HfsFFLJftefHafQ DEDIKASHU IT is with great pleasure and respect that We, the Class of 1951, dedicate our Year Book, LATHE CTACHTIN BAMia11f', to Mr. Elwood R. Rehrig. Mr. Rehrig was born and reared in Lehighton and was graduated from Lehigh- ton High School with the Class of 1933. l'le was also graduated from East Stroudsburg State Teachers College, where he received the degree of BS. in Educa- tion, and, while there, par- ticipated in various extra- curricular activities. Our dedicatee is married to the former Joan Jagers of East Stroudsburg and is the father of a son, Scott Thomas, who is at present a pupil in the first grade at Third Ward. Teaching algebra and plane geometry and acting as Faculty Manager of all athletics keep Mr. Rehrig busy, both during the school day and at many out-of- school events. 5 'L' K i -am, ii .4 . 1 f..t .. ii !'l '--in T' ' 'I A .f grew' sqm. H1 Tix V A ' 51 w . aw ,, New OUR SCHOOL VVhen a school term begins, the faculty and student body often wonder what it will bring forth, how quickly the time will pass, what changes will be made, how much will be learned, how much fun there will be, who will be chosen for various positions, how many games will be won, etc., etc., etc. The school year 19-19-1950 was no exception. Tn fact, when we look back we sometimes wonder where it went. The pupil enrollment held to its usual f'high and faculty in general remained the same, except for four changes Miss Mary Pilz, who announced her retirement, was succeeded by Mr. Ernest Koegelg Mr. Dallas Heffner is teaching 7th and 8th grade English in place of Mr. Charles Hoppes, who is now in the mathematics department filling the position formerly held by the high school principal. Mrs. lietty Kerestes, who resigned, was replaced by Mr. Clair Bailey and, when Mr. Alvin Schmidt took leave of absence in the second semester to complete work toward his Master's degree, Mr. Chester Acaley was chosen to head the music department until his return. A highlight ofthe school year was the presence of the Committee on Evaluation for Secondary School Standards during a three-day period in November. Realizing our limitations and handicaps, the teachers and pupils, nevertheless, tried their best to show their interest, concern, and loyalty for L. H. S. Mention must also be made of the expansion of the State Adult Education Program. This night and summer work is sponsored by the Board of Education and taught by various members of the faculty. Many of the outcomes of an education program cannot be measured tangiblyfmost of us realize this, and it is only as the graduates adjust and adapt themselves after leaving Lehightori High School that faculty and student body can begin to realize how much good has been done. DANIEI. 1. FARREN, High School Principal THE EDITOR SPEAKS Ar the first meeting of the Staff of the 1951 Gachtin Bambiln in May 1949 the ol'l'icers were elected and our task was explained. A short time later we met to decide upon the theme. Several proposals were made and the Mountaineer idea was adopted. During the fol- lowing weeks the colors and other details were decided upon. We soon found out that the preparation of the book and the sales campaign were not the only obstacles to cope with. The amount charged for the book is only a portion of what it really costs to produce. Hence. additional revenue was secured from f - the proceeds from the sale of refreshments at all athletic events, sale of Christmas cardsg pro- ceeds from several movies shown in the auditorium, profit from the .lunior Class Play, Happy Endingnz and, of course, from the sale of advertisements. ln the last-named project we were aided by many 1,.H.S. boosters, who, by realizing the value of an adn in the Year Book, also added to our revenue. In addition to the Staff members, many other Class members contributed of their time and energy to bring us closer to our goal. The Class of 1951 would especially like to express most sincere thanks to Mr. Edward G. Diehl, our adviser, for the long hours and pains-taking work he has so generously offered in behalf of the Gachtin Bambiln. The goal of each Year Book Staff must necessarily be to uphold the tradition of more than thirty years of work and to improve wherever poss- ible. We trust we have done our best in bothl JACK HoNTz, Editor-in-Ch1'1f KUOL BORD AN FAKULTEE v XXX lil rx lil?

