Clute twenty C LA S S E S THE COMET Our Progress Like a new invention needing much improvement, we, the class of ’41, entered a new phase of experimentation on a bright September morning in 1938. As sophomores we were embarking on our career in senior high school. It took us quite some time to settle down and do some work. Later we enjoyed the Hallowe’en party and the purchasing of pennants and emblems. During our junior year we received our class rings and by that time we began to feel a relationship toward the seniors. This relationship was solidified by the numerous social functions which ended in a blaze of joy at the Prom. But as inventions are improved speedily, the senior year found us improving in our attitude toward extra class activities. “What a Life”, our senior play, the “Comet”, the Prom, at which we were the guests of the junior class, and the Hallowe’en, Thanksgiving, and Christmas parties were the outstanding events. Now after all this experimentation and hard labor, we are practically finished with our high school years. Although some of us may go to other institutions, none of us will ever forget the three happy years at N. H. S- William Breidinger, Historian. twenty-two GERALD ARNOLD “Fodder' Now or never is Fodder’s” attitude towards German which is his Waterloo. Tallness accounts for his participating in the half mile for track, while accuracy gives him the qualities of a good basketball player. Gerald’s main indoor recreation is dancing, which he does very well. Track (2) (3), Assistant Manager (1); Blue and White Orchestra (1) (2); Science Club (1); Band (1); Glee Club (2); Gym Exhibition (3). WINIFRED ARNOLD This pert little miss comes from Stockertown. Winnie’s” quiet nature is not deceiving, for she is a taciturn person. Unlike most girls, she enjoys doing housework which is her hobby. Besides this, Winnie” enjoys studying or going to the movies. Basketball (1); Glee Club (1); Operetta (1); Blue and White Standard, Typist (2); Commercial Club (3). GERALD BATT “Slim “Oxford 0100”—no other than Mr. Ferguson of the senior play, known to his friends as “Slim”. As one of the class cut-ups, Gerald has provoked many a laugh from his class- mates. He is also well-known for his musical ability, both instrumental and vocal. Perhaps someday we’ll be listening to band maestro Gerald, because he hopes to be a famous musician in the future.

Although out late some nights, “Becky’s” sleep is made up on Saturdays, oundays, and holidays. He gets along in all sub- jects except English. His main ambition is walking his girl friend to and from school. Class Basketball (1) (2); Craft Club (1). MURRAY BERNSTEIN “Bernstein” A tall, husky fellow with black curly hair is Murray who hailed from California. He probably wanted to get a diploma from a good school; at least, that’s what we think. Although not an exceptional student, his humor marks him as one who is easy to get along with. He puts in a lot of time for teachers after 3:30, but Bernstein is a good basketball player. Track (3); Class Basketball (3). ROBERT BITZ “Bitzie” The eighth wonder of the world would be “Bitzie” study- ing during the fifteen minute periods. Watch those bandanas, girls, for there’s “Bitzie” at his tricks. Although a commercial student, he is more interested in sports than in his chosen field. Football, Assistant Manager (1); Basketball, Assistant Manager (1), Manager (2); Athletic Association (2). luvnly-four ELAINE BLAKE “Skeeball” A chubby lass with blonde hair and blue eyes. Could that be “Skeeball” buried in a chemistry book? We wonder why she’s so fond of it. However, we do know that Elaine enjoys music, and is a member of the Glee Club and A Cappella Choir.

JEAN BOERSTLER “Jake” “How-do-you-do?” This is Mrs. Aldrich of What a Life” fame. This chubby lass is always wearing a happy smile and ready to burst into giggles at any moment. Jean is faithful to her studies as well as to that “certain person”.

DOROTHY BOYER “Dot” The lass with the friendly smile, “Dot” no less. She seems to like school and may be seen at school dances, but her other interests center around the metropolis of Northampton. Why, Dorothy? twenty-five THE CDMET RUSSELL BREIDINGER “Breidinger” Who’s that good looking fellow from Stockertown? Why, it’s none other than Breidinger who has mastered the art of blushing. Russell likes all languages except English. His in- terest in science will no doubt be a help to him in his chosen field of aviation. Science Club (2) (3). WILLIAM BREIDINGER “Bill Toot! Toot! Ta, ta!—that must be “Bill” practicing his trumpet or trombone. He enjoys all forms of music, partic- ularly instrumental. He is an excellent chemistry student and comprises one-half of the team, “Deily and Breidinger” whose headquarters is the “chem. lab.” Glee Club (1) (2) (3); A Cappella Choir (3); Operetta (1) (3); Music Festival (2); Band (1) (2), President (3); Orchestra (1), Secretary (2); Blue and White Orchestra (1); Brass Choir (2) (3); Science Club (2) (3); Dramatic Club, Secretary (3); Forum Club, Secretary (3); Class President (1); Class Treasurer (2); Class Historian (3); Student Council (1); Senior Play, Major (3); Blue and White Standard (2), Co-Editor (3). MIRIAM BREINIG “Mim” Serious, studious, and dependable, describe “Mim” to a T. She is interested in commercial subjects, and does her duties well. Although Miriam usually is very quiet, her funny-bone sometimes gets the best of her and the wittiness that bubbles forth can be surpassed by few. Commercial Club (2) (3); Blue and White Standard, Typist (2) (3); Comet, Typist (3). twenty-six FRANCES BRODY “Brody” Here we have “Miss Pike” of the senior play. “Brody” enjoys public speaking, and is a member of the Forum. In her sophomore year, she participated in the Oratorical Con- test. Did you hear music? It’s only Frances playing the piano, her favorite pastime.

