However, there is a great difference between this drama and the great plays of Shakespeare. In this drama, ascending action is the only aim we have: descending action is ab olutely undesirable. Also, the magnificent climax is not reached until the crowning event of our production, commencement. The curtain rises upon a rather numerous crowd of carefree Preshmen. We soon find ourselves humiliated in an old-fashioned hazing, administered by domineering upperclassmen. Pinally. we settled down to work and embarked upon our voyage in the quest of knowledge. In the next scene we perceive a group of Sophomores, trying to appear wise to the new crop of green Freshmen, freshly recruited. With a lively Hallowe’en party, the ties binding us together were drawn closer. A cloud of sorrow descended upon us at the sad death of our beloved classmate, Rue Cooley. As the curtain rises upon the third act. we find an industrious group of Juniors laboriously striving to gain an education. This year we became the proud owners of our new class rings of black onyx and gold. Toward the close of the year, we became the proud tenants of the new addition to our school building. Amid a gaily decorated scene, we entertained the Seniors in the event which dedicated our new gymnasium, the Junior-Senior Prom. Now the curtain rises upon the fourth and final scene of our drama. We are a rather dignified group of Seniors. With the determination of making this “Comet” the best, we began concentrated work on the book. A Hallowe'en party broke the monotony of serious work. This year, we were entertained by the Juniors at a fine reception. Commencement time is here. As we look upon our journey, we hope that our contributions to activities, athletics and otherwise, have been worthwhile. Keeping in mind the obstacles before us. we embark upon the road of life with firm resolutions to be a credit to our Alma Mater. The curtain falls on the final act of this Class of 1932. —Harold Stout. Historian T.iaiUu.millL'L m l 19 1 GRACE BREINIG -------------------- “Gracious” Gracious” certainly lives up to her name.

It is sent by Fred Peters, who is a student at Oxford. The two boys are boyhood friends.) Oxford, England April 28, 2232 Dear John, Do you remember my writing about that lead door-stop that my roommate founu in our room when we arrived here? Its dimensions were slightly larger than a brick’s and it was roughly smelted together. It looked innocent enough in itself; yet we were always conscious ol us existence. It had a most exasperating manner of getting into our way and of being everywhere except at the door. We often grappled sleepily under the bed for a shoe ana to our disgust laid hold of that lead door-stop. More than once we mistook it for a certain law book; and many a time, in the middle of the night it would fall from somewhere with a most alarming noise. Ol course there were times when we thought it was indispensable—when there was a nail to be hammered, when there was an insect to be killed, or when there was a human bug” who had to be chased from the room, but on the whole, it was far more of a nuisance than a help; so we decided to chuck'' it! We had often tried to smuggle it into somebody else’s room; but it had an uncanny manner of reappearing, no matter how skillfully we planned its riddance. Phis we attributed to the initials W. L. P. which were smelted into the lead; the same initials were to be found carved in other places around our room. One day after it had fallen on my foot, 1 tugged it under my coat and resolved to walk to the Thames and hurl it in the river’s depths. As I was desirous of hastily delivering my burden, I ran down the back stairs, stumbled over somebody's suitcase and flew pell mell into the arms of the Dean. In my embarrassment I forgot about the door-stop and with a thud it fell to the floor. I immediately proceeded truthfully to confess the whole history of the door-stop, thinking that the only means by which 1 could gain the sympathy of the dean. After my somewhat pitifully exaggerated narration, he smiled, told me to pick up the door-stop and replace it in my room where it had been for centuries. Yesterday as I sat at my desk thinking of my forefathers, all of whom had studied and practised law, my eyes fell on the door-stop; and they rested on the initials W. L. P. Why! Those were the very initials of my great-great grandfather. Walter LeRoy Peters. I examined the - 1 [ 36 ] t®he®0inet y--- door-stop thoroughly and before the day was over I had carefully melted the one end of it and thus found a diary which Walter Peters or one of his friends had evidently enclosed in there. I absorbed the whole diary and found it very interesting. I am sending you a brief biography of the classmates of my great-great grandfather and of yours, who was Abram Yeakel. I guess I needn’t tell you of the famous Yeakel and Son. Attorneys at Law. who had more successful suits than any other standing firm. Walter Peters was elected judge in the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. William Abel had been employed in the United Stales Air Mail service, on a route from New York to Chicago: but after his marriage he devoted himself to auto mechanics. On a trip to Yellowstone National Park. Walter Peters met John Allen who was assistant to the chief forester in the Jefferson National Forest in Montana. Nazareth was quite proud to claim Kenneth Altemose, who was a baseball star in the Athletics of Philadelphia. The only time that Elizabeth Koch had peace of mind was when Kenny came home for a few months during the winter to recuperate. “Reds” was private secretary to the President of the Nazareth Cement Company. The students of Nazareth High School were still enjoying the lyceum programs: the most entertaining one in 1952 was by the Snyder Comedians including Margaret Seyfried, Howard Getz. Arlene Fehnel and Harold Snyder. Their performances were strikingly original and humorous: they had toured in nearly all the states and were planning to go to Canada. Grace Breinig was living in New York as a designer of window displays for Tiffany. After many years of training. Dorothy Deichman received her Doctor's Degree in the famous Mayo Clinic, Rochester. Minnesota. In her private laboratories she discovered a cure for cancer. The discovery of this medicine enabled her to give large amounts of money for charity. John Gardner and Truman Worman were engineers of television for WIP. Gimbel Brothers. Philadelphia. John became chief transmitting engineer and Truman was safe-photo-engineer. “Latest styles” was the sign that hung in front of Victoria Stannard’s house; she was married a few years after she graduated from high school and then helped her progeny in their school work. Duaine Shiffert was Nazareth’s leading dentist; his motto was “painless extraction” and that was the drawing card for many patients. Albert Knauss and Edwin Hummel had helped to establish a power plant in Argentina. I l y, Ml m 1371 Nazareth High Alumni were quite well represented on the faculty, at that time. Helen Lutz and Rose Mahorsky were Commercial teachers, Marlen Kern was professor of Chemistry, and Eva Reimer headed the Music Department. Martha Schlegel and Lena Sottolano were pilots in the Women’s Air Corps in the Russian War. It was in their planes that the Red Cross nurses, Marguerite Mabus, Marie Young, and Esther Millhouse were transferred from Moscow to Stahlingrad, the new capitol. Although Nazareth had grown to be a second class district, yet it was satisfied with “Home Butchered Meats” delivered by Lester Hartman and Son. Charles Shafer and Roy Hahn were partners in establishing a trans-Atlantic air route. It was on one of their wild excursions in the Antartic that they discovered Kenneth Shankweiler, who had an accident with his plane while looking for new land. Kenneth was quite a famous aviator and many people were concerned when he didn’t return; he had survived in those icy regions for a month when Charles and Roy found him. Victoria Koch was librarian at Lafayette College. Charles Freeman was the successor of Darrow and was sought for even more eagerly by criminals than Darrow. Nelson Bramer had a nervous break-down from the strain of professorship in modern light operas, l ie had been traveling in Maryland at the time and was taken to the Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore. Here he was under the supervision of Dorothy Rubright who was head nurse of the psychiatric ward. His recovery was immediate. Harold Stout made himself famous as a chemist by discovering the 85th element; he was slightly indebted to George Shupp for his success. John Kuller was bookkeeper in the Penn-Dixie Cement Plant. Pennsylvania was particularly fortunate in having a very diligent game commissioner by the name of Edgar Babp. Erika Marx was endeavoring to Christianize and civilize Tibetan heathens in a little mission station near Leh, Tibet. On the Bath Pike a farm called “Meadow Brook” was scientifically managed by Mike Kisner. That includes all the members of the graduating class of 1932. If time allowed.

