Parkland High School - Par Key Yearbook (Orefield, PA)

Text from Pages 1 - 166 of the 1954 volume:

We the graduating ( lass . . . will never forget the carefree days of our school life. As we take our leave, we feel a solemn duty to thank our administrators, faculty and friends for their inspiration and guidance so freely given during our quest for an education and a wider understanding As the theme of our book reflects the achievements of the ancient Greeks and depicts the culture of the Golden Age, we are prompted to survey our present status and envision our future life. We are aware, of course, that we shall never acquire the logic of Socrates, the wisdom of Aristotle, the genius of Euclid or the perfection of Phidias. We realize no oracle exists to predict our future, and there are no mythical gods to determine our destiny but we still face the future with a confidence wrought from the understanding that happiness lies in brotherhood, tolerance, co-operation and honesty Our staff has worked diligently, our adviser, Mr. Randall has been tireless in his efforts and patience; it is our sincerest hope that our successes will begin here with the presentation of the 1954 Par-Key n vudly Present . . . • DEDICATION • ADMINISTRATION • FACULTY • GRADUATES • ACTIVITIES • UNDERGRADUATES • FEATURES • ATHLETICS • ADVERTISING Mr. Jlral I (. 1 [mnincfcr In accordance with our deepest esteem and our knowledge of your long and faithful service as a teacher, coach, and builder of men; cognizant of your patient guidance and ability to inspire our Trojan teams; admiring your emphasis on character, fair play, and co-operation; experiencing your thoughtfulness and willingness to help; we, the Class of 1954, dedicate to you this edition of the Par-Key.

Best Other If lumbers Paul V. Kunkel Harold J German Elmer S. Wenner Charles R. Henninger Kenneth J. Ochs Issociate Superintendent As members of the Class of 1954, you have completed your formal education and are now at the threshold of facing a new challenge in life. The fundamentals of education have been taught you and an attempt has been made to translate subject matter into a form that will be practical for every day usage. Throughout high school, by means of the various courses and through student organizations, an effort was made to create in each one of you, a desire to act as one should in a democratic way of life. Service is the final purpose toward which all mankind should strive. It is my earnest desire that, throughout life, you may serve in many capacities that will be a credit to yourselves and society in general, thus making this world, as a whole, a better place in which to live. For the students of Parkland High School, 1954 is an eventful year. The curtain closes on the old and opens on the new as plans are made to convert our present building to an elementary school and to dedicate and open a new structure. The Class of '54 will always retain fond memories of Alma Mater with her crowded classrooms and hallways. The underclassmen, with the faculty, will have the opportunity to carry our fine traditions and high scholastic standards to the new building and develop there the finest public high school in Pennsylvania. Careful planning and cheerful cooperation combined with hard work and an adequate plant will accomplish this goal. We move forward with high hopes and great anticipation. May the creator of all grant us the necessary knowledge and strength to accomplish the task. flusthi III. Schaeffer We, the class of 1954, dedicate this page to the memory of Austin M.

The action centered around a strange idol which was death to touch, and the two Negro servants who knew the secret of its terrible power. Produced and directed under the capable guidance of Miss Ethel Evans, the play was a huge success. The long hours the cast spent in learning split second timing were well rewarded by the response of the audience.

It was very successful under the capable direction of Miss Jerry Diehl. The action of the play takes place in the reception lounge of the girls' dormitory at Cedar Hill College, an exclusive eastern school for women only. When Lotus Smith, from the Wild West, appears on the stage, things happen swiftly. The rest of the play is a struggle between those who wish Lotus's identity to remain a secret and Lotus's grandmother who makes a surprise visit from England.

