Qur blue-stoned class rings are also a symlool of our Alma Mater. SQQSQUNSQ sa.. As we look hack upon our high school life, We rememher that it hasn,t all heen work. Certainly we have had those nights when We carried home piles of hooks and those days when one test or quiz followed the other, hut it hasn't proved disastrous to any of us. What we will rememher hest. however, are those fabulous times We had working and playing together. They started in tenth grade when we took our trip to the Philadelphia Zoo with Mr. Keim and his student teacher acting as chaperons. Then in our junior year we toured the Hershey Chocolate Plant and the hattlefield at Get- tyshurg where some of us showed our rehel- Iious spirit hy purchasing Confederate Hags. That same year we selected our class colors, hrown and tan, and then ordered our attrac- tive class jackets. Our school rings, the standard gold hand and hlue stone design, also arrived ahout the middle of the year. Of course, our pride in KAHS soared to new heights when our school regained its title as Berks County Basketball Champions hy defeating Vvyomissing in a display of our team,s excellent basketball ahility and determination. Along the more academic line, those of us who had chemistry will never forget those times when we wondered hose experiment would he the next to xplode. Then came the climax,-'we were seniors t last. To us came all the privileges and duties of KAHS seniors. We sat for por- aits, we ordered our calling cards and ommencement invitations, and we made PREFA CE plans for the future, since graduation was fast ap- proaching. What a grand time we had staging our class play, May I Come In? its success was over- whelming, hut then we surelv worked hard enough to deserve it. But no douht the greatest moment in our entire high school life came on the evening when our haslcethall team won the 1959 Class B State Championship title. Words cannot descrihe the feeling which arises when your Cougar team has won twenty-nine games. has lost none, and has reached the summit,-the highest title for which it can strive. Now our pride in KAHS has heen rooted even more firmly. There are other things worth remembering, too. Our stock market hoard in P.0.D. was lots of fun, and so was our trip to the courthouse. Our Senior Farewell was a hit more solemn an occasion. for then we hegan to realize what the name really signified. Now all that fun and work is ended. We will never he ahle to return and spend three more vears at KAHS with our classmates and faculty. AH we can do now is rememher the hig and the little things which happened there and hope that other classes will have the same fun and opportunities which we have had as the Class of 1959. 6 It The Senior Class of KUTZTOWN AREA HIGH SCHOOL presents M AY I COME IN?

For this reason it was highly desirahle that every effort was made to give you, the graduating class ot 1959, a hetter understanding of your responsiloilities and oppor- tunities in helping to expand the unlimited houndaries of progress. As you and your classmates are talking about futures, some of you will decide to enter the professions, some the trades, others the armed services and other types of employ- ment. Each one should have a goal: therefore, aim high hut do not think that you have to reach your goal the day after tomorrow. Hard worlc and devotion face each one of you it you desire to achieve your goal.

