Murph , Renninger Studio Choices and Decisions Decision-making is a part of growing upg learning to take decisive steps is an important experience for all students. For seniors, decision-making was obvious. As graduation approached, they decided whether to opt for higher education or seek employment, whether to travel or settle down im- mediately, whether to try to get the most out of this last year or whether to be content with just getting by. But underclassmen had choices to make, too. Registration forced them to decide on the kind of education they would receive. And all students were faced with choices concerning ac- tivities - whether or not to join a club, to sacrifice time for after-school prac- tices, to give a helping hand to a needy person. There was help along the way - from parents, teacher, counselors - but whatever the choice, it was the student's decision. ww Top left: Choosing a college is an important decision for honor student Barry Youse, who uses the new library browsing area.

Fi iv ff ,R , 4 Planning and Preparing Once a student decided on a goal, he began making preparations for reaching it. Careful planning had to in- clude selecting the right program - academic, business, vo-tech, or work- study experience. Again, after-school activities or clubs were helpful in preparing students for fields of interest. Future nurses, teachers, and librarians joined clubs that provided them with career information. Service organizations also gave students a chance to see if a field really did have appeal. That kind of ex- perience had to have an effect.

Ai 'W' Living and F uifilling Besides setting goals and working to achieve them, it helped if students could also feel a sense of ac- complishment. Athletes broke records and brought home championships, actors were proclaimed in state performancesg business students received honors in club competitions. But the sense of fulfillment came from smaller, more personal ex- periences, too. Students grew more aware of others by riding in bike-a- thons, by sponsoring car-washes to aid earthquake victims, by donating time to work with young children.

' XXX Qi ixip' Q activities Students spend seven hours a day in school. The rest of their time is spent in an exclusive world of fashions and music geared to them, of parties and cars and Saturday night movie dates. Boyertown students were no different. There were also special activities held at school - after regular hours - that gave students a chance to have fun. Proms, and plays, and the practices and preparations that went before them, brought out all kinds of students. The ones who liked to work behind the scenes, the organizers, the stars of the show - they were all there, enjoying the fun.

In cross country, two runners com- peted in the PIAA District I Cham- pionship race. Tim Groff got first place in that race, breaking the previous record by 19 seconds. He also placed third in the PIAA Class AAA State Cham- pionship race, Todd Bergey placed sixth in that race. Three wrestlers advanced to sec- tionals - Matt Landis, Kevin Mitchell, ajad Steve Boyer. Mitchell was the run- ner-up in sectional competition, and all three wrestlers went on to the district level. Boyer and Landis were eliminated there, but Mitchell placed second with a loss of the first-place title in the final rounds of competition. With his second- place title, Mitchell went on to the regionals. He is only the second Bear wrestler to advance to that level of com- petition, Mitchell's 18-12 season ended at the Southeast Regional tournament. After winning Boyertown's first Ches- Mont title in basketball, the cagers also were involved in district competition. District I play-off games included wins against Central Bucks West, West Chester Henderson, and Radnor. The final game in district competition was played against Conestoga at the Palestra. The Bears lost that title game, ending the competition one point away from the District I championship. With its second-place rating in district com- petition, Boyertown went on to inter- district play. State-level games included wins over Berwick and Allentown- Dieruff. The team ended its 30-3 season with a loss to Reading in the eastern semi-finals. A second-place rating in Ches-Mont league play enabled the softball team to advance to District I playoffs. The team was eliminated in the third game against William Tennant.

Lunchtime presented the greatest temptation for students to empty their pocketbooksf' Several options were available. The cafeteria offered regular type A platter lunches and an a'la carte line. The a'la carte line, recently divided into two lines to provide faster service, gave students a choice of hamburgers, hot dogs, salads, sandwiches, ice cream, cakes, pies and potato chips. A second option was the canteen in the gym lob- by. Hamburgers, hot dogs, and snacks were sold there. Milk and juice machines were located in both the cafeteria and canteen. Students also had the option of going out for lunch. Students also spent money supporting fund-raising projects sponsored by various classes and school groups. The magazine drive was a profitable enterprise for the sophomores. Prizes were awarded every day for high salesperson. In addition, Spot-O-Gold cards were received for each magazine sold, lf the number rubbed from the spot on the student's card matched a number on the posted list, the student won a prize. Prizes included skateboards, radios, swing-a-lings, candles, iron-ons, and stuffed animals. Prizes were also given for the amount of magazines a student sold. These ranged from class mugs to calculators. Early in the school year, the junior class sold calendars to raise money for their treasury. The linen calendars came in several designs. The most popular design was one representing Boyertown Senior High. The sale was successful, and the junior's profits surpassed those of last year's class. Besides fund-raising projects students spent money on admissions to concerts, plays, and dances held at school. Spending Money Queen and court set festive tone at Homecoming The traditional Homecoming ac- tivities were held on October 23, with court ceremonies, a football game against Pottsgrove, and a dance. Students voted for members of the court in their social studies classes. All nominations were included in the first round of balloting. For the queen and senior princess, five finalists were in- cluded in the second round of voting. The underclass princesses were deter- mined on the first ballot. As part of the Homecoming festivities at half-time, the court members were driven around the football field. Last year's queen, Bonnie Erb, crowned the 1977 queen, Audrey Berky. Her court in- cluded Cinny Erb, senior princess, Kelly Chamberlain, junior princess, and Linda Wadsworth, sophomore princess. After the game, a dance was held in the school dining room. Music was provided by Shotgun. A Student Council committee, headed by Donna johnson, handled all of the preparations for thelevent. .felis Top right: Following local tradition, last year's Middle: l.

Traditional Valentine dance restored, Student Council revives interest Student Council decided to restore tradition by reinstating the Valentine Court. The dance had been dropped for the past two years because of lack of student interest. Ballots listed the names of all seniors and were distributed to seniors during POD classes. The final count was taken by Student Council officers and their ad- viser, Mr. Stanley Madeja. The court was announced during school. The dance was held on February 12 in the dining room. Members of the court entered the dance through the side en- trance. Wendy Brumbach, Student Council president, announced the king, joel Reifsnyder, and queen, jenny Burd. Next, Sue Cox, Council vice-president, crowned the king and queen. The court posed for pictures and ended the for- malities with the court dance, during which the girls on the court danced with their escorts. The parents of the court members were also there to watch the proceedings. jenny received a bouquet of red roses and joel was given an identification bracelet. Each girl on the court carried a white rose, and their escorts wore boutonnieres. Middle: Front row: l. Burd Cqueenl, J. Reifsnyder lkingl, T. Antush, W. VanBuren. Row two: A. Berky, R. Heller, L.

