VVe know that our book can show our yearis activities only partially anti im- perfectly, we also know that what we learn in high school about life is not the whole picture. Swatara Township, itself, is just a small piece of America, but in many ways it is typical of the whole Country. The residents of Swatara may live in close-built communities or solitary farms: they work at all kinds of jobs, they are people with all sorts of backgrounds and ambitions. Yet they are all Americans living and working harmoniously in a tiny segment of the Unitecl States. The 1954 Swozttei' is our attempt to holtl up to view, not only life at STHS, but also the broader aspects of living in Swatara Township. Dedication The 195-I Szmttei' is cletlicatetl to the people of Sxvatara Vliownship -the people who build the homes, roacls, churches and schools, who raise crops in Swatarais fertile soil, who serve the community through their business establishments: who labor in Swatarais industries: who fish her streams, roam her hills, and call Swatara Township their home. Administration and Facult Swatam, once the playgronncl of the Indians, today still invites the 'wznideiifng foot, the eye searching for bemity. Leave the beaten track and seek out the leisurely n-nil that winds through the shining green of natu1'e'S inspiration.

Clary Hiftwgf 1949-50 ln the month of September in the year 1949, ninety-two boys and girls met for the first time in front of the doors of Swatara Town- ship High School. VVe looked forward eagerly to the years ahead of us. We had a class meeting and elected the following officers: president, Lester Aungstg vice- president, Lester Harvey, secretary, Bette Lebog treasurer and historian, Thelma Van Alien. Our homeroom teachers were Miss Bishop, Mrs. Roth, and Miss Borges. The first event we participated in was the annual bazaar for the ,benefit of the Athletic Association. The eighth grade was in charge of the fish pond and the canned goods. 1fVe celebrated Halloween with a party in the gym. 14 ln November we sold magazines and made the first deposit in our treasury. Miss Bishop's room had an ice cream party for having the highest amount of sales. Members elected to the May Queen's Court that spring were Bette Lebo and Antoinette Otzel. We elected the following ollicers for our freshman year: president, Robert Hoppleg vice- president, Lester Aungstg secretary, lean Blackg treasurer, Susie Doyle, historian, Robert Behney. 1950-51 Our ninth grade homeroom teachers were Miss Higgins, Mr. Shaalc, and Mr.' Benedek. The class party was held on March 29 with games, refreshments, and dancing. The boys beat the girls at a rollicking game of basketball. An election was held in April for the at- tendants of the May Court. VVe chose Antoinette Otzel and Jean Black. Our final class meeting indicated that our officers for our sophomore class would be: presi- dent, Joseph Breskig vice-president, Earl VVolfg secretary, Jean Black, treasurer, Paul Mijacg historian, Josephine Custin. 1951-52 Mrs. Brown, Miss llospers, and Miss Myers were our homeroom teachers. We sold stationery and wallets to add to our growing treasury. October 31 was the date of our class party, a Halloween celebration, where we were enter- tained by members of the class. We were included in the operetta and the Christmas program for the first time. We also sponsored the entire Easter assembly, presented to the high school on April 11, 1952. lylay Day was held on May 2. The sopho- more attendants were Rosemarie Yurcic and Jean Black. We chose class colors of gold and choco- late brown: class flower, yellow roseg and the class motto, Today decides tomorrowf' hlany students from our class participated in the exchange assembly with lN'Tiddletown: Walter Siegfried, Richard Cracey, Phyllis Im- brognio, Jane Kline, Susie Doyle, and Bruce Mason.

