Text from Pages 1 - 68 of the 1954 volume:

4 High School Building The i954 LeLivre is an effort to graphically record the best years of our life. The informality and enthusiasm of these days, we have endeavored to re- produce on these pages, that they may live again and always be young. Photographs: Kepler Studio, Lewistown, Pa. Printing: Straight line Printing Company, Huntingdon, Pa. l'E LIVRE Published annually by the Senior Class of Bretton-McVeytown-Oliver High School McVeylown, Pennsylvania K As we walk out of this school for the last time we will all turn and look at the closed doors. Old memories will rush through our minds, but there is one memory, a picture standing all by itself. This is Mr. Fleck whose patience we tried for three years as our home room teacher then the fourth as our principal. No matter what the situation was he always had an answer that helped. He was always gentle and understanding with our problems. Yes, no matter when we the class of '54 look back at our school days, that figure we will see and we will have that same respect and deep admiration that we had for him in our four years of high school.

Deep in the heart of this busy little world the administration works tire- lessly and faithfully day in and day out. To the wondering eye, it seems only to assure an insigniticent role,-but to the sharper eye, it can be seen that if the students are the substance of school, the administration is its guiding hand. Its outstretched arms controls student activities, executes the Faculty ideas, and renders the students assistance. 5 Veacheu ROBERT H. FLECK, A. B., M. Ed. Social Studies and Guidance HUGH T.

Bois might well have been thinking of the Seniors when he said: Make 'wisdom your provision for the iourney from youth to old age, for it is a more certain support than all other possessions. And the answering chorus might reply: Your advice has been heeded, for we realize that our future is not in the hands of fate, but in ours. ,Q DOROTHY MAE ANDERSON Commercial Ambition-To be a secretary Pet Expression- Holy Cow Pride and Joy-Drivers License Gian DONALD WALTER BELGER Pete: Academic MDM Ambition-Joining the Air Force Pet Expression-Yea Pride and Joy-Going to Blacklog Activities-Hunting and Fishing Club Ability--To get along with girls Activities-Class play 2 Ability-To get A's in school LEONARD GUY BINGAMAN Academic Ambition To be a mayor league baseball player Pei Expression-- Jumping Jupiter Pride and Joy-Ability as Baseball Player Activities-Projection l, Photograp Ability-Baseball Player DARLE RAYMOND BILGER Academic Ambition-20 years U.

A nice girl from over the river The one who lives by the bridge Is none other than Dorothy Anderson A very sweet girl she is! The two brothers in our class One with red hair and the other brown ls Darle and Donald Bilger Upon them we'll never frown. Leonard Bingerman's third on the list A fine looking boy of our class. How he likes the A 8K P-- This we needn't ask. The girl who puzzles the teachers With the questions that she asks Is June Lucinda Brubaker Who never shirks her tasks. Ronald Casner's our class president When we elected him we knew. That for years he would guide us And bravely lead us through. To Shirley, Lois and Mary It seems a big thing In their last year of high school To receive a diamond ring. Jennie is the clown of the class You never know what she'll do Because she's always cracking gum She's continually annoying you. Jean Notestine is a timid girl She never makes a sound But when in the pea-green Pontiac You know that she's around. In English, French or Chemistry And even in P. O. D. This fellow named Bob Yoder Seldom makes below a 'B'. Beulah is the only one Who is married in our class. We wish much happiness in the future To this very charming lass. Around the corner down the hall We hear giggling loud and clear Because of this we readily know That Nannie and Shirley are near. This is our she-hot-rod She has a temper too, But if you're Shirley Dunmire's friend Her temper's not for you. Martha, who is better known as Miss Is very well liked you see Since devoting much time to the piano A great player she should someday be The Editor of our Broadcaster Is Marlin, a very tall lad Whether he becomes an editor or salesman We feel sure he'Il never be sad. Don Knepp is the hot-rod Who likes to run around But when he's in study hall He can truly be a clown. We have a boy named Fisher Whose willing to give his aid lf you ever need a friend Of him you needn't be afraid. 'Though Stanley's not as tall As most of the boys in class This doesn't mean he has no brains Because he still works fast. The girl with the trumpet? Oh! That's Nancy, you see To the door of success She holds the key. You hear a rattle down the road It's a vehicle nothing can lick ln case you see this car approach lt's the one driven by Dick. elau Poem cewof-mit Don Knouse, a member of the class At making posters is a whiz With skill he measures, paints and trims In his field he's the best there is. Another lad comes into view His name is William White As Randolph in our Sophomore play He was an interesting sight! Almost any hour of the night Or anytime during the day You'll find Bill Crosson in Ferguson Valley Because that is where he stays. Bill Dunmire is a friendly lad Who likes to help at home With the sawmill business going well We know he'll never roam. Rich .is the athlete of the group He's rather tall and thin When he shoots the basketball lt almost always goes in. Larry Mertz who's next in line A play writer wants to be We hope he'lI be a big success But we'll have to wait and see. Anna Mary's rather short But at laughing she's an Ace When you enter our classroom You first see her smiling face. Glwu One who keeps our spirits up And seems to never tire ls Shirlee Yoder, who likes to act Now this gal we all admire. A distinguished looking person Who likes to play her flute Is Miriamg who we call 'Mim' And we think she's rather cute. From Mattawana we have these three: Donna, Nina and Jean . After crossing the railroad tracks These three are usually seen. Richard Harshbarger's rather quiet 'Though he likes to have his fun But when it comes to school work It seems it's never done. Eugene Miller is surprising His nickname's 'Pumpkin ball' When it comes to hunting He's the best one of us all. If you haven't liked our bit of verse Or thought our gems were pearly Cast credit, blame or praise upon Sunderland Martha and Campbell Shirley With school days now behind us We with a courage bold Turn to face tomorrow The future to unfold. dl We the members of the class of Nineteen Hundred and Fifty Four being of sound and disposing mind and memory, do make, publish, and declare the following as and for our last will and testament, hereby revoking all former wills, devices, and bequests by us at any time made.