Valentine's Dance Fads, fashions reflect trends Student attire at Boyertown varied from casual clothes to formal fashions. While the school had no strict dress code, students generally seemed more concerned about their ap- pearance. More girls were seen in dresses and pantsuits. Boys, who used to believe that the high school uniform was blue jeans and sneakers, were often seen wearing dress pants and leisure shirts. For school, girls followed the new styles by wearing gauchos, vests, and three-piece suits. High leather boots and all types of clogs were popular footwear. Several boys joined the trend by dressing in jumpsuits, bib overalls, and rocker shoes. Though students increased their wardrobes with the new styles, they still left room for the ever-popular jeans. Popular hairstyles included the wedge cut and the Tony Tenille look. Many more students - boys and girls - also tried permanents for a curlier look. Accessories included double- pierced ears -two small earrings worn in one ear. In purses, many girls chose big cloth or canvas styles that could be slung over a shoulder. Most of those bags were decorated with initials in bright fabrics. Thoughts of the senior prom and junior dinner dance switched at- tention to more formal attire. Cub sponsored its third annual fashion show on March 30. It was held in the dining room. Students modeled the latest spring fashions, ranging from jumpsuits to wedding gowns. Boys were given a preview of the new tuxedo looks. An additional feature was the modeling of dresses and casual wear.

Directed by Mrs. Donna lorgensen, the play was the story of an amateur theater group who per- formed three plays depicting life in the future. The first play, Harrison Bergeron, was science fiction based on the con- cept that everyone is equal. Euphiophone featured a mad scientist who devised a radio that could pick up sounds in space. The program ended with the staging of The Kid Nobody Could Handle, a story involving the ac- tions of a juvenile delinquent, With a cast of nineteen juniors ranging from amateurs to Thespians, the play proved to be a large success, with Friday night's performance having the largest attendance.

Class flag, yellow roses, music add to dinner dance atmosphere The junior dinner dance, with the theme We May Never Pass This Way Again, was held at the Cilbertsville Firehouse on May 6. As each girl entered the ballroom, she received a yellow rose, the class flower, from one of the hostesses. jeff Benyo, class president, and Joni Madeja, class secretary, greeted the couples. Mr. Robert Ballantyne, class adviser, opened by thanking those students who worked on decorations, invitations, and registration, The invocation was read by Mr. Charles Byler, Dinner, consisting of fruit cup, a choice of roast beef or turkey, corn, peas, filling, and ice cream, was served while jeff Benyo presented the class flag. This was the first official showing of theflag. Decorations included streamers and an arbor decorated with paper tissue flowers. Music was provided by the Statesmen.

Dinner Dance Musicians stage Carousel Carousel, a popular Rodgers and Ham- merstein musical, was presented by the Music Department on May 19, 20, and 21 at the junior High West Auditorium, Carousel is basically a love story in- volving two main characters, julie jor- don and Billy Bigelow. Theyywere por-Y trayed by Tami Rothenberger and Fred Lamb. Other major roles were played by Theresa Erb, Chris Fletcher, Donna john- son, and Sherri Powell. With a cast of more than fifty students, the musical required a great' deal of practice. Dance routines, technical adjustments, and dramatic coaching were handled during the many after-school and evening rehearsals. Musical and dramatic direction were done by Mrs. Margaretta Lamb and Mr. Robert Misko. Mrs. Margaret Huffert, house manager, supervised ticket sales. Choreographers were Mrs. Carol Ennis and Mrs. Ethyl Duda. junior and senior high students, direc- ted by Mr. Charles Crummy, formed a 26-piece orchestra to accompany the production. l Bottom left: Mrs. Mellin lTheresa Erbj welcomes Top right: David Bascombe Kfjreg Finej, lulie lor- the townspeople to the carousel ride. dan lTami Rothenbergerl, and Billy Bigelow lFred Lambl confront the local officer ITom Manwillerl.

FQ we Silt Iiziigd L X 1 Qf 5 K 3 xx XX X X K 3 if X X Hours after 3 also very busy During after-school hours, BASH students spent their time doing the things they enjoyed doing, When the dismissal bell rang, several groups hurried to locker rooms to change clothes and gather equipment. Rain or shine, in every season, there were sports to play and practices to en- dure. Most teams practiced every day in gymnasiums, hallways, stairways, and lobbies, or on the playing fields and parking lot. The practice idea held true for other groups besides athletes. Cheerleaders, thespians, and musicians were resigned to several hours of work each week during their after-school time. Hallways echoed with new cheers being practiced, by four different groups, and tryout time added even more bodies to the hallway practice areas. Walking through the halls was impossible after 3 p.m. The dining room was never empty either. If the senior class play or some other dramatic production wasn't in rehearsal on the stage, then choreography lessons for students in the musical were being held in its place. Marching Unit members took over the parking lot for regular drills and the learning of new routines. And music was constantly heard in the music suite. Aspiring journalists discovered that putting out a newspaper, a yearbook, a literary magazine could mean oc- casional after-school sessions, too. The yearbook staff, especially, worked throughout the evening many times. Sometimes students stayed after school to catch up on class work or to test a bit of knowledge. A handful took advantage of the time to use the com- puter. On occasion, auto mechanic students were in the parking lot checking the work they had done in shop. With so many students involved in af- terschool activities, the school often looked and sounded livelier at the end of the day than it had during regular sessions. After School Original script presented, seniors succeed with class play A murder committed in the halls of BASH? A student detective who knew Who done it? Was it possible? lt was. Working with an original script, A Death Worse Than Fate, the senior class presented its play on December 3, 4, and 5 at junior High East. The play was a comical murder story set in the senior high. Characters represented typical Boyertown students and, occasionally, typical Boyertown teachers. Costuming was easyp cast members simply wore normal school at- tire.

Cast members, working with their director Mrs. Lesley Greenberg, spent five weeks preparing for the per- formance. The play proved to be a very successful money making project. Since two seniors, Gretchen Trout and Tracey Zimmers, wrote the play for their in- dependent study project in English, the class saved the usual royalty fees. Tickets and programs were made in shop classes.