JOYCE BUCCHI “Bucchi” Chatter! Chatter! Chatter! It’s no other than “Bucchi”. Need a friend? Joyce will come to your aid. 7:30 a. m. means out-of-bed for most students, but band rehearsal for “Buc- chi” and her clarinet. Joyce is also an eager participant in all sports.

But even with a load of girls, “Bussy” does good work. His love for science has listed him as one of the most active members of the Sci- ence Club. Far above this is his interest in a certain girl who comes from Tatamy; naturally, we wouldn’t know her name. Track (1); Commercial Club (1); Science Club (2) (3); Gym Exhibition (3). twtnty-tevfn THE CDMET LIVIO CLARONI “Lee” “Heads up” shouts “Lee” as he plays short-stop on a “quick get up” baseball team. Having few extra-curricular activities, Livio takes the shoe leather express for Hecktown at 4 o’clock each day. Glee Club (1); Track (1); Baseball (3). GRACE COLVER “Grade” Click! Click! Click! That’s Grace pounding away on the typewriter. Besides doing her share as typist for the Blue and White Standard, “Gracie” is active in the Commercial and Glee Clubs. Brown hair, brown eyes, and a pleasant smile add to her attractiveness. Commercial Club (1) (2) (3); Operetta (1) (2) (3); Blue and White Standard, Typist (3); Glee Club (1) (2) (3). Crty- J WILLIAM DEUTSCH A light haired, blue eyed short chap is “Shorty”, William spends much time at the “Y” setting up pins for bowlers. Swimming and football are his favorite sports. Baseball, Assistant Manager (1) (2); Class Basketball (2) (3). twriityciyht WILLIAM DLUGOS “Figgy William is noted for his freckles and his fondness for drawing. “Figgy’s” extraordinary artistic talent has aided in the production of the “Comet”. Even though he sketches during classes, he doesn’t neglect his school work. Comet, Art Editor (3). FLORENCE DREBERT “Flossie “Flossie” hails from far-away Alaska. If silence were gold- en, Florence would be wealthy. Regardless of her quietness, she is a competent worker and can always be depended upon to do her share. Anything having to do with home econom- ics is a favorite with her and she hopes to make it her career. Glee Club (3); Forum (3). ELIZABETH DUSINSKI “Betty” “Betty” possesses naturally wavy hair that makes the girls envious when the weather is damp. She is usually quiet and ladylike, but, like everyone else, enjcys fun and laughter when the occasion arises. The opposite sex and social func- tions are “Betty’s” pet aversions; at least we’re led to be- lieve this is the case.

She is without doubt one of our best forwards on the bas- ketball team and can make a basket quicker than greased lightning. Besides sports, she is one of Mrs. Greiner’s short- hand demons. Baseball (2) (3); Volley Ball (3); Commercial Club (2). MARIE EDELMAN “Marie Small and rather serious; big brown eyes and sandy hair— Marie, of course. Though she comes from Heck town she finds time to participate in school activities. Marie spends her spare time indulging in her hobby, piano playing. She displays further musical interest as a member of the Glee Club and A Cappella Choir.

Commercial Club (1) (2) (3); Dramatic Club (2); Base- ball (2); Volley Ball (2). . thirty GLADYS ENGLER “Gladdy” Blush, Blush. Boy! That blush of “Gladdy’s” certainly makes Mr. Tomato look anemic. Together with her frequent blushes, Gladys has a keen sense of humor which she dis- plays many times a day. She is also the baby of the senior class and is very often treated accordingly. Commercial Club (1) (2) (3); Baseball (2). RUTH ENGLER “Ruth Quietness is one of Ruth’s chief virtues- Maybe others could profit by her example. Ruth’s industriousness produces good results in commercial work. Is it a hook or a crook? It’s only Ruth practicing her shorthand. Commercial Club (2) (3). WILMER FEHNEL Wilmer” Hobby No. 1—eating. Wilmer would rather eat than sleep. When winter comes, Wilmer’s bicycle has a vacation. What would the girls do without his teasing? Wilmer hopes to become a minister; maybe that’s why he is so talkative. thirty-one “Rose1 THE CtTMET BERTHA FOCHT “Bert” Team! Team! Team! It’s Bertha spurring Nazareth on to victory. Besides reading many romances, Bertha spends much time in the company of a certain junior on the varsity bas- ketball team. Class Assistant Secretary-Treasurer (2) (3); Cheerleader (3). RUTH FISHER “Fisher” Who’s that dark haired, lively little soul from Room 25? Yes, you guessed it. It’s none other than “Fisher”. Ruth is very fond of basketball and makes a good forward. Besides basketball, this vivacious senior is quite interested in skating.

