As we read the recordings of our outstanding events in sports, activities, and social functions, may we face the future with the confidence and inspiration of the ancient Romans, as leaders of tomorrow. 4 We, the Class of 1955, take genuine pride and plea- sure in dedicating this Torch to one whose character, pleasing personality, and enthusiastic interest have been invaluable in inspiring individual achievement and social organization in our school. The Keytoners knew him as a willing and capable musician, bringing them much pleasurable success. The Future Teachers of America enjoyed his leader- ship as an adviser, who helped them to understand more fully the advantages and opportunities in the field of teaching. Because of his sincerity, his earnest and skillful teach- ing in the classroom, and his friendly assistance in our school life, we have learned to respect and admire him. It is with sincere appreciation that we dedicate this, the Torch of 1955, to MR. HUGH A. WILLIAMSON ■■■ Alma Mater Hail! Alma Mater fair, We sing to thee O Praises to dear S. H. S. and love that shall endless be, so Hail! Alma Mater, fair, Triumph o’er all, We are faithful to thy bidding, When e’re you call. Hail! Alma Mater, fair, Hail!

It was quite a struggle, but thanks to our adviser, Mr. Kaiser, and the various members of our faculty, we at last became Seniors and have graduated. Some of us will continue our education in higher schools of learning. Others will go forward to seek jobs. As we look back on the school years of 1954 and 1955, we like to remember the social events we attended. We had a lot of fun on Sophomore Day at the expense of the poor Sophomores, of course. Farewell assembly and commencement will always be remembered as two of the highlights of our high school career. We had a wonderful time at our parties and picnic. For these two social events we say “Thank you” to our Senior class parents. Oh, yes, we must not forget our prom. That was really a gala event. The Junior Chamber of Commerce deserves a lot of credit for sponsoring the party at the Legion Hall after the prom. We really had an enjoyable time there. And now as we, the class of 1955, come to the end of our high school career, we pause a moment to give thanks to those of you who have helped us over life’s first hurdle. Appreciation The Class of 1955 wishes to express its grateful ap- preciation to Mr. Kaiser, our class adviser. His warm and heartening friendliness, and his skillful leadership in directing the work of our class shall always be a happy recollection.

National Honor Society At the end of their junior year the following seniors were elected to membership in the National Honor Society on the basis of character, scholarship, and service to the school: 37 James Apr Lena Fisher Edward Frymoyer Allan Jones Frances Wirt Marilyn Zimmerman JOHN HAUK DONALD CONRAD PAM FOX MARTIN POPE President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Class of 1956 We are the Class of ’56. Yesterday we were sophomores and today juniors. We sold candy and cokes at the basketball games—hot coffee and French fries at the football games; we had a hand in the varsity sports too. How proud we were of our stars! Of course we’ll never forget the Junior- Senior Prom with many evenings and much energy spent hanging decora- tions. Mr. Drick, our wonderful class adviser, has guided us successfully through our first two years of high school, with the help of our class officers. The friendship of classmates and their cooperation have helped us reach our goals. One year left, and we hope to follow in the footsteps of the successful classes before us. What a wonderful year we have had! 38 ROBERT DRICK Class Adviser Juniors Junior Classrooms Sophomore Classrooms PETER CARPENTER President SUSAN MERTZ Vice-President MARILYN KINLEY Secretary FRANK CELLITTI Treasurer Class of 1957 On August 30, 1954, there arrived at Old Main a group of students who were soon to be initiated as sophomores. They were green, as all sophomores are, and filled with anxiety yet anticipation. This was the Class of 1957. 1 he first few weeks were ones of confusion; locating classrooms, becoming ac- quainted with new teachers, and adjusting to the many school activities kept the new students quite busy. fhen came Sophomore Day when the students in ridiculous garb humbled themselves before the “distinguished, honorable, kind, and intelligent seniors.” The superiors realized, however, that in due time these “humble” ones would become their successors. Those newly-initiated members of senior high soon became an organized group, be ter Carpenter, who had capably led the class for three years, was elected president. Susan Mertz, who had been active in class activities, became vice-president in a mi- nority for the presidency. Marilyn Kinley, who served so faithfully and efficiently in junior high, was again elected secretary. The treasurer, Frank Cellitti, was also re-elected, having served the class well in that capacity for the past three years. The Class of '57 is endeavoring to make the most of their remaining years in high school. Remembering the past, and being attentive to the present, they are looking ahead to the future and what it will bring.

