e r.' % THE TORCH published annuallu SENIOR CLASS Sunbury High School VOLUME XXXV _______Meu 195 We, the seniors, present our Torch in the hope that the material found within may reveal to you, the reader, the well-rounded education that we have received during our three years in Sunbury High School. Our success in life in years to come will be the result of this training. DEDICATION It is with pride, but yet with a sense of humbleness that we, the Class of 1954, dedicate our Torch. Our yearbook is dedicated to a teacher whose record of service to our school as a teacher of English and Latin has been particularly outstanding. It has spoken for itself in the respect she has gained from her students. The personal interest she has shown in students as individuals has made us feel that we are truly a living part of Sunbury High. Her grace, wit, and wide experience have made her classes interest- ing; her endless patience has been a guiding hand on our unsteady shoulders. She has often made clear to us that which we could not see alone. Like us, she will be leaving Sunbury High School this year; but she and her conscientious work will not be forgotten. Her record will continue on as a bright example for others to follow. With great pleasure and deep gratitude we dedicate our Torch to MRS. GRACE R. MILLER 5 Left to Right-G. Pollock, President; J. Jones; D. Treon, Secretary; H. Beck; W. Abrams; W. Pope; P. Rossitcr, Clerk; W. Bet .; C. Knoebel; E. Kistler; J. ShifTer, Vice-President. Board of Education The Sunbury Area Joint School District Board is a group of local citizens elected in the general election for terms of four or six years. A merging of Sunbury, Snydertown, Upper Augusta Town- ship, and Rockefeller Township has added three members to the former board of seven. This move was made to promote better schools. Meetings are held regularly on the second Tuesday of each month, at which time decisions are made reoardino o ÂŁ the administration of the school district. These men are to be commended for their fine efforts to serve their communities and schools.1 10 A bulletin to the teachers. J. FRED JONES, M.Ed. ROMAYNE KILLIAN Pennsylvania State U niversity Secretary Superintendent of Schools A Message From Our Superintendent The philosophers of old drove home the point that the mental processes of a free mind and those of the herd were as far apart as the two poles. The man with a conscience dares to stand alone in what he thinks is right. The free man deals with his life in a wholly different fashion than does the man whose mind has not been set free. Wherever this concept of the free man has held sway, human life has found dignity and freedom. It exercises an inner control over mankind. Force and coercion throughout the ages have eventually proven futile. Mutual respect, cooperation, and a common understanding have taken their places in order to form a basic foundation for the democratic way of life. We have recently witnessed a horrible situation in which twenty-two of our American soldiers in the Korean theatre of war refused to return to their home land because of the indoctrination of communism. A newspaper reporter from one of our western states became interested and wanted to know the reason why one of them did not wish to return. What he found was shocking. The soldier did not have a decent life to return to in this country. His home life had always been wretched and insecure. Before he left he tried to hold the fragments of his family life together without any measure of success. Being of a sensitive and rather weak nature, he embraced communism. The verv life that you are preparing for is most important to the stability of your country. It is my wish that you procure for yourself the best educational foun- dation possible. One that can be tested and never found insecure. J. Fred Jones Superintendent 11 LOIS BURGESS Secretary Type up todayâs schedule. FREDERICK PADGETT, A.B., M.A. Heidelberg College Bucknell University Principal President Dwight D. Eisenhower has said, âThe youth of our Nation . . . who O ' J are the future of our Nation ... are the hope and test of freedom itself.â In building a house or a bridge the builder would not attempt to proceed without a plan. A general would not send his men into battle in a haphazard manner. The same is true for each of us. A plan of life is necessary, is a vital part of our early life and educational experiences. Without such, our lives will be a failure. Having developed a plan of living early in life will assure each person of a definite place in our competitive world. It will make certain that your influence, in whatever way you may care to direct it, will be felt in your Community, your State, and your Nation. You can be the leaders in our democratic social organization who have determined to stamp out every trace of communistic tendencies by means of the influence of education. Let us so plan our lives that we may justify the words and belief of our President. Frederick Padgett Principal 12 P. KEPNER JARRETT B.S., A.M.