Revelations, a rock group, entertained for the remainder of the evening. Decorations, which included a bridge that couples crossed to enter the ballroom, were handled by lenny Burd. Mary Mohn designed that entrance. The stage was decorated with paper flowers spelling the theme, and an ice carving of two love birds was displayed near the pool entrance.

The morning ceremony consisted of speeches by Dr. james Replogle, superintendent, Mr. Robert Fleming, president of the school board, and Mr. David Larson, class adviser. Various awards and scholarships were also presented. Marcia Renninger, president of the class of 1977, handed down the class lamp to jeff Benyo, president of the class of 1978.

Graduation of interests School does not only consist of major subjects and competition for grades, each student also has a chan- ce to enrich his life by joining a club or school organization. These ac- tivities give the student a sense of responsibility and a 4 feeling of belonging. Whether you are an of- ficer, a committee chairman, or a hard-working member of the staff, you learn things in a more relaxed way. You get to try out your own ideas, voice your opinions, or offer suggestions for improving something. You may even get to in- crease your experiences by traveling abroad. You belong, and there is no better way to show your own in- dividuality than by working at something you really enjoy. 33 Top left: Inspecting year- book paste-ups, layout editor Denise Stetler reviews layout procedures learned at a summer workshop at Ohio Univer- sity.

Stories, poems, sketches featured in school's literary-art magazine Accent was the literary and art magazine which featured original stories, poems, and sketches done by students and teachers. Early in the year, students and faculty were encouraged to submit their work. Editors Tracey Zimmers and Sally Grabert and associate editor Luanne Pulli spoke to every English class about their ideas for the magazine and about contributing material. january was the deadline for submitting any material. At that point, the staff, with Mrs. Betty Soler's assistance, began reviewing the work and deciding on what would be ac- cepted. Names were removed before material was reviewed, so that criticism would remain as objective as possible, Accent published one magazine this year, it was distributed in the spring. Its publication was financed solely through its sales. The fifteen-member student staff also included art editors Sue Geiger and Rosalie Guerre-Chaley. Becky Rauch was the associate art editor. l Front Row: D. DeWalt, B. Cooley, S. Braun, B. Rauch, L. Pulli, R. Guerre-Chaley, D. Moyer. Row two: P. Burnett, M. McKeown, E. Gibson, S. Grabert, S.

AVA BEAR adds feature stories, introduces new staff systemg The Bear staff tried a new approach in organization this year, in an attempt to give each mem ber greater responsibility. Members decided on an area of interest - writing, layout, or photography. From this, mini-staffs were created. Each editor was then assigned her own staff, and students reported to their particular editors for assignments during each club period. Meetings were held during eighth period on Tuesdays and Thurs- days, with occasional after-school sessions. Also new was the addition of feature stories to the senior pages. Intended to better explain the candids, the features were written about school-related topics riff Zi f . A that were not covered in other sections of the book. These new approaches were only two of the ideas that the staff learned about through a summer yearbook conference. Two members of the club attended the week-long convention. With the help of advisers, Mrs. Margaret Huffert and Mrs. Jacqueline Runkle, Pat Murphy handled the duties of editor-in-chief. Assistant editors in- cluded Denise Stetler flayoutl, Diane Geiger fliteraryj, Wendy Levengood fphotographyj, Gretchen Trout fcap- tionsl, Wendy Brumbach lstatisticsj, and Elka Nutt fbusiness managerl. .i .

Middle: Seniors Shaune Evans, jill Drauschak, and Cinny Erb cheer at their last football game, the an- nual Thanksgiving Day meeting with Spring-Ford. Squads continue to promote spirit Offering support to all varsity teams required hard work, spirit, and dedication from the members of the cheering squad. It also required an early start, which the girls had, under Mrs. Becky Callagher's direction, and captain Audrey Berky's and co-captain Ginny Erb's leadership. To prepare for the school year, the girls attended a one-week cheering . camp at Shippensburg State College. In Ches-Mont cheering competition, the varsity squad placed first among the par- ticipating schools. During the fall, the girls planned seven pep rallies and handled the traditional Spirit Week. An added feature this year was a legs box . The box had three slots with a picture of a football player's legs above each slot. Students placed pennies in the slots representing their grades. They could also place silver coins in another class's slot to be used against that cIass's total. The class that accumulated the most money had the best-looking legs. Each cheerleader became one foot- ball player's guardian angel. Sending letters, leaving candy, and decorating lockers were only a few of the angels' tasks. During the winter months, the girls turned their attention to basketball. Practices increased because basketball - games were ,played twice a week. TOD left? Kneeling? A- Berkv lCaDt-l.

Besides their usual Thanksgiving programs, Christmas con- certs, and community Lenten services, the group participated in an exchange program with students from Stoneham, Mass. Also, most of the chorus members participated in the presentation of the musical show, Carousel. Featured in many chorus programs was a barbershop quartet called the Apper-Dapper Dans.

In an attempt to overcome financial difficulties, CUB added a special in- centive to its annual subscription drive. Students who bought a newspaper sub- scription received a discount on a school mug. The pitch worked, and Cub found itself with the largest circulation in its history. Other fund raisers included bake sales and the annual Fashion Show. The circulation was handled DY the largest staff in several years. Denise Stetler, editor-in-chief, organized the group with the help of Tracey Zimmers, feature editor, and Art Walsh, sports editor.

They also donated 5150 to Children's Hospital of Philadelphia to be used for cancer research. The club's weekly meetings were con-. ducted by Mrs. Lucy Strzelecki. Frequently, representatives from hospitals and health agencies spoke to the group about nursing and health care programs. Spirit ribbon sales again became the big money-making project for the group. Under officers Constance Cox, president, Michelle Lott, vice-president, and Elaine Schmidt, secretary-treasurer, they made enough money to offer two S200 scholarships to seniors planning ko enter the nursing profession.

The research and reading libraries were combined in the old Reading Library while construction of the new library was underway. Club members worked during their study halls shelving books, signing out materials, and moving boxes of library equipment when construction was com- pleted. During their club periods, mem- bers discussed new books and listened to guest speakers. With the help of officers Pat Billy, president, Lindsay Huddleson, vice- president, Phyllis Davidheiser, secretary, and Ron Rohrbach, treasurer, the club sold cookies to raise money for two trips. Members traveled to New York to see a Broadway show and to Kutztown State College for the Teenage Library Association meeting. In May the club held a picnic at the Bechtelsville Park. The club also offered a scholarship to a student planning a career in library science.

