F. MARTIN GUITAR FACTORY NAZARETH BORO Dating back to 1740, Nazareth, the earliest settled of the Joint Area Districts, extends over an area of 1.7 square miles with a population of 5810. From this district come 184 of the 475 students attending the Area Senior High School. Industries are varied, including milling, steel fabrication, and the manufacture of cement, paper boxes, textile products, and musical instruments. Back in 1859 a German craftsman, C. F. Martin, began the manu- facture of quality guitars. The successor to this early craftsman is the present C. F. Martin and Company, which produces monthly between 1000 and 1200 guitars and fretted, stringed musical instruments. These instruments are shipped all over the United States, to Canada, and as far as Hawaii. ADMINISTRATION FACULTY NAZARETH AREA JOINT SCHOOL COMMITTEE Sealed: C. J.

Weinerth Mrs. Marguerite Thomas Superintendent Marcks studies a report When the Nazareth Area Joint High School was formed in June, 1950, by agreement between six districts, Mr. Marcks, serving as superintendent of the Nazareth Borough District, the only district of the third class in the Jointure, became the chief administrative and supervisory officer of the joint school. In this position he serves in much the same capacity relative to the high school as he did before the formation of the Jointure. As chief executive officer of the Joint Board, he advises the board in matters relative to the teaching staff, courses of study, selection of textbooks, purchase of supplies, employment of non-professional personnel, etc. In the building program presently under way, he serves as adviser to the board in all matters pertain- ing to the program. He coordinates the contributions of the professional staff, and works closely with the architect, the Department of Public Instruction of the state and other agencies, in an effort to make the new senior high school building a truly functional building for a type of educational program best suited to this community. As principal of the Joint Area High School, Mr. Graver emphasizes that under the jointure the Nazareth Area Senior High School is the high school of all the districts and of all the students. This spirit of cooperation is now evident in the planning for the new area senior high school.

This section, where the Penn-Dixie Cement Corporation is located, is engaged largely in the manufacture of cement. In September of 1926, with the merger of three cement plants — Dexter, Penn Allen, and Pennsylvania — the Penn-Dixie Cement Corporation came into existence. At the present time this corporation employs 591 men and produces 3,840,000 barrels of cement annually. ACTIVITIES CLUBS CURRICULUM Bands and Cheering Political Republican band plays for Eisenhower Charles Searock represents the Republican candidate Students Enliven Rally Democratic band, parades for Stevenson Wayne Nottle speaks for Stevenson As part of the social studies program last fall, both the Demo- cratic and Republican candidates and their platforms were discussed in P. D. and American history classes. By November students had become acquainted with the backgrounds of the candidates and the issues at stake. Then as a climax to several weeks of discussion, the entire student body participated in a polit- ical rally in the gym on November 3. Both the Republican and the Democratic parties had speakers representing their nominees — Stevenson and Sparkman for the Democrats and Eisenhower and Nixon for the Republicans. Student enthusiasm for their candidates was highlighted with bands, par- ades, and much fanfare by the student body. Finally on election day, Nov- ember 4, a polling place was set up and manned by a student election board with students voting for the candidates of their choice. Nazareth Area High School, true to town tradition, went Democratic with the final tally of 233 votes for Stevenson and 205 for Eisenhower. Students cast ballots Gaining Knowledge 1.

As a parr of the school health program, each student is given a thorough medical and dental examination every other year. This health examination lays the foundation for remedial health work throughout the school year. An additional health service to the student is a periodic chest X-ray. Prior to each season of parti- cipation, candidates for sports — football, basketball, wrestling, baseball, and track — are given a special examination by the school medical inspector. Games and Dancing Featured in Noon Activity Program Kin ■ rr , 'T'lffir m l- At noon students enjoy reading in our well-equipped library Boys sharpen up for coming ping-pong tournament Dancers jitterbug to the music of the Stardreamers At the beginning of the second year of noon- activities the student cry was “More games! More games! And so each Monday, Tuesday, and Thurs- day noon the game-minded students enjoy ping-pong, checkers, quoits, and cards in the bandroom and basketball in the gym. For those not wishing to participate in games, the library is open for reading. For students interested in dancing, our own Lehigh Valley Playboys provide the music for squaie dancing on Wednesday; our Stardreamers, for modern dancing on Friday. The noon-activities are shared by both out-of- town and town students and are in charge of Mr. Hughes. A rebound is taken after a basketball shot is missed 19 Student Council Plans Social Activities and Helps With Noon Program Selected by the student body to represent them in planning and super- vising school activities, the Student Council, composed of twenty-eight mem- bers, meets each Monday during the eighth period. The Council held dances — both mod- ern and square — at Hallowe’en, Thanks- giving, Christmas, Valentine’s Day, and a Spring Hop during the past year; managed the noon-activities program; chose various assemblies; and supervised the refreshment stand during the football season. Each month the Council selects the “Boy of the Month” to represent the school as a guest at a Lions Club dinner meeting. Mr. Hughes and Mr. Felver are the Council advisers. 1.

