OREWORD
With this foreword we are placing the
first charm on our bracelet of memories—the
'59 Choclatier. We have left behind us a busy
sequence of years crammed with hard work
and fun. It is time now to consider our
classes and activities and string them onto a
"charmed" bracelet.
As we of the Senior Class leave Hershey
High School for college, jobs, or the service
of our country, our high school days will
gradually fade into but a hazy memory. It
will be this Choclatier of Charms which will
recall for us those cherished days and friend-
ships.
EUGENE B. HERR, Master of Science
It is with the most sincere wishes of the entire student body,
that we, the staff of the nineteen hundred fifty-nine Choclatier,
dedicate this book to Mr. Eugene Herr.
In his short absence of one year, we have missed not only
Mr. Herr's incalculable contribution to our Science Department,
but also the kindness and sincerity which has gained for him the
respect of every pupil in Hershey High School.
We sincerely hope this tribute will in some manner help
to convey the appreciation of our student body to one so worthy.
Wc are dedicated
Activities
SA!-
Here we see, dangling on the bracelet, the
charms that are symbols of our many activities
we shared in the past. Here we spot a football
and there a baseball representing sports. Scat-
tered 'round and about are musical notes, which
remind us of the music organizations. As the
bracelet turns we spy the Hi-Y and Tri-Hi-Y em-
blems. Now we see charms for the Dramatics
Club, Booster Club, and the cheerleaders. All
these and many more bright charms compose a
bracelet filled with activity for the Hershey High
students.
In charge of athletic finances—Mr. Hovis.
Mr. Brittain iuggles schedules and plans our
athletic program.
Athletic
Association
More commonly known as the A.A.,
this is a very beneficial organization. It
benefits the students by providing re-
duced admissions to sports events. It
benefits the school by providing much of
the sports equipment. This club has been
a part of the school for many years.
Membership is available to every student
at the beginning of the school year. The
A.A. is in the capable hands of Mr. Brit-
tain, with Mr. Hovis as treasurer. This,
another club, adds to the "charm" of
Hershey High.
Going "beyond the line of
duty," Mr. McConnell is on
hand to sell tickets at the bas-
ketball games.

OFFICERS (L. to R.): Eleanor Dieffenbach,secretary; Lynn Skinner, vice-president;

Booster
Club
One of the largest and most beneficial clubs in
our school is the Booster Club, headed by Susie Heller,
president; Lynn Skinner, vice-president; Eleanor Dief-
fenbach, secretary; and Connie Fabian, treasurer, and
advised by Miss Gingrich. The club is composed of
tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grade girls.
It's hard to choose a charm to represent this
club, for it does so much. The club's activities include
decorating for football games and pep rallies, spon-
soring buses to away games, planning pep rallies, and
selling programs at football games.
Something Funny, Joe?

Cheerleaders
ANN ARNOLD BARBARA GRUBER, captain
What would our sports be without our eight
little bomb shells of pep? Our football and bas-
ketball seasons would never have been complete
without them.

Football
The boys on the football team have made our football charm
an important one. Our determined and victory-minded football
squad made this year one to remember. They compiled a 7-2-1
record, holding six of their opponents scoreless. Our only de-
feats came from a spirited Gettysburg eleven and an excellent
Carlisle crew. Sterling performances were registered by seniors
George "Pat" Lauzon, Jim "Rip" Rippon, Ron Wenrich, Jim Bott,
Jay Ebersole, and Karl Hertzler. Underclassmen Jim Price, Karl
Kemble, Gary Ponzoli, George Warner, Scott Miller, and Jim
Santarelli also performed well, giving Hershey High good prospects
for a great season next year, too.
Through the heat of August, the tense days of September,
the decisive days of October and early November, Hershey High's
"dust eaters" practiced. The great determination and spirit of these
boys reflected on the student body-spirit at Hershey was at an
all time high. After being upset by Gettysburg, our spirited team
rebounded by tying a tough Chambersburg team and finishing
the season with two straight victories.

Our charm bracelet would not be complete
without the "Big H," the symbol that honors those
athletes who have competed in our school sports
and earned their letters in varsity competition.
Anyone sporting this letter knows that many
hours of hard practice are needed to keep an
athlete in top condition.
"Hats off" to Mr. Brittain and the members
of the Varsity H, for they have led Hershey High
in sports to another successful year.

