Nazareth Area High School - Comet Yearbook (Nazareth, PA)

First High School erected in 1884—North Broad Street If in future years today ' s high school students leaf thru the pages of the Comet and recall with pleas¬ ure incidents and events of by-gone days, the staff will feel repaid for their months of labor spent record¬ ing the activities of this school year. We have tried to recall for our parents their high school life and to contrast it with ours as we have experienced it. We feel that our theme of Then and Now is particularly fitting in this the 200th year of the Bicenten¬ nial of Columbia University, since their theme of Man ' s right to Knowledge and the free use there¬ of also shows our town ' s struggle and attempt to broaden and enrich our educational offerings and to make them available to a larger area of our population. This struggle for knowledge is evi¬ denced by the progress made in our changed and enlarged educational facilities from our parents ' day to our day. Part of our present High School first occupied in 1923—Belvidere Street Pages Administration and Faculty. 4-8 Classes. 10-32 Curriculum . 34-48 Sports. 50-68 Activities and Clubs. 70-93 Advertisements . 94-104 2 mm : 3 —mrrcn

Unangst, Nazareth Back in the spring of 1950, the Nazareth Area Joint High School Board came into existence after an agreement had been approved and signed between representatives of Nazareth Borough, Bushkill Town¬ ship, Lower Nazareth Township, Stockertown Borough, Tatamy Borough, and Upper Nazareth Township. The primary purpose in forming the Joint Board was to provide by co-operative effort more and bet¬ ter secondary school facilities for the students in this area. Planning for a new high school building was be¬ gun almost immediately after the formation of the jointure and, thru the splendid co-operative efforts of the various districts of the jointure, the results of that planning are being realized in the building pres¬ ently being erected. y Ju za n lIt -- y irc(t yoln tScli ool ddoard Bushkill Township Vincent Altemose Robert E.
