We, the Class of '47, want this yearbook to serve as a key to those precious and heart-warming memories of our school days.

B., Muhlenberg College Superintendent of Nazareth Public Schools Dedication We, the Class of '47, dedicate this our yearbook to Superintendent Frederic A. Marcus, whose understanding, integrity, and sincere kindness sene as a constant asset to the welfare and development of our school system. Mr. Marcks has been associated with our public schools since 1909, when he held a teaching position. Two years later he was made principal, and in 1915 he became the supervising principal. Since 1937, Mr. Marcks has been superintendent of the Nazareth Public Schools. 14] The Nazareth Public Schools The high school gym and surrounding rooms are filled with people, buzzing with ad' miring and approving exclamations. It is the evening of the annual art exhibition. This eagerly-awaited project is one of a varied group of extra class activities carried on and supported by the Nazareth Public Schools. An efficient art program is conducted both in the elementary schools and in the high school. Home Economics and Industrial Arts are offered for high school students, and comprise two valuable phases of our educational system. Musical training is an important branch of our school curriculum. The traditional program of Christmas carols, given by the children of the elementary schools, and the popular band concert, presented by the Nazareth High School Band, are two important musical events of the school year. These are but a few of the variety of opportunities Nazareth High School extends for its students in the way of clubs and organizations. Because of this variety, the student will find at least one activity in which he is interested. The Forum Club and the Oratorical Con test offer students, interested in public speaking and current problems, a chance to use their talents. The Blue and White Standard and the senior yearbook are projects carried on by students interested in journalism and business. These are a few of the projects undertaken by the students for their enjoyment and development. Both in inter-mural and intra-mural sports activities, Nazareth Public Schools has developed a sound program of athletics. Throughout the school year, the high school gym is the scene of many and varied activities, because both boys and girls cover a care lly worked out program in physical education. Nazareth High is furnished not only with a wellequipped gymnasium, but also an athletic field with bleachers, seating 15,000 spec' tators, tennis courts, a hockey and softball field, and an outdoor play area. The elementary schools have well equipped playgrounds, and the Whitfield Building is fortunate to have a gymnasium in addition to outdoor facilities. Healthy boys and girls enjoy sports and the Nazareth Schools have satisfied this desire. The first public school house in Nazareth was built back in 1855. About 30 years later, the North Braid Street Building was erected. For a time this building housed both the elementary and grade school, but when the need for an elementary school became evident, the Fairview Building was erected. Nine years later, the Whitfield Building was started. In 1923, 176 pupils and 6 teachers moved into a new high school on Belvidere Street after the old high school had been condemned. Within six years the new high school had to be enlarged to almost one and a half times its original size. After this enlargement, seventh and eighth grades were moved into the new high school building and combined with ninth grade to form a junior high school. The North Broad Street Building remained unoccupied until 1939 when it was renovated and became an annex to the junior high school. The first class of 10 students was graduated from Nazareth High School in 1893. This year the graduating class numbers 158. Round about 1918 the commercial curriculum was added to our school program. Music came into our schools a little later. Art and sewing were added in '24, and that year also saw the introduction of Industrial Arts. Physical and Health Education were started in '27, with Mr. Leh instructing both boys and girls. Our library developed encouragingly and, in 1931, a librarian was employed. In '36 instruction in instrumental music was begun and a band was organized. One year later, Nazareth High School became accredited. In this year Mr. Marcks was made superin' tendent of the Nazareth Public Schools. Because Nazareth draws many of its students from nearby districts, the enrollment of the high school is much greater than that of the elementary and junior high schools. Our school system has developed steadily, and the teaching staff has increased naturally with the growing enrollment and enriched curriculum. ------------------------------- 15!

Every- where Les goes, Joe is sure to be with him. “Les is fond of driving his Pontiac, especially over weekends, and he never lacks passengers. Les ought to be able to drive to Bushkill Park blindfolded by now. He’s had enough experience anyway. [HI SAMUEL J. ARISTIDE, JR. Sam One can easily recognize Sam by his big smile. As Matt Rock' wood in January Thaw, Sam played a major part in making the play a success. A conscientious worker, Sam also helped the band along by serving in the color guard.