The most outstanding event in our Junior year was the Senior Farewell. It was held in the beautiful General Trexler Room of the Americus Hotel in Allentown Al Kurtz and his orchestra furnished the music for dancing from nine o'clock until midnight. To complete the setting, a queen and her court were chosen. Pauline Seyer, the retiring queen of 1952, crowned Catherine Roma Queen of 1953, with a beautiful crown of white carnations. Accompanying Catherine to her throne were Doris Bachman, Lois Greena-wald, Isabel Wieand, Jean Keldsen, Ethel Haines, and Barbara Wiessler, all carrying nosegays of pink and yellow rosebuds and baby's breath t954 Pax-'Ketf fjoverning Oneself Is [governing Wisely The purpose of our student government is to bring closer relations between students, teachers, and administration.

The following people were chosen by the class: Dale Utt, president; Ernest Helfrich, vice-president; Edward Reichard, secretary; Lee Drake, treasurer. We rapidly became interested in school events and extra-curricular activities. We witnessed the class plays, attended basketball games, and went to the dances, full of enthusiasm Members of our class entered different activities among which were Debate Club, Band, Girls' Chorus, and Trumpet. By this time the Christmas vacation was upon us, but winter passed quickly and soon the birds were chirping outside our classroom windows. Easter speedily approached, and then came the Senior graduation exercises. Along with graduation came the Junior - Senior Prom for which these four of our Freshman girls were chosen as hostesses, Jean Keldsen, Ethel Haines, Barbara Saeger, and Sally Galucy. At about this time Ethel Haines and Richard Recker were presented with American Legion awards for outstanding student citizenship. The year ended, we received our report cards, and merrily rolled down to Dorney Park for our annual school picnic. So ended our first year at P.H.S. We returned the following September as Sophomores. We held our heads a wee bit higher because we no longer were referred to as Junior High students Our subjects were more familiar to us now, and we felt the teachers were old friends. But more than that, we felt that we belonged! The first thing we did was to elect our class officers. Edward Reichard was chosen president and Catherine Roma vice-president. Doris Bachman was elected secretary while Lois Greenawald served as treasurer. A new organization came into existence this year called Student Council. Our class was honored when Ethel Haines was elected secretary of the organization by the student body. We were also represented at the Lehigh Valley Spelling Bee by Dorothy Oldham. Winter rolled past all too quickly, especially the basketball games, and soon March came roaring in, along with our first big dance. The class officers appointed committees for our Bunny Hop held on March 28 with music by Dick Kriner. We were teased and laughed at by the upper classmen about our dance, but we were determined not to let them get the best of us. The day of the dance, we decorated the gym, but, being new at this sort of thing, we weren't finished until 6:00 P M When we came to the dance that evening some of the streamers had fallen to the floor. We could have cried but we managed to fix everything and the dance was a huge success. We filled our heads with a great deal of knowledge, or at least a few of us did. We especially enioyed dissection in biology In fact, Miss Pharoah was amazed at the great surgical talent our class possessed School days seemed to fly. Spring arrived along with exams. We collected Seniors' name cards with pride for soon we would assume the position of Juniors. Finally we came to the end of our Sophomore year, and again had our usual school picnic at Dorney Park. As usual, vacation flew all too quickly, and soon Labor Day was in our laps. We trooped back to school the next day with an air of sophistication about us After all, we were Juniors. This was quite an accomplishment for some of us. Again class officers were chosen, but this time for one of our most important years. Our capable president Edward Reichard was re-elected along with Doris Bachman as vice-president, Barbara Saeger as secretary and Catherine Roma as treasurer. During her Junior year, Ethel Haines served as vice-president of Student Council, an office to which she was elected by the student body. Basketball season was approaching rapidly. Consequently, four of our junior girls were selected by Mrs. Anderson and the senior cheerleaders as members of the cheering squad The lucky girls chosen were Lois Greenawald, Isabel Wieand, Catherine Roma, and Ethel Haines Our class decided to sell Parkland pennant pins to help make our treasury grow The successful basketball season helped us to sell hundreds. This year we again sponsored a dance On December 20 we imparted a bit of the Christmas spirit to the Parkland gym by our gala Belles and Beaux. With music by Tim Bortz and our committees doing a fine job, how could it have been anything but a success? Another memorable event took place when we selected our class rings A committee chose two styles and the class picked the one they liked best. After several months of anticipation and impatience, our rings finally came Teachers as well as other students had to put up with us while we polished and