I shall not look upon his like again.” William Shakespeare Each man is unique, and when he is no longer with us a void is left in the hearts of those who knew him. We must take consolation in the many things Richard Schmoyer left to us and the examples he set for us: his concern for both teachers and students, his willingness to help and to listen. his calmness and insight. and. perhaps above all. his attempts to teach life, not simply meaningless facts from a book, to his students. With sorrow and in deep appreciation for all that he has given to us, we dedicate the 1972 COMET to Mr. Richard Schmoyer. OM OPlfc Cot WTSiet f'Rc M ovT Aw tficA'j otp dedication dedication In this particular progression, the five circles represents a cycle, the eternal cycle from birth to death. Yet a student’s three years in high school is also a type of life cycle. Present are begin- nings, successes, failures, and end- ings. As he enters the school greets friends and teachers assim- ilates with the nine hundred other young adults passing through the same experiences, he makes his entry into the student’s society, is born” into a new and ever changing world. £ 0 f birth 6 To an outsider, the dominant aspect of school life is the high spirited energy of youth. Whether par- ticipating in our organized social events con- tributing to the voluntary activ- ities or simply gathering in some informal group of close friends, students naturally exhibit the active, out- going characteris- tics of youth. These traits play a large part in determining the climate of the school. 7 youth Even more important is the school’s major purpose: the preparation of the young for adulthood. This process continues constantly through class activities ... individual instruction ... cooperation among students ... self-help toward the development of mature personalities. Though individual courses may vary in subject matter or general intention, all instruction has this basic function at its core. 0 0 0 maturity 8 ...wCivea fab As the student follows the course to maturity, he automatically finds certain goals toward which he resolves to stride. Individuals work to attain divergent goals — better grades ... positions of leadership and responsibility . .. opportunities for expression and creativity the companionship of other such seekers. Like the peace found at the end of life, the satisfaction found in accomplishing these goals represents the true achievement crowning all efforts. 9 fulfillment 0 tuA accanet, cc Uuen zl... In the progression of circles, the smiling face occupies the central position. not by accident, but by design. The eternal search for happiness dominates each man’s life; it is by no means unimportant to the young. Although intrinsic exuberance triumphant successes ... simple personal enjoyment ... and even inquiries into the nature of human emotion all contribute to happiness, even in youth we must recognize that real contentment is composed of even deeper alliances — combinations of success and failures, youth and maturity, society and solitude. Happiness is a universal trait, but it must be built on all the existing values. n happiness circles and cycles 12 Birth. youth. maturity. death. and the vital central peace — a lifecycle is complete only if each phase develops sufficiently. Education, too. has its equivalent stages, and each occurs in the three year sophomore-to-senior cycle which, like life. repeats continually. This is the record of that uniquecycle belonging to the Class of 1972. cutetv � circles and cycles 14 Just as maturity is a significant as- pect of the adult personality, curric- ulum is the major consideration in school life. The analogy especially holds true when one realizes that each facet represents the more seri- ous portion of its stage. To merge these two ideas completely, youthful personalities and adult influences must work together. In high school curriculum, students and teachers cooperate in various ways to form mature minds for the future. 15 deciding a course BOARD OF EDUCATION OFFICERS President Gustave Fox Vice President William C. Broad Secretary Wilfred J. Sheetz Treasurer ...........................Daniel H. Ritter of action Behind any well-organi zed institute, there is a seldom seen group of people whose job requires making deci- sions which keep the organization running smoothly. In this respect, a high school is no different. Due to the complexities of managing a school system, a group of well-qualified men must be chosen. These men. commonly known as the School Board, are responsible for determining the financial position of the school dis- trict. for the hiring and the dismissal of school person- nel. and for solving any problems which might be en- countered during the course of the year. In essence, the School Board is the policy-making organization of the school district. Just as the School Board makes the decision. Herbert F. Cobley. the Superintendent of Schools, is responsible for carrying them out. As Superintendent, he is also faced with the responsibility of directing all the schools which fall under his jurisdiction. Preparing the school budget and making suggestions as to where the funds allotted should be used, are just two of the many duties designated to the Business Manager Wilfred J. Sheetz. Transportation of children to and from school, as well as providing buses for extracurricular activities, is an im- portant part of the functioning of a school. James Feath- er. the Administrative Assistant, is in charge of this facet of every day school life. Broni G. Krisukas. in his job as school psychologist, watches over the emotional welfare of each child and others his expert help wherever it is needed. RIGHT: WILFREO J.

Interested in aiding not only the student body but the entire community, the administration strives to create an interesting and useful prescribed course of study. Guiding the efforts of the capable administrative staff is Frederick C. Benfield. principal of Nazareth Senior High School. As principal, he acts as a diplomat both in com- municating the needs of the school to higher officials and in dealing with any difficulties arising between teachers and students, while adding a personal touch to his undertakings. In dealing mainly with disciplinary problems. Vice Princi- pal Adam Shekletski. second in command, is charged with reprimanding and penalizing students for any not- able infraction of the rules, and checking the validity of student excuses for absenteeism. In addition to divising a well-coordinated course of study, there is also a need for counseling students regarding what subjects should be taken and how special talents can be put to future use. Guidance counselors Robert Reichard and Marlyn Roth aid students with these prob- lems by administering special tests to determine aca- demic achievement and to discover for what vocation each student is best suited. They also assist students in acquiring employment and in selecting institutes in which to further their education. Student health, another concern for administrative per- sonnel. is watched closely by the school nurse. Geraldine Messina. Though various eye and ear tests administered by Mrs. Messina to all students, abnormalities can be found and corrected before any serious damage is done. Alleviating some of the pressures placed on the adminis- tration through their accurate typing, the issuing of late passes, and by making up absentee lists, as well as other services, is our clerical staff consisting of Laura Harding. Joyce Flowers, and Paula Wambold. ADAM E.

