Slatington High School - Reflections Yearbook (Slatington, PA)

Text from Pages 1 - 168 of the 1959 volume:

Foreword A trip is much more than the journey itself. Planning, preparation, and anticipation all play important parts in the success of the voyage. The 1959 Reflections Staff saw the great similarity between these phases of a trip and our years in high school. Accordingly, we chose as our theme “Bon Voyage.” No one knows exactly when or whence the thought came; yet, the idea of taking a trip slowly became implanted in our minds. Our yearning increased, and suddenly it was no longer just an idea. The decision was made and preparations for the voyage began. We worked hard; each year saw us closer to our goal. Individually, each member of our class decided where he wanted to journey and what he himself planned to contribute to the trip. Together, we studied travel folders and completed our arrangements. At last the trip became a reality. When we received our passports, anticipation absolutely sparked through the air. As we embark on our trip through life and sail away from the dock, everyone will exclaim, “Bon Voyage!” This is our theme. It is truly appropriate, for we are the last class to graduate from this building. So “Bon Voyage,” S.H.S. And here, in the Foreword, is the most fitting place to look toward the new school, to look forward, to gaze into the future. 2 A picture of our new school in its earliest stages—Summer, 1958. Since 1916 many classes have graduated from this building—we are the last.

A. Evans, who was to us It seems only filling our 1959 Reflections, both friend and ad He played a great part in shaping our futures. In Junior High School we all looked up to him. and it was then that he gave us much advice. He taught 'many of 11s English in our freshman year, and we remember hit as the wonderful teaeher who opened to TuTThc doors of {literature. We remember Mr. Evans for many things—his sense of humor, his guidance, and his friendship. But, most of all, we remember the man, himself. Dedication WILLIAM E. HORVATH “Ratio et consilium propriae ducis artes.” “Forethought and prudence are the proper qualities of a leader.” Tacitus If forethought and prudence are the qualities of a leader, the Class of 1959 has, indeed, made a wise selection in choosing Mr. Horvath as the person to whom it wishes to dedicate its “Reflections.” Mr. Horvath, one of our very capable class advisors, has done much to improve the scholastic standards of Slatington High School. Not only has his service to our class been heralded, but also his guidance rendered to the Student Council has been cited as being of the utmost importance to our school. Perhaps his success as a leader can be accredited to his fine Christian principles, or it might be his belief in the members of our class as individuals. Whichever or whatever it is, the class wishes to express its appreciation by dedicating this book to Mr. Horvath-—a leader, an educator, a friend. 5 +. There are many phases of work involved in publishing a yearbook. To handle this work, the yearbook staff is divided into four main committees, or staffs, each headed by a manager. The managers, editor-in-chief, and Mrs. Herrity, our advisor, discuss the best ways of putting across our S.H.S. life in pictures. SEATED: Mrs. Herrity, Production Manager Louise Kern, Editor-in-Chief Gary Eckhart, Business Manager Donna Wentz. STANDING: Photographer Rodney Mummey, Art-Layout Manager Fred Kochmaruk, Literary Editor Judy McNertney, and Business Manager Jim Shive. A Diary, Lest Anything Be For gotten -Written and Edited by These Capable Staffs. Our Reflections will be our memories for the future. Many times in years to come, we will look back at this, our book, and giggle and gaze at friends we have not seen for years and years. But Reflections will never let us forget our friends, our frolics, our fusses, and our fears at S.H.S. “Make your write-ups vivid and interesting,” suggests Miss Miller to members of the Literary Staff. Carol Miller, Barbara Lewis, John Chamberlain, Judy McNertney, Sherwood Schearer, Dianne Gross, Miss Miller, Judy Paules, and Larry Correll took all writing assignments seriously. “Facing pages must balance,” is one rule of the “layout game.” Members of the art-layout staff discuss ways in which the pictures may be emphasized by position: Sandy Hoffman, Sylvia Stanusky, Patsy Smith, Ellen Jane Krause, Sheila Wescoe, Frances Reitz, Ruthann Bailey, JoAnne Papay, Betty Lou Kemmerer. “Eek! Whose writing is this? I can’t read this last word!” The main job of the production staff is deciphering articles and converting them into readable print. Our production gals are Carol Zellner, Ann Marie Scott, Renea Deutsch, Dinah Davies, Linda Blose, Diane Owens, and JoAnne Serfass. Subscriptions to the yearbook are important. We need buyers in order to balance our budget. This staff sold yearbooks and collected “Installments” from students and teachers: Gail Mack, Barbara Ibbotson, Barbara Bilheimer, Mildred Heisler, Janet Frantz, Sydney Wertz, and Shirley Roth. Every good business runs on a budget. The business committee of Reflections does an excellent job of keeping ours balanced. Pictured are Linda Blose, Marie Rauch, Patsy Scheffler, JoAnne Yesik, Michael Lazorcheck, Joan Coffin, Phyllis Schneck, Harry Ibbotson, and Patsy Merkle, who work on the advertising end of things and contact community supporters. Administration Behind these doors are our friends and advisors — the people of the travel bureau. They provided us with all the information we needed and gave us the necessary travelers’ checks. Northern Lehigh Joint School Board BOARD OF DIRECTORS Daniel H. Rauch Edward B. Shirk O. James Rauch Donald J. Rowlands Leon Rex, Jr. President Robert D. Edwards Muriel L. Williams Delbert F. Fatzinger Carl Fritzinger Ray W. Pickel Gordon Jones Robert Scheffler Walter A. Krum (not in picture) Always Behind Us-Strong and Secure. To the members of the Northern Lehigh Joint School Board we owe our whole preparation for our trip. We chose our own destinations; but these dedicated men secured the ships, provided the passports, and gave us their solid support through the years. In the course of our voyage we will look back at these men and realize they have given us the solid preparation. It is up to us where and how far we can journey. 