Guidance Program Includes Conferences, Tests, and Office Visitation At the present time each of the senior high school classes has its own guidance counselor: the seniors, Mrs. McGonigle; the juniors, Mr. Hughes; and the sophomores, Mr. Felver. Throughout the year students who have problems or difficulties may interview the guidance counselors for help. Frequently these interviews enable students to im- prove their weak and develop their strong points. As a special service to the students, the Nazareth Rotary Club is instrumental in securing speakers for vocational con- ferences in the areas of student choice. Scheduled during school time, these con- ferences cover the nature, preparation, and advantages of various vocations. Besides these career conferences, students are given an opportunity to take Vocational Aptitude Tests ad- ministered by a vocational counselor from the State Employment office at Easton, Pa. Through the cooperation of four local business sponsors — Penn Dixie and Lone Star Cement Companies and Nazareth National Bank and Trust Company and the Second National Bank — each of the fifty- seven senior commercial students has had an opportunity to observe the operation of business in an office. Before proceeding with the office visitation program, each businessgroup took the students to lunch. In the play, Custer’s Last Sit, father is mistaken for a burglar Dramatic Clubs Exchange Programs and Attend Plays DRAMATIC CLUB This year there are two Dramatic Clubs with an approximate membership of forty. Mrs. Zell’s club meets each Tues- day, Wednesday, and Thursday, while Miss Bryan’s club meets only on Wednesday of each week. Several of the seven plays produced this year were used as exchange programs with Pen Argyl, Bangor, and Wilson High Schools. Besides producing plays the Club mem- bers have had the opportunity of attending the Drawing Room Theater in Bethlehem and dress rehearsals of Lafayette College plays in Easton.

In order to have the stage prepared for the numerous productions, students relinquish many of their study halls, and, when necessary, remain after school to work. Since the auditorium is used by both junior and senior high schools, a quick change of scenery is frequently necessary. 'I'his year the Stagecraft Club arranged the stage for seven Dramatic Club plays. Several members accompanied the Dram- atic Club on their exchange programs to operate the lighting, curtains, and sound effects at Pen Argyl, Bangor, and Wilson High Schools. Miss Jean Clute is the club adviser.

Before the holidays the twenty- seven members made small decorative Christmas trees from green cellophane paper. For their other projects they crocheted scatter rugs, braided belts and key chains of plastic craft-strip, wove baskets of reed and raffia, and made shell-craft pins and ear- rings.

DANCING CLUB During eighth period on Wednesdays the seventy-five members of the dancing club learn new steps and endeavor to improve their dancing under the direction of Mrs. Phyllis Bush, an outside instructor. KNITTING CLUB Under the supervision of Mrs. Metz and Mrs. Bleiler, the nineteen-member Knitting Club meets each Tuesday and Thursday during activity periods to learn to knit, to purl, and to pick up dropped stitches.

Their articles are displayed at the annual Art Exhibition in May. 26 Provide Pleasure School Routine FIRST AID CLUB During the eighth period every Wednes- day the thirteen members of the First Aid Club are given instruction in the standard Red Cross First Aid Course. In addition to learning how to prevent accidents, they learn proper bandaging, how to perform artificial respiration, and the approved first aid treatment for severe bleeding, fractures, and common emergencies. After completing the course, they take a test for their First Aid Certi- ficates. AGRICULTURE CLUB The fifteen-member Agriculture Club meets each Tuesday. Taking charge of meetings, individual members discuss vari- ous topics: growing potatoes and apples, grading eggs, testing soil, and studying insect pests. AERONAUTICS CLUB The twenty-one members of Aero- nautics Club meet every Tuesday during activity period to study flying in general and the structure and mechanics of air- planes. In connection with learning more about the occupational possibilities of this field, the Club made a trip to the Allen- town-Bethlehem-Easton Airport to get acquainted with the opportunities and qualifications of various types of work in aeronautics. Flying model airplanes and displaying them during Club period helped students learn more about types of planes. The members also investigated the courses offered by different aeronautic schools. In First Aid the chib members observe Ella Ann Messinger apply artificial respiration to Joanne Roberts Roy Fabian and Larry Shoemaker grade eggs in Agriculture Club Aeronautic Club members use flight maps to study navigation 27 Mr. Kostenbader applies make-up to Shirley Turner Early in September when Mr. Kostenbader announced tryouts for the senior play, Jenny Kissed Me, approxi- mately twenty-five seniors responded to the call. As soon as the cast was chosen, rehearsals began. While the cast was busy rehearsing, the business staff snapped into action promoting the sale of tickets and the other committees began work on stage properties and getting costumes. Since the net proceeds of this project helps finance the senior trip to New York City in June, every senior helped by selling tickets, ushering, or serving on one of the various committees.

