To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A lime to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal; A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace. Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth abideth forever. The sun also ariseth, and the sun goelh down, and hasteth to his place where he arose.

The mode and style of clothes, as well as the accessories, affects personality and behavior. Fashion Flair of the 70 generation is maxi coats, leather jewelry, round and octagonal glasses, contact lenses, opaque hose, tie shoes with chunk heels, bell bottomed trousers, choker Indian beads, banchi bands, and hoop earrings. Debbie Green enjoys these outgoing fashions, displaying her hoop earrings. DAVID BUT2 David CHARLES CAIANDRA Cheese College Prep J.V. Basketball 1, Varsity 1,2,3; Prom Committee 2.

Ole, who comes from Huidovre, Denmark, arrived here on July 18, and will leave in July, 1970. He resides with the Lester Anderson family. Ole, while at home, lives with his family, consisting of his father, who is a printer, his mother, and an older brother who attends college. He was graduated from Holmegardo High School. When he returns, he plans to attend Town Hall for five years for courses in social work. After finishing there, he plans three more years for still further education. He remarked that the school system in Denmark is some different from ours in the United States. They hold class from 8:00 - 2:00 on week days and from 8:00 to 1:00 on Saturdays. They have no study halls. Ole also said that there is no cafeteria in the Danish school, and the students must bring their own food. As far as trans- portation is concerned. Ole said that in the winter stu- dents ride buses, and use bicycles for the summer. Ole remarked that the people in Nazareth are very friendly, and that they have helped to make this year a rewarding experience. During the school day. Ole speaks with his American mother, Mrs. Ruth Anderson, who is our library assistant, and his American broth- er, Barry. Ole enjoys Nazareth, and is very fond of the people he has met. 51 JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS, FRONT ROW: Vice President Patricia Walker, Secretary Jennifer Morrison, Treasurer Kathleen Tanzos.

The festivities began on Friday af- ternoon following the fifth period. A formal assembly was held in the auditorium. Mr. Joseph Reichel, a member of the Class of 1947, delivered the main ad- dress. His speech, dealing with the youth of today, was followed by a few selections by a local rock group. The Prisms. After the talent shows, all students congregated in the gym for the mock football game and pep rally. In the mock football game, the senior girls, representing Nazareth, challenged the junior girls, who represented Pen Argyl. The hard-fought contest was won by the senior girls. This day of assemblies and pep rallies served to build up the spirit of the students and the team. Sally Heffelfingcr of the Nazareth Blue Eagles prepares to kick off to the Pen Argyl Green Knights during the mock football game in which the senior girls challenged the junior girls. i 74 As part of the senior class talent show, the dirty old man with ques- tionable motives, played by Steve Narracci, approaches the shy and modest old maid, played by Connie Kalapick. She refuses his atten- tions, and promptly attacks him with her purse. During (he pep rally, Randy Heard is crowned Mr. Irresistible by Coach Evanko. Randy won this award by acquiring more Hush pins from senior girls than any other member of the football team. Left: Joseph Reichcl, a member of the Class of 1947, speaks as guest speaker for the formal assembly which inaugurated the first annual Homecoming activities. The subject for his speech was “Today's Youth, and the unpublicizod good they have done.

HOMECOMING Combinations” Play at Homecoming Dance Much time was spent preparing for the first Home- coming dance. The dance committee, headed by Lisa Walters, did a superb job in decorating the gym. The decorations consisted of signs declaring the supremacy of the Blue Eagles and the support of the entire student body and faculty, blue and white streamers, and a huge blue and white eagle hanging above the queen's throne. At 9:30, October 24, Nazareth's first Homecoming queen was crowned by the first Mr. Irresistible. Marcie Lichtenwalner, crowned by Randy Heard, was officially presented as queen at the Homecoming Dance. Senior members of the varsity football team nominated five senior girls as candidates for the queen and her court. The entire senior class voted for the queen. The mem- bers of the court were Nanette Stoudt, Susan Smith, Kathy Stofanak, and Lisa Walters. ''Combinations, a well-known musical group from Easton, provided the music for the dancing couples. At some times the music was soft and romantic; at other times, loud and psychedelic. 77 During the senior talent show, a group of girls applaud one of the many acts appearing for the Homecoming program. Many of our fel- low students displayed their hidden talents to make these shows a huge success. 78 Dressed in amusing attire, Nancy Yannuzzi, Brenda Yuhasz, and Nancy Cold displayed their comical talents by performing a humor- ous routine done to the popular tune of Ma-Na-Ma-Na. Coach James Evanko gives a spirit-boosting speech during the pep rally preceding the all-important Pen Argyl game. Mr. Evanko ex- pressed much confidence in his team in stopping and defeating Pen Argyl's Woody Petchel. HOMECOMING 1st Annual Homecoming Sparks Noble Tradition Nazareth Senior High School's first annual Home- coming festivities have laid the foundation for a great tradition. From the main assembly to the game itself. Homecoming served as no other preceding occasion to boost the spirit of the students and the team. This improved spirit was demonstrated by the many students who made signs and decorated their lockers and homerooms, and by those who donated their time to the planning of all the Homecoming festivities. Left: As one of the many acts appearing in the class talent shows, James Mehring leads students in the singing of such popular folk songs as Michael Row Your Boat Ashore, and Five Hundred Miles. Above: Overcome by the numerous assemblies, the pep ral- ly, and other hectic events of the Homecoming week, this student could not continue, and collapsed from sheer exhaustion. 79 1969 TRACK SCHEDULE NAHS OPP.

CHEERLEADERS Nazareth Cheerleaders Have Spirit and Soul Leading cheers, organizing pep rallies, and boosting team morale are a few of the jobs of our cheerleaders. These peppy girls must be given a great deal of credit for our teams' achieving so many victories, since their boundless enthusiasm transmitted itself to the student body, and it, in turn, cheered the Eagle teams onto more and more victories. At the first pep rally, the cheerleaders introduced new cheers, such as Power and Might and Spirit and Soul, which the students immediately adopted as their own. Little skits created by the varsity and junior varsity girls often included team members, and this led to a greater feeling of participation. Competition cheers, which the senior class won the majority of times, added to the students' enjoyment.

