Dieruff High School - Ledannus Yearbook (Allentown, PA)

Text from Pages 1 - 164 of the 1962 volume:

Presenting THE LEDANNUS Louis E. Dieruff High School Allentown, Pennsylvania Foreword We, the graduating class of 1962, are privileged to be the first class to have completed three years at the Louis E. Dieruff High School. These three years, the most important of our lives, form a triangle, the foun- dation upon which we shall build our futures. This triangle is in turn composed of three more triangles. The first represents the school administra- tion, our own Dieruff administration, and our faculty, who have made our education possible. The organi- zations, sporting events, and school activities forming the second triangle have provided us with opportuni- ties for physical and social education as well. The third triangle is that of our fellow classmates, class life, and school life. As we are about to step out into the new world opening before us, may we also look back to this Ledannus of 1962 and remember these happy years we have shared together at Louis E. Dieruff High School.

It is impossible to give them sufficient thanks for the doors they have opened to us, and the path to knowledge that they have cleared. We can only say that without them we would never be able to pro- claim ourselves the graduating class of 1962. The scheduling of classes is of importance to all students. This exacting work is done by Dieruffs administrative staff, Dorothy Filer. Thomas Schrader. Henry Weidner. and Russell Bear. Administration John S. Cartwright, Sc.D.

Your untiring patience, understanding, and genuine concern for us have made our high school years most pleasant ones. In years to come, we shall not think of you as merely an efficient administrator, but rather as a friend whose main interest was our welfare. We shall remember your cheerful smile, a pat on the back, words of encourage- ment, your presence as you dropped in on a class. For all you have given and will continue to give to the future stu- dents of our school, we offer a sincere thank you, Mr. Weidner. HENRY J. WEIDNER Principal RUSSELL P. BEAR Administrative Assistant To Mr. R. P. Bear If busy were a title, it would surely be applicable to you, Mr. Bear. As Mr. Weidner’s assistant, yours is the impor- tant duty of accounting of attendance and enforcement of discipline. But busy as you are, you have always found time to lend an attentive ear to our problems and have given assistance and advice whenever possible. You have contributed much to the smooth operation and pleas- ant atmosphere of our school, and we wish to extend our appreciation and thanks for your fine efforts. DOROTHY E.

Bankhard In Memoriam It is with regret that we note the passing on October 17, 1961 of Henry A. Bankhard, head teacher in the vocational department at D. H. S. Mr. Bankhard had devoted 22 years of his life to education in the public schools, 19 of which had been rendered in the Allen- town School System. Mr. Bankhard’s cooperativeness and loyalty is missed by the pupils, teachers, and administrators of Dieruff High School and the Allentown School Dis- trict.

They provided an opportunity to develop and share our interests with those who had the same interests. Organizations are, however, only one part of a triangle which also includes Athletics and Activities—a tri- angle of extracurricular education. Typical of our organizations is our Le dan ruts staff—a good team that worked well together. The staff members pictured are Pam Priolo, Theresa Woomer, Mary Ann Truchan, Carol Ziegenfus, Sandra Creitz, Barbara Toczck, Ronald Mitrisin, Bernice Werley, Sally Ann Ost. Janet Pcchacek, Carol Rehrig, Rose Tiwold. National Honor Society The National Honor Society is an organization based upon three ideals: leadership, citizenship, and out- standing scholarship. The purpose of the Society is to create an enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote worthy leader- ship, and to encourage the development of character. Recognition was given to Patrick Brong, Ruth Klopfenstein, and Barry MacLean for high achievement in the seventh annual National Merit Scholarship competition. Ruth attained semifinalist status, while Patrick and Barry both received letters of commendation. College preparatory seniors enjoy a social hour at the College Conference sponsored by the National Honor Society on December 21, 1961.

Hinkle, the Husky Marching Band performed at eight out of nine football games, every home basketball game, and various public functions throughout the school year. Undoubtedly, their very best performances were given during their pre-game and halftime shows. During these shows the band, accompanied by the majorettes with their flying batons and twirl- ing acts, entertained with many intricate routines, and the spectators roared with applause.

A smile from Eileen Richard, captain of our peppy cheer- leaders and Carol Lane, head of the high-stepping majorettes. Our cheerleaders display the Husky spirit at the Dieruff-Allen football pep rally. Cheerleaders Beginning in the spring of 1961, our cheerleaders learned and practiced the school cheers at a cheerleading clinic. The energetic girls who survived the semifinals and finals practiced throughout the summer and during the weeks of the school year. These cheerful girls, directed by Miss Mary Jane Kling, arc not chosen solely for their gymnastic ability. They must have good coordination, good expression, and a friendly smile. The cheerleaders we see at all major athletic events work hard to lead us in support of our teams. Seated: Judy Warmkessel. Pat Stocker. Lorraine Stimmel. stager, Ellen Hill.

Majorettes During the past year our squad of majorettes, sponsored by Mrs. Jean Weigner, delighted huge crowds with half-time performances at both football and basket- ball games. Much time was spent by these girls in perfecting the different drills and routines presented. In their chic blue and white uniforms, they commanded instant attention at the football games. The costumes they devised and made them- selves for their various routines at the basketball games were an indication of their ingenuity and interest in helping to promote the Husky spirit.

