For high school students throughout the land our Atomic Age holds a challenge — atomic powered spaceships, life expectancies of 140, and WORLD PEACE — all are awaiting the explorations of today’s youth. Whether it be the Wilson football game, the Junior-Senior Prom, or a day in English or chemistry class — all these have contributed to our development and education. XV .

As the senior high school principal, Mr. Benfield supervises the entire school pro- gram-curriculum, activities, and building.

Commission HEAD OF ATOMIC COMMISSION As Head of Our Atomic Commission, Mr. Herbert F. Cobley, the chief administrator and supervisory officer of the joint schools, is responsible to the joint board for a well- coordinated program of Education in the Area Senior High School.

This starts a chain reaction by means of which the student learns to think out and to expand his own ideas. I . ‘ V '' ' y ■ ' Social Science Department Because 1956 was a presidential election year, the Social Science Department sponsored Demo- cratic and Republican campaign rallies as assembly programs. Speeches, band music, skits, and parades were featured during each political rally. In planning and carrying out these rallies, stu- dents became acquainted with the campaign issues Speaking for the Republican party, Arthur Miller arouses the student body. Representing the Democratic presidential nominee, Labert Altemosc gains support for his party. During the Democratic rally, social studies students put on a skit. 34 Sponsors Mock Election A banner parade stimulates student political interest during assembly. and learned good election citizenship.

One entanglement lead to another and Adam found himself caught in his own lies. To make things worse, the maid is a black-mailer; the family doctor is a jealous lover; a dead man is alive; and a suicide maniac turns up. The resulting complications provided a raft of excitement and the clever lines evoked much audience merriment.

Plant Personnel Enjoy Evening In Paris” Atomic Plant Standing: Robert Lichner, Miss Clute — Adviser Seated: Joanne Nissley ART STAFF Published as the Atomic Power Plant’s annual report, The Comet — Nazareth Area Senior High School’s yearbook - presents a pictorial and written record of the events of the school year. Featuring not only activities carried on during plant or school hours, but also extra curricular activities, the Comet clearly outlines the steps in our power production processes. Directing the atomic plant is the administration, our Atomic Energy Commission. Working under the AEC is the faculty or production crew of the plant. From six school districts come 436 students whose energy and talent is being channeled and developed thru the school’s cur- riculum to produce some of the country’s future scientists, en- gineers, doctors, and lawyers. Other students prepare for the future by developing skills in manual arts, business, or sec- retarial courses. Further develop- ment comes thru clubs, sports, and other extracuricular activi- ties where students learn co- operation. Finally the advertisers or stockholders in our Power Plant help finance the yearbook. The Comet advisers include Elizabeth Sloat, editorial, layout, and typing; Mrs. Belva Kalessar, business; and Jean Clute, art.

In the first game of the season Nazareth defeated Parkland by a score of 21-16. In the second game Nazareth suffered its only defeat of the season at the hands of a powerful Nesquehoning team by a score of 31-2. In Nazareth’s encounter with Whitehall, Barry Woolbert intercepted a pass and intercepted a lateral and turned them both into touchdowns, to lead the Eagles to a 26-7 victory over the Zephers. Gaining their vengeance for last year’s loss, the Blue Eagles overpowered Minersville by a score of 18-7 in the first night game of the season. Conrad Shinier led the scoring for the Eagles by crossing the goal line twice in quarterback sneaks. Hitting their mid-season stride, the Blue Eagles stopped the Blue Bombers of Palmerton 34-12. Nazareth almost completely dominated the playing. Larry Lewis took the scor- ing honors by carrying the pigskin to paydirt twice. One of his touchdowns was a 62 yard jaunt. Traveling to Pen Argyl, the Blue Eagles resumed league competition by de- feating the Green Wave 20-7. Jack Woodward tal- lied twice and Larry Lewis once to complete the day’s scoring for Nazareth. Nazareth played host to Bangor in the next league game and trounced the Maroon and White by a 32-13 score. Bob Serfass led the scoring by catching two of Conrad Shimer’s three touchdown passes.