BASEBALL Eagle Players Turn in Successful Season Nazareth's impressive 11-2-1 record proved enough to secure the Blue Eagle's position as 1969 Division champions and forced a play off for the league title. Under the competent advice of head coach John Roanoke, and assistant coach Barry Boyer, the Eagles demonstrated their ball playing proficiency in game after game. Nazareth opened its season by defeating Southern Lehigh, but then suffered its first defeat as the Heller- town team handled the Eagles with ease. Undaunted by this setback, the team started its 11-game unbeaten streak by beating, then tying Wilson High. The Eagles continued on their way by defeating Pen Argyl, and devastating Pocono Mountain 12-4. Nazareth players defeated their next 7 opponents without any serious problems, but were edged out 2-1 by Bangor in the last scheduled game of the season. The Eagles then met Hellertown in the playoff game to determine the league championship. The Blue Eagles showed themselves to be much improved since their initial meeting with Hellertown, but the powerful Panthers managed to stay on top of the score. The Ea- gles, however, were left with the Divisional champion- ship and a very satisfying season. Head coach John Roanoke discusses pre-game strategy with senior captain Oale Hildenbrandt. Continuous assistance from the coaches and fine leadership combined to form an excellent baseball season in 1969. Sophomore Larry Schoeneberger bares his teeth as he sends the ball towards home plate. Larry, being a left-handed pitcher, caused many disappointments among the Blue Eagles' opponents. 86 Junior Don Dreibelbis polishes his bunting ability during a practice session at Nazareth Borough park. The Eagles' bat handling ability enabled them to capture the Northern Division title. 1969 BASEBALL TEAM — FRONT ROW: Dennis Schoenebcrgcr, Donald Keller, Joseph Getz, Lenny Messinger, Brad Gaumcr, Donald Beusing, Thomas Klepeisz, Steven Narracci, Gerard Kuna.

TRACK Thinclads Compete in Elegant New Uniforms Nazareth High School had the distinction of being the only track team in the Lehigh-Northampton League to employ female managers during the 1969 season. Edith Seifert and Diane Harding assisted Coach Alan Miller during both the meets and the practice ses- sions, effectively filling-in for the absence of male counterparts. Another new feature of the team was the appear- ance of Assistant Coach Ronald Lewis. Coach Lewis specialized in the jumping and pole-vaulting events, thus allowing Field Coach Miller time to concentrate on the throwing events. Nazareth opened its 1969 season by defeating Salis- bury 77-27 and Pen Argyl 73-31. Sparked by triple-win- ners George Mucha and Ron Musselman, the Blue Ea- gles lengthened their streak by defeating Palisades before suffering a crushing 37-67 loss at the hands of powerful Hellertown. Nazareth lost 47-57 to Wilson in a meet which remained uncertain to the last event. Eagle thinclads rallied their strength long enough to defeat Pocono Mountain 74-30, only to suffer back-to- back losses by Parkland and Bangor. The Blue Eagles ended their season with a happy note, defeating East Stroudsburg 77-27, thus preventing a losing season. Junior sprinter George Mucha adds to his outstanding record of first- place wins as he breaks the tape in the 100-yard dash. Mucha was high scorer for 1969 with 110 points. Below: Head Coach Alan Miller was assisted by Andrew Temmel, representing the cindcrmen, and Ronald Mussclman from the field events. Musselman holds the District XI javelin championship. Sizing up the pole vaulting pit is Carl Huff, a Junior. Huff was one of the returning leitcrmcn for the 1969 season. At Far Left, high jumper Tom Kolcssar steadies the bar for his second attempt at 5'6 during the meet with Salisbury. 89 GOLF Paukovitch Wins Third Flight in League Play Although golf is only in its second year at Nazareth Area Senior High School, Coach James Evanko's eight players have made admirable progress. Captained by senior Robert Butz, the Blue Eagle golfers attained third place in the Lehigh-Northampton league standings. Losing only to the eventual champion Parkland and to Southern Lehigh, Nazareth's relatively new team compiled a 5-2-0 overall record. The Blue Eagle's home course is the Green Pond Country Club, where Coach Evanko drills the team in the many skills required by good golfers. Scott Paukovitch, a junior member of the 1969 golf team, attained high honors in league competition, winning in his flight against very stiff competition. Robert Butz, senior captain of the golf team, assisted Coach James Evanko throughout the season. His record of wins to losses showed him to be a competent golfer. Bob confers with Coach Evanko just before the last match of the season. 1969 GOLF TEAM — FRONT ROW: Mark Parseghian, Captain Rob- ert Butz, James Kern, Scott Paukovitch.

In 1970, he will be a top contend- er for the district championship. 90 TENNIS Blue Eagle Racketeers End Rebuilding Season Carey Hawk, junior racketeer, manifests the determination that made him an outstanding tennis player during the 1969 season. It is this determination that carried him through the District XI tennis competition this spring. Hard hit by graduation, the Blue Eagle tennis team compiled a 3-8-1 overall record during the 1969 season. Having started the season by tying the Dieruff team, Nazareth netmen dropped their second and third matches to Liberty and Parkland. Not to be outdone, the Eagles rebounded by defeating Palmerton by a healthy margin, only to be handed defeats at the hands of Freedom and Emmaus. The Freedom match, howev- er, was the most thrill-packed of the season, for seven sets went beyond the conventional 6-4 match. Reading fell victim to the Blue Eagle attack, but the remaining teams in the league proved to have too much depth for the netmen to handle. Bill Eberts represented Nazareth in the District single competition, and an Eberts-Hawk team performed for the Eagles in the District Doubles. 1969 TENNIS TEAM — FRONT ROW: Dean Werner, Dennis Klipple, Bruce Keen, Randall Wambold. BACK ROW: Randall Marsh, William Eberrs, Carey Hawk, William Liming, Coach Edward Christman. Bill Eberts, captain of the 1969 tennis team, aided Coach Edward Christman in many ways throughout the season. Eberts was the sole senior player on the team. 91 FOOTBALL Three Players Receive Honorable Mention Nearly everyone was surprised when the leftover 1968 football team fought to the top of the Lehigh- Northampton League. With the turn of the season, however, went most of Nazareth's heavyweights, and even the most confident Eagle fans had worries over the diminuitive line of the 1969 team. Working under one of the heaviest practice sched- ules in the area, the gridders strove to prepare them- selves for the upcoming season. Seemingly confirming the worst fears, the Eagles lost their season opener to Governor Mifflin 22-0. The oversized Mifflin team, however, was not a good standard by which to judge the fledgling Eagles. Naza- reth regained its stature by besting Hellertown 27-14 and when Lehighton and Whitehall, both strong offen- sive teams, fell easily to Nazareth, the Eagles earned the title Rugged Nazareth.

