DOROTHY J. CARD 45 yiiniil' 15. Q. .A Earl in the fall of nineteen-forty, thirty-two freshmen Sled into Room Mr. Keene was to act as homeroom teacher to this group of greenhorns. At first we were rather timid about our endeavors, but after the so homores' initiation, during which the girls had to wear an apron, one long and one short stocking and the boys, bow neckties and odd socks with the trouser legs rolled up in order to see the color scheme, we be an our high school li'e by electing officers. Kenneth Beane was elected as the one most likely to become president of the United States, James Snyder, vice-president, Jean Kellenberger, secretary 5 Miriam Hershe , treasurer. Mr. Kutz was our class advisor. The class was dividedy into two sections. Section A was the angel'3 section, but B was quite a circus. While the teachers tried to keep the boys awake Cincluding Charlie Snyder and Franklin Mummawj, they had to shout at the gir s to keep them quiet. Miss Sara Brown was the homeroom teacher of us silly sophs. First we elected class officers. With the aid of Mr. Shuman as class advisor, Kenneth Beane was chosen as president, Ruth Dull, viceriipresidentg Jean Kellenberger, secretary, Dorothy Clark, treasurer. hen Miss Brown took up er task of settling us down and teaching us second year Latin and ancient history. Oh, how we struggled through those two subjects! But through these difficult times we became increasingly aware of our two new classmates, Miriam Weaver, the irl with more brains than the whole class put together and Robert Chisholm, the guy who writes all Jack Benny's jokes. When We held our first roller- skating party in February, several of our class members insisted on wiping up the door. Then the class assembly program we gave that ear was so good we were invited to give it at New Holland High School. Along with the nervousness we had goes this special memory. Jake Stoltzfus drove home that afternoon with Miriam , Esther, and Lois in the back seat, but as they passed Jack's Chevy' doing about 75, the seat flew out from under the girls. Were you really scared, girls? At last we were juniors. Jolly Juniors they called us and we certainly had fun. Miss Adams, our homeroom teacher and advisor, and Miss Beach, now Mrs. Waltz, came to pass on their knowled e to us. ,We selected Bill Frew for president, Carl Hohman, vice-president, Ruth Dull, secretary, and Maurice Benner as treasurer. Then to get started since there could be no Junior Play and other social events requiring recious rationed gas, we decided to hold a Victory Style Fun Night. Vge showed our talents with a killer-diller floor show com- plete with an operation. Transportation was by bus or by foot. Spring came, and the Junior-Senior banquet stared us straight in the face. Althou h we had canned music and skimped gas, May 14 brought the entire .funior and Senior Classes in fine array to the Spanish Tavern at Quarryville. We certainly hope our guests, the Senior Class of 1943, enjoyed the ham dinner as much as we did. Toward the end of the year our class rings finally came. Although we had waited long, we found they were just as pretty as we had expected. At last we were seniors, ready to start our last year at Paradise High School. This ear we welcomed two new members to our class, Betty Shirk and Ear?'Usner. Then for class officers we chose Kenneth Beane, resident, Carl Hohman, vice-president, Betty Shirk, secretary, and Rlaurice Benner, treasurer, with Mrs. Gard as class advisor. The o retta was the first majpr event. In Old Vienna starred Lois Slizaffer, Kenny Beane, Bo Denlinger, Jack Acker, Jean Kellenberger, and Donald Hershey from our class. In December we were hosts to the high school