1 - - - EVENTS OF THE YEAR il ITJ 1 |fifl j ; JU 6 1B ‘ At 9:00 A.M. on March 16, 1961, the Nazareth Area High School band be¬ gan its journey to Hyattsville, Maryland. At 3:00 P.M. the band reached its desti¬ nation, seven miles from the Capitol City. Cordially received, the band members dispersed to their hosts ' homes where they found warm hospitality. Members of the two bands became acquainted through dancing and social¬ izing at various house parties. After hours of assiduous practice under the direction of A. C. Weinhofer, Nazareth ' s conductor, and Michael Ronca, Hyattsville ' s conductor, the band polished the program. The climax of the exchange plan came on Saturday night when a crowd of 900 people applauded enthusiastically as the bands played a magnificent concert. Legislation from Harrisburg required the change of the title of the head of the borough from Burgess to that of Mayor. As the new Mayor, Wainwright Diehl, a local attorney, will have the same duties as those of ex-Burgess Robert B. Rei- chard. These duties include a power of veto over acts passed by Borough Coun¬ cil, control of the Police Department with the exception of hiring and firing, the responsibility of granting special permits, the enforcement of all ordinances, and the handling of less serious juvenile cases. Everyone wishes Mayor Diehl success in the performance of his new duties. Shown above is Wainwright Diehl being sworn in as Mayor by Justice of the Peace Charles Roth. The outgoing Burgess, Robert Reichard, looks on.

“ RECORD-BREAKING” Construction of our new football field began in Jan¬ uary, 1962. The new field is to occupy the area to the north of the Senior High School, and is expected to be completed in two years. It will replace the field to the south of the high school. Even though the field is sorely needed because of the lack of seating capacity, it is sad to note the passing of the old field, upon which many exciting defeats and bitter victories took place. Indeed, to many people, football in An addition to the rear of the Junior High School building was started in May, 1961, and is to be completed late this year. The addition includes a new cafeteria, a home economics suite, shop, and four classrooms. The need for the new addition was brought about by the steadily rising number of students entering the school system. Besides adding this wing to the building, complete reno¬ vation was undertaken in the Junior High School. This program included the installation of new heating, lighting, and lavatory facilities. New windows and doors were installed in the entire school. Although the construction involved incon¬ veniences to both the students and faculty, its importance and value cannot be overemphasized because of the new opportunities which will be presented to the future Junior High School stu¬ dents. This addition represents one phase of the modernization of the Nazareth Area School Sys¬ tem. Nazareth will not be the same. Exciting football games and track meets will be identified with the old field for years to come. Dozens of Nazareth men made their first touchdown and many Nazareth girls cheered their team on to victory on this gridiron. The land which is now used for football is to be used for the new elementary school. Construction of this school will begin in May. 7