As we look back over 1932. we remember that soon after the term had started our attention was turned to the selection of a class ring and pin. Representatives from many companies presented attractive samples for our approval. A final vote was taken, the rings ordered, and we received them a few weeks before Christmas. The outstanding social event of the year was the Prom held in honor of the Seniors. On the evening of April 15, 1932. members of both classes assembled in the gym which was gaily decorated in red and white streamers. Those who attended enjoyed themselves by dancing and playing games. The music was furnished by “Danny Dever’s Orchestra.” As in former years, our classmates have participated in the following school activities: hockey, football, basketball, and baseball. Likewise many of our classmates hold membership in such clubs as Commercial. Latin. Dramatic. Boys’ and Girls’ Glee Clubs and the Orchestra. We wish luck to the Seniors who are leaving us this year, and we hope to carry on their work with equal success. Anna D. Engle. Historian BT ggnAimmnrn J ) J ?k [ 43 1 Allen, Grace.........

Philip Barry’s “The Youngest , was presented on Friday evening. June 3, by the class of 1932 under the direction of Miss Sloat. The action of the play takes place at the Winslow home in a small New York State city. Richard, the youngest son, a would-be writer anti a much picked-on chap, greatly resents the fact that the entire family try to standardize him and make him join his brothers in their pin factory. Richard's open revolt is brought to a climax, when Nancy Blake, his sister’s friend, comes to visit the family over the Fourth of July. She first discovers that Richard’s father made his will before Richard was born. According to the New York statute, Richard can inherit just as though he were included in the will. Consequently, by compounding interest Richard really owns the home and the pin factory. With Nancy as his champion, the youngest eventually learns to assert himself, and turns upon his oppressors in splendid style. Romance and comedy are blended in a series of interesting situations thru which Richard finally comes into his own.

The question debated was: Resolved, That the Several States Should Enact Legislation for Compulsory Unemployment Insurance. As has been the case in the last few years, it resulted in a tie for the three affirmative teams. The Nazareth affirmative defeated the Pen Argyl negative at Nazareth and the Nazareth negative was defeated by Northampton at Northampton. The Pen Argyl affirmative team defeated the Northampton negative at Pen Argyl. The members of the Nazareth High School affirmative team were Walter Peters '32. captain; Lena Sottolano ’32; Rose Mahorsky ’32; and Frank Temmel ‘34, alternate. The members of the negative team were: Harold Stout ’32. captain: John Allen ’32: Margaret Seyfried '32: and Kathryn Saylor '33, alternate.

