The Curtain Rises All the world's a stage and the men and women merely players. They have their exits and entrances, and one man in his time plays many parts. The class of 1961 at Wyomissing High School sees its education as a parallel to a stage production. Once amateurs, we read our lines fearfully. Yet, be- cause of the patience, understanding, and necessary firmness of our directors, producers, and critics, we have become the stars. Whether hashing out a scene, traveling on the road, or preparing for our star performance, we have always received not only knowledge, but also a maximum of comradeship from our mentors. It is to these individuals, our faculty, that we humbly dedicate this volume of the Colo- phon - the final offering whose pages record all the fond memories we gathered living and learning on the stage of our Alma Mater. Knowledge for all good and right, Courage, strength to seek the light, Bearing high your torch of learning, May we keep it bright. Alma Mater, to you, We will always be true, Hail to thee and praise forever, Pure white and clearest blue. Wyomissing we sing, Praises to you we bring, Holding fast your pride and beauty, Leadership in everything. Our spirit will not fall, Alma Mater, we'll recall, Memories of you we'll treasure, Wyomissing High- 2-Xmhvmirz With his mouth full of news which he will put on us as Pigeons feed their young Then shall we be news-cramm,cl All the better . . .

Because we have never paused to define out goals we have moved from one nostrum to another. The easier the method of solution, the quicker the public ac- ceptance. This, despite the fact that we have been warned that there is no royal road to learn- ing. And yet we gullibly give credence to ideas that guidance counselors will map our future, learning machines will make for easy acquisition of knowledge, and testing will reveal our caf pacities. Despite all the clamor of interest groups and super-salesmen in education, man must still struggle to attain worthy ends. Victory goes to those that labor at their assigned tasks. Past civilizations have perished because they have sought the easy road. There is still no substitu- tion for honest toil. Education is still a matter of basically disciplining the individual to meet the high challenge of living within the decent bounds of society. Anything less than this is anarchy. And anarchy is the antithesis of de- mocracy. Iefferson clearly saw the need for ed- ucation in a society such as ours. But his con- cept embraced a scheme of education which em- braced those who were mentally able and actually desirous of better understanding their cultural past. But this takes labor -- the labor of those who would be leaders -- leaders for a democratic society. This is not an easy road, nor is it a road for all. Thou weft my guide, philosopher, and friend. ALEXANDER POPE. We are living in the Atomic Age . To some, this indicates futility - a hopeless race between civilization and suicide. To others, it signifies the maddening complexity of modern life - the noise, the speed, the pressures which drive some people to distraction and many people to various types of escapism. The truly educated person must reject both fatalism and escapism. Instead, he must develop a wholesome personal philosophy to give direction and meaning to his own life. He must have faith - something in which to believe. He must have hopes, ideals, moral purposes beyond himself - so that he may live and work for others and not just for himself. Also, the educated person must recognize that knowledge can be used for good, for human betterment. He must accept the be- lief that whatever problems man has created, he can also solve. If education can accept this forward-look- ing, positive viewpoint, if the educated man is willing to employ his knowledge for human betterment instead of personal gain and pleasure, then the Atomic Agef' may become the golden age of human history. 8 E The School Board, Mr. John W.

Administration We bear it calmly, though a ponderous woe. -JOHN POMFERT. Mr. Allen W. Rank, who has been a member of the faculty since 1926, serving as principal from 1930 to 1948 and supervising principal un- til 1954, now devotes his time to the supervision of the school district. The efficiency with which Wyomissing High School's educational program is carried out is a re- sult of the combined efforts of Mr. Allen W. Rank, supervising principal, and Mr. B. Henry Shafer, high school principal. Mr. Rank, who attended Princeton Uni- versity, did graduate work at Harvard Graduate School and received his master's degree from Co- lumbia University, has been a member of the faculty since 1926. He served as principal from 1930 until 1948 when he also undertook the office of supervising principal. Since 1954, he has de- voted his time solely to the supervision of the school district. Mr. Shafer, who joined the school staff in 1955 in the capacity of principal, graduated from Freeburg High School and Susquehanna and Co- lumbia Universities. He is now working for his doctorate at the University of Maryland. In addition to his administrative duties, Mr. Shafer serves as a guidance counselor and teaches Problems of Democracy to the senior class. Mrs. Miller, office receptionist, switchboard operator and secretary, handles all correspondence and prepares official forms and grade transcripts. Mrs. Troutman is in charge of all school money, issues checks, orders supplies, and checks at- tendance. English Reading maketh a full man, conference a ready Mr. Russell T. Milford in- structs the sophomores, jun- iors, and seniors in the fine points of English grammar. Tl The junior high school students are introduced to the funda- mentals of good English by Mrs. Getz and Mrs. Houck. Such basic skills as spelling, writing, use of the dictionary, or- ganization, punctuation, and analysis of sentences are mastered by the seventh and eighth graders, then employed in the Writing of book re- ports, short themes, and letters: A developmental reading program, initialed last year and con- ducted by Mrs. Houck, is centered around the Science Research As- sociates Reading Laboratory. This program teaches the students the mechanics of reading, helps them increase their vocabularies, and de- velops their reading speed as well as their comprehension. This is supplemented by the Scott-Foresman Reading Service, begun in the second quarter, which also stress- es proficiency in reading. By using these materials, stu- dents learn to analyze and cor- rect their vvork and strive toward eliminating errors. S S i Mrs. Helen Houck ac- quaints seventh, eighth, and ninth grade with the me- chanics of English and Sowers. speech. Mrs. Clinton Getz, who teaches junior high school English, answers a question posed by B. I2 Humanities The English course is an integral part of the student's curriculum, especially in senior high school. The juniors and seniors receive their instruction from Mr. Milford, the ninth and tenth grades, from Miss Kresge. Freshmen are drilled in writing sentences clearly and correctly and use their acquired knowledge in composing book reports and short essays. The sophomores and juniors use the Readers' Digest to help them increase their vocabularies. Seniors write a theme each Friday, often seeking the aid of a thesaurus to enrich their compositions. They also use the Gray Books, comprehensive workbooks which intensive- ly review grammar and vocabulary. Sophomores are introduced to classical literature by lulius Caesar, juniors are involved with American writers, and seniors are shown the myriad of English authors. In order to graduate, each senior must write an Investigative Theme on a literary topic. The great value of such an undertak- ing lies in its preparation for col- lege work and in the fact that it provides the individual with a chance for self expression and aids him in developing a logical writing style. f Mrs. Getz and E. Smith appear to be amused by an unusual occurrence in an eighth grade reading class. Mr. Milford and B. Paine give their attention to a query during a short grammar quiz. 13 English man, and writing an exact man. --FRANCIS BACON. f -1 et- 9 .wt 'V Z-HY Mrs. Houck endeavors to expose her pupils to famous authors, evidenced by the bulletin board display about Dickens. mia i J l Lf i Miss Leah Marie Kresge, a new faculty mem- ber this year, teaches French and English to ninth through twelfth grades.