FOOTBALL SQUAD 70 Lehigh-Northampton Championship Playing an independent game with Governor Mifflin High School in Municipal Stadium at Reading in the second night game, the Blue Eagles set back the Shillington lads, champions of their league, by a score of 20-14. The key play of the game was the seldom-used tackle eligible pass play with Dick Hunt acting as pass receiver for Conrad Shimer’s 4 yard touchdown pass. Returning to league competition the Eagles squeezed past a stubborn East Stroudsburg squad, 14-6. Shinier scored both Nazareth touchdowns on wide end runs. Tied for first place with the Wilson Warriors, Nazareth traveled to Cottingham Stadium to try for the Lehigh-North- ampton League Championship on Thanksgiving Day. Playing in a sea of mud, the Eagles completely overpowered the Warriors in the first half by driving two touchdowns across the goal line. The first was a one foot quarterback sneak by Conrad Shinier in the first quarter and the second a 62 yard run by Jack Wood- ward in the second quarter. Neither team was able to score in the second half and the game ended 13-0 in favor of Nazareth. Wilson’s only threat of the game came in the third quarter when the Warriors drove to the Eagles’ 14 yard line as a result of a blocked punt. Ben Guiffre helped the Eagles along during the season by converting 19 out of 29 extra points. During his first season as Varsity Coach, Mr. Christman produced a championship team. In a post-season meeting Bob Serfass and Franklin Whiteman were elected honorary co-captains for the 1956 season.

Winding up a successful season in second place for the second straight year, the Nazareth cagers finished with an 18-5 record. In League com- petition Nazareth beat every opponent twice except Fountain Hill, too strong an opponent. Repeating last year’s slow start against non- league opponents, the Blue Eagles began their season by beating a powerful Parkland team which was favored for the league championship. After suffering their first loss in league competition to Fountain Hill, league champions, the Blue Eagles found themselves enjoying a fourteen game winning streak. The winning streak continued into the second half play until the Nazareth cagers were defeated once again by the Hillers. During the first half of this game both teams were matched shot for shot, but Fountain Hill showed championship form in the second half by winning a 78-63 decision. Representing the Lehigh-Northamp- ton League in the District 11, “Class A” playoff', Nazareth was defeated by a powerful Allentown High School 75-57. Midway through the third quarter Nazareth pulled to within two points to make the score 48-46. At this point in the game the crowd sensed a possible upset, but the strong Canaries pulled away to gain a berth in the District 11 Finals.

Their league record was six wins and two losses. Starting the season with three consecutive wins in non-league games Whitehall, Bangor, and Pen Argyl the Eagles looked as though they were on their way to an un- blemished season’s record. How- ever, they lost their fourth game to the league champs, Parkland. At Hellertown, Martin Rothrock tossed a brilliant two-hit shut-out, one of the two two-hitters thrown by Nazareth hurlers during the season. Bangor became the fifth victim to fall before the Eagles as Nazareth put together numerous rallies to win by a lopsided score. 1. Rothrock and Mengel score on Shimer’s two-base hit. 2. Mengel and Shinier combine on a squeeze attempt. Mengel rounds first after hitting a home run.

The second and last defeat of the season that the Eagles suffered was at the hands of Pen Argyl. Earlier in the season Pen Argyl was beaten by Nazareth. The Eagles scored all their runs in the last frame. The other two-hit shut-out thrown by Nazareth hurlers was by Mengel against a strong Coplay team. Both of Coplay’s hits were made in the second inning. The final three games of the season were won by Nazareth over Phillipsburg, Palmer- ton, and Fountain Hill.

However, the Nazareth grapplers met their match with powerful teams from Allentown, Bethlehem, Easton, and Northampton and were defeated. In the second half the Nazareth wrestlers were able to defeat only Southern Lehigh, ending the season with a 3-9 record. At the end of the season Robert Boyer was selected captain by his teammates. During the District XI Wrestling Champion- ship, held at Allentown on March 8 and 9, Nazareth placed five wrestlers in the semi-final round, winning a total of eight points for the team.
