VI presented by THE SENIOR CLASS PALMYRA HIGH SCHCOL PALMYRA, PENNSYLVANIA FOREWORD The Moving Finger writesg and having writ, Moves ong nor all your Piety nor Wit Shall lure it back to cancel half a line, Nor all your Tears wash out a Word of it. -Omar Khayyam - Rubaiyat Yearbooks are the recordings of the moving lingers of a school. The hand on the cover has a glorious tale to tell of Palmyra High School, for the year 1955-1956 was one of many achievements in all phases of activity. Members of the Senior class received national recognition for scholastic en- deavors, clubs and musical organizations planned exceptional programs for both school and commu- nity, and athletic teams experienced a banner year when they brought all championship honors home to Palmyra. The PALM ECHO itself is unique - the moving linger has written a new chapter in yearbook styles, keeping the school ever in step with the changing world. So look in now to see what the hand of Time has written for Palmyra High School in 1955-1956. 2 MEMORIAM THEODORE RHOADS Born: August 12, 1938 Died: July 15, 1955 -,,,,,1 l DEDICATION MR.

Having achieved our goal, we are ready to graduate and wish to leave this brief history. In the first grade of school our teachers were Miss Bixler, Miss Greene, and Miss Turby. On the first day Cindy Deaven and Sis Stover cried their hearts out when their mothers left them alone in that big, horrible institution. However, Cindy, who would not meet defeat, left school immediately and arrived home before her mother. Impressions of Miss BixIer's ruler have been made clearly on the fingers of many well-meaning but ill-doing youngsters of this class. After our first experience with school, we were glad for the summer vacation, but eagerly returned in the fall for the second leg of our journey. Our tutors were Miss Etter, Mrs. Baer, and Miss Staik. This year Mrs. Witmer, a substitute, held a gigantic Christmas party for her students. We behaved considerably well and soon we were on the loose again to torture our parents during another summer vacation. By sneaking through the door most of us entered the third grade to find Mrs. Kettering, Miss Baum, and Miss Kreider waiting anxiously to mold us into little angels. However, before accomplishing this, Mrs. Kettering resorted to washing Glenn Smith's mouth out with soap because he used language occasionally which displeased her. After much deliberation, our teachers passed us on to the fourth grade where we were met by Mrs. Heisey, Miss Imboden, and Miss Evans. Everyone became quite adept at mathematical calculations when we operated the miniature grocery store in Miss Evans' class. The girls in Mrs. Heisey's class supervised a party for their teacher while the boys willingly helped with the surprise. The popular playground game this year was Red Rover with the girls playing against the boys. Onward, yet onward! Our fifth grade educators were Mrs. Hartz, Mrs. Kistler, and Mrs. Bomberger. Mrs. Hartz made Don Raynes put his temper in a bottle because it wanted to get out of control quite frequently. Appendicitis was popular among the girls with Carol Brightbill and Sis Stover both encountering this misfortune. Carol was so proud of her appendix that she brought them to school in a bottle to show off to her friends. One of our teachers was forced to make a quick exit when Johnny Troxell ripped his paint cloth in back of her to make hor think she had torn her dress. Trgis Z.. to Hershey and had an enjoy. able time. Elsie and Mac ' at eir teacher sat them at a table all alone so they could enjoy ea o ii- p y 5' S? yfw Staggering on to sixth grade, we were now the upper classmen of the grade school. Our teachers were Mrs. Wagner, Mrs. Gill, and Mrs. Long. Before we knew it, it was Christmas and Fred Goudy took the part of Santa Claus. Carol Brightbill had her first date when she and Mike Houser and Jan Lehman and Fred Goudy sat together in the movies one evening. Carol was too thrilled for words. Nature Boy Tom Brumbein brought a praying mantis to school and pretended to be amazed several days later when Mrs. Wagner's room was infested with the little animals. After a summer of leisure and anticipation, we, as timid youngsters, entered the halls of P. H. S. The seventh grade was a grand experience for us until we encountered the upperclassmen who pushed us around like mere children. However, we recovered from our humiliation by the older students and from our inability to read schedule cards and entered the eighth grade. This year we embarked in our dramatic career by presenting a play in assembly. During the intermission, several boys constituted a charming and graceful chorus line. In ninth grade we proudly chose red and gray as our class colors. Fred Goudy was tempo- rarily removed from class when he told one of our teachers that the first step in passing a bill in the House of Representatives was the cellar step. On the opening day of tenth grade Tom Grumbein and Marlin Fureman quit Latin Il because they could not bear the thought of spending the year with twelve girls when they were the only fellows. One day Mr. Bolger caught Judy and Jan shooting crap against the wall in geometry class. Judy was very disappointed because she was 5c ahead of Jeannette. It was too good to be true, when we as eleventh graders chose our class rings, which we wore with pride. This year the nature emerged from Tom Grumbein again. This time he was enter- taining everyone by eating imaginary frogs. We all got our driver's licenses in driver training class under the patient training of Mr. Harlacher. Even Jeannine Johe was able to sit still and stop giggling long enough to learn to drive and get her license. As Juniors we sponsored the Ir.