Student Council is the mightiest of
all the charms on the bracelet, for it is the
governing body of the students. It exists
for the good of the students.
Everyone is encouraged to voice his
opinion through the Student Council. One
of its main objectives is to try to make
the students feel that this is their council
and each one is a part of it.
The officers of the council are as
follows: David Wagner, president; Rich-
ard Southby, vice-president; Joyce Hess,
secretary; Ann Arnold, treasurer. Mrs.
Gallus is the faculty advisor.

This fall, after electing Terry Garman, president; Jim
Bott, vice-president; and Ruthann Donmoyer and Lois
Black, secretaries, the senior high school chorus began
practicing for its Christmas concert.
The chorus, directed by Ellwyn Spangler, presented
a rather unusual Christmas program. Accompanied by
the well-known concert harpist, Marie Naugle, the chorus
sang Benjamin Britten's "A Ceremony of Carols," a group
of Anglo-Saxon and Latin choral arrangements.
After Christmas the chorus tackled a new repertoire
for its scheduled engagements. This included an appear-
ance on WHP-TV, a trip to Philadelphia to sing for the
State School Directors' Conference and the annual forensics
competition.

Orchestra
No charm bracelet would be complete without a musical
instrument, and ours is no exception. A fifty member orchestra
under the capable direction of Miss Jane Emel is just made to
order. The well-developed string section blends with the choice
brass, woodwinds, and percussion to produce music ranging from
Bach to popular show songs. The orchestra adds enjoyment to
the class plays, Christmas and spring festivals, and commence-
ment ceremonies.
Because of the success of last year's spring tour, the orchestra
planned a bigger and better one for this spring. The tour in-
cluded concerts in Mill Hall, Jersey Shore, State College, and
adjoining University Park.

"Fingers" Foust follows through on a shot.
Although they weren't hampered by
illness, injuries, or determination, the bas-
ketball team found every other disadvan-
tage in their path—lack of height, lack of
speed, and lack of shooting power, to
name a few. Nevertheless, the dismal
season, statistic-wise, cannot be consid-
ered a complete failure. Many boys
gained valuable experience while every-
one learned the difficult art of bearing
defeat "like a man." Led by seniors,
Jim Rippon, Jim Kling, and Wayne Foust,
and juniors Ken Snyder, Jim Price, Scott
Miller, Jim Horst, and Bob Sinclair, the
courtsmen fought their way through a
rugged schedule bearing defeat, but
with an excellent show of Hershey sports-
manship.
Broadcaster
One of the big charms in our bracelet is our
own newspaper, the Broadcaster, which is ad-
vised by Mr. Chestnut. The paper prints inter-
esting articles about our many school activities,
as well as personal views of the students. It is
also a valuable experience for those planning to
study journalism.

Under the guidance of Miss Hajjar,
the Dramatics Club forms one of the most
interesting charms on our bracelet.
This group carried out many varied
plans this year. The members had a
chance to learn acting as well as other
phases of dramatics. Included in their
activities were the assembly program
they staged and a Valentine Dance.

Future Farmers
Fourth Row (L. to R.): D. Priest, J. Bivens, H. Wise, G. Shope, G. Fureman, M. Seaman,

Enson, J. Kopp. First Row: L. Brandt, J. Shaub, K. Matter, A. Brajkovich, G. Webb, G.
Eshelman, G. Brandt.
The Future Farmers of Amer-
ica, a club for the "Aggie" boys,
was capably led this ‘year by Mr.
Dugan, faculty advisor; Galen
Eshlemen, president; Glenn
Brandt, vice-president; Kenneth
Matter, secretary; Larry Brandt,
treasurer; John Shaub, reporter;
Andy Brajkovich, sentinel; Arthur
Hoffman, conductor; and George
Webb, chaplain.
The club, this year, took
part in the judging at the Gratz
Fair. There was also a float made
by the boys of this active organi-
zation in the Halloween Parade.
For a boy to be able to
enter the F.F.A. he must have
some type of an agriculture proj-
ect. There is a formal initiation
that a boy must go through, and
the Creed and Motto of the F.F.A.
must be known.
Boy Scouts
Standing (L. to R.|: R. Neidig, D. Wood, H. Varon, B. Light; Mr. Kuhn, troop leader.
Seated: A. Price, S. Maskarine, R. Wise, N. Jones.
Boy Scout Troop 67 is under
the capable leadership of Mr.
Kuhn. There is also a troop ad-
visory committee consisting of
six members that advises the
troop leaders.
The troop has a membership
of twelve boys and they have a
meeting each week and an outing
once a month. Each year they
set a goal they wish to accom-
plish during that year. This year
their goal is to follow the Ap-
palachian Trail from Indiantown
Gap to the Susquehanna River
and if possible as far as the
Mason and Dixon line.
Hiking on the Horseshoe
Trail, bike riding in the surround-
ing area, building bird shelters,
and assisting with flag cere-
monies at home football games
are a few of their projects.
Sketch Club
In addition to reading, writ-
ing, and arithmetic, a touch of
the fine arts must enter our school
life. Sketch Club, with Mr. Tylden
as director, is one of Hershey
High's contributions Io this de-
partment. The club is rather
unique, for it has no officers,
dues, ‘projects, dances, or list of
qualifications for membership.
However, there is one stipula-
tion: a prospective member must
be interested enough in art to
spend one activity period a week
sketching. No assignments are
given at the meeting; the mem-
bers simply sketch anything they
wish—from still life to scenery.
Sketching for the love of it
and perhaps uncovering some
hidden talents in art are the sole
purposes of the club. Who
knows, we might find another
Norman Rockwell or John Whit-
comb in our midst!

