              Hershey Changed Beyond
Recognition
Old Residents Return end Look For the Old
Orchard
Mr. and Mrs. Harvey E. Yundt, of
Bushong, Kansas, arrived in Harris-
•>urg on Monday on their way to Derry
'hurch, their former home. At the
. cket office they were informed that
• ickets we're sold to« Hershey which was
not far from the place to which they
desired to go. Upon their arrival at
Hershey,. Mr. and Mrs. Yundt began to
look about for sights that were familiar.
They became bewildered for there was
nothing that resembled anything in the
vicinity of Derry Church.
Near the railroad, to the right, was a
large orchard in the days gone by. Now
the visitors beheld an immense factory
with beautifully decorated grounds.
They looked up the street Tfor the old
*rreirier's school house. This was no-where
in sight. .'Instead, a two-story
limestone school' building met their
:aze. Surely Derry Church was not in
: his neighborhood. Upon inquiry;Athey
were told that their destination really
was close at hand and soon Were with
their friends; ; ~
It is not to be wondered at that one
who has not been in this section for
several, years,'even tho this may be the
scene of his childhood, should become
bewildered at the wonderful changes
that have been wrought. The "rapid
developments in Hershey are a surprise
even to those Hying here, and under
whose very eyes the changes take place.

School Opened on Monday
The opening of school is perhaps the
strongest evidence that the summer
season is nearly gone and that autumn
is rapidly approaching. . Mckinley
school was the scene of much life-and
activity on Monday morning when the
teachers met their pupils for the first
time. Shakespeare tells us of "the
whining school-boy, with his satchel
and shining morning face, creeping like
a snail unwillingly to school." Not so
with the boys and girls of Hershey,
f Plot! George S. Stuart ¦¦¦ ¦ ~s~ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ . "¦.'" ' ¦ ¦¦ ' '-v
judging by the happy looks upon their
faces. They have enjoyed the summer's
rest but are ready for work once more.
Altho all of the books have not yet
arrived, regular work is being done in
all of the departments. The organiza-tion
was entirely completed by Monday
noon. It is a pleasure to his many
friends to welcome again Prof; George
S. Stuart who will serve this year in
the capacity of Supervising Principal.
He will be assisted in the High School
by Principal W. W. Brandt, of Ham-melstown.