I am convinced that the growth and improvement of our political and social stature is in direct proportion to the importance we place on develop- ment of responsibility as well as the protection of individual rights. Students as well as teachers must join in a program that will guarantee the orderly operation of a school so that the honest freedom of all can be realized. MR. AND MRS. ROBERT B. REICHARD robert b. reichard retires as school’s guidance counselor With the closing of the 1971-1972 school term also comes the end of a career which Robert B. Reichard has dedicated to the students at Nazareth Area Senior High School. After years of planning thousands of student schedules, processing countless college applications, and still finding time to give sympathetic understanding to even the smallest problem. Mr. Reichard will retire in June. Robert Reichard was graduated from Whitehall High School in 1931 and received his undergraduate degree from Kutztown State College. In 1943 he received an M.A. degree from Lehigh University and in 1955 was cer- tified in guidance counseling. Beginning his teaching career in a one-room country school in Moore Township. Mr. Reichard came to Naza- reth to teach grades five and six in the Fairview School in 1938. He moved to the Junior High School in the Old North Broad Street School in 1943 and remained there teaching civics and English until 1955 when he moved to the Senior High School to teach Problems of Democracy and to serve as Guidance Counselor. He became full-time counselor in 1956 when the Senior High School moved into its new building. When asked about his past reflections. Mr. Reichard said. “Obviously the most satisfying experience over many years in school work is the accomplishment of our grad- uates both in occupational and college successes. As recent as 1954 only 6 to 7 per cent of a class would enter post high school education, while today the percentage ranges between 50 and 60. Looking back over the years, educational changes from one year to the next do not seem great, however, when one compares the facilities over the 1930’s with the one-room country school to the magnificent physical plants of today, the difference is most significant. Every student in Nazareth Area Senior High School is deeply indebted to Mr. Reichard for the unselfish hours and many acts of kindness and guidance he has devoted to our student body. Everyone joins the Comet staff in wishing both Mr. and Mrs. Reichard best wishes for healthy and happy years of retirement. 21 retirement Listening to the rules of grammer taught by J. F. Knecht in his third period English class is Frederick George. After reviewing these rules, members of the class will be expected to be able to use them in practi- cal applications.

In addition, the infor- mal atmosphere helps students overcome their fear of public speaking. increasing our communication with others To better understand the ideas of others and to express our own thoughts more effectively, a firm foundation in English is an absolute necessity. This is one reason why English is a required subject for every sophomore, ju- nior. and senior at Nazareth Area Senior High School. Spearheaded by J. Frederic Knecht. department chair- man. the English department tries to prepare students for the future by helping and encouraging the students to perfect their speaking and writing abilities, while also opening their minds to the works of great authors. Grammar is perhaps the most important phase in the study of any language; therefore, at the beginning of every year each student is given a grammar review which continues approximately two months. Consisting of rec- ognizing different parts of speech, various types of sen- tence structures, and different forms of punctuation, this review is designed to refresh the student's memory and to cover any point of grammar previously untouched. Throughout the year, students put this knowledge of grammar into practice as they begin to write book re- ports. formal and informal essays, expositions, and themes. As they advance in years, they are expected to progress in their writing through the use of guidelines given to them by their respective teachers and finally by the end of twelfth grade, develop their own unique style of writing.

Alan Miller at- tempts to help students in Reading class increase their word power by playing word games, such as Scrabble and RSVP. by voicing ideas and opinions In order to develop their own talents as writers, students must be exposed to the writings of great authors. In their sophomore year, students become acquainted with the works of writers from all countries. Short stories, poems, and novels of well-known American authors such as Twain. Poe. and Hawthorne are introduced in the stu- dent's junior year, while British authors and their works are studied in the senior year. Ancient Foundations, a study of Roman and Greek literary works, is introduced in junior English and continued in the senior year. Rounding out the remainder of the year is the study of William Shakespeare, considered to be one of the great- est playwrights who ever lived. Each year one of Shake- speare's plays is studied along with some background material on Shakespeare and the Elizabethan stage.

In any formilized study of society, the instructor func- tions basically as the student's guide through his person- al observations. At Nazareth Area Senior High School, the members of the social studies department are well aware of this fact, conducting their classes according to the needs of the students. This department's requirements for graduation are rela- tively rigid. A minimum of three social studies credits must be earned by each student following a sequence of World Cultures in his sophomore year. American History in his junior year, and Problems of Democracy in his se- nior year. Although more credits are required in this area than in most others, the regulation is made in proportion to the courses' universal importance; rather than provid- ing specialized training, the social studies department proposes to help every student understand himself through an understanding of society. To facilitate research and individual study, many sources of reference are made available. The large num- ber of films and filmstrips shown before entire classes are designed to stimulate original thinking. In addition, such publications as the American Observer and Ameri- can Heritage magazines, as well as library sources, are used on all levels to increase students' opportunities for their explorations of social science. These materials help the teacher place a major emphasis on academic self-re- liance. A prime example of a social studies course in which a student must depend on his own resources is Problems of Democracy. Although students and teachers conduct thorough classroom discussions on various topics, the individual is expected to complete relevant questions on his own. As supplementary material, daily news reports are required in several classes: prepared outside the classroom, these strengthen the student's understand- ing of current problems which may affect his future. Whether classroom participation or outside research is concerned, the student himself must assume the major responsibility for a successful study. ABOVE; QUENTIN ZELL Problems of Democracy.

Courses in World Cultures. American History, and Geog- raphy help students form the basis for adequate under- standing of social problems. World Cultures, the first course in the sequence, concen- trates on comparisons of the modern world's varying cultures. By tracing the history of each major civiliza- tion. students become familiar with the roots of present- day international relationships and internal problems. In addition, interested students are given many opportuni- ties to investigate each culture's significant technologi- cal. philosophical, and artistic contributions on an inde- pendent basis. In American History, the focus of the curriculum shifts to the development of the United States over the past century. The first few weeks of the course provide ample time for a sound review of United States history before the Civil War; at this time, the Constitution and its sup- porting documents are also analyzed. The remainder of the year is used to study American politics and thought from the post-Civil War period to the present day. As a supplement to these required courses, the social studies department offers an elective Geography course designed to increase students' familiarity with various locations. This course might also be considered an ex- tension of World Cultures, since many foreign peoples and their customs are studied. The past and the present often seem to merge when one is concerned with human society. In this sequence of social studies, both branches of knowledge bear equal importance; yet together they only contribute to the department's major objective; the training of the student for life in the world of tomorrow.