PepClub Seniors concentrate on activities, '77 free of financial problems The senior class and its executive committee found itself in a unique position - they had no money problems. With the success of the class play and the Rolz Roice concert, they were able to concentrate all their energies on senior activities without financial worries. There were two major activities plan- ned by the executive committee. An op- tional overnight class trip to Mt. Airy Lodge highlighted the year for many seniors. Approximately 40'M1 of the class participated, with half of those opting to stay for only one day. The big social event was the prom.

Their jobs included building scenery for plays and the musical, some painting of scenery for small shows, handling lighting and sound during performances, and building stages for special events such as graduation. Most of the work for these projects was done after school. Occasionally a few members of the crew accompanied a theater group to com- petitions held outside of school, and sometimes they worked in the summer for a local theatre group. To remain inconspicuous while doing scenery changes during the plays, the group adopted an all-black uniform. The black shirts and club patches were given to each member, they had to supply their own black slacks, New members were admitted by a voting system. Interested students worked with the group for several shows, and then the crew voted whether or not to accept him as a member. The crew was organized by Chief Kevin Fulmer, with Dennis Cabel serving as secretary. ,if ff Q W Stage Crew Top right: At the close of a performance, Dennis Bottom: Mide BaUmV3n adl'-15t5 the llghflng gY5Tl3m Cabel beging the Cleanup prgcegg- Here he Windg during a dress rehearsal to insure that everything an electrical cord for easy storage. will 80 5m00tl lY On Opening night- 50 i x Bottom left: In a primary grade classroom, Sue Kit- trell helps a child learn to write.

YEA 'X - , It takes all kinds A-...ix 56 Q athletics Team work, team spirit - they were definitely a part of the sport scene at Boyertown. How else could you come up with Ches-Mont titles and broken records? But there was still room to be yourself. Still room to run a private race with yourself to improve your own record. Still a place for the student who was on a team because he loved the sport. It took a lot of individual hopes and talents to make Boyertown teams what they were. Top: In order to achieve a winning season, teams l1Il' dergo long, hard practices. After one of these prac- tices, catcher Tony Lambert rests while he considers his perfonnance.

Injuries, weather plague team, Roth sets school rushing record Endurance and perseverance are a big part of any sport, but this year's grid- ders needed more than usual. Although the team had less than a .500 record, several individual players had out- standing seasons. junior running back Brian Roth, who set new school rushing records, was named to the All Ches-Mont team, and senior Steve Gehringer made the All- Berks first team. Four other seniors - jeff Herb, Dave Yanusko, Kevin Mackey, and Steve Eorgan - received honorable mentions for the All-Berks team. After all the grueling practices the football players endured, the weather conditions at the games couldn't have presented many problems. But the weather did cause some difficulties. Two games had to be postponed because of heavy rain, and several games were played during an un- seasonable cold spell. Some players also had to endure watching from the sidelines, as illness and recurring injuries kept them from playing. Starters Tony Lambert, Yanusko, Mackey, and Roth missed much playing time.

No matter what the situation was at the half, Coach Sorber always had a speech for the team in the locker room. A good job in the first two quar- ters merited a Keep up the good work address, a poor first-half showing drew a grim Let's get moving lecture. A special moment for the football team was the night before the last game -the Thanksgiving Day game at Spring- Ford. The team, managers, and coaches met on the football field for a pep talk conducted by Mr. Sorber. Players who had earned varsity letters were in- formed, and all seniors were given a small red football donated by the Booster Club. The evening ended with the players walking around the field. The seniors then shook hands with the underclassmen. Other highlights for all the players included the cupcakes on the bus after an away game, victory parades, and the rides home - either sadly recalling the loss or jubilantly celebrating the victory.

Frustration hits as hockey ends Hockey is a rough sport, and the team, headed by Coach Susan Benfield, works very hard. During the hockey season, the girls practice every day from 3 o'clock until 5 o'clock, and, although not too many fans show up for their games, they still display much en- thusiasm. The team started out with a winning streak but hit a snag toward the end of the season. The problem was that they played their easier opponents first, and had to face the four tough teams right in a row. The roughest game was a night game played against Spring-Ford. With captains Pat Kriebel and Kelly lmbody urging the team on, Boyertown looked good in that match, but lost the game in the last three minutes. Since the team got new uniforms last season, there was no reason for any fund-raising projects. The only activity besides the games was the dinner for the hockey players, which was held in December. Varsity letters were awarded during the after-dinner ceremonies. The team was composed mostly of un- derclassmen, especially juniors. There were only three seniors who started each game. The high scorer of the season was a senior, captain Pat Kriebel. Seated: M. Browder, C. Miller, K. lmbody lco-captl, M. Dugan, P. Kriebel ico-capt.J, R, Herb. Kneeling: P. Sheafer, A. Youse, E.

Hockey Cross country goes to states, adds girls' team Coached by Mr. Donald Hendricks, the cross country team enjoyed another successful season. Triggered by the special contributions of co-captain Tim Croff and junior Todd Bergey, the team won the Ches-Mont race held at Ursinus College. That feat had to be considered a team effort, because five of the Boyer- town runners placed in the top twenty. In the district meet held at Valley Forge, Tim Groff placed first, becoming District I champion. This victory sent him and Todd Bergey, who placed four- th, to the state championships held at Penn State. They placed third and fourth respectively. Cross country added a girls' team this year. Although they got a late start, the girls also went on to Ches-Mont finals, where four of the girls placed among the top fifteen finalists. The team worked almost every day af- ter school preparing for the meets. Co- captains Wayne Townsley and Tim Croff led the team through some vigorous routines.

They practiced during the summer from 8 o'clock to12 o'clock in the morn- ing. These practices included warm ups, passing and scoring drills, running what they called their cross country course, and a lot of sweat. The last half hour was usually spent scrimmaging.

