Each member of this graduating class will always think of i955 as an important milestone in his life. This is as it should be since it signifies the culmination of basic nfeparatory years and the commencement of a larger, iuller life of greater responsibilities and realities. While in high school it was our task to provide those opportunities necessary for you to secure an education. Your graduation signifies that you have taken advan- tage of these opportunities. The degree to which you will have benefited can be told only by the manner in which you put your knowledge to use. It is our desire that the education obtained will not only be used for personal gain but for the welfare of all humanity. As you travel on the road of life improve society when- ever possible and when it cannot be changed learn to accept it as is. Set high goals, yet seek these through high moral and ethical practices and always with the help of Almighty God. My personal good wishes for success and happiness go with each of you. P. C. DUNKELBERGER, Supervising Principal 5-5-1 M-Sv' M-A For a long time you have looked forward to graduation from high school and now this time has arrived. It will be a great day in your lives. For many of you it will terminate your formal education, for others it is just the beginning of a broader and more specialized education and training. It is important that you set a goal and strive earnestly to attain it. Life is going to be a struggle. Learn to face your prob- lems and figure out ways of overcoming them. Do not whine and fret because the world owes you something better. Everyone cannot be wealthy or famous, but everyone can have a happy and satisfactory life. While you are plan- ning your life do not neglect to give it a good religious foundation. Learn to look at everything in its proper perspective. I trust that your high school education will have helped you to develop a strong character, a pleasing personal- ity, and good habits. l extend my sincere and best wishes to you, the class of 1955.

the street, a folded newspaper dropped to the sidewalk. I stooped and picked it up, but before I could reach her to return it she was lost in the crowd. ldly I glanced at it. lt was a copy of the Kutztown Patriot. I hadn't seen one since-let me see-why, it was the issue containing news of the graduation of our class from the new Kutztown Area High School. I had nearly an hour to wait before my next bus came, so I settled down to catch up on some of the hometown doings. The Kutztown Calendar showed a busy three-weeks period com- ing up. The first familiar name was that of Lee Erb. He was to be speaker at the Berks Borough Association dinner at the Kutz- town Fire Hall. The list continued: Patsy Angstadt, President of Woman's Club, holds first meet- ing today KSTC-world-famous concert singers, Ronald Solt and Nancy Wessner Red Cross Drive headed by Eleanor Eckert to begin Monday Reading Hospital Auxiliary-Violet Hixson, Shirley lsamoyer, co-hostesses Community Council to meet at Gonser Home-Wayne Warm- kessel, chairman Why, I remember that was formed back in '55. The account of a collision caught my eye. The names of the vic- tims had no meaning for me, but the doctor who rendered as- sistance was none other than Robert Lewis of the Reading Hos- pital staff. He and Grace Angstadt, Evelyn Nikitscher, and Ray Moyer were returning from an A.M.A. meeting and arrived at the scene of the accident in time to save two lives. It took me a minute or two to realize that Kareatown must be the new development on the way to Topton. Residents of the settle- ment have formed a council and prominent among them are some of my classmates. Truman Brandt, Nelson DeLong, Eleanor Einsel, Hope Grim, and Jean Reinert are now living there and taking active parts in running things. Evidently they work nearby. Would I recognize any of Our Men in Uniform? I did. Donald Unger, Dennis Miller, Reynold Guldin, and Terry Blose are being discharged after many years in the service, and Robert Werley has recently been stationed down in South America. Ronald Malone- and Roeller Dietrich have made the Army their career and are living with their families down in Texas. Two WACS, Shirley Dankel and Annette George, and a WAVE from my class, Mary Lou Derr, have been sent overseas for duty. KAHS news intrigued me. The addition of two new buildings seems to me positive proof of Kutztown's growth during the last fifteen years. A roster of teachers' names for the coming school term included many I knew. There were Marilyn Merkel and Bruce Kniss in the math department, Mary Kramer, Nancy Stolz, and Doris Sherry in the commercial building, and in the grade school I recognized Patty Leh and Anna Kramer. The Cougars had made quite a name for themselves by winning the state championship under the guidance and training of Lynn Kunkel and Forrest Rau- enzahn, The vocational department had expanded, too. Harvey Silfies and James Epler taught agriculture and Carolyn Kehm home economics, while Joanne Stein and Shirley Rabenold were the head dieticians. Glancing through the Grange news, I learned that Irwin Sechler is specializing in hogs and Robert Pensinger has one of the newest and most up-ta-date chicken farms in the state. Classes in preserving and canning foods are being held at the Grange Hall. The instructors are Shirley Schlener and Virginia