Ronald Lewis answers stu- dents’ questions on a recent American Cultures lesson social studies gaining comprehension of a technological society Wherever his physical surroundings have been con- cerned. man has always sought the answers to two basic questions: how and why. Especially in modern times when industry and the products of technology dominate society, the need to understand the physical world mat- ters greatly to every human being. The key to compre- hension lies with the fields of organized knowledge known collectively as science. At Nazareth Area Senior High School, the science department instructs students in the fundamental and advanced scientific knowledge required fora practical understanding. The study of living organisms plays an important part in the complete science program. In Biology I. the student learns the basics of anatomy in both plant and animal life. A more advanced phase of the subject is explored in Biology II; this course includes detailed dissections and intensive microscope study of various cells and tissues. Nevertheless, the inorganic sciences are also well repre- sented in this department. Basic courses in Earth and Space Science and Physical Science provide general training for those students who do not plan to continue detailed scientific study. On a higher college preparatory level, the department offers a course in Physics, in which forces and their effects on matter are studied. Physics, usually taken in the junior year, may be used as prepara- tion for senior Chemistry. The two courses form a foun- dation for advanced college work in these areas. The world of the twentieth century is based on technolo- gy. which is really only the practical application of scien- tific knowledge. Biological functions, chemical reac- tions. and physical forces — all these have important places in science, and. in their technological uses, all contribute to man’s environment. By studying them, everyone can gain a deeper insight into his surroundings. RIGHT: ADAM SHEKLETSKI. Vice Principal Chemistry. science 30 LEONARD BAST Biology I. II.

In its various forms, this branch of or- ganized science may help students improve their skill in numerical computations, develops spatial capabilities, or understand more clearly the calculations used in sci- ence. Yet these functions should not obliterate the major purpose of mathematics: to teach man a logical and rea- sonable procedure for thought and practical problem solving. As in science, some study in mathematics is included in every student's program, for one credit from this depart- ment is required for graduation. Many secretarial and business students fill this requirement by taking courses in Business Math and Bookkeeping, which are included under the business department. Also available are reme- dial courses on all grade levels for those students who have had little background in mathematics. In addition, the members of this department offer elementary and advanced college preparatory training in such courses as Algebra. Geometry. Trigonometry. Probability and Sta- tistics. Advanced Math, and Calculus. Whether his study involves elementary algebra or ad- vanced calculus, its ultimate value appears in the sense of logic he develops. Transforming hypothetical reading problems in workable equations represents the first step in mathematical problem solving: after this, calculations leading to a solution are made. This basic process is employed daily in all academic subjects, as well as in the adult world. The extended use of mathematics in other areas helps the student establish his own patterns of thought. In trigonometry students are trained to work without constant depend- ence on formal class instruction. Victor Kocher and Roger Kares deo- monstrate this method of learning as they collaborate on solving a complex problem. 33 mathematics BELOW: EVELYN KILPATRICK Business Arithmetic. striving to perfect business techniques Accuracy, comprehension, and dependability comprise only three of the business-minded student's major goals. While a stenographer must be accurate in grammar, spelling, and punctuation, the bookkeeper and record keeper must do precise work with accounts and ledgers as well. Those interested in business education must have an understanding of what their goal is and why they are trying to attain it. After a certain of development is achieved, no matter what field of business is undertaken, dependability is expected. An office practice student, for example, is required to complete his assignments by a certain date or a failing grade is given. The demands result is proper training since there always exists a deadline in professional sec- retarial work. Having successfully completed various courses of busi- ness theory and practice, the students feel they are qual- ified to assume their first established position. Before graduation, many of them begin to investigate job op- portunities in thier selected branches of business. business 34 BELOW: ROY MILLER Bookkeeping I. II: Recordkeeping. ABOVE: BELVA KOLESSAR.

While much of the curriculum in other departments is preoccupied with American society, teachers of foreign languages open their students' minds to other cultures. This purpose is accomplished by a program consisting of several steps. The first two years of French and German concentrate on developing good grammar and a wide vocabulary; in addition, foreign language publications and some literature are introduced. French III and Ger- man III stress culture in conjunction with reading mate- rial. while the more advanced courses (French IV. Ger- man IV. and German V) help the student perfect his skill in oral work and composition. The library also expands the students’ understanding of other cultures: however, as the school's major source of reference materials, it supplies information on every subject. Although library space was cramped by con- struction for the major part of the year, librarian Frances Cercek and her assistant. Ruth Anderson, continued complete library services. With its extensive collection of books, periodicals, pamphlets, and filmstrips, the library has aided the language department, as well as all the others, in broadening in student's total educational experience. Head librarian Frances Cersek attempts to answer the questions posed by Janet Happel regarding the location of various books. Miss Cersek is always willing to help students get the most use out of the library. 37 library preparing students for immediate employment Designed especially for those students who prefer to work with their hands and desire to learn a trade for immediate use. the Vocational-Technical course offers the student practical, on-the-job experience. After spend- ing part of the school day at the high school studying the required high school subjects. Vo-Tech students pass the remainder at the Vocational-Technical School following their chosen course of study. Most of the twenty-two course offerings are open to all high school grade levels and continue for a period of three years. Courses range from carpentry, auto me- chanics. and electrical technology for boys to cosmetol- ogy. data processing, and horticulture for both boys and girls. Each course is designed to instruct students in ev- ery facet of their intended career including the common pitfalls and how to avoid them. Many qualified seniors participate in the co-op” pro- gram where area employers agree to hire vocational technical students and provide them with learning expe- rience. Regardless of the course studied, many employ- ment opportunities exist for Vo-Tech students after graduation.