The team broke all but six school records, and most of the members improved on their own best times. Coach lim Bodolus took the Polar Bears to meets held at Norristown during the first half of the season, and at Muhlenburg during the second half. They competed against eight other schools. Under captains Tim Croff and Mike Hartman, the team captured both cham- pionships, enabling seven members to move on to the state championships at East Stroudsburg. At the state meet, Tim Groff set the state indoor record in the two-mile run. The team prepared for competition with after-school practices. While the weather was still cold, they did their workouts in the school. Later in the season, when the weather improved, they moved outside. The girls on the team participated in all of the practice sessions, even though they only got to compete in one meet. The after-school routine included calisthenics and warm-ups, during which the team ran laps through the halls and up and down the fire tower stairs. On oc- casion, they also used the universal gym.

Twenty-five and one was an impressive record - marred only by a one-point, double overtime defeat at the hands of Henderson. The season started off well, with seven league wins. Coatesville was probably the closest game in the first half, but the Bears managed a 4-point win. After that, two more wins allowed the Bears to end the half with a 10-0 slate and the first half Ches-Mont title. The second half proceeded just as smoothly. The Pottsgrove game looked like a close one -they were even ahead during the fourth quarter - but the team still managed to produce a victory. Losing to Henderson was the one low point of the second half. Even so, the Top right: Leaping over the Raider defense, Harry Gerlott bangs home two points.

Much credit was given to captain Tom Unger and to Randy Alter, the team's leading scorer and rebounder. Another senior, Scott Gilbert, contributed greatly with his shooting ability. luniors Harry Gerlott, Rick Marburger, and Art Walsh put in good performances as well.

Girls' basketball had several things going against it. The players were generally young and inexperienced. Only one senior, captain Cheryl Miller, played varsity for the entire season.

Despite such problems, there were highlights. One of the best games was with Pottsgroveg the team beat the Falcons by a score of 65-17. Other Kneeling: D. Kish, E. Thompson, C. Miller, M.

Girls' Basketball Grapplers grab more experience in non-league, tournament matches Working on the theory that more mat- ches meant more experience, Coach Mike Lunn's wrestlers were optimistic about their 19-meet season. This year's additional matches were scheduled with non-league schools. They included Wilson, Governor Mifflin, Conestoga, and Upper Darby. The theory worked to a degree. lt was a good season in that the team had more wins than ever before, and also managed to defeat several schools that had won over Boyertown last year. Those wins were against Coatesville, West Chester East, and Henderson.

Of the seven grap- plers who qualified for the finals, senior Steve Eorgan, who had the best overall record I13-4-11 on the team, won the title of the 145-pound weight class at that tournament.

The team lost its nine league games. Coach Marcia Brumbach and captains Kelly Imbody and Cheryl Miller tried to revive the team in the second half with a switch in tactics - they went from a man-to-man defense to a zone defense - but the plan failed. The only bright spots in the season were a come-from-behind win against Methacton, and a tie with Upper Perkiomen, also a non-league team. The team also did well in two playdays it at- tended.

With the help of captains Pat Kriebel and Robin Herb, the team started the season with a 10-5 win over St. Pius. Up- per Perk suffered defeat twice at the hands of the Bearettes - with scores of 29-9 and 14-3. In the next round of games, the team lost to Governor Mifflin, but came back strongly against St. Pius and Owen j. Roberts. The Bearettes then went on to victories against Wilson, Upper Merion, and West Chester Henderson. The team lost its first league game to Downingtown, 6-O, but followed with a series of wins again. After a loss to Coatesville, the Bearet- tes were forced to face that team again in the playoffs. There was a three-way tie for second place in the league. The Bearettes won that game and then en- tered the District 1 Championship play- offs. They claimed victory in the first two games against Christopher Dock and Ridley. However, they lost to William Tennant in the semi-finals. That ended district competition and the soft- ball season.

For example, Coach Dick Ludy's team won seven out of nine shut outs - a fine reflection of the team's pitching depart- ment. Also, the team worked hard for that record. They practiced six days a week, concentrating mainly on defense. One important game of the season was the meeting with Great Valley. The Patriots, recognized as the best hitting team in the league, lost to the Bears, 1-0. That victory clinched the northern division title for Boyertown. The Bears' best defensive game of the season was played against their closest rival, Owen l. Roberts. It was another win for Boyer- town. One other challenging game was with Henderson. The Bears' 1-0 victory was not determined until the final in- ning. The Bears' record put them in com- petition forthe Ches-Mont title, but they were eliminated by Downingtown. The team, led by co-captains Kevin Mackey and Steve Gehringer, made its strongest marks in pitching and defense.

Bottom right: Mental preparation is a great factor in track, as Mark Austerberry's ex- pression shows. New events added, records broken by girls' and boys' track teams Both the boys' and girls' track teams were coached by Mr. Don Grim. They practiced together and competed against the same schools, but their meets were scheduled for different times and they had their own captains. Basically a young team, the boys had only six seniors. Two of those - Tim Croff and Mike Hartman - served as co-captains. Under their leadership, the team managed to break several records, including the 2-mile relay and the mile and 2-mile runs. In addition, Tim Groff broke the Berks County record for the 2- mile. Their overall winning season was marred by only three losses. One of those was a real cliffhanger - a one- point loss to West Chester.

In addition, 110-yard low hurdles replaced the 80-yard low hurdles. The girls' season had good and bad points. First of all, several records were broken. These included the mile, the 2- mile, the long and high jumps, javelin, the 440, and the 100-yard dash. The big problem was the fact that the team lacked depth. Only 22 girls joined the team, and usually only15 competed. The girls were captained by Mary Mohn.

Track Girls' tennis has rebuilding season With only three seniors, the girls com- piled a varsity Ches-Mont record of 3-7. Direction was given by Coach Susan Levv and captain Elka Nutt. Highlights included shutouts against Methacton and Spring-Ford. The first away game was also memorable. The match lasted until 8:00 and the bus had some mechanical difficulties on the way home. To celebrate the end of the season, the girls held a picnic. The members of the boys' team attended and were defeated by the girls in a challenge match. While the major obstacle this year was rebuilding, the young team produced positive results. Bearettes Opp. 'Methacton 5 0 'Quakertown 6 1 'Upper Perkiomen 6 1 Owen 1.