Mrs. Millet introduces spoken French to grade school students and Miss Kresge, a new faculty mem- ber, provides more advanced training. First year French acquaints the student with basic conversa- tional patterns and language structure, while the sec- ond year develops increased fluency in oral commun- ication and broadens grammatical concepts. Sup- plementary reading increases the knowledge of the civilization and culture of the country. Miss Kresge demands, Who put those sentences on the board? but S. Barnette, L. Zalewski, S. Schad, N. Scott, B. Andrews, and M. Rea are amused by her mock seriousness. i Comment allez-vous? Mrs. Millet helps her seventh grade class with correct pronounciation, a vital part of learning the language. Humanities Spanish and Latin languages, and stolen the scraps. -WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE. Spanish, an increasingly popular language at Wyomissing High School, is ably taught to sopho- mores, juniors, and seniors by Mrs. Knipe. Because she believes that students can acquire a more com- prehensive knowledge of the language through oral' aural practice, Mrs. Knipe conducts many of her classes in Spanish. Once the student has mastered basic forms of grammar and conversation in the first year, he is ready to undertake more difficult trans- lations and to learn about the background and customs of the people of Mexico. Mrs. Knipe also conducts a senior elective Psychology-Sociology course in seminar fashion, which allows each student to analyze himself and improve his social relationships. The informal atmosphere of Mrs. Knipe's psy- chology classes encourages senior students E. Jones, B. Heckman, and M. Johnston to present their opinions. Because the basis for the Romance Languages is Latin, most ninth and tenth grade students become well acquainted with the fundamental aspects of Latin grammar before they undertake Spanish or French. During the first year, Mrs. Schrack stresses vocabulary and grammar so that myths and portions of Caesar may be translated in the second year. Those who wish may elect a third or fourth year of Latin in which Virgil's Aeneid and Cicero's Orations Against Cataline are read, respectively. This year the second and fourth year classes traveled to Philadelphia to attend the Annual Latin Festival in observance of National Latin Week. Mrs. Norman Knipe explains the conjugation of a new verb to a second year Spanish class. M. Westkott, M. DeLong, 1. Kitzmiller, and L.

The Social Studies course, a compulsory major in the high school curriculum, enables stu- dents to understand the complexities of con- temporary civilization. Seventh graders receive instruction in world history from Mr. Reitz, and learn important geo- graphical features of the world from Mr. Good- ling. In eighth grade, students acquire a general knowledge of the history of their country, also from Mr. Reitz. Freshmen are instructed in Pennsylvania history and civics by Mr. Geben- sleben, in which they learn the governmental functions of the state. Mrs. Schrack also teaches a ninth grade civics class this year. Sophomores are again exposed to world history, taught by Mr. Gebensleben, and juniors delve more deeply into American history, con- centrating on the Constitution, the Civil War, and the World Wars. As seniors, students are instructed by Mr. Shafer in a course concerned with Problems of Democracy. They explore such things as the organization and function of the Communist Party, education, presidential elec- tions, and local issues. A trip to the Court House is a traditional and interesting part of the course. Social Studies Mr. Reitz reviews homework questions in a junior high class as B. Coblentz, M. Horst, and B.

In order to establish a sound backgroundlfor college entrance each student is offered a varied pro- gram in mathematics. This course consists of arithmetic, algebra, plane and solid geometry, trigonometry, and calculus. This year, because of the emphasis placed on mathematics and science, Wyomissing has initiated an accelerated course in which plane and solid geometry are incorporated into the eleventh grade curriculum so that trigonometry and calculus may be elected in the senior year. The seventh and eighth grades, taught by Miss Brunner, are drilled in the development of skills and accuracy in fundamentals. Various shortcuts as well as first steps in algebra and geometry are introduced. First year algebra under the direction of Mr. Weik, is taught to the ninth grade students. Second year algebra, taught by Mr. Brubaker, instructs tenth graders in solving equations, square roots, and factoring. Great emphasis is placed upon independent and spontaneous thinking. The eleventh grade develops a skill in logical thinking through the study of plane and solid geometry. The senior course, under the instruction of Mr. Hartman, is two-fold. The first semester of work deals with trigonometric calcu- lations and the other with solid geometric figures. Calculus will be taught next year. This course pro- vides a strong foundation for students who wish to continue mathematics in college. Also offered to seniors is a math review course to prepare them for College Board Examinations and an advanced algebra course for those who wish to continue study of this subject. l Aw, you shouldnit have done Look under 594 in the Miss Brunner examines a it, Mr. Brubaker grins as he ac- seventh column, says Mr. newspaper article which shows cepts a birthday cake from sen- Hartman as he drills the the practical use of percentages iors M.