During all our âtrials and tribulationsâ Mr. Wirt, our faithful adviser, stood by us in everything we undertook and inspired us on to reach our ultimate goal. We had many Senior boys in every sport, and they did their best to bring credit and glory to our school. Our class play, Silas Marner, under the direction of Mrs. Sara Louise Markle, was a great success. Finally we neared the end of our Senior yearâa gala prom, Senior Party, Class Picnic, and, at long last, Commencement. Ob! what a memorable occasionâwe walked up to get our diplomas with wobbly knees and trembling hands but infinite pride. We, the class of â54â, have come to the end of our high school days with only fond memories of our past three years of education. In Appreciation We, the Senior Class, would like to thank Mr. Wirt, our adviser, for standing by us through our three years in Sun- burv High School. His advice to us concerning both class and individual problems was greatly appreciated by all. Thank you, Mr. Wirt, for your unfailing advice and guidance. BEN H.

It is hard to believe, but these freckle-faced children are now graduating from high school. I welve years can make a great difference in oneâs appearance. After six trying years in elementary school the Class of 1954 entered junior high school, full of enthusiasm and anticipation. Those adolescent years probably were the most difficult. Now after finishing three exciting years in high school, they have become matured adults prepared to face the future. 6th WARD BUILDING DRUMHELLER BUILDING M ACL AY BUILDING HILL SCHOOL BUILDING 39 ROHRBACH BUILDING Junior Class This year, as the Class of â55â, we were determined to make the most of our Junior year, and we have done just that. We worked diligently to earn money for a memorable prom. The proceeds of sales at the games, the successful âsiegeâ of the city by Christmas card salesmen, and our dance in October brought many financial gains for us ambitious Juniors. Our Junior year will always be remembered with pleasure, for it was a year of hard work with good results. The greatest event was our history-making promâsuch dreamy music, exquisite decorations, and luscious food. We are now on our way to being addressed as âDistinguished Seniors,â the last lap of our enjoyable and profitable journey through 41 JOHN M. KAISER Class Adviser Name your presidents in order.

They were new and âgreen,â hut they tried to appear as important as they felt. Since then, they have become familiar with the buildings and teachers. Their first taste of high school fun came on October 8 when the upper classmen put them through their paces on Sophomore Day. They will long remember the outlandish garb and the routines associated with that C t day: the Court of Penalties, the many shoes to be shined and books to be carried, the catching of the greased pig by one of their number, the bean counting and onion peeling, and the final acceptance as high school members. At their first class election, they chose as leaders: John Ilauk, Presi- dent; Russell Wilhour, Vice-President; Pam Fox, Secretary; and Terry Case, Treasurer. Mr. Drick, who is also new to Sunbury High School, volun- teered to advise â56â for the three high school years. The class was very proud of its members who played Varsity football and basketball during the first year, as well as those who were on the Junior Varsity squad, in the band, and cheerleaders. The Class of â56â will attempt to maintain a high scholastic level and uphold the traditions of Sun- bury High School. 44 ROBERT W. DRICK Class Adviser Tomorrow will be project clay. Dissection???

Ability to shoot determines rank based on a system of points. Pro- marksman is the lowest rank; marksman, middle rank; and sharpshooter is the highest rank. Shooting positions are prone, sitting, kneeling and stand- ing. The annual meetings are held on Tuesday evenings, under the supervision of Mr. John Auten. Kneeling, Left to RightâR. Hare, M.

About twenty-five years ago the BOYSâ RIFLE CLUB was formed under the supervision of Mr. John Shaffer as a recreation for adults. But, gradually, with keen interest the younger genera- tion adopted and developed it to the pres- ent state. Under Mr. John Auten, the present supervisor, a program is presented in which the boys are taught the safe use and maintenance of a rifle, the use of a sling, and the various stances in shooting. A sudden death tournament is held at the end of each year in which all mem- bers are eligible to participate. The win- ner is given a special award, besides those aiven to each member at the end of the year, which recognizes him as the cham- pion marksman. 58 Tri-HYY OFFICERS President ..... Audrey Clark Vice-President .... Sally Messner Secretary.............................Linda Bright Treasurer .... Sandra Fenstermaciier Purpose: To create, maintain, and extend throughout the home, school, and community high standards of Christian character. Approximately fifty high school girls have become affiliated this year with the TRI-HTY Club, an organization whose purpose is to stimulate Christian fellowship with the high school and the Y. M. C. A. We are deeply indebted to Miss Pearl Kawel who faithfully served as adviser of the group for twenty-four years, and we would like to welcome as our new adviser, Miss Aria Herman, a former Tri-Hi-Y member. The club has a varied program of activities, among which are partici- pation in a P. T. A. meeting, sponsoring dances, hayrides, Christmas carol- ing, and other community projects.

