Here is our story, from the time when we were mere sprouts in the soil of S. S. Palmer High School, to the time when we blossomed forth as Seniors. Shiftless little seeds we were, wandering aimlessly about, when suddenly our teachers seized us and sowed us firmly in the fertile soil of P. H. S. While they cultivated and guided us, we grew into young but unsteady plants. Then, as growing trees, we craved food and nourishment, and this we found in the many activities afforded us in our school. With these new interests we be- ,X gan to broaden and, while our limbs reached higher and higher, our roots , spread deeper and deeper. ll! When the storms came with their wind K' and rain, we searched for health and l strength to keep our branches in tact. 1 W'e turned to sports and there, through K competition and sportsmanship, we MMI' lllwll learned to withstand the elements of ' 7 l nature. l Soon, as budding underclassmen, we became curious as to what was in store rr for us. Peeking out from our tight, green shells, we looked forward with anticipa- tion to a bright and promising future. Suddenly our opportunity arrived and, blossomed forth as mature Seniors. The tree had reached its greatest height and I we had reached our goal, graduation. u1 '1 I nl fm li l 5 flinging open our graceful petals, we X . In Y ' 'll' N J N .

Mr. Donald Denniston, a mid-westerner by birth, came to Palmerton in 1926 to replace Dr. Roeder as Principal of Stephen S. Palmer High School. Before coming to Palmerton, Mr. Denniston had been teach- ing in Sioux City, Iowa. He is an avid basketball fan, and rarely misses a ame. He also enjoys a good football game and can be seen cheering the team to victory. In the 8 often winterhe enjoys ice skating at the Memorial Park. Our Principal is also an active member of the Board of Trade, the Exchange Club, and the Ameri- can Legion. Office Secretaries Helen Olivia, Anna Becker, and Gladys Zeigenfus. Mr. Denniston at his familiar post. Dr. jesse Roeder first arrived in Palmerton in 1921 as a member of the high school faculty. He was soon advanced to the position of Principal and in 1926 became Superintendent of Schools in Palmerton. It is Dr. Roeder who sees that P.H.S. has all the modern facilities possible. I-le attends many state and national conventions in order to keep up with the latest trends in education. When asked what he does in his spare time, Dr. Roeder smiles and says he has so many activities that he can hardly squeeze in all of them. He enjoys playing golf and bridge. The Board of Trade, Lehigh Valley Motor Club, Board of Health, County Crippled Children's Committee, and the American Legion also claim much of his time outside of school. MRS. RITA XV.

No one will ever forget our class parties and the good times we had at our annual outings at Saylor's Lake. The high point of our junior year was the Halloween Social. For weeks prior to the big event the members of the class worked hard to make our social the best ever given at Palmerton High. During the day we struggled with Mr. Eckert's plane geometry propositions and Mr. Bl'ynn's history tests. We thought we'd never pass some of those difficult courses. MR. GEORGE R.

The organization of a lost and found depart- ment is another activity of the student council. Under the management of Ker- ala johnson, junior, this branch of the council op- erates after school for the students' convenience. 74eS Completing its fourth year of opera- tion, the student council has continued to serve as the voice of the student body. This year under the able guidance of Mr. Conrad Wilker the council was es- pecially active. Peter Blynn was elected by the stu- dent body to serve as President during our Senior year. While in office, Peter led meetings of the council, introduced lyceum speakers, and helped to organize the student court.

In order to carry out this project an amendment was drawn up and passed by the student body giving the council the power to establish the Court. Edward Shiner, junior, was elected by student vote to be the judge of the court. Tom Naratil, Senior, was chosen as assistant judge. One jury member from each grade was also selected. Serv- ing as Secretary was jean Rabenold. The court conducts the trial of all cases of rule violations submitted by members of the hall patrol. 746 P ' aj an sm: This year was a big one for our school paper, The Mirror.

The Blue Bombers raised the curtain on the 1951 season with a surprisingly easy 36-I2 triumnh over Xwhitehall High School. joe Foran's veteran team displayed superbly co-ordinated line and back- field play which was to be one of its standout features during the entire season. Holding "Reds" Featherman and his teammates in their own territory most of the game, the Bombers defeated Stroudsburg by a I3-0 margin. The third game of the season against Catty found the Bombers' a seven point underdog. Unleashing a powerful ground attack, the team came from behind in the last four minutes of play to edge out Cata- sauqua, I8-15. Playing under the lights at Bangor, the Bombers scored a quick touchdown in the first few minutes of play. and were never headed as they won 27-6. The next game on tap saw the mighty Koncrete Kids from Nor- thampton, league winners for the past eight years, crumble 32-0 under the power of the Blue and White of P.H.S. ,, For the first time in the history of football at Palmerton, the Lehigh Valley League crown and an undefeated season were both in sight as the Bombers opposed the Green Hornets at Emmaus. Sporting victory smiles are Assistant Coaches Holly wood and Blynn and Head Coach Foran. Going into the game a seven point underdog did not seem to affect the Bombers as they scored the second time they got the ball. From this point on, sustained drives sent Werkheiser, Blynn, the Shiner brothers, and Meinhart into paydirt, as the Hornets were whipped 41-7. Returning to the home stamping grounds, the Bombers, after a slow first hal, teed off on the Lehighton squad and blasted the Indians 33-0. Swooping down for the finale, the Bombers en- countered the Slatington High s uad on an ice frozen field before almost four thousancii anxious fans. Early in the first quarter "Andy" Wasilkowski swept 28 yards through the Slatington team for a touch own. Doug Shiner promptly picked a fumbled pass out of the air and, aided by fine blocking, ran the rest of the way for a TD. Wasilkowski scored twice more, on an intercepted pass and on a short line buck, to put the final score at 25-0. The Zinc Boro Lads in winning eight straight games and their first Lehigh Valley League Cham- ionship displayed the brand of ball playing and fine sportsmanship that is the dream of every coach. This is partly what helped the Palmerton High squad to be ranked fifth in District XI and twentieth in Eastern Pehnsylvania. The Bombers who--voted as being instrumental in the team's becoming the only undefeated squad in District XI-were placed on the All3Lehigh Valley -l I Fast action in the Slatington contest. first team were: Dick Werkheiser, left endg Peter Bobita, left tackleg Eddie Wentz, left guardg Tom Naratil, centerg and Andy Vifasilkowski, fullback.