Under the direction of Mr. Mander- bach, junior high students are introduced to some of the many phases of science. The seventh grade studies such topics as air, fire, fuel, water, and simple machines. Through the outdoor education system seventh and eighth graders are given the opportunity to put their science to practical use. The eighth graders study weather, the human body, com- munications, and the solar system while the ninth graders study work, heat, light, food, environment, and plant and animal life. Stu- dents exhibit their science ability through science projects, some of which are entered in the annual Berks County Science Fair. ' 1 Sciences error and no longer hesitate to shorten our woes.

SENIOR HIGH SCIENCE After having received a general intro- duction to science in junior high, the senior high student is ready to specialize in biology, physics, chemistry, or senior science. Mr. Sheetz teaches the tenth and eleventh grades their first laboratory science, biology. Students are acquainted with the organs and various systems of plants and animals as they dissect worms, clams, fish, and frogs. In physics, Mr. Weik stresses the study of heat, light, sound, electricity, mechanics, and atoms. Laboratory periods are devoted to proving related theories by group experimen- tation. Chemistry, one of the senior science courses, is taught by Mr. Hartman. Students learn about the structure of matter and the composition and properties of various ele- ments and compounds. Senior Science, taught by Mr. Sheetz, is an advanced general science course which is offered to those seniors not taking chemistry. classes. Mr. Sheetz and Mr. Hartman exchange views during the judging of science projects in the cafeteria. ,ty 1, .it Margaret Stover QMrs. Arthur? and seniors S. Pierce and B.

The Let every man be occupied, and occupied in the highest Home Economics The Home Economics Department of Wyo- missing, under the direction of Mrs. Stover, offers junior high students a wide range of subjects to prepare them for future lives as homemakers. Some of the main topics studied during the year are: nutrition, child care, social relationships, in- terior decoration, and family health and safety. Senior high students' courses vary according to their abilities and individual interests. Home Economics is a valuable course, for it develops imagination and originality while it helps students contribute to better home and family living. Industrial Arts Mr. D. C. Shirk, head of the Industrial Arts Department, endeavors to introduce each boy to the basic tools and materials of the 'lshop . In the compulsory courses of the seventh through ninth grades, the boys become accustomed to working with various hand and power tools, and learn the fine points of mechanical drawing and blueprint reading. Pupils may elect the course in senior high as their schedules permit. Elective photography allows interested tenth and eleventh graders to increase their knowledge of camera operations and darkroom techniques. Driver Training With Mr. Shirk at the wheel, tenth grade Stu- dents are piloted through a course in driver ed- ucation from which they emerge eager and capable learners . The classes, which meet once a week, use textbooks prepared by the American Automobile Association and the Digest of the Ve- hicle Code of Pennsylvania to familiarize them with the rules of the roadn. This is augmented by pamphlets, films, special lecturers, and acci- dent clinics in which causes and preventions of local accidents are discussed. After completing this course and receiving a learner's permit, pupils begin actual road-training under the watchful eye of Mr. joseph Pitcherello, licensed driver-trainer instructor. Minors employment of which his nature is capable .... -SYDNEY Library Responsible for providing numerous sources of reference material on unlimited topics, a myriad of interesting books, and a quiet place to study, the library, under the guidance of Mrs. Heffner, is one of the most important facets of Wyomissing High. Throughout the school year it aids every student in discovering at least one new fact or idea. Mrs. Heffner, who maintains the library at its best, instructs the seventh graders in the use of the Dewey Decimal System. This year a display of paperbound pocketbooks , which could be or- dered through the library, was offered to the stu- dents at Christmastime. Music The Music Department, under the direction of Mr. Emery, encourages students to express their musical talent. Music, a necessary supplement to the education curriculum, is compulsory in the junior high. Students study all phases of music: theory, harmony, and appreciation. The senior high girls are given the opportun- ity to participate in the Girls' Chorus which pre- sents several programs during the year. The music department, including the band and or- chestra, exhibits its talents during the traditional gfflhristmas Candlelight Service and the Night of usic. Art Because one can express himself through his art, the art course, supervised by Mrs. Kains, is a popular one with all students. Introduced to var- ious media in junior high grades, pupils have a working knowledge of many phases of art work when they reach senior high. Paper sculpture, ceramics, copper enameling, pencil sketching, and mobile construction are a few of the many subjects offered. Senior high students also aid in Christmas and Easter play productions by painting scenery. SMITH. Rebecca Heffner QMrs. Ruhll types busily in her office amid stacks of sundry books and pamphlets. R.

