HIGH SCHOOL DELMAR, NEW YORK presents the 1960 ORIOLE he Sno Our school emblem, sym- bolic of local history and scholarly attributes, was the winning entry for the best or- iginal design of a school em- blem in a contest held for Bethlehem Central students in the 1930's. The ship is Hendrick Hudson’s “Half Moon,” and the Indian represents those who met early European immigrants. The motto, “Of what great value it is to know,” found on the emblem, is illustrated by the open book, symbolizing available learning; by the lamp, representing personal wisdom, knowledge, and intellect; and by the torch, ex- pressing the individual’s responsibility to pass on the learning and ideals which he has been taught. i Ys eae f Contents Sooty.

His dynamic personality, keen scholarship, friendliness, and humor endeared him to all; while his strong character is still an inspiration. “There’s a hope man’s memory may outlive his life...” DEDICATION Miss Hobbie, an important member of our Y school’s fine Mohenatie: Department, has been a constant source of help and inspiration to. the Class of 1960. Many of our members have had the en- riching experience of her teaching. As Student Coun- cil Adviser, she has guided our student government well. Always ready to help a misunderstanding stu- dent, always patient, never critical, she exemplifies our ideas of what a teacher should be. And so it is with pleasure and gratitude that we dedicate the 1960 ORIOLE to Miss Helen E. Hobbie. THE SCHOOL DAY This year the theme of the Oriole is “The School Day.” Pretend, as you turn the pages, that you are in Bethlehem Central Senior High School. You start the day in homeroom; then during the morning classes you see many familiar faces and hear the favorite expressions of all your teachers. Lunch — and then back to the grind! Sixth and seventh periods fairly fly, and soon you are engaged in your favorite activity or attending assembly in the auditorium. Two-forty-five brings the end of the school day for some; but many stay for sports, library work, or, alas, detention. When you finally get home, however, it is only for a minute or two, because you are then off to one of your numerous evening activities. Arriving home very late, you stumble into bed, willing, but not yet ready, to face another school day. sesansissesiecnncresscinecceatles Siete ORE CLEVLCE PERIOD | Mr. Edsall Department Supervisor Although the apparent objectives of the science courses seem to be to scare the girls with a dissected frog, to blow up the Chem. lab., or to putter with pulleys, sci- ence plays an important role in everyday life. The Science Department, including biology, chemistry and physics, helps the individual attain knowledge and become more efficient. This year, innovations in science study were introduced to the class of 1960. If a senior had the necessary ability and time, he or she was permitted to study “Ad- vanced Biology” and or “Advanced Chem- istry.” Through these and other develop- ments, the Science Department has proved itself to be one of the best in the state. The Teachers: Mr. Prue, Mr. Cleaves, Mr. Atkinson, Mr. Scott, Mr. Kull- man. : — 2 Oo cn -= (2) ee) DN � Coy =| ue Ss 8 cet oe ho ES wg Co o o ay on B= 33 5 a — = EE nn - os © 8 52) 6 =) = — o = wn las) o oO Caml n Engl PERIOD 2 ities Patt, tere iys eee saaiel PERE RAR Mr. Eddington Department Supervisor With the increased complexity and refinement of the American civilization, the study of English has be- come much more than “readin’ and writin’.” The regu- lar courses in English, which cover the whole range of the subject, culminate with the Regents Examination at the end of the junior year. Recognizing the import- ance of diversified English study, B.C.’s English De- partment offers the following half year electives to Seniors: World Literature, Modern English, Advanced English Composition, General English, Public Speak- ing, Shakespeare, Dramatics, and Business English. In- terestingly enough, this has made it possible for many students to take more than the required four-years of the subject. With the wide range of study available, the individual attention given to the students, and the use of visual aids and modern equipment, B.C. can be proud of its English Department. The Teachers: Mrs. Adler, Mr. Lambert, Mr. Zeh, Miss Skevington, Mr. Burdick, Mrs. Kraft. 2A mere ie Gal Sos 5) led LEY PI aia Some of the memorable experiences shown in these pictures of typical English classes are: Mr. Camp dictating Dean Hartley’s spelling list; a calm moment in a Public Speaking class; the friendly help of teachers; an oppor- tunity for in-class reading; individual help; and, yes... ee heat a smiling supervisor! ®: 3 bse 3 2 ee ee 23 B eC y, PERIOD 3 Mr. Guerrera Department Supervisor Physical Education, a subject required of all students, is enjoyed by almost all the par- ticipants. The boys’ program includes Soccer, Touch Football, Basketball, Tumbling, Appar- atus, Wrestling, Track, and, of course, Battle- ball and “Murder”. The girls’ program is much the same except that Tennis and Field Hockey are substituted for Touch Football and Track. Swimming is another important phase of the physical education program, for it has been proved a healthfully beneficial sport. The Teachers: Mr. Lephart, Mrs. Van Demark, Miss -Stafford, Mr. Farrell, Mr. Ritchko ' Fens Ohits, PERIOD 3 iad Source Map ED: STATES JS FO Miss Newell Department Supervisor Through the maze of names, dates, events, policies, and so forth, few students realize that the purpose of citizenship edu- cation is more than a matter of memory. Citizenship education is studied for the purpose of grooming the student for fut- ture leadership and responsibility in our country. “Cit. Ed.” is one of the few courses which are mandatory for four years at Bethlehem Central. In order to take any of these, the student must have completed the prerequisite course with a passing average. The importance of citizenship education training will become apparent in the future, not only for those students who intend to enter politics, economics, or other allied fields, but for the great mass who will compose an educated electorate. The Teachers: Row One: Mrs. Salisbury, Miss Wiggins, Mrs. North, Mr. Brooks, Mr. Karp. Row Two: Mr. DeCecco, Mr. Webster, Mr. Molyneaux. Mr. Truitt Department Supervisor Mr. Yacobian SIC PERIOD 4 The Music Department at Bethlehem Central is one of the most complete in the country. Students learn much about the means and forms of musical expression, and provide a valuable service for the school and the community. The Band, under the direction’ of Mr. Hoke, and the Orchestra, under the direction of Mr. Yacobian, supply an instru- mental background for assemblies, and, of course, the Fall, White Christmas, and Spring Concerts. The Choraliers and the Concert Choir, under the leadership of Mr. Truitt, give fine interpretations of both moving reli- gious music and peppy swing numbers at these concerts. Choraliers Orchestra se ) am OC — al co) oO e 3 O se assis aces I PERIOD 4 Mr. Reissig Department Supervisor The study of mathematics is, indeed, a profitable venture for the student. Not only does it serve science, economics, and accounting, but also nearly every other vocational field. The Math Department of B.C. offers a wide range of available courses. The most popular are algebra, geometry, and trigonometry. Those who have the required ability and average may take accelerated math programs. Such courses are: Math 10, Math 11, Math 12A, and Math 12X, which cover the usual aspects of the particular subject but are further enriched in both material and application. The acclaim that B.C. receives for its Mathematics Department only serves to prove its excellence. The Teachers: Mr. Hall, Miss Quinn, Mr. Wonkka, Miss Hobbie. Pratical Arts PERIOD 5A-B There is always the “hustle and bustle” of seventy aspiring artists and dabblers in room eleven. Students are able to make ceramics, jewelry, paintings, and sculpture. A great deal of talent and imagination has been shown in the displays of their work. Driver Education gives many students a chance to improve their driving and to become safer and saner drivers. Licenses are easier to ob- tain if a student has had this course, and he may obtain a senior license when he is seventeen instead of eighteen. In the homemaking classes the girls learn to sew, cook and do many other things around the house. Some of the boys have been taking advan- tage of the homemaking department, for this year there is a class of chefs only. In the shop many boys are able to learn the fundamentals of various trades. The program in- cludes the study of personnel problems as well as manual skills. A boy may take courses special- izing in certain areas, or he may take the general shop course, which introduces him to many related fields.