The last minute rush! Library Club Ready Helpers The Library Club, consisting of forty-four girls from the Senior, Junior, and Sophomore classes, forms an essential part of our school life. It promotes reading in SI IS by making attractive book displays and providing a varie- ty of books, magazines, and newspapers. Ar- ranging books alphabetically, putting maga- zines in racks, repairing books, and keeping the library orderly are just a few of the tasks that these ambitious girls perform as they work an hour a week under the instruction of Mrs. Florence Steigerwalt, the librarian. O ' Meeting two times a month gives the girls ample time to plan social and school activities, such as a bake sale, record dance, assembly program, and a farewell party.

Delving Into the Past The Junior Historian Club has en- deavored to remain worthy of our heri- tage of freedom. Under the direction of Miss Pearl Kawel, the members have worked to pro- mote an interest in the history of Penn- sylvania, as well as the United States. The club has gone to many places of historical note during the year and has also attended various museums. Meet- ings, at which discussions are held on different events in history and future projects are planned, are held the third Monday of each month.

Bottom—Senior and Junior High make a good beginning for a new field. On the Downbeat The Sunbury High School Band has once again convinced everyone that it is one of the most outstanding musical organizations in Pennsylvania. Two concerts are given yearly—the Spring Concert and the Winter Concert. The yearly activity centers mainly around playing for football games and presenting well-executed drills at half- time. This year a formation, which will probably become traditional, was in- augurated. At the last football game of the season, the senior members of the band formed an “S” while playing the Alma Mater with the underclassmen forming a circle around them. Thus, the senior members ended their career in the Sunbury High School Band, as far as football games were concerned. Mr. Coleman, director of the band, is responsible for the fine achievements attained by the organization during the school year. Top—Get ready to march! Bottom—Swing and sway in Hernando’s Hideaway.

Looking at the Choristers P ■ o of today, you see the musical stars of tomorrow. 52 Singing Along Together The Glee Club is composed of the music- ally-inclined students of SHS. Because of the newly-formed activity period, many in- terested pupils have been able to join this talented group. With the 155 members separated into three divisions, greater musical training is received because of the individual instruction given them by Miss Katherine Reed, their directress. At the annual Christmas program, the Glee Club combined with the Choristers to present a novel tableau, In Song and Story. In addition to the sacred hymns, variety numbers were presented at the Spring Con- cert, held yearly in commemoration of music week. Practice perfects the Christmas program.

With their new adviser, Mr. Hugh Wil- liamson, the “future teachers” hold their meet- ings every third Thursday at noon. At their meetings teachers are asked to speak on dif- ferent subjects, grades, and phases of teaching. Once a year, a day is set aside for F. T. A. Day. On this day each member either ob- serves or teaches in the grade or subject in which he is interested. F. T. A.

Key Club OFFICERS President John Ginno - Vice-President Russell Wilhour The Key to Leadership One of the most active boys’ clubs in Sun- bury High School is the Key Club, an Inter- national Service Club, which is sponsored by the Kiwanis. The purpose of Key Club is to develop initiative and leadership in boys. To be a member, each boy must have attained a “C” average, possess good character, and be willing to serve the school and community. Under the guidance of their advisers, Mr. Paul Keefer, Mr. Robert Drick, and Mr. George Myers, the boys render service to the school and community through many activi- ties, such as parking cars at football games, conducting devotions over the amplifier each morning, and sponsoring Career Day. This year the Key Club conducted an active campaign against horror- crime comics and succeeded in re- moving many of these undesirable books from local news-stands. 56 International Trustee Football fans—want your cars parked? Heated discussion. Behind the scenes. Dane Campbell reads the scripture. Daily devotions. Advisers Drick and Keefer help with a problem The Key Club of Sunbury is honored, this year, in having Dale Jenkins, a member of the Junior class, elected to the office of In- ternational Trustee. To obtain this office, a boy must be of good character, a good student, and believe in the Key Club ideals. After he is supported by his home and neighboring states at the district convention, he t r a v e 1 s to the International Convention and campaigns for five days be- fore being put up for election to the House of Delegates. The House of Delegates elects twelve trustees, which include boys from the United States, Canada, and Hawaii. He is then installed into office and serves until the following summer.