at a C ristmas Dance at which Esther Rynier portrayed Santa Claus, and Earl Usner recited 'Twas the Night Before Christ- mas. The senior 'rls were undefeated for the championshi in the basketball season. lin February we held a dance after the New Elilolland basketball game for all students, alumni, and friends of both schools. A few days before the dance the class met at Bob Denlinger's to make potato chips, but never again! The class chose a mystery farce, Aunt Susie Shoots the Works, to be held on March 31 and April 1. We hope it will be a great success. All this time we worked on the yearbook. Only you readers can tell us whether our time was worth our effort. Now we look forward to graduation, the one big night which will stand out in every senior's mind. Thirteen JOHN R. ACKER Jackie Bob Tanawan Circulation Staff, Fire Patrol 1, 2, 3, 4, Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4, Varsity Basketball Captain 3, Softball 1, 2, Band 1, 2, 3, Boys' Glee Club 1, Mixed Chorus 1, 2, 3, 4, Operetta Lead 1, 2, 3, 4. Hailing from Kinzer is the big boy who is quite frequently seen burning up the road in that maroon Chevrolet. Although a happy-go-lucky lad, John has been one of the stars on the basketball squad. His kindness and good humor will always be remembered at Paradise. KENNETH F. BEANE uKennyu Tanawan Photography Staff: Fire Patrol 3, 4, Pioneer Staff 1, 2, School Patrol 1, Class President 1, 2, 4, Track 1, 2, 3, Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4, Intramurals 1, 2, 3, 4, Softball 1, 2, Band 2, 3, 4, Orchestra 3, 4, Boys' Glee Club 1, Mixed Chorus 1, 2, 3, 4, Operetta Lead 3, 4. Kenny, that 'tBlonde Bomber of the Senior Class, really sends the girls for a spin when his hair is in place. Kenneth happens to be one of the big reasons Paradise had a successful basketball team this year. Everyone around the school will miss his fine quality of leadership and his wit. MAURICE F. BENNER llMickn Tanawan Editorial Staff , Pioneer Stafi' 1, 2, 3, 4, Class Treasurer 3, 4, Track 1, 2, 3, Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4, Intramurals 1, 2, 3, 4, Softball 1, 2, Band 1, 2, 3, 4, Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 4, Mixed Chorus 3, 4. f'Mick,'l although small in stature, takes a very active part in activities around the school. He is always very efficient in getting done whatever he is told to do, whether it is class work, sports, or any other task. It is plain to be seen that Maurice will be a success in any job he undertakes. DOROTHY M. CLARK unofll Tanawan Editorial Staff , Pioneer Staff 2, 3, 4, Class Treasurer 2, Intramurals 1, 2, 3, 4, Girls' Glee Club 1, Mixed Chorus 2, 3, 4. Dot's efficient work will gain her much prosperity in the world. She has been a competent worker on the staff of our school paper, not to exclude her toil with the yearbook. Al- though she is a good sports participant, her secret ambition is to enter the teaching field. Fourteen . J. ROLAND DAN NER non Tanawan Advertising Staff 5 Pioneer Staff 2, 3, 45 School Patrol 15 Basketball Manager 45 Intramurals 1, 2, 3, 45 Boys' Glee Club 25 Mixed Chorus 2. Roll is the freckle-faced little boy from Gordonville who, contrary to facts, has little or no temper, in spite of his red hair. Nothing can keep him down. He's like rubber always bouncing back for more. Incidentally, this year Roll has finally broken the ice and has become acquainted with the weaker sex. ROBERT C. DENLINGER nsobll Tanawan Editorial Staff 5 Pioneer Staff 1, 2, 3, 45 Cheerleader 25 Intramurals 1, 2, 3, 45 Boys' Glee Club 1, 2, 35 Mixed Chorus 1, 2, 3, 45 Operetta Lead 2, 3, 4. Getting something done? proves to be the slogan of Bob. This boy is really efficient when it