admired them After our ring enthusiasm died down, another maior event took place. This was our Junior Play The cast was chosen and rehearsals under the direction of Miss Evans began When Drums of Death was presented, the auditorium was filled with shrieks of horror and laughs of relief at our never-to-be-forgotten play. Time flew quickly, and soon we were busy making plans for our important Junior - Senior Farewell. It was held at the Americus Hotel on May 23 with music by Al Kurtz Midway through the evening, the teachers who attended chose a queen and her court from the girls who danced a special number reserved only for Junior girls and their escorts. Catherine Roma was chosen as queen of our prom, and Barbara Wiessler, Lois Greenawald, Jean Keldsen, Ethel Haines, Doris Bachman, and Isabel Wieand as members of her court Everyone agreed that the dance was certainly a memorable event. Before we realized it, the Seniors were having Baccalaureate and Commencement exercises The following junior girls were chosen as ushers: Dian Smoyer, Isabel Wieand, Bonnie Peters, Barbara Wiessler, Darlene Klotz, Barbara Saeger, Ethel Haines, Sandra Fritzinger, Lee Drake, and Lois Greenawald. It was then that we realized how close we were to our own graduation. We had our picnic and said good-bye to many Senior friends. In September, 1953, we began our final year at P H.S We jokingly assumed the superior air of Seniors We tried to be as merry as possible, but we all felt a strange feeling in our hearts when the Alma Mater was sung at pep meetings. We elected our final group of officers Edward Reichard was again chosen president, and the class elected Ethel Haines vice-president, Barbara Saeger was re-elected secretary, and Catherine Roma served as treasurer. We were honored to have Dorothy Oldham serving as President of the Student Council this year She had been elected in a close decision the preceding spring Committees for a Sadie Hawkins Dance on October 23 were appointed Everyone came in leans and danced to the music of Jimmy Ryan An enjoyable time was had by all. The Par-Key staff was organized under the guidance of Mr Randall, with Barbara Saeger and Ernest Helfrich as co-editors. A cast was chosen for our senior play Mr Co-ed, under the direction of Miss Diehl. This hilarious comedy was presented on November 19th and 20th We could say without bragging that it was one of the funniest plays ever presented at Parkland. To swell the funds in our treasury, we decided upon several money-making projects. We sold bracelets and tie clasps which sported the name of Parkland and sold long pencils with Parkland pennants attached In January we presented our last dance It was titled Frosty Frolic and music was provided by Tim Bortz's band. Our decorations consisted of blue and white streamers with snow flakes dangling from them A little snowman sat in the corner while students danced and had a good time. New as our senior year draws to a close, we reflect upon our many happy memories To all those friends remaining behind we want to say thanks for being our friends. To our teachers we want to give our sincere appreciation for all the help they' gave us over the years We. the Class of 1954 bid farewell to Parkland High School We 11 lade It!. . . Our formula Now that we are about to graduate, we feel that we can safely hand down this sacred code to the underclassmen. If you adhere to the following rules carefully, we can guarantee that you will graduate - or be expelled Either way you get out of school! 1. Never study — T V. is much more interesting. 2. If you don't like someone, write his name on the wall and follow it with ___________is a rat. This is sure to make you popular with the person, especially when he finds out who wrote it. The administration advocates this of course! 3. If you don't like your teachers, talk back to them, or shake fists at them If you're home on a three day vacation you don't have to look at them 4. If you are going to have a test, follow these simple rules: (a) ask someone who has already taken the test to give you the answers, or if this isn't possible, (b) copy from some intelligent person (if you can find one1) (c) skip class 5. Never pay attention in class You already know more than all your teachers combined. 6. Always chew gum and eat candy in classes, then drop the wrappers on the floor. This gives the ianitors an excuse to sweep the floors, and your teachers an opportunity to rave. 7. If you take chemistry, mix things together It gives your class good practice in defending themselves against enemy attacks. 8. Copy all your homework from your best friend. When the teacher tells you your work is the same, just say, Well, we had the same assignment! 9. Make all book reports from classic comics, or base them on movies or T V. shows, or make up your own story, or copy your report from someone else. This saves your eyes for more important things like looking at the opposite gender 10. Make booby traps, such as a box of water over a door, for your best friends to fall into. This is sure to bring you an extended holiday from school. 11. Always crowd into the lunchline This makes Mr Baer extremely happy. 12. When school is over, push and run through the halls and dash out to the bus Then you can sit and talk for five minutes before the bus leaves -zw X W 7?'.