Meeting every Thursday night, under their new supervisor, Miss Pa- tricia Houtz, the girls are taught to shoot correctly in prone, sitting, and standing positions. The rules and regulations of the club are governed by the National Rifle Association, which, at the end of the year, awards emblems of the dif- ferent classes to the girls. The classes in which the girls are divided are the pro-marksman, marksman, and sharpshooter. OFFICERS Bullseye coming up! Mr. Auten . . . talley expert.

Because the staff is constantly on the lookout for “copy”, the paper is crammed with articles about school assemblies, sports, dances, and other happenings which interest the student body. The paper is published monthly under the guidance of Miss Katherine Fernsler. As the staff was selected last May, the members could work during the summer months to prepare an issue, which was distributed the first week of school. Again this year the School Times has stood the test and takes its place as one of the best newspapers the students of Sunbury High School have ever published.

HINDS Head Coach A Message to the Seniors In the number of years that I have been associ- ated with football, I have never seen a group with the enthusiasm and the spirit which you, the mem- bers of the 1954 football squad, possessed. By mix- ing your physical assets with a tremendous desire to win, you achieved many notable successes. In many cases our relationship has extended over a period of four or five years. During this time you have learned the true meaning of hard work, sacri- fice, and self-denial. Coach Hinds proudly accepts the Keystone Conference Trophy. Each one of you is indebted to the game of foot- ball. You can help repay this debt by utilizing those lessons you learned so well in the biggest game of all, the game of life. To those of you who are leaving, we extend a fond farewell and our sincere wishes for a happy and successful future. To all of you, thanks for a wonderful year. James F.