10 Northern Lehigh Joint School Authority Back in October, 1957, after plans for the new Slatington High School building had reached a point when something concrete could be done, the Northern Lehigh Joint School Authority was created. Ever since, this Authority has been on call—giving of its time, patience, and talents in selling bonds and awarding contracts. The result? Now the Authority is on the point of completing a beautiful new S.H.S. building. The members are: Edgar Stahley, Ray Musselman, Allen G. Shiffert, Walter W. Rex, Robert Dreisbach, and Ira Bleiler. They Supervise Our School Having traveled over many oceans of education, the supervising principal of the Northern Lehigh Schools, Mr. Elmer Stevens, Ed.D., can always be depended upon to promote the scholastic standing of Slatington High School. Born in Aubern Center, Pennsylvania, Doctor Stevens attended Meshoppen High School, received his B.S. degree at Mansfield State Teachers College, and secured his M.S. and Ed.D. degrees from the University of Pennsylvania. Doctor Stevens lives in Slatington and is active in numerous community organizations. When not involved in school interests, he spends his free time with his family or engages in his hobby, photography. Doctor Stevens is also an ardent sports fan and can usually be seen at school sports events. An expert in scheduling our courses, first on hand at S.H.S. in the early mornings, Mr. Herman P. Snyder, Senior High School Principal, takes time from his pressing duties to pose for a photograph. A graduate of Northampton High School and Muhlenberg College, Mr. Snyder received his M.A. at Lehigh University and has worked on his doctorate at Temple University. His hobbies are traveling and athletics. His interest is in the welfare of individual students, and his advice is always worthwhile for us to follow. New this term in our school district is Mr. Joseph Musso, our assistant principal and junior high English teacher. A native of Park Ridge, New Jersey, a graduate and former teacher at Kutztown State Teachers College, Mr. Musso has received his Master’s degree from Lehigh University and is presently working there for his doctorate. In his spare time, Mr. Musso enjoys golf and ice skating. We like to hear him express himself in joint Smith Hall assemblies—in that deep and pleasing voice. How Well They Did Our Pap er Work! Holding down two jobs well—secretary to Dr. Elmer Stevens and Northern Lehigh Joint School Board Secretary, Miss Muriel L. Williams has that tailored look that denotes efficiency. Miss Williams devotes all her time and efforts to the good of our school. Got a question to ask? Here’s the lady that can answer it. Miss Ellen Geh-ringer, secretary to our principal, does so many chores each day for students and faculty members alike that we feel she is truly a vital factor in S.H.S. life. In the administrative office are kept many necessary records required by our School Board and by the State Department of Education. Guardians of such details are Mrs. Marie Deibert, Mrs. Ellen Dietrich, and Mrs. Betty Parry. “What’s a ’fizicul ’zam?” asks this kindergarten student. He is asking the right person, too; for Dr. H. B. Kern has kept us in top-top physical shape since we were in kindergarten. Those days when headaches reign supreme, Mrs. Carol MacCrindJe, in the corner picture, sympathetically doles out the aspirin. Mrs. Mac-Crindle checks our hearing periodically, too. Miss Ara Kern can always be counted on to take us home from school in an emergency or illness. Her cheerful visits at our homes are always welcomed, too, while we are sick in bed. To Obtain a Passport -a Physical Exam Is Necessary To work to the best of one’s ability, one must be in tip-top condition. Our health department is composed of two main departments—the dental and the medical. Both function well together and keep our student body healthy and happy. “These cavities have got to go!” Dr. Marvin Thomas tells one of our senior boys, Michael Lazorcheck. “Ladies first!” Gerald Hariinger steps aside to let Renea Deutsch go first into the nurse’s office. How many times through the years we have taken advantage of this medical aid. Seniors Ruthann Bailey and Harry Ibbotson leave the guidance office after having received the helpful guidance Miss Naylor so willingly lends to all students who seek it. Miss Evelyn Naylor’s expert guidance, her pleasant manner, and her way of lending a helping hand always made us all realize that we had someone to aid and counsel us. As time passes by and our futures become realities, we shall never forget Miss Naylor’s many hours spent in our behalf. With Expert Guidance All Our Problems Seemed Small The guidance department of Slatington High School affords to its students many opportunities. Each year a Career-Day program is carefully planned to aid students in their selections of future careers. If additional guidance is needed in selecting a college, getting a position after graduation, or just talking over a problem, the guidance office is awaiting us. Opportunities in the business world are being vividly explained by Mr. George Shankey, President of the Pennsylvania Business Schools, Inc., of Pittsburgh. Miss Carol Jones, a student of the school and also a ’58 S.H.S. graduate, assists him on her stenotype machine. In the picture in the corner is Po 2c Marion Spaar of the U. S. Women’s Navy Corps, who is telling the girls to “Join the Waves.” Sociability and a cup of coffee make a pleasant break for our visitors on Career Day. Chatting with Miss Naylor are Mr. Karlton Zamost, Franklin School of Science ancL Arts; T Sgt. Francis Renn and S Sgt. Virginia Painter, U. S. Recruiting Office, Allentown; and Mr. Frank Stachow, who is on the music staff of Lebanon Valley College. Earl A. Bender Mr. Bender, our chemistry and biology teacher is back after a year’s leave of absence—a Ford Foundation Scholarship enabled' him to further his education. He advises our snappy majorettes and bowls in his spare time. Graduate of Muhlenberg, he received his Master’s at Lehigh. He is working on his doctorate at Penn State. Norman E. Blose Equipped with a real understanding of students and their problems, Mr. Blose teaches junior high arithmetic. He lives in Slatedale and enjoys working his farm and raising chickens. A graduate of S.H.S. and Kutztown State College, Mr. Blose received his Master’s degree from Lehigh University. Peter DeQuinqua The man with nerves of iron—our driver training instructor, Mr. DeQuinqua—prepares for behind-thc-wheel adventures by acting as playground instructor in Scranton during the summer and assistant football coach for S.H.S. He is an alumnus of Scranton High and Kutztown State College. He is working on his Master’s degree at the University of Scranton. When We Entered Junior High, Robert J. Dreisbach A graduate of Lehighton High and Indiana State College with a Master’s degree from Bucknell, Mr. Dreisbach teaches junior high mathematics and junior business training. An all-around sports enthusiast, he likes to hunt, fish, ski. play tennis, bowl, and (on the quiet side) read.