Library Assistants
Our library assistants, under
the direction of Miss Ward, pro-
vide us with an efficiently run
library. Miss Ward has been our
school librarian for many years.
Through experience she has
found that the permit system pro-
vides the order and system
needed to run a library well.
The library assistants are
students who wish to give their
time to help with the checking
of permits and books. If any
student is interested in becoming
a librarian, he may begin right
here. By learning how to use the
card catalog, the Dewey Decimal
System, and the library in gen-
eral, he will be able to work in
a larger library.
Everyone appreciates the
Hershey High School library and
feels privileged to have it as a
part of the school.

Noon
Service
In every charm bracelet there must
be an organization which maintains law
and order in the halls and in the cafeteria
lines. Our school has the Noon Service
Club, which is under the supervision of
Mr. Lee McConnell. During the year the
club also raises money in order to take
its annual trip.
Our club is headed by president,
Jim Bott, and secretary-treasurer, Pat
Lauzon.
(L. to R.): Mr. Sopko, advisor; Irma Zimmerman, president; Margie Yost, vice-
president; Linda Gibson, secretary; Janet Nornhold, treasurer.
Business
Education
The Business Education Club, under
the leadership of Mr. Sopko, adds the
Commercial charm to our school bracelet.
Prying into every possible business aspect
through speakers and films attracts stu-
dents of the Commercial Department.
President Irma Zimmerman presides at
the meetings, assisted by Margie Yost,
vice-president; Linda Gibson, secretary;
and Janet Nornhold, treasurer.
Each member eagerly awaits the
spring assembly which the club gives for
the enjoyment of the other students.

Exchange Club
As the dollars mounted from the many
worthwhile projects sponsored by the Exchange
Club, the link between Hershey and Martinsville
grew closer. Trying to get the seemingly endless
number of coat hangers counted and cars washed
was part of the job, but the reward for this labor
far exceeded the actual work.
All of the Exchange Students agreed that
this experience was not only very enjoyable but
also educational.
This Chinese puzzle represents an exchange trip
to Martinsville.

Holding a definite charm for the females of
our school are the muscular men of the wrestling
team. Always a power in the league, our wrest-
lers made this year no exception. Hard work,
week-end practices, and a great determination
were the key factors in the success of these mats-
men. Wrestling is mostly an individualistic sport,
and several individuals were outstanding. Karl
Kemble, Don Shifflett, and Mike Williams came
through summa cum laude, with many others
compiling impressive, winning seasons. Compe-
tition was tough even within the team, for many
good wrestlers even failed to make the first

The "splish-splashers" of Hershey came
through in fine style. Only a shortage of man-
power stopped the squad from championship
possibilities. Led by superlative performances
from Bob Santerelli, Pat Lauzon, Dino Pellegrini,
and Don Fenstermacher, Hershey was a constant
threat, losing several times only because of a
lock of swimming power for the last relay race.
Looking to the future, a club swimming team
composed of promising elementary and junior
high swimmers has been formed, giving the
school a great potential in future years, with that
possibility of overcoming York's constant mono-
poly of area swimming. Charming, isn't it!

