This annual fair really proves what great things can be accom- plished when people work together for six years. In this book we are envisioning Oley Town- ship Consolidated School as the scene of an even greater fair that is in progress through- out every school year. We are exhibiting not mere products of the home, farm, or factory, but school life as we see it in Oley. We have designated the administrative staff to be the officials of this great fair. We shall always be indebted to them for making it possible for us to come this far. The underclassmen are The Other Workers and Spectators, and we are the '53 Seniors Only. It is the combined work and play of all students that we wish you to see within these covers. We have gone step by step these twelve years preparing for life, for whatever occu- pation each one of us may choose. As we leave Oley High School, we shall carry with us all the valuable knowledge and instruction we have received and exhibit all we have learned as We are best able. Any fair encourages people to work, to cooperate, and to compete. Likewise in our lives we shall strive hard to reach the goals we set up. Now as We leave to go forward and upward, we shall carry our motto with us- Impossible is un-American. MARY BIEBER Editor-in-Chie f One 1--0 , nlftwg '? l l i s A W 5 .

We will sing our praises, Through endless days. We make for thee a crown, Rest on thy brow Pride, honor, glory, love, Before thee bow. Swelling to Heayen's high Our praises ring.

As we look back, we realize we can never repay you for all you have done for us. We thank you for having helped us through these years. As you turn to the contents of this book, may the memories therein bring you great pleasure. jo Me graduafing Cfaaa of l953: We, the members of the faculty of the Oley High School, are honored that you have deemed it fitting to dedicate this year book, your final achievement, to us. If we have given you something more than the ability to write a theme or figure an equation, then we have earned that honor. As you leave us, your paths will be far apart. Some of you will go into industry, some will go on to bigger things in agricul- ture, and others will continue their educa- tion. All of you will be striving toward the same goal- Success, It may well be said your definition of suc- cess is your philosophy of life. If your criterion for success is a big car in which to drive from a big house to a job at a big desk, then you'll discover that when you closed the school room door the last day, you left happiness behind, and we as teachers will have failed in our jobs to give you not just a way of making a living, but a way to live. Success cannot be counted by the fullness of your purse, but rather by the fullness of Four MARY BIEBER, Editor-in-Chief your heart. The truly successful person is he who has found happiness. Perhaps found isn't the word. You don't just find happiness-you must make your own. Like anything else you set out to make, there are directions you must follow. The first rule for happiness is one you have known all your life. We call it the Golden Rule. You've always known it, but have you given it any thought? Try living it. The rewards are greater than you think. Count your wealth, not by the number of digits in your bank book, but by the number of true friendships you have earned. Live each day so that you can look to the past with no regrets and to the future with anticipation. Set a goal for yourself and set it high, then work toward it. Learn to be content with what you have and where you are without being satisfied to stay there. Follow these directions and you will have a life full of love for God and your fellow man, true happiness, and success.

You have had twelve years of growth and guidance to this day, whereby, your parents, teachers and your school have made many sacrifices, held consistent patience, and with a deep love have strived to guide you through those channels of thinking to develop your personality morally, spiritually and cultur- ally. We feel you have done well and will now Six venture into a world filled with opportunities, and hope that we have given you some oppor- tunities whereby you can feel secure to take on life's work with a vision and with efforts toward success and happiness. Wherever your ambition in life may lead you, on the farm, in the home, in business, in industry or into higher education, we trust you will keep the faith and steer your efforts so that you will live a full life of service to yourself, your school, your community, your country and your God. FRANK S. FISHER Pres1'de11 t jo Me Cfadd of 1953: Every ambitious young man and woman has set a goal which he or she hopes to reach. 1953 - your gradua- tion from high school - marks one of these goals. It is marked with ap- plause and festivity. Success is yours. It is a triumph to your endeavors. Congratulations, to each and every member, on your outstanding achieve- ment. May success and happiness be yours always. It has been said many times and in many ways that we live in a world of change. Every age has been one of transition. The only difference is that in our age the process has been great- ly accelerated. These rapid changes have forced people to make many changes in their habits of living. Many do not distinguish between the things that do change and those that remain constant. Some think that nothing is permanent. This is not true. The friendship between David and Jonathan is just as important to- day as it was 3000 years ago. Hon- esty has not changed. If cooperation, fair play and decency were values long ago, they are worth even more FREDERICK H. STAUFFER Oley, Pa. Muhlenberg College, Ph. B. Columbia University, M. A. German, General Business Practices Supervising Principal today. Truth, love, righteousness, kindness shall long endure. We are all traveling on the road to tomorrow. It is a one-way thorough- fare. May I caution you once again that millions of youth neglect the most important of all days-TODAY. Make good use of each today. Your trip down the highway of life requires you to keep your eyes open and your hearts right. There is much of beauty and of interest and there are dangers too. You will encounter signs, stop lights, detours and many forks in the road. Fortunately we have road maps of this highway. It has been charted by all the generations before us. Longfellow said: Lives of great men all remind us. The Bible is the mas- ter road map and guide book. It is complete. Consult it often and follow its teaching. Your teachers and I have planned and counseled with you for this trip. We feel that with reason- able caution, interest and the will to do, you will give your best to God, to country and to home- which is your reasonable service -and there- by achieving the ideal exemplified in your motto Impossible is un-Ameri- can.

