Moving into a sparkling 1.6 million dollar complex, we, as the first graduating class, began our traditional twelfth year obligations by loyally studying, playing, and usually paying to keep abreast of last year activities. The new building represented the work of many and furnished students with a greater desire for education. The Class of 1962 offered its services to the complete body of students by engaging wholeheartedly in every phase of curricular and extra-curricular activity. From mathematics to shop, from sound crew to debate team, we found ourselves fortunate with complete, modern sur- roundings. Though our class is the smallest of the last ten, we experienced crowded halls, disappointing schedules, and uncomfortable conditions because of succeeding classes who may now, as we have experienced, learn and live in fortunate sur- roundings. It is with this satisfaction that we leave K.A.H.S., knowing we have succeeded in the basic education needed by all and knowing that the climate for the process will produce many more well-rounded classes. We can confidently remember the people re- sponsible for our accomplishment: the adminis- tration, and more directly, the faculty. The following pages are attempts to portray the many facets of our school adventure. In them, the significance of work and fun in our Alma Mater is demonstrated. With them goes the sin- cere gratitude of each person in our Class of 1962 to all who made our position possible. The School Board First Row: Harold M. Heffner, Frank N. Wenrich, Lawrence W.

Dries Secretary to the Supervising Principal and School Board Clerical Staff is the center of activity in our new high school. The busiest part of this department is the main ofiice where business, such as correspondence and monetary transactions, are done with the aid of modern office equipment. Adjacent to the main oliice are the ofiices of administrators and of the staff. These rooms accommodate the supervising principal, the principal of the high school, the business manager, and the secretary to the super- vising principal and the school board .The jobs of all the administrators are essential for a well-run school.

The added space and new materials have increased the potential of this de- partment, and the private testing area conveniently located in the Guidance Room has been a great aid to the counselor. Seniors preparing for college or chosen vocations, are given a two semester guidance course. This course has proved a definite aid to senior high school pupils.

In our new library students can more easily locate useful information in the four sets of encyclopedias and many other reference books ranging from horticulture to his- tory and categorized by the Dewey decimal system. The students may also choose their required reading from the vast collection of American and foreign novels. Also within our efiicient library are necessary supplements to education including an adequate collection of magazines. Driver Education meets the growing need for safety on our roads. In this program, pupils learn psychology and basic principles of driving in the classroom. When the pupil obtains a learner's permit, he may then receive individual aid in fundamentals of actual driving in the schoolas well-equipped driver train- ing car. This on-the-spot training enables the student to learn better driving habits and to be better prepared for solo driving.

Business Education prepares a high school student for a world which is becoming increasingly competitive. The business suite, consisting of a business education room and a typing room, has been improved by many new facilities. Both are cheerful, well-lighted rooms containing modern, functional furniture. The typing room has new typewriters in addition Mrs. Held grimaces as some juniors struggle through a time test. to desks which can be raised or lowered for more comfort and convenience. Also included in the department is the Student Activity Room adjacent to the typing room. This may be used by students practicing on the various business machines. All of this equipment can be of great advantage to career-minded commercial students. Howard J. Dietrich Business Education and Department Head B. S.C., Temple University Miss Ethel Beidler Harold L.

This is an extension of one more year of each language, and in addition to the extension of the program there is the language laboratory. This enables the teach- ers to give more personal attention to each pupil. The new lab is equipped with the newest in language teaching devices-microphone, ear- phones, and tape recorders. This enables the students to master the speaking of a language more effectively than in previous years. Was ist los? B.S., Pennsylvania State University Frank L. Keim Science and Department Head Darkroom specialist Doug Dietrich enlarges some photographs, Science department in accordance with the recent emphasis on science throughout the United States is well equipped to provide the students of KAHS with the type of educational experience that both the public and institutions of higher learning are demanding. The pleasant atmosphere and layout of the rooms in which biology, chemistry, and physics are studied are conducive not only to learning but to teaching as well. As stated by the head of the department, Storage and effective display of the tremendous amount and variety of equipment necessary to teach science always posed a prob- lem. We feel this need has been adequately met in this new plant. Another teacher of these subjects feels that, If all the facilities are used to the utmost, a student should be able to secure a sound scientific background. l Charles Z.

This is advantageous since mathematics is even more important today than it has been in the past. The two rooms of the new high school are filled with new ideas and concepts that stimulate thinking. The department, which has expanded during the past year, not only provides instruction in the various branches of this subject but also has its own library. The Advanced Mathematics course is available to those seniors who plan to further their interests in fields of mathematics. In this day and age where many things are done by computers, many hundreds of people are needed to program and supervise the functioning of these machines. Also, many jobs are available for math teachers who will help mold the engineers and scientists of the next generation. J. Richard Wagner Mr. Gougler interprets sine curves in Trigonometry.