FOOTBALL 71 EDWARD J. ZALINSKI Assistant Coach RUSSEL WINEGARDNER Assistant Coach Gridmen GRIDIRON SUNBURY—21 NORTHUMBERLAND—0 Howe—Sept. 10, 1954 Opening the season with a bang, a spirited Sunbury eleven again triumphed over an underdog Norry squad in the first game to be played in the Sunbury High School Memorial Stadium. To Marty Pope goes the distinction of scoring the first touchdown on the new field. Both he and Case scored be- hind the blocking of a well-balanced and aggressive line. The final tally came on an interception by George Rohr- bach, who played a tough, alert game on defense. Bidel- spach made the three conversions to complete the scoring. SUNBURY—0 WILLIAMSPORT-31 Away—Sept. 18, 1954 Out-classed but never out-fought, the Blue and White went down to defeat before the strong, hard-charging Millionaires. The Cherry and White scored on the opening kickoff and went from there to register TD’s in every quarter. The overall tight defense of the Williamsport line, along with the fine running of the backs, proved too much for the determined Owls. SUNBURY—32 BERWICK-0 Away—Sept. 24, 1954 A touchdown-minded crew of Owls proved that they would be a factor to be reckoned with in the Keystone Conference by routing the Bulldogs with a five touchdown margin. The Blue and White weren't to be stopped after ex- ploding on the second play with a 57-yard maneuver by Case. Oscar Snyder chalked up the second TD on a plunge moments before the halt. The remainder of the scoring resulted from fine runs by speedy Marty Pope and Snyder, whose clever faking and overall brilliant play ac- counted for the final two tallies. Praise must be given to the Owls’ rugged forward wall which smothered Berwick's single wing attack throughout the contest. SUNBURY—27 POTTSVILLE-O Home—Oct. 1, 1954 The Hinds-Zalinski coached unit, featuring great team spirit and aggressiveness, handed Pottsville its worst defeat at the hands of a Sunbury aggregation. Case provided the spark that set the Owls in action by breaking through left tackle and racing 43 yards for the initial score. On the last play in the second quarter Dick Shipe, one of the finest defensive centers to play for the Blue and White in recent years, intercepted a pass on the Crimson 45 and sped to paydirt as four potential tackles were cleared from his path. The remaining touchdown came on a Snyder to Lendh pass and a run by Pope. SUNBURY—8 COAL TOWNSHIP-14 Home—Oct. 8, 1954 Inability to capitalize on early breaks turned out to be the difference between victory and defeat as the Demons nipped Sunbury by a six-point margin. Twice the Owls drove within the ten after recovering fumbles, only to have Coal Twp. slam the door in their face. The Blue and White drew first blood by the means of a safety after Bob Yagle executed a perfect coffin comer back. SHS again grabbed the lead in the third quarter as HIGHLIGHTS Snyder's line plunge climaxed a 68-yard drive, but moments later the Demons came roaring back to push across the winning tally. SUNBURY—7 SELINSGROVE—7 Home—Oct. 18, 1954 A spirited Selinsgrove eleven made Sunbury resort to a last-period rally in order to gain a tie. The Seals struck early and carried the fight to the Owls most of the way until the fourth quarter, when Lamar Wolfe pounced on a fumble deep in Selinsgrove territory. Seven plays later, Case carried the ball over. Joe Johnston then calmly booted the pigskin between the uprights to deadlock the score. SUNBURY—19 HAZLETON-O Home—Oct. 22, 1954 The Owls took advantage of Hazleton miscues to turn back the invaders in a hard-fought contest. A pass interception by Ronnie Wetzel started the first goalward march which ended on Snyder's plunge from two yards out. Two more touchdowns were set up by fumbles as Pope and Snyder carried the ball into paydirt. The Mountaineers were forced to take to the air in the final period as App, Treon, Rohrbach, and the rest of the forward wall continually smothered Hazleton’s ground attack. SUNBURY—6 MILTON-13 Home—Oct. 29, 1954 The SHS gridders went down to defeat before a fired- up Milton eleven who kept the Owls primarily on the de- fensive. Neither team could score in a touch and go first half, but the Panthers exploded in the third quarter with two tallies. Sunbury put on its first sustained drive in the final period with fine running by Schreffler and a pass to Wolfe that put the ball on the two; Case then hit the line to make the score. SUNBURY—18 SHAMOKIN—0 Away—Nov. 6, 1954 A great team effort was displayed as the Owls rolled over Shamokin in a bitterly-fought contest which saw seven men banished. Striking overland for two touchdowns and through the air for the other, the Blue and White took the game that counted as they won the Keystone Conference title. Pope scored the first TD, while the game’s most spectacular play, a 93-yard run by George Schreffler, accounted for the second. Wolfe agilely got behind the Grevhound defend- ers to haul in a pass from Case for the final score. SUNBURY—7 MOUNT CARMEL-19 Home—Nov. 13, 1954 One of the finest Mount Carmel teams in recent years employed a smooth-working backfield with a hard-hitting line to whip a game Blue and White unit. The Tornadoes struck in lightning fashion for three touchdowns in the first two periods and started off a second half rally to remain undefeated. A pass to Lendh and a conversion by Johnston represented the only Sunbury scor- ing, although they threatened on several occasions. Crowd- pleasing ball was played throughout the game in which fifteen seniors saw action for the Owls. Sunbury Memorial Stadium Welcome to the New Field The construction of one of the finest stadiums in the region has made 1954 a year to be remem- bered in the annals of Sunbury sports history. The field is the first phase in a long range building pro- gram planned by the school district. Modern ac- commodations have been provided for both football and track, while those for baseball are to be added soon. Among the outstanding features of the field are the clubhouse which furnishes up-to-date facilities, including the press box, and the lighting system, four times more powerful than the one used on the old field. A good foundation has been laid on the gridiron so that in time the teams will be playing on one of the best turfs to be had. Formal dedication exercises took place October 1, before thousands of enthusiastic spectators. High- lights in the hour long program were recognition to the contractors as well as school officials for the part that each played toward making the project a success, an outstanding address on the benefit of athletics, and the presentation of the colors by the Marine corps and the Senior and Junior High School Bands. Present at the ceremonies as hon- nored guests were the former coaches of the Owls. 76 Kneeling, Left to Right—Managers, Tony Kline and David Fasold.

