MR. MILTON S. HERSHEY
Milton S. Hershey—for many people these words
name a great businessman and philanthropist. For
us, they mean a beloved foster father.
He took us in our early years, fed us, clothed us,
and gave us an education. In return, we should
honor him by life-long appreciation.
We sincerely hope that in the years to come we
may reflect credit on him and on H. I. S.
MR. C. FLOYD LICHTENBERGER
^edticatio-K,
The Graduating Class of 1948 deems it a great
pleasure to dedicate this Acropolis to Mr. C. Floyd
Lichtenberger.
A fine friend, he is always ready to give of his
time and energy to help the fellows whenever a
need arises.
This dedication is intended as an expression of
our gratitude to him.

eAA,
Little do we realize, until we are juniors or seniors in high school,
how large a place our Board of Managers really has in our lives,
both at the farm-homes and in school.
The men on the Board of Managers have our interests and welfare
foremost in all their decisions. To make these decisions they must
use all their resourcefulness and foresight. They realize our wants,
needs, and ambitions. Their desire is to give us as many of the good
things of life as possible.
Many times when we were faced by seemingly insurmountable
obstacles, they were ihere, ready with a guiding word of advice.
We are greatly indebted to them for the wholesome living con-
ditions under which we live as well as for the fine instruction and the
high scholastic standards of The Hershey Industrial School.
With all these advantages, which are brought about by our Board
of Managers, we face our new tasks in the world with an easily un-
derstandable confidence.
Lastly, the Board of Managers has fulfilled ours and Mr. Hershey's
trust in them to use his generous endowment to enrich greatly our
lives here and to prepare us for the future.
As we. the Class of 1948, leave the halls of H. I. S., we extend our
deepest thanks to our foster-fathers, the Board of Managers, for
their help in making our school life a success.

Problems concerning school operation and individual students are
dealt with by the administrative staff. We have come to know some
of these men quite well. Their efficiency and thoroughness have won
our respect. Often they have helped us with serious problems which
optimistic youth is prone to underestimate. Much of their work goes
unheralded, for they do not boast of the benefits the school receives
through their work.
We see the handiwork of this group everywhere at H. I. S.—in
school and on the farm-homes. They supervise our discipline, educa-
tion, and home life. When people visiting the school remark about
how well it is operated, we are reminded that much of the credit
is due to these men.
They hold important executive positions throughout the Hershey
Estates. By the merging of their many and varied abilities we feel
that their decisions and their solutions of problems confronting us
are the best possible. Their interest in and devotion to the school
have resulted in high standards and high ideals for us to follow.
We realize that we cannot appreciate until later years the bene-
fits received through this able group, but we do know they have
helped to equip us to cope successfully with our futures.
As we leave our alma mater, we wish to express our most sincere
thanks for their labors in our behalf.

With the greatest of pride we present our faculty. We have no
words to describe our thanks and gratitude for the patience and
energy they have expended to teach us to the best of their abilities.
We hope that we have not been too often inattentive in the class-
room.
We know our faculty not only as teachers but as good friends and
counselors when we needed advice. Many were the times when they
went out of their way to help us in our personal problems. They told
us of their experiences so that we might profit by their mistakes.
We have found our faculty always ready and willing to help us in
our social life, too. In our senior year this group helped us in many
ways to plan and to make a success of all of our parties. We will
always remember these times because of the fun we had.
We sincerely hope we have left upon our faculty a good impres-
sion of our abilities. We know that we will use all the advice and
help they have given us to become better citizens in the world of
tomorrow, and we hope that in the future we will be a credit to
them and their efforts in our behalf.
We want, at this time, to thank our faculty for everything they
have done for us and to say good-bye to the best faculty H. I. S.
ever had. We are leaving the school, but we will never forget these
people and all they have done for us.