One minute before the buzzer and there goes Rose hurry- ing down the hall to do some last minute business. As man- ager of the magazine campaign, Rose has shown her keen business sense. She is also an active member of the glee club, dramatic club, and the Forum. If you’re looking for Rose, better try the gym as she’s interested in all sports. thirty-two NELLA FRATTALI Nella” Hair black as a raven’s Dark brown eyes A pleasant personality— Mix above ingredients together and we have Nella. Nella is musically inclined, for she belongs to the Glee Club and A Cappella Choir. Sports also play an important part in her busy life. That Nella is industrious and eager to learn, is well proved by her grades.

VIRGINIA FREE “Ginny” Dark hair, sparkling brown eyes, and a contagious giggle, it’s no other than “Ginny”. A swell pal and friend, she takes great interest in sports and social activities at Nazareth. Her romantic interests, however, stray from Nazareth. “Ginny” aims to be one of those “women in white”. Class Treasurer (3); Athletic Council (2); Hockey (1) (2) (3); Basketball (2) (3); Volley ball (1) (2); Baseball (1), Manager (2); Class Assistant Secretary-Treausrer (2). FRANCES GLOSS “Frances” 1-2-3! 1-2-3! Pity the poor neighbors when Frances starts practicing on her piano. Seriously though, Frances has tal- ent and practices diligently. Besides this musical interest, she is also quite an able skater and may some day rival Sonja Henie.

MARIE GROLLER “Sugar” Dark hair, dark eyes, and a flashing smile reveal Marie. She spends her spare time, in school and out, reading any- thing from Grace Livingston Hill to Lloyd C. Douglas. This hobby, however, will come second, when Marie goes into training. Volleyball (1) (2) (3); Baseball (1) (2) (3). ESTHER HAFTLE “Haftle” Football field! Band! Color Guard! Then “Haftle”.

Dramatic Club (2) (3); Glee Club (3); Baseball (2), Manager (3). DONALD HECKMAN “Mitch Here’s “Mitch,” a short, bashful but intelligent student. Commercial subjects are his favorite and stamp collecting is his major hobby. Delivering papers after school is his chief reason for the rush to Hecktown at 3:30 each day. Baseball Assistant Manager (1); Class Basketball (1). thirty-five THE CD MET HAROLD HECKMAN “Hecky” Here’s a young man who’s fond of the out-of-doors and enjoys a good time. Ice skating, baseball, football, and roller skating are his primary sports while swimming, tennis, and track are his secondary ones. German usually gives him a headache, but minor aches are forgotten when he meets one cf his girl friends.

ROBERT HITCHENS “Hitchens” This tall, broad shouldered lad is cne of those individuals who is able to see the humorous side of life; but, of course, he has his serious moments, too. As an active member of our football team, “Hitchens” has been a great help. Robert has also been an efficient member of the business staff of the Comet. His greatest desire is to be a resident physician of a large hospital.

DORIS HOCH “Hochie Meet Doris, our Comet artist! Doris, who won first prize in an art contest sponsored by Lehigh University, was quite in demand during the production of this book.

JOSEPH JANDROSITZ “Ambul” “Watch that pass”, shouts “Ambul” as he carries the ball for Nazareth. Besides being our football captain, he is also an excellent student although a bit shy.

Her sparkling blue eyes and dimpled smile have helped brighten many a dull moment. “Polly’s” efficiency and willingness should help to make her “somebody’s stenog”.

ANDREW KAVCAK “Andy” Meet Einstein II, otherwise, just plain “Andy”. Andrew is very interested in science and would rather peer into a test tube any day than eat. By the way, who is that brown- eyed senior from Room 29 who interests Andrew so much? Besides these other interests, Andrew is also very industrious and tackles his work with great enthusiasm. Football (2), Varsity (3); Science Club (3); Student Council (1) (2). ROBERT KECK “Kecky” Peek into the Lab—it’s “Kecky”, developing pictures. This young chap helped to make our football team successful. What does “Kecky” do with his spare time? Maybe a certain senior could enlighten us.

Elton has a wild craving for mischief, which sometimes brings trouble to the inventor. Besides being interested in sports, dramatics and vocal music, he has another interest. Don’t rush him, girls; he has plenty of dances left. Football (1) (2) (3); Craft Club (1) (3); Dramatic Club (2) (3); Science Club (2) (3). JUNE KELLOW “June” “Fight, fight!

Trigonometry and English are his two stumbling blocks. He’s a comical fellow who’s sure to be the spirit of any party and whose hobby is forgetting to do his lessons.

Must be “Dot” for it is her chief diversion. She goes out for sports in a big way and is at her best as guard on Ruth’s basketball team. Dot’s ambition is to have 90 per cent on her report card in Problems, but being a member of the Forum Club proves that she is inter- ested in the subject as well as the grade.

Llewellyn studies and achieves some of the highest grades in his class.

ELIZABETH LERCH “Betty “Betty” is the little brunette who is frequently seen with “Becky”. But “Betty” is also interested in sports, and par- ticipates in most of them. She would make an attractive pic- ture in a white uniform. Orchestra (1); Basketball (1); Color Guard (2). RAYMOND LINDENMOYER “Shovelmouth” That Raymond is one of the class jesters everyone seems to agree. This jolly individual is very much unlike the grave Mr. Patterson in “What A Life”. All his spare time is de- voted to his hobby, science. As one of Nazareth’s cheer- leaders, Raymond helps to rally school spirit. Besides this, Raymond is very much devoted to the opposite sex.