Finally, much against Father’s wishes, Jenny arrives. After plain Jenny has lived at the rectory only two months, Father Moynihan decides her appearance needs to be improved. In order to make her more attractive, Owen Parkside, son of a prominent busi- ness man, offers a few helpful sugges- tions. Soon Owen and Jenny are dating regularly and many problems arise involving everyone at the rectory. During this time Michael Saunders, a thirty-four year old bachelor, has secretly fallen in love with Jenny. Now that Owen started courting Jenny, Michael’s jealousy is aroused. As Michael finally realized he loves Jenny, he goes for a marriage license despite Father Moynihan’s objections. CAST OF CHARACTERS Father Moynihan ......... Michael Saunders.........

Standing: Miss Margaret Paul Teeming with activity during eighth periods, the Blue and White staff, the largest ever, prepares the eight issues of the school paper. While each issue is in preparation, reporters dash about the building to gather news items. The editorial staff writes, and then the editors revise the material, while the typists prepare it for the printer. After the galley sheets are re- turned from the printer, the staff proofs, cuts, and pastes articles on a dummy to be sent back to the printer. From this point on the presses roll off the completed issues. Under the direction of J. Frederic Knecht and Quentin Zell the following students are proofreading articles: Graver, Fischl, Gilio, Geider, Magditch, Frey, Recker, Nordoi, Dashner, Barnhart, Sandt, Abel, Male, C. Kostenbader, Hertzog, Ueidenwolf, Matthias, Elkins, Kraemer, Gruver, Eckert, Mitman, Diehl, l.auffer, Ish. Potts, and Hartzell. Produces Standard Under the supervision of Mrs. Graver, the following typists prepare copy: Hahn, Stranzel, Traupman, Nagle, and Yandrisevits The business staff handles the distribution of the Blue and White to students and prepares the mailing list to outsiders who enjoy reading the school paper. In the issues this year more pictures have added interest to the articles. Again this year the Blue and White placed third in both the Columbia Scholastic and the Penn- sylvania School Press Association Contests. Mr. J. Frederic Knecht and Mr. Quentin Zell are faculty advisers of the publication.

Then a member of the layout staff asks, “Is this going to he a double spread?” “I’d like to know what happened to that football writeup I was working on?” chimes in a sports writer. All these questions indicate another Comet Staff activity period. As a theme for the 1953 annual, the staff chose the six district area — Bushkill Township, Lower Nazareth Township, Naza- reth Borough, Stockertown Borough, Tatamy Borough, and Upper Nazareth Township — comprising the Nazareth Area High School. Choosing representative industries from each district, the artists went to work sketching various ideas for the divider pages and end sheets. Meanwhile the layout group planned what pictures were to be taken to depict the over- all picture of the year’s happenings at Nazareth Area Senior High School. Then they set up the schedule for the photographer. As soon as the pictures were taken, they began work on layouts. Chooses Area for Theme First Roto: Scrfass, Mitch, Milhtirn, Mackes Second Row: Meixsell, Peters, King- caul, Smith TYPISTS Soliciting ads from the local business people and supervising the selling campaign for the book kept the business staff busy from September until March.