Below: Carl Fischl and Larry Schoeneberger provide running room for senior quarterback Tom Klepeisz during the Nazareth- Whitchall battle. Fischl, a senior guard, received a Big 33 nomination for his excellent performances. Dan Dreibelbis and Dennis Condomitti congratulate tailback Kcnn Steward after the 140-pound senior scored to break the 0-0 deadlock at the Wilson game. Steward scored the sole touchdown during the traditional Thanksgiving clash. 95 Quarterback Donald Drcibclbis utilizes the excellent blocking pro- vided for him by his linemen. Nazareth's ability to sustain a drive was a decisive part of their League victory. FOOTBALL Eagles Extend Streak to 20 League Games Defensive linemen and backs fight past Wilson blockers to reach the ball carrier. Boasting a determined and hard-hitting defense, the Ea- gles were able to ruin many offensive averages. With a 12-0 victory over Parkland, the Battle of the Titans was set up with Pen Argyl. The Green Knights apparently had the best offensive team in the league. Devastating end sweeps and off-tackle plays had scored them 18 touchdowns in their first five games. The Eagle defense had to hold, and that they did! Spurred on by a record crowd, Nazareth held the Knight's quarterback to 96 yards in 26 carries, and won the contest 12-7. With the Knights safely tucked away, the Eagles con- tained Bangor's powerful passing game and then snapped Salisbury's seven game winning streak, vir- tually clinching the Lehigh-Northampton League title. After the victory over East Stroudsburg, there was no doubt left in anyone's mind as to Nazareth' football supremacy. The 1969 Blue Eagle team had done what no other team in the history of the L-N-L had been able to do — they had won three straight championships. All that remained for a perfect season was a victory over Wilson. This was accomplished on November 28, when the Eagles stretched their streak to a record 20 League games without a loss, by far surpassing any pre- vious streak. 96 Senior fullback Tim Messinger attempts to outdis- tance a Wilson lineman. Although badly out- weighed in the league, the Eagles answered for their small size with speed and aggressiveness. Tim, along with Carl Fischl and Ken Steward, received Big 33 nominations and Honorable Mention honors on the Associated Press All-State team. 1969 JUNIOR VARSITY FOOTBALL TEAM — FRONT ROW: Timothy Winter, Terence Parenti, Randy Claroni, Gary Hoffman, Stephen Solderitch, Randy Stoudt, William Sommers, Craig Huth, Duane Ashenfalder, Norman Day, Joseph Skutches, Phillip Haberle, Manager Ronald Huth, Manager Elwood Werner.

Any girl who wants to play field hockey simply has got to be built for it. Unless she intends to play goalie, which frequently means kicking hard-driven balls out of the goal cage, her feet had better be small enough to prevent her and her teammates from tripping over them. Instant accelerations, on-the-spot pivots, sinew- snapping lunges, speedy circular tackles, artful dodges — all demand short, muscled legs, hard flat stomaches, powerful backs, and active adrenalin-producing glands. To successfully wield a hockey stick or accurately drive a ball requires not only steadfast practice, but also strong, coordinated arms. Also advantageous to a hockey player are shinbones of steel and unbreakable knuckles, toes, and kneecaps to guard against injury by a swinging stick or a lofted ball. If she's muscular, built low to the ground, supple, and durable, a girl could be a natural for field hockey. Although they lost 6 of their 8 games, the newly- formed girls' field hockey team never lost their spirit and determination to win. Alternately sweating and freezing through grueling practices, suffering numer- ous injuries, running, skipping, scrimmaging, com- plaining, losing, winning — all were experiences the Chiclets will always remember. Waiting seemed to play a major role in the lives of the hockey team.

Under the leadership of Coach Sandra Shindel, the girls won seven of their ten league games to capture second place in the Le- high-Northampton League. GIRLS’ BASKETBALL Girls Place Second In League Standing This year the Eaglettes experienced another fairly successful season. Rules were changed early in the sea- son when the traditional six players were lowered to match the boy's five players, all stationary. After their first loss to Wilson, the high-spirited girls never gave up. They went on to win four consecutive league games. Contributing to the team's success were the starting five, consisting of four seniors and one ju- nior. Seniors were Co-captains Steff Miller and Susan Smith, Steff Paukovits, and Jeanne Hunt. Becky Hess was the starting junior. High-scoring guard Susan Smith gets two for the Eaglettes as the Nazareth team watches attentively. BASKETBALL Eagles Gain Third Straight L-N-L Crown Nazareth Blue Eagles brought home their third Le- high-Northampton League championship and their seventh successive Northern Division crown. Led throughout the year by Co-captains John Gyulai and Charles Calandra, the Big Blue achieved a commend- able 18-5 record. Keys to the team's success were John Gyulai's pin-point passing and fine shooting and Char- lie Calandra's accurate outside shooting. The rebound- ing ability of two junior starters, Sam Senneca and Kyle Roth also contributed to the successful season. Clutch foul shooting by senior Richard Nagle and steady per- formance of senior Carl Fischl were great aids in the completion of another fine season. In the pre-season schedule, the team came out of all but one game victoriously. The Eagles rolled through their first three games, including Stroud Union, 63-55, Lehighton, 68-64, and Pocono Mountain, 69-37. The Blue Eagles then traveled to Catasauqua, a Lehigh Val- ley League power. The Rough Riders handed the Ea- gles their first and only preseason loss with a score of 70-56. Although the Eagles were still trying to find the winning combination, they used spirited play and tena- cious defense to defeat their opponents. The teams who tasted defeat at the hands of the Eagles were Emmaus, 78-59; Whitehall 63-51; and Northwestern 77- 64. In the preseason game against Salisbury, the team, led by Charlie Calandra and John Gyulai with 27 points each, outscored and outplayed the Falcons, 75-69. Before a dwarfed crowd in Liberty's Memorial Gym- nasium, the Eagles opened play in the first half of the Northern Division against Bangor. The Eagles swept by the Slaters with a resounding 74-66 victory. The Big Blue then edged Parkland, 65-62. By trouncing Wilson 64-44, the Eagles moved into a tie for first half honors. The Cagers dropped their first league game to a fired- up Pen Argyl team by a 73-67 score. John Gyulai had 26 points in the losing cause. The Big Blue rebounded by stinging East Stroudsburg 70-53 on the Eagle's home court. Finishing the first half with a 5-1 record after dumping Hellertown 64-54, the Eagles would have been tied with East Stroudsburg had it not been for Bangor, who bumped off the Cavaliers in the final minute of play. The Eagle's ever-improving play gained them the first-half crown and a chance to grab their seventh consecutive Northern Division title. Eagle rebounders Charles Calandra (Left) and Kyle Roth (Right) bat- tle for the ball during the game with East Stroudsburg.

