SCHOOL'S OUT, and students of the Intermediate Division of the Milton Hershey School head for
waiting station wagons on the east playground of the school. The new wagons were purchased to
provide the students with a fuller realization of family living. It is a standard station wagon body
lengthened, so that it may provide room for 14 boys. The 1962 model Chevrolet is equipped with
power steering, power brakes and three speed transmission. Housefathers drive the station wag-ons
which are used for riding to school, church and other community and school activities.
New Station Wagons Provide Students Of MHS
With Fuller Realization Of Family Life
Students of the Woodland Home
Cluster are riding to school, church
and other community and school
activities in 1962 Chevrolet station-wagons.
"This change in transportation for
boys brings to a fuller realization
the family organization of homelife
created here," Dr. John 0. Hershey,
school superintendent, points out.
Each stationwagon, similar to a
family car, is equipped with power
steering, power brakes, three-speed
ttansmission, and a 250 horsepower
V-8 engine.
The standard stationwagon body is
lengthened so that 14 boys may be
accommodated. Interior decor is
color-keyed to the variety of exter-ior
colors. The fourth and fifth seats
fold flush with the floor to allow
space for transportation of the
meals, which are cooked in the cent-ral
kitchen at the Supply Center.
One stationwagon has a luggage
rack mounted on the roof, making
it possible for the vehicle to be
used on overnight trips such as the
recent Buck Hill Falls conference
attended by seven MHS students.
Nelson Durand, director of the
Intermediate Division, is responsible
for the driver training of the house-fathers
who will drive the station-wagons.
The houseparents have al-ready
received the behind-the-wheel
driving training from Mr. Durand.
Final inspection was given by Al-fred
T. Gibble, Director of the Staff
Home Division. This final check out
included not only driving skills but
also a knowledge of safety proced-ures
and school policy regarding
use of the vehicles.

By Rev. Ira 0. Reed
President of Hershey Ministerium
It was very early on the morning
of the first Easter Day. The friends
and followers of Jesus were in no
mood of expectation. On the con-trary,
the hours following the cru-cifixion
had been spent in deep dis-appointment
and gloom.
The early morning visit to the
tomb by Mary Magdalene and the
other women was to honor a loved
one who was dead. Their Master,
whom they had followed in love,
was no more. His work was finished.
They must prepare themselves to
live their lives without Him from
now on.
Upon arriving at the tomb, their
grief was deepened. They were to be
denied this one last act of love and
devotion. For the stone had been roll-ed
away and the tomb was silent and
empty.
But something had happened!
Death had burst its bonds; the light
of angels had displaced the darkness
of the tomb, and the doors to eternal
life had been thrown wide open.
A voice spoke out of the dusk of
that early morning. "Woman, why
are you weeping? Whom do you
seek?" Supposing Him to be the gar-dener,
she said to Hint, "Sir, if
you have carried Him away, tell me
where you have laid Him, and I
will take Him away." Jesus said to
her, "Mary." Mary, one word, and
she knew. That was enough. She
fell at his feet crying.
Easter is upon us again with all
its promises and hopes. That same
voice speaks out to all of us, to our
hearts, saying, "Whom do you
seek?" This is Easter, with those
who are griefstricken, with those
whose hopes have fled, with those
courage has gone, we shall, with
Mary, fall at the feet of our Risen
Lord and proclaim Him "Master",
"King of Kings" and "Lord of
Lords." This is Easter, The Day Of
Resurrection.