Spending most of her time with music, Mrs. Evans is a member of the famous Bach Choir, leads the Slat-ington Music Club Chorus, and works with the U.C.C. choir. She graduated from S.H.S. and Westchester State College. Jay P. Hagenbuch Mr. Hagenbuch can be found among flying chips acting as shop instructor or in a cloud of water vapor doubling as junior high science teacher. He enjoys flying and fishing and hopes someday to travel to Alaska. He is a graduate of Bloomsburg Normal School and has received Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees from Penn State. Leah E. Herrity Mrs. Herrity teaches shorthand, office practice, and general clerical practice. In her leisure Mrs. Herrity enjoys sewing, gardening, and making.

Laid the Foundation for Our Lives. “Smile now,” says Rodney, as he snaps informal pictures of faculty members at the Christmas Dance and the Sweetheart Ball. Chaperones and faculty guests pause to pose in the late evening. Faculty members are always welcome—we couldn’t have a dance without them! With a lovely silver Christmas tree as a background are, first row: Mrs. Stevens, Mrs. Parsons, Mrs. Trollinger, Mrs. Horvath, Mr. Trollinger, Mrs. Rollin Jones, Mr. H. Snyder. Second row: Mr. Parsons, Dr. Stevens, Mr. Horvath, Mr. Rollin Jones, Mr. and Mrs. Reed, Mrs. H. Snyder, Mrs. Hunsberger, Mr. and Mrs. Herrity. Amid the hearts at the Sweetheart Ball, seated: Mrs. Trettel, Mrs. Kyrle Krause (Tri-Hi-Y Mother), Mrs. F. Snyder, Mrs. Bender, Mrs. Parsons, Mrs. Rollin Jones, Mrs. Trollinger, Mrs. Stevens, Mrs. Horvath. Standing: Mr. Parsons, Mr. Rollin Jones, Mr. Trettel, Mr. Trollinger, Mr. F. Snyder, Dr. Stevens, Mr. Horvath, Mr. Bender. mK , Working or Relaxing - They Enjoy It Together. Mr. Snyder, one of the faculty team’s foul shooters, racked up another point as the Slatington High Faculty defeated the Emmaus High Faculty for the second year straight. Two familiar faces around S.H.S. this year —Mrs. Margaret Stett-ner and Mr. Lee Kreid-ler—are student teachers who made our classes interesting and varied. “Oh, for that last-minute pause before the stampede to first period classes.” Miss Naylor, Mrs. Herrity, Mrs. Hunsburger, Mrs. Hicks, Mrs. Roeder, Miss Steckel, Mrs. Reed, and Miss Morgan pose for our photographer before they return to their rooms for the morning’s activities. “Oh, for one of those warm racoon coats.” Mr. Richard Jones and Mr. William Reese braved the wind of a bitter-cold Thanksgiving morning to check the attendance of the annual Turkey Day Game. Bill “Gaucho,” camp director, and our Slatington football coaches chat over a meal at football camp during summer of 1958. No basketball game is complete without the majorettes. The “Faculty High Steppers,” under the direction of Master Russell Stettler, provided their own entertainment at the half time of their own game. Look at that auditorium! The building is taking shape and it looks so-o-o large. Behold! The roof is on; the windows are in place. Our building is looking more like a school each day. It doesn’t look much like a corridor now—but that’s what it will be one of these days. Summer saw the work begin on the underpinnings and a firm foundation for our new school. Steel beams, concrete, bricks, man power—we can’t wait for the finished product. .Here We Look Forward to a New S.H.S. A few weeds, a little broom-sage, a beautiful view of Lehigh Cap—this was the land purchased for the new Slatington High School. All the dignitaries were here for the ground-breaking ceremonies. April, 1958, saw the band marching and Mr. Snyder, Mr. Edwards, Mr. Allen Shiffert, and Dr. Stevens ready to ply that shovel. At the expense of much rubber and shoe leather, each morning about 850 students arrive at S.H.S., and each afternoon 850 leave for home. The rubber is expended by those lucky ones who ride to school, either by school bus or by car. The native Slatingtonians who walk each day are responsible for the wear and tear on the foot gear. Those who reach school before 8:15 a.m. while away their moments in Smith Hall or in the Recreation Room. At 3:05 the bus students crash out through the big, green doors and board their respective buses for home. Five minutes later the final “mob of walkers and drivers” issues forth, and the edifices of Slatington Junior-Senior High become quiet, empty shells once more until the following morning. 24 Walking, or Driving, or Even by Bus-the Main Thing Is to Get Here on Time. The familiar orange and black colors of the school bus deposits its sleepy load of humanity at the high school door. Driver Ralph Jones watches his charges alight. Three wide-awake students brave the perils of early-morning traffic as they “hoof their way to school. Neither rain nor wind nor sleet nor snow can quell these students' desire to learn. The lucky, lazy lads who drive to school park their “wheels on the school parking lot. 25 Here in junior high, the idea of taking a trip was bom. We began to yearn for the voyage, and each day our yearning increased. FIRST ROW: L. E. Smith, L. Arndt, G. Millward, J. York, E. Kroboth, R. Stein, H. Strohl, L. Marsh. SECOND ROW: L. Kleppinger, L.