BASKETBALL Cagers Earn Seventh Northern-Division Title As the second half got underway, the Eagles slipped past Bangor and Wilson 76-64 and 63-56. Highly im- proved Parkland stunned the Blue Eagles with a shock- ingly high 93-62. Seeming to be on the downhill, the Eagles lost their last and only home game to Pen Argyl 66-71. Out of the competition for the second-half crown, but regaining momentum, the Eagles downed East Stroudsburg for the second time 62-56 and man- aged an 82-70 victory over Hellertown. By virtue of their first-half championship ticket, the Eagles traveled again to Liberty's Gymnasium to chal- lenge the most improved team in the Lehigh Valley, Parkland, who became second-half champs by defeat- ing East Stroudsburg. Pulling away 15-10 at the end of the first quarter, the Eagles never trailed and went on to win their seventh Northern Division title in a row 59- 34. Burly Sam Senneca, a 209-pound junior, hauled in 19 rebounds. Salisbury, who had won the Southern Division cham- pionship, and their last 13 ball games, came to White- hall Gymnasium to challenge the defending lehigh- Northampton League champions, the Blue Eacles of Nazareth. Termed the hottest team in the area, Salis- bury just couldn't put it together against the Blue Ea- gles, who upended their streak 69-55. Since the Blue Eagles were plagued with early four trouble. Coach Boyer sent in senior Lonnie Leh and junior Dennis Fry, who did a fine job in containing Salisbury's scorers. Sam Senneca came through again and grabbed 19 re- bounds for his best performance all year. Playmaker and ballhandler John Gyulai, who scored 16 points, iced the game with 59 seconds left when he made a clean steal from a Salisbury player. In the final eight minutes, Charlie Calandra, the game's top scorer with 20, was 5 for 6 on the free throw line and hit two long jumpers to keep the Blue Eagles in contention. The capacity crowd of 2,000 envisioned an overtime as the game was tied at 50, 57, 61, 63, and 65 in the final period. In District XI tournament action, the Blue Eagles met jinx team Panther Valley for the Eagle's final game in the Liberty gym. For the tnird straight year the Panthers sneaked by the Eagles. Two clutch foul shots by senior Richard Nagle tiecfthe game at 55-all at the end of reg- ulation play. In the overtime, the Panthers pulled away to a 59-53 lead. The Big Blue closed the gap but it was too late. Charlie Clanandra had 19 points for the Eagles in the tormenting defeat. Citizens of Nazareth have much to be proud of in the Blue Eagles, for although they didn't capture the elusive District XI championship, tney achivea what no other Lehigh-Northampton League team has ever done; winning three consecutive League titles and seven Northern Division championships in a row. In LNL first-half action against East Stroudsburg, two Cavalier de- fenders are left standing flat-footed as Kyle Roth jumps high above them, executing near-perfect form for a jump shot.

ItyUfflK1 ffpfianp'J; WRESTLING Eagles Compile Worthy 10-4 Seasonal Record Despite facing their toughest schedule in years, the Blue Eagles wrestled to a 10-4 overall season record. Defeated only by powerful Phillipsburg, Easton, Heller- town, and Wilson squads, the Eagle grapplers decisive- ly beat all other opposition to finish third in league action. This year Nazareth High wrestling has asserted a great influence on the community. As a winter specta- tor sport, wrestling has aroused as much enthusiasm and attracted as large a following as basketball. Joseph Drust, former assistant coach, initiated an elementary school wrestling program, and Ronald Lewis took over as JV coach and assistant varsity coach. Although this season's squad was relatively inexperi- enced, several of the boys turned in outstanding per- formances. 168-pound junior Jack Miller, 12-2, tied Ron Klein's 1966 school record of nine pins in a single season. Richard Albert, 11-3, Rich Gross, 12-1-1, and Miller were Lehigh-Northampton League Sectional winners in their respective weight classes. Other fine records were compiled by Kenn Steward, 12-2; junior Ron Gerhard, 11-3; and freshman David Schteck, 9-1. 109 Above: Ronald Gerhard, 180-pound junior, works for a takedown.

Broad Secretary..........................Wilfred J. Sheetz Treasurer................. Charles P. Schnerr Solicitor...........................Walter L. Peters Due to the crowded conditions in Nazareth Area Senior High School, the Board has approved an exten- sion to the building. The proposed extension includes 19 additional classrooms, enlargement of the library and cafeteria, and conversion and enlargement of the gymnasium area and music rooms. Two of the principal features will be a new gym, with a seating capacity of 2, 000, and a planetarium which will serve the interests of grades from kindergarten through twelfth. The project also provides for a relocated health suite, earth and space science and advanced biology laboratories. We will also have an enlarged area for the guidance personnel. Keeping students abreast with college requirements and job opportunities presents a necessity for the best education possible. The Board of Education's efforts to keep up with provision of this best possible education is shown by the constant improvement of our educa- tional facilities.