-Sr. prom with the theme, Lilac Time. Then, at last, we were Seniors. We are indeed very proud of our championship athletic teams. It was a gala memorable time when Nancy Keener was crowned Harvest Moon Queen. Jeannine Jolie tried to introduce to the Senior girls a new course on how to be graceful but it was not too successful because she was not the most appropriate teacher, The boys began to grow beards along about April. Charlie Ford had his dyed so it would be more prominent. As we await vespers and commencement, we wish to say farewell to all whom we leave behind as we leave P. H. S. We want to thank all faculty members and any others who have made our graduation possible. Zoom - - - Here we go flying straight ahead into time. 1960, 1963, Here we are at 1966. While we are here let's see if we can find anyone whom we have known at P. H. S. back in 1956. Here comes someone who looks familiar. Oh yes, we see Lowell Mark and Brook Hunter. famous designers of the first space ship to reach Mars. They inform us that Betty Dove has just been voted the most popular airline hostess for Space Ships, Inc. Next we see Dr. Mary Bucher who has just perfected a new cure for cancer. She introduces us to her pretty young nurse, whom we immediately recognize as Marilyn Bucher. From them we learn that Dr. Irvin Hess has recently opened a new office in town and has Polly Heisey as his nurse. Other news from the medical space world soon reaches us. The Polyclinic Hospital has just acquired a new Supervisor of Nurses, Peggy Shonk. We see that Arlene Wampler is working in the children's clinic at the same hospital. Ruth Frantz is the head nurse at General Hospital. We are assured that our country is well protected when we learn that Rodney Kelly, and Gene Brubaker are top men in the Air Force: John Brinser the Navy: and Carl Brandt and Donald Long are high officials in the Army. is also in the service of our country. With Charles Ford as an airplane engineer and Ronald Bomgardner as an chanic, our planes are kept in top-notch condition. the Harrisburg Ronald Evans. is representing Robert Philips Air Force me- Don Kreider. a traveling salesman, has just talked Carol Davies, Pat Hunberger, and Carolyn Hammer into buying big economyvsized vacuum cleaners to keep their homes spic and span. Marlin Fureman has just published his book, The Advantages of Polygumy. We Find that all former girls of P.H.S. are looking beautiful since Janet Bomgardner has opened her beauty shop. Donnie Clark has become an expert pin ball operator. Looking into the sports world we see Bosh Lehman being named best all around atlile-te of the world. We also see Margaret Wolfe participating in the Olympics. Next we see Bob Kapp as star quarterback on a famous football team. Mickey Murphy proudly heads the band at this important event. Glenn Hitz is now.Ei,v.1,,:,u EEL rf:-: :f,:EvnlE:l,i ng his own classes :tl tht- Hershey Sports arena. Now into our view s--1 :' 3 th new enlarged P.H.S, We ami Carol Brightbill and Lynn Burns busy training the new cheering squad. Several new tenuliers have joined the teaching force, which we left behind in 1956. This includes .Joanne Sanders, Mary O'Brien, Jane Bahner, Jeannette Lehman, Jeannine Johe, and Linda Berman. We also see Fred Goudy coaching his championship football team. Next we enter the business world. Leonard Shoemaker is president of a large business concern. His large secretarial force includes: Elsie Diehl, Barbara Zemba, Joann Witmer. and Donna Dimm. Wilma Bucher is well known as the world's shorthand speed champion while .loan Clark holds the typing speed championship. Cindy Deaven is new secretary to a famous lawyer, but better enjoys the role of serving as his wife. Frances Rodeffer has just been appointed president of The Valley Trust Bank. Dawn Eberly, using her experience which she gained by working in an electrical shop, ic taking business away from the experts by fixing all the electrical appliances for on her block. the housewives We look in on a meeting of some of the town's most prominent business executives: Miki- Houscr, Robert Meyer, and Richard Hetrick. Marlin Wagner, a C.P.A. in town, has just hired a new secretary, Phyllis Spangler. Larry Brown's green grocery stores are running in competition with Ronald Lutz's Super Markets. Pat Hinkle, who is now the owner of Bomgardners Dairy Snack, has .lean Hein managing the secretarial end of the business. Ada's Grocery Store has greatly expanded under the management of Ethel Bowers and In-r two assistants, Shelby Nye and Evelyn Matthews. Sis Stover is now head of Lee's Five-and-Ten-Store with Carol Snavely working for her, Joseph Lauck is now managing Lauck's store with Ronald Folk as his chief salesman. Bob McCafIerty, the famous ski instructor, has just established an exquisite skiing lodgi- with Nancy Keener as his charming receptionist. Incidentally, Nancy was just elected Snow Queen of the resort. We see Tom Grumbein and Judy Hunsicker are busy raising little Grumbeins. Mrs. Herr, the former Dorothy Kline, is also rearing a family. Other girls of P.H.S. who are now homemakers are: Beverly Simmers, Bernice Eslielinun, Marian George, Mabel Gerlach, Gayle Hunberger, and Doris May. Sandra Loy and her husband are managing a chain of Furst's lce Cream stores. Harry Light and Glenn Smith are working for General Motors as auto mechanics. Glenn Horst's T.V. station is well known as the station on which the most famous celebrities appear. Some of those appearing most recently are: Rose Donmoyer, the famous comediennm-. Emma Smith, who has inherited Liberace's talents, and Ira Light, who has taken Arthur Murf ray's place as a dancing instructor, John Troxell is now a noted gunsmith, serving all the sportsmen in the nearby vicinity. We see Donald Raynes struggling up snowy mountain trails to deliver bread to Bob Forney who is on duty as forest ranger. Now we must leave 1966 and return to the present time again. However, only when wi- really reach 1966 will we known if these predictions are true! , l 1 Orlo Brees How Big is Your World? , asked Mr. Brees. In this day and age the world is smaller travel- wise, but horizons are becoming greater than ever. ln order to enlarge their own worlds, the Seniors were given the following advice: 1.