You should have been here to hear it at the Turkey-Day Pep Rally when they were practicing for the Palmerton game. ATLANT 1C OCEAN The decision has been made. Taking a trip is no longer just a fantasy; we are actually going. Now the striving for the goal begins. There are many places we could go, but we must decide upon a destination. Sophomore Class Officers and Advisors Bravely leading in the journey through high school are the four officers of the Class of 1961.

Here’s the “gang,” just relaxing after another session of hard work; however, the success of their play was well worth the effort. “Hold that pose,” exclaims Gary Gaukler, our official school photographer, as he tries to snap the picture before someone moves. The breathless moment has passed for our Junior Prom Court—we now know that Karen Rauch has been chosen Queen of the Junior Prom. Pictures-We Take Lots of Junior Pictures.

Suitcases must be packed, and last-minute details must be arranged. The day is almost here when we will say “Bon Voyage” and sail away forever. f. 59 i Senior Class Officers Our servants, yet our leaders, these four followed our wishes and led us to our desires. Our President, Sherwood Schearer, organized our many functions and presided over our class meetings. Charles Skutches, Vice-President, always was ready to give a hand, backing up the various projects. Ruth Carol Evans, Secretary, made herself handy with pen and paper, as she kept and recorded our meetings. Betty Lou Kemmerer, Treasurer, had the difficult job of collecting and recording all the class dues and other financial transactions of the class. ELIZABETH H. HUNSBERGER Behind the solid organization and firm purpose of the senior class, two people formed the main foundation, the roots of our class. Those were the senior class advisors. The snip-snip-snipping of scissors—this reminds us of the sewing of parasols, the clipping together of programs, the making of paper carnations. And all these things remind us of Mrs. Hunsberger, advisor for the class of ’59. For three years Mrs. Hunsberger, along with Mr. Horvath, has spent many afternoons helping to make dance decorations, advising the officers and committees, attending meetings, and giving an all-around helping hand. Not only to Mrs. Hunsberger do we owe great thanks, but to her husband for his diverse aid, also. and Advisors President—Sherwood Schearer Vice-President—Charles Skutches Secretary—Ruth Carol Evans Treasurer—Betty Lou Kemmerer Advisors—Mrs. Hunsberger, Mr. Horvath CLASS COLORS—Navy Blue nd Silver CLASS FLOWER—White Rose CLASS MOTTO—With the Ropes of the Past We Will Ring the Bells to the Future WILLIAM E. HORVATH Mr. William Horvath—where was it that he was last seen? Was it hacking down wild-cherry trees for the Senior Farewell? Or cutting out snowflakes for the Christmas Dance? Perhaps it was helping the officers pick committees. It may have been during a class meeting, setting us on the right road. Mr. Horvath, along with Mrs. Hunsberger, in his three years as class advisor, not only guided the class and gave valued advice but also pitched in and gave a real hand with the projects and tasks undertaken by the ’59’ers. A huge vote of thanks, Mr. Horvath! 61 BALLiet accomplished {lirt Look at Our Passports.

Lots of Senior Pictures. Dish-pan hands are in store for Carol and Ann Marie; however, they enjoy helping to serve on Career Day. Fran, Sheila, and Mike, as pages for the day, stand ready to greet our annual Career-Day speakers. “I wanna hot dog,” was the demand that kept those busy-bee seniors at work behind the stand at Victory Park on Thanksgiving Morning. 95 Sherwood makes that last and important check “Look-live animals!” Judy displays her talents in the experi- before leaving his science fair project on mental science line. display.