Although the girls' intramural sports program is not too well
known by everyone in the school, it is, nevertheless, important to
the girls who participate. The program includes basketball in
junior high school and basketball, volleyball, and hockey in senior
high school. The games are scheduled by Miss Snyder and Miss
Gingrich and are refereed by members of the Girls' Athletic
Council. The different games are played after school and the
series is ended by spectacular play-offs. Most of the girls par-
ticipate because of the good sportsmanship and team work in-
volved rather than for the importance of winning a game. The
competitive spirit, of course, still prevails, but not to extremes.
The teams are organized individually by a captain who is re-
sponsible for her team's behavior at the games. Each team aver-
ages about five games per season.
Although girls' intramural sports are not essential to the
school life, the benefits are very apparent. These sports not only
offer the female side of our student body a chance to develop
physically, but they also form pleasant memories and experiences
for everyone who participates. Girls' intramural sports—certainly
a show of charm for our bracelet.

All good charm bracelets must have room for
future charms. Our future charms are our junior
high. The junior high students are preparing for their
posterity by doing well the tasks assigned to them.
They ably fill posts in the junior high Student
Council. The officers are president, Thomas Sitler;
vice-president, Albert Pera; secretary, Kathy Hershey;
and treasurer, Ricky Smith. The junior high cheer-
leaders, led by Peggy Evans cheer the junior high and
junior varsity football and basketball teams to victory.
The junior high Tri-Hi-Y is doing its best under Judith

That's a pretty sneaky way to hide your
notes for the science program, Charlie!
Because of the many different programs we've had this year,
we could choose many charms to represent our assemblies. For
one of our first assemblies this year, we saw a film in recognition
of Fire Prevention Week. Later, at Thanksgiving and Christmas
time, two local ministers spoke.
One of the highest spots of our assemblies this year was the
humorous skit presented by the physics seminar students to stimu-
late interest in space explorations.
The Student Council sponsored the annual Talent Show,
which was very successful with the many different acts. Each
one of the participants in the Carrie M. Lady speaking contest gave
an excellent performance. Another interesting contest was the
Spelling Bee in which some of our best spellers battled it out until
Francis Elmi emerged as the winner of senior high group.
A variety of well-presented programs plus courteous, attentive
audiences resulted in a year of successful assemblies.

A close heat.
Track
With the advent of spring, those unfortunates who must
stay after school will probably note a heterogeneous bunch of
long-legged runners on the play-ground. As one stands on the
pavement, Backenstose streaks by followed by a puffing Way-
bright. Then the main body of runners appears, featuring Lauzon,
Rippon, Hollinger, and Vaughn of the Senior Class. Although they
won't threaten Herb Elliot's record, our boys always give it all
they have and perform to capacity. Yes, we can be proud of our
track team.

by seniors Wayne Foust, Jim Bott, Jim Warfield,
Terry Garman, Ron Wenrich, Gary Hinebaugh, and
Ron Morgan, and underclassmen Jim Price and
Ken Snyder, our boys did not fail to produce a
predicted good season. Congratulations for our
success should go to the players, for many have
played baseball since third grade.

Tennis
Although one of the "minor sports," Coach Bob Young's
tennis team certainly deserves a major charm on our charm
bracelet. Their consistently good record deserves merit. Paced
by an excellent 9-2 record of last year, the "racket boys" came
through again, led by seniors Carl Lehman, Donald Fenster-
macher, and Howard Stauffer, and underclassmen Woody
Bobb and Richard Curry. Several energetic junior high players
give the team promise of successful seasons in years to come.

Golf
Is this the reason for our golf team's
success?
Last year, the golf team charmed
everyone by winning the Central Penn
League Championship. While compiling
an impressive record of 13 wins and 1
loss, the Trojan linksmen downed Lan-
caster and New Oxford in playoff matches
for the title. Dino Pellegrini, an outstand-
ing golfer since his freshman year, also
won the District 3 individual champion-
ship—a feat which no Trojan golfer has
accomplished since 1948. With returning
senior lettermen Dino Pellegrini, Larry
Wise, and Paul Hummer and junior Jim
Horst, coach Jack Beck is confident of
equaling or bettering last year's fine
record.

This year's Sophomore Class is undoubtedly one of the finest in the history
of our school.
Two charms our Sophomore Class adds to the bracelet of school activities are
"Buzz" Cash and Pat Keefer for their leadership.
An important link in the Charm Bracelet is the Class's support of and partici-
pation in Hershey High activities. We are well represented at football games and
other social and athletic events. Also, many class members are musicians and
athletes, including J.V. Football squad men.
To summarize, our Class has added the necessary links to the Charm Bracelet.