The They also serve Business Education Under the instruction of Mr. Charles Good- ling, students are taught the basic fundamentals of typing and shorthand to prepare them for future work in business or college. Although commercial courses are elective, at least one year of typing is required of all students. In addition to typing and shorthand, students may elect office practice which enables them to gain experience in operating the office switchboard and office machines, such as the mimeograph, adding machine, ditto, and the dictaphone. Physical Education A healthy body and a sound mind - this is what Mrs. Linderman and Mr. Allison strive for in their well-rounded athletic program. Because the high school years are a most crucial part of onels life, individual consideration and attention are given to the physical, emotional, social, and psychological problems of all students. A knowledge of fundamental athletic skills is stressed through diversified activities such as field hockey, basketball, tumbling, volleyball, soccer, tennis, and baseball. Through these activities, students learn the meaning of sportsmanship and fair play. Hygiene Three good meals a day, plenty of exercise and rest, and cleanliness is next to Godlinessn are the foundations on which Mrs. Stover, Mrs. Linderman, and Mr. Allison conduct the Hy- giene course. Designed to provide pupils with a better understanding of body functions, adapta- tion to environment, and acquisition of social skills, the course begins as a compulsory subject in the seventh grade. Mrs. Stover helps seventh and eighth grade girls solve teenage problems, while Mrs. Linder- man guides the tenth grade girls in anatomy and physiology and the seniors in social hygiene. Community living, personal adjustments, and future living are also explored. Minors who only stand and wait. -JOHN MILTON' Cafeteria Assisting Mr. Arnold in the cafeteria this year are Miss Nace and Mrs. Feger. The govern- ment surplus which Wyomissing receives enables the student to purchase a well-balanced meal for thirty cents. Pupils may select either the main platter or one consisting of soup and a sandwich. A variety of fruits, salads, and desserts are also available. In addition to offering students and faculty a nutritious lunch, the cafeteria with its background of music and lively conversation serves as a pleasant diversion from school work. Medical Staff Throughout the school year the competent medical staff is available to the students of Wyo- missing. Mrs. Knappenberger, the school nurse, can be found in the infirmary ready to care for any ill student. Dr. Dougherty offers regular dental inspection to all students. Boys in grades seven through twelve receive a thorough physical examination for sports from Dr. Woodring. ln addition, biennial physicals are given to all pupils, and sight and hearing are tested at intermittent periods during the year. Mantoux tests for tu- berculosis are administered to grades ten and twelve as well as to boys in sports. Custodians The maintenance of the extensive campus as well as the high school proper is a year round op- eration requiring the employment of a corps of men. The work of cleaning regularly is inter- spersed during the winter months by a system of rotation painting. This procedure guarantees a spruce appearance to the classrooms. During the open weather season constant grooming of the grounds is necessary. The custodial staff consists of: George Goddard, George Rider, George Ang- stadt, jr., Paul Stoudt, and Paul Young. Mrs. Bertha Feger, Miss Evelyn Nace, and Mr. Melvin Arnold prepare the Christmas turkey for hungry stu- dents. Carol Lauria gets the full treatment from Dr. Harry Dougherty, Dr. Leonard Woodring, and Mrs. Annie Knap- penberger.

The chief purpose of Co-op is to pro- mote common bonds among the administration, faculty, and the student body of Wyomissing High. Every Wednesday morning, the representa- tives, two elected from each homeroom, met on the auditorium stage. Here they discussed school problems, presented new ideas which would benefit the school and carried out projects. The organization planned the assembly pro- grams, scheduled school dances, and printed a weekly bulletin of announcements. With the PTA, the Cofop planned the annual Halloween Dance.

Through the co- operation of its members it acts as a service and social club, extending throughout the school and community f high standards of Christian character. Since the Hi-Y is a service functioning body, each year it sponsors certain service activities. One such project was the presentations of a one hundred dollar scholarship to the senior member who scored highest in a given examination. Another service undertaken, previous to the Burning of the Greens, was the col- lection of Christmas decorations. Although the services play an important part in the Hi-Y agenda, the social events also have their place. An important group of activities were those jointly sponsored with the Y-Teen club.

The Y-Teens Club, a division of the Young Women's Christian Association, is both a service and a social organization for senior girls. In accordance with its significant purpose, to create, maintain, and extend throughout the home, school, and community high standards of Christian character, to grow in friendship with all races, re- ligions, and nationalities, the club initiated Trick or Treat for UNICEF in the borough, and assisted in classes for underprivileged children at the Fellow- ship House. Highlights of the year were the Mother-Daughter Social, at which Martha Nugent, a Wyomissing alumna, spoke of her experiences in the U.S.S.R., the Spring Fashion Show, presented in co-operation with the Heather Shop, and the Easter Program. The gala Inter-Club dance, Movie Night, the Square Dance in honor of the foreign students and the Sports Night were among many popular activities co-sponsored by Hi-Y and Y-Teen members. Advised by Mrs. Stover, and led by Susan Schad, president, Linda Zalewski, vice-president, Helene Bowman, secretary, and Ian Fister, treasurer, the Y- Teens concluded a successful year of service and fun with the closing picnic and banquet.

In April of 1960 Nancy Scott, editor, Karen Heisler, business manager, and Ron Bauer, treasurer, were elected. The follow- ing seniors were given posts on the staff: Tina Schmidt, assistant editor, Mary West- kott and Roger Rosenberger, senior section, Linda Zalewski, academics, Salli LeVan and Robert Keeler, activities, James Klein and Susan Schad, sports, Penny Pettis, underclass- men, jan Fister, art, judy Kitzmiller, typing, john Blodgett, photography. This staff worked all summer to have the dummy completed by fall. Time passed quickly, but finally the rough drafts took form. The fast pace of school was negligible compared to the pace set by the Colophon staff which held extensive patronage cam- paigns in both the community and the school.

Again this year a debate team was formed, con- sisting of senior high students, to hold panel dis- cussions on current problems of the nation at Wyo- missing, Wilson, and Governor Mifflin high schools. Mr. Gebensleben supervised the team, and helped the participants to prepare their speeches. The first debate, held at Wyomissing in late Feb- ruary, called the students' attention to The Effects of the Space Age on Education. Darrell Ernst and Gretchen Miller presented their views on the subject with panelists from both other schools. The next two debates were concerned with the topic Resolved, That the Electoral College Should be Abolishedf' Bill McShane and Nancy Riley spoke at Wilson High School, while Dave Rothermel and Mary Bell DeLong represented Wyomissing at Governor Mifflin. After the individual speeches at all three schools, the sub- jects were presented to the entire assembly for dis- cussion. Linda Pierce, janet Melson, and Stuart Slut- sky, accompanying the team, sparked the question- answer period. Students at all the schools benefitted from the discussions, which gave the participants experience with public speaking as well as an insight into cur- rent problems.

