Seniors came back congratulating themselves on having made it to the final round, juniors came feeling smug that they knew their way around, and sophomores came wondering how the high school compared to the junior high. They soon found out, as homerooms were assigned and schedules handed out. The 1976-1977 term had begun. Those who had been here before noticed some changes. The most obvious were the new library occupying the back half of the auditorium, and rooms 205 and 207 where the library had been. The move was made over the summer, but the new library was not completed until spring. Assemblies had to be held in the gym or in split shifts, since 700 people do not fit too well in 300 seats. Our Super Nurse got new equipment, which came in handy, as she gave physicals to both boys and girls this year. Mr. Guinter retired after many years of service, and Mr. Thomas became the new Athletic Director. 4 n5 ' •- There was personnel turnover all over the school. In the office, first Mrs. Ruth Watson and then Mrs. Joan Lee replaced Miss Houck, who left to be married. Mrs. Marva Brown took a leave to have a baby, and two new English teachers appeared, Mrs. Buckendorff and Mrs. Brubaker. Madame Ortwein left after Christmas to have a baby, and was replaced by Miss Williams. Both teachers had girls. Mr. Fleck took the incoming sophomores under his wing, while Mrs. Robertson took over the advisorship of the juniors. The classes picked officers and planned their strategies for the coming year. The morning announcers began spreading their words of cheer every morning: from left to right; Monday, Tuesday, Friday, Thursday, and Wednesday. The Cross-Country team had another exciting season, with Jane Strause and Mike Ernst placing in the District III runs. The girls' tennis team had another spectacular season, with sisters Michelle and Becky Yoder winning the county singles tournament and the team of Sharon AmmarelI and Ruth Gilbert taking the doubles championship. Hockey was another fall activity that kept sports fans busy. 6 Fall means football, and the football team and marching band began practicing before school even started. Fans were treated to exciting football action and precision halftime drills. Clubs sorted out their memberships and held inductions, like Key Club's beauty pageant. The National Honor Society met, first with Mrs. Ortwein, then with Mrs. Brubaker. Here, at the October meeting, the members practice for Halloween. Spirit Week brought out the first of the good-natured interclass rivalries, with posters hung all over the halls, and windows painted to proclaim support for the football team. This year Spirit Week lasted three weeks to booster morale for several games, climaxing in the Daniel Boone game. The seniors won the $50 prize for the best show of spirit. The team beat Daniel Boone to win the Pig Iron Trophy in the annual rivalry. Exit the Body was performed by the Thespians and other interested students as one of the two plays allowed by the many budget cuts. Basketball, easily one of Exeter's most popular sports, brought the fans out in droves, either to watch the game or to enjoy the warmth of a big crowd. This was definitely a good winter for finding a warm spot and staying there. Spanish was first taught this year by Frau Brown, now also Senora Brown, and the class celebrated Christmas by breaking a traditional pinata. The snow started coming early this year and never seemed to stop. We missed so many days of school because of snow that we were told, to our chagrin, that we could not afford to take any more unscheduled days off. To add insult to injury, everyone was required to turn their thermostats as low as possible to conserve energy. The school complied, and it was not uncommon to see people wearingcoats and gloves all day. One person, at least, enjoyed the snow. That was our exchange student, Gui dos Reis, who left in December for summer in his native Brazil. 9 Some people took to wrestling to keep warm. The APT booksale was held, with something for everyone, from sports to cooking. The annual Christmas Concert, this year entitled Fa La La and All That , was given by the band and chorus, setting the holiday atmosphere. Then it was vacation time, and every one packed it in for a while, except the poor souls with long-term assignments due when they returned. There was more and still more snow, and for a while we could relax and forget school.

The Second Annual Eagle Classic Basketball Tournament was held late in December, and various teams held practices over the holidays. Then came the new year, 1977, the home stretch for the seniors. Bowling started in January, with the boys and girls competing together but scoring sep-erately, a step toward a coed team. Basketball season was in full swing, and the girls' team looked promising. Indeed, they proved to be better thanany-one had thought as they swept through the local competition to take the county championship and become the first Berks girls' basketball team to go to District and State playoffs. The girls won Districts but lost State in the semi-finals. And with January, half the term was over. Januar Try to remember the kind of September when life was slow and oh, so mellow . . . September 12 The Sophomores got right into the swing of things, ordering class rings and jackets, and planning fund raising projects. Their enthusiasm gave them second place in the Spirit Week competition. Their spirit and sense of organization should prove an asset to the school in coming years.