The Mothers stand proud and erect as the football captains pin “mums” on them at the Thanksgiving Pep Rally. Four local girls, B. Ibbotson, D. Gross, B. Kemmerer and B. Lewis, represented Slatington High School in the Model United Nations Assembly sponsored by the Y.M.C.A. held in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, March 20 and 21. The two remaining girls, Jeanette Frable and Shirley Fisher, reside in Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania. These girls comprised the delegation from Venezuela. Classes Without guidebooks and courses of instruction dealing with our foreign friends, we would be absolutely lost on our journey. Mr. Trollinger remains in the background as English students take turns speaking into the “mike” and learning how to use a tape recorder in oral expression. Language Will Not Be a Barrier, Miss Miller looks on as a student demonstrates the basic method of diagramming sentences in Sophomore English. Miss Morgan’s thrilling stories about Roman helmets, towers, and catapults make Ancient Rome seem to live again during Latin Class.

Business Students Make Arrangements, Students work hard in bookkeeping while Mr. Horvath warns: “Watch your debits and credits. They must balance at the end of the fiscal period.” As the students follow closely in their texts, Mr. Snyder points out an important fact in American history. History, Home Ec, Shop and P.D.- “The Government of the United States operates on a three-branched system,” explains Mr. Reese to his class in problems of democracy. “Forks go on the left; knives and spoons, on the right.” Mrs. Reed explains and demonstrates this principle in setting a table in the home economics class. Each One Will Be an Indescribable Aid “Do a good job on sanding those boards.” “Watch out for your fingers on that saw, Mr. Trettel in the industrial arts workshop. exclaims “One, two, three, four.” All girls’ eyes are on Miss Podlaski as she leads them in real precision drills in physical education class.

However, so long as we won the Palmerton game on Thanksgiving, the Slaters’ fans were well satisfied with this year’s season. Coach Fred Snyder and his assistants, Pete DeQuinqua and Rollin Jones, showed our team how to take defeat in good spirit and overcome difficulties with good sportsmanship.

Sandy will rule as Queen tomorrow at the Traditional Turkey-Day Game. 112 Slater spectators yell, “Get him, Hughes!” as Ronnie (No. 50) makes a run to down that “Blue Bomber” advance on Turkey Day. With Jim Fritzinger carrying the ball, how could we lose? Palmerton, our traditional foe, went down to a 25-0 defeat. The referee signals “touchdown” as Jim Fritzinger carries the ball across the goal line in our game against Stroudsburg. The Seniors who led our team on to victory are: John Chamberlain, Douglas Heckman, James Fritzinger, Fred Kochmaruk, Gerald Hadinger.

Although not too successful this year by common standards (a 6-25 record), Coach Lloyd Williams looks upon the 1958-59 season as another “building year.” Making a good start by “copping” the consolation prize in the Smith Hall Christmas Tournament, the team cooled off as the season progressed. But at the final game, the fans saw the Palmerton “Blue Bombers,” rated as one of the Lehigh Valley League’s top teams, narrowly avert a “Slater” upset. The Junior Varsity team had a 7-14 record. “Time out, Slatington!” calls the referee. Coach Williams briefs the boys quickly during a fast game at Smith Hall. In the corner picture we see another jump during the Lehighton game. “Get that ball,- Billy-O! We need those points!” Our junior varsity squad with Mr. Rollin Jones as coach.

The crack of bats, the smack of baseballs, the rush of bodies—all denote the advent of the 1959 baseball season. Coach William Reese developed the team; and, although the record of three wins and nine losses was not too successful, our players derived a great deal of enjoyment and building from this season. Our seniors on the baseball team are four excellent players and four we will really miss next season: J. Fritzinger, J. Shive, H. Mack, D. Heckman.