Qther members of the marching unit were: majorettes-Lorraine Muzic, Bette Lebo, Betty Cilbert, and Josephine Custing band members- Lester Aungst, and Bruce Masong drum major- Walter Siegfried. The class sold Christmas candy to add to the expanding treasury and conducted two other successful money-making affairs: instead of a class party we held an April Showers Dance which was very successful, Miss Hospers was in charge of our junior class play, The Late George Apleyf' The Junior-Senior Prom was held May 1953 in the high school gym. The junior class decor- ated in the colors of the senior class, blue and steel. The theme of the prom was Moonlight and Roses. 1953-54 In September, 1953, 56 seniors returned to begin their last year. The seniors sponsored dances on Saturday nights after home football games. Several of our classmates helped to push the football team into the championship for the third year in succes- sion. This was the second year we had a Christ- mas tree in front of the high school. Many of the seniors helped make this possible. Art stu- dents painted a beautiful Christmas scene which was placed on the front of the building. The seniors also helped decorate the auditorium. We ordered and received our name cards, picked our commencement announcements, and chose our class song in preparation for gradua- tion. As guests of the junior class, we enjoyed a memorable evening at the Junior-Senior Prom, with the gym decorated in the theme of April Showersf' The class banquet at Farlingis Hotel was another affair we will long remember. Salem Lutheran Church was the scene of our Baccalaureate Service. Significantly. the last page of our class his- tory ended on the first day of June, the night of Commencement. Fifty-six young men and women tumed their backs on high school and their faces hopefully toward the future.

Football Varsity Wins Cbampionrbip At the beginning of the 1953 Football Sea- son, tension was high. Swatara had taken the Conference Championship for two successive seasons. The big question was-could they do it again? This year's team did not disappoint its fol- lowers. When the season closed, they had rolled to their third successive Lower Susque- hanna Conference Championship. The '53 team will long be remembered for its ability - 1 3 ag. ,lmifnn to fight on despite injuries and reverses that would have been disastrous to a team with less spirit and will to win. Head coach John Rod- dick and his assistants, Frank Benedek and Joseph Manmiller, deserve much credit for their ability to develop players and instill them with will to give their best at all times. The Eagles amassed a record of six wins, two losses and two ties. As in the past two years, this yearis edition of Roddick Men were Robert Behney Joseph Breski Robert Campbell Richard Gracey Allen Hendricks End Fullbacla Guard End Center Two years varsity Three year veteran One varsity campaign Participated one year One varsity season Capable receiver Bruising performer Aggressive blocker Steady player Spunky campaigner 46 VVilliam Herigan Robert Hopple Quarterback Guard Two vear veteran Participated two years Passing whiz Rugged linebacker outstanding on the defense. Opposing teams were able to score only 67 points against them. The Eagles offensive team tallied a total of 165 points for the season. Top man in this department was joseph Breski, the league's leading scorer with 97 points. The Harrisburg Lions Club selected one back and one lineman from Swatara as Player of the VVeek. joseph Breski and Robert Hop- ple were chosen for this honor as a tribute to their outstanding play and sportsmanship. They were also named to the Lower Susquehanna Conference All-League Team.

Roars, not snores, accompanied Quit Your Kiddingf' a three-act comedy presented by the senior class on November 19 and 20, 1953. The play concerns a Widow, hlrs. Mary Buford, and her threegchildren-Evelyn, Binnie, and Winnie. The Buford family receives a letter from their rich old maid aunt telling them that she is coming for a visit. She also writes that she is going to give all three girls a check for five thousand dollars. She says she despises boys and is glad that the Buford children are all girls. This information in their aunt's letter hits the Bufords like a bombshell, because VVinnie is really a boy. ln order to qualify for five thousand dollars, Wfinnie disguised himself as a girl. This, of course, leads to many uproarious situations and helps to make the play an amusing success. hlrs. E. Kathryn Brown directed the play and Nancy Felty acted as promptor. The play cast consisted of the following seniors: Lorraine Muzic, lane Kline, Betty Gil- bert, Lester Aungst, Phyllis lmbrognio, Eliza- beth Heinbach, Charles lX'loyer, Anthony Agypt, Nancy Dwyer, Rosemarie Yurcic, Bruce Ma- son, and Wtiltei' Siegfried. 62 Berman Street Crarfer Szmmm Stage zmior Claim' Play :'5.g:i?i'5' 54 fiiifi ' i. ,- gg is tit t Q gig?