OFFICERS President..............................Barrie Wirth Vice-President - - - Ronald Schnee Secretary-Treasurer - James Orner Chaplain.......................................James Stover The Sunbury HI-Y CLUB, one of many Hi-Y clubs in the state, is part of a world-wide organization. Since it was discontinued some years ago, several attempts have been made to start a Hi-Y club, but not until 1952, was it again successfully organized. The club is sponsored jointly by the I Iigh School and the Y. M. C. A. To be a member of the Hi-Y a boy must maintain good standards of scholarship and character. Mr. Clement Ladd, secretary of the Y. M. C. A. and Mr. Gene Fry advise the club, which has a membership of fourteen at present. The Sunbury I li-Y club takes part in the I Ii-Y Model Legislature, which is held in Harrisburg every two years and the Older Boys Conference, which is held annually at different places. The purpose of the Lli-Y club is to maintain, throughout the school and community, high standards of Christian character. 60 Fiddle Faddle There is a shuffling of music and instru- ments as the Sunbury High School OR- CHESTRA members hurry to get their music in order, to begin another Friday morning rehearsal. The various selections played, under the direction of Charles W. Coleman, range from ' o the deep mood of âMarche Slaveâ to the gay movement of the âWaltz of the Flowers.â The experience received was valuable to all members ol the group, because it gave them an opportunity to express their musical ability and gain self-confidence in so doing. Outstanding members of the group par- ticipated in District Orchestra, and a few in State Orchestra. Front Row, Left to RightâC. Hatton, J. Lev, R. Orkin, C. Shively, S. Snyder, C. Pope, H.

Coleman Student Director â Ronald Goodyear A shrill sound still lingers in our ears, as we hear that ever-faithful whistle during march-time. Its signal, which is to go forward, has been the start of innumer- able parades and drills which the BAND has accomplished exceedingly well through- out the high school years. All together now. âLittle Chief.â Oh, those morning practices. 62 Excellent musical ability and fast stepping, displayed so often during game time, have been highly praised by the many who have seen their precision-timed work. A favorite drill among the members was the âBunny Hop.â At the annual winter and spring concerts, held in February and April, various selections as the âPhantom Regimentâ and the âHallelujah Chorusâ were featured. Exceptionally talented members were given an opportunity to try for district band from which members were chosen for state band. The Sunbury High School Band, under the direction of Charles W. Coleman, has learned through experience that it takes practice and good timing to keep âmarch- ing along together.â Lights out. Woody Hermanâs understudies. Glee Club First Row, Left to Right-G.

Sing It Again DirectressâMiss Katherine Reed Music makes the world go âround. âNight and Dayâ may well be the theme of the Sunbury High School GLEE CLL1B. This fine organization, which meets and rehearses every Friday, is under the direction of Miss Katherine Reed. The mixed chorus consists of one hundred and twelve sopranos, altos, tenors, and basses. The Glee Club re- hearses many hours to perfect such out- standing favorites as âWhere in the World but in America â âOne Alone,â âOld Man River,â and âMy God and I.â Their chief aim is to present to the audience musical selections for both un- derstanding and enjoyment. The Glee Club not only enjoys singing but also brings much credit to the school. 64 Choristers Thereâs music in the air. That Old Refrain Singing both a cappella and with ac- companiment, the Cl IORISTERS, an advanced singing group of Sunburv High School, sing difficult selections which include state chorus competition numbers. From this group, boys and girls are selected to represent S. H. S. at district and state chorus. This group is a very well-known sight to anyone attending a Masonic Banquet, for the Choristers are yearly invited to give a concert for them. They are also familiar to Eastern Star, P. T. A., Ser- vice Club, Baccalaureate and Graduation Services. Under the direction of Miss Katherine Reed, the Choristers meet every Wednes- day night to rehearse such numbers as: â1 Iallelujah Chorus â âOrchestra Song,â and âMy Heart is a Silent Violin.â First Row, Left to Right-B.

The curtain was drawn for the last time, and the dramatic productions of the Class of 1954 concluded with a condensation of George Eliotâs Silas Marner. The story, familiar to people of all ages, is the tale of a miser who found happiness through a golden-haired child left on the doorstep of his humble cottage. The presentation ended with the child Eppie choosing to remain with Silas instead of accepting a life of position and wealth. The play, consisting of a prologue and three acts, was presented by a cast of twenty-four. The characters were portrayed in the costume of the period against a background of the time. Poke- bonnets, cloaks, and cutaway coats highlighted the dress, which was a reproduction of rural England in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century. Silas Marner .. Eppic...........