ENGLISH English Poses Questions in Youthful Minds In a world where men have walked on the moon, where human hearts have found second lives, and where the Republican party again made its appearance into the limelight, man's ability to communicate with his fellow man has become an increasingly important virtue. In the field of communication, one must keep in mind the skills of listening, speaking, and writing. These skills are developed through the interpreting of lectures, through public speaking, and through the construction of themes. During a student's high school education, the sole purpose of the English Department is to prepare the student for the challenges of an ever moving society. Grammar is a heavily stressed subject for the Sopho- mores, which can be applied to theme writing in later years. In the Junior English classes, the study of litera- ture is stressed. In their Senior year, students prepare oral presentation using the basics of grammar and liter- ature they learned in previous years. Book reports are no longer based on the story itself, but are written by applying concepts given to the students by their teachers. Several Juniors challenge Beverly Long as she explains some aspects of a literature map. Eleventh grade English usually pursues the study of literature and composition. This map is one way of attracting the students'interest. College Preparatory students in the first period English class work attentively on paragraph development and sentence construction, as they study their Rhetoric. Much attention during the beginning of the school year is placed on these subjects. Hard at work. Juniors get their first taste of writing under their new Junior English teacher, Harry Rollins. Composition writing is a very vital part of Junior English, especially for college preparation. 126 Above: John Scanned, Senior English teacher and Drama instructor, explains his idea of what Hell is like in order to stimulate the stu- dents' imaginations so that they will be able to interpret their own ideas. Right: Grammar is an important part of Sophomore English, as Mrs. Janice Lewis, Sophomore English and German I teacher, ex- plains to her class. During the early part of the year, the basic points of grammar are discussed and thoroughly reviewed. Mr. John Scannell's Senior English class ponders on his perplexing question, What does your Hell look like to you? Several students expressed humorous and varied remarks, while others expressed their disbelief in Hell completely. 127 Chemistry instructor Adam Shekletski explains the laboratory tech- nique of heating a hydrate over a Bunsen burner to Sue Smith, who manages to look confused. Above: Dyvonne Nevil, mathematics teacher, attempts to convey the basic fundamentals of Algebra II by explaining the homework prepa- ration which the students have written on the chalkboard. Right: Bonnie Berger assists Cindy Lou Bealer in locating the internal organs of a frog. The students learn the basics of biology through such labo- ratory research. 128 SCIENCE AND MATHEMATICS NAHS Equips Students for Technological Life In our modern times, where headlines daily tell of new scientific and technological finds, it is important that every American citizen have a basic knowledge of mathematics and science. Nazareth Area Senior High School offers a varied curriculum in each of these fields, with classes for each interest level. With courses in biology, chemistry, earth and space science, and physics offered for the science student, and geometry, algebra, trigonometry, and business math for the math-minded pupil, every student finds some course he can master. In order to be graduated from Nazareth Area Senior High School, every student must accumulate 1 credit in science and 1 in mathematics. Donald Dreibelbis lights the Bunsen burner in order to dehydrate a mixture for a chemistry laboratory experiment. Other would-be chemists in the picture below are Carey Hawk, Randy Heard, john Cyulai, Daniel Dreibelbis and Carlton Huff. 129 SOCIAL STUDIES Students Learn to Solve Future Social Problems We find ourselves at the threshold of the 70's. Faced with the Vietnam Conflict, the Middle East Crisis, the Korean aftermath, we as Americans now must choose our way. Will we continue to defend every under- dog in the world? Or will we be overwhelmed by our own efforts to free the world for democracy? The time to decide is now. By studying people throughout the world, learning about their government and their culture, we can es- tablish better relationships with them. A basic knowl- edge of our American heritage can guide us in our fu- ture decisions. Understanding present problems — crime, delinquency, housing, racial conflicts, poverty — can lead to reasonable solutions. Social studies in our school train us to meet and overcome current and future social difficulties. Right: Sophomore David Roth volunteers to answer a question in his World Cultures class. Behind is a map of Africa, a continent whose nations are of great concern to the United States.

Below: Members of the American Cul- tures class share a joke at Mr. Lewis' expense. FOREIGN LANGUAGES AND LIBRARY Language Depts. Stress Literature Grammar Due to new advances in communications, every per- son should be able to speak, read, and write his own language fluently, and, in addition, the language of another country. Nazareth Area Senior High School offers courses in both German and French. French I, II, III, and IV, taught by Miss Joan Mesko, covers grammar, literature, and culture. In the fourth year course, which is relatively new, the entire class is conducted in the French language. German I, II, III, and IV offers grammar, literature, and culture also. In the fourth year of German, also rel- atively new, compositions are assigned to be written entirely in German. The class, also reads a novellette written in the German language. The classes are taught by Mrs. Ruth McGonigle and Mrs. Janice Lewis. Nazareth Area Senior High School's library offers many materials for student use. The microfilm ma- chine, installed in the beginning of last year, is the newest student aid. Due to the small number of school librarians available, Mrs. Anita Keck is presently substi- tuting as our school librarian. She is capably assisted by Mrs. Ruth Anderson. Leisure time may be spent in the library reading magazines and pamphlets. During study periods, students do research for term pa- pers, find novels for book reports, or read the daily happenings in the newspaper. Below: In addition to concentrating on grammar, German I students read short stories in German. Right: Students in French IV review grammar in the beginning of the year. Later, they read French novels. LIBRARY AIDES CLUB: These students devote their free time to helping Mrs. Anita Keck and Mrs. Ruth Anderson in our school li- brary. The colorful displays on the bulletin boards are the work of these students. 133 SEMINARS Seminars Provide Time for Intensified Study ENGLISH SEMINAR English Seminar, a course open to seniors and ad- vised by j. F. Knecht, serves as a guideline for college English. As members of the group, students discuss not only works of past and present authors, but also talk freely about philosophies, universalities, and truisms found in literature. The course gives students insight into problems in daily life and helps to create a well-balanced personality. RIGHT: J. Frederic Knecht, adviser of the English Seminar, is intro- ducing several new and interesting concepts for his select group's consideration. Recently elected Chairman of the English Depart- ment, Mr. Knecht collaborates his duties as both teacher and adviser to attain a uniform level of presentation. BELOW: Hank Schmoyer, Jody Mahorsky, Joann Lawrence, and Lisa Mikol are the members of this year's English Seminar. Having completed individual research on Shakespeare's Henry IV, they are comparing their findings with the others in the group. In an attempt to make an in-depth study of propaganda, the Semin- arians compare differences in news articles presented by newspapers from across the nation. Articles researched included the Ted Kenne- dy Incident, and the Viet Namese War. HISTORY SEMINAR This year's History Seminar, advised by Miriam Zell, has undertaken a variety of projects. After dividing into committees, the students did research on riots in gen- eral and methods of propaganda and then reported their findings to the entire group. The Seminar toured the Allentown Morning Call plant and received an informative talk on the makings of their newspaper by members of the staff. Another topic was presented to the group by Robert Reichard, Senior High School guidance counselor, who spoke on the Youth Conference which was held at Lehigh University. BELOW: Adviser of the History Seminar, Miriam Zell, attempts to en- lighten her group by promoting stimulating debates and introducing projects dealing with current events as well as past American History. Thomas Kolessar operates the projector while the other members of the History Seminar view a picture concerning life during the Twen- ty-first Century. Following the presentation, there was an informal discussion on the topic. 135 BUSINESS EDUCATION Ability Counts in To- day’s Business World Today's secretary must be versatile. She should have a general knowledge of each field of work, be it typing, stenography, or accounting. Therefore, our business curriculum is dedicated to instructing students for fu- ture employment. Typing requires accuracy as speed increases. Proof- reading for errors is an essential part of this course. Employers wouldn't sign letters with careless mistakes that could lose customers. Competent stenographers take accurate notes under the tension of dictation. Shorthand gives students the chance to exhibit some of their other secretarial skills, such as typing and grammar. The stenographer must be able to transcribe notes on the typewriter. Correct grammar, punctuation, and spelling are an important asset for every secretary. Record keeping has been introduced into the Busi- ness Education curriculum. It is an insight into the field of bookkeeping. Bookkeeping is designed to teach students the basic fundamentals for an accounting career. Success in today's business world requires much more than good secretarial skills. Human relations and the ability to get along with all types of people are the keys to success. Office practice classes are taught the everyday clerical routines per- formed in a business office. Here, Nancy Gold carefully erases a ty- pographical error for a good, mailable copy. Students also learn the operation of various office machines. 136 Computing totals on the adding machine is only one of the different jobs for this office practice class. Brenda Lilly, Carol Person, and Bar- ry Bealcr tabulate amounts for their assignments. Keep your eyes on your copy ' is a familiar phrase in all typing classes. Speed and accuracy are highly stressed. Students arc also taught how to set up letters and tabulation problems. Assets equal liabilities plus proprietorship, is the fundamental bookkeeping equation taught by Mrs. Mildred Metz. Students learn how to record all types of business transactions and make accurate financial reports. 137 Ole Pedersen dribbles the ball down the field during a vigorous soc- cer game. His opponents attempt to overtake him and gain control of the ball. Soccer helps to develop many skills and coordination. For the first time, two gym classes were introduced to the fundamen- tals of skiing. Balance and coordination which are essential to be a good skier, are improved by exercises on the balance beam. Beverly Long begins a. skiing hopscotch drill during one of the two skiing classes. This drill aids in the development of skills needed to perform proper turns while skiing. 138 Class Activity Develops Poise And Confidence HEALTH AND PHYSICAL EDUCATION Our Health and Physical Education Departments strive to develop in us an appreciation of the values of physical activity in becoming a well-rounded individual. The main objective of health classes is learning the function and care of our body and establishing good living habits. To- day it is felt that a person cannot be well-rounded unless he has both a balanced education and a physical drive. Gym classes give students the opportunity to practice cooperation and good sportsmanship while keeping fit. DRIVER EDUCATION Knowing one's car is essential for being a safe driver. In Driver Education, six hours of actual driving experience are supplemented by thirty hours of classroom instruc- tion. Classroom lecturing is emphasized by films and out- side speakers. Left: With the use of authentic specimens, health instructors explain the structure of the human skeleton to one of the health classes. Knowledge of the human skeleton is essential to the study of health. Above: Driver Education stresses the importance of safety in driving and the skills necessary in acquiring good driving habits. For this purpose, Mr. Guy Owens employs a text book, films, and slides. 139 Right: Robert Steiner, Connie Gradwohl, and Sue Stannard read the instructions on the use of one of the new computers recently in- stalled at the Vocational-Technical school.