United States History deals with the progress and development of our nation. World Culture and History pertains to the culture and history of all nations. Among the most important social studies courses being taught is Problems of Democracy. P.O.D. is designed to thoroughly orientate seniors to the economic and political aspects of the United States. Because of the improved facilities, there is a greater capacity for visual aids, maps, books, and globes, the major tools of the department. With a student teacher, Mr. Davies Snickers at his struggling students during an American History test.

The department facili- ties include the new spacious gym, baseball and soccer lields, and outdoor volley ball, basketball, and tennis courts. The new gym is provided with folding doors which divide it into two separate areas and make it possible to conduct two individual classes at the same time. Especially of new interest to the Phys- ical Education classes is the new gymnastic appa- ratus. All classes have the opportunity to use the parallel bars, rings, horse, and ropes on which they can develop co-ordination and skill. Not only is the basketball court bigger and the seating capacity greater in the new gym, but the new locker rooms and shower rooms are well equipped to handle the greater number of students each year. All these improvements enable the students to develop their athletic abilities to the fullest. while on the other side of the gym partition, the girls go in for volleyball. -'Ohh Sililh Health and Physical Education and Department Head B.S., Pennsylvania State University M .S., Bucknell University William S. Moyer Music B.S., West Chester State College Music has been greatly enhanced by our new school. Besides having a large soundproof room for holding band rehearsals and chorus practice, the school has three new lesson rooms. The office of the department head is equipped with a recording device which enables him to record band and chorus selections. Another big advantage of the new Music Department is its location. Since it is a completely separate wing, it will not disturb other classes in session. Storage is no problem. Plenty of space has been provided for the storing of uniforms, instruments, and music. In addition to the new rooms, the department has received four new pianos and an organ. Our Music Department is one of the best equipped in the area, and we should all appreciate the many possibilities now available for this subject in our new school. The result of Mr. Moyer's efforts is the one hundred piece band whose concert and parade Hygiene appearances entertain music lovers in the area. facilities have been greatly improved in our new high school. Several booths have been added as dressing rooms. Adjacent to the examination area is a small soundproof room to be used for hearing tests. Space for sick students has also been increased. There are now accommodations for three students at one time in the health room. The duties of the school nurse remain as usual: super- vising hearing and vision screening, conducting chest X-rays, and tuberculin tests, and adminis- tering first aid when needed. Mrs. Mary W.

Mr. Dreibelbis tacks a picture to his art room wall board. Robert Benner drills into the jig saw under the watchful eye of Mr. Mock. Industrial Arts for the first time in three years affords the boys of the senior high school an opportunity to learn and practice the skills of general shop. Although the shop has approximately the same facilities afforded in the former high school building, the great demand for this course by so many has been reduced since the junior high and senior high are now separate. In previ- ous years only junior high school boys were given the privilege of shop, with the exception of Senior High Shop Club. This year the boys in tenth through twelfth grade are given the prerogative of electing shop as a regularly scheduled class. Individual courses in general industrial shop include metalwork and machine shop skills, wood- work, plasticwork, and mechan- ical drawing. Through these, stu- dents acquire skills in varied phases of shop work. 18 Herman A. Mock Industrial Arts B.S,, Pennsylvania State University Mr. Rentschler assists a future farmer. Mrs. Doris G. Howerter Vocational Home Economics B.S., Albright College A grlculture is grouped in two rooms of the southern section of the new building. There is an individual shop in addition to the classroom where the boys receive personalized instruction. The students are urged to utilize the available materials in the classroom and to display different farm products in the showcase. With all the new conveniences available, the boys are given more of an opportunity to advance their knowledge of vocational agriculture. Home ECONOMICS is one of the finest equipped departments in our school. The spaciousness and decorative cheerful- ness of the home economics rooms have greatly increased the interest of the KAHS girls in learn- ing the essentials of good home making. Among the newer additions to the department are the fine, new sewing machines, a dishwasher, washing machine, and clothes dryer, all of which help to maintain an atmosphere of modern efficiency.