All members are senior girls who arc enrolled in the secretarial course. During the course of the year, the girls visited the Allen Laundry and took guided tours through the offices of the Bell Telephone Company and Bethlehem Steel. A make-up demonstration for senior girls sponsored by this club proved to be very successful. In the line of civic service, the girls typed a great number of envelopes for the Cancer Society. It is the hope of this organization that by the end of the year, the members will have learned to become dependable secretaries and will be ready to take positions in the business world.

Varsity Basketball The Varsity Basketball Team completed its 1961-1962 basketball schedule with a record of thirteen victories against nine defeats. This year's team provided many thrills for the spectators with its upset victories. The Huskies defeated the Bethle- hem Hurricanes on their own court after that team had won twenty straight games in the East Penn League. They prevented Easton from grabbing the league title by beating them in a thriller, 49-42, on the DHS court. Our boys kept their slate clean in Rockne Hall by whipping Central Catholic on its own court, 57-49. The team's biggest victory came when the Huskies stunned the Allen Canaries, 40-38, on February 16, in the Dicruff gymnasium.

Coach Dennis McGinlcy’s team captured the District XI Title and took second place in the State Championships. In taking the District XI Title, the Huskies scored 101 points, the highest score ever recorded in a district meet and took away William Allen's twenty-seven-year dominancy of District XI swim titles. In state competition, Rick Hollister came out first in the 50-yard freestyle event and second in the 100-yard freestyle competition. Chic Langnehs gained a third in diving and was on the 200-yard medley relay team that finished in a sixth-place tie with Pennsbury, Also on the team were Ricky Ackey, Tony Doll, and Harry Schaeffer. The Huskies’ 200-yard freestyle relay team also copped a third-place finish. On the team were Steve Long, Bill Hodge, Fred SchifTner, and Dick Diefen- derfer. Rick Hollister State Champion All-American Rick Hollister, who won the 50-yard freestyle state title in his junior year broke his own record on March 10, 1962 at the Bucknell University pool. Rick swam the 50-yard freestyle in 22.2 to snip one-tenth of a second off his 22.3 time set last year. The mark also was a Bucknell pool record and a DierufT school rec- ord. Rick also set a school record, swimming the 100- yard freestyle in 50.2, and statewide came out second in this competition. 62 Fred SchifTner practices a start previous to a meet.

Dieruff vs. Allen Pep Rally On the night of October 19, 1961, tension was mount- ing and school spirit was running high. This was the night before the DierufT vs. Allen game and a few hundred students were on hand to lend support at the mass pep rally. The enthusiastic cavalcade began in the school parking lot and paraded through the neigh- borhood, pausing at Mr. Weidner’s home to sing the Alma Mater, then returned to bury “Poor Willie Allen” in effigy. The pep rally was a fun-filled prel- ude to the big game and the victorious Huskies proved again that DierufT is “the” school.

The Country Hop One of the biggest record dances of the school year was held in the cafeteria on November 22, 1961. The first annual Country Hop, sponsored by the Future Nurses Club, was counted a huge success by the 200 students who attended. The holiday atmosphere was heightened by the attractive decorations, square danc- ing under the direction of Rev. “Posie” Shcirer of Pottstown, a turkey raffle, and homemade refresh- ments, all of which combined to make a fun-filled evening for all those present. “Refreshments, anyone?” ask Roberta Kratzer and Shar- on Wassum Edward Roche, Phyllis Tretter, Joanne Jackson.

Bob Dorshimer, Marty Reinsel, and Louie Pacaro. “Let’s face the music and dance” say these dancers as they form a line for the Continental. As the musical pace slows down, this dreamy- eyed couple—Connie Picchio and Pete Sokal- sky—seem lost in a world of their own. The Senior Splash The Senior Class held its third annual splash party on January 27, 1962. The affair was held in the school natatorium, where 65 energetic swimmers participated in two hours of liquid fun. Various water games were the order for the evening, including umbrella, balloon, and sack races. Balloon, balloon, who’s got the balloon? An elusive balloon can provide a lot of fun in the water. Fun-loving seniors and friends pose for the photographer to provide a photographic record of those present. Donny Walters is glad to lend a helping hand to fellow swimmers Jackie Pracd. Cathy Hen- ning. and Nancy Oakley. 79 Several members of the cast pose for a picture backstage. Seated: Olga Fartuch, Jo Ann Wilde, Irene Graver, Sharon Kuhns. Charles F.ddingcr.

Mrs. MeTh ng The Senior Class Play, “Mrs. MeThing,” was presented on February 8 and 10, 1962. with Barbara Toczck, Mary Handwerk, and Guy Eastman in the leading roles of Mrs. Larue, Mimi, and Howay Larue respec- tively. The play was a delightful fantasy about a witch who takes revenge on people by replacing them with “sticks.” Characters included a trio of delightful “mobsters” who successfully stole many of the scenes. The play was directed by Mr. Bernard Schimmel, whose innate talent once again helped us to achieve a success- ful performance. Mimi (center) and her two mothers all meet on the staircase. The other members of the cast include Diane Tannous, Tcrric Woomer, Mary Handwerk, Bar- bara Toczck, Guy Eastman, Diane Young, Barbara Vaccaro, Carol Fitzpatrick.

