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. Bonnie Mae Wolfe and Carol Louise Yeisley, seniors at Nazareth Area High School, participated in the first Junior Miss Pageant sponsored by the Nazareth J. C. ' s. The con¬ testants were judged for appearance in sportswear and evening wear, talent, and poise. Bonnie sang If I Could Tell You. Carol presented a water color exhibition and sang, The Sound of Music. Carol was first runner-up to Marcia Garcia of Eaton. Bonnie was honored as a semi-finalist. Along with the other contestants, both girls added glamour and lustre to the Nazareth J.C. ' s annual Fiesta. 8 Bonnie Wolfe Carol Yeisley