comes to staff and committee work. Because nothing seems too much for him to do, he plows right through with a smile on his face. With his ability he'll go far in life. RUTH J. DULL Ruthie Tanawan Editorial Staff 5 Pioneer Staff 2, 3, 45 Class Vice- resident 25 Class Secretary 35 Fire Patrol 45 Librarian 2, 3, 45 Iintramurals 1, 2, 3, 4. A good combination of beauty and brains signifies Ruth Dull. She has taken a fine part in numerous class activities, staff work and class offices. Ruthie should be able to smile her way through life without any trouble. GLORIA A. FEISTER nToohll Tanawan Circulation Staf1'5 Intramurals 1, 2, 3, 45 Girls' Glee Club 1, 25 Mixed Chorus 1, 2, 3, 4. Toots, quite charming with her blue eyes and blonde hair, has innumerable friends and is always full of fun. When it comes to sports and dancing, shels right on the spot. Fifteen WILLIAM W. FREW sau Tanawan Advertising Manager, School Patrol 1, 2, Class Presi- dent 3. Basketball Manager 1, 2, 3, 4, Pioneer Staff 2, 3, 4, Intramurals 1, 2, 3, 4, Boys' Glee Club 1, Mixed Chorus 2, 3, 4. Can you bake a cherry pie, Billy Boy? Perhaps he can't, but he manages quite a few other activities at school such as basketball, business activities, first honor roll, and even girls. He's on his way up the ladder of success, and we have no doubts that he'll get to the top. MARY E. GRAYBILL Tanawan Advertising Staff , Intramurals 1, 2, 3, 4, Girls' Glee Club 1, 2. Although Mary is rather shy, she is extremely good-natured. She can always be depended upon for assistance whether .in lessons or in sports. Her quiet, pleasant ways and capabilities will go far toward success. PAULINE J. HERR npeenyn Tanawan Art Department, Intramurals 1, 2, 3, 4, Girls' Glee Club 2, Mixed Chorus 2, 3, 4. A'Peeny is that bashful little girl with the dark curly tresses. She is always active in sports, being a successful forward on the senior basketball team. There is one correction, though. We are not too sure about the bashful part, are we, Peeny ? WILBUR R. HERR llaillll Tanawan Photography Staff , Pioneer Staff 1, 2, 3, 4, Track 1, 2, Intramurals 1, 2, 3, 4, Band 1, 2, 3, 4, Orchestra 1, 2, 3, Mixed Chorus 1, 2, 3, 4, Here comes that boy who is seen quite often cowboying a 1929 Chevrolet truck with the advertisement, Herr's Store, on the side. HBill has given good service as timekeeper for the basketball team and has shown eager willingness to help in any job around the school. Sixteen DONALD J. HERSHEY Hood Tanawan Editorial Staff , Pioneer Staff 1, 2, 3, 4, Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4, Softball 1, 2, Intramurals 1, 2, 3, 4, Band 1, 2, 3, 4, Orchestra 3, 4, Boys' Clee Club 1, 2, 3, Mixed Chorus 1, 2, 3, 4, Operetta Lead 2, 4. 1' Never a dull moment when I'm around describes Hood to a HT. Despite his pranks Donald has been a good tromboner in the band and orchestra, not to forget his tenor voice in mixed chorus and operettas. He is active in all sports, too. Keep up the tempo, Hood, and you will go places. CARL HOHMAN. JR. Tanawan Circulation Manager, Pioneer Staff 2, 3, 4, School Patrol 1, 2, 3, Class Vice-President 3, 4, Basketball 1, 3, 4, Softball 1, 2, ntramurals 1, 2, 3, 4, Boys' Glee Club 1, 2, Mixed Chorus 2, 3, 4. Carl, whose playing on the basketball team this year has won him recognition in that field, is a good example of the strong, silent type. His interests are centered around the Naval Air Corps of which he hopes to become a part. Won't he look nice in a uniform? JEAN I. KELLENBERGER ll ' ll Jeanne Tanawan Circulation Staff, Fire Patrol 1, 2, 3, Class Secretary 1, 2, Drum Majorette 2, 3, 4, Track 1, Intramurals 1, 2, 3, 4, Cheerleader 1, 2, 3, 4, Manager of Sports 2, Orchestra 4, Girls' Glee