Ed, a friend to all who knew him, had an appealing and friendly personality. Edwin, who lived near Fleetwood in a home which he helped to build, was an active member of the F.F.A. and the chorus. Working on hot-rod models, hunting, Fishing, and roller skating were his favorite pastimes. Edwin was willing always to lend a helping hand to any of his friends and classmates. Although he was the victim of a fatal disease, Edwin was always cheerful. Even though he had to make many trips to the hospital for treatment during the last two years of his illness, Edwin continued his high school education. Edwin will continue to be admired for his persistence in fighting sickness and for the happiness he brought to all who knew him. 3 Sealed: janet Dunkclberger, Editorg Cyrus Beekcy, Jr., Associate Freeby, Sue Fisher, Etta Sitller, Sandra Schro Editor.: Ada Seltzer, Business Manager.

Sports Editor Writer Writer Writer Writer Writer Writer Writer Writer Writer Typist Typist Presentation We, in behalf of the yearbook staff, present the '60 Cougar. The Cougar staff was organized in May 1959. During the summer months a dummy was laid out. As soon as school began the staff took pictures, wrote stories, and chose the cover for the book. After the new year began, the staff doubled its efforts and formulated every minute detail into the dummy. Then after the articles were proofread and printed on good paper, they were fitted on the paste-up boards. The book then went to the publishing house for its printing, and finally to the bindery for completion. The work of the staff was not completed until the annuals were distributed to the subscribers. The purpose of the yearbook is to provide glimpses of our senior year, the summit of our twelve years of study. We will remember best all the fun we had working and playing together. Our adventures began in ninth grade, when we adjusted to high school. As Freshmen we got lost in the halls, feared the senior hall patrols, struggled through our first year of Spanish or Latin, and enjoyed the ninth grade party. The highlight of tenth grade was the trip to the Franklin Institute and the Philadelphia Zoo. At the Institute we were fascinated by the old-time movies, the physics exhibits, the model airplane display, and the driver's test. Eleventh grade was a busy year for all of us. In addition to purchasing class rings and class jackets, cheering our team on to winning the State Championship, and sponsoring the Junior-Senior Farewell, we enjoyed a trip to the Gettys- burg Battlefield and the Hershey Chocolate Factory. Finally we attained our goal-we were seniors. We gained all the honors and duties of K.A.H.S. seniors, We sat for class portraits, ordered calling cards and commencement invitations, made a trip to the court house, and struggled with heat experiments in physics. The cast worked hard staging the senior class play, The Giddio Will. Highlights of our senior class trip were the stage show at Radio City and the Broadway play Take Me Along. Because we realized what the name Junior-Senior Farewell signified, the dance was a solemn occasion. The climaxes of the year were Baccalaureate and Graduation Day. We had achieved our goal and were prepared for the road of life. This has been the purpose of the yearbook, to capture all these beneficial experiences. The staff wishes to express gratitude to all those who have contributed to the publication of the yearbook. Without the co-operation of the administration and faculty this annual would have been impossible.

It testifies that you have completed laying your basic educational foundation. Day by day you have been given the fundamental tools of life. Your diploma is tangible evidence that you are prepared to use these tools in building upon this foundation. Please remember that success in life comes only to those who earn it. To earn success you must set high goals 5 maintain sound moral and ethical standards 3 work hard, continue to learn 5 over- come occasional disappointments g place service above self: contribute to society as an honest and respected citizen. Remain adamant in maintaining certain fundamental principles as unalterable. Among these I would have you place love of God and the necessity of Divine Guidance, truth 5 integrity, justice, family and home first, democratic philosophy which holds that the dignity and worth of the indi- vidual is paramount and that governmental institutions derive their just powers and authority from the consent of the governed. My relationships with and feelings for the Class of 1960 have been, understandably, more per- sonal than usual. I have observed your progress and achievements with personal pride and satisfac- tion. This feeling, I believe, has been mutual and I trust will continue in the years that lie ahead. My sincere congratulations and personal good wishes go with each of you. May you find suc- cess, happiness and satisfaction in life. As you well know, my expectations for each of you are great. Your progress in life will always be my concern.May God grant you his richest blessings. affiaigfeeef 8 A Message to the Class of 1960: For a long time you have looked forward to the completion 'of your high school education. Your high school years will probably be among the happiest years of your life. They should, also, be among the most valuable years. Your high school has sought to give you the opportunity of acquiring a well-rounded education for your individual develop- ment. This development depended chiefly upon yourself. At best your high school can only afford you opportunity. Education does not end with the completion of your formal high school education. It is a continual process and is a disci- pline for the great adventure of life which lies ahead of you. Many of you will continue your education in higher institu- tions of learning, others will enter a trade, or find employment in industry and many enter the armed services. Remember that the proper choice of a suitable field of work is one of the most important decisions that an individual has to make. Naturally, you will want to make a proper choice because you know that future happiness and success may depend on it. The occupational and professional world is very competitive but the individual who knows what he has to offer and where it can be used has a distinct advantage. An excellent philosophy for life is to keep on striving for improvement-since the largest room in the world is the room for improvement. May you ever strive to reach your goals and ideals and remember the importance of good character, honesty and integrity, religion, thoughtfulness and consideration for others as you journey through life. My best wishes for success are extended to you, the Class of 1960. A Message to the Class of 1960: Graduation from high school is a memorable event in your young lives and one which you have looked forward to for a number of years. The fact that you have completed high school indicates that you have satisfactorily completed a number of basic requirements necessary for the attainment of this goal. Receiving a diploma means more, however, than the fulfill- ment of certain standards. It is an indication that you have now crossed the threshold of adulthood. It means that now you are ready to travel the road of life equipped with certain habits, skills, and knowledge. You are challenged to use that which you have learned toward the betterment of yourself and of your status in life. Of even greater importance is the respon- sibility you have of improving the way of life of all America. Upon you and thousands like you, rests the future of America and our society. My sincere best wishes are extended to each of you as you move along the many walks of life. Qwe Front Row: Clarence S. Dietrichg William M. DeLong. Snlicitorg Chester Clarence J. Smith, Paul E.

