il v. -. V y.- � : '-.''--v:- FOREWORD When you are about to leave a place in which you have spent a considerable amount of time, you like to pause and take stock of the experiences and pleasures that you have enjoyed. We, as Seniors, are in a similar position since our years at Conshohocken High School are ended. In looking back to gather our memories about us, we find at first that we seem to treasure things that are seemingly insignificant. But we suddenly realize that each of these small, trifling memories serves only to recall to us the bigger, more important riches that Conshohocken High has heaped upon us in opportunities, knowledge, responsibilities and friends. All these we have tried to embody in our YEARBOOK. We wish to acknowledge the help given us by the ;• :y. , y- ■ administration, our faculty and classmates in the y. preparation of the ECHO 1965. It THE SENIOR CLASS of CONSHOHOCKEN HIGH SCHOOL Presented Dedicated to MRS. DOROTHY KELLEY Mrs. Dorothy Kelley, by her unselfish devotion, wise judgment and understanding attitude, has helped us set challenging and enriching goals for which we will always strive. As we work toward these goals, we will always remember her interest in the students and her loyalty to Conshohocken High School. 5 DEDICATION 1965 Mrs. D. Kelly Superintendent of Schools I am very happy to bring to you, the class of 1965, a message of congratulations at such an important time of your life. We congratulate you upon your achievement which places you in the ranks of those who are the graduates of the American Secondary Schools. With the gradual evolution of the National and International social and economic pattern, you are confronted with the greatest challenge for service. Throughout the entire world all humanity is in need of a better understanding of love and human charity. So there comes to you the appeal to engage in a crusade to bring into being the idea of good will and understanding among our foreign neighbors as well as in our own United States. A crusade that will triumph over hatred and selfishness and set itself against nationalistic aspirations, which will arouse in all people the sincere spirit of universal solidarity, as a means for durable peace. As you go forth to do your part in shaping the destiny of the world, be resolute and courageous. Give the best you have to life and the world, and the best will come back to you. We extend our sincere wishes for a happy and useful life to you, the Class of 1965. Edward W. Oermann Superintendent of Schools 8 DISCIPLINARIAN Raymond N. Weaver Congratulations members of the class of 1965, upon the successful completion of your high school course. However, today's living insists you strive to continue with education. Whether you go to college, become a member of the armed forces or whether you go directly into industry, the knowledge and skills gained during your high school career should enable each one of you to continue your education in an intelligent, orderly manner. At no other time have young citizens been called upon to exert more confidence in themselves and their country's ideals than the present. May good fortune and success attend all your future efforts, and may each one of you receive a full measure of that happiness and peace of mind that comes as a result of sympathetic, gentle, and cooperative living with your fellowmen.

Carol Sithens Junior Varsity Guard Although small, the girls' basketball squad had a satisfactory season with a 3-4 record. High scorer Frieda Goodman, with 80 points for the season has two more years to play. Nevertheless, next year's team will sadly miss the expert playing and winning spirit of the varsity seniors, Penny Brown (this year's captain) Judy Lightkep, Mary Speaker, and Redia Todd. The old adage, Winners Never Quit, and quitters never win, reminds one of the inspiring attitude of the team. The girls were never quitters in any game; they were always winners. JUNIOR VARSITY -- K.