Club 1, 2, Mixed Chorus 1, 2, 3, 4, Operetta Lead 4. With a smile on her face, Jeanie sails through life. Her winning ways have given her many friends. When she plays basketball, she certainly keeps the scorekeeper busy. The class is certainly grateful to her for the piano playing she did in assem- bly piiograms and entertainments. Without it they would have been ost. PAULINE M. MOWRER Paul Tanawan Art Staff , Librarian 3, Orchestra 3. That friendly smile belongs to Pauline. Her pleasing person- ality which has won her many friends around school will certainly gain for her many customers in the beauty salon she hopes to have in the future. Seventeen NORMAN RESSLER nskeeu Tanawan Photography Staff, Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4, Intramurals 2, 3, 4, Softball 2, Mixed Chorus 4. One of the true wits of the Senior Class is Norman, alias Skee. His main objectives are a job, a Chevy, and a junior. We wish him luck in life, but judging from his actions Skee will probably be able to take care of himself quite well. DOROTHY G. ROHRER llbotll Tanawan Art Editor, Intramurals 1, 2, Girls' Glee Club 1, 2, 3, Mixed Chorus 2, 3, 4. 'A Dotn is the one student in the class who has accomplished a wonderful feat-A in French! She is a good worker which is demonstrated by her excellent help with the yearbook art work. With her pleasant personality she will be able to laugh life's troubles away. ESTHER M. RYNIER ubicku Tanawan Advertising Staff, Mana er of Sports 1, 3, 4, Track 1, Intramurals 1, 2, 3, 4, Girls' Glee Club 1, 2, Mixed Chorus 1, 2, 3, 4. As a basketball guard Esther really knows what she is doing. However, not only in basketball is she talented, but her singing and piano playing have helped the seniors many a time. She seeslthe bright side of many a dark cloud, and her one hobby is gigg ing. LOIS E. SHEAFFER Herb Editor-in-Chief of Tanawan, Pioneer Staff 1, 2, 3, 4, Fire Patrol 3, 4, Intramurals 1, 2, 3, 4, Baton Twirler 2, 3, 4, Band 1, 2, 3, 4, Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 4, Mixed Chorus 1, 2, 3, 4 , Operetta Lead 2, 3, 4. Here comes another of the talented musicians of the class of 1944. Leads in operettas ever since her sophomore year justify this. Jolliness, dependability and friendliness are all numbered among Herbie's traits. Little wonder she was chosen as Editor- in-Chief of the Tanawan. Eighteen BETTY J. SHIRK llseityll Tanawan Editorial Staff g Class Secretary 45 Intramurals 4. Betty, a Salisbury graduate, has chosen Paradise High as a steppingstone to college. Although she had only been with us a few weeks she was chosen class secretary. Along with a lovely personality, Betty is a good student and plays the piano with the best of them. EARL C. USNER Uaio Tanawan Editorial Staff 5 Intramurals 4. Giggle here, giggle there, giggle, giggle everywhere! It's Usie, the little bundledof nerges tfiathwasi donaged us bby Salisbury. Hc's ready to 0 an t ing or is cass. emem er that poem he recited at the ghristmas dance or those class games at noon? Above all, Earl has proved to be a good student and a good sport. gtaclua tion pay In the past four years of high school days, We've worked to learn the world's best ways. We studied our science and our math, We controlled our giggles and our laughs. Graduation has come at last, The final parting is approaching fast. Will we remember all the faces? Of course, we will, in all their places. Now we are thrown into the future strife Where we must carry on our life, The life which we have tried to mold, To live, to learn, and to hold. Each of us will go his way, But we shall return some day To live again our past together, Which will remain in our minds forever. BETTY SHIRK.