Since he must catch the only Moorestown bus at 4 o’clock, Elwood hasn’t any time for extra class activities. Otherwise it would mean “thumbs up” in order to get home. Track (2); Class Basketball (3); Gym Exhibition (3). BERNARD MARSH “Marshy” Calling X Y Z! Calling X Y Z! It’s none other than “Mar- shy” tinkering around his radio again. Besides radio, Ber- nard enjoys track. This quiet individual is considered an all- round fellow. P. S. He can, however, be a terrible pesky person. Track (1) (2), Varsity (3); Science Club (3). DOROTHY MEIXSELL That “silence is golden” must be “Dot’s” favorite proverb, for she is one of Stockertown’s few taciturn people. Her in- terests lie in the commercial field and her ambition is to be a bookkeeper. In spite of this, she finds time for her hobby, art. Commercial Club (1) (2) (3); Glee Club (1); Operetta (1). forty-three THE COMET DONALD MERTZ “Mertz Three cheers, he made a basket! It’s “Mertz” playing his favorite game, basketball. In addition to parading the halls a great deal, Donald’s specialty is talking. Perhaps that is why he frequently is in trouble. Class Basketball (1) (2) (3); Track, Assistant Manager (1); Baseball (2); Football (2). MILLICENT METZ “Millie A giggle and then a loud crash from the “lab”. It must be “Millie”.

Or) MIRIAM MEYER “Aftmi” Giggle! Giggle! It’s just “Mimi” coming down the hall. She and Betty are discussing their latest boy friends. Sewing and cooking are Miriam’s pet hobbies.

If you want Charles as a friend, just “stick up” for the Detroit Tigers, his favor- ite baseball team. ARLENE MILLHEIM Serious, diligent, and industrious—that’s Arlene. Her eag- erness to learn has been of great value to her during her years at school. This dark haired, pleasant lassie is very well known for her ability to help a friend when affairs go wrong. Commercial Club (1) (2) (3); Glee Club (2) (3); Oper- etta (2) (3); Blue and White Standard, Typist (3), Assist- ant Business Manager (2). EVELYN MITMAN “Evelyn” This young lady has a pleasing sense of humor, which she has especially displayed in French class. Evelyn is domes- tically inclined with a yen for cocking and sewing. Her abil- ity with the needle has helped her to make many of her clothes. Glee Club (2); Music Festival (2). THE COMET HELEN MITMAN “Mitman” Tap! Tap! It’s “Mitman” finishing a piece of woodwork. Helen also has talent in art. An all-around good sport is Helen; however, she enjoys boys’ sports best.

EDWARD MLODOSSICH “Eddie” If you have any extra automobile parts, see “Eddie”, for collecting parts is his hobby. Besides being reliable and industrious, this lanky fellow is a good basketball player. Class Basketball (1) (2) (3). MARGARET MONDSCHEIN “Margaret” Dependability and efficiency make Margaret quite an un- usual person. This blue eyed senior is quite an able dancer. Although she is usually very serious, sometimes it is im- possible for her to chain down that hidden wittiness and when it does break free it certainly causes a riot among the girls.

LaRUE MORGAN Sparkling, happy, fun-loving “Morgan”. She is active in nearly all sports, but her favorite is basketball. Her slim figure seems to be wherever it is needed at precisely the right moment.

How- ever, one soon changes this opinion after listening to his continual chatter. Bill will argue about anything, anywhere, anytime. His chief interest is football. Class Basketball (1) (3); Forum (2); Science Cub (3). MARY NAGEL “Mary Mary has a seemingly quiet nature, but, given an oppor- tunity, she displays remarkable ability in giggling and chat- tering. Always a good student, Mary aims to be on the honor roll. Dramatic Club (1); Commercial Club (2) (3); Volley Ball (2) (3); Gym Exhibition (2); Baseball (3). WILLIAM NEIGH “Wimpy” “Wimpy’s” combination cf a laugh and a giggle can’t be equaled, either in volume or quality, in any modern high school. His leisure time in school is spent wandering around the halls or library or reporting for teachers. Out of school “Wimpy” spends his time filling cars at a gas station. forty-eight BARBARA NEUNER “Bobby” “Let’s give a Yea Team.” It’s “Bobby”, head cheerleader, before the Wilson game. Pep, vim, and vigor—“Bobby’s” cheerleading characteristics. In the senior play, she was the music teacher, “Miss Wheeler”. Warble! Warble! Not a robin or a thrush, just blue-eyed Barbara, the songbird in “The Count and the Coed.” Glee Club (1) (2), Vice President (3); Operetta (1); Music Festival (2); Dramatic Club (1), Secretary (2), Pres- ident (3); Senior Play, Major (3); Athletic Council (1) (2); Volley Ball, Manager (1); Basketball, Manager (2); Stu- dent Council (1) (3), Secretary (2); Cheerleader (1) (2), Head (3); A Cappella Choir (1) (2) (3); Blue and White Standard (1); Class Secretary (3); Baseball (31. THERESA NIKLES “Terry” A flashing smile, twinkling blue eyes, and a pleasing per- sonality make “Terry” a very popular girl.