Ashey's been caught running through the hall and down the steps. Even though he hails from Christian Springs, Ashey spends a lot of time in Bath. What’s the attraction. Carr’ We know you don't work there anymore. Carl is undecided about the future. MARTHA H. BICKERT “Man This shy little lass hails from Cherry Hill. Upon further acquaintance. Mart is at times inclined to be quite talkative. She is not very studious, but manages to get her work done on time. Even though she is not an active participant. Mart is interested in sports. To be someone's private secretary is Mart's ambition. Glee Club I, 3. __________ 947 [15] MARGARET M. BITZ Bitzie “No kidding. is one of BitzieY‘ favorite phrases. How we envy that natural curly hair! Bitzie” is a commercial student from Stockcrtown, who doesn't take her school work too seriously. She spends much of her time at the skating rink at Bushkill Park, and can usually be seen with her faithful companion. Edelman. We hear your favorite subjects are English and bookkeeping. Bitzie. JANE E. BLINTON Janie Dance. Janie? is a frequent greeting to Janie. one of our accomplished dancers. Although she scares easily, she cnioys all sports, and was one of our cheerleaders. Dancing and collecting records occupy most of her spare time. At present, however, her main interest is centered in a brown-haired graduate. Her future seems rather vague to everyone.

However, her ability in sports is not limited to basketball alone, but extends to baseball and volley ball as well. Although not a bookworm, she succeeds in doing satisfactory work. Her main interest seems to be in Bethlehem. Commercial Club 1, 2, 3; Basketball I, 2, 3; Baseball 1, 2, 3. Volley Ball 2, 3; Blue and White, Typist 2, 3. Comet, Typist 3. [16} A. RAY BRONG Ray Quite talkative plus not a care in the world makes Ray one of the happy-go-lucky individuals of the senior class. Nights. Ray can be seen behind the counter at the local Y. M. C. A., holding down his so alled position. His spare time is spent in shooting pool and bowling; in both he is able to hold his own. Whatever the future holds for him, Ray is sure to be a success, for he is a hard worker on every job except school work. JAMES T. BURLEY Jimmy Small in stature, but an Iturbi at the piano gives an excellent picture of Jimmy” as everyone knows him. Although he claims school is a trying task, he always manages to do creditable work. Reading German, as it should be read, is one of his major accomplish- ments and makes him the envy of all German students. After school Jimmy plans to continue his study of music. ANNA MAE S. CARTY “McCarty” Shoot! ShootGlancing over the gym floor you'll spot our blonde bombshell urging her team to victory. McCarty” enjoys all sports, and was an efficient guard on the basketball team. She was one of the photography editors of the Comet. Happy-go- lucky and cheerful, she is sure to add to the fun wherever she is because of her ability to tell jokes.

CONDOMITTI “Frantic Another chatterbox from Room 23, Francic has a ready smile for everyone. Francie's specialty is telling the latest jokes. Much of her spare time is taken up by someone from Easton. Skating and iitterbugging at Tatamy arc Francie’s special lo%’es. Not very much interested in sports or very enthusiastic about lessons. Frances isn’t too ambitious. Baseball 3; Volley Ball 3. NORMA I. CRESSMAN “Hie Ich gehe nach Hausc. Yes, that’s Norma, one of our ex- cellent German students, conversing with some other fellow student. She is an all-round good sport and in her spare time she can be found reading a book or listening to records. Her interests in life arc having fun and going to college. Friendliness with the opposite sex and the ability to accomplish many things will help Norma in her future. Dramatic Club 1, 2, 3; Class, Secretary J. 1181 SIDNEY G. CUMBERLAND Sid “Sid” hails from Valley View Farms. He is much interested in school work and usually has his lessons prepared. His interest lies in the opposite sex, but not around here so he tells us. Either the army will have him after graduation or he will become a metal lather. A. WILLIAM DAY Bill That all his classmates look up to him is evident, for “Bill is six foot eight inches tall; and when seen with Wally, they look like Mutt and Jeff. He has helped his classmates out of many tough situations, especially in basketball. Bill's motto seems to be: How to Get In. but Not Out. of Trouble. His high light comes every day in English class. Whenever there is a roar of laughter, you usually find Bill in the middle of it. His only ambition is to find a job. Senior Play, Minor. ELSIE V. DEUTSCH Elsie At a glance, Elsie seems to be quiet and reserved, but looks arc often deceiving. She is a commercial student and did her bit as a Comet typist. Elsie is also one of Miss Botto's faithful student librarians. Her motto seems to be. Where there's a will, there's a way. This attitude should be an asset in her career.