Naturally, the most important charm on the bracelet is the Senior Class. But
what's the next most important charm? Why, the Junior Class, of course. And this
year's Juniors are filling a lot of important jobs.
In football, whom do you hear more about than our capable Junior quarter-
back, Jim Price? There are five Junior boys in the starting lineup. When these boys
were in ninth grade the junior high football team was undefeated.
This year a junior section is taking fusion math, a combination of algebra II
and trigonometry.
Juniors are filling many important offices. Among these are the vice-presi-
dency of the Student Council, vice-presidency of the Booster Club, editorship of the
Broadcaster, and many more.
The Class of "60" is truly a leader in Hershey High society.

Class
Council
The Class of 1959 has in the past shown promise of being
one of the best in Hershey High. It has now fulfilled that promise
and has shown all the qualities of a wonderful and "charming"
class. Its almost three hundred members are youth that we can
most certainly be proud of. They have taken hold in every sport
and excelled beyond expectation. They have worked their way
into providing our school with an excellent orchestra and chorus,
and a superior boys' quartet. Our actors and actresses are many,
as was seen in our three Senior plays.
Our Senior Class Council represents us with our ideas at
council meetings. The versatile president, Jim Bott, ably directs
the council, aided by Bill Brajkovich, vice-president; Pat Linderman,
secretary; and Janet Nornhold, treasurer. Miss Snyder has capably
advised the class council.

Class History
The year 1945 was the first link in the historic charm bracelet of the 59'ers.
Kindergarten ’developed a quality of competition as we fought over the tricycles,
blocks, and crayons. This healthy spirit of competition is typical of the class.
•The thrill of learning to read was the outstanding adventure of first grade.
Some of us can still remember the heart breaking tears of our second grade teacher,
Miss Copp. Little Brownie and Cub Scout uniformed students enjoyed those extra
long recesses when the teachers got into endless conversations on the play-
ground. Do you remember the pictures we drew for those "Birthday Books" and
the music festivals at the Community Theatre?
By the time we had reached fifth grade our teachers considered us mature
enough to venture forth on some real excursions. We traveled the long distance
to Stone Harbor, the Reading Museum, and Roadside America. "Graduation" from
grade school was highlighted by certificates of writing ability, and the patrol boys
were hailed for their outstanding service.
Junior high school days recall many happy memories. Mr. Young's and Miss
Snyder's dancing lessons in gym class were climaxed by the "seventh grade dance."
The girls' sewing-bags and cotton skirts made in home ec. class far excelled the
door stops and pump lamps made by the male members of the class in their
industrial arts lessons. As a matter of fact, the boys had a little trouble taking
school seriously in those days. When Mr. Hanshue was late one day for science
class, they decided to see if they could invent some new survival methods in case
of fire. Jumping out of the windows landed them right in Dr. Jacques' office.
The class gave Mr. Fornwalt a good-bye party and sincerely wished him the
best of luck at his new job.
Mr. Beck didn't exactly appreciate our class the time we gathered all our
algebra books and deposited them in the waste can, right before Christmas vaca-
tion. Meanwhile, Mr. Frock asked, "What's your opinion?"
Why did Mr. Wren leave after only one year of trying to teach Latin to our
class?
Our junior high football team chalked up quite a tremendous record in 1955.
This was the year we received welcome additions to our class from out-lying dis-
tricts, and we held our first prom, that dreamy "Freshman Prom."
When we entered senior high school, we were greeted by two new cafe-
terias serving deliciously (?) different foods. The horribly shocking experience of
writing essays also cheered us on.
The trip to the "green tree" and the farm show proved quite educational for
some. Mr. Hovis introduced us to his famous "opportunity days" which we all
learned to relish. Can you remember those perfectly timed fire drills that hit in
the middle of a nice test?
68
Is that bread for you or the ducks, Judy?
Moments to remember.
"Goof Heavens! A new kind of sled?
You clowns!
The opening of the Canteen ushered in a whole new world of entertainment.
Speaking of entertainment, "Skip" Waybright proved to be quite a fisherman
when hypnotized.
Mr. McConnell's final and Mr. Muench's scholarly historians were the talk of
the sophomore class.
Two Exchange Clubs, one to Brentwood and the other to Martinsville, helped
to broaden our horizons.
Of course everything wasn't a bed of roses. The fire in the chemistry lab's
waste can had an explosive reaction, didn't it, Elaine? And there was that fire
in the sawdust room to warm up the carpenters.
Our school history closed with the unforgettable Senior Prom. The memories
of this and many other experiences form charms for a bracelet linked by the years
it represents.