Field Hockey Team Improves Record This year the varsity hockey team finished third in section B of the Western Division with five wins, four losses, and three ties. The girls sported new home uniforms—royal blue tops with white kilts. The team had a first; they played a home game at Schuylkill Valley. Coach Barbara Rankin said that the team had an improved record over last year and the members definitely played and thought together. Coach Barbara Rankin observes the team in action.

OK, you guys, who hid the ball? The golf team began and ended with a one-game winning streak. In between, the team struggled through eight soggy, frustrating losses in a row. Despite much rain, injuries, away matches, and just plain bad luck, the team played well under their new coach, Mr. “Mac . Several juniors, Mark Diefenderfer, Dave Feick, and Pete De-Luca showed much promise. Darryl Moll, a senior, made it to the final round of the county playoffs. Although producing only a 2-8 record, the team hopes to improve next year. Swinging In The Rain! ABOVE: Rob Kearney handles a basically difficult situation. LEFT: Why is this man smiling?

Advisors David Ernes, Robert Dahl, and Harry Shank made sure help was always available for any problem. Student Council was quite busy this year. Besides running the school store, the jukebox, and the smoking area, the group opened a bookstore in the phys ed office, selling everything from typing paper to tee shirts. Several Movie Nights were held, including Monty Python's Flying Circus and Bugs Bunny. A 24 hour volleyball marathon was held to raise nearly $1000 for the American Cancer Society, and a dance was held in spring. The council also helped underwrite the costs for the National Honor Society and the new Latin Honor Society.

Student Council: A Rundown Of Council's Activities For 1976-77 . . . Student Council, the student voice at Exeter, worked quietly but steadily throughout the year. A resume of its activities would read like this:—Movie Nights with Monty Python, cartoons and popcorn;—A volleyball marathon which raised over 900 dollars for the American Cancer Society;--Dances just for enjoyment,—One school store for snacks and relaxation and another for school supplies and booster items; — Sponsorship of Spirit Week with its slogan and sign contests, pep rallies and skits before the Daniel Boone game (we got back the pig iron trophy in a rout);—Active participation in the Berks I.U. Student Forum which sent Allison Leinbach to Harrisburg as its rep to the governor's Student Advisory Board,— Christmas Candles sales to build up the bank account;—At the annual May day the mouse race pulled in some cool cash for the APT;—The voice of the cafeteria, the jukebox;—Attendance at the Berks County student council workshop at Reading High;— All things considered not a bad year at that!

The varsity suffered fnly one loss. Good runners make a ygood team and Exeter had the best around. Hyperbole? Not at all! The striders proved their worth in every race they ran. Three of the runners,! Mike Ernst, Mark Vardjan, and Harry Smith, were singled out for special honors when they were chosen for the Berks County Section I All Star Team. Ernst and Vardjan went a step further, and made it to the County All Stars, the very best of the best. Many teams compile a good record, only to lose their runners to graduation. This will not be the case for Exeter, however, as the team is made up mostly of freshmen and sophomores.

On the 7th weekend of the season the Eagles were plagued by turnovers and were dropped by a fired up Schuylkill Valley team. The following week the Eagles played their best football in several years and soundly beat unbeaten Central Catholic. The squad beat Kutztown and concluded the season with a win over Daniel Boone.

Preparation for the first pep rally with skits and cheers psyched the football players for the Central game. The second pep rally found spirited students dressed as a rock group, Groucho Marx, and band students marching through the halls. All this action prompted the Eagles to defeat Daniel Boone, and allowed the seniors to win the contest for the most spirited class in Exeter High. VC(A Students Show Spirit!

The 1977 season was a modest one for the track and field teams. Meets were won, and school records were broken, but by and large the season was uneventful. Slow years such as this are challenging to a team. The runners have neither the taste of victory nor an underdog's spirit to sustain them. In this respect, the Exeter track and field teams performed admirably. Sam Hardinger broke the school record for the 330 intermediate hurdles. Scott D'Augustine's case is not as clear. Depending on the source, Scott either tied or broke the school record for the one hundred yard dash. Both may be proud of their achievements. The track and field teams are to be admired for their persis-tance and sportsmanship. Britt Reed reaches the agonizing end. Woolheater receives the baton from Seyler. Running is often a lonely sport.

On A Balmy Spring Day Break Out The Bats And Balls!!! EXETER SOFTBALL—1977 1 Conrad Weiser 2 Gov.