'EDU-1 How many dreams do each of us own Thinking of tomorrow, Dreams of days when we've homes of our own Free from grief and sorrow? Then school days with their mem'ries will bring Classmates, teachers, and parties. How we used to laugh and sing! For these days we can never be sorry. Shed we a tear for days long gone by When hearts were light as a feather When we lived our lives at Paradise High And worried seldom or never. And now to the friends from whom we part, Loyal, true, and clever, The time has come for us to depart, But we'll remember you ever. Twenty So much can happen in a period of ten years. Wars begin and cease. Heroes are made. Others replace them. Classes graduate, the gradu- ates sometimes never seeing each other again. Not so for this class of 1943. Here we are all waiting to enter the dining room of Dorothy Ro rer. Since the night of our graduation, Dot has been climbing higher and higher up the ladder of success. One look at the mansion she calls home verifies this. Kenny Beane likewise has had good fortune with him. Our class Romeo is now a star in Hollywood. Maybe Sinatra made the women swoon, but Beanie-woo-woo! Over in the corner is that vivacious twosome which it seems will never be separated. They even live side by side in two little white houses, trimmed in green, in the suburbs of Strasburg. That's right. It's Pauline and Ruth but not Mowrer and Dull any longer. The other Pauline in our class has become a farmer's wife. What a family she has, Jeepers. Coming in we noticed an autogiro, and just now we've found out that it belongs to Big Willis Herr. Big Willis now manages the store that his father owns. Most startling of the changes is that of Hood Hershey. Don com- pletely revolutionized chemistry at the mere age of 27 by the discovery of the atomesse, the female atom. As we are getting ready to sit down, all of us are shocked to see who is going to ask the blessin . It is Earl Usner, with the prefix Rev. What a change from that fidgety little giggler we used to know. By the way, his fear of never being an uncle has proved useless. Sitting next to Rev. Usner is a dignified lady whom I just now recognize. She is Herb Sheaffer. They say she is now singing with the Metropolitan Opera Company. That contralto voice really took her far. Who is that Army Oflicer? Well, believe it or not, that's Bill Frew. He's a little taller now, and the string of girls that tags after him is getting longer every day. He has been separated from his old partner, Roland Danner, for the first time since 1944. Roll meanwhile has re- placed Mr. Yunninger as the owner of the largest chicken factory in Gordonville. Carl Hohman now is a pilot employed by T. W. A. I'll bet you couldn't guess who is the hostess on his plane! It's a condensed Esther Rynier. During the conversation, we learned that Gloria Feister, after havin won the crown of Miss America of 1954, is planning a Hollywood career. We learned, too, that Skee Ressler is now selling Wembleys in the basement of Sears and Roebuck. Many have taken that fatal plurlrge into matrimony, boys especially. Take Mick Benner, for instance. e plays his saxophone at night and then takes his pay check home to Arlene and the ki s. Jack Acker is busy delivering coal all day. When he goes home, he must take Jackie Jr. and little Loie a pickaback ride. Now it's little Loie who says Faster, Daddy, faster. ' From our class came that speedking of the typewriter, Mary Graybill. Just last week she typed four letters while working at the Paradise Seed Company. Speaking of keys, I forgot to mention another member of Cappy Benner's Band, gianist Jean Kellenberger. Maybe Mary can tickle typewriter keys, ut you ought to hear Jean tickle the ivones. The remaining members of the class are now teaching in various schools. Dorothy Clark came back to Paradise and is now faculty advisor of The Pioneer. Incidentally The Pioneer took first lace at the press conference the first year Dorothy took the reins. Betty Shirk is now teaching at the Pennsylvania State College. Profes- sor Shirk can keep her students under control at all times, so she says. Shortly after graduation Bob Denlinger went to Johnsonburg. The little letter correspondence started in English IV really developed into something. He is now teaching in Johnsonburg. Dinner is over and all of us have returned to our private lives to remain there till 1964 when we shall meet again. Twenty-one 'lam We, the Class of 1944 of the Paradise Township High School, being of sound mind and memory, do make, publish, and declare this our last will and testament, hereby revoking and annulling any and all wills by us made heretofore. ' The subjoined list will be recognized as established facts which we bequeath to the rightful heirs. Item I-The seniors give their class reputation to the freshmen. Item II-To the sophomores, the seniors bequeath their good looks and neat appearance. Item III-The seniors give to the juniors their initiative which they Item IV Item will need when they are seniors. -To the janitor we leave all the chewing gum under all the chairs, desks, tables, etc. V-To the faculty, we will just leave Cthat will be plentyb. The following may be trifling bequests, but we hope that they may be accepted, not as worthless things, but as valuable assets to those who may receive them. Personal Items: 1 Jack Acker's six feet five inches to Ezra Stoltzfus. 2 Kenny Beane's senior prexy position to Ralph Homsher. 3 Mick Benner's sax playing ability to Harold Mowrer. 4 Dot Clark's position on the honor roll to James Simpson. 5 'tRoll Danner's ears to Marvin Althouse. 6 Bob Denlinger's Learn to Dance book to Joe Davis. 7 Ruth Dull's librarian position to Jane Mowrer. 8 Gloria Feister's flirting ability to Muriel Bryer. 9 Bill Frew's brains to Richard Dosch. 10 Mary Graybill's quiet manner to Betty Feister. 11 Pauline Herr's French book to Helen Coble. 12 Bill Herr's good sense of humor to Norm Groff. 13 Don Hershey's chemistry notebook to Andy Skiles. 14 Carl Hohman's looks to Monk GroH. 15 Jean Kellenberger's figure to Romaine Wasson. 16 Pauline Mowrer's kind disposition to Mary Jane Shreiner. 17 Skee Ressler's Chevy to Nancy Young for cowboying. 18 Dot Rohrer's bashfulness to Pills Bryson. 19 Esther Rynier's guarding position in girls' basketball to Virginia Louden. 20 Lois SheafTer's voice to Bill Danner. 21 Betty Shirk's attentiveness in class to Christian Brackbill. 22 Earl Usner's giggling spells to Forrest Smoker.