The 85 Lehighton district pupils and the 85 outlying district pupils were divided into five home rooms under the super- vision of Miss Florence Shafer, Mrs. Marian Rumfield, and Messrs. Lauer, Koegel and Gilham. The class was formally organized when we elected the following officers: Prefident .........,..,....... Richard Eckhart Vice-Preyident. . . ..,.. Charles Lusch Sfcrztary .....,... .,... D ennis Roth Treasurer ...........,,........,. Willard Doll lt was decided to wait until a later date to choose our class flower, colors, and motto because there is no definite need at the very beginning of our high school years and association with one another will give us all a better idea of what our choice should really be. SOPHOMORE We began the history of the sophomore class at a meeting held in the auditorium under the direction of Miss Pilz and Mr. Hoppes, when the Class of 1952 chose its oflicers. Irene Durigan was elected president: George Stimmel, vice- presidentg Barbara Everitt, secretary, Charles Mullen, treasurer, and Anna Sipple, historian. In the Hallowe'en parade we received a prize for the largest number in line. During the week before Christmas we held our Christmas party in the Gym. Refreshments were served and dancing was enjoyed by the group. ln January, we held a class meeting to choose our class motto, class flower, and class colors. They are, in the order named- If we rest, we rust , yellow roseg and blue and gold. After our summer vacation we returned to school again, ready for another busy year. A meeting was held in the Gym under the super- Our first class participation was in the Hallowe'en Parade, our theme being: the occupa- tions of Pennsylvania. We won first place for having the largest number in line.

We are sure her work in the Com- mercial Department will some day lead her to a good job as somebody's secretary. Girly' Choruf 10, 1l,' Typing Club 1l,' Dramaliu Club 95 Rzfrzrhmnil Salzx Il. FAYE EVELYN WOLFE R. D. 3 .flugurt l General Although her picture is not in the junior section, Faye is a member of the Class who needs little introduction. She came to l.. H. S. at the beginning of this term and was formerly in Allentown High School. During the short time she has been here she has already made many friends. lf you don't know her, she will probably be down town during the noon hour with her pal jerry Bollinger, and you will recognize her then. After graduation Faye plans to be a Physical Therapist. Good luck for good healthl Girlr' Chorur ll. JUNIOR In the fall of 1947 we entered Lehighton High School and became officially known as the Class of 1951. This was our first step on our ladder of hard work and accomplishment. Our class advisers were Mr. Lauer and Mr. Hoppes. We chose officers to lead us in social affairs and other matters needing attention. We received a prize in the Hallowe'en parade for the best representation. We chose our class motto- We hope to rise by our efforts . The carnation became our class flower and red and blue, our class colors. ln 1948 we came back to L. H. S. as sopho- mores, under the direction of Mr. Obert. We again received a prize in the Hallowe'en parade for the largest representation. Another of our class activities was a skating party, held at Gravers' Skating Rink. And now, as juniors, we again returned to our Alma Mater. With Mr. Diehl as class and year book adviser we began our most important task+the publishing of the Gachtin Bambiln. Our primary consideration was a balanced budget and, because our books always cost more than the pupils are asked to pay for them, we naturally used various means to supplement the income from the sale of books and advertising. Mention LIQSTER STERN 324 NORTH SEVENTH Sritei-:'r April 5 General Lester is one of the chubbier members of our Class. He has proved that he is an asset to the school by his participation in football and various other athletic events. His academic work suffers sometimes, however, because he lets himself he hypnotized by the frightful god SSENIZAL. His friends from the football squad, with whom he sometimes hangs out at the Sports' Shop and the other members of '51 wish him Happy Landing! Vanity Football 9, 10, ll. ROBERT LEE YANERO 173 Souri-i FIRST Sriuier February 24 General Nearly every homeroom has a practical joker and this young man takes the credit for Mr. Gernerd's room. Robert. better known as Sally , pals around with Wentz, McFarland, Isenman, and Semmel and is frequently seen at the new bus terminal. He lends his musical talent to the orchestra by playing the clarinet in that organization. Sally spends a great deal of his summer time in fishing and we believe that in addition to being great sport it will be helpful to him, because he intends to join the Navy and see the world . Happy sailingl HISTORY of these projects is made elsewhere in the book and, at the present writing, we are proud to state that there is a substantial balance to be carried into our senior year. The class play, Happy Ending , was one of the largest money-raising efforts and the cast, assisted by Mr. Bailey, the director, have our thanks for their cooperation. We also recognize the assistance and cooper- ation given by class members who sold refresh- ments at all athletic eventsg by those who sold Christmas cards and play ticketsg and by those who aided in the publication of the book itself. Without all these people and the guidance from faculty members we should have experienced a rather difficult time in fulfilling our plans. The Class of 1951 also has many members who are active in extra activities, such as: Foot- ball, Basketball, Majorettes, Band, Orchestra, Leni Lenapian Staff, etc. As We hope to rise by our efforts , so do we wish for other classes to come that they may profit by our mistakes and try to emulate those things which we did well. All this will bring greater praise to our Alma Mater-Lehighton High School. Nira Knappenberger, Ilirtorian CL.-XSS GF 19511 -1.-XNIC MAR'1'fX ACH 124 S.