Lbraty The library, the important center of student intellec- tual activity, makes possible much of the extra study done by Bethlehem Central students on source themes and other research projects. A popular place during lunch time and after school, it has a cozy atmosphere enhanced in the winter by the fireplace and in the spring and fall by the patio. Miss Hilda Sheldon Librarian UsSWMeSS PERIOD 6 Mrs. Hosey Department Supervisor The Business Department offers a unique Work Experience Program, as well as the usual business courses. This program, which was begun four years ago, presents an opportunity for the student to earn as he learns. Along with building self- confidence and providing invaluable experience, this program enables students to obtain promo- tional jobs immediately after graduation from high school. The Teachers: Mr. Brown, Miss Minogue, Mr. Collis, Miss Leonard. 3 ote rahe UsSWESS . 2 — : sei ap ; Sak tel tiesto Son seo — erimeaenenn A So a € PERIOD 7 With the waning of isolationism in the last century, all the countries of the world have come closer together, and the need to communicate is urgent. Language study helps prepare the student for this, as well as for a professional career. Lan- guages offered at B.C. are French, Ger- man, Latin, Spanish, and English. Last year a television course in Russian _at- tracted a few students. The study of a spe- cific language at B.C. has not only aroused interest in a particular country, but also has led to the formation of several worth- while extra-curricular activities. Since the value of language has long since proven itself, it is hoped that interest in this subject at B.C. will increase. The Teachers: Mrs. Goldsberry, Mrs. Glatz, Mrs. Rapp, Mr. Aubrey. On behalf of the Senior Class of 1960, the Oriole Staff wishes to express its thanks to J. H. Winchell III, Photographer, for his help and cooperation.

Cease CVUUCT The Senior Play of the Class of 1960 was a smash success. The production, THE BOYFRIEND, by Sandy Wilson, was the first musical ever to be presented as a Senior Play. Set in the French Riviera, THE BOYFRIEND is a spoof of the life and music of the 1920’s. Playing to a full house each performance, it ran two nights. Directed by Mr. Feldman and Mr. Zeh, THE BOYFRIEND was a production many will long remember.

From heaps of multicolored crepe paper the theme “Over the Rainbow” was woven into a lovely effect. The foyer was transformed into a gardenhouse which served as a cafe and entrance to the dance. The set- ting was enhanced by the fountain in the garden. An attempt at stereophonic sound was made by placing the band in the center of the dance floor. As always the climax of the evening was the crowning of the King, Dave Brownell, and the Queen, Sue Chesney, by Polly Cooper and Dean Allen. This year, ORIOLE is introducing several new features, one of which you are presently admiring. By the use of ballots and the cooperation of the Senior Class, the Seniors who are “superlative” in MOST VERSATILE Phil Jones Judy Paige MOST LIKELY Richard Cease various fields have finally achieved recognition.