As I wandered through the hallowed halls, cracked as they were, I smiled as the memories came flooding back. I noticed thick smoke curling through a crack in the wall from the new deserted oracle of Parkland, the boiler room, and feeling a desire to know what had become of my friends of old, I walked in. As I seated myself upon a pile of discarded Shorthand and P.D. notebooks of the Class of '54, the lips of the oracle began to move, and from the very heart of the dense, billowing smoke, I heard these words: Ulysses Recker is on a journey throughout the district. The first of the many perils he encountered was the sweet singing of Circe Roma and her sirens. Smoky Haines, Doris Bachman, Jean Keldsen, Izzie Wieand, Barbara Wiessler, and Lois Greenawald It is said he had to be chained to his trusty ship. Bus 7 to keep from following the sultry tones of these maids. After Ulysses had passed this danger point at Lincoln Circle, his life was in peril when the Cyclopes, Karl Ritschel, Dale Snyder, and Paul Creitz threw huge doughnuts at him. Ulysses had been warned by Athena Oldham and the three sisters of fate, Nancy Boyer, Elaine Bachman, and Verna Todt, that the Lotus eaters, namely Bobby Schneck, Paul Best and Ronald Mantz, were planning a trap for him Since it was rumored that the Lotus eaters made one forget everything in the past, Ulysses obtained the help of the three Furies. Barb Todd, Pat Frank, and Joan Lane were glad to help him because they didn't want him to lose any of his precious P H S. memories Zeus Reichard called a council meeting with Mars Peters to settle the whole matter peacefully. Hercules Knauss, after killing the many headed Hydra, has set out upon his most difficult task, capturing the Queen of the Amazons, Hippolyte Saeger This promises to be quite a battle, since Queen Hippolyte has at her disposal, those first-class Amazon spear throwers, Mickey Kuhns and Reba Mae Schmoyer We shall have to wait for the outcome of this battle. Hercules was also having some trouble in his battle with the Titans, Bobby Everett, Larry Longenbach, and Paul Schaeffer, so the lovely goddess. Aphrodite Trinkle, consented to help our hero Prometheus Jacobs, realizing what dangerous trouble Hercules was in, rushed out to the P H S. incinerator and brought in some fire for him. In gratitude, Hercules let him in on the big news. Pandora Kern is holding a raffle at the Greenawalds Fire Hall for the contents of her mysterious box It is said to contain Par-Key contracts.

Model T Chariot The lips of the oracle closed, and the smoke became so dense, I had to leave the hallowed halls of Parkland As I walked back down Huckleberry Hill, I reflected on the good fortune of my classmates They certainly had become famous My reflections were interrupted as I heard a chariot thundering down the hill directly behind me. I couldn't seem to get out cf the way.