By following it, whether consciously or not, we have been able to realize its truth and progress thus far. Going back four years, we see ourselves as frightened freshmen who were always willing to learn and follow the leaders. That is the reason we went through our first year with so much fun and excitement. Among our accomplishments were: a big Christmas party in the Gym, a skating party, first prize in the Hallowe'en parade, and a Truth or Consequence program in the auditorium. When the end of the year arrived, most of us felt that we had not wasted the year, for we had lived up to our motto pretty well. Our sophomore year brought new class oH'icers, in the persons of Karl Niehoff, Richard Carrigan, Lila May, George Tkach, and Nancy Neifert. At the election meeting we also chose the lily of the valley for our class flower and aqua and white for our class colors. During this year we again won a Hallowe'en parade prize and again held a skating party. Our members continued to take active parts in most of the school offerings, as our motto kept leading us on. Every historian tells us that the junior year is very important because of the publication of the Gachtin Bambil . The Class of 1950 will agree whole-heartedly because it was our privilege to prepare the 30th anniversary issue-an issue which is of great historical and cultural value. Our class oflicers for this year were: Robert Moyer, president, Richard Tredinnick, vice- presidentg Catherine Rex, secretary, Lila May, treasurer, Jacqueline Oppold, historian. The class with its officers, worked well on all plans, parti- cularly with the class play- Brides to Burn . Many committees cooperated to prepare for the junior-Senior Prom, and beautiful decorations plus luscious refreshments helped to promote the gaiety and fun that was enjoyed by all. As the end of the year approached, we had a feeling of satisfaction in work well-done. This year, more than any other, proved how true our motto is and that we could not have picked a better one. Our senior elections resulted in the election of Robert Moyer for presidentg Thomas Polk for vice-president, Lila May for secretary, George Tkach for treasurer, and Catherine Rex for historian. In the spring of senior year we again gave the customary class play-this time entitled Four Daughters and, of course, received much commendation for its presentation. Members ofthe class, in addition, held prominent positions in most school activities. Now, as we approach the closing days of high school life, we are not thinking too much about the past. Instead, we are concentrating on the futures that lie ahead for usgbright for some, desolate for others. In the long run, however, recollections from the past will keep appearing and perhaps, through the tears and laughter of Class Night and Commencement will shine the satisfaction of accomplishing a task that confronted us and of doing the best we could. To all the classes who come after us, the Class of 1950 requests that they learn the motto Education is the cornerstone of success as we did and follow it faithfully. School days will then be the best days -WE KNOW! Catherine Rex, Hiftorian SAIL! SALE!