The idea of “the two points of view” necessary for the effect of stereophonic sound was dem- onstrated by Eugene Heydt. Recognition was given Ruth Klopfcn- stcin for her experiment concerning the comparison of mathematical prob- ability and actual outcomes derived from experiments using three dice. Mike DePaolis experimented with one of the wonders in the field of electronics—a starved circuit amplifier. He proved that small sounds can be amplified well over 2.000 times through the use of only a few volts on the elements of the tubes. 82 A project on the effect of temperature on surface tension gave Thomas Gcschcl an achievement citation. Lehigh Valley Science Lair DierufFs third annual Science Fair was held on Febru- ary 26 and 27, 1962, in the lobby of the school. On display were some 200 science projects prepared by students who were enrolled in science courses. Over 1,000 visitors viewed projects about atoms, stereophonic sound, missiles, animals, foods, machines, and human beings. From this wide assortment, the judges selected twenty projects to be entered in the sixteenth annual Lehigh Valley Science Fair, held each year at Muhlen- berg College. A diffusion cloud chamber was demonstrated by Lynn Miller. The wheatstone bridge, an electrical device used for precise measurements of unknown resistance, was the project entered by George Dolgos. -L f u-i± Li X L, f r Ya-i Sf.th Senior Fun Night Fun night participants engage in their favorite pastime— the “Twist.” Dan Killian cooperates with Mr. Miller by going into a deep sleep. On Friday evening, March 2, 1962, the senior class sponsored its fun night. This action-filled night was a Mr. Fred Miller, a hypnotist, entertained by “casting a spell upon several students. Various “fun” awards were presented to deserving seniors, and a review of the “newest books” in the DierufF library was presented. The evening’s entertainment was complemented with dancing for everybody. All in all, the night of March 2 was a profitable one and a night of fun for the senior class. Jimmy Smith, Nan Miller, and Larry Nicholas try to improve their version of the “Conti- nental.” While in a hypnotic state, Joan Witczak does her version of the twist. Student Government May 2, 1962 marked the date for the third an- nual Student Government Day, in which seniors elected by the student body acted as county offi- cials. These students traveled to the courthouse, where they were greeted by their assigned hosts and then proceeded to learn the duties of their respective offices. Highlights of the day included a pictorial preview of the new courthouse and a luncheon at the Lehigh Valley Club. The event was sponsored by the Allentown Junior Chamber of Commerce and organized by Mr. Peter Sardo. Carol Turner, inspector, approves the voting registra- tion of Mary Handwcrk, as Penny Fries and Nancy Esterly look on.

Bon Jour—Au Revoir The Senior Prom, “Bon jour.” was held on June 8 at Dorney Park’s Castle Garden with Matt Gillespie’s orchestra providing a variety of dance music. After three hours of dancing, the seniors and their guests en- joyed a post-prom party, “Au Revoir,” at the Moose Home. The party, which started at 12:30 A. M. and ended at 3:30 A. M. was sponsored by the Sertoma Club. “Hurry up with that picture so we can twist again!” say Don Tomasik. Rusty D’Arconte, Roland Russoli. and their guests, and Jackie Fisher, Jean Sterner. Dan Killian, and Dennis Evans. Dave Morrow, Marty Reinscl. Vince Rota, Charles Shimaneck, Cilen Dilchcr. and guests exclaim. Who says we can't all sit together?” A false ceiling makes everyone feel cozy. “Of course I want to dance the last dance, says Nancy Sue Oakley to her guest. Wow, dancing sure makes one hungry! Eileen Richard was chosen as our lovely prom queen, while Carol Lane and Anita Kloiber were the runnersup. 3 Oreste D'Arcontc and Janet Pcchacck—the speakers for the senior class. Mr. George York, Dr. John Cart- wright. Dr. Phillip Lovejoy, and Mr. Henry Wcidncr go over the details of procedure prior to commencement.

Dr. Phillip Love- joy, an international government consultant, addressed the grad- uating class of 242 seniors. Mr. George W. York, president of the Board of School Direc- tors presided, while Miss Dorothy Filer and Mr. Thomas Schrader participated in the capacity of Processional Marshals.

Seniors The third all-important triangle is com- posed of the seniors themselves, and a cross section of the student “campus” life and academic life. The senior pic- tures need no explanation. Dicruffs “campus” life is quite simply the ordi- nary day-to-day bustle through the halls. Our academic life is representative of a school’s real purpose—to educate Amer- ica's youth. Senior Class Officers are, seated: Eileen Rich- ard, secretary; Oreste D’Arconte, president. Standing: Mr. Ernest Papp. advisor; Olga Far- tuch, vice-president; Patrick Brong, treasurer.