The maneuvers and intricate steps in these dances were original interpretations developed by Mr. Wein- hofer, director, for the Nazareth Area High School Band. Followed by fifteen high-stepping majorettes and five snappy color bearers, the flashy drum major, LaMar Bush, led the fifty-four precise-marching instrumen- talists. The majorettes not only performed with the march- ing band but also added zest to the Spring Concert by giving a zippy interpretation of the Mexican Hat Dance. Delores Houser, a sophomore, represented the Area High School at the Eastern All-State Band Concert in Sayre, Pennsylvania, on February 5, 6, and 7. Delores Houser STATE BAND MEMBER Area Music Activities Varied Participating in the Eastern District Band Festival at Central Catholic High School, Allentown, on March 11, 12, and 13 were Patricia Roth, Connie Toth, Doris Graver, Dallas Yeakel, Delores Houser, and Corinne Gold.

XRRV SfXIORCUSSPUV Nimk warn i MR BARRY'S . X ETCHINGS V a NOV 8-9 '£ Senior high school posters displayed In the senior high school ex- hibition all phases of the fine- arts were included — painting por- traits, landscapes, and posters in oils, pastels, water colors, pen and ink, and poster paints. In the crafts, students were interested primarily in making ceramics — pottery, lamp bases — and metal tooling. Besides this, students demon- strated their work in illustrations, modeling clay, painting portraits in oils, drawing from still life, and working with metals. An unusual feature of the ex- hibit was a display of work done by Don Peterson, a graduate of Nazareth High School and now a student at Syracuse University. Many of his cartoons and posters on display had been used as cover designs and illustrations for his college magazine, The Syracusian. Don Peterson exhibits college art work 45 May Fashion Show 1.

Highlights Student Work At the annual May Fashion Show, An Afternoon Tea, the girls modeled their pajamas, housecoats, sportswear, school dresses, skirts and blouses, suits for traveling and shopping, and dresses for afternoon wear. The Fashion Show was presented in the high school audi- torium on May 29, 1952, as part of the Arts Exhibition. Jackie Hartman, modeling her afternoon dress, takes her dog for a stroll. In their Sewing classes the senior high school girls studied different types of material, learned to assemble patterns and cut material, and the actual sewing of wearing apparel. Besides this, they learned through prac- tice the art of applying make-up, and how to groom their hair and nails. 47 Tnnos and Price cut a board with the circular saw Herd watches Price work on the lathe Students Exhibit Woodwork Projects In order to develop a worth-while hobby or as a preparation for a vocation, many boys elect the Industrial Arts Course. The projects the boys choose may vary considerably in size, shape, and design. These future handymen have proved themselves adept in the use of tools and equipment and have made commendable pieces of furniture. Art Exhibition visitors examine shop projects KEYSTONE DEHYDRATING COMPANY BUSHKILL AND LOWER NAZARETH TOWNSHIPS With an area of 37.9 square miles, Bushkill and Lower Nazareth Townships are more than three times the size of all the other Districts of the Jointure combined. These two townships have a total population of 3389 and an enrollment of 119 students in the Area Senior High School. In this area, devoted largely to farming, is located the Keystone Dehydrating Plant which produces, besides pharmaceuticals, eight thousand tons of alfalfa meal and one thousand tons of corn annually. The National Cement Company is another industry located in Lower Nazareth.