Foreign Students For the past five years Wyiomissing High School has been selected to participate in the Herald Tribune Foreign Student Forum. The representatives who visited our school this year were Chiselco Shirai from japan and jahangir Malik from Pakistan. For the three week period Chiseko lived with Susan Schad, her student host, and jano, as he was familiarly nicknamed, stayed with Bob Keeler. Together, the American and foreign stu- dents laughed, played, ate, and worked, thus enabling each group to gain a clearer, more perfect picture of the other's cultural pat- terns. Everyone was indeed sorry to see these fine representatives of their respective countries leave, and yet all felt as if they had drawn a bit closer to the theme of the forum - The World We Waiit.', How good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity. -THE BIBLE. ,gd if :WX ' ' ' 'lfivvt - fa ,.. 1 ., -1- 4 nf' TQ' x ' Chisel-to Shirai.

Assemblies Variety is the mother of enjoyment. Each year the assembly committee presents to the student body a well rounded program of educational value and entertainment. Most of the assemblies are the results of the efforts of members of the student body and faculty advisors, but in some cases assembly programs are brought in from other schools or from paid assembly services. Some of the highlights of this year were the Sembower Oratorical Con- test, a play presented by the Chief- tain which was a contest between all the papers of the ages, and a Negro quartet known as the Vocalaires. The most interesting assembly that it presented during the course of the year is the program which the foreign students organize. During the as- sembly this year, lano and Chiseko explained customs of their countries aided by pictures depicting important traditions and the outstanding geo- graphical views of their homelands. -BENJAMEN DISRAELI.

Football On August 18, with summer still in the air, forty-one can- didates reported for football practice under the supervision of head coach Mr. Gebensleben, and assistant coach Mr. Hartman. This year's squad had quite a job cut out for them, mainly to live up to last year's undefeated and untied team and to continue the 13 game winning streak. The eleven returning lettermen selected David Purselle and James Klein as co-captains. In the first scrimmage with Daniel Boone the Warriors looked as if they were in for a tremendous W.

But disaster struck the following Wednesday at practice session when David Purselle suffered a bad collar bone fracture. The coaches had quite a gap to fill up but in two weeks they hit upon the right combination in a Wyomissing scrimmage with Muhlenberg. The 1960 team will long be remembered by the residents of Berks County and it never will be forgotten by the citizens of Wyo- missing. The team finished with an unblemished record CS-OJ and in addition to that, they established the longest consecutive game winning streak in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Mr. Hartman.