Keeping Room 33 a lively spot is one of Al's chief accomplishments He proved his worth in sports as an outstanding lineman on this year's football team.

By the way, Eric, why. in art class, do you always try to imitate a certain crooner? Science Club 1, 2, 3, Forum Club 3. {20} HERBERT DOROZOWSKI Herbie Herbie is an amusing character at times, but he can be serious too. His interests are not wholly devoted to school, but are divided between sports and girls. Baseball, basketball, and football are all his meat. His position as end on the football team shows proof of his ability on the gridiron. Herbie finds blushing hard to overcome; maybe it's one of his innate characteristics. Football 2. 3.

ERVIN “Ervin Looking for Donald? Oh, you mean Ervin, that snappy, handsome, and loyal Bath citizen. He’s our news broadcaster in P. D. class. You should see “Ervin blush when teased about girls; he usually tries to avoid them. Ervin spends his out-of-school time working in the American Store at Bath. He doesn’t like brown noses, do you, ’’Ervin’? Comet Staff, Personality Editor 3. SARAH E. FAUST “SaruEllcn That Sari-Ellen is a good student is evident from her report card. Blonde hair, blue eyes, and a sunny disposition have won for her many friends. An out-of-town student, Sarah managed to participate in several after school activities. Writing letters to a certain sailor is one of her favorite pastimes. In the future Sarah may enter the field of aviation, for she says she would like to be a pilot.

He does not have any plans for the future, but we wonder about the interest in Bushkill Center. STERLING R. M. FEHR Sterling An ex-serviceman. Sterling has returned to Nazareth High to complete his studies and eam his diploma. While in the service of Uncle Sam. he served in the European Theater of War. He was in England, Norway. Sweden and Germany. His only interest in school is to get his work done and done correctly. This is verified by the fact that at times he is so quiet his presence isn’t known. After graduation Sterling would like to secure a job at the Guitar Factory. [24] JAMES D. FERRARO “Ferraro Hailing from Stockertown. Ferraro can be s:en driving around in his '28 Ford jalopy nights after school. Rather than study, he prefers taking part in outside activities. Although he did not participate in any of the varsity sports, he is an avid follower of the Nazareth High teams Having difficulty in keeping track of the things going on in English class.

Agnes Milkovits and Leopold Keppel [651 947 3n jlemoriam Miss Myra Druckenmiller £ On September 8, 1946, Miss Myra Druckenmiller, the principal of junior high school for the past fifteen years, passed into Life. Both as a teacher and as a principal. Miss Druckenmiller was considerate and willing to help her students. This teacher helped to mold fine character in the boys and girls who passed through her hands. The death of this well loved woman is a great loss both to students who have graduated under her guidance and to those students who were not fortunate enough to have had her as a teacher. Miss Druckenmiller came to Nazareth in 1909 and began teaching in the sixth grade of the elementary school. In 1923, when the intermediate school was organized by com' bining seventh and eighth grades in the North Broad Street Building, she was chosen principal. After the addition was built to the present high school in 1931, the seventh and eighth grades were moved to the high school building and combined with ninth grade to form the junior high school. She was elected principal of the junior high school in 1931, where she served until her death. In the fifteen year period in which she served in Nazareth Junior High School, well over a thousand students came to know and to love this teacher and principal.