Somewhere Over The Rainbow Somewhere over the rainbow way up high. There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby. Somewhere over the rainbow skies are blue, And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true. Someday I'll wish upon a star and wake up where the clouds are far behind me. Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me . . . Somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly. Birds fly over the rainbow, why, then, oh why can't I? A group at the coke bar includes couples Tony Muratore and Sue Ha-fer, Dianna Bailey and Rob Kearney, and Bonnie Kroutch and Tom Wentling. The 1977 prom held many surprises. Upon entering, the couples followed the yellow brick road to the Emerald City, the gateway to the prom. Once through the castle, each couple was greeted by the characters from the Wizard of Oz , and Dorothy handed each girl a lollipop. After dinner was served, the music of Townsmen East filled the dance floor with couples. Still more was in store for those up to another couple of hours of fun. The post-prom party was held at the Sheraton Berkshire with swimming, food, music, and fun filling the early morning hours. Dancing couples try gracefully to avoid each others' toes.

The basses and sopranos sing the final notes of the last song, It's A Musical World. senior class colors; rainbow flower; peace rose motto: our destiny is in our hands; we are the keepers of the future. 3 years ago we rainbow kids made the big move to sr. high school and began to make our mark, As Sophs we adjusted to mini-courses, new teachers and having the run of the building. As juniors we proved our mettle in sports, Las Vegas Nite and sometimes with the books. Finally we used our seniority to mark Exeter with our personality, if only for one fleeting year. In September '65 who would have believed 12 years could slip away so quickly. Our future then is now our past, but the future still remains and we hold it in our hands.

Caps and gowns were handed out on Thursday afternoon, shuttle buses drove us to jr. high for the class picture. My caps too small! Anyone want to switch gowns? Will anyone forget that session? Friday and baccalaureate practice. Then Sunday afternoon, marching in twos, remembering where to sit, when to stand, remove hat, etc. Picture taking afterwards in caps and gowns for the relatives. Monday (who'll forget the motorcycle incident?) turning in locker keys and getting last report card. More practice, inside in case it rains. Tuesday morning got class picture, honor roll awards, thanked Shank and practiced for real outside. Faculty lined us up wrong so we marched and countermarched. 5:30 PM—Zero hour. I lost my tassel! It rained so we graduated inside. Follow the flags to the stage. Speeches, awards. Get diploma, switch tassel. ALMA MATER, get flower. Turn in cap and gown and now what? We're alumni. Class of '77.

As you can tell by the pictures, it helps to be a loony too. Good luck to all future Thespians. To quote Shakespeare, All the world's a stage, and all the men and women in it merely players.

