ALUMNI ASSOCIATION/SHS BOOSTERS GOLF TOURNAMENT PLANNED
The Susquehannock All Sports Booster Club and the Susquehannock Alumni Association are co-sponsoring a celebrity golf tournament on Friday, May 17, 2013 at Hickory Heights Golf Course, in Spring Grove. Highlighting the event will be a host of celebrities, awards, door prizes, and an opportunity to play one of York County’s most challenging and well maintained courses. A silent auction for unique sports memorabilia and other items and services is also a part of the day.
All proceeds of this benefit will be used to help fund a scholarship for one senior student athlete for each varsity sport at Susquehannock High School (24 scholarships in all) and Alumni Association programs, including continued work on the Susquehannock High School Alumni Field House.
Registration is limited to 128 players (32 foursomes). The tournament begins at 9:30 a.m. The cost is $85.00 per person or $340.00 per foursome. The cost also includes a continental breakfast and hot luncheon. For more information, contact Chuck Abbott,
Susquehannock High School Athletic Director, 717-235-4811, ext. 4240, or by email, [email protected] For a registration form, click here. Hole sponsorships are also available. For information about sponsoring a hole, click here.
The Tournament has become a fixture in the school’s social calendar and in its history has raised in excess of $65,000 for alumni and booster programs. Started by alumni Randy and Duke Edsall, the popular celebrity format gives each foursome the opportunity to golf and socialize with a range of local sports figures.
Through the years, event design has been refined to speed-up play and increase participant comfort and enjoyment.
This is the perfect opportunity to spend an enjoyable day off with good friends. The day will begin with a continental breakfast and include snacks throughout the day and conclude with a luncheon at the Hickory Heights pavilion, hosted by SHS alumnus and course owner, Lynn Synder, ‘76.
The winning foursome from last year’s tournament: Skip James; Bobby Stiffler; Antonio Prezioso, and
Adam Grove.

ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT – DEBRA MARKLE ‘71
A standard alumnus interview question is about “the best memory of your time at Susquehannock.” For Debra Boyer Markle, a proud member of the Class of 1971, it was a struggle.
“They were all good memories,” she said. “I knew everyone in my class and liked them all. They’re still among my best friends. Every one of my teachers had a positive influence on my life. I carry my Susquehannock memories with me every day.”
When pressed, she recalls the English Department as having a special influence. “Miss Adams, Miss Clark, and Mr. Sullivan all had rigorous reading and writing programs,” she recalls. “I remember reading 110 literary works and books in my high school career – everything from Shakespeare to Steinbeck.”
Debra was busy outside the classroom also. She played field hockey in 9th and 10th grade and was in chorus all through high school. In her senior year, she was one of the Calumet (yearbook) photographers.
Under the direction of Mr. Ruth and Miss Crumrine, Debra also enjoyed theatrics and remembers the junior and senior plays in which she had roles: If a Man Answers and Incognito. Her flair for the dramatic was also evident in her role as the Native American Princess – the Warrior mascot at football games – complete with a black snake draped around her neck.
After graduation, she attended the Barbizon School of Modeling, and then York College to study marketing, retailing, and merchandising. During that time, she married and began to raise a family of two daughters.
In 1979, she was in a position to enter the work force and put her creativity to use in the interior design field, working for a lighting and bath design firm in New Oxford. She held this position for 26 years.
Then in 2006, at a time in her life when most people plan downsizing to retirement mode, Debra took the bold step of buying her own business – Furs by Susan – in Hanover.
“It wasn’t something I really planned,” she explains. “I was in the store one day and the owner said she was retiring. She asked me if I
wanted to buy the business and I said ‘Why not?’ I thought I could do it. Design is design.”
As with everything in her life, Debra threw herself into the Hanover business community with passion. She is involved with the committees for “Saturdays on Main,” “Hanover Dutch Days,” and “United Cerebral Palsy” to promote the downtown area. This activity is typical of her drive to be a leader and servant in the community.
Through the years, she has or is currently involved in: the Hanover Area Historical Society, where she writes articles for the newsletter, is
a board member, a docent for the society’s 1783 Georgian Mansion, and chairs the Tours Committee for members and guests to Mid-Atlantic historical and cultural events; Trinity U.C.C. in Hanover, where she served as Youth Advisor, President of Women of Trinity and remains on the board; New Oxford Chamber of Commerce, where she was Treasurer and Vice-President; New Oxford Antique Market and Craft Show, which she chaired; Master Gardening Program of the Adams County Extension of Penn State University; Glen Rock Historical Society; Hanover Historical Society; Hanover Symphony Orchestra, where she serves on the Board of Directors; York County Builders Association chair for the Parade of Homes Gala; at the YWCA Hanover, she serves on the nominating and advisory board.
Debra's love of literature (instilled from her Susquehannock days) prompted her to become a certified literacy tutor for the Adams County Literacy program.
She enjoys gardening, restoring her pre-civil war farm, and attending symphonic orchestral and operatic performance. She always looks forward to Christmas Eve with the Glen Rock Carolers.
Thank you Debra (Boyer) Markle, Class of 1971, for making us Warrior Proud.

WARRIOR GIRLS BASKETBALL MAKES CLASSIC YEAR-END RUN
“I thought we were a year away,” Athletic Director Chuck Abbott said of the junior-laden girls’ basketball team. “But we got hot at the right time. And so, the 2012-13 lady Warriors, who did not qualify for the York County tournament, went all the way to the District III AAA final, beating the top seed Lancaster Catholic along the way. They ended the tournament with a silver medal and qualified for the PIAA tournament, drawing mighty Lancaster Catholic in the first round. Although leading most of the game, Catholic made a run at the end of regulation and tied, finishing the Warriors Cinderella season in double overtime. But the evident truth of the season was summarized in Mr. Abbott’s final remarks,
“We’ll be back!”
KING OF HEARTS TRADITION CONTINUES
A significant part of Susquehannock student life is based on tradition, and the King of Hearts food drive is one of its oldest.
In February, several Susquehannock High School senior boys competed for the title of King of Hearts by collecting nonperishable foods and monetary donations. During this year’s competition, the contestants collected several boxes of food, $1,723.00 in monetary donations, and several gift cards. These items were donated to Southern Community Services.
During the competition, high school students voted for their favorite candidates by placing nonperishable goods
in each of the competitor’s decorated box in the high school lobby. Depending on the size of the food item, point values were assigned. The candidate who received the most points through the donations won the competition. Students could also pay for a portion of their dance admission through food donations.
Participating students were: Corey Boyd, Mike Costa, Tim Frey, Sean Kaliszak (Second Runner-up), Chandler Larkin, Robby Pugaxzewski (King), Austin Turner, Kyle Vecere (First Runner-up), Lee Viado, and Alex Zappardino.
Ellie Lesko Named National Merit Scholarship Finalist
Susquehannock High School senior Ellie Lesko was recently recognized as a National Merit Scholarship finalist for 2013. She is one of about 15,000 semifinalists nationwide who advanced to this standing. Winners of National Merit Scholarship awards are chosen from the finalist group, based on their abilities, skills, and accomplishments.
From the finalist group, 8,400 students will be notified by this summer that they will receive a National Merit Scholarship. “I was pleasantly surprised and happy to become a finalist,” Lesko said of her recognition.
While in college, Lesko said she plans to study genetics and plant biology and has applied to the Pennsylvania State University Millennium Scholars Program.