In Industrial Art and Home Economics not only are the ef- fects immediately but longlasting as well. In hopes of helping to develop the talents necessary in the success of a good wife and mother or an efficient career woman, the Home Economics course is designed to teach girls the fundamentals of sewing, cooking, child care, and making a house a home. Current fads such as macrame’ are taught as well as the standard crocheting and knitting. Not only can the girls make use of these things immediately after they're made, but the methods used in making them still remain. In the Industrial Arts classes, stereo tape racks, cabinets, and smaller items are fashioned out of wood and metal from designs the boys themselves make in their mechan- ical drawing class. These skills can be most valuable in constructing their own homes in the future. Student safety is an important concern in every industrial art class. Protective eye gear. cap. and apron similiar to those worn by Donald Donello must be worn by members of the class at all times. CATHERINE KUNKLE.

Both the boys and girls physical educa- tion classes in the fall and the spring of the school year occupy themselves with such outside activities as arch- ery. soccer, tennis, and softball. During the winter months, the boys learned the fine art of wrestling and gymnastics, while the girls were trained in the use of the trampoline, the balance beam, and other gymnastic equipment. In an effort to increase the variety of activi- ties. co-ed gym classes were formed and introduced to various forms of folk and square dancing. driver education Just as physical education class promotes physical dex- terity. driver education class carries it one step further. Besides teaching the manual skill necessary in driving an automobile, auto maintenance is also stressed in thirty hours of classroom instruction. Civil defense instruction is also added to the agenda in the spring of the year. GARY R. THORNE Physical Education: Basketball Coach. Assistant Track Coach. GUY R.

First place award winner Randall Marsh, and Second place winner Steve Broad received honors for their high scores in the Mathematics Contest. Considering the number of underclassmen who are re- ceiving awards and recognition this year, one doesn't worry about the status of the school for the next two years. The achievements of the sophomores and juniors range from honors in math and French to awards for excellence in sewing and art. This recognition is apparent in both academic and elec- tive courses. In any field of study, the time and effort put into the final product is deserving of acclaim. Cutting out a pattern, the care and perfection practiced in assem- bling a garment, or the patience required in painting a picture involves just as much skill and talent as the memorization of formulas in math or the idioms and tenses in French. Both processes are truly worthy of the recognition which they have attained. ART AWARDS — FRONT ROW: Lynn Dilliard. Ralph Lichtenwalner. Bonnie Sousa. Eileen Magditch. and Lori Lichtenwalner.

Talent Show Day came at last. With rumors flying that this show held promise of the unusual, stu- dents dismissed their usual apathetic attitude toward assembly and raced to the auditorium. With a smashing impact, the Kaboonies launched the program and assured us that our hopes were not in vain. With the stage now set for what was to be a tremendous hour packed with fun and entertainment, emcees Thom- as Franczak and Robert Keck presented one of their hi- larious Smothers Brothers interpretations.

Tommy and the Torpe- does came on and. with greased hair, white socks, and old music, transported everyone to the 1950's. Following tradition, the girls screamed, and the group played and danced through three encores. The final thrill of the morning was the special appearance by Kirk Hamm as Johnny Love. The Torpedoes were the hit of the pro- gram. and. by general consensus, this year's talent show proved to be the best assembly program in all our high school years. talent show 122 Three rock groups — The Kaboonies. the Cheap Thrills, and Tommy and the Torpedoes, sent the entire assembly into a state of euphonic excitement.

As spirit mounted and enthusiasm was aroused to an all-time high pitch. Mr. Irresistible Bruce Remaley placed the crown on the head of the radiant Queen. Mr. Irresistible won his title by accumulating the largest number of Hush Pins, which were worn by all the senior girls. If a girl spoke to a senior football player during the day. she had to relinquish her Hush Pin. Bruce was able to acquire 27 Hush Pins. Students were entertained and danced to the music of the Crowd.” Prior to the football game, a rousing parade formed at the center of town, screamed down Belvidere and Liberty Streets, and massed at the football field. Sophomore, junior and senior floats were proudly unveiled. Our Homecoming Queen, her court, our cheerleaders, and hundreds of spirited fans sparked the enthusiasm of all.

Painting signs and posters, finding costumes, re- hearsing for skits and assemblies, constructing the floats and decorating our homerooms were only a few of the activities contributing to the success of the Home- coming spirit. Beginning with the formal assembly on Friday morning, the festivities were keynoted with an inspirational speech by Attorney Conrad Shimer. Following a display of the senior football players beauty, poise, and talent, a panel of judges chose our Miss Boom Boom. 1971. During the second assembly, students were thrown into a mild state of schock as the teachers presented their portion of the talent show. The surprise and response to the musical talents of our teachers was overwhelming. Our Homecoming theme — Those Were the Days” was presented in a humorous skit depicting life as a teen-ager in the 1940'$. Songs, cheers, shouting, and laughter set the stage for the big game the fol- lowing morning. As a featured attraction of the Homecoming Assembly, a beauty pag eant was staged by the senior members of the football team.

President Kent Heckman. student council plans unsupervised study periods One of the most tangible accomplishments of the Stu- dent Council was the establishment of a system for greater freedom in study hall policy. After hours of re- searching the problem and presenting a finalized plan to the faculty, approval was finally granted during the sec- ond semester for students to take advantage of unsuper- vised study halls. While some work remains to be done before a permanent policy is adopted, students generally enjoyed the newly-acquired privilege. Under the leadership of Kent Heckman, the council planned various activities for the student body. Two school dances were planned and sponsored, the sale of school memorabilia and a very successful sale of Blue Eagle sweaters took up much of the Council's time. For the second consecutive year, a cash donation out of council funds was made to the Nazareth Y.M.C.A. A gen- erous gift of a fine copying machine to the new library was one of the special presentations by the Council. At the election held in April. William Sommers was elect- ed Student Council president for the 1972-73 school term. One of the very successful projects was the sale of Blue Eagle sweaters.