Viewers of the third conference game saw Palmyra run roughshod over a poor Solanco teamg a fourth league game was won when the team played fine ball to defeat Manheim Township. Stepping out of the league, the Palmyra team faced a highly favored Central Dauphin team, but, by outplaying and out fighting the oppo- sition, the Palms achieved a 6-0 victory. An easy game with Governor Mifflin afforded the Palms a breather, butlthey met stiffer opposition from a big Manheim Central team. With identical 8-0 records the Palms and the Hummelstown Bulldogs met, and after a hard fought battle the Bulldogs emerged the victor. Still the season was completed on the right note, as the Palms bounced back to defeat an inspired E-town team 13-7.

After the first few games, the team caught fire and swept through their county schedule undefeated. In doing so, they handed Annville two of the worst defeats of the season. Having completed the county portion of the season, the team entered the District, received a bye, and then slaughtered a hapless Hamburg five to move into the District semi-finals. Here they lost to Columbia, one of the strongest teams in the state, by nine points. The old saying that a team is only as good as its coach truly applies to this Palmyra team and coach. Since coming to Palmyra in 1948-49, Coach Shupper's basketball teams have compiled an outstanding record of 128 wins and only 38 losses. Irv.

While losing only five games, the team displayed great rebounding, fine scoring, and fine floorwork. 88 BASKETBALL ALL-STARS Row 1: Bob Kapp. Row 2:. Ralph Lehman, Fred Goudy. Row 3: Bob Forney, Robert Meyer, lrvin Hess. SENIOR BASKETBALL Among the seniors graduating with the class of 1956 is captain Bosh Lehman, the high scorer of both the team and the all-county league, who was also third in rebounds and assists on the team. He did a fine bit of floorwork in breaking up the full- court press. Bob Kapp, the diminutive guard, was the teamis top playmaker. A fine dribbler and a good shot, he rebounded well for his small stature. Bob Forney, the third senior on the starting five, was second in scoring on the team - second also in re- bounding. Fred Goudy, Irvin Hess, and Bob Meyer pro- vided tbe necessary reserve strength. Playboys ? 89 Palmyra and Annville players again were dom- inant in the annual Lebanon Daily News All-Star Team. In addition to having two men on the first team, Palmyra also had one player on the second team and one who received honorable mention.

With such established veterans in county league play as Bosh Lehman, Fred Goudy, Don Clark, Bob Kapp, Les Holstein, and Bill Longenecker, the team was picked to repeat as champions, and repeat they did. In winning the Eastern title, the Palms had six straight victories before losing one game each to East Lebanon and Annville. These losses, however, were due to sloppy fielding on the part of Palmyra - all the runs scored by the opponents were unearned. When the championship game arrived, Don Clark, the veteran righthander, proved equal to the task ahead. Clark came off the mound the victor against Bill Fulk of Myerstowng there were two earned runs in the game, be- longing to Palmyra. Among the players given recognition on the All-star teams were Don Clark and Fred Goudy, pitchers, Ralph Lehman, catcher, Bob Kapp, shortstopg Les Holstein, first base, and Bob Feeman, outfielder.