The National Honor Society membership has been attained by Fred Bogar, John Corcoran, Chris Hatton, Geraldine Jarrett, Franklin Kury, John Musser, Harriet Stuck, and Constance Wirt. The Sunbury Chapter, 1262, was instituted here in 1932 under the supervision of Mr. George Nesline. Since then the honor has replaced the valedictorian and other honors. Selection to the society is made by faculty members who vote on the eligibility of students ranking in the upper third of their class and maintaining a standing of no less than a B average. No more than 15% of a graduating class may be elected. The purpose of the National Honor Society is to create an enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render services, to promote leadership, and to develop character in the students of American secondary schools. 69 First How, Left to Right-G.

The sum total of your efforts cannot be based upon the games you won or those which you lost. The important fact is that you have learned the meaning of self-sacrifice, the joy of win- ning and the sorrow of losing. Your loyalty, spirit, and determination have been in beep- ing with the heritage and traditions of those that have gone before you. You had a job to do; you did it well. What more can anyone ask? To you, Seniors, we say farewell and thanks. Apply yourselves as diligently and faithfully to the game of life as you did to the game of football, and your future is assured. James F.

The American ideals of democracy are exem- plified by youths who in their early lives are taught the value of competition and team work through athletics. The spirit of working and playing to- gether for a common cause does much for the individual; it prepares him to shoulder responsibili- ties which will be his in his community in later life. The United States is a nation which was found- ed on fair play, and it shall continue to be a nation of fair play as long as our youths are taught and given the opportunity of seeing democracy at work through athletics. In Sunbury, as anywhere else throughout our nation, our youth are engaged in playing football. The idea is to win but to play as gentlemen who realize that their opponents have ambitions along those lines thus making for a fair competitive struggle. In many foreign countries some boys are taught they must strive to conquer and rule the world. May we Americans always retain our spirit of fair play and respect for the other fellow. Thatâs football! Thatâs character! Thatâs America! Edward J. Zalinski 73 EDWARD J. ZALINSKI Assistant Coach 75 SUNBU RY-6 NORTH U MBERLAN D-2 AwayâSept. 11, 1953 Coming through in the last two minutes of the game, the Owls, led by co-captains, Chris Hatton and George Weirick, defeated one of the finest Northumberland teams in years.' The Pineknottcrs, leading all through the game, lost their golden opportunity of being the first Northumber- land team to beat Sunbury, when they fumbled on their 18 yard line. With two minutes remaining, Chris Hatton broke through to pay dirt, and the game again became history in favor of the Owls. S LI N BLIRY-0 WILLI AMSPORT-20 HomeâSept. 18, 1953 The Millionaires of Williamsport High, employing their platoon system to distinct advantage, scored two touchdowns in the third quarter and one in the fourth quarter to overpower the Owls 20-0. After a touch and go first half, the Owls, fighting gamely to avenge a previous setback, couldnât cope with Williamsportâs replacements in the last half. SLINBURYâ6 BERWICK-0 HomeâSept. 25, 1953 A spirited, hard-hitting bunch of Owls employed great team-play and a second quarter touchdown to leave the previously unbeaten Bulldogs on the short end of a 6-0 score. The overhead attack of the Hinds-coached crew tipped the scales in its favor. Owls completed 4 of 7 attempts for 69 yards and a touchdown in the first half. The first play of the second quarter proved to be the deciding factor when Carl Shively, senior halfback, threw a 15 yard pass to rangy end, Ronnie Fox, waiting in the end zone. The Owls second-half defensive play, led by co-captains, Hatton and Nace, was too much for the hard- fighting Bulldogs. SUNBURYâ7 POTTSVILLEâ28 AwayâOct. 2, 1953 The Crimson of Pottsville, taking advantage of three pass interceptions deep in Sunbury territory, turned back the Owls, 28-7. Sunburv drew first blood early in the first quarter when Lamar Wolfe, junior halfback, went over from the three. Chris Hatton kicked the extra point and the score was 7-0 in favor of the Owls. A few minutes later Potts- ville intercepted a pass on the Sunbury 20 and scored three plays later. Pottsville scored their other three touch- downs with good downfield blocking and a hard-running backfield. SUNBURYâ12 COAL TOWNSHIP-26 AwayâOct. 9, 1953 The Owls showed their most potent attack so far this year as they scored two touchdowns and gained 199 yards rushing and 45 yards passing. But the Purple Demons matched the Blue and White even better, tallying six pointers in each period. The Owls scored their touch- downs on a 13-yard pass from quarterback Oscar Snyder to end Ronnie Fox in the second quarter and a 56 yard run by co-captain Chris Hatton in the third period. Eddie Scholl, who ran hard throughout the game, had a 29 yard touchdown run called back early in the first period. 76 SUNBLIRYâ0 SELINSGROVEâ 14 HomeâOct. 16, 1953 An inspired Selinsgrove High School eleven hit a two- touchdown first period jack-pot and went on to make Selinsgrove sports history against the Sunbury Owls. Both teams played hard, but the Seals played just a little harder to gain their impressive victory. Twice near the end of the game, the Owls threatened to score, only to see their passes being knocked down by Seal defenders and their runs being stopped by an aggressive Selinsgrove line. SU NB U RY-6 H AZLETON-20 AwayâOct. 23, 1953 The Hazleton Mountaineers left their mark of revenge from the preceding year on the Sunbury Owls, by defeating the Owls, 20-6. Although it was a hard-fought game, the Owls didnât get a break throughout the game that might have led them to victory. About mid-way, Ed Scholl broke loose for a 58 yard run that was called back for clip- ping. A little later, Ronnie Fox, senior end, ran 35 yards for another touchdown for the Owls which was called back for an off-sides penalty. Terry Case, sophomore half- back, finally scored for the Owls on a three-yard plunge. SUNBURYâ7 MILTON-7 AwayâOct. 30, 1953 The S. H. S. gridiron squad battled to a 7-7 deadlock with the Milton Black Panthers in a thrill-packed game. The Owls, who out-gained the Panthers on the ground, scored in the first quarter when Eddie Scholl took a pitch- out from Oscar Snyder and behind good blocking ran 65 yards to score. Hattonâs placement made it 7-0. Capitaliz- ing on a pass interception, the Panthers came back to knot the score early in the second quarter. SUNBURYâ18 MT. CARMEL-13 AwayâNov. 13, 1953 Despite the fog, mud, and the Friday 13th jinx, the Owls defeated the Mt. Carmel Red Tornadoes 18-13 for a great team victory. Showing the hard blocking and tackling they employed against Berwick earlier in the season, they continually stopped Mt. Carmel drives into their territory. Hatton, Shively, and Scholl ran hard for the Owls. Hatton scored two touchdowns and broke loose for a 44-yard run early in the third period. Ed Scholl ended the Sunbury scoring, going around end from the Mt. Carmel 5. SUNBURYâ12 SHAMOKINâ13 HoweâNov. 21, 1953 With ten seniors in the starting lineup playing their last game for Sunbury High School, the Owls battled brilliantly against a favored Shamokin eleven. Failure to make an extra-point after one of their two touchdowns cost a dead-game bunch of Owls an opportunity at least to tie the Greyhounds. The Owls defensive line led by Fox, Weirick, and co-captain Nace played one of their finest games of the season. Carl Shively scored the first touch- down, going over from the three. Trailing 13-6 with four minutes remaining, the Blue and White drove 40 yards with Chris Hatton going over from the two. 77 First Row, Left to Right-R. Mitchell, O. Snyder, G. King, T. Frick, R.