The members of this organization practiced faithfully for the Spring Concert-an event during which they have an opportunity to rise and shine . During Club Period every Wednesday morn- ing, their voices blend together in smooth harmony Qwith, of course, the occasional promptings of Mr. Schmidt or Mr. Acaleyj. The boys also practice occasionally with the Girls' Chorus, which meets on Tuesday mornings. An enrollment of 67 makes the organization especially strong this year and each member has gained both in singing ability and in musical appreciation. Some of this year's songs were: The Sea Gypsy , A Merry Life , Lolita , Aura Lee and various other college and Glee Club songs.

The Girls' Choir, which began in 1943, under the direction of Mr. Russell Christman, consists of 41 girls who sing in a three-part harmony. This choir makes an annual appearance in the Spring Concert. In December the choir rendered a few selections at the Elks' Memorial Services held in the auditorium of Lehighton High School. This year the choir has supplied us with a trio of Junior girls, who make appearances at various places. Not only does the choir sing a cappella but it also renders numbers with accompaniment. The choir was under the direction of Mr. Alvin Schmidt for the first semester of the school term and under the direction of Mr. Chester Acaley for the second semester. ff 6 w .N :H Y ii H J. f w vv ! we . , 'N Q f f' r .

Our High School has an orchestra of which it can be justly proud. This is largely due to the capable leadership of Mr. Schmidt and Mr. Acaley. At the present writing the following will be rendered in the concert: Summer Breezes In The Mystic Land of Egypt , In a Persian Market , Processional March , Scarlet Mask Overture , and the march Jubilant Fete . The orchestra has a weekly practice in which it is always trying to better itself. It has an annual spring concert in which it gives the public a chance to listen to some very fine music.

The Mixed Chorus is a new musical group in Lehighton High School. It is made up of fifty selected voices from the Boys' Glee Club, Girls' Chorus, and Girls' Choir and enables the director of music to work with a four-part specialized organization. Mixed Chorus meets during the school day in periods which are varied from one week to the next because class time must be used, and in this manner no single subject or class is missed continuously. Favorite numbers for this year were: Cousin Jedediah , The Orchestra Song , June is Bustin' out all Over and Cherubim Song .

These divisions were made to differentiate the members elected to various positions from the group-at-large and to provide for diversified work. The Active group met regularly each Wednesday in Club Period. while the Associate group was called for the sale of books, assistance in advertising, and for preparation of written material. Details incident to the publication have been mentioned by the Editor-in-Chief in the fore-part of the book and the Staff in general agreed that when Mr. Edward Diehl, the adviser, told them that there was much work to be done during the year he knew what he was talking about . Picture taking-deadlines! Photographs-dead- lines! Biography!-deadlines! Write-ups- dead- lines! Sale of books-deadlines! Collection of installments-deadlines! Advertising campaign -deadlines! All material in-deadlines! Well, here is the finished product! If you like it, give credit to those who worked hard to help it along. If you don't like it, criticize those who did little or nothing for it. JUNIOR PLAY HAPPY ENDING Un December 1, 1949, a farce comedy, entitled Happy Ending , was presented by the Junior Class. It was under the direction of Mr. Clair Bailey. The scene of the play is a small country inn owned by Henry Abbott and his helpful wife Elinor. Business at the inn hasn't been so brisk and the couple is a bit worried about the future until Elinor gets an idea. Elinor's idea is to conduct a contest offering a prize of a week's free stay at the inn to the couple who, in the preceding week, seems to be the most devoted. Doris Pearson, a pretty young neighbor, is appointed judge. Guests began to arrive and among the first is handsome, young Tony Adams, an archaic law- looker-upper. Others include the Jenkins, who are out to win the prize and, although they ordinarily seem to take a joy in quarreling, they try to appear sweet and devoted when Judge Pearson is about. Then we have Romeo and Juliet, two romantic newlyweds, who, because they are newlyweds, have an advantage over the others. The remaining guests are: Jasper Crunch, a grouchy businessman, and Phoebe Wren, a widow who is pursuing him throughout the entire play. Complications arise early in the play when the radio announces that Black Bennie, an escaped criminal famous for his disguises, is believed to be hiding in the locality and may be posing as a guest at the inn. The play ends surprisingly when Henry and Elinor Abbott are named winners of the devoted couple contest and Romeo proves to be Black Bennie, with Juliet as his accomplice.