School Board The omission of education from the Constitution of the United States has determined that the state is legally responsible for a system of public education. The state has seen fit to delegate a great part of this authority to local school districts. In order for local school districts to exercise this authority the state has setup boards of school directors in each district for the purpose of administering the system of public schools of the district. ssaiaisgf' wr .: .4 1-mein Clerical Staff The Oihce Staff of the Kutztown Area Schools has a great deal of responsibility and carries it well.

Teaching the student to do this is the main objective of our English De- partment. By stressing accurate reading and writ- ing, broadening the understanding and enjoyment of literature, and developing a basis for intelligent criticism of writing, the courses provide a good foundation in English. Each year there is a review of basic grammar and an introduction to new vocabulary. Through themes students are frequently given opportunity to apply their knowledge. In the study of literature, English Department which consumes much of the year, examination is made of the major periods of writing, the work of major writers, and the historical development of the major literary types. Seniors who have an A or B average in regular English courses and who desire advanced study in rhetoric may elect English composition. Through- out the year the class writes short compositions and stories. Each student must also complete a term paper which requires intensive research. This year the class edited a literary magazine containing poems, stories, compositions, and puzzles contrib- uted by the composition and other English classes. The 12-v section listens to Mr. Hehr as hc explains composition. First Row: Kathy Kirk, Judi Smith, Janet Dunkelberger, Ada Seltzer, Joe Snook.

Since science is heavily emphasized in our high schools today, KAHS is fortunate to have a well- qualified staff of science instructors and well- equipped laboratories for microscopic work. dissection, and demonstrations. In addition to regular courses, there are extra activities offered by the department. An evening class in astronomy for advanced general section pupils meets weekly under the direction of Mr. Hunsberger. In addi- tion, field trips supplement the regular classroom work, and science fair participation increases knowledge in specific areas. Here in these very rooms where we wrote,for- mulas for Mr. Keim, we also have those wonderful laboratory periods with Mr. Angstadt, 'we were taught to think objectively and to develop ac- curacy and neatness through proper laboratory techniques. In our biology, chemistry, and physics courses, the object of the science department is to teach a pupil to apply the scientific method in solving the problems of everyday life. Mrs. Ann M. Loose, Mrs. Shirley M. Moyerj Home Economics Department Busy Day, Busy Day is the motto of our industrious 12-V girls as they learn the skills ol' homemaking. The homemaking courses, available to all girls in grades seven through twelve, are interesting and educational particularly for girls who plan a career in home economics. The various subjects studied are useful in the future. The junior year subjects are making and keeping friends, clothing construction, good grooming, family relations, fru- gality, food preparation, and home safety. The senior year subjects include a more intensified study of those of the junior year and meal planning and preparation, home planning and furnishing, child care and guidance, family relations, textiles and clothing construction, home nursing, con- sumer buying, nutrition and other subjects sug- gested by the girls. The senior year course is available as an elective for girls in the academic, general, and commercial courses. The teachers who make these courses enjoyable are Mrs. Shirley Moyer and Mrs. Ann Loose. The ninth grade girls learn the fundamentals of sewing t 12V boys work on their project books. Vocational Agriculture Department The vocational agriculture course is a four year course especially arranged for boys who plan to make farming a career. The curriculum includes class work, farm mechanics, and supervised farm- ing programs. The class work involves the study of farm management, soil and water conservation, forage and field crops, feeds and feeding, and the husbandry of dairy, poultry, and aniliiials. In farm mechanics classes the boys learn how to repair machinery, weld and use tools and power equip- ment properly. The core of the supervised farm program is a course in raising crops and animals and in keeping records of profits and losses. The primary aim of the course is to prepare rural boys for proficiency in farming. The course also prepares boys for rural leadership, citizenship, and country life. The faculty members, Mr. Kenneth Staver and Mr. Jack Schonely, do an excellent job. Each received his Bachelor of Science degree at Penn State University. Mr. Staver received his Master of Arts degree at Lehigh University. Mr. Schonely also teaches welding to other interested boys. Kenneth W. Staver,' Mr. Jack W. Schonely.

