1957's News Events
Scanned In Review
Going into the new year, it is •a tradition that we give
some thought to the old one just completed.
Digging into the Hershey News files for 1957 has
brought to mind some of the happenings on the local scene.
On looking them over and weighing them, we can report that
Old 1957 was a pretty good year. Many important events
took place, and numerous were the achievements recorded.
To prod our readers' memories, we have compiled a re-view
of some of the year's highlights. It is necessarily a
synopsis and a spot-check .of the news, but should prove in-teresting
as a sort of measure of the year.
