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
