: Mary Lou Gingrich, Eleanor Shay, co-captains. The 1953 season has been most successful for hockey. With only a few practices the team unexpectedly came out on top when it faced the rough compe- tition of Annville, Myerstown, and South Lebanon teams at playday. By winning two games and tying one, the team displayed a marvelous example of good playing and sportsmanship. We can be proud of their records and achievements.

However, it was a highly suc - cessful season as they posted an overall record of thirteen wins and five losses. Don Firestone and John Yohn were elected to the first string Lebanon County All-Star Team, a tribute to the ability of these two outstanding players. This squad will be remembered for their fine spirit and team co-operation. Lack of height proved to be their downfall. Both coach and team did a tremen- dous job throughout the season.

The breaks went against them, however, as they lost two games in the late innings by only one run. The Palms had a chance to tie Annville for the championship but were de- feated by the Dutchmen 2-1 in an eight inning affair. Don Clark, a sophomore, was the mainstay on the pitching staff as he won three games and pitched great ball throughout the entire season, Russ Teahl, the leading hitter on the squad, climaxed four years ofvarsity ball by receiving the Dick Fidler Baseball Award, which is given to the most valuable player.
