Salute Scholastic
And Sports Ability
High regard for its youth
population has long been
traditional in this community,
and justifiably so. Outstand-ing
accomplishments in many
fields are consistent occur-rence
among the Hershey
area's young people.
In two consecutive weeks,
the Hershey Rotary Club has
recognized some of these
achievements.
Scholastic excellence was
saluted at this week's Rotary
Club luncheon meeting on
Monday when Carl Schiller
and Larry Witmer, Hershey
High School seniors, were
honored for having qualified
in the National Merit Scholar-ship
competition.
Students qualifying in the
challenging test are among
the "upper half of one per
cent" of the nation's five per
cent who are eligible to take
the scholarship test, accord-ing
to George D. Lange, Her-shey
High School principal
who introduced the two sen-iors.

Hershey Hospital
Births Set Mark
Babies — as always — were
popular here in 1957. Only
more so.
The Hershey Hospital re-ported
that a total of 508 of
the little tykes were born
there during the past year,
setting a new record.
Miss Catherine Krasovic.
R.N., of the hospital staff,
pointed out that the 1957
babies outnumbered the pre-vious
record of 503 set in
1953.
Four hundred and eighty-four
arrived at Hershey
Hospital in 1956, and 442
the year before that. So
1957 showed an abrupt in-crease
of 24 over its preced-ing
year, and brought about
an upturn of 66 over the
number born in 1955.
The hospital statistics an-nounced
last Thursday also
showed that the 1957-model
boy babies hold an edge on
the girl babies — 263 to 245.
Busiest month for the Her-shey
Hospital's maternity de-partment
last year was Sep-tember,
when 66 youngsters
arrived to take their places
in , the • bassinets. September's
rush came immediately after
51 babies were born in Au-gust,
second busiest month.
The short month of February
was third in birthday popular-ity,
when 48 births were list-ed.