The Student Council of Slatington High School is the governing body of the school. The chief purpose of the Council is to foster good school spirit in all activities engaged in by the entire student body. The officers of Council are: Dianne Gross, President; Harry Ibbotson, Vice-President; Barbara Lewis, Secretary; Betty Lou Kemmerer, Treasurer. Student Council boys perform their daily task—filling the soft-drink machines. Student Council’s educational entry representing the courses “Look at all the sweets!” Attractive student council girls get the of study at S.H.S. won a $10 third prize in the local candy counter ready for lunchtime rush. Halloween parade. How efficient they are! With years of experience behind them, these senior girls know the library inside out. The Library Club Serves All. Everyone runs in and out of the library several times a day. Usually in a rush, he is thankful for the speedy desk service. The members of the club know what they are doing, and they do it well. These four people determined how successful our club would be. They worked well together—each one did his share. Secretary Ellouise Handwerk; Vice-President, Frances Reitz; President, Dianne Gross; Treasurer, Bruce Millward. Our poor books! They go through such wear and tear. Here come the juniors to the rescue! “There is so much to learn. Gee! I never knew the complications which arise when one works in a library.” The card catalog is introduced to new club members by Miss Morgan. The rays from one little candle of service spread afar through the darkened auditorium in a most impressive and solemn “tapping ceremony.” Amid “Oh’s” and “Ah’s” from the student body, one flame brought forth one-tenth of the senior class and one-fifth of the junior class to become members of the National Honor Society. National Honor Society Future Teachers Club “I’ve always wanted to be a teacher.” This is the reason for the monthly gathering of the F.T.A. under the supervision of Miss Naylor. Among the many projects of the future teachers are student teaching, baby sitting for parents who wish to attend P.T.A. meetings, and aiding teachers so all may gain experience and knowledge concerning future professions. High temperature? Fast pulse? Bloody nose? Whatever the ailment, the future nurses are on the job to remedy the disaster. The highlight of our year is a field trip to some hospital so that members can see nursing conditions at first hand. Future Nurses Club Future Business Leaders Club “What is the proper attire for an efficient secretary?” questions President Barbara Bilheimer, as she points out the two club members portraying the well-dressed secretary and the inappropriately-dressed one. The purpose of the Future Business Leaders Club of S.H.S. is to prepare students to become effective leaders in the hectic business world of today. Marching feet, white gloves, blue and white uniforms, instruments of all kinds, the shrill of a whistle, the raised baton —all these signify our band. How proud we can be when we see them marching in parades, hear them performing at the annual concert, and follow their lead in cheering at the games!

How well our majorettes and color guards represented us during football season and in parades throughout the valley! FIRST ROW: Brenda Gruber. Brenda Zellner, Carol Turoscy, Felicia Evans, Gloria Kern, Sandra Nothstein, Judy Paules, Colleen Burke, Barbara Lewis, Polly Ann Reese, JoAnne Papay, Sandra Men-gel, and Linda Gruber.

Majorettes, Cheerleaders, Color Guards The majorettes, color guards, and cheerleaders relied upon the leadership of these four girls. Left to right: Judy Paules, head majorette; Betty Lou Kemmerer, captain of the varsity cheerleaders; Angharad Jones, captain of the J.V. squad; and Judy McNertney, captain of the color guards. Leading the cheers and boosting school spirit was the job of the varsity cheerleaders—a job well done. FIRST ROW: Joan Kern, Janice Szapacs. SECOND ROW: Carole Grammes, Betty Lou Kemmerer. THIRD ROW: Mary Ellen Papay, Sheila Wescoe. 128 The three activities represented here are very time-consuming; however, just seeing the girls perform proves that their time has not been wasted. Other schools admire the precision drills of our majorettes and color guards and envy our fine cheering squads. Everyone knows who we are, for we are known far and near for our skill. Boost Our Morale. Supporting the junior varsity team are, first row: Grace Diehl, Angharad Jones. Second row: Cheryl Behler, Sharon Handwerk. Third row: Cheryl Deibert, Pat Salash. Last year something new came into being at our basketball games. Everyone enjoyed the flag-twirling drills presented by our color guards, and this season their drills were really entertaining. From “I Been Workin’ on de Railroad’ to “Ye Banks and Braes, ’ our S.H.S. chorus presented a superb concert with much variety. We were so proud when three boys and a girl were chosen for Eastern District chorus. These four were Linda Blose, Larry Correll, Ronald Frederick, and Barry Snyder. A special tone of appreciation goes Pennsylvania All-State Chorus. Excited soloists make last-minute preparations with Mrs. Evans. We must have a perfect rendition! SEATED: Ruth C. Evans.