The Sunbury basketballers, directed by Coach John Lapinsky and sparked by veterans Glenn King, Clark Focht, Oscar Snyder, and Ronnie Wetzel took on and defeated all comers in the first half of the Susquehanna Basketball League race. The Owls, combining a 73 point average with a tight defense, played crowd-pleasing ball in notch- ing nine straight victories, o e The Blue and White cinched the first-half flag in a crucial game played at Selinsgrove. Both squads, each previously undefeated in league play, put forth outstanding team efforts; but the Owls proved to be too much for the Seals. In “55” Sunbury sent onto the hardwoods one of its finest quintets in the past several seasons. Aggressiveness on offense as well as alertness on defense made the Lapinskymen contenders all the way. A well-balanced team that possessed speed, height, and good shooting ability, the Blue and White dribblers gave all they had and did a good job in representing Sunbury High School. 77 Varsity Basketball Senior Scorers Top Row, Left to Right—Clark Focht, Oscar Snyder, Bob Mitchell, Don Eckrod, Glenn King.

Garman On October 1, 1954, the Sunbury School District lost one of its most outstanding faculty members. Mr. Garman, beloved teacher and friend, was the principal of the Junior High School for the past eight years. His enduring interest in athletics and exceptional teaching ability together with his pleasing personality have implanted his memory in our hearts. Athletic Council The direction and regulation of the various interscholastic sports lie in the hands of the Athletic Council. Throughout the year these representatives of the junior and senior high school sports do their best to promote sportmanship and interscholastic good will. This advisory as well as authoritative body has done another commendable job during the year in solving the problems and determining the policies that make the high school sports a success.

Torch staff visits the Grit Sophomore Day “Hail Most Distinguished, Honorable, Kind, and Intelligent Seniors” was the cheer with which the Sophomores greeted the Sen- iors on September 24. The happy day began at 8:00 A. M. with many Sophomores overloaded with Seniors’ books, instruments, and heavy winter coats. It seemed as though the Seniors had an unus- ual amount of homework the previous night. Throughout the day the “greenies” acquired more shades of lipstick than are sold in the 5 and 10 cent store. The climax of the initiation period came in the New High Gym as the Sophomores re- ceived their punishment for all laws they had broken during the day. Their trial was con- ducted by a judge and several jury members. Even though the “Sophs” may have thought the “Seniors” were cruel and may have felt conspicuous in their cool outfits, this surely was a day to be remembered by all members of Sunbury High School. Prom Queen Sadie Rabuck and King James Stover crossing Cinderella’s threshold. A Night With Cinderella Never to be forgotten was the night we spent as Cinderella’s guests in her ball- room. We danced under a ceiling of pink, blue, and white streamers to the music of Gabe Garland’s orchestra. At intermission the orchestra entertained us with impersonations of top dance bands across the country. On leaving the prom we were met at the door by Cinderella’s coach and horses which whisked us away to accept an invitation as guests of the Sunbury Jaycees to a Post Prom Party at the new American Legion Ballroom. There we danced to the music of “Chet’s Quartet” and feasted on a variety of midnight snacks. We were honored to be part of the first group ever to have a sponsored post-prom party in the history of Sunbury High School. Cinderella's magic chariot and horses await her arrival. Mary Lou Gargie receives her crown at the Post Prom Party from Jaycees William Eckman and Paul Miller.