RISSE eff!! of 1945 The most outstanding feature of our freshman year was the initiation bestowed upon us by our superiors. Appear- ing in aprons and odd stockings was quite embarassing for the girls and also for the boys wearing rolled up trousers to reveal flashy unmatched socks. A successful assembly program including a play was given in our sophomore year for the entertainment of the rest of the school. A blizzard provided enough snow for a sleighing party, which was a new event. A Hallowe'en party in the form of a barn dance was also held. As juniors we had many outstanding events including a three-act comedy which proved that not all actors came from Hollywood. Class rings came and another successful assembly program was given. By sponsoring a Leap Year Dance, the treasury increased the funds for the Junior and Senior Banquet which was given in honor of the seniors. The Class of 1945 sincerely wishes the seniors all possible success and happiness for the years to come.

ERNST Twenty-ezght glass of 1946 Bright and early on the morning of October nineteenth, forty-two pupils entered Room F, proud of the fact of having graduated from the eighth grade and now being freshmen. Starting the year off, a class meeting was held and the following officers were elected: president, Robert Keppleyg vice-president, Leon Martin, secretary, Mary Jane Shreinerg treasurer. Eva Denlinger. The second week of school found the freshman girls wearing large hair ribbons and aprons. The boys wore bow ties, odd socks and trousers rolled up to the knees. All this was the result of the sophomore initiation. During the month of February, we displayed our talents by presenting an assembly program. A play was given plus dancing, twirling and chaff by various members of the class. Also in February we held a sleighing party. As spring arrived, Mr. Housberg, our science teacher, took us on a hike, pointing out various kinds of plant life and the different kinds of rock of J. Z. Landis' stone quarry. In May the freshmen blossomed forth by having a skating party. It was held at the Maple Grove Rink. Everyone had a splendid time. After several months of vacation, twenty-six remaining students again started school. this time as sophomores. Our first activity was a modern minstrel show. The Sophomore Class was well represented in In Old Vienna with three playing leading roles. Again this year the sophs held a sleighing party. We are now hoping for a successful social in March. As the Class of 1944 prepares to leave the high school, never again to enter as pupils, we the sophomores extend our heartiest congratulations to you. We wish you all success and prosperity and a happy life as alumni of P. H. S.

The girls outnumbered the boys by seven, so Room F looked rather large for twenty-nine pupils, but they soon made themselves at home. Soon one day orders came from the upperclassmen that the girls were to wear neckties and the boys, bow-ties. Everyone also had to wear a sign containing his nickname. Of course, the freshmen had to run errands for the upper- classmen, too. The boys finished second the first semester and third the second semester in intramural basketball, but the girls failed to crash the victory column. The Class of '47 presented their first assembly program. Corn Rapp played a piano solo and Ella Zimmerman favored us with a saxophone solo. Then wc had a few impersonations featuring Virginia Louden as Mrs. Gard with, Get out a piece of paper. Last on the program was a Freshman Pep Band. Cliff Hershey led the band straight through Yankee Doodle, but the whole band went dead about the middle of Pistol Packin' Mamma. The Freshmen plan a party in the spring, but no definite plans have been made. We, the graduating Class of 1947, wish the seniors success and happiness in the remainder of their journey through life.