The beginning of basketball practice in November brought forth a number of promising prospects. With the return of an undefeated jay-vee squad from last year, things were looking up. We practiced an offense, a defense, and the necessary situations which we knew we would meet during the league battles. The boys fought to make the team. At this writing we have ended our first half of league play. We lost two and won seven which isnât bad at all figuring we were second to a team who had five starters from last year return again this year. At the present we own a one and one second half record. We can still go on to take the championship, if our boys continue to improve and have faith in themselves. John Lapinsky, Coach Regardless of the eventual outcome of league play, I should like to con- gratulate the boys on their sincere efforts and hard work in representing Sun- bury High School. They had not only to overcome the criticisms of people outside the school system but from within it as well. But I'm sure that the boys will have learned from those and their other experiences and will profit from it in later life. I sincerely hope that they will realize that success doesnât come easilyâthat each individual has to fight for it to make it a reality. From what Iâve seen with the boys I know that they can, and will, work, study, and play hard in that much rougher and tougher game, the game of life. To our seniors Ronnie Stellfox, Tom Frick, and Maynard Clark the best wishes of all the boys and myself. Weâll surclv miss them! To juniors Oscar Snyder, Don Eckrod, Ronnie Wetzel, Bill Diehl, Glenn King, Bob Mitchell, and âBoneyâ Focht; and to sophomore âTonyâ Shelbert the best also and a hope that next year brings far more success and happiness than youâve ever enjoyed. 78 Jack Lapinsky VARSITY BASKETBALL SCORES Suttbury Opp. Sunbury Opp. Dec. 4âMt.