LENA PERNA “Lena” Usually Lena’s voice matches her stature which is very small, but on special occasions she turns on “volume”- Lena has a very special interest in Bangor and the National Guard. We wonder why. Commercial Club (1) (2); Basketball (1) (2); Baseball (1). forty-nine THE COMET ALTHEA PETERS “Althea’' “Love me, Love my roller skates,” is Althea’s favorite cry. Besides her love for skating, she is also very interested in collecting stamps. Quiet, shy, and industrious she goes about doing her daily duties with a cheerful smile. Also this brown haired, brown-eyed senior is quite interested in a certain junior. Who? Um-m that would be telling. Commercial Club (1) (2). HERBERT RAFETTO “Herbie “Hey! Joe, what’a ya know?” is our efficient Comet editor’s favorite greeting to everyone. “Herbie’s” ambition is to be- come an engineer.

ADA RISSMILLER “Ada” Curly brown hair A dash of brown eyes Mix and stir well Then season with a flashing smile Presto! We have Ada.

BETTY ROTH “Coz” Giggle, giggle—is that “Coz” we hear? Laughing merrily with never a worry or a care, “Coz” drifts along. Betty, however, does have a serious side, for she can apply herself and do a good piece of work.

QUINTUS ROTZELL «Quint” If you’re looking for “Quint”, just locate Breidinger or Kelchner. This young man is an excellent baseball player; maybe that’s the reason he’s on the Belfast team. Besides sports, he does a lot of studying, for his name isn’t on the honor roll just to take up space. Scence Club (3); Baseball (3); Comet Staff (3). fifty-txvo MILLICENT RUTH “Mitzie” “Mitzie” is quiet and reserved in school, but you should hear her outside. Her ability in baseball, hockey, and bas- ketball has helped pull her team out of many tight spots. Her commendable sportsmanship and spunk have been exhibited when she captained various teams. “Mitzie’s” high scholastic standing and athletic ability should help her attain her goal of physical education instructor.

HAROLD SCHAEFER “Schaefer” “Did you do your German?” Yes, it’s Harold who wants to know why German is in the curriculum. Outside of school, he enjoys sports and goes hiking at times. His quiet manner is often times deceiving for he enjoys a good time. Gym Exhibition (1) (2) (3); Football (2). fifty-three THE COMET OLLHOFF SCHRAMM “Schrammy” “Well, this is what I think.” It’s only “Schrammy”, giv- ing his viewpoint on some question. What would Nazareth High have done without “Schrammy” as its tackle? OllhofT’s rosy cheeks are envied by all the girls. Football (2) (3); Track (1) (2) (3). KENNETH SHIFFERT “Shifty” “Shifty” has proved himself an efficient football player, and, if we look into his personal interests, we find that he’s also an excellent roller skater. His chief interest is science and his attitude toward the girls is “variety is the spice of life”. Football (3). BENJAMIN SHIMER “Ben” Bang! Bang! Yes, it’s “Ben” after those poor deer again with “shootin’ iron”. Is that the reason for his frequent visits to the office with excuses for absences? Benjamin has lit- tle interest in school except Popular Mechanics magazines that he borrows from the library. Track (3). fifty-four CHARLES SHUPP Shuppy “How about a ride?” “Shuppy” has thumbs up and so he must be hitch-hiking again.

Ho!—those deep sonorous chortles came from none other than “Dizzy”. He is one of the funniest boys in the class and is sure to bring a laugh whenever he is around. “Dizzy” is also interested in dramatics and will be remem- bered for his portrayal of Mr. Patterson in the senior play.

BESSIE SMITH “Bess” Quiet, dependable, and pleasant—that’s Bessie! Always ready, willing, and able to help someone out of a tight spot. Out of school, however, she is an all around fun-loving lassie. Skating is her favorite sport and hobby,, and she feels quite at home on ice. Besides skating and lessons, sports take up quite a space in her busy schedule. fifty-fit THE CD MET HAROLD SMITH “Snuffy” Short, blond, and handsome is “Snuffy” whose main ambi- tion is to be an airplane pilot or mechanic. Although having few outside activities, Harold has proved himself a good commercial student. This young man has little or no interest in girls except, of course, that tall brunette from Chapmans. JACOB SOFFERA “Jake” With a “Beep! Beep!” on his clarinet, “Jake” comes into view. He is interested in anything that pertains to music. Jacob’s friendliness and good nature are revealed by his cheery “Hello”. Yes, we agree that junior high has some interesting girls. Track (1) (2); Band (1) (2) (3); Glee Club (1); Com- mercial Club (1) (2) (3); Senior Play (3); Orchestra (1) (2). SHIRLEY STARK “Shirley” Here comes Shirley! Swinging nonchalantly down the hall on her way to the library. This sandy haired, blue eyed senior is quite interested in the opposite sex and her choices are as changeable as the moon. She is also fond of dancing and school work (?). Basketball (2); Hockey (2) (3); Gym Exhibition (2). fifty-six THOMAS STAUFFER Tommy” This tall, lanky fellow hails from Ohio. “Tommy’s” wavy, red hair is the envy of many of the girls. He contradicts that old saying, red hair—hot temper, for “Tommy’s” disposition is one of the sunniest. MERLIN STEED “Spokey” Roller skating or movies! It probably will be a draw. How- ever, roller skating usually comes first for “Spokey”, be- cause there’re more of those cut—well, interesting girls, at the rink. Movies, where two solid hours of comfort can be enjoyed, are next in Merlin’s line. Third is his pleasure in playing in the band. Band (1) (2) (3); Orchestra (1) (2); Track, Assistant Manager (3). ANNA STEINMETZ Steinmetz” Always a twinkle in her eye and a smile for everyone— that’s “Steinmetz”. Her greatest ambition is to become a nurse. Anna, with her good humor and cheerful disposition, should certainly be able to cheer any patient. Hockey (2); Volley ball (2); Baseball (2). fifty-seven THE COMET ELIZABETH TANSOCK “Lizzy” Giggle! Giggle! Yes, Elizabeth and Ada are giggling again. But in spite of this gay outlook on life, “Lizzy” is very studi- ous and tackles her lessons with gusts of ambition.