Harnish. The band under the direction of Mr. Samuel Harnish has entered into many activities in the school and in the com- munity since its beginning in 1939. The marching band has participated in many parades since uniforms were obtained in 1941. The past summer the band gave two community con- certs in the churchyards of the Presbyterian and Episcopal Churches. It also played in Gordonville at a supper held there. Besides these concerts the marching band partici- pated in many parades through the summer and fall. A demonstration concert was given for the pupils in assembly in September. This was to show the students the sounds and the names of the different instruments. The band has seven new players this year. Because of some added instruments and a good variety of music, the concert. held on March 4 was very successful. Mr. Harnish has organized a Junior Band which meets once a week to give experience for beginners before they enter the Senior Band.

Director- Mr. Samuel S. Hamish. In order that our school might have a musical organiza- tion where the better music could be played and appreciated by the students, an orchestra was formed and has been growing steadily since its beginning. The orchestra under the direction of Mr. Harnish played at the Junior and Senior plays this year in order to provide entertainment between acts for the audience. The purpose of this as well as the other musical organizations is to teach cooperation and discipline as well as to afford an outlet for those students talented in music to show their appreciation of good music. Thirty-seven Highlighting the performance of the year for the Mixed Chorus was the operetta t'In Old Vienna given November 19 and 20. The plot centered around carnival time in Vienna. Jonas Pennington, with his daughter, June, arrived in Vienna amidst preparations for the carnival. To his consternation he found Jones, his advertising expert, advertising Pennington's Peter Piper Pickles too well. An old acquaintance, Lady Vivian, also arrived on her annual quest in search of her long lost daughter, who was lost near Vienna at carnival time when a baby. Kinski, the pompous police chief, plotted to substitute the lost child of Lady Vivian and marry her for her fortune. A band of gypsies led by J igo, the Chieftain, and his supposed daughter, Ilona, visited the carnival. Events led all to the gypsy camp where a magic pool revealed the face of Lady Vivian's daughter. Arthur Crefont, a poor artist, won recognition of his art and also the hand of June Pennington. Lady Vivian consented to become Mrs. Pennington, Kinski's plot was exposed, Ilona was restored to her mother, and J ones was rewarded with success in his campaign for the hand of Ilona. Much credit for the success of the musical was due to the superb piano playing of Nancy Young, the dramatic instruction of Mrs. Gard, the hard work of Miss Risse as dance instructor, and the diligence of Mr. Harnish, who was the director of the entire production. Immediately after presenting the operetta, Mr. Harnish and the chorus began work on the Christmas Cantata, Tidings of Joy,'l which was preceded by a candlelight service in which the girls of the school sang Hark the Herald Angels Sing. This was given on December 20. At present the chorus is looking forward to the time when it will sing at the commencement and baccalaureate exercises. Thirty-eight X H+ V?

Gard Chead librarianj, Sally Frew, Marian Witmer, Jane Mowrer, Eva Den- linger, Arlene Walker, Esther Mowrer, Nancy Young, and Muriel Bryer. Each year Mrs. Gard, head librarian, chooses assistant librarians from the high school students. There are two assistants assigned to each library period. Their duties are to check books which are taken out and brought back and to see that they are placed on the proper shelves. They also paste and sew old books to keep them in reading condition. An account of all the books in the library is taken at the beginning of each term. At present there are about sixteen hundred volumes. About one hundred are bought each year. Some are replacements, and others are the latest fiction and non-fiction books. Throughout the school term about fifty books are borrowed from the Lancaster Book- mobile for a period of six weeks. This year twenty-nine volumes of the American Encyclopedia have been added also.

