Dedication The Kutztown Area High School is proud to dedicate its 1988 Yearbook to an outstanding teacher - Richard C. Gougler. After graduation from Muhlenberg College, Mr. Gougler began his teaching career at Kutz- town in 1951. During his 37 years here, he has taught Trigonometry, Analytical Geometry, Senior Math, Calculus, Linear Algebra, Probability and English. But Mr. Gougler was not just a good teacher, he was also in- volved in many plays and musicals put on by KAHS students. During his first year of teaching he organized the Curtain Callers , a group who performed the play Our Hearts Were Young And Gay. ln 1952, under Mr. Gougler's direction, they performed Are We Dressingfor an assembly and To The Lovely Mar- garet on radio. For 27 years Mr. Gougler was continually involved with the plays and musicals. Some years, he not only directed but also wrote the plays. Some of his achievements include: The Goddess, 1956, The Giddio, 1960, Mavis and the Moon Man, 1961, One Extra Swigg, 1965, and The Giddio Will, 1973. His last major productions were in 1977 when he directed the musical Bye, Bye Birdie and the play lfA Man Answers. He kept involved with dramatics though by directing last year's Faculty Variety Show and assisting in the Senior Variety Show. Mr. C.ougler's other activities in- cluded advisor for the Projection Club from 1956 until 1980, faculty manager of music, Senior Class advi- sor and Senior Dean. During most of his tenure he was also head of the Mathematics Department. Mr. Gougler retired in january. We, his students, his friends and his fellow workers, hope his retirement will be as full and rewarding as the years he spent at KAHS.

At this point in our lives, we are all facing our futures. ln order to see where our futures will take us, we first need to consider who we are. This is the time when we recognize our individualism and discover indepen- dence. Over the years, each of us has developed into unique personalities with particular values and distinct goals. Because we have grown into our own people, we should consider the influences which have made us who we are today. When we first came together as a class, we knew only our families and the lessons from home. At school it became necessary to get to know and co-operate with our classmates. We began to devel- op ideas about people and relationships. We grew close to special friends who, during both fun and serious times, enriched our lives. In the classroom, our teachers taught us the facts and ideas which all improve our lives. This combination of influences changed our self-images and our points of view on the outside world. As we have grown older, we have specialized these images and views to suit our personal needs. This had made us individuals. As we go onto the next stage of our lives, to face whatever our futures hold, we will each do it on our own. But we will always have the pieces of ourselves which Kutztown Area High School and the Class of 1988 have formed. These pieces fit together to make special and unique people who probably would have turned out differently. Sara Hall '88
