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.

April, 1958, saw the band marching and Mr. Snyder, Mr. Edwards, Mr. Allen Shiffert, and Dr. Stevens ready to ply that shovel.