Using one of the metal lathe machines in the automechanic shop, Ricky Hahn shapes a piece of metal to be used for a future project. 140 VOCATIONAL-TECHNICAL SCHOOL Modern Facilities Are Open to V-T Students Vocational-Technical School of Eastern Northamp- ton County provides students with an opportunity to develop skills that will be useful in their chosen voca- tion. Students attend classes in Forks Township for half the school day and spend the remaining half taking mandatory classes in gym, English, history, and health in our high school building. There are a variety of shops available to the vocation- al training student: mechanics, electronics, masonry, business, management, carpentry, and printing. Distributive Education students spend part of their day working at a job in their skilled areas instead of at- tending vocational classes. This vital part of the school program trains students in the skills necessary to find employment. Glenn Young spray paints a car that was provided by a local citizen for the purpose of training students in their chosen vocation of auto bodywork. 141 ART, INDUSTRIAL ART, AND HOME EC Students Try To Reveal New Creative Abilities Art classes give the student a chance to express his individuality through painting, drawing, sculpture, and many other mediums. Crafts includes such things as jewelry making, pottery, and other objects of design. In the area of Industrial Arts, Nazareth offers both wood shop and metal shop. In the class, one learns the operation of machinery and wood finishing.This year, for the first time, there is a leather shop offered for the girls. Home economics classes prepare girls for homemak- ing, which will prove beneficial after marriage. They learn the fundamentals of sewing, child care, nutrition, and family understanding. In sewing classes the girls get a chance to add cloth- ing to their wardrobe. They work from the simplicity of the blouses to the complicated tailoring of suits. Metal shop students create their own designs using the mechanical devices found in the well-equipped shop. Students learn the compli- cated procedures in refinishing and antiquing furniture in the wood shop. They also make wooden bowls, tables, lamp bases, gun cabi- nets, book cases, inlaid chess boards and benches in a variety of woods and finishes. 142 Art I classes learn the technique of portrait drawing in pastels. Edith Seifert poses for the students as they try to capture her expression. Mr. Robert Lichner, instructor, offers some professional advice. Above: Arts and Crafts classes work with clay as one of their projects. Students choose their own ways in which to create their project. Connie Marsh and lisa Walters add finishing touches to their pieces. Left: Usa prepares her sewing machine for sewing class as part of her Home Economics course. First year classes begin with the making of blouses, and students work all the way to fine tailoring. 143 MBfVi VyjJAiM8Hifffc1 j jnrMUroKOCTHlirMDmBDMDniMM Activities ' PROM Japanese Garden” is 1969 Jr. Prom Theme On the evening of May 23, guests entering the lobby of the Senior High School gym stepped into the atmo- sphere of a Japanese Garden complete with rickshaws, Japanese maidens, a hugh, colorful dragon, tiny para- sols, and chopsticks. As they walked through bamboo- beaded doorways, their eyes focused on the beautiful lily pond surrounded by rocks and shrubbery and spanned by a footbridge. Dragon planks, volcanos, and two large gold Buddhas were the background for the band. Japanese lanterns hung from the ceiling and threw colorful tints of light on the floor. A Japanese Pagoda in its garden honored the queen and her court. Right: Everyone waits anxiously for the announcing of the queen and her court. The five girls arc chosen by the members of the Junior Class by write-in votes. Below: After escorting the Queen of the Prom and her court to the Japanese Pagoda, Tim Messinger presents them with their bouquets. Members of the court are Christine Davis, Roseanne DeFrank, Queen Jeanne Wolf, Peggi Bortz, and Linda Mackes. 146 147 Happiness and excitement are evident as couples pause beside the lily pond to socialize, toss in a coin, and make a wish; others simply enjoy dancing. PRONI Post Prom Activities Held at Easton Hotel Jeanne Wolf and her escort Charles Calandra arc the only dancers on the floor following the crowning ceremony. Music for the gala evening was provided by the Vincent Pettinclli Orchestra. 148 Theme Committee members Kathy Stofanak and Alice Cuida and Prom Committee Chairman Lisa Walters put finishing touches to the colorful-dragon that greeted guests as they entered the lobby. Compared to the lively dancing and good spirits of the Post Prom Party, the mood of the Prom itself was quite sedate. The Combina- tions provided the music for the Post Prom dancing. Gaily decorated tables in the lobby provide happy couples with a place to relax and enjoy refreshments while discussing the events of the memorable evening. The evening's festivities were completed at a Post Prom party at Hotel Easton. 149 CLASS PLAY Senior Class Presents A Haunting Drama CAST Myra........ Elizabeth — Wyland ..... Rutherford ..