The story centers about Peggy and Patrick, a happy couple until Peggy begins to steal all the girls’ sweethearts and Patrick becomes jealous. With the aid of 0’ Noale, an ingenious scheme is laid in which Peggy masquerades as her brother and Patrick as Mike’s niece. Each, of course, does this without the other's knowledge which leads to many interesting complications; but love leads the way and brings the story to a happy close.

[ 68 ] iFmitball QTl-IE heavy football team of 1031 managed to successfully outdo some strong opposing teams and prevented many of the others from securing large scores against them. The first game of the season was. like the year before, a decided victory for our squad. Incidently, it might be mentioned that the final score against Coplay (19-0) was the same as the team of 1930 had scored. In the second game with Washington, our team was defeated by two touchdowns. After a two-week “lay-off,” we scored a decided victory over a bewildered Quakertown team, the score ending up 27-0. The next game of the season was with Pen Argyl, reputed to have quite a combination; but the Nazareth High team tamed them to a tie 12-12. Catasauqua was the victor the following week. Although they greatly outweighed our boys, the team was able to hold them scoreless the first half. A long pass finally caused our defeat, while a safety added two more points to the final score of 9-0. The Bangor game was considered the hardest for our team. The score was seven to nothing in favor of Bangor when a fighting Nazareth team pushed a touchdown over late in the fourth period. They were unable to secure the extra point necessary for victory. The game with Northampton was a Nazareth victory of 12-7. The annual Thanksgiving game with Wilson was a great disappointment both to the public and to the team, itself. The Nazareth team was conceded an even chance of victory; but it finally ended in our defeat. .xml t t 70 ] Back row: Coach Leh, Ruhf, Shook, Bath, Sterlachini, Cassano, Faculty Mgr., Cump Third row: Asst.

The sport had been innovated in the beginning of the school year 1930, when hockey equipment was purchased and intramural games were played. The large number of girls that took an interest in this new sport was enough evidence lo prove that it would be a popular one. So with an enlarged number of hockey sticks and balls and an ample field measured off for hockey practise. Nazareth High School saw the dawn of another athletic recreation. Games were scheduled with three of the neighboring schools, namely: Allentown. Bethlehem and Bangor, and out of the six games played the Nazareth girls succeeded in tieing one: the remaining five they lost. As can be seen from the scores. Bangor proved to be the most oppressive opponent: yet the hospitality that the Bangor girls showed in entertaining the Nazareth team at their initial game expiated any disappointment they felt at their first defeat. The other two teams were fair matches for Nazareth and the respective games proved quite exciting. A passing alibi that Nazareth could make for being conquered was the fact that she did not possess the suitable armor. W ith this in mind the girls were allowed to serve dinners for the teachers thru Institute Week and with the very efficient management of the mothers of the girls and some of their friends they succeeded in earning the grand total of a hundred dollars. With a part of this money, shin guards were purchased which the girls thoroughly enjoyed using for the rest of the season. The rest of the money, the team of 1931 automatically bequeathed to the prospective hockey team, and they in turn predict a hopeful future for the sport of hockey in Nazareth High School.

Coach Ott (Sirlfi’ Haakrtball — c — OACII Ott began practising with her team a few weeks before the season opened, as she realized that they would miss the three star players that graduated with the seniors. Although the team was not very successful in winning games this year, yet the time they spent in practising helped to train the junior members for the ensuing season. Their center. Dorothy Deichman, is the only graduating varsity player. The team won five games, and tied one out of the thirteen that they played. The first game with Wilson proved to be the most interesting of the season. At the end of the first half the opponents seemed to be so much in the lead that victory for our team was impossible; but our players fought hard and by the end of the game they had brought our score to a tie with Wilson. A factor which perhaps helped to incite a fighting spirit in the girls was the fact that they had new suits. The team presented a pleasant picture arrayed in snow white suits. It is hoped that the girls wearing those suits next year will cooperate to make a victorious team. Ctfratl I 7.r ] Back row: Coach Leh, Faculty Mgr., G. Cump; Student Mgr., M. Kern; J. Mahorsky, H.

Michael iBnya’ Basketball 1 IE season of 1931-1932 was one of the mo;t disastrous basketball seasons that Nazareth High School has ever experienced. This was partly due to the lack of experience; there were only two regular varsity men left on our team after the seniors graduated. The season began rather well after the first stinging defeat at the hands of Quakertown. which we later avenged by defeating them on our floor. Although Coach Leh practised with the boys as hard as ever, yet the team always seemed to miss a few points to carry them to victory. The boys realized that they were fortunate in playing in a new gymnasium, with more and better facilities: and they hope that the future teams of Nazareth High School will build up a fine reputation for this gymnasium!

This loss was due to a defeat at the hands of the Bangor team; an exciting game of twelve innings in which Bangor scored her victory in the last inning by an overthrow to the catcher. The other reverse which the team suffered was with Pen Argyl, the score standing at the finish 6-3. The remaining games of the season were won with comfortable scores.
