Five Brothers Enrolled at College
Here's a story we almost
missed.
Quite some time ago, one of our
reporters wrote an article on the
names which occurred the most
often in our student directory. h
seems as if the name "Myers" ran
only third in the race, but an
other angle to that family name
was overlooked.
Five members of a York
Springs family named Myers are
now attending the College sim
ultaneously. Four of the group
reside, or at least make their Col
lege quarters, at 402 E. College
avenue. The other lives with his
wife at Windcrest.