Tri-Hi-Y Club Knock! Knock! “Would you like to buy some Christmas ornaments?” This was the familiar question of a loyal Tri-Hi-Y member trying to help earn money for her club’s activities. “Wie geht es Ihnen?” “Bonjour!” Similar exclamations can be heard as members gather to begin their discussion of our foreign neighbors and their problems. Still another project of I.F.C. is the C.A.R.E. package sent to a needy country each year. International Friendship Club Dramatic Club Under the direction of Mr. Trollinger, the Dramatic Club of S.H.S. has three main functions: to present to the students tips on acting, to teach them to reach desired effects through the use of make-up, and to acquaint them with staging of all types. Varsity “S” Club Is the Varsity “S” Club an important one? Some folks would say, “No. Their meetings are not regular. They only sponsor one event in the year—the Men’s Faculty Basketball game.” But we know better—this is the group that holds the letter “S”—they are the best athletes in our school, the ones who win the sports events gallantly and lose them with honor. An important club—we say unanimously, “Yes!” Latin Club “Salvete!” “Ave!” These are only a few of the Latin salutations heard as the Latin Club dons its togas once again for the annual Roman Banquet. As other officers applaud, John De Sanctis, consul of the Latin Gub, presents Miss Morgan with a token of our esteem. Pictured here are Michael Petrus, Judy Haydt, Miss Morgan, John De Sanctis, Peggy Jo Salash. Hi-Y Club The Hi-Y Club’s platform for the year is “to create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character.” Our sincere and capable leader was Mr. Russell Stettler. Although the Hi-Y Club is of a serious nature, we have had our share of fun this year, too. Remember the Christmas party we shared with the Tri-Hi-Y? The Slate “Let’s go to press!” says Editor-in-Chief Barbara Ibbotson as her assistants, Judy McNertney, Barbara Schleicher, Judy Lilly, Gail Mack, JoAnne Serfass, Diane Gross, and Dale Ringer, help put the finishing touches to an edition of the Slate. Parallel bars, ropes, weights, mats, springboard, trampoline—all these spell out the name Gym Club. A very large club, the boys who belong strive to improve their bodies physically in speed, stamina, co-ordination, and strength. Gym Club, directed by Mr. Lloyd Williams, meets once a week. Boys? Gym Club Sportsmen Club Braving the wonders of the outdoors, the Sportsmen Club exhibits its fine fishing techniques and longs for the season to open. Instructing in casting techniques is Mr. Trainer of our local Sporting-Goods Center. Pro and Con Club Starting with a scramble debate, our continual success led us to the campuses of the University of Pennsylvania and Temple University, where we made many new and interesting friends. Photography Club Clear your eyes from the blinding glare of the flashbulbs. Our amateur photographers are busily expending film in order to learn more about their hobby, photography. Under the able supervision of Mr. Donald Jones, the “camera bugs.” Art Club A dab of color, a swipe of the brush, a molded figurine—in Art Club Mr. Jones helps Slatington’s future Rembrandts to develop their artistic skills. The Art Club meets bi-weekly and tries to give the students a free hand in developing creative abilities. Senior Activities The gay whirl of parties and entertainments before departure was so enjoyable. These good times will never be forgotten. Larry Correll introduces some of the cast of the junior play at one of the rehearsals: M. Berger. D. Gross, G. Mack, C. Miller, S. Mengel, J. Chamber-lain, M. Morris, M. Lazor-check, D. Musselman, R. Evans, and H. Ibbotson. Busy stagehands, M. Gusick and R. Jones, helped make our play a huge success. Dramatically We Create Scenes The title of our Junior play, Star Light, Star Bright, brings back to mind the lively, teen-age romance in which everybody wished on the same star for something different. Mrs. Edith Roeder, so vivacious herself, efficiently cast us all in starry roles. Our master of ceremonies, C. Skutches, clears the stage for action. The judge, Mr. Thoburn V. Barker, Professor of Speech at Lehigh University, had a real problem in choosing the best at our Junior Declamation Contest. Straight-faced top winner David Musselman, told his funny tale of boys taking their first smoke. Martha Layton, who won second prize, had a more plaintive tale of a child who had gone to heaven. Michael Lazorcheck received the third-place honorable mention. In the picture we see Martha Layton, Frances Reitz, Barbara Lewis, Judy Paules, Sandra Mengel, Mr. Barker, Michael Lazorcheck, David Musselman, Rodney Mummey, and Class President Sherwood Schcarer.

The radiant bride receives congratulations and good luck wishes from her brother and his girlfriend, Peggy. and Characters “On the Boards ” Flowers, rice, hectic activity, a worried father, a beautiful bride, and a brave groom fascinated all who witnessed the Senior Class presentation of Father of the Bride. The comedy introduced a typical American family with a beautiful daughter who wanted to marry her dream boy. The audience howled at the father’s torment as he tried to finance a “terribly simple” wedding. Dramatic Coach Carl B. Trollinger worked hard with us to produce this excellent comedy. Through a state of shock and delirium over the sudden turn of events, Mr. Banks faintly discerns the voices of his wife and daughter, the future bride, as they plan the wedding. Dunstan explains his matrimonial plans and ambitions to Mr. and Mrs. Banks and Kay Banks. Dunstan’s future bride sheds tears of despair at the realization of his aspirations. A flower stall in the foreground. Master of Ceremonies Charles Skutches at the “mike,” radiant Rrom Queen Betty Lou, and her proud escort, Dougie. The little ones? Oh, yes!

Beaux and Belles Dana It all began with making flowers of crepe paper— and so it went on—planning, wrorking, decorating, painting, and (hardest of all) finding enough umbrellas. We were working forward to April 12 and our Junior Prom. Memorable to the chaperones was the French sidewalk cafe, which was their haunt for the evening. The rustic garden house of pine boughs made an ideal setting for the ladies of ’ the court to meet their escorts. Don Neith and his orcherstra added the finishing touch to make our April-Shoivers evening a real “ball.” Look at our handsome court!