Student Council Giving up much of their spare time, the Student Council members work to improve their school and fellow students. While their classmates are enjoying a football or basketball game, these nine members sacrifice their time to sell refreshments and clean up the gym or football field after an event has taken place. Under the able leadership of their president, the Student Council functioned in many fields. The Lost and Found Committee notified students of any article lost or found and kept an accurate list of such items. The duty of the Catalogue Committee was to maintain and take charge of a catalogue library of indexes to various colleges. These catalogues were made available to the students and through the Student Council, undecided seniors found suitable colleges for themselves. The Building Committee, consisted of boys and girls interested in the preserving of school property, discussed the condition of the building and arrived at conclusions of ways to improve our school. Each semester the sophomore, junior, and senior classes elect a boy and girl representative to the Student Council. All the class presidents automatically become members, making a total of nine. Officers arc nominated and presented to the student body in an assembly program. After each candidate has been introduced to the student body by individual campaign managers, everyone votes for the person who he thinks is best qualified to fit the position. Four dances were sponsored by the Student Council with the money raised from the sale of refreshments at sports events. The Thanksgiving Dance, Christmas Dance, Winter Hop. and Barn Dance were all thoroughly enjoyed by senior high school students. Refreshments were served, games provided for those not wishing to dance, and fine music for dancing presented. The aim and accomplishments of the Student Council have tended toward the promotion of a spirit of cooperation among students and a fine attitude toward the school. Miss Florence L. Nicholas is faculty adviser to the group. OFFICERS First Semester President..................... Vice President................ Secretary-Treasurer. .......

[78] The Blue and fVhite Standard “But the work’s gotta be in; it goes to the printer tonight!” This is a sincere and worried plea, expressed time and time again by the sweating Blue and White Staff just before the school paper “comes out.” But eventually the work is completed. This year the Blue and White Standard capped third place honors in the nation' wide competition among newspapers of senior high schools, with enrollments of 300 to 750 pupils. The Columbia Scholastic Press Association is the sponsor. Both the school and the Blue and White Staff is proud of this recognition. Our school paper was also awarded third place in the annual contest sponsored by the Pennsylvania School Press Association. There is more to publishing a school newspaper than meets the eye. Terms such as “proof-reading,” “head-lining, and “dummy may be mere lingo to some, but to the editorial staff it means work and often times headaches. But it's fun. Fun for the staff to produce, and fun for the student body to read. The publication is bi-weekly. STAFF CoEditors: Joanne Unangst, Caroline Ursprung, Jean Searlcs.

This idea was carried out by the presentation of various programs arranged by a special committee. The club, under the direction of Mrs. Evelyn Weaver, met on the first Tuesday of each month. Among the programs presented was a discussion of Rider College and the courses of study it offers presented by Miss Belva Saricks. That a good personal appearance is of great value was demonstrated by a skit on good posture. The actual operation of a bus- iness concern was observed through a tour of the C. F. Martin Co. Guitar Factory. Social activities were not overlooked by the club. The members enjoyed a Christmas party and a picnic at Nazareth Borough Park in June. President. . . . Vice President Secretary......