Diane Nottle. Loretta Nem- chik. and Anne Noversel make their final decisions. Early in September, a group of beginners got together to face the gigantic task of publishing a yearbook. After get- ting a quick lesson how to use equipment like the scaleo- graph. how to take pictures, design layouts, write copy, captions, and headers, the staff had to establish a stand- ard layout and a style of type. One of the major decision of the Comet Staff in earlier part of the year involved the choice of a contemporary theme for the yearbook. The cover design, which was selected from a number of illus- trations by Linda Nattress. was the basis for our theme. Circles and Cycles. After starting on the main areas, the staff coupled up and worked on the various sections. These included: Forming layouts, picking pictures, writing captions, cop- ies. and headers, and making sure all of the viewpoints of each section were displayed. Members of the staff and its adviser. Mrs. Kolessar. enjoyed times of friendly conver- sation. lectures, and very hard work, but when the dead- line arrived, effort was put forth and work was always completed and ready for the publisher. Staff members LeAnne Kulp. Tom Overholt and Jim Melick. use their creativity and imagination to try to display to the reader an overall view of their assigned sections. Linda Nattress designs the cover for the 1972 yearbook. After the staff approved her creation. Linda displayed her artistic talent by exhibiting a painted copy of the design. yearbook 134 To make sure that only the best pictures are chosen, the staff consults one another for different views and suggestions.

Although the staff admits to a lot of work, they also remember a lot of fun. 135 yearbook seniors attain recognition in many areas During any school year, there is always a certain group of students who attain recognition in various fields. While the students who participate in the athletic pro- gram are more likely to gain recognition, scholastic achievement certainly does not go unnoticed. The Class of '72 is certainly no exception to this fact. Areas of citizenship, scholarship, art. music, and talent in creative writing are among the many fields recognized during the year. Rewards for these accomplishments vary from mone- tary gifts to certificates. The lasting remembrance of accomplishment of a commendable service is indeed gratifying.

Ml choirs senior class festival brings excitement confusion and fun Step right this way — three darts for a quarter — win a candy bar — fish for a prize. Our colorful festival, with lots of noise, millions of kids, and self-styled carnival experts, was the most successful class festival in many years. Pizza, hot dogs, hamburgers, ice cream and soda, foot- ball throw, basketball stands, and cake stands were maintained by seniors who had visions of an all-expen- ses-paid senior class trip resulting from the profits of the evening. Under the guidance of the Committee Chairmen, the class officers, and adviser Mrs. Dyvonne Nevil. with the generous assistance of Mr. Nevil. the initial stages of chaos and confusion offered no hope of a successful project. However, as the evening hours approached, the colorful stands, manned with expert auctioneers and a variety of merchandise and refreshments, had all the indications of a well-organized event. Clean-up committees worked long into the night, and by early Sunday the last evidence of the gala party had fad- ed away, leaving memories of a fun-filled, successful class festival. After a long day of preparation, some seniors relax for a few moments before the hectic activities of the evening begin. One of the senior class clowns. Sally Hunt, gets ready to add an extra attraction to the festival program with her sale of balloons. Senior boys and girls practice their culinary skills in preparing the hot dogs and hamburgers. This booth was one of the most profitable stands of the festival. festival 142 Without the patience and advice of senior class adviser Ms. Dyvonne Nevil. the class could never have survived the ups and downs of the year’s activities. Ms. Nevil’s cheerfulness and willingness to give up countless of her busy hours will always be appreciated. Senior class members worked long hours on the morning of the festi- val to set up booths, equip the refreshment stands, and assemble the merchandise.

A. Marcks Building Auditorium. Under the direction of Alan Miller and student directors Janet Hap- pel and Marcia Mcllhaney. the play was an amusing comedy dealing with the turmoil and frustrations that confront the family of a bride. Terry Walizer portrayed the harassed father of the bride, and was concerned mainly with the rapid deterioration of his once-stable bank account. Sandy Frantz, who was the mother in the production, was more or less socially concerned. Her problems were centered around the growing invitation list, her wardrobe, and frenzied shop- ping trips. Of courcc there were the ever-present broth- ers. who had been completely neglected and lost in the last-minute preparations. Because the actors and actresses gave their lines person- al twists in order to turn a marital dilemna into a rolick- ing comedy, the production was a huge success and The Stage Left players scored a hit. drama club 144 Director Alan Miller attempts to coach the giggling couple.

The Future Teachers and Future Homemakers of America activities gives the student the experience of teaching in a classroom situation or preparing them for a future vocation. The Political Club tries to acquaint the student with the workings of local and federal govern- ment and studies the functions of political parties. Main function of the French Club is to broaden the cul- tural background of the students and this group also sponsors an annual trip to New York City. The Stagecraft Club constructs the props and settings for plays and concerts. This year the Pep Club sponsored buses to out- of-town games and also decorated the halls and buses to stimulate school spirit. RIGHT: POLITICAL CLUB EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE - FRONT ROW: Nancy Hess.

Primarily, its purpose is the presentation of student affairs in an interesting and comprehensive form. In addition, however, the newspaper gives interest- ed students experience in writing news, features, and sports articles and provides a basis for the work of the journalism class. Produced mainly by twenty-three journalism class members and volunteer reporters, the newspaper is printed in cooperation with the print shop at the Eastern Northampton County Vocational-Technical School. After reporters complete their assigned articles, the editoral staff makes all corrections and rewrites before forward- ing the copy to the printers for column setting. Upon its return the staff lays out the material on manila sheets in its final position.

The play was under the directions of Mrs. Prentis Halla- day and Mr. Alan Miller and student directors Kathleen Viglione and Diane Notte. The numerous rehearsals and the unending memorization proved successful with a full house on Saturday night. “The Mouse That Roared is a humorous story about the little country of Grand Fenwick who needed money to finance their lone wine industry. In order to get this money they decided to attack the United States in broad daylight with bows and arrows. They naturally expected to be captured and brought under the control of the United States.

After what seemed like a never-to-end day of classes, and frantic hair appointments and car washing, the perfect evening hours began with a dinner served in the hotel dining room. Following the meal, which received only a few moans and groans, couples danced to the music of the “Big City Music Band.” a group well-received by ev- eryone in attendance. Tension began to build as the midnight hour approached when the junior class president Gary Hoffman would announce the queen and her court. Despite aching and tired feet, the entire dance floor was crowded all evening. The final special feature of the evening was the surprise playing of an original song which the Big City Band com- posed and dedicated to the 1972 Prom.