Many were the nights the Yearbook Staff watched these little yellow cylinders pull away from the rear of the building—without them. In room 122 these dedicated kids worked long hours after school to turn out this book for your perusal and, hopefully, approval. Conflicting activities whittled the number to a bare bone minimum—prompting this observation in a borrowed remark: Never Have So Many, Owed So Much To So Few!' Enjoy, Seniors, Et Al. The 77 PIONEER Staff. It Is Our Sincerest Hope That The Administration Faculty And Student Body Of Exeter High School Will Have The Happiest Of Memories Of Us The Class Of 1977 Ieflections on the class ofi 177 At 8 am on the Wednesday following Labor Day in September three years ago, I was assigned to pick up the new sophomore class. With some minor qualms I walked out onto the gym floor and looked over the new crop, fresh from riding the crest of the ninth grade wave. It struck me as being not a unified body, but a mixture of divergent groups and factions, a few cliques, too. From the first moment I called for all to be quiet to begin the assignment of homerooms and such I was sure that a unity was missing. Perhaps it was the size, over 250 kids, or the immaturity, or the high expectatioi whatever, but the Class seemed not about to jell. Some commonality other than class standing would have to be provided to do that. Well—as Sophomores there weren't too many opportunities for that. Elect officers, pay dues, sell recycled paper stationery, class rings, etc. How about the class being associated with a flower, a color, a motto? Ahah! These kids were different--no blue and whi carnations or a Bartlett's quotation for them. And did I detecta matriarchial streak? Juniors lived or died by the Prom. Where, when, who, what--all the usual decisions. But I learned the kids wanted to make those themselves. So, relax, advisor, keep a low profile and advise when asked or if needed. The Bicentennial was with us, but not at jjfl the prom—we had moonlight and Las Vegas. And then as Seniors—the Class still seemed only a little more • • cohesive. I'd learned to know most of them—a happy-go-lucky lot of likeable RETARDS. Kotter may have had his sweathogs, but me, I got my Retards. They seldom seemed to be listening, balked at paying their dues, skipped out of class meetings, forgot all the deadlines for things, missed their yearbook picture appointments, couldn't remember their homerooms, majored in school store and early dismissal, came tantalizingly close to setting all sorts of rec ords, and worried only for fear of doing too much and too soon. T' Rainbow Kids of '77 were my bittersweet Retards. For three years you've been part of my world and are doubtless I responsible for a little less hair and a couple more wrinkles, along with ahost of pleasant memories stashed away in my brain's memory bank. Collectively and as individuals, I shall remember you. Though the name might get misplaced or the year of graduation fluctuate, still I recollect some of your parents, and I've got you memorized for the future, too. Saying simply Thank You to all who made my | advisory job as uncomplicated as it was seems somehow inadequate, but it is none the less sincerely given. Your future indeed is in your hands—which hands, hopefully, I may have helped to guide. And now as your time at Exeter winds down, may I leave you with this old Celtic blessing: May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face, the rains fall soft upon your fields, and, until we meet again. May God hold you in the palm of his hands. With kindest regards, •up 10 hours on a bus, rides galore, so-so food, sunshine, good friends—all make for happy memories . . . KING'S DOMINION: A GREAT ADVENTURE SENIORS CAVORT ON CLASS TRIP 24 HOUR NON-STOP FUN FILLED HIGH Mrw| The second half of the year was ushered in by more snow, of course. February passed quickly, as we all hoped it would. Maybe when it left winter would go with it, we thought, but it was not to be. Winter stuck with us through March. Student Council was busy in spring, holding Movie Nights and opening a book store in the phys ed office to sell school supplies and tee shirts. LU And then it was spring, and the weather actually behaved that way. Phys ed classes began to move outside and it was Everyone out for the team time. Male and female track and field members practiced together, but did not compete with or against each other. Baseball, softball, boys' tennis, and track started in March. April, true to form, was showery. April 5 was the end of the third quarter, followed immediately by spring vacation. From then on things seemed to go faster because everybody was cramming activity into the last quarter. Student Council held a 24 hour volleyball marathon for the American Cancer Society. Some of the seniors took over some local government jobs for Youth in Government Day. In spring a young man's fancy turns to thoughts of love, and of course Exeter is no exception. May 6 was the Prom with over 150 couples attending. The juniors transformed the Heidelberg Country Club into the Land of Oz for the event, and further entertainment was provided at the Sheraton swimming pool. The next Friday was Sports Day, with the classes competing in almost every area of sports. The Seniors won, and everybody enjoyed the food and game stands. The 20th and 22nd of May brought Once Upon A Mattress to the Exeter stage as this year's musical. The next week held the Pops Concert, the annual showcase for the chorus and stage band. The band held its banquet and the academic awards were given at the annual banquet. National Honor Society inducted its new members at a special ceremony written by the old members. Finals were given and grades and class rank tabulated. There was a new scheduling system for next year, which kept people hopping, trying to stay organised. 233 June started with the Senior class trip to King's Dominion in Virginia, a day well worth 5 hours down and 5 hours back. Graduation came closer, bit by bit. Finally, there we were. Baccalaureate on Sunday, Commencement on Tuesday, and finally what had seemed millions of years away was a reality. The 1976-1977 school year was over, and the class of 'll were alumni. Some still remained, the faculty to finish all business, and the dedicated yearbook staff that had waited for pictures of the last days, so that final pages could be sent in and proofs checked. The PIONEER staff is proud to present this record of the 1976-1977 Exeter school term, with an original cover picture by Kirby Powell. May future years be as fruitful as this one has been for the Class of '77. During the course of the year we heard George Carlin and Bill Cosby albums often enough to memorize them, spent a fortune at the school store, spent six weeks doing 4 pages, typed and retyped, and retyped, ,..;i borrowed a typewriter from the faculty room, cliased people who owed ad money, chased people for money for a gift, chased Mr. Rasbridge for pictures, and harassed Mr. Shank. Often I wished I was being paid |pipf for ten hours a week at yearbook, but looking back, I really enjoyed it and wouldn't trade it for the same M- amount of time anywhere. It may have been nerve- Iwracking, but it's done now;- and I'm proud of our work. |,Many, many,many, tlianks to Mr. Sliank and to tlie |people who stayed and sweated this out. Lynn and .Beth, stick with it. The same for Pam and Pete (when • |||| he's serious) and Carl (when lie's here). I know Steve . will hang in there, and I hope everyone who is con- ■.sidering joining the staff will do that. Tlianks to Kirby •for his cover, and Tom and Terry for photos. Bonnie : and Cindy and Mark know how much I owe to them as do Kathy and Ellen and Mike and everyone who ever helped in any way. I hope next year's staff lias as much ■HKfun as we did and I hope they get enough ads to pay for the cost of the 19 78 yearbook! To all who follow Live, Love, Laugh— and be Happy. ill p? m 1 Lee Pellegrino ear, especially for a senior. If the ,‘w what went into it, there would be style, or how late it arrived, hordes of interested people showed less to work on the yearbook. As r activities and lack of interest of about five workers remained, anlookers.