Mr. John E. Wolfe, shorthand and typing instructor here since
September, 1946, died Wednesday night, February II, 1948, in the
Hershey Hospital. He had been in ill health since mid-December, the
result of an operation last summer for an intestinal obstruction. He was
28 years of age.
A life-long resident of Northumberland until the last few years,
he was graduated from the high school there in 1937. He attended
Susquehanna University, where he played varsity basketball for three
years. In 1943 he received a bachelor of science degree in commercial
education.
Shortly thereafter he entered the Navy. He had Naval Reserve
Officers Training at Notre Dame University and was graduated late in
1943 as an ensign in the Gunfire Support Group. He served in both
the E. T. O. and the Asiatic-Pacific Theater. He was discharged May
18, 1946, as a lieutenant, junior grade, and commanding officer of LSM
345.
On February 16, 1946, in San Francisco, he married Miss Pauline
M. Gilliland, of Charlotte, N. C., a former lieutenant in the Army
Nursing Corps. Their son Randall was born May 9. 1947.
We, the Class of 1948, dedicate this page to the memory of
Mr. Wolfe, a fine young man who was liked by all who knew him.

We, the Class of 1948, feel that in electing our class
officers we chose from among our group four of the most
dependable, efficient, and well-rounded boys. We are in-
debted to them for their services to the class and to the
student body.
Among the many functions that occurred during our
regime as seniors were senior class dances and business
meetings. These activities were ably planned and well ex-
ecuted by our officers. We think they used good judgment
in such decisions as choosing the class motto and flower.
In conclusion, we say that their leadership contributed
largely toward the success of our last year at H. I. S.