Signed CLASS OF '54 01444 We the class of 1954 entered high school September 5, 1950. Due to an enrollment of fifty-nine students we were separated into two sections, both re- porting to Mr. Fleck in room 112. Our class officers were: president, Nancy Espigh, vice president, Lois Stewart, secretary William Dunmire and treasurer, Shirley Campbell. . March 16 proved our ability to have a successful dance. Another social event of the year was a Roller Skating Party which was held at Novak's Skating Rink in Lewistown. Our Sophomore year, 1951-52 found us again in room 112 with Mr. Fleck as our home room teacher. This year our main interest was centered around the thought of our giving a play. We decided to use a double cast on A Date With Judy which was presented March 7 and 8 of 1952. For this term we elected the following officers: president, Ronald Casner, vice president, Stanley Rutherford, secretary, Shirlee Yoder, treasurer, Miriam Dunmire. 132' This year our social events consisteibf a dance to which the entire high school was invited and a roller skating party at Novak's Roller Rink for the mem- bers of our class. September 2, 1952, 45 of us returned to room 112 and Mr. Fleck. This year our officers were: president, Ronald Casner, vice president, William White, secretary, Shirley Casner, treasurer, Marlin Fields. Our class play Comin' Round the Mountain was presented October 17 and 18. The social events were again a dance and a roller skating party which was held this time at the Ballerina. The spring of '53 found us quite busy and excited over the Prom which became a reality May 8. September 1, 1953 when we returned to school for our final year the class enrollment had dropped from fifty-nine in our Freshman year to thirty-nine. Since Mr. Fleck now was high school principal and our dear old room 112 was needed for a bigger class, we Seniors were ushered into room 105 and the capable hands of Mr. Keim. This year our officers were almost the same as the year before: President, Ronald Casner, vice president, Stanley Rutherford, secretary, Shirley Casner, treasurer, Marlin Fields. Our class play Come Out of Your Coma was presented November 20 and 21. The first social event of the year was the Senior Dance October 2. Our other events was skating at the Ballerina and swimming at the Y. M. C. A. May 6, 7, 8-'54 was our New York trip.

Here too, one finds the first stirring of a sense of dignity and humility which Wordsworth describes in these lines: True dignity abides with him alone Who, in the silent hour of inward thought, Can still suspect and still revere himself. In lowliness of heart. Elan af '56 SOPHOMORES Some unknown student writes in a short epigram on the president of Balliol College, Oxford, has summed up the whole case for and against the sopho- mores. Harsh as it may be and exaggerated, and yet how true! My name is Beniamin Jowett I'm master of Balliol College Whatever is knowledge I know IT And what I don't know isn't knowledge How fortunate for the wise fools that this does not tell all there it to tell. Glafu of '57 ' 1vl.L . - i A 4 V. Q -L L .ami FRESHMAN Sure and it is Ireland ye must come from, what with your ways so green. But it is welcome you are, innocent though you be. Perhaps time and study will change your verdancy to a clear light of understanding. Yet Shakespeare shows you the way: ' What is the end of stucly? Let me know Why, that to know, which else we should not else know. Things hid and Borr'd you mean, from common sense? Elma of '58 ACTIVITIES The activities of high school are the avocations of the world. Just as in the world each man has, not only his chief occupation but also his hobbies and pleasures, and here in the school every student has, not only his main task of obtaining an education, but also has his outside interests. The interest may give vent to itself in dramatics, activities, publications, forensic exercises or music. Bam! BAND This year our band, under the direction of Mr. H.

It is a biography of our school--how we work, how we play. The Le Livre staff was chosen during the Junior year and began its task immediately-organizing the task, setting up a schedule, planning the dummy, scheduling pictures, rewording write-ups, writing and answering letters, collect- ing snapshots, and in general, trying to turn chaos in to order. But our efforts were not in vain, for from a box of snapshots, a drawer of write-ups and an envelope of photographs there emerged this book, the 1954 Le Livre, which we may place among our souveniers to look back on, reread, and remember. Members of the staff: Editor, William White, Assistant Editor, Shirley Campbell, Business Manager, Shirley Yoder, Art Editor, Donald Knouse, Sports Editor, Richard Singleton, Activity Editor, Shirley Dunmire, Feature Editor, Shirley Sunderland, Circulation Manager, Richard Stimely, Advertising Manager, Ronald Casner, Treasurer, Miriam Dunmire, Photography Editor, Shirley Dunmire, Advisor, Mil.