Conway, not understanding the native language of Ai-Ling, asks Helen what has happened. Joe Laurito, the Tibetan servant, tries to prevent Mallinson and Lo- Tsen from leaving Shangri-La. Lo-Tsen would suddenly grow old and die if she left the valley. Myra, Rutherford, Wyland, and Elizabeth are seated in a dining room. These four characters relate the facts of the story in the Pro- logue and in the Epilogue. 152 Michele Noll and Elizabeth Barr discuss their job of student directing with John R. Scannell, faculty director. These girls, with the help of their adviser, produced a most successful senior class play. CLASS PLAY Lost Horizon” Plays To Near Capacity Audience Interpreting and realistically portraying the characters in the haunting play Lost Horizon at first posed the cast's chief problem. As practices became longer and more frequent, the players warmed to their parts; they made the characters live. Practices were many times tedious and frustrating, not only to the cast but also the faculty director John Scannell. Gradually, as they learned their lines, got to know one another better, and as costumes, set, programs, and other plans for the production neared comple- tion, the cast members fabricated a tale of clam beds and cigar butts and threw numerous parties — birthday parties, we'vc-learned-our- line parties, end-of-play parties. The cast weren't the only ones who slaved long hours to make the play successful. Costume committee sewed colorful Tibetan shifts for hours after school and Saturdays; set committee was forced not only to labor manually, but also to endure the mental torture of Mr. Lich- ner's tirades. Despite all the upsets, the play was successful, and was even shown on Cable TV. Barnard shows his anger when he finds Mallinson going through his wallet. Through this search, Mallinson reveals to everyone that Bar- nard is a fugitive hiding from the police. 0 153 Comet Staff Publishes 50th Anniversary Issue Beginning in September, the Comet Staff got off to an early start on the publication of the 50th Anniversa- ry volume. The 15-member staff worked first on solicit- ing the advertisements for the yearbook. The next big decision was choosing a suitable theme, a general lay- out, and the cover design that would please our class of 1970. With the help and advice of advisers Mrs. Koles- sar and Mr. Schmoyer, the staff went to work. After getting started on the main areas, the staff cou- pled up and worked on the different sections, includ- ing forming the layouts, picking pictures, writing cap- tions, copy, and headers, and making sure all the view- points of each section were displayed. There were times of loafing, lectures, and very hard work, but when the deadline times came, effort was put forth, and work was always completed and ready for the publisher. Comet staff members were Carlton Huff, Karen Ifk- ovits, Tom Kolessar, JoAnn Lawrence, Marcie Lichten- walner, Jody Mahorsky, Joanne Mann, Debbie Olen- wine, Janet Overholt, Stephanie Paukovits, Mary Rohn, Kathy Stofanak, Nanette Stoudt, Lisa Walters, and Mary Ann Wunderly, Frances D'Achille. Staff members use their creativity and imagination to try to display to the reader an overall view of their assigned sections. 154 Left: Lisa Walters and Kathy Stofanak work together to complete the prom section before the scheduled deadline.

The group held a hoagic sale to sponsor a trip and to send del- egates to a model House of Representatives at Kutztown State College. French Club Officers, President Ellen Day, Secretary Debbie Olcn- wine. Vice President Joann Lawrence, Treasurer Carol Dech, and Adviser Joan Mesko cut the cake to end a very delightful Christmas Party. 156 One of six guest exchange students, this girl from Thailand enjoys a conversation with members of the French Club. Three of the guests presented slides and talks on their home countries. POLITICAL CLUB AND FRENCH CLUB Clubs Serve to Broaden Student Interests FRENCH CLUB This Club was created to broaden the cultural back- ground of the students. Such events as trips to New York, a proposed trip to Canada, and French Christmas Party are sponsored by the Club which was organized and advised by Joan Mesko. These trips to New York wer,e the high points of the year for the Club members because such interesting sights as museums, Broadway plays, French restaurants, and Brentano's Book Store were visited. POLITICAL CLUB Political Club was established to acquaint students with the workings of local and federal governments and the functions of political parties. Meetings are supplemented by outside speakers. The Club spon- sored a hoagie sale during the month of October to raise money for a proposed trip to Washington, D. C. Officers of the Political Club are President Thomas Kolessar, Secretary Debbie Schmoyer, Vice President Maribeth West, and Treasurer Carlton Huff. LEFT: Students admire the decorations of th'e buffet table during the French Club Christmas Party. This beautiful bouquet and the deli- cious-looking cakes served as the centerpieces for the head tables. 157 These girls are working on their balance beam routines which is a major event in girls' gymnastic competition. Although the school's balance beam is approximately two feet too short, it does give the students some experience. Future Homemakers of America offers many services to the school and community and sponsors such projects as hoagie sales and the Mother and Daughter Banquet. Officers of the Club are Dolores Reese, Janet Hinkcl, Debbie McAllister, Cheryl Hinkel, and Jane Breinig. Mrs. Elizabeth Kunkel is adviser to this group. 158 CLUBS Clubs Appeal To Students Of Varying Interests GIRLS’ GYMNASTICS CLUB Due to increasing interest in gymnastics, Mrs. Sandra Shindel formed the Girls' Gymnastics Club. Members begin their sessions with limbering exercises such as splits, cartwheels, and toe touches. These arc followed by practice of gymnastic skills of varying difficul- ties. Because of these sessions, the girls have progressed from car- twheels to walk-overs. With the expansion of the school and the ad- dition of new gymnastic equipment, the sport of gymnastics promis- es to increase in popularity in Nazareth Area Senior High School. This year the girls' were led in their activities by officers Christine Traupman, Jocelyn Sours, Patricia Walker, and Kathleen Magditch. FUTURE HOMEMAKERS OF AMERICA In order to provide service for the school and community, the Fu- ture Homemakers was organized. To raise funds for their various projects such as the Mother and Daughter Banquet and their annual trip to the Pennsylvania Farm Show at Harrisburg, the Club spon- sored a hoagic sale. Trampoline routines are a very important part of gymnastics. Work on the tramp begins with basic moves as pirouettes, knee drops, and seat drops, and after much practice one graduates to the difficult skills of turntable or swivel hips. Art Club officers President Doug Hoch, Vice President JoAnn Law- rence, and Secretary-Treasurer Lisa Walters along with Adviser Rob- ert Lichner organize the activities of the club. The group made their own Christmas cards. Stagecraft Club gives students who have artistic talent the chance to aid in the construction of stage settings for the Senior Class Play, cho- ral concerts, and other productions during the year. 160 Stephany Miller structures the framework for a papier mache ele- phant during a session of the Art Club. Papier mache'objects are made from a basis form of newspaper or wire which is covered with paper soaked in a mixture of water and wheat paste. CLUBS New Art Club Formed at Nazareth Area High ART CLUB Art Club was created to give students with a special interest in art the opportunity to work with many more types of creative projects than can be covered in class. During their meetings the members are allowed to work with any project they wish. The informal atmo- sphere readily lends itself to creativity. STAGECRAFT CLUB Members of the Stagecraft Club provide artistic background for many school performances, such as the Senior Class play and various musical concerts. This club gives interested students the opportunity to work with wood and other materials in expressing their artis- tic ability. Displaying many varied forms of an designed by the members of Art Club, Robert Lichncr provides the art room with a colorful and crea- tive atmosphere. This display includes oil paintings, perspective paintings, and papier-mache. 161 a. 7 HONOR SOCIETY — STUDENT COUNCIL Promoting High Ideals and Scholastic Action Citizenship, character, service, scholarship, and leadership — these are the five characteristics of the Honor Society member. To attain membership in the Delphian Chapter of the National Honor Society, a student must have an average of 4.0 at the end of his Sophomore year and an 3.8 at the end of his Junior year. Members of the Honor Society are eligible for National Honor Society scholarships which are award- ed to students ranking high on the qualifying tests. This year's Student Council proved quite successful. Various committees consisting of the 16 seniors, 12 ju- niors, and 8 sophomores sponsored the first annual Homecoming. It was a highly successful event, with pep rallies, talent shows, and a semi-formal dance. A victory over Pen Argyl's football team climaxed our first annual Homecoming Day. Initiated by the Council, a Student-Faculty Relations Committee was formed. This committee samples the opinions of both the students and teachers and tries to solve the problems confronted within the school system.