RANDOLPH TRACH “Randy Meet the villain of the senior play, “Randy” Trach. Where- ever there is fun, “Randy” will be there, for he is known for his keen sense of humor and his many pranks.

Basketball (1) (2) (3); Baseball (2); Volley Ball (3); Hockey (2) (3); Science Club (2); Comet Staff (3). MIRIAM WEIANT “Mim” Miriam’s humorous nature is known to few, because she is very quiet in school. Faithful to Nazareth, she shows it by attending the games and parties. Her romantic interests, however, are outside of school. Dramatic Club (1). JANE WERKHEISER “Jane” This dark-haired gal is a country lass and glad of it. Jane’s quiet, reserved nature and her interest in her work should help her reach her goal which is to be a bookkeeper. Al- though Jane is loyal to Nazareth, she has lost her heart to Easton High School. Commercial Club (1) (2) (3). THE COMET CATHERINE WERNER “Kitty” Stop! Better look twice or you’ll miss her. Small, petite, dusky-hair, and brown eyes make Catherine quite noticeable. But don’t let her size fool you, for Catherine is quite ener- getic and studious. Quiet as a mouse, she goes about doing her work cheerfully and faithfully.. “Screech! Oh you ham!” Yes, it’s Nevin teasing the girls again. This small, blond haired young man is very interested in a certain somebody from the Bethlehem Pike. Nevin is not very keen about school work, but he usually manages to get by. Class Basketball (1) (2); Commercial Club (1) (2). NEVIN WERKHEISER “Nevin” EDWARD WILLIAMS What would our football team have done without this hefty left tackle? “Stormy” is seldom seen without his two pals, “Fodder” and “Kecky”. He is well known for his pranks and his loquaciousness has cost him many an hour after school. Football (1), Varsity (2) (3); Class Basketball (1) (2) (3). sixty-two PHYLLIS YOUNG “Phil” The tall, slim, alto who represented N. H. S. in the Penn- sylvania State Educational Association for Chorus Music at Carlyle is “Phil.” Her heart was carried away by a former graduate. Nevertheless she still takes an interest in extra class activties, as is shown by her participation in various clubs. “Phil” is particularly fond of dramatics and effective- ly portrayed the competent secretary, Miss Shea, in “What A Life.” Operetta (1) (3); Music Festival (2); Glee Club (1) (2), President (3); A Cappella Choir (2) (3); Dramatic Club (1) (2); Senior Play, Major (3); Student Council (1), Treas- urer (2); Blue White Standard (2); Commercial Club (1); Basketball (1) (2) (3); Comet (3); Class Assistant Secre- tary and Treasurer (3). CHARLES DEILY “Shorty” Small but mighty—that’s Shorty”. Although he is not big, nevertheless he certainly is active. “Shorty” thought he had no dramatic ability, but his effective portrayal of Bill in the senior play disproved his contention. He is a triple- threat to have around in the “Chem. Lab”, for one never knows what is going to be broken next. But joking aside, Charles’s one ambition is to be a chemical engineer.