Draping the walls of the ballroom were giant red straw- berries. The most attractive feature of the decorations was the queen's throne and its background. The Queen was seated on a huge paper mache' strawberry with a strawberry field and a rainbow behind her. Every girl attending the prom was presented with a mini- ature basket filled with strawberries and flowers and a program describing the events of the evening. Every table had strawberry candles for a centerpiece. To add the finishing touch, a special dessert of strawberry short- cake was served at midnight. The hard work of the junior committee and many hours of planning for the prom was well worth the effort, for everyone agrees that this year's prom was a great success. Everyone at the prom agreed that the music was one of the major fac- tors of the prom's success. The dance floor was crowded the entire evening. 161 prom fernwood chosen as class trip site Fernwood In the Pocono Mountains” was the destina- tion of the senior class, armed with swimming suits, tow- els. tennis rackets, and a change of clothing for dinner, as they boarded the buses early on June 13. Upon their arrival at the resort and after the assigning of rooms where they could store their gear and dress for dinner, the seniors were free to take advantage of any of the activities offered by Fernwood. Some chose the bright sunshine to get a tan and take a leisurely swim in the outdoor pool, while others browsed through the gift shops or spent the entire morning at the movies. The more athletically inclined found that horseback riding, softball, volleyball, tennis, handball, archery, or golfing were more their style. At noon the resort offered a picnic luncheon of chicken- in-the-basket and cokes, which many of the seniors fol- lowed by rowboating, bicycling, hiking, or visiting the game arcade. A prime ribs of beef dinner and dancing to a popular Rock and Roll Dance Band marked the end of a fun-filled, exhausting day. By 10:30 that evening, five busloads of happy seniors were headed for home. Dining and Dancing in the Astor Room proved to be the highlight of the entire trip. After a marvelous dinner, the seniors danced and lis- tened to the music provided by a popular rock group. Those seniors who enjoy playing tennis found the many clay courts at Fernwood exactly to their liking. All-day-long exhausting games of ten- nis were played, to make scenes like this commonplace. class trip 162 Of all the activities enjoyed by the seniors, swimming in Fernwood's luxurious outdoor pool was by far the most popular.

During the night hours, the custodians help guard against any possible vandalism which might be done to the school. Another group trying to make the senior high school a more comfortable and enjoyable place to learn and work is the cafeteria staff. Under the direction of Cafeteria manager Yolanda Burley, the staff prepares hearty, warm, and nutricious lunches each day. Students who purchase weekly lunch tickets can enjoy these lunches in the new cafeteria, while teachers can eat their lunches in either the new cafeteria or the newly installed teachers' lounge adjacent to the cafeteria.

As he progresses fromlchild- hood to adulthood, he learns to de- velop his body through active games and sports. The importance of phys- ical exercise to health is reflected by its prominent position in school ac- tivities. To the student, the sports program often provides as well a means of self-expression and of accomplishment 169 cheerleaders devote time and effort Many people feel that a cheerleader's life is one of glory and prestige. But really she must spend a great deal of her time in working on new cheers and in perfecting the old ones. The cheerleaders spend everyday last period in the gym practicing the cheers and the gymnastic skills necesary for certain stunts. They also spend time draw- ing pictures and cutting letters to make the hoops through which the players run. For every match or game this school year, the cheerleaders have made a hoop with a different idea. In addition to these time-consuming duties, the cheer- leaders must devote some time to their schoolwork and maintain a good average. Everyone should recognize these cheerleaders for their drive and industriousness. Dressed In the style of the cheerleaders of the fifties, the girls led an enthusiastic crowd in the cheers from that period. The cheerleaders did much to make the Homecoming Assembly a success.

However, there is always an out- standing performance by a few players who earn a spot in the limelight. There is prestige and honor involved in winning any one of these awards, but one must also think of the time and effort involved in this achievement — long and tiring practices, memorization and continual drilling of plays, and a keen sense of perception. Our football, basketball, and wrestling teams, did not win any championships or league titles, but they did produce some outstanding performers. We are proud of their ef- fort. and know that every athlete did his best. BRUCE REMALEY. LEN MESSINGER. ROBERT ABEL.

The large crowd in Read- ing's Albright Stadium was impressed by the Nazareth team, which gave the always-tough Mustangs a battle before dropping a 7-0 decision. Because of a teachers' strike at Saucon Valley. Nazareth won by a forfeit 1-0. With an extra week of practice, the Big Blue clashed with Lehighton. In the first half Naza- reth's defense stopped the Indians cold, while the offen- sive unit scored three times. After the two Lehighton scores, the Eagle defense dug in to bury the last Indian driveand secure the triumph. Despite the fact that Whitehall scored on the first series of downs. Nazareth dominated the remainder of the ac- tion by scoring four times and stopping the Whitehall offensive unit. This victory ended the Zephyers’ unbeat- en streak. Parkland, the fifth opponent of the season, surprised the Eagles and their fans by quickly taking a lead and hold- ing on to it for a 20-6 win.

Nazareth put everything together in a 30-0 rout of the Bangor Slaters. A.S.Leh Stadium came alive again on November 6 when we met Northampton for the first home game with the Konkrete Kids in many years. The Kids avenged last year’s upset, but not without a tough defensive struggle. Nazareth's defense remained strong for East Strouds- burg. The Cavaliers scored soon after they received the opening kickoff, but the Eagles quickly recovered with a touchdown of their own. Another Nazareth score estab- lished a lead which was never lost. Our annual Thanksgiving classic with archrival Wilson was postponed two days because of bad weather. Although our offense started strongly, the Wilson de- fense stiffened and the game ended in a 15-6 defeat for Nazareth. TRI-CAPTAINS for the 1971 season are Robert Abel.

The attendance at the matches this year has surpassed that of any previous year. Since the home matches this year were played at the relatively small Junior High gym. there was always a full house and some fans had to stand or sit on the floor. The Eagles had a good start with a win against the Le- highton Indians with a score of 30-19. The next match, against Phillipsburg, was supposed to be at home but. because of the large crowd expected, was played at the neutral Wilson gym. There, in an exciting match, the Ea- gles were defeated by the Stateliners 31-21. Although they came back with a win 43-10 against Palisades, they were defeated the next match by Easton. They only other defeats were Saucon Valley. Wilson, and Liberty. HEAD COACH RAY NUNAMAKER. FRESHMAN COACH STEPHEN KU LICKI.

