Our annual Football Issue features a pigskin on the terrific gridiron turf
at Milton Hershey School, Hershey, PA. Milton Hershey School is a
cost-free, private, coeducational home and school for children from
families of low income. The school is funded by a trust established by
Milton S. Hershey and his wife Catherine. Jason Bowers, CSFM, Joe
Barr, and Caleb Nippert are responsible for the winning entry.