WYOMISSING 20 - LOWER MORELAND O Wyomissing High opened their defense of the Inter-County Football Conference championf ship by dumping Lower Moreland 20-O. The victory was the Warriors' 14th straight over a three-year span. Wyomissing started the Lions on the way to defeat immediately following the opening kickoff, as Klein found Adams in the open on the first play from scrimmage. The touchdown covered 62 yards. On the first play of the second quarter, Klein tossed a 40-yarder to Dennis Fink to move the Warriors to the Lions 40. A series of penalties dumped the discouraged Moreland eleven back to the 20, from which point Klein eventually scored on four consecutive carries. A Wyomissing interception by Mike Roller on the Wyomissing 21 set up the third Warrior score. john Rothenberger made a sensational grab of a Klein aerial and romped 76 yards down the sidelines to the end zone. WYOMISSING 39 -- UPPER DUBLIN 12 The Warriors, playing at home for the first time this season, displayed a tremendous of- fensive attack against a beefy Upper Dublin team. Dennis Fink put the Warriors in the scoring column early in the game when he picked up a fumbled punt and pranced 22 yards for the score. Two minutes later another Warrior drive was underway which was climaxed on Klein's 10-yard touchdown run. Wyomissing made it 20-0, midway in the third stanza, when Mike Roller recovered another fumbled punt on the Dublin 28. Fink beautifully out maneuvered his defense man to gather in a Klein-pass for the score. In the second half Klein hit Adams with two scoring passes of 29 and 11 yards. john Roth- enberger added the final blow to the stunned Dublin eleven as he scooted five yards for paydirt. The Warrior line, headed by Squirrel Rosenberger, Knucklesl' Spina and Killer Huyett limited Dublin to 32 yards net gained until the fourth quarter when coach Geben- sleben began to flood the game with substitutions. Thanks, Ads, as Klein goes for six. Curses, foiled againln by D. Fink and J. Simmons. WYOMISSING 38 - COLLEGEVILLE 12 The Warriors ran their Inter-County League streak to 16 in a row against the tenacious Collegeville Colonels. The final score gives no indication of the closeness of the game. Twice the Colonels held the lead C6-0 and 12-71 but eventually the Warriors' mighty offense rolled over their nemesis. Ron Adams scored first on a 15-yard pass from Klein. Peters converted the extra point. Before the half ended a sneak by Klein put the Warriors into the lead they never again relin- quished. Peters slashed off right tackle from the one, and Klein scampered 37 yards around left end behind a crushing block by john Rothenberger for two more touchdowns. Peters added his second P.A.T. by placement. Midway through the third quarter, the Warriors reeled off their longest scoring effort on a 65-yard pass play from Klein to end Bill Leinbach. Bailey Jamison ended the touchdown parade in the closing minutes with a 35-yard jaunt around left end. WYOMISSING 34 - WEST READING O The Warriors completely outplayed the West Reading Cowboys in the traditional Battle of the Boroughs. The final outcome was a little disappointing to many of Wyomissing's players who felt that the score should have been more onesided. The statistics justify their disappoint- ment as Wyomissing gained 503 net yardage to the Cowboys' 41 yards. Adams opened the scoring for the Warriors on a six-yard pass from Klein. A 40- yard pass play to Fink put the Warriors on West Reading's doorstep where Adams scored his sec- ond touchdown from the five. Peters' conversion made it 13-0 at the end of the first quarter. The Klein to Adams combination got together again this time for a 45-yard pass and run score. Adams faked so beautifully that his closest defender was 10 yards behind him when he gathered in the pass. Denny Fink rambled 19 yards on an end around for another Wyo- missing score. Hero of the day, Ron Adams, concluded the scoring when he lobbed a fake punt screen pass to Bailey Iamison who lugged it 40 yards into touchdown territory. T. Finn prepares for the impact as R. Adams, VV. Simmons, and J. Simmons rush in. Acheson tries a Blind Man's Bluff. WYOMISSING 55 -- JENKINTOWN 13 Wyomissing High padded its win streak to 18 as five Warriors got into the touchdown act. Mike Peters completed the rout by adding Seven conversions, before missing his eighth try, to give him a string of 11 straight. A fumble recovered by Bill Simmons on the Wfyomissing 30 started the Warriors' assault. Denny Fink, making a twisting catch of an off-course pass, advanced to the three yard line where Klein plunged for the first six points on the next play. A Klein-to-Adams pass play, covering 62 yards, accounted for the Warriors' second T.D. A trap play with Adams carrying the ball upped the score to Z1-0 as he romped 43 yards. Adams again scored, this time on a 34- yard slant off left tackle. johnny Hollenbach flipped a 15-yard pass to Ray Libby to give the Warriors a 35-0 half-time lead. Wyomissing scored only one touchdown in the third period, a six-yard sweep by Klein. But in the fourth quarter they hit paydirt twice as Rothenberger ran back an intercepted pass 45 yards and Bailey Jamison drove over from the six. WYOMISSING 34 - BRIDGEPORT O Wyomissing met a rather unruly visiting Bridgeport team before 700 sun-drenched spec- tators. The Warriors trampled the unsportsman-like Dragons, the last pretenders to the Inter- County League throne, by the margin of 34-0. The opener of the T.D. parade was a screen pass from Klein to Adams. Adams, catching the ball five yards behind the line of scrimmage, had no opposition as he sprinted 50 yards down the left sideline behind a wall of blockers, led by Fink, I-luyett, and Spina. A block thrown by Adams enabled Klein to scoot around right end for a 34-yard scoring jaunt. On the opening play of the third quarter Klein sprang loose for a 73-yard touchdown run made possible by Rosenberger's and Peters' helpful blocks. Bridgeport fumbled the kick-off, with Rosenberger recovering on the Dragon 29. Klein eventually scored from the five on a center thrust. The final score came on a 17-yard aerial from Klein to Adams. Peters converted on four of five attempts from the three-yard stripe. Sitting down on the job, D. Huyett watches as W. Leinbach carries. Down the field for another fifteen yards. WYOMISSING 42 - POTTSGROVE O Pottsgrove became the twentieth victim of Wyomissing's mighty Warriors. The Win enabled the Warriors to wrap up the loop title for the second year in a row as close to a thousand spectators cheered them on. The Warriors' first touchdown came on a 17-yard toss from Klein to Adams who raced 35 yards to the Pottsgrove end zone. Adams scored again in the second period on a 41-yard pass play from Klein, and the Warriors added their third quarter when Mike Peters' pass connected with Klein, for 41 yards. Klein scored twice in the second period on short thrusts of one and five yards, and once in the fourth quarter on a nine-yard slant off tackle. Peters converted the placements after each of the six Warrior touchdowns. The 'Ksolid seven, even though Arno Spina was disabled with appendicitis, was largely responsible for the Warriors' fourth straight slaughter. WYOMISSING 33 - EXETER O Wyomissing High trampled Exeter 33-0 to close out its second straight unbeaten, untied season. The Inter-County League tussle was played in a drizzling rain. The Warriors, who were never forced to punt and never incurred a penalty, scored the first four times they took control of the ball. After Exeter kicked off to start the action, it took the Warriors nine plays to score with Klein tossing a 15-yard pass to Adams in the end-zone. As the second stanza opened, a Klein-tofAdams pass climaxed another drive. Again Klein sighted Adams all alone, with the play going for 47 yards and a touchdown. Peters made his third conversion in a row. The score was pushed to 27-O as Klein scored on a 15-yard scamper. The final score resulted on a 15-yard flat pass to Finn who ran the final count to 33fO. The Eagles' only scoring threat was killed by Bill Acheson's fumble recovery. Klein on an end sweep. Don't just stand there, do something. n . n L. Weber and R.

