THE GATEWAY NAZARETH AREA SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL THE COMET Published by the class of 1958 NAZARETH AREA SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL Nazareth, Pennsylvania Member of Columbia Scholastic Press Association Member of Pennsylvania School Press Association Scenes Along The FOREWORD Our OPEN ROAD begins in the Moravian community of Nazareth, settled in 1740. Here we work and play and worship. To some of us the OPEN ROAD beckons to far horizons and great achievements; to others, to a happy family life in our own community. Whatever our destination, we have had three happy years along the OPEN ROAD at Nazareth Area Senior High School. Following our football team, participating in the operetta, working out a difficult chemistry experi- ment, or struggling over a math problem or an English theme—all these will he cherished memories along our OPEN ROAD of the future.

Robert Pritchard Arsenic and Old Lace, an odd yet laugh- provoking comedy in three acts, directed by Franklyn Kostenbader, was presented on Novem- ber 22 and 23 as the annual senior class play. Poisoning homeless, unsuspecting old gentle- men was the unusual activity of the two well- meaning and charming Brewster sisters Abby and Martha. Their screwy nephew Teddy helped the sisters in their grewsome occupation by digging trench-graves in the cellar to this self- styled Teddy Roosevelt, the Panama Canal. After many poisonings and mirthful entangle- ments, Abby, Martha, and poor demented Teddy were content to spend the rest of their lives at Happy Dale, a mental home. 52 Arsenic And Old Loce 1.