BAND DIRECTOR AUGUSTINE C. WEINHOFFER BAND OFFICERS: Librarians Susan Kern and Linda Hahn, Student Director Richard Heckman, Secretary Charlene Reinert, Quarter- master Craig Hunt, Treasurer James Kern. 170 BAND Heckman, Brodt, And Buss Receive Honors For thousands of years, musical instruments have been conveying people's feelings. Some of this year's students expressed modern ideas, while participating in the 1969—1970 band. In addition to presenting colorful halftime routines at football games, the marching band also performed in community parades. Under the direction of Augus- tine C. Weinhofer, the band practiced unlimited hours to present both a Spring Concert and a Summer Con- cert at the Nazareth Borough park. One of the most important services offered by this year's band was the boosting of our school spirit at pep rallies. The lively music stimulated the students. Our special Pep Band performed during the intermissions of home basketball games. Another special band event was the placing of Rich- ard Heckman, Joseph Buss, and Ralph Brodt in both District and Regional Bands. This year's District Band concert was held at Whitehall High School under the direction of Lieutenant-Commander Thomas Adcock of the Naval School of Music in Virginia. The Regional Band concert took place in Troy, PA with James Dun- lap, head of Penn State University's Blue Band serving as guest director. 1969—1970 MARCHING BAND — FRONT ROW: Dale Rcinert, Jerry Leh, Ralph Brodt, Lonnie Leh, Deborah Ste- vens, Reba Werkheiser, Dennis Klipplc, Scott Brodt, Jeanne Heintzelman.

Our school maintains its attractive appearance only because of the diligent efforts of these conscien- tious men and women. Their efforts result in clear floors, repaired plumbing, sanitized rooms and lavato- ries, and well-kept grounds. Aside from the daily jobs of sweeping halls, dusting rooms, and emptying waste baskets, the janitors also found time to fix leaking wa- ter fountains and other odd jobs. Smooth functioning of our lunch program is due to the efforts of the cafeteria staff. Mrs. Yolanda Burley, cafeteria manager, and the staff have the job of plan- ning and preparing a variety of nutritious meals every day. A change in the cafeteria system this year was made when students with huge appetites petitioned for the privilege of buying double lunch tickets.

Yeisley, Proprietor Nazareth, Pennsylvania 191 EPILOGUE To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven ... There was a time — nearly three years ago it was — when we were the despised sophomores. As sopho- mores we found time to be bold and brash and rowdy; we took time to aggravate our upperclassmen, simply because we were sophomores, and it was the season to be obnoxious. For what purpose is a sophomore, if not to be scorned by those who have, over the years, ceased to be sophomores. Sassy juniors, we flashed our new class rings confi- dently. We wrestled with demanding courses, yet emerged unscathed, if not wiser and stronger. By the second semester of our junior year many of us had begun flipping through college handbooks, taking College Boards, or seriously considering future job opportunities. And then it was the first day of the last year of school. We were so tense — our hands felt clammy and our voices sounded strange and wispy. Our senior year found us rebellious. We staged a moratorium on the dress code, we protested the new exam system. We despised teachers, realizing too late that they were only people, and that perhaps they real- ly did mean to help us. Somehow our world expanded and we knew that others existed and faced the same daily frustrations in Life that we did. But now it's too late, much too late. It's the last year; we're going to graduate; we're going to college; we're leaving; it's time for us to go. So the days have romped by, one upon the heels of that before it. There were times to laugh, to cry, to complain, and to enjoy; times to study and slave under the hot glare of desk lamps. Sometimes at games we would scream and plead with our players. If they won the game for us, we loved them fiercely, and displayed our pride like a bright banner; if they lost, we fell grim- ly silent, determined that we'd never lose again. There were times to question and to protest; to accept, to submit. And to every sadness or joy or anger of doubt, to every success or failure, to every act or thought, right or wrong, that we have ever committed, there has been a time and a purpose. One generation passeth away, and another genera- tion cometh, but the earth abideth forever. The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to his place where he arose. We cannot stand still here. We cannot always face behind us. We dare not lament what has passed, what we have lost. Nor dare we cherish too greatly what newly we have discovered. Rooted in the knowledge these years have given us, we must live the present to the utmost, yet keep an eye open to the future. For what our generation does will affect future generations far more profoundly than the activities of previous generations have affected us. JoAnn Lawrence
