ENTERING OUR SCHOCL MR. JOSEPH A. MILLER, Ph. B. Muhlenberg College World History, American History, PENN POST, Fishing Club. You can do anything in here, even sleep, but DON'T talk and disturb those who are trying to learn. This is one of the pet phrases of collegiate-looking Mr. Miller. The father of three, he spends much of his spare time casting the fishing line. This commuter from over Wyomissing way always has a friendly smile for his students as they file into Room ll for their daily short and easy C?t quizzes. MR. LEE R. BIERLY, B.S. Kutztown State Teachers College General Mathematics Supervises Golf, Golf Club. From the depths of our beloved high school, the shrill sound of whistling echoes through the halls. The source, of co u rs e, is none other than Mr. Bierly. Although this tall, friendly individual is well-known for his interest in golf, he also promotes and participates in the development of worthwhile teenage sports and other recreational activities. A teacher must set high standards for his students to follow- a trait which fits Mr. Bierly to a tee. ll I2 Pointing out a place on the map, left to right: Mr. Explaining a problem in arithmetic, left to right: R.