In recalling the sports hi-lights, one usually thinks of the team and its stars; but we must not overlook the force behind the team and its starsâthe cheerleaders. The cheerleaders are symbolic of the loyalty and support that the student body gives the athletic teams. They are the group that links the spectators with the team. A high school athletic event would not be complete without them. To them we express our appreciation for doing the great job they did. Cheerleaders in Aetion 83 Following the 1953 grid season, the Sunbury Kiwanis Club held its annual football banquet.

WAVE 91 NO, THE EGG WASN'T HARD BOILED Sophomore Day The sophomores proved themselves worthy of being senior high students on October 8, 1953. Most of them had just as good a time being initiated as the upperclassmen had planning and enforcing the traditions. HAIL SENIORS ONWARD! LOWLY SOPHS Some unwilling Sophomores did not co-operate with the regulations; a âcourt trialâ was held to punish the offenders. This not only ended the day with a lot of fun, but also gave the Sophomores a hard time getting their make-up off for O O I the following day and the game at Coal Township. TIME FOR REST RIDE 'M COWBOY Caedyland, U. S. A. S. S. Lollipop Refreshments Please 94 Jemor Semor Prom Weâll always remember the night of the Junior-Senior Prom. The decorations completely transformed our gym into a gala ballroom. The dark blue streamers covered with stars reminded us of the Milky Way on a cloudless night, while the entire picture produced the atmosphere of a fairy âCandy Land.â The dancers serenaded by Lee Vincent and his Orchestra seemed to be floating on a cloudâa cloud of beauti- fully gowned girls and handsome young men. Even now when we reminisce we remember the fun and frolic of the gay affair. 95 We, the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Fifty-four of Sunbury Area Joint Senior High School, bereft of reason, distraught of memory, and having a fallible understanding, do hereby make public our last will and testament in manner and form following: SECTION I-TEACHERS 1. To Mr. Williamson, we will one bottle of nitro-glycerinââShake well before using, Mr. Williamson. 2. To Mrs. Miller, we leave a smart and spirited last period in the afternoon; youâll appreciate this Iâm sure. 3. To Mr. Wirt, we will our Senior Classâ ability to conduct all the orderly class meetings. 4. To Mrs. Portzline, we leave one box of Kennel Dog Food. (Be sure to feed Blackie!) SECTION II-STUDENTS 1. We present Frank Kury's argumentative ability to Kenny Richens. Remember to use this, Kenny. 2. To Miss Reichleyâs future students, we leave Harriet Stuckâs typing ability. 3. We will Bob Heplerâs âharem to Oscar Snyder. Have a good time, âOzzie.â 4. We bequeath Nancy Epler's shy manner to Francis Wirt of the junior class. 5. We leave Don Beistel's muscle-building course to the pride of the junior class, Pete James. 6. We will Hannah Tresslerâs blonde tresses to Betsy Eby. 7. We dedicate Bob Lawrenceâs gym suit to Bill Kovaschetz. You better let the seams out, Bill. 8. We present Esther Comfortâs chewing gum ability to those who can get away with it. 9. Lee Miller leaves all American history classes to John Ginna. Hope you like history, John. 10. We bequeath Pat Smithâs sunny smile to Pat Long. 11. We will to Sally Messner, Bill Lauver's trumpeting ability. 12. We leave Mary Mantzâs bottle of H:0-.. to Nettie Snyder, who is an unhappy brunette. 13. We dedicate Nelson Hooverâs phobia of girls to Bill Fishburn. 14. To all of Miss Fernslerâs future classes, we leave Shirley Ilassingerâs love for English. 15. Dick Radel wills each and every one of his freckles to Jill Baylor, the poor unfor- tunate junior who has none. 16. We leave Barbara Schnee's television set to Kay Phillips, who wishes to shirk her homework. 17. We will Carl Strollâs soda jerking ability to Phyllis Delp, employee of Rea and Derickâs. 18. We bequeath to Cynthia King, Esther Rosbachâs playing ability in hockey. 19. We leave Dave Thomasâ bright shiny Hudson in place of Herman Leitzel's heap. 20. We will Charlotte Klineâs love of archaeology to Wade Heath. Being in weak mind and physically incapacitated, we, the Class of 1954, bequeath to our humble underclassmen, the items mentioned on this page. Witnessed by: R. U. Ready I. M. Charged D. K.