The Pioneer, organized in 1934, has continued gradually up the ladder of success. For the past two years it has received a third place rating in the Columbia Scholastic Press Association, and the Pennsyl- vania Scholastic Press Association of which it is a member. As the Tanawan'l goes to press, the staff has not yet been informed of its rating this year. At graduation time gold keys are given to senior editors a token of the schoolls appreciation for their work. Other senior staff members receive silver keys. Much can he learned by working on the staff. This includes not only learning how to write well but also how to successfully manage any business.

Since fire is one of the most dangerous hazards which can occur in a school building, the Fire Patrol was organized in the fall of 1939 by Mr. H. G. Blankenmyer who is serving on the Lancaster City Fire Department. At the present Mr. Blankenmyer is Fire Chief at Camp Indiantown Gap. Ever since this organization has started, Mr. Eshelman has been its most faithful advisor. The Fire Patrol makes it safer for children leaving the building in case of fire. The main officers of this patrol are appointed. Each homeroom elects two captains, one boy and one girl. During a fire drill one captain leads the group to the out- side, while the other captain follows the group closing all doors and Windows. The Fire Patrol is very faithful in conducting fire drills each month.

I C O Our school is situated along one of the most dangerous highways in the county, death highway. Thus, there are many accidents occurring every year. As a protecting hand for our children walking to and from school, the School Safety Patrol was organized about 1935 under the leadership of Mr. Ellis Keene. At the present time Mr. Edison Blevins is its faithful advisor. Membership is entirely voluntary although a faithful and alert person is required. The patrolmen are stationed at intervals along the highway, so as to protect children coming and going from school. The patrol has been doing a splendid work of parking cars on special occasions, such as operettas, plays, and basketball games. We all hope that the patrol will keep up its good work in the future because the highway will probably become most dangerous after the war. Forty-five mf!

Joy arrived accompanied by her colored maid, Scarlet, and while waiting in the supposedly deserted house, they were confronted by a series of mysteries and hair-raising events. Aunt Susie arrived to calm their fears and tell them she had also inherited the sausage factory next door and expected to run it alone. However, Cora King's lawyer descended on her and related that Aunt Susie would inherit the property only if she married Cora's cousin, Omar Graves, within thirty days. Aunt Susie revolted and to complicate matters, Johnny Rodgers, to whom Joy was secretly engaged, turned up in a disguise. Aunt Susie took the hapless Johnny for Mr. Graves. Later Omar Graves arrived with his colored servant, LaSalle. Lights flashed off and on, weird noises were heard, and characters disappeared into nowhere. Aunt Susie decided to investigate and went into the factory with her gun. The climax was reached when the eccentric spinster shoots the works, thereby sending the audience into spasms of laughter.

The plot of the play centered around Hamilton Conley who, having gone to Hollywood to be a movie star, became discouraged after his failures and returned to his home. Soon after his return three pigs and a colored maid were sent by Aunt Deborah, a rich aunt, when all the time they were expecting a large sum of money from her. When a practical joker, Ambrose Wakely, got together with Opie the colored maid, the result was hilarious. Although Ambrose had thought he had played a trick on the Conleys by sending the pigs and the colored maid to them as a joke, the tables turned quite suddenly when Aunt Deborah appeared on the scene. Finally everything was straightened out, and the Conleys got the money from Aunt Deborah that they had expected in the first place. Hamilton was doubly rewarded when he persuaded Winnie, a girl from his home town, to be his wife. Direclress-Miss Anne L. Risse Forty-seven 'E DA.

Basketball, Paradise's only major sport, was again re- vived at Paradise after a year's layoff caused by the war conditions. Mr. Housberg, coach for 1942-1943, was succeeded by Mr. W. F. Hemphill, a former graduate at Paradise. No definite captain was picked during the season. This gave all the members of the team a chance to serve as acting captain. Kenneth Beane was finally elected captain at the close of the season for the 1943-1944 team. Since no leagues were formed this year, there will be no post-season playoffs between the three top teams of County Sections 1, 2, 3, as there were in the past years. The whole team had quite a successful season although they dropped several games by only a few points.