Newman, Brown Capture Racing Spotlight Labor Day This season’s largest crowd of racing fans witnessed a thrill- packed race at Selinsgrove Speed- way on Labor Day afternoon. Charles “Bip” Newman turned the tables on Bill Treon by win- ning the 50-lap stock car feature. Lloyd “Speedy” Brown capped the “Wreck ’em Race” over last year's titleholder, Bob Furman. The winners were given plen- ty of competition by quite a few all-season stand outs including Bob Dreiblbeis, Russell Leitzel, Dave Fasold, Holden Moyer, and Donald Bastian. A special attraction for fans was a “Powder Puff Derby” which was won by Zereta Hel- wig. Other entries in the girls’ race were: Sandra Stillwagner, Nancy Henninger, Jackie Heint- zelman, Jean Yordy, Helen Scholvin and Sondra Slough. School Board Elects Officers At a regular meeting of the Sunbury Area Joint School Board held on Tuesday evening, Octo- ber 31, election of officers and discussion of important issues took place. Officers elected were as fol- lows: president, William Betz; vice-president, Glen King; secre- tary, John Ginna; treasurer, Charles Reigel; and clerk, Robert Mitchell. New members of the board are Dick Heintzelman, John Shanosky, and William Beck. Principal of the high school, Eugene Shirk, brought up the problem of smoking in the boys’ lavatory since this presents a serious fire hazard. Members of the school board decided that all smoking should be confined to the corridors. Anyone caught smoking in other than this des- ignated place will be forced to measure the corridors with a six- inch hot dog. Janitor Edward Mackert will help enforce this ruling. New Police Division Added to Force With the upsurge of Demo- cratic power in our smog-ridden city, a completely new law en- forcement agency was installed. Chief of Police, Dick Shipe, ap- pointed, with the advice of the city council, the head of the “Peeping Tom Division”, Clark Focht, Peeper First Class. The newly assigned members placed on “prohibition” are Barry Bi- delspach, Jerry Treon, Bill Kuensler, and Jim Garman—all with the rank of Peeper. Because of the increase of crime in our metropolis, a “Parking meter Patrol” has been inaugurated and staffed with women officers. Heading the patrol is Captain Sandra Reich- enbach with the able assistance of officers Medora Feehrer, Carol Bastian, June Thomas, and Joyce Schindler. With this new protection af- forded Sunbury, we are sure that crime will be cut to a maximum. 5th Ward Buzzards Slaughter the 6th Ward Ridge-Runners 73 2 to 0 Saturday afternoon a capacity crowd of 35 saw the Buzzards, under the direction of Joe Johns- ton, beat the Ridge-Runners, coached by Ronnie Wetzel, for the first time in 99 and one half years. Starring for the Buzzards were: quarterback, John Hollen- bach; Raymond Lawrence play- ing fullback; Ed Frymoyer play- ing tailback; and Bill Pursel at blocking-back. Fullback Raymond Lawrence scored 70 points; while Ed Fry- moycr’s field goal, which soared out of the stadium, gave the Buzzards 3 and one half points. A small riot was caused when the Buzzard’s waterboy, Ronnie “Casey” Young, detected the opposition’s waterboy Ray “Blue” Barron attempting to borrow the dipper which was concealed in a Buzzard uniform. Efficient constable Jon Haussler quelled the disturbance. The Brownie Band under the direction of Dale Kline, per- formed a snappy half time drill. Flash!