The department mem- bers enrich these courses with films, outside re- ports, current events, and trips to places of his- torical significance, PCD class members learn about security market details by buying and selling stocks on their own stock market. This year the many important events increased students' desire to learn, since they were a part of these local, state, national, and international events. They were able to realize how each event was an advantage in terms of their own lives. The main aim of social studies is briefly summed up in Mr. Davies' words: Civic responsibility is important to flj the indi- vidual student, f2j his nation, and Q31 his fellow man. Current Events are an important part of history class. Suzie and Judy lind P.O.D. class can be funny?

The physical training program, under the direction of Mrs. Saul and Mr. Silan, attempts to give every student at least one period of physical training a week. The classes begin with a roll call after which one of the students is chosen to lead the pupils in an exercise. After the calis- thenics, the boys use the rest of the period for sport competition in soccer, softball, basketball, touch football, volleyball, or wrestling. The girls participate in soccer, softball, basketball, hockey, and volleyball. Mrs. Saul instructs the girls in social and folk dancing once a month. During Mrs. Saul's illness Mrs. Krouse did a capable job in the girls' athletic department.

Class Officers A MESSAGE FROM THE SENIOR CLASS PRESIDENT: During our twelve years here we have lived and grown as studentsg we have worked toward a high school diploma. The diploma is ours, and in a certain sense, lNe have arrived. Have we academically prepared ourselves for the world of realism which lies ahead of our graduation? Have we left behind us the moral, spiritual, and academic standards to which our underclassmen can set their goals? We, the class of 1960, render our farewell and gratitude to our faculty and administration for their wholesome instruction and firm professional training. To our underclassmen, we wish success and happiness and all the benefits we have experienced at our Alma Mater. President Class of 1960 26 Mr. and K. A. This is 1' girl, have a jam session.

Your Hag, marine and white, We'Il always keep in sight, And, thus, from year to year, We'll remember you. -Grace Snyder, ' 23 I THE GIDDIO WILL Things were going on as normal on the tiny island of Aquella off the coast of Florida: Mr. and Mrs. Brown were Fighting, Hubert Brown was experimenting with his lion, and Grampa Brown was complaining, when suddenly the castle was invaded by Mrs. Brown's relatives. They were soon followed by Mr. Finkel and a letter contain- ing news of the death of Mrs. Brown's sister. To receive any inheritance several extraordinary con- ditions had to be met. Then a jazz band arrived and one strange event followed another. Some of the strange events which took place on production nights were unrehearsed. The Moxie in the punch was a shock to the entire fwell, almost entirej cast, and in spite of valiant efforts not to laugh, when Nurse Mabel lost her stuffing, even the actors lost their composure. Mr. Gougler, who wrote and directed the play, deserves our highest praise. Others worked long and hard to add to our success. Mr. Moyer and the KAHS Band furnished the music, Mr. Dreibelbis provided the scenery, Mr. Dietrich took charge of the programs, and Mrs. Lannon directed the sale of tickets. The prompters, make-up assistants, sound assistants, program assistants, stage crew, ticket sellers, and usherettes all were indispensable to our success. . 32 .1 4- . fzffif. .

The junior- Senior Farewell was an important social event of our senior year. Next to bacca- laureate and commencement, it was perhaps the most anticipated event of the year because it was much like a coming-out party for seniors. We wish to thank the juniors for all their prepa- ration in making the junior-Senior Farewell such a success, especially Sandra Schroeder, dance chair- man. The dance was held in the Brookside Coun- try Club near Wescosville on April 29, 1960. We could have danced all night. Dance chairlady, Sandra Schroeder and date. Walter Risley. ' va Lunch is served.