There were many outstanding wrestlers this season including heavy- weight Gib Bastian. Dave Schreck at 103 pounds, and Joe Skutches at 112 pounds. Gib's record was 13-1 with his only loss to Lehighton's George Barkanic. Dave Schreck also had an excellent 12-2 record and he was also a dis- trict runner-up. Joe Skutches had a 7-1-1 varsity record and he became a district champion. This year, because of the large number of participating teams in the Lehigh-Northampton League, the League was split into a northern and a southern division. Since no one team could play all the other teams in their league in one season, the League champion was deter- mined by the Sectional Tournament Finals. Since Naza- reth came in second in that tournament, the Eagles were actually in second place in the League. An outstanding performer in the Sectional Tournament held at Wilson High School was junior Mike Mihalik. Mike defeated highly favored Sam Crivellaro who last year was a district contender. Another good show was given by junior Russel Lerch, who took over at the last minute for ailing heavyweight Gib Bastian. He took second place in the League and qualified for the District tournament. Other District qualifiers were League Champions Dave Schreck and Joe Skutches. and runners-up Randy Miller and Steve Keck. Gib Bastian’s Liberty opponent seems at a loss, but he and Gib battled it out for three periods with neither gaining points other than a neutral each. With the score tied. Gib won through a point for time advantage. Here in a varsity match against Liberty. Joe Skutches again defeats his opponent. Joe did very well on varsity with a 7-1-1 record, and he later became a district champion and a regional runner-up. 183 wrestling mat maids help to boost team morale There was a new addition to the wrestling squad this year — the Mat Maids. A few other schools have had them, and Coach Nunamaker felt that it would be a good idea to have them here at Nazareth. This year’s Mat Maids were nine girls who had many duties. Before home meets they helped set up the chairs and scoring tables, and they also handed out programs to the incoming specta- tors. During the matches, each girl had a special job. such as keeping individual scores on the board, keeping the official score, or keeping the time. When not doing these jobs, the Mat Maids cheered on their wrestlers. The girls also went to the away matches and helped keep score and boost team spirit. At the end of the season, everyone, including Mr. Nuna- maker. the wrestlers, and the Mat Maids themselves were happy with the way everything worked. It has been decid- ed to have the Mat Maids again next year, and there will be many more jobs for them to do in our new gym.

Several juniors gained varsity experience and will be part of the much-improved 1972-73 squad. Our Junior Varisty team finished with a 14 and 6 record.

Following a loss to Saucon Valley, the Eagles dropped two close matches in a row to Wilson and Pocono Mountain. An experimental triangular meet against Bangor and Palisades proved to be a tremendous success for Naza- reth. The Blue Eagles turned in their best performance of the season in taking first place by a wide margin. The last meet of the season, against league co-champion Parkland, was the closest of the year. Nazareth carried a one-point lead in to the final event, the mile relay. How- ever. Parkland's relay team won the event and the meet. The Lehigh-Northampton League Meet was held at Leh Stadium.

The Konkrete Kids were strong again this year as the cold weather and the cold Nazareth hitting resulted in a 13-0 Blue Eagle defeat. Saucon Valley was the next adversary on the Eagle Schedule. The Eagles loaded the bases in the last inning, but the Panthers ended the rally with a double play to safeguard their 2-0 shutout. Nazareth started the league competition at Pleasant Val- ley. The Big Blue ended their scoring drought by combin- ing five hits and good hustle to bring home a 3-1 victory.

Nazareth became the sole leader in the northern division of the Lehigh-Northampton League by shutting out Pen Argyl 4-0. The Eagle’s pitching staff continued to per- form superbly as a one-hitter was recorded against the Green Knights. Our first league loss came at the hands of the Bangor Slaters. Although Bangor had only four hits, they were coupled with two Nazareth errors all in the third inning. The result was a 3-0 defeat for the Big Blue. A 3-2 loss at the hands of East Stroudsburg knocked the Eagles out of first place. The game was a 2-2 deadlock until the Cavaliers squeezed the winning run across in the eighth inning.

Rain delayed the Nazareth-Pocono Mountain game, but when the game did start, the Eagles were ready. The Big Blue jumped to a 11-0 lead by the third inning, and coast- ed to a 15-2 victory. Our next two opponents were Jim Thrope and Pen Argyl. The Olympians proved to be tough again, but the Eagles came back for a 5-3 win. Against the Knights, the Big Blue played a strong game to win 12-4. Going into the last week of the season, there was a three way tie for first place with Nazareth. Bangor, and East Stroudsburg. The Eagles faced Bangor at the beginning of the week, and East Stroudsburg at the end. The Slaters held a 1-0 lead until the sixth inning when Nazareth scored two runs to knock Bangor out of the race. Now it was up to the Eagles and the Cavaliers to battle for the Northern Division title. This year the Cavaliers were not to be denied. It was a close 5-3 game until the Eagles gave up eight runs in the last inning to lose 13-3. 195 baseball golf team build for optimistic future With only one senior the young Blue Eagle golf team still improved last year's record. The 1972 season began with a victory over Pocono Mountain. The next match was a defeat to Parkland by an 8V2 to 6V2 score. Saucon Valley completely outclassed the Eagle golfers before Nazareth recorded a 9-6 triumph over Wilson. Nazareth alternated wins and losses for the remainder of the campaign, with the victories coming over Pen Argyl and East Stroudsburg. The league Tournament was a success for the Blue Ea- gles. Junior Dean Rader tied for second place in the sec- ond flight, sophomore Phil Edwards won the third flight, and freshman Jamie Paukovitch took first place n the fourth flight. Dean Rader represented Nazareth in the District Tournament. Although the golf team had a 4-5 record, the many out- standing underclassmen will have a successful season next year.