PRESS CLUB PLAY drama of the annual Press Club Play, put on by members of the Leni Lenapian Staff. February 9, 1950 marked the production of Dangerous Nan McC1rew , under the direction of Mr. Charles Gernerd. Jean Caldwell, a young and attractive girl of about 24, is in love with David Brewster, suspect- ed of murder and bank robbery. They are both living in the summer home of Miss Van Loon, the leader of the mob that robbed the Westbrook and Farnham banks. All seems to be going well until people whose cars have broken down in a terrible storm begin to come to the house for shelter. Among the first to arrive are Nan McGrew, a school teacher, and her pupils, Jody and Rosalie. Miss McGrew receives a warm welcome from Proctor, the caretaker of the home. Also on the scene is Steve Latham, the man who framed Brewster. At the end of the first act Latham is murdered by Joe Higgins, another member of the mob. Nan McGrew finds evidence of the robbery and is almost killed by the crooks. At the end of the play a State Trooper enters the scene and is almost thrown off the trail by Miss Van Loon, but through the explanation of Jean Caldwell, Jody, Miss McGrew and Rosalie, the mob is rounded up and captured. Stage settings were in charge ofMr. Henderson and members of the Stagecraft Club. Cast of Characters jean Caldwell .... David Brewfter . Nan zlldlrew . . . fody ......... Rosalie .........

The four girls are at that stage of life where they are likely to be separated by romance and marriage. As the plot winds around Emma, the oldest sister CNancy Neifertj, the girls fall in love, fall out of love, marry, become estranged, learn of misfortune-even death. In short, the girls get a taste-of--life - - Life with its joys, Life with its heartbreaks. The play is far from sad. Throughout the three sparkling acts there is a noticeable light- heartedness evident. The dialogue is sprightlyg the situations, amusing. Jacqueline Oppold, Pauline Semmel, Nancy Neifert, and Joanne Thomas were the four daughters. Carolyn Zimmerman was the auntg Robert Moyer portrayed Adam Lemp, the girls' father, Walter Haswell, Edward Seltzer, James Brucker, Thomas Polk were the men in the girls' lives g and George Tkach assisted as the taxi-man, the cleric, and handy-man . The play was given under the supervision of Mr. Charles Gernerd. LIBRARY CLUB The Library Club is one of the more active clubs in our school. It is composed of fifteen girls who are chosen according to their character and scholastic rating. Under the supervision of Miss Ziegler, school librarian, the club has taken upon itself many responsibilities of the library. Some duties, which they must perform are: shelving and recom- mending books, mending books, binding maga- zines and keeping a daily record of circulation. Several boys serve as pages to the club. They learn desk work, shelving books, and taking care of library publicity in their homeroom. This part of the organization was instituted during the 1947-48 school term. The library aides are girls, who give at least one hour a week to library duties. This is the newest group of the library staff, starting this year. The busiest time is Book Week, when they decorate the library, hold contests, and present an auditorium period. At this time many new books are displayed and placed in circulation. In the past this group has been well known for its hard work and school spirit. We are quite sure that under the leadership of their most capable advisor they will continue to prosper. -A..JLlJLI..'ILi -.Ticzttl 1:1-D it -I f-3, A in li H- a L T me st, M DRIVING COURSE PURl'0SE ThC average high school student wants to learn to drive a car.

'lihe majority of the hoys came from the sixth. seventh. eighth and ninth grades, while niany of the light-weights hoys under one hundred pounds came from the fourth. fifth and sixth grades. livery Saturday afternoon hefore home varsity games the light-weights put on a surprisingly good exhihition of regular foothall. 'lthe heavy- Weights played six games with the .lunior Varsity on the regular field. They also made an excellent showing, with good prospects for some first- class material. Since these hoys do most of their practicing on the field to the south of the regular field. it is expected that in the near future a small shelter will he erected to enable them to change into uniforms without taking too much time hetween the Close of school and arriving at the field.