Rounding out the starting five were john Stevens, John Hollenbach, and Bill Simmons, with Bailey Jamison and Ron Allison seeing considerable late season action. Completing the squad of twelve were Wayne Rosenberger, Pete Post, Kent Hollinger, jeff Hayes, and Russel Boeken- kroeger. The Junior Varsity posted a perfect record in all six of their pre-season games and won their first league con- test before dropping a game to a scrappy Wilson five. Un- shaken, the Warriors rebounded for five more consecutive victories until West Reading's Cowboys put an end to this streak pushing our layvees out of first place. The re- mainder of the season saw the Warriors post a 4-Z record while finishing a respectable third in their di- vision. A promising varsity career looms ahead for this year's starting five. 81 M. Johnston, R. Bauer, W. Shanfelder, J. Klein, Mr. Hartman, J. Sevick, B. Jamison, M. Peters, R. Andrews, B. Keller, J. Hollenbach, S. Slutsky. Men, in independent position, and of honest purpose. This spring only twelve boys reported for baseball practice. Although this turnout looked very disappointing, the team made up for its lack in quantity with desire and enthusiasm on the playing field. Mr. Hartman, himself an ac- complished ball player, took over the reigns as head coach. Bob Andrews and Jerry Sevick shared the second base duties with John Heck and Ron Bauer at shortstop and first base respectively, completing the Warriors' doubleplay combination. Jim Klein and Barry Keller divided their duties between the hot corner and the mound. In ad- dition to Barry Keller and Jim Klein, Mike Peters rounded out the Warriors' mound staff. With Mike Peters and John Hollenbach behind the plate, Wyomissing's opponents were held to a minimum number of stolen bases. The regular outfield consisted of Mike Johnston in left, Bill Shanfelder in center, and Stuart Slutsky in right. Backing up these starters were Barry Paine and Bailey Jamison. The Warriors compiled a 1-3-1 record in the first half of the season, with their lone win coming at the hands of the Reading High J.V.'s 1Of7. This record is not a poor one, considering that XVyornissing's independent game schedule was composed of the top teams in the county. J. RUSKIN.

Track For the first time in many years, the high schools of Berks County have band- ed together, forming three separate leagues for their track squads according to the size of the schools. Wyomissing's team, which was in the Class HI league, participated in dual meets with West Reading, Mount Penn, Schuylkill Valley, and in county meets at Albright College, West Reading, and Governor Mifflin. They also attended the Venzke Relays. Under the coaching of Mr. Charles Weik, a large squad of both senior high and junior high boys showed a good po- tential in both track and field specialties. Their first several outings in dual meets showed that their power could produce results that the potential seemed to in- dicate, as they severely trounced three consecutive opponents. What's the joke, boys! 85 Mr. G., D. Kenee, H. McCvonigle, W. Breitinger, R. Keeler, XV. McShane, J. Klein. Tennis lt must be done like lightning. The Wy'omissing High tennis team, a perennial powerhouse in Berks tennis circles, fought for its fourteenth Berks Scholastic Tennis League champion- ship in the sixfteam league. The 1961 edition of Mr. G's Racketeers, hit hard by graduation, lacked depth but displayed that winning spirit so commonly at- tached to Wyomissing tennis. The small, but powerful team consisted of only six boys: seniors, Bob Keeler Ccaptainj and jim Klein, juniors, Bill Breitinger, Roger Smith, and Bill McShaneg and freshman, Dennis Keenee. Late in February, Bob Keeler and Roger Smith ventured to Lancaster to the Indoor Invitation Tour- nament at McCaskey High School to gain experience in the stiff competition of tournament play. This Warrior twosome fared well, considering their lack of practice. The Berks County Tournament was held on May 4 and 5 at the Berks County Tennis Club. Bill Breitinger, the number one Warrior netman and previously twoftime county singles champion, fought hard to retain his coveted title. Competition started for the Warrior six on April 12 against Garden Spot on the high school courts and league play began on the 18th of that month at Fleetwood. All in all, Mr. G's netmen turned out another terrific season. BEN jon NsoN. 4' . .f ,. , I . ,J-1 X ' e 'Y . --vfz, , fm lt's a Keeler smash! +1 xx., X f,..-f E gh' X.

I'll huff, and I'll puff .... 88 In its second year of interscholastic cornpe- tition at Wyomissing High School, cross country has gained in popularity as a fall sport. Compet- ing with football for much needed runners, the team began to run the two and a half mile course in the beginning of October. Under the affable assistance of Mr. Weik, track and field coach, the team learned interesting drills as well as different techniques which they applied in their twelve conference runs. Even though the team is the predominant factor, this sport tests the endurance, willpower, and clean sportsmanship of the individual runners. Because the team finally had become an ac- cepted member of the Berks County conference league and all the runners had returned from last year's squad, everyone anticipated a successful season. Although valiant efforts were put forth by ,led Dodd, Glenn Haines, Dave Fahrenholt, Bill Shanfelder, and Bill Breitinger, the War- riors were beaten back at every turn. However the season ended with one light of glimmering hope when the team placed third in the county conference meet. Also, only a few participants will be graduated in june and the experience gained previously should help the team to a more successful future. T. Palmer, L. Weber, R. McConaghy, R. Palmer, M.