Lannon, head of the Guidance Department, ably assists pupils in selecting and entering a college, in securing scholarships, and in finding jobs after graduation. In addition to these duties, sime teaches guidance classes in grades 7, 8, 9, and 12, and is willing to help students with their various problems. 12 TYP WRITER A D TELEP ONES Mrs. Jean A. P. Held and How- ard J. Dietrich instruct the stu- ci e n t s in the Business Educa- tion courses. HHancts on home row. Ready-heginf, To our husiness education students, these words are almost second nature. Our commercial department does an ex- cellent job of instructing future secretaries. The boys and girls study typing, short- hancl, business law, consumer economics, husiness English, and bookkeeping. In order to receive experience in office practice they take a course in filing and learn how to perform other duties such as answering telephones and running the various husiness machines. The girls serve in the capacity of Student Secretaries for high school faculty members. Arlene Arndt and Richard Kunkel operate one of the many modern business ma- chines which are a part of our department. 15 The KAHS English faculty includes Ray L. Kelley, Ray- mond L. Fisher, Harold L. Hehr, Mrs. Marie R. Hehr, and Mrs. Viola S. Beelcey. FROM H OMER T0 HEMING WA Y The standards of English which a high school student acquires are likely to he those which will determine his status in his vocation and social life. The oh- jective of our English department, therefore, is t-0 provide the student with a firm haclcgrounct in reading, thinking, listening to, speaking, and writing comprehend- ihle and acceptahle English. The study of grammar and literature constitutes the main portion of the English' course. Although we have only a short review of grammar each year, the frequent themes which are required for the course provide an excellent op- portunity to apply that grammar in writing effective sentences Q Assistant Librarian Joan Weaver marks hooks for Ray Fulton and John P. Adam. 14 The 12A section learns that something is rotten in the state of Denmarlcn as Margaret Stein, Sandra Cassel- herry, Walter Risley, and Allan Grim portray a scene from Hamlet. The greater emphasis is placed on literature, American in the junior year and English in the senior year. A study of the development and interpretation oi literary ideals and discussions on various examples of all types of worlcs provide the student with a lceener interest and a broader background in today's and yesterdayls societies. An advanced composition class is availalole to pupils who have maintained A or B averages in their regular English courses. This class plunges further into the complex world of rhetoric than do the ordinary sections. The result of their work is a lengthy research paper which is due at the end of the year. Students Worlc hard on these masterpieces, proceeding in much the same manner as college students would use to prepare' term papers. Our complete and efficient lilarary proves itself invalualole to this class and to -most other sections since it fills practically every need for both juni-or and senior high pupils. its complete maga- zine collection and up-to-date encyclopedias provide accuracy and convenience for the student. We are proud of our English department and of our library, for We feel that they have played a vital part in preparing us for our future life and work. Mrs. Mary W. Dolan operates our very elli- cient and complete li- liorary. A 12 Academic Problems of Democracy class learns that our country's poiiticai and economic structure is a bit more compli- cated than it wouid appear at a first glance. FROM A THE S T0 AMERICA To be able to learn and protit by oti1er's mistakes is one of the finest advan- tages of our modern times. We have studied the techniques and characteristics of the ancient and contemporary civilizations in our social studies classes. in tentti grade We reviewed world history, in the junior year we studied American history, and in our senior year we took a course in Problems of Democracy. Our work in all of these classes was supplemented by fiimstrips and movies, maps, outside reports, and field trips-Gettysburg in eleventh grade and the Berks County Court- iiouse in twelfth grade. A novel and interesting project was the sham stock market on which We speculated in our senior year. The daily current events reports and discussions provided an interesting sideiigtit Wiiiie ttiey icept us informed on tire happenings of the world today. William E. Moyer, John S. Davies, Paul L. Hunsberger, Le- Roy Sctioiieninerger, and Charles Z. Angstadt comprise tire Social Studies faculty. I6 F AXIOMS A D ANGLE ln this era of satellites and outer space, mathe- matics is continuing to play a prominent part in the future of our country. We are meeting this challenge hy malcing mathematics courses compulsory for all high school students. Aca- demic pupils struggle through algehra, plane geometry, trigonometry, and solid geometry. General students receive a review of mathe- matics, algehra, plane geometry, trigonometry, and practical mathematics. Commercial stu- dents take business and consumer mathematics, and two years of hoolclceeping. Vocational students have practical mathematics and a re- view of mathematics. Gut mathematics instruc- tors are LeRoy Schollen- herger, Richard C. Gougler, J. Richard Wagner, and Charles E. Trafford. Our advanced mathematics class, available to any of those students who have maintained an A or a B average in their regular academic mathematics courses, is using a college text- hoolc to cover material which the regular classes never study. Most of the students talcing this course wish to malce that subject their career or plan to use it in their worlc in a related field. Each year ,three of this class's members, selected on the hasis of mathematics ahility and grades, are sent to participate in the Berks County Mathematics Test. This yearys delegates were Diana DeRagon, Karen Herring, and Thomas Ludwig. Our prize math pupils, the advanced mathematics class, are: Standing--Jean Adams, Christine Schuclcer, Thomas Ludwig, and Arlan Gehmang Seated'-'Ralph Kramer, Karen Herring, and Diana DeRagon.

Carol Moll and Sarah Ann Fox decide how much weight has ioeen lost while Mr. Stauffer watches with interest. Kutztown is aware of the need for scientific education and gives its pupils an extra opportunity to get that education. Physics classes are heici for three hours each Thursday evening for in- terested pupils. The courses offered during the school clay include ioioiogy, chemistry, and physics. Pupil interest in science fairs is increasing steaciiiy. and several students are planning to attenci the various summer seminars which are being held at nearby colleges and high schools. We can ali he grateful for the opportunities and advantages which the dedicated mernioers of our science faculty have given us. 12 General students, perch- ed on the stools in the chem. lah, use their spare time wisely.

Philip Sctaeidt and San- ctra Gambler were found to be the Tattest and Shortest. We did it! Our class sold more than enough tickets for our class play, written and directed by Mr. Gougier and presented on Thursday and Friday, November 20 and 21. In fact, extra chairs were put in the auditorium and standing room was available. This was the first time in a number of years that no tickets were available at the door. The plot of the play involved Annejeanette Holioen, a wealthy girl of twenty- three who left home and took an apartment with her Aunt Claris hecause her parents wanted her to marry a man Whom she had not met. She hecame acquainted with some show people who were trying to get a play ready for Broadway: they tried to help solve her problem. We had loads of fun at rehearsals,-especially Watching the wrestlers, Lola, UAuntie and Mrs. Holhen ther professional fam. Some of the many things that made 'sMay I Come In? different were the dances which included a ballet, the Charleston, and the Can Can: and the three ring third act which included such extras as the Wrestlers, the chorus girls and the jazz combo. We owe our greatest thanks to our wonderful director. Others who should receive credit and thanks are Mr. Moyer and the KAHS Band, who rendered the music: Mr. Dietrich, who was in charge of the programsg Mrs. Lannon, who endured the problems of the ticket sale and was in charge of the usherettes, and Mr. Dreihelbis and Mr. Wieck, who made possible the beautiful scenery. Others who herped to make our play a success were the prompters, the make-up assistants, the sound crew, the stage crew, the program assistants, and ticket sellers.