Class of ’55 Holds 10th Reunion Class Will We, the class of ’55 of Sunbury High School, in the Commonwealth of Pennsyl- vania, being of unsound mind and of poor memory, do hereby, make, publish, declare, and redeclare this to be our first and last will and testament. SECTION I. TEACHERS We leave to Mr. Derr one complete set of Uncle Wiggly books, something we think every P. D. teacher should have. One year’s subscription to the “Pennsylvania Dutchman” we will to Mr. Coleman. We make Mrs. Hatton the happy recipient of several underclassmen just like Gayle Schriver. We would like to transfer Mr. Hill’s custom built fire-escape to Mr. Weaver’s side of the building in hopes that he, too, may avoid the noonday riot at the main entrance. SECTION II. STUDENTS We bequeath the following items to underclassmen: Charlie Schindler’s driving goes to Bob Cook. (Watch out for that walking pole at the corner of 10th and Court Streets). To Shirley Peters, Janet McLin leaves all the gum she left sticking to the under- side of desks, chapel seats, and banisters. Bob Herb donates his band uniform to Charles Moyer (Get your suspenders, Charlie). George Rohrbach wills his magnificent vocabulary to Dick Rohrbach (You’re lucky, Dick). We will John Braun’s duck tail to Gerald “Mess” George (Now he won’t have to grow one). May Betsy Eby’s curly hair be given to Polly Hagan. We leave Kay Klose’s cheerleading ability to Sally Fulginiti. To Mary Fisher, we present Sally Messner’s pony tail. We think Mike Moll should have Joe Johnston’s wranglers. Carol Beck’s smile goes to Carol Cornelius. We present John Lark’s Democrat Button to Sam Haupt. (We know he will appreciate this). Patsy Klase leaves her giggle to Alice Shanken. Peter Gabriel will receive Dick Almond’s inexhaustible supply of library permits. To Janice Shipman we offer Genie Beers’ “gift of gab”. Bruce Shoch’s marching technique we solemnly bequeath to Terry Shaeffer. We think Bruce Propst will need Doug Swank’s slide rule. Kay Phillips leaves her “Light and Bright” to Cynthia King. Marty Pope will take up Oscar Snyder’s football-playing ability. 94 Class Will Carol Pope ought to appreciate Helen Klingelhoeffer’s piccolo playing. Dale Wolfe’s knowledge of all Lewisburg’s alleys we donate to anyone who thinks his car will make it to Lewisburg. We convey George Lendh’s new book “How to Make Girls Worship You”, to all underclassmen who wish they had George’s technique. Suzi Young’s plaid Bermuda shorts we will to Mary Baer. We leave Shirley Nye’s Ford convertible to Dave Porter in hopes that he can pilot it better than he does his “Cad”. Ike “Strangler” Kunkle wills his wrestling ability to Stanley Sloditskie. We bequeath to Kay Wilt, Dave Murray’s appetite which will surely make him grow. Rodney Ries’ duals” we present to Bob Smith (Rodney’s aren’t fake). Allan Jones reluctantly wills his badly dented, rust-corroded, school-owned bari- tone to Barb Hassinger in hopes she will do more justice to it than our “Ham” did. I, Eugene Squire” Cook, give to “Pin” Hoover my “Ben Gunn” haircut. Lynn Bolig gratefully accepts Shirley Mackrella’s gym suit with the idea in mind that she, too, can be poured into it. A grease gun belonging to Jack Reffeor was mislaid in Dan Strouse’s car for future purposes. Janet Frank's cymbals were given to John Beard so he can get a big “bang” out of them. Jim Beaver leaves his position as “head sock sorter” to Charles Sassaman. Pat Walters bestows her titian tresses to Sylvia Kunkle. Ernie Bahner leaves his technique of chauffeuring to Bill Inns who is very adept at burning rubber. We think Jean Hall’s dimples should be left to Faith Davenport. John Denius wills his twenty-seven “cat” shirts to Larry Blaisdell hoping to en- hance his wardrobe. To this our first and last will and testament we hereby affix, sign, and write our signatures in this year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and fifty-five. SIGNED CLASS OF ’55 Witnesses: B. B. Gun I. C. Hugh G. Izzy Nervous O. U. Cat Ben Pickabentcue 95 Memories Soon, even though we are looking forward to it, we will he leaving high school—never again to be the same. There arc many things we will continue to do, but not with the old “school spirit.” Only our memories will serve to bring back the inci- dents of our high school days. Remember our beautiful campus, the quick run to “Campbell’s” for a snack between classes, or maybe the “pause that refreshes” when we get the much needed drink? All the excitement of the last minute dashes of the football game, or the fun of going “steady” can easily come into focus in our mind. Whizzing through our daily classes suddenly brings us to that much awaited day of graduation, and we realize that our high school days are over. Memories and pictures are the only key to our past —but what about our futures? Will they be as interesting as we hope, or will they be as much fun as our “older days?” This awaits to be seen, but still, we have our Memories. Let’s see what we can do with them! t