Gene Rickert led the scoring with 14 points. On their second outing of the season, the Parkland cagers encountered a strong Central Catholic five in Rockne Hall After a close 3 periods the Vikings pulled out in front to stay and to win 56 - 46. Captain Eddie Reichard was high man with 13 Palmerton was our next foe and although the Trojans fought with all their hearts, Palmerton's superior height advantage could not be overcome When the final whistle blew, the Blue Bombers were on top, 56 to 49. Parkland then played host to Phillipsburg High. The Trojans, eager to even their season's record at 2 wins and 2 losses, led throughout the contest to rack up a 58 to 34 win. Woody Helfrich tallied 14 points. Entering league competition, we traveled to Fountain Hill where, after having led for almost the entire game, we lost to the Hillers by a 57 to 56 count in overtime Brad Roth poured 26 points through the net in a losing effort. Our second league contest was with East Stroudsburg in the Little Palestra Following a poor first half the Trojans found the basket in the third and fourth periods to register a 65 - 50 win Brad Roth again had 26 points, followed by Woody Helfrich with 18. The Troians then traveled to Bangor after their second league win and copped it by the score of 69 to 55. Brad Roth continued his prolific scoring with 25 points In the last game before Christmas we traveled to Smith Hall to meet our old rival, the undefeated Slatington five. After receiving quite a scare the Slaters got hot in the last period to gain the verdict 69 to 54. Brad Roth topped all scores with 19. Entering our seventh Lehiqh Valley Invitational Christmas Tournament, we were paired against Central Catholic. Showing considerable improvement since the first meeting of the season, the Vikings outclassed our Troians to win 49 to 32 After enjoying the holidays, the Parkland cagers were eager to get back in the win column when they entertained Nazareth at the Little Palestra With Ed Reichard and Woody Helfrich leading the way, they thoroughly drubbed the Blue Eagles 70 to 46. In a thrilling contest the Trojans next downed the Coplay Wildcats 66-63 This was the first Parkland win on the Coplay floor in four seasons. Ed Reichard, Brad Roth, and Gene Rickert scored 20, 13, and 10 points respectively. Next to fall before the men of Troy were the Panthers of Hellertown High Coach Wilson substituted freely but the outcome was still a decisive 65 to 38 victory Brad Roth tallied 22 points for the victors. In a comparatively low scoring contest the Trojans racked up their eighth win of the season and their fourth win in a row to down an Alumni team loaded with former stars by a 43 - 34 count. Reichard, Helfrich and Roth led the offensive Showing off their best offensive strength of the season, the Trojans ran rough shod over Pen Argyl on the losers' court. Pouring in points from everywhere on the floor, the Troian five won by a big 97 to 41 score Brad Roth, George Kuhns, and Woody Helfrich were top point producers with 21, 16 and 15 counters respectively. As we came to the last game of the first half, Parkland found themselves and Wilson Boro deadlocked for first place with only the Warriors yet to play. The school spirit and the players' confidence were high, but Lady Luck was on Wilson Boro's side; our Trojans experienced a bad night, taking a 72 to 53 setback. Gene Rickert was high man with 10 points. Thus the first half ended with Wilson Boro sitting in first place and us in a tie for second with Fountain Hill. With the start of second half play we met Fountain Hill on our home floor. Needless to say, every one of our players and fans alike were longing to avenge our early season defeat at the hands of the Hillers. After going to the dressing room at halftime trailing by 10 points, our boys pulled themselves back into the game only to drop the contest 54 to 53 on a Hiller bucket in the last 20 seconds. Woody Helfrich led the Trojans with 17 points. After losing that thriller we took the long trip to East Stroudsburg and won a thriller of our own. Trailing by one point with one second left in an overtime period Brad Roth dropped in a two pointer for the winning margin. Roth was high for the Trojans with 22 markers. After winning a close one from Bangor by a 46 to 43 score, five opponents in a row fell easy prey. Our boys beat Nazareth 62 - 46 with four men hitting double figures, then downed Coplay 62 - 48 again with 4 men in double digits Next to 'fall were the Panthers of Hellertown High to the tune of 78-47. Roth and Rickert led the way with 19 apiece. Next on the agenda was a trip across the state line for a meeting with Phillipsburg High School. Brad Roth led the attack with 25 points as the boys walloped P-burg 80 - 49. The last and hardest to fall was Pen Argyl with Roth again leading all scorers with 27 points as we recorded an easy 80 to 40 triumph. Last game of the season in which the Class A representative in the District 11 playoffs was to be decided, was with Wilson Boro. Although the Trojans led by as many as 10 points in the first half, the Warriors got hot in the third and fourth periods to take the tussle 80 to 64. And so ended the 1953-54 basketball campaign. And a successful one it was Although no championship was won the Trojans compiled 16 wins against 8 losses which is an enviable record in any man's league. As evidence of a successful season we offer this record: Parkland Opponent Coopersburg 54 47 Central Catholic 46 56 Palmerton 49 56 Phillipsburg 58 34 Fountain Hill 56 57 East Stroudsburg 65 50 Bangor 69 55 Slating ton 54 69 Central Catholic 32 49 Nazareth 70 46 Coplay 66 63 Hellertown 65 38 Alumni 43 34 Pen Argyl 97 41 Wilson Boro 53 72 Fountain Hill 51 53 East Stroudsburg 50 49 Bangor 46 43 Nazareth 62 46 Coplay 62 48 Hellertown 78 47 Phillipsburg 80 49 Pen Argyl 80 40 Wilson Boro 64 80 1954 P - 'Key Junior Varsi tij 1 Sasketba 11 Coach..................................Aral Henninger Junior Managers.......................David Musselman Ronald Zeigler TEAM Co-Captains.....................Rudy Dippl Fred I sett Dale Miller Robert Kriner Evan Wescoe Peter Thomas Carl Walbert Barry Gaal Thomas Fenstermaker Roger Hunsicker Robert Jasper Michael Persing Bruce Schupp Ronald Simock Peter Christ Richard James Edgar Glose Roger Nothstein Donald Gerhart SEASONAL RECORD Byron Young Team Parkland Opponent Coopersburg 69 18 Central Catholic 36 37 Palmerton 58 28 Phillipsburg 55 14 Fountain Hill ■ 30 65 East Stroudsburg 65 34 Bangor 99 45 Slatington 57 54 Nazareth 70 27 Coplay 58 49 Hellertown 61 45 Alumni 50 51 Pen Argyl 95 30 Wilson Boro 68 36 Fountain Hill 42 43 East Stroudsburg 51 36 Bangor 73 29 Nazareth 57 35 Coplay 58 28 Hellertown 62 57 Phillipsburg 88 39 Pen Argyl 59 24 Wilson Boro 56 55 Spirit, the c ssence of Victor} For leading the Parkland fans in cheering at the basketball games, our peppy cheerleaders can't be beat Under the capable guidance of Mrs. Anderson, these girls put long hours into learning new cheers.