Disappointing boys' tennis record still improved over other seasons The overall varsity record of 4-12 might not look too promising, but it is part of a slow and steady improvement in boys' tennis at Boyertown over the past few years. In fact, it was the best record in the last four years. The major factor in the building process that is going on is practices. The boys worked out on the courts every af- ternoon from 3 to 5 and on Saturday mornings from 9 to 12. A new ball machine was also a help during practice sessions. Two close matches were against Owen 1. Roberts and Pottstown. The Owen j. Roberts match depended on the second doubles team for a win. ln the Pottstown match, the team won the first set, lost the second, but came back to win the third.

Bot- tom: lnquirer Athletes of the Week included Tom Unger, Brent Miller, Harry Gerlott, Brian Bealer, Scott Gilbert, and Tim Croff, Athletes gather individual awards Teamwork makes a good team better, but every team has its stars and MVP's. The basketball team probably had the greatest share of outstanding players. Tom Unger, captain, was named to the All-Ches-Mont and All-Berks first teams and the Philadelphia Inquirer first team. He was also an Inquirer Athlete of the Week and received an honorable men- tion to the AP All-State team. Randy Alter was also named to the All-Ches- Mont and All-Berks first teams, as well as to the Philadelphia Bulletin first team, the Inquirer second team, and the UPI All-State second team. In addition, he was named to the Berks-Schuylkill All-Star team, received an honorable mention to the American Press All-State team, and played in the Dapper Dan Classic. Harry Gerlott and Scott Gilbert made All-Ches-Mont second team, received honorable mention to All- Berks, and were named Athlete of the Week. In football, three players were recognized. Brian Roth was named to the All-Ches-Mont first team, jeff Herb, to the All-Ches-Mont second team, and Steve Gehringer got an honorable men- tion. Cross country had two unanimous choices on the All-Ches-Mont team - Tim Groff and Todd Bergey. Groff was also selected as an Inquirer Athlete of the Week. In other sports, Pat Kriebel received an honorable mention to the All-Ches- Mont hockey team. Trackman Brent Miller and wrestler Brian Bealer were named Athlete of the Week. As an added honor to Boyertown's athletes, three teams - basketball, baseball, and track - won the Potts- town Mercury Mercury Cup for the best won-lost record in the area.

X NIT: Q ambitions No matter what a student's interests were, there was a course to fit the bill. Serious academic students found challenges in the choices they made. They even added their own challenges. Taking two sciences or doubling up in math, for example, were not un- common occurrences. Neither was taking two languages at a time or several quarter courses. Business, vo-tech, and general students had courses designed to prepare them for work. There were also programs that introduced them to real work experiences while they were still in school. Vs Vo-Tech students fit requirements into schedules at two schools Students at Boyertown interested in learning a trade or preparing for a specific career attended the Berks Vocational-Technical schools. Working with the vo-tech students this year was Mr. Dale Bangs. This year was Mr. Bangs' first chance to counsel the vo-tech students. His key job was to make sure the students took all of their required courses at the high school. Since vo-tech students spent only half a day at the high school, and had to fit in their required courses in that time, their choice of electives was limited. Sophomores were exempt from taking Middle: Chris Kratzer works on a rough draft of some plans he must do for Machine Drafting class.

During their junior year, students had to register for history and gym. For the seniors, POD, health, and gym were required. Besides these courses, each student had to schedule an English course every quarter. At the Vo-Tech school, the students had to pass at least one year of mathematics, regardless of their career choices. The majority of the students took career math, a practical math course. Several programs, however, required an academic math. l l 1 i i i i Top right: Printing, one of the many courses offered BOUOVTI fighif Dean KUEDP keepi his AfChifSCtUI'Bl at Vo-Tech, is Lasi Conzales's speciality.

Popular with the female students was Cosmetology. Auto Mechanics and Car- pentry were favored among the boys at- tending Vo-Tech. All of these courses presented students with theory and practical experiences. Several careers were basically in- tellectual programs. The three most popular courses in this area were Elec- tronics, Career Chemistry, and ln- strumentation. After completing two years of training at the Vo-Tech school, students were given the opportunity to go on a super- vised work program referred to as co-op. They worked for half a day at a job in their chosen field.

Art classes continued in popularity, with rug weaving, basket making, and sketching attracting much interest. The introduction of Potter of the Week created a keener sense of competition among student potters. A new kick wheel was also purchased. The music department added new programs and dropped others for economic reasons. A chorus exchange program with Owen 1. Roberts and an or- chestra exchange with Coatesville was planned. A band concert was held in April. Voice classes, string instrument lessons, and ensemble were dropped, and chorus sessions were cut down. Alice M. Cerhart Clarence C. Gerhart David L. Larson Linda K.

Trips are planned to provide students with a better understanding of the culture and language they have been studying. The language curriculum offered five study areas - French, German, Spanish, Latin, and Russian. Because of low enrollment, Russian was not available as a major subject, but as a club.

Office job Training, a new semester course, was offered to senior clerical students only. Each student received a job simulation packet to complete on his own. Advertising classes visited the Mor- ning Call advertising department and the Hess Brothers interior and exterior displays. These experiences helped them when they designed their own ad- vertisements. One other new course offered, again on a semester basis, was Personal Typing ll, a course primarily for college-bound students.

Independent Study was offered to academic students with department ap- proval. During any one quarter, the student worked on an English-related area of personal interest. This quarter could be elected as an extra course, or as a substitute for a regular course. After being assigned a department adviser, each student independently researched and prepared his project. Projects ranged from an original play to a multi- media presentation. Over 300 students took Film History during third quarter. It was scheduled during one quarter only because several films had to be ordered for the classes. Grammar Review was offered to students who felt a need to brush up on basics, and Propaganda exposed manipulative techniques used in ad- vertisements and politics, and the in- fluence of media in general. . Mr. Raymond Fulmer, department chairman, also supervised a reorganization of the English curriculum which will go into effect next year.

The class met from 7:30 to 8:15 each morning. There were usually about eight students in at- tendance. Other calculus students, and those who missed their early session, met during the regularly scheduled eighth period class. Computer programming was a new course this year.

Several Algebra II students had an ex- tra stimulus to do well in the course. Periodically, students came into class to discover a stumper - an especially difficult algebra problem - on the back bulletin board. The first three students in each class to solve the problem received extra credit.