Mr. John Reitz headed the squad of seven, including five active and two substitute players. The first season, which opened April Z1, was a schedule of thirteen matches played under match rules with a possibility of four points. The Berkshire Country Club was the scene of the pre- season practices which were held four times a week. Before the season opened, each player was ranked according to his proficiency and during the season he played the correspondingly ranked play- er of the opposing team. Forming the nucleus of Wyomissing's first venture into this sport were Don Noll, Glenn Haines, and Richard Palmer. Filling out the team were Dick McConaghy, Micky Westkott, Bill Acheson, and Larry Weber. This group was under the able management of Tom Palmer who proved his prowess on the green by frequently out-golfing the coach. The high points of the season were the Berks County and District III tournaments. Our players traveled to both Galen Hall and Hershey on May 6 and 19 respectively to participate in these interscholastic events. The season was ended with satisfaction in the initial efforts and plans to make golf a permanent part of Wyomissing's sports program. i Q l 5 s an un Mr. Sheetz, Mr. Gebensleben, Mr. Reitz, Mr. Hartman, Mr. Weik, Mr. Allison. Coaches Calm council and constructive leadership. -FRANKLIN D. RoosEvEL'r. The success of any athletic team depends largely upon its coaching. This year six competent men assumed the responsibility of teaching each boy the skills of their respective sports and the fundamental lessons of co-operation and good sportsmanship. Mr. Gebensleben again enjoyed spectacular success as head coach of Wyomissing's undefeated football team. Assisting him was Mr. l-lartman, who, an accomplished baseball pitcher, served later in the season as head baseball coach. Mr. Weik, who continued as cross country coach, also produced Wyomissing's best track team in years. Mentor of the varsity basketball squad was Mr. Reitz who doubled as coach of the newly formed golf team. Mr. Sheetz turned out another well-trained j.V. team who just missed winning the division crown. Mr. Allison again supervised popular intramural programs. Oomph! Is this the look of a confident coach? 90 G. Bell, B. Heckman, l.. Weber, R. Purselle, S. Evans, I. Heisler, R. Becker, J. Roller. Managers Preparedness he implores. -MCLEAN WILSON. The manager, an omnipresent jack-of-all-trades, is one of Wyomissing's obscure, but essen- tial, sports heroes. Responsible for all athletic equipment and medical supplies, and subject to the endless requests of the team, he sacrifices both time and effort to carry out his many diverse activities. Barry I-leckman, captain of the football managers, together with George Bell, john I-leisler, jeff Roller, and Andy Friedmann, held the fort from late August to early November. During basketball season Russel Becker and his aides-de-camp, John I-leisler, Steve Evans, Dick Purselle, and Larry Weber, assumed the guardianship of euipment and the consequences of team humor. Completing the managerial squad were john Heisler, Bill Williams, Tom Stutzman, Chester Longenecker, Tom Deck, and john Steinrock who served spring sportsmen.

Senior Girls' Athletic Association Women try their luck. -O. WILDE. An important part of any sports activity is the expression of fair play and friendly competition. The Senior G.A.A., this year, played hostess to several schools on occasional play daysj' spon- soring games in both hockey and basketball. The G.A.A. cabinet, consisting of lan Fister, president, Cynthia Miller, vice-president, Marty jones, treasurer, and Judy Hawman, clerk of record, compiled senior high teams in hockey, basketball, and volleyball, selected managers, and saw to it that everything ran smoothly through- out the year. As before, G.A.A. games were held after school, the girls signing up for each event in which they wished to participate. Cfficials, timers, and scorers volunteered their services in these extra' curricular activities. Striving to build good character and a sense of fair play, the Senior G.A.A. succeeded by in- citing tremendous team spirit and enthusiasm. J. Fister, J. Jones, 1. Hawman, Mrs. Linderman, C.

As the minor division of the Girls, Athletic Association, the junior G.A.A. serves to give girls an opportunity to improve skills in diverse sports. Members include girls in grades seven through nine. The club provided programs in basketball, hockey, volleyball, and softball. Girls from each homeroom acted as representatives to secure names of those who wished to participate in the various sports. Teams consisted of girls from each grade. A point system for merit was employed for participants. The club participated with other schools in field hockey, basketball, tennis, and volleyball sports days. The annual picnic climaxed the season. Mrs. Linderman acted as the club's super- visor. The cabinet officers were: Nancy Gartner, president, Midge McShane, vice-president, jan Coulton, secretary-treasurerg and jane Keeler, clerk of records. Burrerfeet! Boys' Intramurals NO one knows what he can do till he trys. -Puauus SYRUS. Boys' intramurals, a program insti- tuted by Mr. Allison several years ago, has increased in popularity and diversifi- cation, until now it plays a major role in high school activity. From grades seven through twelve, an individual can exploit his abilities in such sports as basketball, soccer, wrestling, volleyball, and baseball. A participant can benefit many ways from this program. He learns the value of teamwork, self-control, and healthful ex- ercise. Each year this program is high- lighted by senior and junior high track meets. This intra-school event held in the spring brings about a constructive bat- tle between the classes as they vie for first, second, and third place. Although the varsity sports are naturally held in greater importance, the intramural program has come a long Way in giving each boy, regardless of his ability, an opportunity to enjoy the ad- vantages of participating in sports.

Sports played an active part in the extra-curricular activities of the class. The girls engaged in the senior G.A.A. program while the boys played in intramural games. Football season found a proportionate share of the sophomore boys on the football team. During basketball season john Heck and John Rothenberger were co-captains of the junior varsity basketball team, composed of many sophomores. Betsy jones, Roberta Dinsmore, Susan Mohn, and Nancy Riley, as cheerleaders, led the students in cheering their teams to victory. John l-lollenbach, Marian Ekstrand, Nancy Riley, and Richard Moss represented the class in Co-operative. ln April the group sponsored a senior high school dance.

SOCRATES The Curtain Falls As a fledging actor eagerly grasps the script of his first major play, so we, the class of 1961, once clasped ours. How we devoured the lines - laughed at the gags, learned from the maxims, and perhaps cried at the tragedies. Whether the stage were a basketball court, a class room, the corner drug store, or a recreation room awesomely decorated as Manhattan Mood, we played our parts, at times a bit hesitantly, but nevertheless vividly, as sincerely as we knew how. True, there were times when those stages were turbu- lent, and we wondered if perhaps we were cast in the wrong roles, but after a few comforting moments in the wings, we returned on stage, filled with an air of confidence and trust. Now, the first play is over - our high school days are at an end. We have spent years perfecting our roles, and at last, prepare to greet our greatest critic of all - the world. The curtain has fallen, we anxiously await the moment when silence is broken, and we receive our reward -- the clapping of hands which seems to say, Well done! Robert H.