In 1936 a group of twenty-five boys
began their first year at The Hershey
Industrial School and laid the foundation
for the Class of 1948. Through the years
many were added, and some have left.
Of the original number, only eleven have
been with the class during its twelve-year
history. All these years hold fond mem-
ories, but it wasn't until our freshman year
that the things of greatest importance
began to happen to us.
Ah, did we feel important on that third
day of September, 1944! And why not?
After eight, long, grueling years of school
we had finally become freshmen. But, alas,
our air of superiority was soon defeated
by the long grind of Latin and algebra.
Already some of our class had started
to establish themselves in sports, but at
this early date intramural sports seemed
to dominate the scene. The freshman year
finally passed with plenty of headaches
for both students and faculty.
When the sophomore year started, we
really had our hopes pointed toward the
senior year. It was here that we took one
of the most important steps in our lives.
We began the courses which would event-
ually lead to our life work. Most of us
were satisfied with our choices and began
studying with great spirit. During this year
our class established a firm foothold in
sports and other extracurricular activities.
The experience gained at this early date
was to prove valuable later. As the year
advanced, so did our knowledge and scho-
lastic standing advance; but we had yet to
learn what the future held in store for us.
As the junior year started, we began to
realize more fully our responsibility to the
school. We had leaders in sports, studies,
and extracurricular activities who had the
full support of the class behind them. It
is true that some of us could have worked
a little harder at the beginning of the
year, but by the end of the term most of
us were doing our best. The high-light of
this year came with the annual junior stag
party, which in turn was high-lighted by
the annual gripe for a junior prom.
On September third, 1947, as we ga-
thered in the auditorium for the opening
of school, we officially began our last year
as homeboys. As the year progressed,
there were many reminders that this was
our senior year. Senior pictures were tak-
en, received, and promptly given away by
some of the more feminine-minded mem-
bers of the class, and our social functions
became more frequent. Despite every
one's fears, our first dance was a great
success, but it was only a stepping stone
to the biggest social event of the year—
ihe Commencement Prom. Today, as we
look back over our twelve years of school-
ing, we realize that our last year was the
most difficult. However, it was worth the
effort, for it was also the best year.
ClaAA Will
We, the Class of 1948, being of sound
mind (believe not the juniors on this sub-
ject), do hereby publish our last will and
testament. Our group bequests follow:
To the board of managers, administra-
tion, and faculty we leave our deepest ap-
preciation for their guidance.
To the underclassmen go our intestinal
fortitude, brilliant intellect, and general
wit, with the obvious qualification that
they divide equitably this great store ac-
cording to need.
Individual bequests are as follows:
Heilman leaves his intelligence and pos-
ition as water boy to Dietz and Walsh
respectively. Mayer hands his artistic tal-
ents to Dale Peiffer. Bob Buck is the re-
cipient of the versatility and honor of Bob
Douglas.
Whitfield, that huge, quivering mound
of flesh and bone (mostly flesh), leaves his
vocal ability to Fred Madeira. (Whitty
would leave some flesh to be divided be-
tween James Eisenhuth and Guy McKinny,
but he's afraid Eisenhuth wouldn't share
it with Guy.)
Don Smith gives his athletic ability to
Pud King, while his sportsmanship is spread
over the entire junior class. That marvelous
Adams physique (sigh!) couldn't be do-
nated fairly to only one person, so we ap-
point him to compile a list of worthy re-
cipients. Dale leaves his handsome profile
to Elmer Zitch.
To George Wallish goes Berryhill's de-
pendability. Eckenroth bestows his sincer-
ity upon Venables, and Spece wills h«s
ambition to Fred Hand. Spece also author-
izes Mr. Payne to select a jump-and-jiver
to succeed him in the Spartan Orchestra.
Herb, Hargrove, and Farnworth leave
their crude business tactics and abilities
to Dunlevy and Croce. Ask these fellows
what happened when Lincoln was squeezed
so hard his nose bled.
Seiler gives his snappy wardrobe to
Lundquist and his courteousness to Ray
Topper. Little leaves his smile and good
nature to Raskin.
Hankins wills his radar set to Bill Woods,
provided he takes it to all gym classes.
Hanson bequeaths his booming voice to
Bocian and Rutherford. (Put it to good use,
boys: there is plenty of it.)
Since no one needs them more, we leave
our toothless combs and polishing cloths
to Messrs. Reitz, Shuler, Markley, and the
rest of the faculty who may find them use-
ful in the coming years.
In closing, we leave to the juniors our
crazy fads, such as yo-yos, water pistols,
and bubble gum. We also leave the under-
classmen our broken razor blades (as if we
ever used them) and the Halloween deco-
rations from our first dance.
And now, on this seventh day of June,
1948, we end this document as our last
official act as students of H. I. S.
The usual custom on Class Day is to
project yourself into the future and sneak
a look at Father Time's "Book of Ages."
There's no reason why we should be differ-
ent. so, as the one firefly said to the other,
'Let's glow."
Upon opening the book we see many
familiar names. Levi Herb and Abie Har-
grove are selling names cards, wallet in-
serts, belt buckles, etc., in South Phila-
delphia. Carl Hetrick is sales manager and
general nuisance. The snap-happies, Dick
Gaughan and John Humbert, are pop-
ping shutters for Ensminger Studios. LeRoy
Mayer has taken over Varga's and Petty's
jobs. Bill Tucker achieved his life's desire
by becoming a missionary in Africa. Larry
Crampton went along as guide and inter-
preter.
Ah, I see we have some distinguished
scholars after all. Lloyd Dietrich is a pro-
fessor at P. U.—Phogbound University.
Mark Blizzard is a famous criminal lawyer.
He hasn't won a case yet. Larry Conrad
and Bob Hartstein have become poets,
and their latest poem is something about
"Ol' Nell in the Graveyard." Bob Douglas,
noted author, has just published his latest
novel, Two Rabbits Lost in the Woods.
They tell me that it's a hair-raising story.
We also developed some musical talent.
Doran Whitfield is a soprano soloist for
the Westinghouse Chorus, which is led
(no kidding) by Tom Yoder. Hank Spece,
(the boy with the beat that’s all reet) is
pounding the drums for Woody Wagner's
Wood Choppers. Johnny Murray's Polish
Polkateers are doing all right around the
mining regions. Ah yes, musicians have a
nice racket. In fact, they make their own.
On the sports pages we see that Shorty
Nicholson and Yog Boyer have become
bone-crushing, professional "wrasslers" (it
says here). Harry Hepler and Joe Fry are
calling signals for the Wiconisco Wizards.
Jack Hickey is a tackle at Trevor Tech.
Dynamite Jim Creghan is a guard on the
Fighting Irish eleven. Doc Hanson has tak-
en over the public-speaking duties at the
Yankee Stadium (without the loudspeaker,
that is). Walt Heilman, is incidentally,
still water boy for the Spartans.
Browsing around through the book, we
find that George Berryhill and Glenn
Baugher have settled down and are hap-
pily raising their respective tribes. Stu
Bish has taken over Jigg's place at the
zoo. Jock Diamond has stolen the title,
The Nose, from Bernie Reed. Oakman,
Hake, and Sauder are building chicken
houses for hen-pecked husbands Eaton,
Stonebraker, and Harman.
My space is filled, so I'll close the book.
The rest of the fellows must wait to see
what the future holds for them. It is my
sincere hope that they will be as happy
and successful as those whose careers I
have predicted.