Although the score against Parkland was not close, several matches were hard-fought, going beyond the usual two sets. Jeff Eberts provided the Eagles' sole win in the match against William Allen, which followed another rout of Pen Argyl. Two disappointing matches followed, losses to Freedom and Easton. An easy win over Bethlehem Catholic and a hotly contested victory over Whitehall prepared Nazareth for the season finale. Powerful Phillipsburg. however, never gave the Eagles a chance as the Stateliners rolled 7-0. With only two squad members graduating, the Blue Eagle netmen can look forward to another successful season in 1973. LEFT: COACH EDWARD CHRISTMAN.

Benefitting from the experience of the two previous sea- sons. the 1971 team displayed an unconquerable spirit and great enthusiasm. Faced with stiff competition, a young team, bad weather, and the remote location of the field, the girls never lost their determination and vitality. Janice Master led the Eaglettes in scoring during the 1971 season with eight goals. Placing second with seven goals was Anna Kruschwitz and third highest scorer was Debbie Green with five goals. Sue Master scored four goals and Judi Filonge scored two goals while Sherri Laubach and Francine Schrenko contributed one goal apiece. Toward the end of the season, the Eaglette defense dis- played remarkable power by holding the majority of their remaining opponents to one goal per game. This enabled the offense to contribute their skills and score the goals needed to attain a victory. Not only the varsity, but also the junior varsity displayed perseverance. The J.V.'s finished their season with a 4-3- 3 record, providing even more skill and ability for next year's varsity squad.

The team suffered only three losses, two to Bangor, the league champions, and one to Pocono Mountain on the Pocono Mountain home court. The var- sity team finished with an 11-3 record which placed it in a tie with Pocono Mountain for second place in the Le- high-Northampton League Northern Division. The junior varisty record was 13-1 with the sole loss to Bangor. Due to the renovations in our gymnasium, the girls had their practices at the Junior High School or the Floyd R. Shafer Elementary School, and played their home games at the Junior High School. At practice, under the coach- ing of Mrs. Sandra Shindel. the girls repeated their plays until they were perfect and had become a cooperating team unit. The two most important games were those played against the Bangor Slaterettes. Although the Eaglettes lost these games, they felt they had tried their best against this powerful team. Other major games were those against Pocono Mountain, the first game was our victory, the second a defeat. BELOW: Before each game, the girls go through their warm-up drills. Cindy Kulp.

Something new was added to the girls' team this year with the election of co- captains Connie Granda and Maureen Gyulia. In a tri-county meet held with Bangor. East Stroudsburg, and Pen Argyl at Pen Argyl High School, the Nazareth team placed second behind first-place winner Bangor. A second meet was held later in the season with East Stroudsburg on our home field. After many exhausting hours of practicing in between the boys' events, the girls finally were able to hold the home meet with East Stroudsburg on Thursday. May 18. This proved to be the seniors day on the field, for seven records were broken, five of which were set by seniors. New records established during the dual meet with East Stroudsburg were gained by Kathy Erdie in the Standing Broad Jump. Connie Granda in the Discus Throw. Mau- reen Gyulai in the running long jump. Lynn Kemmerer in the 440-yard run. and Anna Kruschwitz in the shot put. This enthusiasm and determination to win led the team to a 70-48 victory.

Maureen Gyulai UNDERCLASS SECTION Sande Parseghian TO THE COMET STAFF — It is indeed a pleasure when one has an opportunity to praise the efforts of a group of hard-working stu- dents who have done an exceptionally fine job. When a yearbook adviser attempts to say ‘‘Thank you for a tremendous sacrifice of time, effort, and talent, that task becomes impossible. To single out a few would be an injustice to many. Only those closely associated with a publication of this size can appreciate the strict adherence to de- tail. the sometimes futile attempts at creativity and originality, and the just plain hard work that pub- lishing this yearbook has involved. This has been an enjoyable experience for your ad- viser. Your good humor, willingness, and sincere effort to do a good job will always be appreciated. In years to come — when you page through this 1972 edition of the COMET — you will be proud of your work. 207 appreciation 208 In this case, the last circle represents not death, but an end for efforts, a goal worthy of aspiration.

June. 1972. Our final set of final exams was approaching at an ever-increasing pace. In our frequent cafeteria and hallway conversations, we forgot the usual, common- place topics of constructions, experiments, activities, and assignments, preferring to concentrate on our indi- vidual soon-to-be-completed plans for college, work, or marriage. As our last days at NAHS came to an end. we began the painful process of losing our identity as a class, a group who had worked and lived together for twelve years. Certainly few classes have followed the cycles as actively and as closely as we have. As sophomores in the fall of 1969. we began the traditional indoctrination with the sometimes frightening, sometimes mystifying, always fascinating principles of senior high society. Progressing to the intermediate junior stage, we. too. became accept- ed members of the community”; we began to contrib- ute. discarding values which had little meaning for us. adding ideas which, we believed, could improve our con- dition. Entering our final year, at first obsessed with such minor traumas as book reports, redox reactions, and dictations, we started our cycle rather slowly but soon accelerated as we ran from the traditional senior class play to senior festival to class trip to graduation. As we tried on caps and gowns, prac- ticed marching into the stadium, and eventually shook hands with the man handing out the diplomas, we re- flected. consciously or unknowingly, on what we had become. Even though we may not have recognized them, the changes that had taken place within us held a great im- portance. While questioning, either facetiously or seri- ously. the relevance of the subject material and regula- tions governing our lives, we had learned that the free- dom to question is a basic tenet of American democracy Desiring to improve our daily situations, we devisee many means of working together, cooperating, adjusting to conflicts between personalities and ideals. Seeking forms of happiness and success, we discovered that in ner peace is a goal well worth any necessary sacrifice Although we may have ridiculed the diploma’s forma language, its assumptions were correct; the experience of life at NAHS had prepared us for life in the outer world: we were ready to compete. Edward Bulwer-Lytton, the renowned British novelist once summarized his observations on man by writing There are certain events which to each man's life are a comets to the earth, seemingly strange and erratic por tents: distinct from ordinary lights which guide our course and mark our seasons, yet true to their own laws potent in their own influences. These are our comets. The truths and fallacies anc emotions and personalities and situations — and cycles — we have encountered during the past three years are the influences on which will be based our future charac ters. May we someday realize the full impact of the asso ciations we have created here. ep«log 224