Without the efforts of the Choclatier staff
there would be no bracelet for our charms. Con-
sequently, the staff is a very essential charm in
our bracelet because it determines the success of
the Choclatier. Talent, imagination, and initiative
are characteristics possessed by this year's staff
Four juniors and two sophomores complete the
senior staff.
Through soliciting patrons, the expenses of
the yearbook are covered.
Many long, tedious hours are spent to pub-
lish a book that everyone can be proud of. Plan-
ning and more planning goes into producing a
yearbook that is an incomparable keepsake. Ex-
perienced Miss Bartels directs the staff, so that
the final result is work nothing less than the best.
Ready for the "take."

Senior Play
Every charm bracelet must have some en-
tertainment. Ours has the senior class play. This
year we did something a little different. Instead
of having one three-act play, as was done in
previous years, we presented three one-act plays.
The first play was "Nobody Sleeps," a
comedy about a burglar, portrayed by Gary Hine-
baugh, and his many hilarious experiences with
the Busby family.
"The Valiant"
(L. to R.|: S. Smith, G. Hinebaugh, R. Meyer, B. Charles, J.
Geyer, P. Linderman.
"The Lottery"
Standing (L. to R.): L. Lange, F. Girvin, I. Zimmerman, H. Stauffer, W. Goodman, R. Meyer, S. Smith.
D. Fenstcrmacher, J. Herring, D. Straub, D. Wagner, V. Ax. Kneeling: J. Geyer, B. Gruber, D. Bikie.
The second of our plays was titled "The
Lottery," a drama about superstitious people who
believe in lotteries, and what happened when
Tessie Hutchison, played by Alma Arey, was
condemned to die by her own husband and her
friends.
Our third presentation was called "The
Valiant," a drama concerning a prisoner in a state
penitentiary, who keeps his identity from every-
one for reasons unknown.
All three of our plays, which were presented on
December 4th and 5th, were under the capable
direction of Miss Josephine Hajjar.

SENIOR PROM
It's the loveliest night of the year—April third. Now it is
only memories, but what memories! Remember Wayne Foust with
his huge cigar? Can you ever forget Francis Elmi trying to jitter-
bug? Who were those rowdies that ate cold pizza and sang
"Onward Christian Soldiers" at 6:00 A. M. in the Rose Garden?
And who had the bowling alley tied up all night? Jim, when
you write a menu should it be "sause" or "sauce"? "But I
couldn't even find that fingerbowl after all those lessons!"
These are things which happen only once in a lifetime—the
night of the fabulous Senior Dinner-Dance at the Hotel Hershey.
Our Senior Prom was certainly the climax of our social life at
Hershey High, forming an important charm on our bracelet of
memories which will long be remembered by every senior.
114
"Worthy to graduate or not worthy io graduate" was the theme of our class
day program. With Jimmy Geyer as Judge, Sam Rissmiller as Bailiff, Bill Goodman,
lawyer for the prosecution, and Luke Kaufman, lawyer for the defense, how could
this be anything but a real smash? It surely was a tremendous success. The
underclassmen and teachers were in stitches. What really made the program
one to be remembered was the participation of a// the branches of the school.
Mr. Harper, better known as Francis Elmi, was a great hit as he stood on trial
impersonating a few "unmentionables." Miss Stage-struck, Patty Day, had the
audience bursting at the seams with the flinging of her arms and her husky
"dahling!" After all was laughed and laughed, the "worthy to graduate" verdict
was happily received by the rowdy class of '59. We think Mr. Long, advisor and
director of class day, is still a bit dubious about the decision. As the program
closed with the Alma Mater and the presentation of awards to qualified students
and a yearbook to Mr. Herr, our dear friend, many shiny eyes could be seen.
Class day was perhaps the beginning of our realization that we're going to miss
Hershey High pretty much!

COMMENCEMENT

Our forceful commencement speaker,
Reverend Aurance F. Shank, challenging
the senior; with a "Command Decision."
The orchestra is heard playing the familiar notes of “Pomp
and Circumstance," lhe traditional processional march. The
graduates march down the aisle slowly and solemnly. Each step
brings each one closer to realizing that this is the last time they
will be assembled together with all their old classmates.
Our student speakers, Elaine Kalenevitch, Irma Zimmerman