Tenth-grade health students learned emergency care for accident victims, holding a Disaster Day to practice their skills. They also discussed the ef- fect of drugs, alcohol, and tobacco on the human body. Seniors studied physiology and human sexuality, with more emphasis on films and video tapes. They also learned to take blood pressure readings. The physical education department, with Miss Marcella Wise as chariman, made preparationsgthis year for negct year's cramped conditions. No new courses were introduced, and more visual aids were added to the program. Team sports remained the most popular gym classes. In safety education, each student was required to present a Work-Module report to the class. Only seven percent of the students took the classroom phase of safety education, even though it provides a clearer understanding of the Pennsylvania driving laws. New cars were purchased this year for the driver experience phase. Students who took on-the-road instruction were taken out driving during the school day. Phys.

Students considering careers in medicine selected the Human Physiology class. During the course, they ran tests on mice and chicks, and had electrocardiograms and blood sam- ples taken and explained. Sophomore biology students were in- volved in a variety of activities. Several classes were required to turn in an insect collection. The students had to categorize insects by classes. Most tur- ned in collections consisting of at least 60 insects. In the process, they learned different mounting techniques, such as l Middle left: Working with the scaler to count elec- Middle fighii Marla Stauffer find that Clean-up tronic radiations, Gerry Manley completes an Ad- time in chemistry can be as toilsome as the ex- vanced Chemistry assignment.

Other biology classes were given different types of food which they tested for protein synthesis. In a unit on genetics, all students tried some type of genetic test. A few classes ran tests with phenylthicarbanide CPTCJ paper. Some people can distinguish a certain taste on the paper, others can- not. Another test was to see who had the ability to roll his tongue, again not all people displayed that genetic trait. Physics, earth and space, and astronomy classes took frequent trips to the planetarium, and laboratory work was common practice in several classes. Science Donald K, Grim Robert H.

Practicality, travel, elections get emphasis in social studies In the fall, the presidential campaign kept many social studies classes par- ticularly busy. Students were assigned special projects, and all classes held a mock election. The results were in agreement with the national outcome. Practical matters concerned senior POD students. They learned about pur- chasing stock and filing income tax returns. A trip to the Reading Court House gave them a chance to see the judicial system in action. Another tour, to a General Motors plant, made them aware of mass-production techniques. The emphasis in junior social studies classes was on American history. A trip to Washington, D.C., on May 12 gave students the opportunity to visit the U.S. Capitol, the Lincoln Memorial, and the Washington Monument. Sophomores took a world cultures course that covered western and eastern Europe, Latin America, and the U.S.S.R. In addition, several electives, which were open to all students, were offered. These included Western Civilization and World Geography. Mr. Gene Rinehimer was chairman of the social studies department. fait ff? it Af f 12 f Tiff X ch 5 I fi- . ::- .Qs 19 N, Wiz 62' ' 3- 5, ' .az ,uf t 4 ' -.1-xy., f:,, 4 -. 1 Eugene Rinehimer john D.

With counselors assigned to specific grades, the department was able to work more efficiently to help a greater number of students. Working with the seniors, Mrs. Margaret Hanley aided students in career selection. juniors faced with problems made appointments with Mrs. Elizabeth Stackhouse. New to this year's staff was Mr. joseph McClinchy, who helped sophomores adjust to the high school system. Mr. Dale Bangs assisted vo-tech students. The school nurse, Mrs. Lucy Strze- lecki, handled such first-aid situations as cut fingers, headaches, and sprains. Physical examinations for juniors and athletes were also given in the health suite with Mrs. Strzelecki's assistance. Mrs. Lea McLaughlin and Mrs. Gene Bielecki, the school librarians, worked under crowded conditions during most of the year. They oversaw the move into the new library when construction was completed. Special Education classes were hand- led by Mr, john Kirby and Mr. joseph Rettew. Mr. Dominic Casciano organized the work-study program.

Located in the gym lobby, the lounge provided seniors with a place to talk, snack, or sleep. The privilege brought on a few responsibilities also. Seniors had to report directly to the lounge, sign in, and stay there until the end of the period. They policed themselves, too. Student volunteers took the sign-in sheets to study hall teachers for attendance checks, and everyone realized that if the rules were not followed, the lounge would be closed.

Area craftsmen and artists display their talen- ts, and visitors enjoy watching them work and sampling or buying their wares. Food items were big sellers at this year's show. Homemade soups, peanut butter, and ice cream were popular of- ferings at the country kitchen and the general store. Crafts included quilting, broom-making, rug hooking, and pot- tery. Several senior high school students participated in the community project. Students who live in the township worked at booths, and many members of the football team contributed their muscle power to the running of the ap- ple cider press. WENDY ERB. LORI S.

With en- couragement from Mr. Kenneth Yoder and his student teacher, one student in the class devised a slap-shot hockey game and developed a plan for making it in the shop. Although the game was not difficult to make, construction was time-consuming. Since the project got underway in December, the class saw a good opa portunity to promote sales during the Christmas shopping season. They an- nounced that the game, complete with four sticks and two pucks, cost 54.00 per set, and they made the sets to order.

And naturally, everyone got involved in such seasonal pursuits as swimming, sledding, and skiing, Neighborhood street hockey, touch football, and baseball teams also kept friends in contact whether school was in session or not.

All one had to do was walk down the halls before or af- ter school to see what a bit of ingenuity and creativity could do. Suddenly, rows of drab, dull lockers took on per- sonalities of their own - or, at least, of their owners. Decorations could be simple - pic- tures of favorite rock groups, flower decals, or contact paper, but some lockers were more exotic. Band mem- bers hung their instruments in theirs. Several industrious students spent days constructing shelves for books, art projects, and miscellaneous personal items. One locker held a cuckoo clock that really worked, and battery-operated lamps added a touch of class to several others. Right: Although all lockers are not so elaborately decorated as Wayne Miller's, most have something to brighten the normally dull interior.

Most of these posters promoted school spirit for sports func- tions. These were drawn and put up by the Pep Club and cheerleaders. Posters for football and basketball games were taken down each week by the cheerleaders and mounted on bamboo poles, At the opening of every game the team ran through the poster. Other posters, however, advertised class activities such as dances, concerts, trips, and sales. Students campaigning for class elections also used posters for publicity. Any group that wanted to hang posters had to obtain permission from Mr, Patrick Kelly, assistant principal. Once the poster was approved, it was stamped with a removal date, usually for two weeks later. The group was then responsible for removing the sign.