Work-outs are begun in early spring and con- sist of short running practices on the streets around the high school. After two weeks, if weather conditions permit, practice is held on the football field. In order to build up a good team Mr. Ginder has started to cultivate the talent in the seventh and eighth grades as well as in the higher grades. Although three letter winners were lost through graduation the team for the present season has promise of a good season. Events entries were in the following fields- 100 yd. dash, 220 yd. dash, 440 yd. dash, 880 yd. dash, mile, relay, shot-put, discus, javelin, broad jump, hi h jump, pole vault. Letter win- ners were: R. Tredinnick, L. Smith, C. Kresge, I. Snyder, E. Semmel, R. Moyer. Numeral winners were: V. Roper, L. Hahn, W. Schneider, R. Doll, H. Reinheimer, E. Schoenberger, Sparling, T. Finney, C. Person, F. Tkach. Lehighton-S2-2X3 Whitehall-42-1X3 Lehighton-50 Northampton-53M Lehighton-24 Emmaus-80 Lehighton-3 2 Palmerton-72 L. V. I. A. A. TRACK MEET Emmaus ....... ..........

Accord- ingly, members who were graduated in June 1949, namely-Carl Gross, catcher, Lamar Mertz, pitcher, Frosty Long, .rhortstopg Paul Brey, third baffmaug and Sam Fisher, ouyfielderg naturally were not on our present team. The scores, as given, show 2 wins and 8 losses for last season - not a very outstanding record but one which gives incentive for improvement.

This year, under the direction of Mrs. Minnich, they have introduced many new cheers to the student body, and, although our boys don't always win, the cheering of a well- directed group has often turned the tide in an athletic contest. Our cheerleaders this year were: Geraldine Bollinger, Javoen Borger, Mary Fay Daugherty, Barbara Everitt and Nancy Neifert. Junior Varsity cheerleaders were Joyce Brady and Mary Jane Stimmel. MAJ ORETTES This organization, the Lehighton High School Majorettes, surely helps to make all the football games more enjoyable. The girls for this year were picked by Mrs. Minnich and Mr. Schmidt. They were: Jacque- line Oppold, head, Carol Sauers, right side, Barbara Heller, left side, Mildred Kemmerer, corps leader. The corps consisted of Norene Beltz, Jane Burns, Betty Lou Clauss, Lucille Mahler, Cecelia Ovsak, Nelda Ramaley, Joanne Ronemus, Joanne Schick, Joanne Teets, Jane Warner, Gloria Wentz, Louise Werner, Gloria Whiteman, and Sandra Volkert. During the half these girls, with the aid of the band, entertain the spectators by twirling their batons and creating different formations. CLARINHTS-James Bruker, Kenneth Hawk, Carl Hochberg, Jack Hontz, Harold Long, Curtis Mase, Stanley McGowan, Vincent Roper, Joel Samuelson, Robert Sander, Arlington Snyder, Derwin Sthare. CORNl'I'I'S-' Robert Barclay, Carl Bohst, Lewis Christman, Willard Doll, David Dulaney, Ralph Eckhart, Lawrence Ifxner, Ralph Graver, Curtis Hornberger, Raymond Koons, Henry Long, Ronald Mahler, Lloyd Mengel, Robert Miller, Luther Niehoff, Joseph Noll, Jack Schlecht.

DnuMs-Edward Bruker, Richard Eckhart, Verdell Felter, Lamont Gombert, Stanley Graver, Dale Rahenold, David Williams, DRUM CARRllERmP2llll Evans. The High School Band, under the capable leadership of Mr. Schmidt, supplied the music and much of the pep for the football games. The boys, with their snappy maroon and white uniforms, paraded before and after the games. They also played many songs during the quarters and other time-out periods. At the half the Band, with the majorettes, performed new and inter- esting drill formations on the field. In addition to playing at all home and away football games this musical group also played at various assembly programs in school. A high spot in this year's activities was to join with the Slatington High School Band in playing at the ceremonies for the corner-stone laying at the Gnaden Huetten Memorial Hospital.