The Cougar team, under the coaching of John S. Davies, compiled a record of tive Wins, four ties, and three losses. The team, however, was not Without recognition and honor, for they were the recipients of the 7-Up Trophy for their display of good sports- manship. Bill Fenstermacher, the team,s highest scoring man, booted eighteen of our twenty-eight goals and was subsequently named to the Berks County AH-Star Soccer Team for the third consecutive year.

STATE CHAM S .. Through hard woric, constant practice, more of hoth, and the masterful mind of Coach John Siian, Kutztown Highs greatest hasicethaii team developed. The Cougars ctimaxed the perfectly successful season with the winning of the Class B State Championship hy defeating West Mid- dlesex at Westminster College in New Wilming- ton, Pennsyivania. Moreover, they were the only undefeated high school team in the state, their final record heing 29-0. This team could do anything and do it right, since each teammate played to the hest of his ahiiity and sought to correct his every mistake. No defense set up hy any opponent was ahie to throttle Kutztowrfs offensive attack. With a utor- toise and hare styie offense, Kutztown penetrated other teams' defenses, displaying a fast hreahing offense which could suddenly and purposely he changed into one of slowed-down, detiherate tactics, and vice versa. The Cougars' defense was hy no means a weaicness: it was an impervious, switching man-tor-man, ohstacie to rivals. Fans will not fail to rememher the Hsurprisen zone de- fense against Columbia or the shaciding of Ron Kricic of West Reading in the Berks County Championship game. Kutztown's games were witnessed hy great numhers of ioyai rooters, including fans from nearhy localities or just average haskethaii foi- iowers who wanted to see our superh team in action. in addition, our peppy sextette of cheer- leaders and the tremendously well known hasicet- hail tradition oi our school gave the team an ahundance of moral support. The seniors who contrihuted to the team's suc- cess in protiie are: Philip Scheidt-Phil, the high jumping senior who led the ciuh in scoring and rebounding, was named to the All-County team. Stanley Saul- Mouse,, drihhied through and around opponents, headed the hackcourt hriiiiant- ty, and guarded par excellence, all of which earn- ed him a position on the All-County team. Dennis Derfuric,-An unheralded performer, Smokey frequently made decisive gestures that aided in victory, white performing in the hack- court, passing, and maneuvering to set up the plays. Gene Stump-HNemo,', the hig-handed tad who seemed to thrive hy sitting out the opening tap-- ofts, came oft the hench to spark the Cougars down that last, iong stretch. Glenroy Wiitrout-Gienroy, who saw little action in the playoffs, was a part of our top-rate bench. G. ST.

The majorit of the starting line-up for the first few games was composed of seniors wh had several years of experience. Captain David Mertz, last year,s Berk County Batting Champion, ted the team at second and continued his mar vetous hitting at the plate: Gene Stump, playing third hase, provided powe at the plate: Stan Saul, an outfielder, proved a nemesis to opponents to getting on hase and stealing frequently: behind the plate Daniel Smit performed very adequately with the catching glove: on the mound Mac at shortstop Dennis Derfurtc protected Kutztown,s defense and when at th plate, he hiasted out hase hits with tinesseg Bill Fenstermacher covere first hase and when hatting, he used his power to the hest advantage. Wit a team such as this, We are again expecting to have an exciting season. 78 Arndt continued his hard throwingg Allan Grim guarded center field aptiyg April April April April April April April April May May May May 5 7 I5 I6 20 23 27 50 4 7 ll I4 BASEBALL SCHEDULE Muhlenberg lVlul1lenloerg Daniel Boone Twin Valley Fleelwoocl Oley Branclywine Daniel Boone Twin Valley Fleetwood Oley Brandywine Away Home Home Away Home Away Home Away Home Away Home Away Gene Stump, Stanley Saul, Daniel Smitlu, William Fenstermaclmer, Dennis Derlqurli, Mace Arndt, Allan Grim, David lvleriz. 4, , xxx Q, :Nl-gxxyv ' Q wi 10 4.

The varsity team's mascot was a cougar named Hcheekuaf' The animal was hecieciced with htue and white rih- hons on which State Champsn was written at the end of the marvelous sea- son. The girls sported white corduroy jumpers, navy Houses and socks, and white hucks, and always presented an eye- catching appearance to the cheering sec- tions. The junior varsity leaders wore white hlouses and navy jumpers with UJVH on the skirt. These girls played an important part in helping our junior varsity have such a successful season.