Science Club (2) (3). CARL VOGEL “Vogel” “Fishing is my dish,” says Carl. Not fishing for excuses, though, as Vogel has proved by “landing” nearly two hun- dred fish in a season. Although not much interested in school work, he is a good, well-mannered sport. 1941 THE CDMET The School Day Trodding along on the old sidewalk, We wend our way to school. Everyone is chock full of laughter and talk; We shove, and play, and fool. In the big wide, airy classroom Or the quiet study hall, One false move becomes our doom, And we cannot talk at all. At last our strenuous day is o’er And joy reigns supreme, For we rush headlong out the door To get a soda, or ice cream. Herbert Rafetto. sixty-four The Class Prophecy As we walked into Professor Kavcak’s office on the 103d floor of the Empire State Building, we were greeted by the Professor himself. Upon entering his “lab”, we were amazed at the sight of his latest invention, “The Time Machine”. At his invitation we hesitantly climbed in. An instant later, we were whizzing through space. It was generally agreed that, through the medium ol the fourth dimension, we would pay an unexpected visit to our former classmates. Professor Kavcak pulled a lever and slowly, like an old fashioned stereopticon, the following pictures passed before our amazed eyes: Surrounded by cackling chickens, Roy Buss was scattering grain on his large Tat- amy Poultry Farm. Edgar Kern, master of ceremonies, introduced Laura Hess and her bubble dance at the Lyric Theater, Allentown. Shirley Stark, make-up expert at the PDQ Studios, was preparing Donald Mertz for the title role in “Frankenstein’s Double”. An amplifier announced that at Donald Heckman’s Pink Elephant Cafe the added attraction was Kowalczk’s Hep Kats featuring Bessie Rocco and her violin, accompan- ied by Frances Gloss on the piano. John Beck, foreman of the Nazareth Waist Company, hurried home to meet his wife, the former Betty Lerch, who was industriously patching a pair of pants. 5:30 a. m. at Indiantown Gap: The clear notes of William Breidinger’s bugle aroused many sleepy soldiers, among whom were: Edward Mlodossich, Harold Smith, John Unger, Russell Breidinger, and Carl Vogel. Upon visiting Harold Schaefer’s Traveling Carnival, we saw the strong man, Ollhoff Schramm, and Robert Bitz, the Human Skeleton. Among the smiling faces of his kindergarten pupils, Professor Llewellyn Kromer was building a sand castle- At the head of the construction gang, we saw foreman Elwood Mann, of the WPA, reclining on a bag of cement. Flagging the cars to slower speed, stood Elton Kelchner, leaning on the cement mixer. Upon arriving at Braggs’ Stadium, we saw Charles Mikovitz, the ambitious batboy of the Detroit Tigers. At the “Skating Palace”, Ken Shiffert’s new roller skating rink, we saw Merlin Steed and Emily Moore, two skating sensations, waltzing together. With Ringling Brothers’ Circus, the fat lady was Edna Eckert, and Quintus Rotzell was the animal trainer who was trying to take the “Wild” out of William Neigh. Esther Haftle and Nevin Werkheiser were performing their dare-devil flying-trapeze act. In the side show we saw Catherine Werner hypnotically crawling around the floor, a victim of Bessie Smith’s evil eye. sixty-five THE CDMET Passing through Moorestown, we found Virginia Free, saleslady in Ruth Houser’s department store, gossiping with Dorothy Boyer, assistant clerk.

Miriam Meyer and Marie Edelman, supervisors of the 4-H Club, were conducting a tea at the church where Wilmer Fehnel was pastor. Nervously dialing his home, Robert Rinehart, Fuller Brush salesman, informed his wife, the former Ada Rissmiller, that, due to a business meeting, he would be late for dinner. At the exclusive stables owned by El wood Vogel, the three grooms, Paul Siegfried, Raymond Lindenmoyer, and Gerald Batt, anxiously watched “Doc” Hitchens give the famous horse, Sea Weed, a check-up, while his competent assistant, LaRue Morgan, manicured his hooves. Many new members had been added to the Nazareth High School faculty, among whom were Charles Shupp, the new English teacher; Pauline Karch, librarian; Milli- cent Ruth, physical education instructress; and Maryava Walker, French teacher. Assistant Coach, Edward Williams, was in a crouched position demonstrating the shoulder block to the aspirants of Muhlenberg College; Head Coach, Robert Keck, looked on. Ringing up the fare of Ruth, Edith, and Gladys Engler who were on their way to Station WEST, Easton, for their weekly musical broadcast, was Charles Deily, con- ductor of the Invincible Trolley Lines.

Whizzing overhead, a plane on which Isabella Lahr was hostess, carried Florence Drebert back to Alaska where she will resume her teaching among the Eskimos.

Herbert hastened to tell him that Jean Boerstler maintained a haven for stray animals. Theresa Nikles was professional canary trainer, while he was an inventor of sorts and showed his blue prints for his new No-Gyp” slot machine. Then Betty Roth, successor to “Baby Snooks”, reminded us that it was almost time for her program on the air. At the same instant, Professor Kavcak instructed Alex Romanishan, our chauffeur, to “step it up” in order that we might return home in time to enjoy the tasty cooking of his wife, the former Fleda Kienzle. Theresa Nikles Betty Roth Jean Boerstler Herbert Rafetto 1941 sixty-seven THE COMET IJ Class Legacy We, the members of the class of nineteen hundred forty one, of sane minds and sound bodies, do hereby will and bequeath these our last few momentoes of our cher- ished years at dear old N. H. S. 1. For the improvement and upkeep of the building and grounds: One can of Three-in-One oil for all squeaky seats and the lawn mowers. A new pencil sharpener for the library. Padded broom handles for the janitors so that they can relax in comfort while cleaning. A couple of new radiators in Rooms 17 and 27 to bring the temperature up to 68’. New and comfortable “lab” chairs. A special device to pick up paper in Room 33 so that the students won’t have to work so hard carrying the waste basket. 2. A word to the wise from the Worthy Seniors: Alarm clocks to all students who have a tardy streak. A staff of six secretaries and a larger office to Miss Nicholas. All chewing gum fiends to Miss Oakes. Come prepared with ten pencils with good points and a dozen tablets. The permit system to all schools who still enjoy freedom.

William Breidinger’s strolls in the halls during the fifteen-minute periods to nexv year’s seniors. Edgar Kern’s ability to evade homework to all students who dislike work.

Now we know we’ll have good cheering. Gerald Arnold’s janitorial equipment to Mary Ellen Rash. No more glamorizing, Mary Ellen. Lena Perna’s army ensemble to anyone interested in uniforms.

