Marching Club Honors
School Football Team
Two Seniors who have end-ed
their Hershey High School
football careers received tro-phies
Monday night from the
Marching Club of the Hershey
Fire Company after being
voted "the most valuable play-ers"
by their teammates.
The awards were given to
quarterback Ben Klingler,
son of Mr. and Mrs. Martin
Klingler of 27 W. Derry
Road, and fullback Frank
Capitani, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Salvatore Capitani, 63
W. Granada Avenue.
Making the presentation at
the Marching Club's annual
banquet for the Hershey High
School gridders at the fire hall
was W. Allen Hammond, prin-cipal'
of the Milton Hershey
High School, who served as
master of ceremonies at the
affair. Students who were

e i g h t cheerleaders and a
representative of the school's
Booster Club.
Other guests were coaches
and faculty members of Her-shey

School and the Derry Town-ship
school directors.
Principal speaker at the
dinner was W. W. "Tiny"
Parry, sports editor of the
Lebanon Daily News, who
spoke of the importance and
the growth of athletic pro-grams
as he observed them in
his more than thirty years of
writing about and participat-ing
in sports.
Parry congratulated the
players and their 'coaches on
their second consecutive year
in the championship bracket
and urged the younger play-ers
to strive to emulate this
year's undefeated squad. .
The newspaperman also
revealed the selection of
Klingler as All-State quar-terback
which was the re-sult
of a poll of United Press
sportswriters over the state.
Klinger's place on the All-
State eleven was not an-nounced
officially until
Tuesday.
Speaking briefly at the ban-quet
was head coach Ed Forn-wait
who expressed the appre-ciation
of the team for the
honor rendered them by the
Marching Club and for the co-operation
extended during the
year by the school board and
administrators, the assistant
coaches and cheerleaders
"who all helped to make it a
successful season."
The invocation was given
by Rev.. W. Sheldon Blair,
pastor of Derry Pregbyterian
Church, and brief remarks
were presented by Paul Hum-mer,
president of the March-ing
Club.
The committee arranging
the affair included Robert
Raffensberger, Felton Eber-sole,
Fred Dudley and Camille
Gaspari. Preparing and serv-ing
the dinner were the ladies
of the fire company.
