Vol. 3
BANK TELLERS .M r s.
Betty Dunkleberger and Fran-cis
Garman look over one of
the Hershey National Bank's
new business machines for
handling deposits with added
speed, convenience and accu-racy.
Installed and put into use
in the bank recently, the four
machines being used by the
tellers have replaced the age-old
banking system of having
deposits entered in a passbook
by hand. By the use of the
machines, _deposit slips are
printed quickly and accurate-ly,
with records for depositor
and the bank being imprinted

simultaneously during the
operation. One of the biggest
advantages to the bank pa-tron
is the speed of the opera-tion,
cutting down waiting
time at the windows to a min-imum,
even on the busiest
days.
Working mechanically, the
machine prints an accurate
record of the deposit for the
bank and provides the deposi-tor
with a printed receipt.
Leather folders are supplied
for the receipts to constitute
a neat file replacing the old
handwritten bank book.
The simultaneous printing
of the deposits by the new
method means that the cus:-
tomer's record and bank's rec-ord
must be identical, thus
eliminating any chance of a
"slip-up" in making the en-tries.
The teller machine system
is another step in the sweep-ing
modernization program of
the bank.
The devices are manufac-tured
by the National Cash
Register Company, and all
tellers were given a course of
instruction and practiee in
their use before putting them
into service.

Levi Leonard
No. 11
Retired Man Enjoys Life With Family
If living retired becomes a
little boring for Levi Leonard
of 206 East Maple Street,
Palmyra, all he has to do is
to start visiting his grand-children.
There are sixteen of
them.
The Hershey Chocolate
Corporation employee who
retired at the beginning of
the year has made a career of
raising a family, and it ob-viously
has been rewarding.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Leonard
have maintained a youthful
outlook on life through
watching their own ten chil-dren
grew up.
Leonard is a veteran em-ployee
of the Plow Room at
the chocolate plant and his
association with Hershey
dates from February. 15,
1924.
He was born and reared in
the Fishing Creek Valley,
near Marysville, in Perry
County, and learned farming
as a boy. He followed the
farming vocation for a num-ber
of years after reaching
maturity, working on farms
in the Lebanon Valley is a
young man.
Turning to industry, he
was employed for a while at
a textile factory in Annville
before coming to Hershey.
His wife is an Annville na-tive,
the former Miss Carrie
Lebo. The Leonards have
made their home in,,,,Palmyra
since 1933. Their gix- sows
and four daughters all live in
the Lebanon Valley, except
for Ralph and Roy who reside
in North Carolina.
Sons and daughters living
in this area are Earl, Her-shey;
Marlin, Palmyra Route
1; Floyd, Palmyra; Mark,
Palmyra; Mrs. Marion
Brown, Lebanon; Mrs. Lucille
Betz, Palmyra; Mrs. Gladys
Landis, Palmyra Route 1;
and Mae Elizabeth, at home.
Dad Leonard finds a huge
amount of enjoyment in
his big family, and in addi-tion,
he finds much to occupy
his time at his home. He's
busy with "yard work" now
and likes to do the household
chores.
"You can's keep him out of
the kitchen," Mrs. Leonard
said.

Have Roles In State Chorus
Carrying the name of Her-shey
in the All-State School
Chorus Festival at Minersville
today, Friday and Saturday
are two Hershey High School
student-musicians — Arthur
Mentzer, tenor with the Her-shey
High School Chorus, and
Karl Moyer, chorus accom-panist.
Mentzer was selected to
represent Hershey in the All-
State event by virtue of audi-tions
conducted at the South-ern
District Festival held in
February at New Bloomfield,
when 31 students were chosen
for the statewide chorus. No
school is allowed more than
one representative in the All-
State Chorus.
The added honor bestowed
on Hershey was the selection
of Moyer as accompanist for
the All-State Chorus.
Moyer was named to the
accompanist spot by John
Raymond, director of .the
Lafayette College Choir, who
will direct the select student
chorus at Minersville.
Moyer was previously the
accompanist selected for the
District Chorus on the basis
of competitive auditions. At
that time his work won the
acclaim of guest conductor
Arthur Jones of West Chester
State Teachers College.
In the All-State event,
Moyer will also be featured
as organist and will present
several organ recitals prior to
the chorus concerts.
