COLEMAN For her countless contributions to the cause of we, the class of 1961, dedicate this yearbook to the memory of iss Catherine R. Coleman. As our Problems of Democracy teacher and senior advisor, she willingly sacrificed much valuable time to help and counsel us. Miss Coleman has been truly inspiring, creating in us an honest desire for learning. Furthermore, she has helped us bring to the fore better qualities and higher aspirations. For these reasons, the memory of Miss Coleman will remain with us for years to come . . . il -X ll Rx- , .,.. ,f x 'A , 'I Lp: he ' ' -, . my I s e e see , r mf fm r QTMQ W XX I E I I A : V I lx ' X fly!

I I sl fi The purpose of Education is world a better place in which to 5' live and in which to make a living. This is one of the theses of Dr. Thomas Briggs, Professor of School Administration and Supervision, Columbia University. In other words to have the individual get the right meaning of Life is the ultimate I goal of Education. To have the propeia prospective of Life, and what it means, you ' l will be called upon to make choices wisely and to exercise your opinions cautious- l ly. Up to this point, to your Commencement, your progra as en largely 51 I planned by your parents, your church, your school and your communi . Now 3 il, 3 you stand at the threshold of your own adulthood andthe broad roadxof life i if 1 stretches out before you. What you do from here on ,will be far more your 'choice i than it has been heretofore. We trust that the various institutions with which you f Ia I A l have had contacts have given you the mental. and moral courage and equipment to choose as worthy members of our Democracy. 5 I 1 Today, there are many who look with fear and uneasiness into the future - '- I I f 5 fear that--fthe world is headed for disaster, Communism - - uneasy because they X l think the opportunities for youth have passed - Defeatism. Of these two' phil- l X I l I I I l l osophies of life, I think, Defeatisrnxis threjmore dangerous to our youth. You are l y ' ,igaduating from high school at one of the m,ost'chaTfeiT5EfZieriods in our history. ,I l 5 I . A o you comes the great opportunity to live upright and worthwhile lives, the op- f portunity to help build a new structure of peace and cooperation among nations, , l J l X the opportunity to help form better relationships between different groups in our X L i I country and the opportunity of developing and 'harnessing the new scientific dis- s coveries for the well-being of man. Your choices will make a difference. This will 1 depend upon how well you have learned the lessons of industry, honesty, courtesy, cooperation, courage and integrity and how well you can use them, time alone will tell. Your opinions and influence will count. Keep up the good fight, keep true to the faith and your years to come will be kind and fruitful and useful and happy ones Your successes are our successes 1 and your failures are our failures.

Again, I congratulate you and give you my best wishes and wish you God's richest blessings as you leave these halls. ARTHUR W. ESHELMAN ' 8 Principal.

We elected Tom Speakman as President, and Richard Rohrer as Vice-President. Our Secretary was Beckie Walker, and our Treasurer, Chris Conybeare. Red and white carnations were selected for our class flowers, blue and white our class colors. We chose Give your best to the world, and it will give its best to you as the class motto. We sponsored a successful dance, The Little Pigeon Rock , after a basketball game. In the third annual Ninth Grade Night, which was the highlight of the year, we used Local History as our theme. As sophomores we elected the following officers: President - Betty jane Fisher, Vice-President - Richard Rohrer, Secretary - Beckie Walker, and Treas- urer - Lamar Denlinger. We immediately got busy deciding on our class jackets. We had them made in the school colors, red and white, but with black trim and Old English lettering. We sponsored a dance, The Sophomore Shuffle , after a basketball game, and held a skating party in April. At the end of the year we had a swimming party at Red Point. By the time we were juniors, we were really in the swing of things. First we elected the class officers. They were: President - john Houder, VicefPresi- dent - Tom Speakman, Secretary - Beckie Walker, and Treasurer - Harold Groff. Then we set our dues for the year, and chose a new style for our class rings with blue spinel stones. We held two dances, one after a basketball game, and one in the spring. We also held a bake and a swimming party in the early spring. Then came the most exciting project - the junior-Senior Prom. We were the first class to hold it away from school. juniors and Seniors danced in a Hawaiian atmosphere at the Overlook Country Club. And suddenly, it was here - our Senior year, at last! We elected as Presi- dent -- john Houder, Vice-President - Richard Rohrer, Secretary - Beckie Walker, and Treasurer - Harold Groff. We immediately got busy planning ways to increase our treasury. We sponsored three dances - one after a basketball game and two in the spring. On November 11, New York City was host to us, and the sights we saw there were most interesting and certainly unforgettable. On February 1, we introduced another first to Pequea Valley - a donkey basketball game. A Bake and Soup Sale was another one of our moneyfmaking projects. Late in May we visited Washington, D. C. Finally, on June 9, 1961, our dreams were fulfilled as we graduated, all going our separate Ways to give our best to the world. Beckie Walker, Secretary. 20 Hf 'I' I JOHN H. HOUDER, JR.

The Braves,' copped the county title after defeating Garden Spot in two straight games. The second game, a playoff to decide the Lancaster County Champion, proved tofbe a thriller. Garden Spot drew first blood by tallying a goal in the first period. Two more periods passed as the Pequea boosters pounded the Spartans defense. Then with less than two minutes left in the last period 'Lew Hershey pushed through the tying goal. In the two overtime periods the Braves gained the advantage on a goal by Larry Girvin after two minutes of the first period. In the remaining minutes our strong defense paid off. Pequea Valley had won its third consecutive Lancaster County Championship. The Pequea record was not to end here. The Braves went into the District 3 playoffs and after defeating Eastern York 3-O, Oley Valley Z-1, and james Buchanan Z-1 in double overtime, the Valley tribe then journeyed to Oxford for the final game against West Chester. It was a well contested battle and the teams were well matched, so well matched that the teams fought for the game but the score was still tied after four overtime periods. They were then declared Co- Champions. .

The '61 basketball season proved to be a let- down after the great soccer season. The team, which consisted entirely of seniors, had Tom Speakman as the only returning starter. The cagers started the season well by winning three of their first four games, but were unable to get into the winning column for the rest of the year. Although the won-lost record was a poor show- ing for the year, the team did provide us with many thrilling moments.
