Mr. Frantz, in his stay with us of three and a half years, de- voted his time and talents in helping our school to grow. Mr. Frantz, a graduate of Muhlenberg College, did post graduate' work at Columbia University and Gettys- burg Seminary and at present is a licensed psychologist in the State of Pennsylvania, and an ordained minister in the Lutheran Church. He also served four years in the United States Navy as a chaplain. XVhile on our faculty, Mr. Frantz taught world his- tory and English and served as our first official guidance counselor. In reorganizing student government, he be- came adviser of the Student Council. During his second year NIr.'Frantz helped develop a lively Hi-Y program and later became an honorary member of that club. As a guidance counselor, Mr. Frantz helped a countless number of students. Combining with his fine education and background, Mr. Frantz's outstanding personality made him the friend of many. In recognition of his fine qualities as a teacher, counselor, and friend we, the class of 1957, take pride in dedicating this book to Mark H. Frantz. Preparatory to a consultation, Mr Frantz procures a students personal file
