Vol. 8 HERSHEY, PENNSYLVANIA, MARCH 17, 1960 No. 6
WHEN THE MARINES and Seebees combined in capturing and
Installing an airstrip on Bougainville during World War II, the late
Admiral Wm. F. "Bull" lizisey messaged: "Neither Bull Nor Dozing
On Bougainville." And so it is as Speedco's Roy Summers bulldozes
the rocks and concrete chunks, following a hefty blast, from the site
of the new Turnpike Ride's tunnel in Hershey Park.
FLAGS at the Derrylirownshin Court of ILmor are displayed
365 days of the year, come fair weather or foul. Memories of the World
War H Battle of the Bulge and the bitter wintry days of the Korean
Conflict certainly can be reflected by this cold, blowy March 4, 1960,
scene at the Community Building.

Symphony Band will present a con-cert
on Friday, April 1, at 8:00 p.m.
in the Milton Hershey School Audi-torium.
Prices are $1.50 for adults; $1.00
for students.
Composed of 70 men and 35
women, the Symphony Band is
known throughout the nation as one
of the outstanding organizations of
its kind. The late Dr. Edwin
Franko Goldman was quoted as
saying, "The University of Michi-gan
Band stands without peer
among college bands."
The band has twice been chosen
as the subject of a feature article
in LIFE Magazine, and has ap-peared
on the "Dave Garroway
Show" and the "Home Show" on
TV.
The Symphony Band members
acquire a vast knowledge of band
literature and increase their reper-toirees
immensely by performing
many of the worthwhile new works
which have just been published,
as well as many selections which
are still in manuscript form.
The Band frequently has the
privilege of premiering new works
under the direction of the com-posers
themselves.
This will be the band's only ap-pearance
in this area since 1951.
They were in phliedelphia last
night, and wili , bp in L4kevrood.

JUST A MEMORY. Photog Bob Warrington and his Leica cap-tured
the Friday, March 3rd, morning beauty of the famous Hershey
Cocoa sign at the east end of Hershey Chocolate Corporation's
Plant. The 10-inch snowfall resulted in a work interruption on the
new 350-car parking facility being installed on the former Nos. 1
1 and 2 holes of Hershey Country Club.
A_ MORAL VICTORY
Underdogs anywhere from 15 to
20 points in pre-game predictions.
Hershey High's never-say-die Tro-jans
battled York's highly-rated
Bearcats all the way before drop-ping
a 72-76. verdict in the Farm
Show Arena ilast Saturday night..
When the final score was an-nounced
at the Sports Arena, vet-eran
sportswriters covering the
hockey game immediately tabbed
the outcome "A Moral Victory."
That the new Capital Area Con-ference
champions- can give the
well established Central Pennsyl-vania
Conference champs a run for
their money was aptly estab-lished.
Congratulations to the Hershey
squad and coach John Hanshue.