A life that should prove to be stimulating, challenging and rewarding. Therefore, the completion of high school work is not an ending, but rather a beginning process in which your high school days have served as stepping stones to a larger, broader and fuller life. As you enter this new life, I challenge you to apply your abilities and knowledge for the good of all humanity. Maintain high ethical and moral standards and always place principle above expediency. Finally, to each member of the Class of 1962, I offer my congratulations for your present accomplishment and wish you BS Paul C. Dunkelberger Area Supervising Principal ., M.A., Pennsylvania State University Lehigh University success, satisfaction and happiness in life. PAUL C. DUNKELBERGER Supervising Principal T0 THE CLASS OF 7962 Thomas A. Edison gave this sound advice to a group of students: Always be interested in whatever you undertake or may be doing at the moment. Dismiss from your mind everything else. Think of that one thing only, keep at it, and master it. To earn a living, to discharge the responsibilities of citizenship and to enjoy the leisure which increased productivity promises, more education and training will be necessary for almost everyone in the years that lie ahead. Also, give yourself a good religious foundation. I trust that your high school will have given you a foundation of experiences which will have assisted you in developing a strong character, a well rounded life, and to know the value of getting along with other people. My sincere best wishes are extended to each and every member of the Class of 1962 for future happiness and success. L. Merlin Stauffer Principal 22 l.

We have depended on them numerous times to help plan class functions, to supervise Italian Sandwich Sales, and to assist at class meetings. The advisers chaperoned two of the most memorable occasions of our high school days, the Senior Farewell and the class trip. Each of them was willing to give us advice and encour- agement when we needed it most. We, the Class of 1962, wish to express our appreciation and gratitude.

Having gone through much together, we have met and conquered many obstacles. Now we have achieved that goal which we have been seeking and though it hasn't been easy, we are better persons because of it. Still, on the eve of graduation the greatest problem lies ahead of us. We have completed our high school education, but what we do with it still remains to be seen. For my fellow class members I wish sincere happiness and success. A word of appreciation to all of you for making our functioning as a class most pleasant and efficient. HERMANN WINKLER President, Class of 1962 Herm conducts a class meeting.

Class Pla y Three Keys, two elderly aunts who havenit spoken to each other for 15 years for no good reason at all, and protection racketeers were the basic ingredients in this year's Senior Class play. Adding their two cents' worth were a wild interior decorator, a sultry torch singer, and a guitar play- er with tive overplucked fingers. The play starts with Norman Key CRobert Halel invading the privacy of his girl friend Joan Uane Trexlerj and her two aunts Agnes CGloria Hunsickerj and Harriet McDevitt CElaine Smithj. When he discovers they are in need of cash, he turns their old house into a resort hotel. The results, although successful, at times were dubious and humorous. The play was presented November 3 and 4. It was exhilarating yet sad when it was all over. The weeks of line memorizing and rehearsal died with the applause at the final curtain call. We, the Senior Class, would like to thank Mr. Gougler, our director, the K. A. H. S. Band under the direction of Mr. Moyer, and all the behind-the- scenes people who contributed their time and effort to making this play a success. To the Class of ,63 we wish good luck in their production next year.

In addition the members discuss current develop- ments and problems in the literary Held, as well as contemporary topics.

Band The Kutztown Area Senior High School Band is one of the school's finest attributes. The group assists regularly at assembly programs, marches in various parades, provides entertainment at school sponsored plays, at commencement, and various summer engagements. These are not the only activities in which the Band participates. Most important of all events are the concerts presented twice yearly. However, only one con- cert was performed during the year due to the late start of school. The concerts attract hun- dreds of music lovers and at the same time teach appreciation and application of musical funda- mentals to the members of the organization. Through the experience acquired in Band, talented persons may participate in County, Dis- trict, and State Band festivals. At the climax of each year the entire group is treated to a picnic as a reward for the work done by its members. Mr. Moyer leads a jam session as , I 2?

This new sport is track. Although the turnout for the team was small, the boys who are on the team have done very well in their first year. In the junior high, the 880 yard relay team won two third places at county meets and John Bieber won a third place in the half mile event. In the senior high Dave Wilson won a Hrst place in the mile and half mile at Dieruff High School, and a first place at the West Reading Invita- tional County track meet. On the whole the boys have worked very hard and are looking forward to some very successful seasons in the future.

Poor weather con- ditions made practices infrequent and some games had to be postponed to later dates. Highlights of the season included a victory over undefeated Daniel Boone 10-9. Joe DeMatteo had 5 R.B.I.s in the Brandywine game, which was won by Kutz- town ll-5. Ron Siegfried was a superb hitter all season giving him the highest batting aver- age t.543J, followed by Joe DeMatteo C.4l3J, and David Madeira C.345J. This being Coach John Silan's last season of baseball coaching, the team worked hard to prove that his instruction was invaluable. Many under- classmen made the team this year and should pro- vide next year's baseball coach, Mr. Petrenchak, with a good core for a successful team com- bination.