The team under Bob Wilson for the first time in 1932, had a 3-7 record while playing their games at Kratzer's. In 1933, the team played its home games at Dorney Park. In 1935, after an off season in '34, the team resumed competition at the south corner of the present athletic field. From '36 to '42, and in '47 and '48 (since coach Wilson was in the Navy from '42 to '48, Parkland had no baseball during these years) the teams played at the same field. In 1949, due to the completion of the new track, diamond had to be moved to its present site. The baseball team under coach Wilson has been highly successful, breaking into the first division every season The teams of '37, '42 and '51 all copped league crowns while last year's nine not only took the league championship but also defeated the winners of the Lehigh and East Penn Leagues before losing to Hegins in the district final. Mr Wilson, during his long career as baseball coach, has succeeded in producing several pro ball players. Among these are George Diehl, who played for the Braves, Mike Brutchak, who played in the American Association, and Cletus Held, who played in the Piedmont League The most recent of Wilson's proteges to make the pro grade are the Lakatosh twins who were signed by the Pittsburgh club in 1953 1933 2nd place 1934 No schedule 1935 2nd place 1936 2nd place 1937 1st place 1953 1 1938 2nd place 1939 3rd place 1940 4th place 1941 2nd place 1942 1st place place (district runner up) 1954 ? 1948 3rd place 1949 3rd place 1950 2nd place 1951 1st place 1952 2nd place Coach Bob Wilson is to be congratulated for the fine record which his teams have maintained throughout the years. Of even greater importance, however, is the fine example which he has set by instilling in each and every one of his ball players a life-long spirit of co-operation and sportsmanship. We wish Mr. Wilson continued success as coach of Parkland's future baseball teams at the new high school Students . . .