Varsity Basketball Once again the Cougars', ended a fine season by posting a 20-4 record. As usual our school and community can be proud of the team Mr. Silan has coached this season. Never will we forget those exciting games at Muhlenberg, Exeter, and Her- shey. The starting Hve were Lee DeTurk, Edwin Kutz, Richard Hauck, Bill Lessig and Jim Snook. Among the top reserves were Donald Zimmerman and Kraig WVagaman. Our Cougars can be proud of posting a clean conference record. The team broke two records this year. The total of 105 points against Daniel Boone set' a new record while in the same game Richard Hauck set an individual scoring record of 46 points. The co-captains this year were Lee DeTurk and Richard Hauck. The basketball season came to a halt at Hershey Sports Arena when Eastern Joint defeated the Cougars 64-61 to win the District III Semi-finals. Establishing terrific attendance records, the Cougars drew hundreds,of fans to their games. Congratulations to the team for a job well done and to all those who contributed to the excellent sportsmanship practiced at the games this year. Best of luck to the '61 Cougars.

County Championship playoffs. This was well deserved, for- the baby Cougars completed the season with a 19-1 record. The only loss came at the hands of Allentown High, and that game was a 50-48 thriller. The boys, who displayed exceptional talent, will be ex- cellent material for our future varsity teams. In their final game of the season at Wilson, the Baby Cougars held their own throughout the game and in the waning minutes dropped in needed foul shots to give them a 34-32 victory over Conrad Weiser. To the V. team goes outstanding recog- nition on their performances. 78 iron! Row: Mr. Keim, Aduiserg Keith Folk, John P.

The training is designed to develop competitive shooting. The members Hre 22 caliber rifles at a one inch target fifty feet away in a standing, sitting, kneeling, or prone positions. The boys also shoot to qualify for the National Rifle Association and Civilian Marks- manship Ratings.

Junior Varsity Cheerleaders Our cougar, Cheekua, entered his third year as mascot of the Varsity Cheerleaders with an almost entirely new squad. Only captain Marlene Fisher had had varsity experience, but under her leader- ship the girls competently cheered the team to victory. Wearing white corduroy jumpers and navy blouses and displaying the pep and enthusiasm necessary for a successful season, the Cougar Cheerleaders boosted the spirits of team members and loyal Kutztown fans. Bark In Front: Kathleen Kirk, Judith Yvessm-r, hlarcia Herring, Each girl on the Junior Varsity Cheerleading team was as new as the white blouse, and blue and white jumper she wore. Led by Dorothy Gruber and supported by their miniature mascot, Akuchee, this squad did an excellent job leading spectators in cheering for the baby cougars. In the following years these girls will replace graduating Varsity Cheerleaders. Judith Smith, hlarlcne Fisher, bfcrrily Leibenspergcr.

Under the in- struction of Mrs. Lannon it meets the first Thurs- day of the month and discusses how to govern and solve problems of the student body. Each year it sponsors weekly record dances, hall patrol, and supervises locker inspections. The council is com- posed of two members from each homeroom. The president and secretary-treasurer who have high - scholastic standings are allowed membership in the student council. These members strive to make our school one of the best in the county. 84- Third Row: Carl Bast, David Hcffley, Nancy Hummel, Cha,-- lone SClP, Leona Drcibclljis.

A fall fashion show, sponsored by F urst's Fashion Shoppe, demonstrations, group discussions, and numerous speakers and films were a few programs presented throughout the school year. Each year delegates are sent to rallies, The Older Girls, Con- ference, Officers' Training Program, and every other year to the model United Nations meeting at Harrisburg. Tri-Hi-Y The high spot on the club's calendar is the an- nual semi-formal dance. This year it was changed to just a Holiday Dance, and semi-formal attire was unnecessary. The decorations included a large decorated Christmas tree, abstract mobiles, and snow-covered evergreen branches. Another out- standing event is the Mother-Daughter Banquet, where the induction of the new officers takes place. This year the Tri-Hi1Y also raised funds for World Service, sold school jewelry, such as Cougar charms, pennant pins, and school keys, sold carna- tions for the playoff basketball game, sponsored record hops, and collected canned goods for a needy family.

B. L. A. members of Chapter 654 enthusiastically singing their club song. After devotions, club business takes up some of the time. Then a speaker, movies, demonstration of oflice machines or an occasional party consumes the remaining time. A half-day field trip to visit an industry or business located in Allentown or Reading is annually anticipated by the members. Places visited have included Call-Chronicle, Allen Laundry, Bell Telephone Company, and Lehigh Valley Cooperative Dairy. The club is especially geared for students primar- ily interested in pursuing a business career. The members are convinced that the main function of the club has a practical value-to provide them with an insight into the activities of various types of business fields. Kunkel.