After her coronation, our ’59 Sweetheart reigned over her domain of cupids and sweethearts. Amid Christmas Settings. Ah! the moment has finally arrived. Miss Linda Blose was crowned queen of the ’59 Sweetheart Ball by last year’s Sweetheart, Jayne Bolton. Murmurs flowed through the crowd. “This suspense is awful!” someone remarked. They were dancing the Sweetheart Waltz. The men faculty members had the task of choosing the Senior Sweetheart of 1959—and her court. Carol Grammes rose and grasped the “mike”— “Linda Blose is the Sweetheart,” she said. Needless to say this was the climax of an evening filled with hearts and cupids. Our ’59 Sweetheart and her court dazzle all their subjects. Brian Gruber, Ruth Carol Evans, Lawrence Jones, Judy Paules, Linda Blose, Ronald Frable, Sandra Mengel, James Shive, Betty Lou Kemmerer, Lewis Rauch. Dancing on the deck of the ship to the sweet strains of Joe Resetar’s orchestra, we all had a “ball” at the Senior Farewell. Senior President Sherwood Schearer and his lady, Cynthia Cohen, greet William 0. Jones, President of the sophomore class, whose date is Ellen Krause. “We’ll hold up the dancing, girls, until your picture has been taken, Joe Resetar announced. Our senior girls looked lovely that night, don’t you agree? On Ship's Deck We Swing Romantically The Senior Farewell, last big semi-formal of the year, is always the one bidding farewell to the graduating class. This year as its theme, the sophomores chose “Bon Voyage” and converted Smith Hall to the deck of a ship for one evening. The stage setting was beautiful—an island complete with grass shack and palm trees! “Isn’t this nice—serving on the main deck!” and food was most welcome at intermission time as well as during the greater part of the evening. 144 With the memory of a wonderful time locked inside themselves, the senior band members relax to discuss the beautiful decorations of the annual band dance. C. Eckhart, C. Foulke, D. Musselman, E. Andrulevich, J. Chamberlain and P. Schneck (not in picture) were the committee members. Senior Phyllis Schneck (third from left) and her staff provided excellent refreshments as a climax for a fine evening of dancing. With a wave of her wand, the band’s fairy godmother transformed the gym into a magic fairyland with a sky of musical notes under which the students of Slatington High whirled to countless recordings. aid Hum to Strains of RHAPSODY IN BLUE. With theJights of Smith Hall blazing late into the evening, the band members strove —and succeeded—to bring Slatington High School one of the most beautiful and unusual dances of the year. Walking through a huge sheet of music, the dancers entered a land of musical symbols and flower-decked harps. The band members created the fairyland by using enormous bunches of lilacs and hundreds of paper, musical symbols which were typical of the dance theme, Gershwin’s immortal “Rhapsody in Blue.” Through Picturei a Journey We’l “Now to your left can be seen the Eternal Peace Light which has burned, except during World War II, as a symbol of peace since its dedication in 1938 on the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg.” Even before the “crack o’ dawn,” we were long on the road to one of the best-organized class trips in S.H.S. history. We were happy to share this long-anticipated journey with some of our favorite chaperones—The H. P. Snyders, The Horvaths, The Huns-bergers. and Mr. DeQuinqua. For most of us, this was our first trip south of the Mason-Dixon Line and a jaunt which we shall never forget. “The changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers, which you have just witnessed is performed every hour of the day throughout the entire year. Serving in this guard is considered the greatest peacetime military honor obtainable.” Ve Relive the Guided Tour lemember Ever More. “If you look to your left as the bus rounds the turn, you will see the raising of the flag on Iwo Jinia, as depicted in this Marine Monument in honor of Marines who have died for their country.” r “Although it has been standing for ages and has suffered under the tortures of fire, the White House, home of our presidents, remains a stately mansion, open not only to the dignitaries of the world but also to the humblest citizen.” “With squinting and imagination, you can sec gentlemen-farmers and their ladies strolling in all their colonial finery beneath the monstrous trees. Mount Vernon now stands precisely as it did when George and Martha entertained the Marquis de La Fayette over 180 years ago.” “How traditional can ya’ get?” is what we’ve always said about the Big Picture that is taken with the Capitol looming in the background. But look! There’s never been one as good as ours! “How Can We Leave Thee . . . How Can We From Thee Part?’ “Is my hat on straight?” “Oh, this gown won’t stay closed!” The big line is forming for the processional on Baccalaureate night, 1959. Major W. Trevor Wagg, the Reverend Luke E. Rau, and the Reverend Jesse Blankenship pause to chat after the Baccalaureate Service. Pastor Rau was the local cleric chosen this year to preach the sermon. Our honored guest. Dr. John N. Snyder, himself a graduate of S.H.S., brings a message for the future to our seniors. Judy McNertney and Diane Owens, valedictorian and salutatorian. respectively, pose with their Commencement speaker. Impressive speeches on the Conant Report were made by our speakers this year. Sherwood Shearer spoke for the college preparatory students; Ann Marie Scott represented the business education group; and Raymond Gruber appeared for the general curriculum.

Therefore, it is difficult for us to write this page—on which we can only attempt to offer our acknowledgements and thanks for many kindnesses toward REFLECTIONS this year. To Mr. George Conrad and his pleasant wife—our thanks for your time spent, for your patient “returning for more,” and for your fine professional pictures. To Mr. Donald Jones, Gary Gaukler, and The Mummey Studio—our appreciation for your assistance in taking and arranging informal pictures. To the Port of New York Authority, 111 Eighth Avenue at 15th Street, Newr York 11, New York—our appreciation for the beautiful end-page picture and permission to use it. To the Lansford office of The Morning Call—our gratitude for securing from you the pictures of action sports shots which we had not the skill to take ourselves. To Fred Kochmaruk, our art editor—thanks for the fine art work that graces the division pages. It took time, effort, and patience on your part. All we can say is “Thank you all.” Custodians Cart and Carry for All. A familiar sight these days is the one pictured here. Our custodians are loading the truck for another trip to the new school. Packing and moving will double the work of these men for months to come. The familiar faces of William Jones, Vincent Bernhardt, Harold Millward, and Ralph Jones are pictured here.