They were also of- fered the option of eating in the canteen instead of in the cafeteria. With this privilege students had the opportunity to enjoy different foods. A popular choice was items from local piz- zerias. Some students preferred sand- wich shops where they had hoagies and steak sandwiches. At the beginning of the school year students received permission cards to be signed by their parents or guardians. Lunch permission cards were then issued. Only students with lunch passes were allowed to leave the school. If students chose to go out for lunch, they were required to carry their pass, One important rule was that students could not drive during lunch, so there was a limitation to the number of places students could patronize. Occasionally, bad weather was a discouraging factor, too, but, in general, students liked the idea and many took advantage of the system. if s - f Q s I ' X 151 Top left: From many options, Kathy Kehl and Marcy Snyder select pizza for one day's lunch Middle left: Hurrying back to his classes, Terry Moyer takes a shortcut through the parking lot.

During their junior year they organized to help in- crease enthusiasm at pep rallies and to win the spirit competition for their class. As seniors they managed to sit at the top of the bleachers for each rally. To mark their presence they hung a poster above their heads with the words 77 Rowdies. Using horns and megaphones, the Rowdies added volume to their cheers. - At each pep rally the boys wore blue T-shirts with the inscription Rowdies Inc. in red lettering. The shirts were designed by Rowdies' members and silk- screened by them in graphics class. Top right: Rowdie Bob Kish celebrates the Ches- Mont title with a giant 1.

Usually they were conducted on Friday afternoons. An alternate scheduling system was used on those days, so students would not miss eighth-period classes. Occasionally an assembly was held during a class period. Generally this hap- pened if the assembly was for a special group. P.O.D. students had the option of seeing a program on the trial-by-jury system, and members of the sophomore class had an assembly to explain their magazine sale. With optional assembly programs, students requested tickets during homeroom and turned in the tickets at the assembly. Students who did not wish to attend the program reported to homeroom. Two other popular assemblies this year were a faculty vs. students soccer game, and a program on advertising.

Equipment helps athletes build Increased strength - every athlete works for it. But the methods of reaching the goal can differ. One way was through working with the universal gym, probably the most widely-used piece of sports equipment in the school. Using this compact weight-lifting apparatus, a student could work on developing arm, chest, leg, and neck muscles. Football and tennis players, wrestlers, and runners made a point of fitting this program into their routines. Another device for improving strength was the Apollo exer-genie. That exercise system was based on the theory of isometrics, and was used for the first time this year by the boys' basketball team. The physical education department also offered a class in physical develop- ment which many athletes took. Besides improving ' strength, pre- paration for a season involved a sense of readiness. Getting in shape ranged from dieting to meet weight require- ments to limbering up before a game to avoid muscle pulls. 157 SONDRA WEST SHARON L.WlLK SHERRY A.

When the gas shortage reached a crisis stage, Boyertown followed Governor Milton Shapp's order and closed for three days. When school reopened, ther- mostats were turned down to 650 in classrooms, and 600 in halls, lavatories and gymnasiums. Students and teachers battled the colder temperatures by ad- ding extra layers of clothing. Snow was also a fact of life. With few warm days to melt the snow, it soon piled up around the building. Work crews managed to keep up with the never-ending chore of shovelling snow. gy i 158 Top right: A heavy blanket of snow covers the grounds in the front of the old building, evidence of the harshness of this winter.

Friday and Saturday nights were usually spent attending various sporting events. Football and basketball games consistently drew large crowds of student fans. After the games, students met at local eating places to discuss defeat or celebrate victory. Pizza parlors and fast-food restaurants topped the list of favorite hang-outs. If there were no sporting events on a particular weekend, Student Council, executive councils, or school clubs of- ten sponsored dances or concerts. Popular dances throughout the year were the Homecoming Dance, Valen- tine's Dance, Fifties Hop, and the usual after-the-game basketball dances. When nothing was happening at school, a popular place to go was to the local shopping malls. Many students spent their time window shopping, meeting friends, or playing the pinball machines in the game rooms provided at a few shopping centers. . Formal affairs also interested many students. In May students had the chan- ce to attend the junior Dinner Dance and the Senior Prom. Movie dates were popular, and when the weather got warmer, couples also enjoyed playing miniature golf at near- by golf courses. Weekend employment limited some of the social activities of numerous students. Many Boyertown students worked at farmers' markets. Their jobs ranged from selling meat and produce to making pizzas. Other students were employed by area merchants as clerks and cashiers. Restaurants hired students as waitresses, dishwashers, cooks, and bus boys. Pumping gas was a common job for several boys. Some students devoted their weekend free time to helping others. Bike-a-thons and walk-a-thons for worthwhile causes were publicized during the school week. Many participants came out on week- ends in support of those causes. Whatever the activity, BASH students kept busy on weekends.

' 5 7 -576- Weekends Sports fill time outside school Students at BASH got involved in sports outside of organized school athletics. Throughout the year, regar- dless ofthe weather, they found various sporting activities to occupy their free time. Individual talents were displayed by students who enjoyed skateboarding, surfing, skiing, cycling, swimming, and even frisbee throwing. Some students also organized their own softball and street hockey teams. Skateboarding was a big fad this year. Girls, as well as boys, tried all kinds of stunts including nose wheelies and handstands - after they learned the basic step of balancing themselves, Parking lots, sidewalks, and smooth hills were taken over. Not quite so common as skateboar- ding was surfing. Surfing required much of the same coordination but students had to travel to fairly distant shore poin- ts. For that reason, surfing had to be a weekend activity. Many students swam regularly at the Y.M.C.A. in Pottstown to prepare for summer swim teams or just as part of a personal physical fitness program. Cycling was also a popular pasttime. Bikes ranged from 50cc to1200cc. Some students rode their bikes to school, others enjoyed trail riding. During the winter months many students went to resorts to learn to ski or improve their technique. With the long period of cold weather this year, skiiers found plenty of opportunity. Students with interests in the out- doors spent their time hunting and fishing. Team sports were not forgotten after school, either. Boys from various com- munities formed teams for a field hockey league and a softball program. Games were played at the Bechtelsville and Boyertown Community Parks. Throughout the summer, community- sponsored games - baseball, basket- ball, volleyball - involved many students from the high school. Other Sports .

Kevin Mackey. 189 Senior Directory It takes all kinds. . . It's difficult to judge how much is ac- complished in a school year.