Words and Music by Doran Whitfield
As we, the Class of '48, take leave of scenes so dear,
We wish to thank our many friends for help they gave us here.
With all the strength that we possess we'll keep our goal in sight
And pace ahead, toward victory led, by Honor's guiding light.
We know the way is hard and long, but we are well prepared;
For strength of hand and well trained minds our benefactor cared.
He gave us all the chance we need to lead a wholesome life
With happiness that spells success and makes worthwhile the strife.
These happy years, well spent and gay, we often will recall—
The friendships shared, the ones who cared if we should ever fall.
To you we say a fond "Good-bye" and pray the Lord may bless
Our every move, our kind adieus, and love for H. I. S.

The Hoar-Kleinfelter squad made a fine showing against the toughest
schedule ever faced by H. I. S. gridders.
The Spartans defeated Lebanon, John Harris, Coatesville, and Stevens
Trade, only to suffer a slump and defeats by Carlisle and an out-played
Easton team. Then the Spartans crushed Carson Long and Hagerstown.
Next came the last defeat—at the hands of Patterson Park, Maryland's
best. However, by leading at half-time the Spartans gave the South-
erners their worst scare in a 20-game winning streak.
At Homecoming, H. I. S. took the Cocoa Bean from Hershey High on
a snow-covered field by the most one-sided score in the 5-game series.

The Spartan twine-rippers lost their first three games. Then coach Al
Gibble rearranged his starting combination and won ten in a row, only
to lose to York, Conference champions, with a badly weakened squad.
For the remainder of the season Coach Gibble rarely had his team at
full strength. At one time only eight men were available for action. Con-
sidering these difficulties, while playing the longest and most rugged
schedule in H. I. S. history, the 14 to 9 season record was very good.
Seniors on the squad were Dale Adams, Bob Douglas, Lloyd Dietrich, Joe
Fry, Harry Hepler, Don Smith, and Edwin Shepps.

The 1947 baseball team, made up of ten seniors, four juniors, and a
sophomore, constituted the first H. I. S. baseball team since the spring
of 1942. Considering the long lay-off, ihe boys did quite well with their
record of one victory in three starts. The Spartan's lone victory came on
May 20 when they halted a nine-game John Harris winning streak by
beating the Pioneers, 3-2, at Harris. The winning pitcher was Merl Lutz,
although the stellar relief work of Earl Knepp was the feature of the game.
The Spartans had previously dropped two games—to John Harris, 5-2, on
May 10 and a 3-0 whitewashing at the hands of pitcher Bill Everett of
William Penn on May 15.
The Spartans produced three .300 hitters—Eddie Shepps, .375; Earl
Knepp, .333; and Eugene Bocian, .333. The season summary shows five
runs, 17 hits, and II errors for the Spartans, against nine runs, II hits,
and two errors for the opposition.
Particular commendation must be given to the fine coaching of Coach
Hoar and to the excellent mound work of pitcher Earl Knepp, who pitch-
ed 18 innings, allowing only seven runs and seven hits while fanning 23.
The 1947 baseball Spartans consisted of seniors Bill Hopkins, Bill Hallis,
Merl Lutz, Merl Conrad, Eugene Bocian, Ray Fink, Steve Frantz, Earl
Knepp, and Bob Pickett. There were four juniors—Eddie Shepps, Harry
Hepler, Dale Adams, and Red Eckenroth—and one sophomore, Harry
Russell.

That experience is the best teacher was again proved by H. I. S.'s
first wrestling team. We must, however, commend Coach Kovach's pro-
teges on their fine showing against great odds. The scores of the matches
in no way show the closeness of the individual bouts.
The team won fourteen bouts by falls while losing only ten in that
manner. The best individual record was made by Frank Seiler with four
wins, four losses, and a tie. Butzer and Keightly, with three wins each,
tied for second-place scoring. In addition to Seiler the following seniors
saw action: George Berryhill, Stu Bish, Charlie Crawford, Larry Conrad,
Dickie Dodson, Doc Hanson, Mert Little, and Dean Tomb.
We believe this squad laid the foundation for great future mat teams.