Hector Street 828-7615 CLASS HISTORY The history of the Class of '65 began in October, 1962, when, with enthusiasm and bewilderment, we began our three years in Conshohocken Senior High School. As sophomores, we were given our first opportunity to choose class officers. Judith Watkins was elected president; Judith Lightkep, vice-president; Barbara Ream, secretary; and Michael DePalma, treasurer. With the sale of Thanksgiving fruit cakes, we started our campaign to raise money for our class. The sale was so successful that it was extended through the Christmas season. In the spring, as another means of increasing our funds, we sold Mother's Day cakes. At the close of our sophomore year, our enthusiastic class made the Sophomore Hop an authentic Mardi Gras. To carry on the tradition of former years, we selected a May Court. Judith Watkins, our Class President, crowned James Squire king and Bethanne Bailey queen of the senior class. As juniors, we again elected class officers. Judith Watkins was elected president; Susan Chreiman, vice-president; Barbara Knoeller, secretary; and Michael DePalma, treasurer. Most of the energies of our class went into our biggest project, the selling of Christmas novelties. With every junior trying to meet his quota, the competition was great. As with all junior classes, the arrival of class rings created great excitement. We displayed them with pride and satisfaction. Looking forward to our senior year, we elected new officers. This time, there was a complete change of government. Ronald Coshin was elected president; Bette Bailey, vice-president; Reida Todd, secretary; and Penny Brown, treasurer. Then, as seniors, under the guidance of Miss Catherine Higgins and Miss Ethylene Erb, we started our final fund-raising projects. Our class earnestly set out to exceed its goal in the magazine sale. We did! Under the direction of Mr. David A. Sera, the class presented its Senior Play, The Curious Savage . The financial success of the play added handsomely to our treasury. On May 21, we held the Senior Prom at the Andorra Springs Country Club, which was transformed into a Polynesian Paradise . By sponsoring a dinner before the Prom, the Home and School Association contributed immensely to the success of the Post Prom Party and the breakfast. With our graduation came a sense of achievement. However, our many accomplishments would not have been possible without the interest and guidance of our superintendent, teachers, and our class advisors, Miss Catherine Higgins, and Miss Ethylene Erb. As our high school days at Conshohocken came rapidly to a close, we enthusiastically continued to look forward to greater achievements in the future. 83 CLASS OF ’65 WHO’S WHO MOST POPULAR..........

Sanders CONSHOHOCKEN HIGH SCHOOL 84 PROPHECY—CLASS OF 1965 After ten years of absence from my home town, during which time I climbed the Navy ladder to the office of Lieutenant Commander, I was drawn back to Conshohocken for the tenth reunion of my class. From the moment I stepped from my private submarine, which I docked at the HARRISON MARINA on the Schulyklll, I had one pleasant experience after another. I found there was a helicopter service available at the Marina, operated by GARY BOGLE and NICKY BOSCO. After greetings I went aloft with my old classmates and in short order they deposited me on the lawn of the Tower on the Hill, owned by LARRY MOSAKOWSKI. The charming hostess, JUDY LIGHTKEP, led me to a table on the terrace where the local membership of the Chamber of Commerce were lunching. I was greeted by one of the town’s most prosperous business men, BILLY BATCHLER. The guest speaker for the meeting was CHARLES HEFFENTREYER, a college professor of mathematics. He and his colleague, BRUCE BELLER-JEAU, were on sabbatical leave from Heffenjeau University situated on the outskirts of Conshohocken. After a delicious luncheon, prepared under the personal supervision of the Tower’s head chef, GARY GRAHAM who ate more then he cooked, I left the Inn and noticed for the first time a unique building on the other side of the street. On it was emblazoned BILLY LEPERA'S STRINGBEAN FACTORY.” This I had to see, for the building was constructed to resemble a string-bean, designed especially, I later learned by the famous architects, JOE PIZIAKand JOHNDiDONATO. I found Joe in his office and after chatting for a few minutes he offered to accompany me to town. We climbed into a huge Cadillac owned, Joe said, by RAY GAMBONE who had got his start by selling cars to unsuspecting classmates. We flashed down Fayette Boulevard, escorted by Chief of Police MARY SPEAKER in her official car. Joe suddenly drew up before a magnificent edifice -- Conshohocken High School. We chatted for a few minutes with the principal, SUSAN CHREIMAN who told us that JOYCE DOZIER was head of the chemistry department, HENRIETTA BROWN was coach of girls' sports, and MARGARET RICCI secretary to the superintendent. JOHN RONCRATI. As we left the school, a nurse in white approached us. It was KATHY WALTHER, supervisor of Frog Hollow Hospital where, she said, DORIS HITCHCOCK was head laboratory technician. She also told us that MARILYN PEARSON owned and operated a nursing home for homeless millionaires and that PAT McQUIRNS was