Science Club For the first time the Science Club, represented by five members and the faculty adviser, took part in a Science Congress held at Allentown High School on March 19. While there they gave a demonstration entitled “Cooking and Heating by Induction.” To perform this experiment a specially constructed coil was used. The purpose of the Science Club is to enable students to use the facilities of the school to help further their knowledge of the sciences. The Club, which is advised by Mr. Franklyn Kostenbader, meets in the laboratory the last Wednesday of each month. At each meeting a picked committee of two or three members performs and discusses an experiment in some branch of physics or chemistry. {81} 947 Forum Club And so, fellow citizens, if you want labor unions to continue exercising their crippling influence, if you want to witness a hopeless sky-rocketing of taxes, then vote the Demo- cratic ticket! On November 4,1946, these unforgetable words were delivered by Robert Leh, who left no doubts in the minds of the audience concerning which party he favored. But Catherine Edelman, a staunch Democratic supporter, presented equally forceful arguments, and before long, the auditorium was seething with conflicting political en- thusiasm. Samuel Aristide favored the Republicans and upheld the opinions of Robert Leh, while Franklin Kessler, completely sold on the Democratic party, voiced reasons for his choice. The political rally was a success. The Forum Club, under the supervision of Mr. Paul Goulding, meets on the fourth Friday of each month. At these monthly get-togethers, the members discuss subjects aimed at helping them to improve their public speaking and oral reading. On February 7, 1947, Roberta Millheim, Charmaine Hutchison, and Clara Redline told the club of their experiences at the Week-end Work Camp, located in Philadelphia. To encourage the development and expression of student opinion” is the aim of the Forum Club.

Sponsored by the Alumni Association, it was coached by Mr. Paul Goulding. Sarah Faust spoke on the topic, “Why Must We?“ in connection with the prejudice against Japanese Americans in this country. Bernhard Mittemeyer spoke vigorously on “Whither America,” stressing the kind of individual citizen this country needs to make democracy thrive. Robert Leh emphasized the prevention of a depression in his talk entitled “The Vanishing American Dollar. Pauline Kenyon presented a vivid picture of the millions of people starving in Europe in her topic, “Mom, I m Hungry. George Wolfer encouraged the conservation of natural resources in the United States in his talk, Things Can't Last Forever. After the speakers delivered their speeches. Attorney Walter Peters, the judge, presented the first prize to Bernhard Mittemeyer and the second prize to Pauline Kenyon. In m;iking his decision, Mr. Peters took into consideration the manner of delivery and the contents of the speech. {831 947 Band Personnel CLARINET FLUTE AND PICCOLO Anna Mac Carty Irene Hagenbuch John Dusinski Lorene Kenyon Doris Eberts Joanne Engler Mildred Fifield Elizabeth Frantz Charles Knccht HORNS John Ambrose Raymond Neuner Warren Zerfass Haven Knccht PERCUSSION William Konrad Betty Fehr Robert Leh John Gilbert Don Peterson Joan Rumsey John Todora Shirley Yost Jean Young Richard Rupert Louise Smith Luella Smith Ruth Stetler Robert Tomino Walter Wunderly CORNET AND TRUMPET James Eyer Linford Fehnel Marion Fraclc Robert Frack Reuben Heller Robert Hoffman Russell Kindt Earl Reese Bruce Reimer Theodore Schafer John Unangst TROMBONE Bernice Hagenbuch Donald Happel Asher Reese David Reimer Virginia Schlamb Frederick Smith SAXAPHONE Donald Koehler BARITONE Ralph Houser William Kleintop.

Its purpose was to give students an opportunity to learn more about and demonstrate their ability in acting, stage managing, costuming, and make-up. In order to better appreciate dramatics, the group attended plays at Cedar Crest and Lafayette Colleges. The Nazareth Hi Playhouse also presented a play entitled “The Christmas Rose” for the Christmas assembly. Officers for the year included Kathryn Heller, president; Joyce Trach, secretary; Heber Graver, treasurer; Elizabeth Ziegler, assistant secretary and treasurer. Miss Unangst is the adviser of this club. Girls' Glee Club The Girls' Glee Club, under the direction of Mrs. Mary I. M. Hand, presented two numbers at the Christmas assembly on December 20, 1946.

At the bi-monthly meetings, members discussed the parts of the camera and their uses and the composition of pictures. They also took pictures, using various cameras, and experimented with the developing and printing of them. Some students developed an interest in advanced methods of picture reproductions. This introduction to photography will enable these students to continue this hobby.