One day Iasi spring a group of hopefuls passed, kicked, and ran in an
effort to show enough skill to be picked for the J. V. squad.
In the fall the boys chosen were called out for practice. Under the
competent supervision and instruction of coaches Gibble and Aichele,
cuts were made, teams were picked, and practice begun.
Finally came the first game—the first of their careers for most of the
boys. Showing good spirit and a will to win, they won their first game from
the William Penn J. V.'s. Next they toppled Hershey High. Then, after
losing a heart-breaker to John Harris, they went on to pile up a very im-
pressive record of six wins to one loss.
We know that we can count on these boys to fill the vacancies left in
the varsity squad, and we wish them luck in their forthcoming season.

Bob Stadulis, with 136 points, was high scorer.
Three other players were in th e three-digit column—Red Patterson,
with 130; Bill Fry, with 1 16; and Beans Harkulich, with 1 13. All thi ree are

This year is the 15th anniversary of The School Industrialist. In 1938
a subscription mailing list was begun. Since then that list has grown stead-
ily until it now numbers nearly 1300, including about 115 exchange sub-
scriptions, the purpose of which is to create good will between H. I. S.
and other schools. About 200 more copies go to student and school
personnel subscribers.
Since the end of World War II. service news in particular and alumni
news in general diminished considerably. Consequently it was necessary
to increase the individual assignments of the reporters. This change gave
them a greater chance to display their writing ability and to bring the
publication up to standards which were long hoped for. The Staff did a
very good job in providing a record of school news for the students.
Mr. Mincemoyer did a fine job as faculty chairman, especially when
news was scanty, to make each issue of our school paper as interesting
as possible.
Others on the Staff who deserve a word of praise are Messrs. Stuckey
and Stahle, for their supervision of the printing; Messrs. Hess, Lichten-
berger, and Sandel, who assist in proofreading; Mr. Stacks, who made
the linoleum-block cuts from which several of the covers were printed;
Miss King, for her articles which accompanied those covers; Mr. Shuler,
for his supervision of photography; and Mrs. Miller, for her efficient
handling of subscriptions and assistance with circulation.

Each graduating class tries to create a yearbook to be proud of. We,
the Class of 1948, feel sure that this aim has been accomplished in our
Acropolis.
The Acropolis staff is the group of seniors chiefly responsible for the
success of our yearbook. These boys, representing the entire Senior Class
in what they wrote, were selected by the class officers at the beginning
of the school year. They were judged by their writing ability and also
their dependability. The 1948 Acropolis staff began work at once on the
big task of preparing the yearbook. Just a glance through this book
should be sufficient evidence of the fine work that they accomplished.
This year's staff included Daniel Miller, LeRoy Mayer, Richard Gaugh-
an, John Murray, Norman Eckley, Caron Hake, Frank Seiler. Lloyd Diet-
rich, Robert Douglas, Merrill Lynn, Walter Heilman, James Finnegan,
Charles Crawford, and James Hartwell. These members of the staff were
ably supervised by their Editor-in-Chief, Daniel Miller, and also by their
faculty advisers—Messrs. Markley, Stacks, Mincemoyer, Shuler, Stuckey,
and Stable. The printers also did ar, excellent job that is usually merely
taken for granted by the readers. Every one mentioned deserves praise
for his part in making this such a fine yearbook.
We sincerely hope that this Acropolis will in time fulfill its paramount
objective—to bring back to us. as a class, the cherished memories of our
pleasant stay at H. I. S.
Oltoin,
The Choir, under the able leadership of Mr. J. Ross Albert, has pre-
sented us with many fine selections in our Sunday Services during the past
year. Their songs were sung in such a manner that we know the boys had
their hearts in their work.
This organization is composed of boys from sixth to twelfth grades.
The boys in six, seven, and eight make up the soprano and alto sections.
Many of these younger boys are also members of the newly founded
Junior High Chorus. Tenor and bass sections are filled with boys from
higher grades. These boys are also members of the Glee Club.
As members of the Choir, the younger boys receive training that is
necessary and useful to them in their later years when they eventually
move up into the Glee Club. The older boys learn to cultivate a spirit of
friendliness and cooperation that helps them in producing good music.
This cooperation also helps them in their school work and in their lives
after leaving the school.
Many of the boys after leaving the school join college and church choirs
and continue the music careers that had their beginnings in the choir at
our school.
These boys, through their singing, helped to add to the fine musical
record of our school. We are sure that they will continue to produce
superior work and maintain the reputation of the musical organizations
of The Hershey Industrial School.