in full charge of the Accounts Department there. I remarked that the school campus was a delight to the eye and Joe told me that it was all the work of landscape artist RICHARD ROMANO. We took the Cadillac (Ray hadn't sold it in our absence) and proceeded on our way. Gorgeous homes lined the street. One was owned by the famous opera singer, BARBARA REAM and another by the equally famous artist. RONNIE COSHIN. The sound of a siren was heard and we had to draw over to the curb. A mammoth piece of apparatus dashed by with, who else?, JOE BOVELL at the wheel. In the wake of the fire truck came a sound truck and from its loud speaker came the voice of BARBARA KNOELLER urging all voters to go to the polls and vote for her as future mayor of Conshohocken. Unaccountably the Cadillac developed a knock. A quick visit to JAMES FLOWERS' garage was made. James, as you probably know, was the first to win the Indianapolis 500. True, he fell from the cycle but got up and limped over the finish line pushing the cycle. While James worked on the car I glanced idly at a banner stretched across the street. Suddenly its message reached me — Grand Opening of the JUDY WATKINS Theatre — World Premiere of I Succeed My Father as an Artist , starring REIDA TODD, and singer MARY WELDON. Back on the road now, we soon reached the business section of town. We parked the car and walked, the better to notice the many prospering businesses -- the street abounded with them --Barbering DeLuxe, CARL MARCH, proprietor; THE THOMAS POLISKY SCHOOL OF BETTER ENGLISH; Carole's Chapeaux, CAROLE HANSELL, proprietress. The afternoon was waning and since we had been on the go for hours now, Joe suggested a stop at PARKER SMITH’S Weight Reducing Gymnasium. Here we found EDDIE WILLIAMSON warming up for his next game with the Philadelphia Limpers. MIKE DePALMA was there also on vacation from his head coaching job at Notre Dame while creating the great quackbacks of tomorrow. There was still much for me to see, so back to the business section we went. Over many shops were familiar names-- JANET WALSH and LINDA DeVITO, Unusual Hairdoes at Outlandish Prices! Close by was the spanking new automobile factory owned by GLENN WINANS and PETER GILDEIN, chief competitors of Ray Gam bone An attractive sign on a Colonial office building read -- JOHN DeVITIS, Attorney at Law. A short stop was indicated here. John's secretary, CAROL SITHENS, greeted us and brought us up to date on other classmates. ARTHUR FULMER was studying for his Ph.D. at Heffenjeau University; JACK SHIVICK had a Sax Studio where he taught students how to play in ten easy lessons and for ten expensive payments. I turned to leave and just then MADELINE DiSANTE snapped my picture. She owned, she said, a chain of camera shops from Maine to California, in partnership with BARBARA CONNELLY. I learned from Madeline that JOE KEELEY had gone into the rat trap business and that the public had already worn a path to his door. His business was so thriving that he employed DEBBIE ANDRAKA and NANCY ELLAM as secretaries. Madeline also had this to tell: BARBARA FORTES had recently won a contest for the fastest talker in the world, and that MARY ANNE NAMIOTKIEWICZ had won the Miss America Contest the previous year. Nothing would do but to visit the town's new airport. PEGGY INGLES had just flown in from Africa where she had visited her pet lion. On the way home Peggy had stopped to visit BRENDA THOMPSON on her plantation in Kentucky where her crop of soy beans was phenomenal. Peggy, always bubbly, was full of news items: SANDY RACICH had purchased the Conte Luna Spaghetti Factory and there PAT LUKE NS ran the noodles through an IBM machine; JIMMY VOLZ had been the first astronaut to land on Volz-land where he came face to face with his double! Our conversation was drowned out for a minute by the roar of a supersonic trackless train which whizzed by, operated by ROY SANDERS. Nothing strange about that, except that it was running sideways! Lunch was long in the past — time for dinner at a new nightclub featuring elevated stools for short people, the brainstorm of its owner, CHARLES KOLBASOWSKI. We were fortunate to find MICHAEL HOWELL enjoying top-billing at the club. He obligingly rendered Valerie for us as we dined in style. The lobby of the club, by the way, was most effectively decorated with an illuminated aquarium in which swam exotic, tropical fish raised by SUSAN McELWEE. Charlie, incidentally, had provided the best possible employment for our classmate Russell Bogle --he was the brawny club Bogard! Only two of our classmates were out of town -- FRANNIE OMAR was in Hawaii negotiating fora planeload of pineapples and BETTE BAILEY was in Sun Valley presiding as queen over the International skiing contest. It had been a busy day. I left Joe, after promising to be on hand for our Tenth Reunion at the Tower on the Hill the next day. Wearily I made my way back to the marina and my submarine to battln' the hatches until the next day. 85 CLASS WILL May it be remembered, that we, the Class of 1965, of Con-shohocken High School, of Montgomery County, in the State of Pennsylvania, being of sound mind, publish and declare this to be our Last Will and Testament, hereby, making void all former wills.