Delp. The men of the Kutztown chapter are also learning, new methods of fertilization and crop rotation are being taught by farm expert David Bear. The final results of recent milk production test at the farms of Edward Leiby, Claude Fink, and Richard Hein were listed in this column, too. The social page came next. Judy Elder was to be hostess at a lawn party given in honor of Lorraine Dreibelbis, who has iust returned from a cruise to the West Indies where she visited Carol Hauck and Joe Price. These former classmates of mine have pooled their resources and are now the prosperous owners of a large sugar plantation on the islands. A surprise baby shower was held yesterday for Virginia Fenstermacher by her neighbors Helen Ziegler, Nancy Schadler, Marlene Dreibelbis, and Nancy Pauley. Anne Taney's twin daughters will leave on the third Sun- day of this month to visit their grandparents in New York. A baby picture contest filled the entire opposite page. Surely the little boy in the corner is Marvin Miller's son, and those three girls couIdn't belong to anyone but the former Marie Sunday. I was right, their names are listed at the bottom of the page. I recognize Betty GressIey's and Donald Williams' offspring, too. Herbert Lantz's cherubs are here, too, but I don't seem able to find them. Perhaps they look more like their mother than their father. The ads, of course, interested me. K-town's newest funeral parlor is located on Route 222, iust beyond Kemp's Hotel. Joan Youse and Anna Schwoyer are the directors. Yvonne DuBois' dental office, Tobias' Bakery, and a beauty salon operated by Barbara Bieber and Bobby Stoudt are three buildings situated in a newly de- veloped business block, along with the offices of Joanne Kern, Janet Barto, and Joan Hoch, public accountants. Keim's School of Beauty Culture is new to me, too. It looks as though Marge has put her talents to good use. She and her assistants, Virginia Folk, Jackie Esterly, and Mary Alice Knittle, have built up quite a repu- tation for turning out beautiful and accomplished young ladies. In fact, some of them have become famous. For instance, Nancy Breinig and Gladys Christman graduated from the school before becoming Hollywood actresses. Dorney Park is again advertising stock car races. I know several of the drivers-Raymond Bailey, Richard DeLong, Harrison Deiter, and Nevin Snyder. A Drive-It- Yourself Range has been opened by George Buchman next to the Rich Maiden Golf Club. lt is affiliated with the club, which is owned and operated by the nationally known golf pro, Betty Merkel. Arlan Schwoyer and Kenneth Reichert have apparently combined their sports-writing abilities. It says here that anyone interested in subscribing to their magazine should contact either of the editors. Also among the ads are the opening dates of a diner and a movie house. The diner, built by Clarence Heist, con- tractor, will feature three short order cooks: Anna Mae Mengel, Sus Bailey, and Janice Seidel. Charlie Lontz announces the opening of his Deluxe Theater in Topton. To celebrate its opening, the first one hundred customers will be treated to Schaetfer's Specials, made next door by the master of the soda-ierk business, Dennis. In the sports section, David Cutey Hinterleiter and Lee Hilbert have big write-ups. They have become pro baseball players and are with the major leagues. Homer Dietz has a summer job coaching Little League Baseball in Allentown with Marlin Fox as his assistant. Browsing through the Ten Years Ago column, I see the announce- ments of four weddings-Edna Ely, Pearline Reber, Shirley Wartz- enluft, and Shirley Kish. The former Shirley Haas had a son that year, and Tom Sharpe graduated from a school of nuclear physics. George Bryde and Jack DeTurk earned their titles of registered architects, too. In Letters to the Editor I recognize the names of Mark Kamp and Pauline Bleiler. Mark is working for General Motors in Detroit as a designer and Pauline is head librarian at a small Southern college. They both report that they enioy their iobs immensely. Roeller Dietrich writes to tell of his position with the FBI in Wash- ington, D. C. Items of Special Interest informs me that Marie Trexler, Ralph Kauffman, and Ralph Krick have teamed up to produce a TV show, Marie's Other Life . Marie, of course, is the star, Krick writes the script and Kauffman does the announcing. I see Richard Miller did what he wanted to do. His church services notice was prepared by his secretary Diana Boyer. Among the want ads-Kutztown National Bank's President Neal Zimmerman wants a private secretary and so does his rival, Presi- dent of the Farmers' Bank, William Greenawald. Robert Komand advertises office hours, appointments to be made through his secretary, Shirley Hamm. A self-service market, owned and oper- ated by David Lightcap and Robert Angstadt, needs a cashier. The address given for the store is Normal Avenue down by Con- stitution Boulevard. I'm beginning to wonder whether I would recognize the place if I were-to go back. The size of this edition of the Patriot and an item telling of the addition of Emily Merkel, Phyllis Trunk, and Hulda Leibensperger to the staff show how much the paper's circulation has increased. My bus has just pulled into the station, so I'Il leave the paper here and hope that someone else will find it as interesting as I have. XV cqeezfatdaea MR.