Last year's graduating class left more vacancies than usual in this
popular organization. However, Mr. Yokum immediately reorganized the
Glee Club and began preparing for the coming year. During the summer
the boys worked hard at their singing, and the new Glee Club began to
take shape. When school started last fall, Mr. Yokum left us to continue
his schooling at Columbia University. He was succeeded by a new, but
very capable director, Mr. J. Ross Albert, under whose direction the Glee
Club continued to improve rapidly.
In addition to rendering splendid music for our own church services,
the Glee Club gave a series of sacred concerts in different churches
throughout Central Pennsylvania. They also sang for other functions in
Hershey and participated in exchange programs.
Once more the high-light of the year was the concert presented in
our nation's capital in March. Again this trip was sponsored by the Bus-
iness and Professional Women's Club of Washington, D. C., Inc., to raise
money to furnish rooms for women interns at the new George Washing-
ton University Hospital.
The Glee Club's busy year was climaxed by the Annual Spring Concert,
which was well done in accordance with H. I. S. tradition.
We, the Class of 1948, are grateful to the members who contributed
so much time and effort to this year’s glee club. To the glee clubs of the
future, we extend our very best wishes.

After tangling with the inevitable problem of getting our band into
shape after last year's seniors left, Mr. Young has produced another
organization for our benefit.
Our band attended and supported all the football games of H. I. S.,
whether they were close by or far away. Their splendid examples of march-
ing formations have instilled in our hearts a sincere pride in this organ-
ization. Dispiie the loss of some important members each year, they have
always done their best to keep team morale high.
Following the standards of musical accomplishment set by Mr. Young,
our band rates high among the school bands in this part of the state.
Each year, under the direction of their able leader, Mr. J. Atlee Young,
the band presents a spring concert in the Community Theatre. This con-
cert includes a variety of stirring music, rendered in a competent and
colorful manner. The concert is composed of novelty numbers, lively
marches, and symphonic compositions.
This year, along with our other musical organizations, the band traveled
to Harrisburg to hear various concerts.
When the present Senior members leave, there will be a large gap
left in the ranks of the band. We feel confident, however, that the
younger boys who are interested in music will make capable replacements
and, under the guidance of Mr. Young, continue to present the quality
of music that meets the high standards of H. I. S.
Although more than half of last year's Spartan Orchestra left our school
with the Class of 1947, we were not surprised to find the replacements,
under the able direction of Mr. Payne, once more doing a fine job. There
were two seniors contributing their talents to the orchestra this year. They
were Wilbur Wagner—a capable veteran at the bass—and Hank Spece,
who did a swell job with the drummer-boy chores.
At the beginning of the school year a few engagements had to be
canceled because of inadequate practice, but when the Spartans made
their debut at the Senior Halloween Dance, there was no doubt that they
had been on the job. Much of the credit for the success of all our senior
dances should go to this exceptionally active organization of our school.
The seniors take this opportunity to express their appreciation to these
boys and their leader for a job well done. The orchestra played for
exchange programs with other schools, at numerous dances in Hershey,
and for some out-of-town engagements.
It should be remembered that getting dressed up and playing at nice
dances isn't all there is to being in the Spartans. The boys spent much
of their spare time in the orchestra room going over old songs and dig-
ging into new ones. Only because the boys were willing to work hard and
to sacrifice much of their free time was it possible for them to develop
another fine H. I. S. dance band which gave us so many hours of pleasure
throughout the year.
The Student Senate is an elective organization which represents the
student body in dealings with the administrative staff. This organization
recommends to the administration all student requests and suggestions
that are considered to be reasonable. The Senate also tries to straighten
out farm-home difficulties and to create good relations with the surround-
ing schools and communities. Another important duty of the Senate
is to select movie night each week for the students.
The Senators are elected directly to the Senate by each farm-home.
At the beginning of the school year it is usually the policy for each farm-
home to elect a new farm-home council. The farm-home also elects a
Senator who represents it and presents its wishes at each Senate meeting.
The Senate meets every other Thursday, on the morning that we have
our school music festival. After each meeting the Senators tell their
respective farm-homes the important problems discussed and then gather
more material for discussion in the next Senate meeting.
The officers of the Senate—Donald Smith, President; George Berryhill,
Vice-President; Harry Hepler, Secretary; and Frank Seiler, Treasurer —
have done a wonderful job this year, and we sincerely thank them for all
they have done for the student body. We also pause to give recognition
to Mr. Benj. F. Olena and Mr. John O. Hershey for the advice and guid-
ance they have given to the Senate throughout the year. They did a fine
job in advising the Senate on important matters.