Now life will take on new meaning. Donald Mertz’s Nazi haircut to Wilbur Rennie. Hank Greenberg’s bat, owned by Charles Mikovitz, to Frank Tamandl. Now, Frank, go to town. Roy Buss’s one-man band to Merle Bauer. Look out, Mr. Reitz. Althea Peter’s silence to Geraldine Kirkpatrick or to any other student who needs it. Rose Ferraro’s executive ability to Matt Henning; also her speed. Llewellyn Kromer’s school-bag to anyone else who carries as many books as he did. Now, faculty, you’ll have some real students. “Cassanova” Marsh’s blush to Walter Hagenbuch; now you’ll really be red, Walter. LaRue Morgan’s fickleness to Anita Heyer. Clifford Rohn’s voice to Earl Jones. Shirley Taylor’s “eyes that can’t behave” to Marian Bachman- Murray Bernstein’s and Benjamin Shi trier's indoor track ability (see Miss Long) to next year’s victims. Robert Hitchen’s “canal boats” to Dwayne Young. “Ken” Shiffert’s plaid shirts to Franklin Hahn. Emily Moore’s 2149% chewing gum wrappers to Thomas Kern so that he can send for an air rifle. Charles Deily’s chemistry ability to all juniors who have trouble with physics. Betty Roth’s many hours spent after school in Room 29 to Margaret McConnell. Elton Kelchner’s “country stride” to James Diehl. Merlin Steed’s skating ability to Ruth Swavely. Harold Heckman’s attraction for girls in neighboring towns to Elwood Hayne. Gerald Batt’s curly hair to Virginia Gradwohl. No permanents needed, Virginia. William Neigh’s temper to Ralph Frantz. Paul Siegfried’s silliness to William Bennett. Pity his homeroom teacher! Elwood Mann’s “horse laugh” to Mary Heller- Raymond Lindenmoyer’s hat to Lorraine Roth. It’s already decorated and ready to wear, Lorraine. Having left these, our most prized possessions, in such “good” hands, we rest our weary bodies in peace and contentment under the spreading chestnut tree, knowing that Nazareth High School, the janitors, the faculty, and the underclassmen will soon see another class almost as good as ours.

Henn-ry Aldrich!” “Coming Mother!” Yes, it’s none other than that mischievous, lovable, and sometimes obstreperous young chap, Henry Aldrich. “What A Life” by Clifford Goldsmith was presented by the senior class on November 7 and 8 in the high school auditorium. The story concerns the troublesome life of Henry Aldrich. Together with his dif- ficulty in memorizing Roman history dates, girl trouble, frequent visits to Mr. Bradley, the principal, he has also to talk his mother out of sending him to Princeton. With never a dull moment in this busy lad’s life, the situations that he gets himself into are enough to turn anyone’s hair gray; but “All’s well that ends well”, and how he finally manages to squeeze out of his tight spots proved to make an ideal senior play enthu- siastically received by capacity audiences- CAST Miss Shea.........................................Phyllis Young Mr. Nelson Raymond Lindenmoyer Mr. Patterson.............................Paul Siegfried Miss Pike Frances Brody Bill Charles Deily Miss Eggleston .....................................Doris Hoch Miss Johnson June Kellow Mr. Vecchitto Jacob Soffera Henry Aldrich Earl Marsh Barbara Pearson..............................Laura Hess Gertie.......................................

Hallowe’en being first in line, The witches start to sing their song. Bedecked in frocks with frills quite fair Students cluster in groups so gay, Scaring the witches from their hidden lair Joking and dancing the “Nomad’s” way. After this comes the Thanksgiving affair And for many things thankful are we. Student Council’s work we are aware Gives us our dances without any fee. Back on the floor the spot light shines On those who are dancing the John Paul Jones. But alas! Hearing the eleven o’clock chimes They know they must depart to their homes. Now after November comes December With the Christmas party in full swing. If you were good, Santa will remember Just what you want him to bring. Taking a last look at our Christmas tree With lights all shiny and clear, The only regret we students can see Is the end of our social year. Phyllis Young. THE COMET Prom Hear ye! Hear ye!

As one stepped into the gym on May sixteenth, red, white, and blue streamers were seen floating across the ceiling with dignified eagles in the background lending a patriotic atmosphere to the gala scene. Against this setting the lovely long pastel gowns of the girls made a gay and enchanting picture, while the boys, dressed for the occasion, enlivened the affair with their chuckles. Strains of soft music furnished by the Nomads’ Orchestra, added greatly to the dancers’ delight on this May festival day. Games were furnished for the enjoyment of students who were not dancing. After the serving of refreshments, John Hoch, president of the junior class, ex- tended a cordial welcome to the students and faculty members while Herbert Rafetto, president of the senior class, acknowledged this welcome.

Baseball Hard-hit by the loss of seven veterans, leaving only two lettermen, Coach “Andy” Leh had a difficult problem ahead of him in selecting this year’s squad. The team, composed almost entirely of underclassmen, has a good chance of capturing the league championship. Winning three out of four league games, Nazareth’s team finished in a first place tie with Wilson. They won three victories and lost six out of the first seven games.

With the return of only five lettermen, the team worked vigorously to complete another good season. Having been exceptionally strong in running events, but below par in the field events, they won two meets out of the first four.