Coach Joe Foran molded his team around the two sharp-shooting guards, Harry Mihalik and Fred Oravec. Richard Werkheiser and Tom Naratil provided the little height that was to be had, while the fine ball handling of Ed Shiner and George Perish aided the team a great deal. Other capable reserves were Stanley Mesaros, Doug Shiner, Richard Merics, and Steve Sebo. First raw: R. Merics, H. Mihalik, F. Oravec, E. Shiner, R. V'erkheiser. Set-and row: Coach 1. Foran, S.

The rest of the exhibition games brought their share of thrills and the Bomb- ers hit their stride winning their first few league games before fal- tering and ending up with a 4-3 first-half record. The second half ended the same way to give the team an 8-6 record in league com- petition. Fred Oravec, who was the team's high scorer, and Harry Mihalik were selected to the All-Lehigh Valley quintet. he lore' CIOSH hot. KH l to h yguarded b, . i.v.uP5 soot.

Captained by Ann Barnett, the bomberettes used their height ad- vantage and accuracy. to post their perfect record. In doing so, they posted scores seldom heard of in girls' competition. Katherine Feder, junior, and Sophomores Adela Garcia and Catherine Werkheiser provided the scoring punch for the team, while Senior guards Joanne Matuska, Betty Homewood, and Ann Barnett did an excellent job in controlling the banking boards. Other worthy re- serves were Shirley Nothstein, Margie Andrews, Dorothy Buhay, Ellen Schuler, Nancy jendricks, Marie Silliman, and Rose Neff. 19 A xc- ,. E. Sw M Feder jumps for a rebound.

Interest and competition was exceptionally keen this year among the numerous teams coached by helpful Senior girls. Each contest was played under the official rules of the game with referees and time keepers aiding in all pro- cedures. Probably the highlight of the season was the final event of the year, the intramural track meet, in which the boys also held their events. Plans are being prepared to make this an annual event. Miss Schegel and her staff of girls who helped so will- ingly in the planning and presentation of this fine program are to be congratulated for the fine job they did.

Except for one shower we had a beautiful day to enjoy swimming and boating. Indoor games plus a never-ending suplply of cokes made it an unforgettable ay of fun.

' aw aafwaa We, the Class of 1952, find it difficult to say good-bye. But we have reached the all important point in our career -graduation-the time when the cherished, long-awaited diplomas will be placed in our eager hands. Our thoughts automatically turn to the day when we embarked on our voyage through Palmerton High School. The menacing waves of knowledge lashed angrily at our ship. We were destined for unknown joys and difficulties. As we reached our second year, with an eye to the future, we planned our course through uncharteted seas. Only with the aid of our sister-ships-Juniors, Seniors and faculty--were we able to survive. By our third year of service we had acquired sea legsg we were now more adapted to the routine of our duties. We set the pace for leadership, both in sports and social activities. Throughout our fourth year we displayed our athletic prowess by an undefeated football squad, and our dra- matic ability in the presentation of the comedy, "Growing Pains." With our journey nearing its end we all looked forward to the Senior Prom. Finally our ship will drop anchor, our destination shall have been reached. With happiness for our success, but regret for those who have not completed the journey, we shall receive our cherished diplomas at Commencement. Some of our shipmates are looking forward to another voyage on the Sea of Knowl- edge, while others are satisfied with the knowledge they have acquired on this trip. It is safe to say, however, that proud of our past achievements and anxious for new opportunities, we will throw ourselves whole-heartedly into every worthy and noble venture. Obstacles are but a challenge to our courage. We recognize and appreciate the efforts exerted by our teachers, through whose guidance and patience we have come prepared to accept those challenges which will be offered in the wider fields opening before us. Those of us boarding the ship again, regretfully wave good-bye to those on shore-our loyal friends, teachers, and the sheltering arms of our Alma Mater. The joyful years that we have spent here we will never forget-Bon Voyage. Patron .lid A8rP Super Market Alliance Sand Company Ash's Haberdashery B. W.