This is the Junior Class. It is they who are about to have a long-lived
dream realized—the day in June when they will replace the seniors in
school leadership. Their high-school days are numbered, and they will
soon have to venture out on the highways of life as we are about to do.
They are well represented in every extracurricular activity. They have
worked themselves into key positions in the musical organizations of the
school—namely, the Band, the Spartans, the Choir, and the Glee Club.
Two of their most talented musicians are Dale Peiffer and Robert High,
who have been the pianists of the Glee Club for the past two years.
The football squad will have much ability left over from the 1947 squad.
Ray Topper, one of the most outstanding athletes in the history of the
school, should do much to maintain the impressive records the school has
established in the past.
Mr. Gibble should not have to worry about next year's eagers, for he
will have several present junior-class lettermen and many capable junior-
varsity replacements.
Baseball and wrestling are comparatively new sports at H. I. S., but
we feel sure that homeboy vigor and stamina will make our school also
respected on both the diamond and the mat.
As we enumerate their accomplishments and potentialities, we say
they form a very versatile group. We are proud to have them, the Class
of 1949, as our successors.

We, the graduating class, look back with many pleasant memories to
our Sophomore year. That was the year in which we became part of
Senior High and started definite training for our future careers. That
was the year in which we began to take part in the various school activi-
ties. We also started to think a little more seriously about our studies.
Those of us who chose vocational courses found new interests. We were
learning to work with our hands, preparing ourselves for the time when
we would leave school days behind and go out to face the problems of
adult life. Those school days are behind us, but they will not be for-
gotten.
As we look at this year's Sophomore class, we are sure that there is
plenty of real "homeboy spirit" and initiative in the group. They are
well represented in all the various activities of the school, such as Glee
Club, Band, Orchestra, and Scouts, and already some of them have es-
tablished a name for themselves on the athletic teams of the school.
During the next two years there will be, as usual, school leaders de-
veloping from this group, and there are plenty of good, dependable
boys for that purpose. We know that all these boys are looking ahead
to their Junior and Senior years, and finally to graduation.
In closing, we, the Class of 1948, express our confidence in this group.
We wish the Class of 1950 much luck in their remaining years as home-
boys at H. I. S. and as leaders in school life and activities. j

Upon reaching ninth grade the Freshmen knew that they had reached
a crossroad of their school years. The new obligations that confronted
them, principally more advanced studies, were met squarely and whole-
heartedly. They began to realize that they were just starting the upward
climb of life’s ladder. Their best judgement was required in choosing
among the academic, commercial, and vocational courses, not only for
their Sophomore year, but also for what would probably be their life
work. Following the usual custom, a majority of them elected vocational
subjects for their courses of study.
In other phases of high-school life they were as successful as in
scholastic achievement. Freshmen extended their interests in various
musical organizations—the Spartan Orchestra, Band, Glee Club, and
Choir. They proved their worth in athletics by participating in inter-
scholastic jay-vee football, basketball, wrestling, and baseball, and in
intramural sports They claimed a hand in school government as members
of the Student Senate. To these activities they gave valuable assistance
with fine spirit and enthusiasm.
In closing, we, the graduating class, feel that these young men have
made a commendable start in continuing the fine H. I. S. spirit that has
been established by those who went before them. We are confident of
their ability to succeed and to make advantageous use of the great
opportunities in this school.