Then after twenty-five successive games without defeat, they were upset by an aggressive Emmaus squad, which was the last team to top Nazareth before their undefeated streak began back in 1949. WHITEHALL Although the first quarter wasn’t too con- vincing, the second game was proof that the team wanted to carry the ball through another un- blemished season. Herd turned the battle tide in the second quarter with an intercepted lateral and a quick touchdown. A persistent Nazareth squad scored two more touchdowns in the second half for a 19-0 victor}-. VARSITY SQUAD — First Rear: Herd, Hinder, Williamson, Happcl, D. Roth Second Row: Schrammcl, Jurasits, Weaver, Kochcr, Nikles, Sleeman Third Row: Keck, J. Roth. Hagcnhuch, Rush, C. Wagner, E. Wagner, Coach Lch NESQUEHONING The Blue Eagles, hoping to start the ’52 season successfully, faced a stubborn Nesque- honing eleven. Senneca scored on a long run while Meixscll scored on a brilliant defensive play by blocking a punt, picking up the ball, and running into the end zone for a touchdown. Mengel converted both placements and netted Nazareth a close 14-13 victory. COPLAY The first league game gave Coach Lch a chance to see what his reserves looked like, for the second quarter ended with Nazareth holding a commanding lead. Rissmiller, Senneca, and Metz shared scoring honors as Nazareth chalked up their 23rd consecutive undefeated game with a 52-0 score. Mularick breaks through for yardage Mula rick and Meixsell move in to tackle a Wilson back PEN ARGYL The Pen Argyl game took the Blue Eagles on their first road trip. They fumbled twice in the first quarter, but they bounced back with Rissmiller scoring four times and Mengel con- verted twice for an impressive 26-7 Nazareth victory. BANGOR Nazareth, at home, met an old rival, Bangor, who tied Nazareth by a 13-13 score in ’51. The Eagles were up for the Slate Belt boys. In the second period Ferraro passed to Mengel for seven yards for the only score, as Nazareth went their merry way with a 7-0 win. This was the 25th straight victory. EMMAUS All good things must come to an end, and that’s exactly what happened when Nazareth traveled to Emmaus. Emmaus drew blood when Houseknecht passed for a TD, but failed to con- vert the extra point. Nazareth quickly scored with Rissmiller bulling his way over. Mengel converted and put the Blue Eagles out in front 7-6. This score remained until the fourth quarter when Houseknecht, with five minutes left, kicked a field goal from a difficult angle to win for Emmaus 9-7. Rissmiller brought down by two U'arriors Led by Herd, Rissmiller returns kickoff against Wilson EAST STROUDSBURG Nazareth, trying to rebound against a power- ful East Stroudsburg team, led 14-7 until the fourth quarter, only to be downed by three East Stroudsburg touchdowns to lose the game 27-14. Ferraro, with accurate passing and Riss- miller with all-round play, kept Nazareth ahead in the first half. WILSON After resting ten days, the Leh lads went to Easton with high spirits. A victory over Wilson would make the season successful. Nazareth received the kick-off and after three attempts decided to punt on fourth down. Wagner took the punt and ran back 70 yards for a touchdown. Wilson scored again in the Senneca breaks into the open for his 70 yard run against Wilson J. V. SQUAD First Row: I. an bach.

Mengel missed the extra point, resulting in a 13-6 score. Lesher’s power scored twice to win 27-6. The Blue Eagles, playing only 8 games, had 5 victories and 3 losses. The first 5 games were won, extending the 20 game streak to 25 consecu- tive games without defeat. This is a record that will stand unblemished for a long time in the annals of Nazareth Area High School. 1952 — J. V. SCHEDULE OPP. N.H.S.

Placing third in both halves of league play, Nazareth also established a new individual high scoring record for one game, 94 points, against Pen Argyl on the home court. The cagers showed a never-die spirit and plenty of hustle which earned them upsets over Parkland and Coplay. Their untiring efforts also resulted in victories over every league team except Wilson.

At the conclusion of the regular season, the District Meet was held to determine the best wrestler in each of the eleven weight classes. Nazareth had two district champs — Harold Wilson in the 105 and his brother John Wilson in the 135 pound weight class. Losing in the finals, William Daney and Richard Hooper placed second in the 122 and 187 pound weight classes. After tying a league record of pinning eight opponents in ten matches and breaking a school record by registering an eight-second pin, un- defeated Harold Wilson beat Gaines of Easton 8-1 in the final round to gain his crown. John Wilson, who was one of the four wrestlers to win all ten bouts in one weight class, bested Laury of Northampton 7-0. In the regional finals Harold Wilson placed second when he lost a referee’s decision to the defending regional champion, Zikowski of King- ston, after the score had been knotted 6-6. John Wilson also placed second when he lost in the final 3-2 to Courser of Forty Fort. 58 Their Way to District Titles 1952-53 WRESTLING SCHEDULE OPP. N.H.S.

Six of these victories were conflicts in an eight-game league schedule with Nazareth finishing second in a highly competitive nine-team league. The most outstanding game of the season for Coach Leh’s diamond per- formers was the Nazareth-East Strouds- burg tilt. In this game N.H.S. beat, by an 8-7 score, favored East Stroudsburg and the previously unbeaten Ray Steele, who had been scouted at every game by the big league scouts. Because of the large number of under- classmen on the 1952 squad, the prospects are bright for the 1953 baseball season. 1952 SCHEDULE April 9 Whitehall OI’P. 9 N.H.S. 7 April 16 Pen Argyl 5 4 April 18 Bangor 10 16 April 22 Parkland 9 2 April 24 Hellertown 0 4 April 30 Bangor 9 10 M ay 2 East Stroudsburg 7 8 M ay 6 Wilson 7 15 May 9 Pen Argvl 6 5 May 13 Coplay 4 5 May 16 Phillipsburg 3 2 May 20 Fountain Hill.. . . 2 11 First Row: Scarock, Werkhciscr, Fox.