The red rose, the senior class flower, was cleverly combined with red and white streamers to decorate the gym. The girls' evening dresses added to the colorful effect. Games were provided for those who did not wish to dance. The dancers gathered in the lunch room during intermission and enjoyed refreshments served buffet style from tables gaily decorated with spring flowers. PROM COMMITTEES Entertainment: Betty Miksch.

[90] Social Activities Because successful social activities in a school are needed to help the students develop into well-rounded individuals, Nazareth High School has made sure the social life of its students is not neglected. The Sophomore Party, the series of dances sponsored by the Student Council, and the Prom fill this need. Golden cornstalks, weird, black witches, and illuminated hallowe'en masks lent atmosphere to the initial social event of the school year—the Sophomore Hallowe'en Party. During the first part of the evening the students took part in group games. After refreshments had been served, the scene changed, and the young people danced to the music of Reuben Heller and his orchestra. The Student Council sponsored a series of four successful and informal dances through- out the year. These dances are open to sophomores, juniors, and seniors, and are very popular among the students. White and red corn cobs contrasted against deep green, provided an effective background for the Thanksgiving Dance. At the Christmas Dance, two beautifully decorated Christmas trees, and holiday greens spread throughout the gym, put everyone into a festive mood. Much to the delight of the students, Santa himself made an unexpected appearance and added to his popularity by distributing sweets. After the intermission, during which refreshments were served, all those present joined in singing Christmas Carols. The group singing was led by our Brass Choir. Reuben Heller's Orchestra furnished the music for both the Christmas and Thanksgiving dances. The Winter Hop came next in our series of dances. Reigning supreme over this gala affair, good-natured snowmen smiled down from their lofty perches above the baskets, on the merry scene below. Fitting in with the scheme of things were crystal icicles and winter greens. Students danced to the changing tempo of the Nomads Orchestra. Nazareth High completed its social season with a good old bam dance. Girls, dressed in fetching cotton frocks, danced merrily around the gym with their hill-billy partners clad in blue dungarees and flashy shirts. The Nomads Orchestra provided peppy music for the square sets and folk dances and kept the crowd stepping. Bunches of straw and old- fashioned lanterns added to the originality of the dance and helped to make it a success! [911 947 Football Team This year's football team, winning all but two games, lived up to everyone's expecta- tions, especially as they defeated our arch-rival, the powerful Wilson squad by a high score. Giptain Hildenbrand led his charges through six victories, but the team lost the all- important Bangor game. The heavy, charging line, and light, fast hackfield formed an almost unbeatable combination. The punting, passing, and place-kicking was extra- ordinary, and 50 yard punts, 40 yard passes, and 50 yard kick-offs were expected in most of the games. Although the team won no championships, they played their best, and the games were all interesting. 1946 KH.S. Obb. 1946 KH.S. Obb.

Varsity Basketball After losing the first three games, our haskethall team went into the league game schedule and came out in a tie for first place in the middle of the season. However, we were defeated in the playoffs; but we came back the second half, a determined and revengeful team. Although the scores don't show it. the team played its best to the very end. Captain Kromer. with his stars. Marlyn Roth and Dick” Ueberroth, scored a great many points. Roth was elected to the league all-star championship team. The alumni game was the last one. and the high school won it by a high score. 1946-1947 Dec. 11 Dec. 13 ... Palmerton . Whitehall . N-H.S. Opp. 21 53 22 54 Dec. 17 26 28 Dec. 20 .. ..

The team started the year with the Lehigh Northampton County League Championship, defended it, and this year's squad will try to pass it on. In the play off game, Nazareth won the league championship from Hellertown. As league champions, Nazareth played Bethlehem in the District 11 playoff and was defeated. The pitching was excellent. In the first game with East Stroudsburg, Nardella, whose record was 4 wins and 1 loss, struck out 23 and gave only 1 hit. In the Wilson game, Hanner, whose record was 4 wins and 2 losses, homered to score the only run, thereby winning his own game. 1946 KH.S. Opp. April 16 . . .