Dear Classmates : As graduation day approaches and our twelve years of high school education are ending, it is the time in our lives when our future has to be decided. Will it be further education, working in industry, or farming? We can all be grateful to be so fortunate that we can choose the vocation we want and not be forced to undertake a position we do not Want. We should all leave high school with the idea of making our future a most satisfying and prosperous one. As president of the senior class, I wish to see you all achieve your desired ambitions.

Class of ill in the use '5 Twenty-fi'vc jAl'0lfLgA tA2 It is a beautiful day for the opening of the great sixteenth Oley Valley Community Fair. As we stand at the cake and cider stand of the class of '63, we catch several glimpses of alumni members, class of '53. Serving behind the large food stand are several of the com- munity's cooperative cooks-Gail Seibert, Fern Breitenstein, Nancy Rinker and Mary Jane Haas. Being very busy, these friends of ours can spare time only to exchange warm greetings, so we decide to investigate the exhibit which is attracting the large crowd at tent three. Pushing through the crowd, we notice the familiar faces of June Wolford, Isabell Het- rick and Dolores Cronrath, successful secre- taries, who seem deeply engrossed in their discussion of current news at the office. Now we see what has been causing all the excite- mentg it is a rocket ship. We are not too surprised because rocket ships have almost replaced automobiles. But who is that dem- onstrating it? It is that great aviator, our own Richard Yoder. Standing proudly beside the display is Richie's capable airline stew- ardess, Sarah DeTurck. Not far away we find Melissa Lees and her secretary, Mary Jane Noll, absorbed in a conversation concerning their trip for inspiration to make a ballet choreography about the moon.They're talking with David Reist, a successful mailman, and Ned Lorah. David in a few years will be transporting his mail by rocket ship. We suppose Ned Lorah would enjoy playing base- ball and hitting home runs on the moon with so little gravity, even more than he does for his champion team now. But there is no scientific substitute for food, so we wander over to the farm exhibits. Some of the men are proudly feeding their prize winning cattle, among them are Ken- neth Zieber, Harry Peifer and William Ber- tolet. They certainly have raised some sturdy stock. Before we continue our sight seeing, we visit the cake and cider stand once more. There we walk into Richard Hill, prosperous Oley gunsmith, and his secretary Karlene Sassaman. We renew acquaintances and then Twenty-six enter the school building to view the inside exhibits. Ahead of us we spy those hospital personalities-Elaine Weidner, medical sec- retary, and Patricia Hertzog, surgical nurse, listening intently to the strange episodes in the life of a telephone operator as related to them by Patricia Snyder. Our gradual ad- vancement through the building has finally led to the art room. Here on display is deli- cate art work-examples of the digital dex- terity of Jean Krick. We make our way toward the stage where the electricians are carefully setting up the equipment for the television show. The faces of the two busy volunteers are discernible novs and we recognize the jesting as familiar. The men are Theodore Kurtyka and Harvey Hetrick. Now the television technician, Carl Baer, is making the final arrangements with the producer and actors. The show is on! Here comes the lovely singing star, Mary Lou Heffley. As the audience cordially greets the star, we notice Anna Angstadt, Mary Lou's private secretary, backstage. The audience calms and Miss Heii'ley's capable pianist, Bruce Gehry, plays the theme. When the program ends, we amble toward the car exhibits. There we find new types of cars, with a tall business-like gentleman dem- onstrating the various buttons and gadgets to the onlookers. We take a second look and see it is our own Amandus Reichert, now a prosperous automobile mechanic and dealer, trying his best to compete with the enormous rocket ship dealers. We recognize another young man, deeply absorbed in what Aman- dus is saying, to be Harold Noll, now head of the greatest carpentry unit Pricetown ever had. We-Anna Herner, Mary Bieber and Hazel Zimmerman, smartly dressed in our uniforms of the Navy-are proud to be seen. Anna and I, as Waves, and Mary, as a Navy nurse, know that the looks we receive are proudly saluting what we represent. This has been a day worth waiting for and worth remembering. We enjoyed seeing all these happy, familiar faces after such a long, long time. .gcbodgncradied Prem E qes Buff DANC CY S QIQVPS-' Tl M :LT To Succenl Eva re: Navy N Draco.

The first thing we come across is not the sight of the hay ride, but the noise of it. The first noise is emitted by the chatter-boxes of the class-Kay, Fern, Shirley Howard, Betty Hoover, and Molly, who are talking faster than the wheels can turn. Next we hear Eugene tinkering vainly with his radio. As a result, the class's musicians will have to render the music. These new versions of Bing Crosby are Elwood, James, Phyllis, Elmer, and Paul Renninger. Oops, we almost missed the most important people of all-the hot rod drivers of the hay party-Henry, Marvin, Charles, Naomi, and Rhoda. Now we shall take a look around to see who else is enjoying the ride. In one corner of the wagon we find a few more talkative girls.

This is a quite interesting conversation. As we continue on our journey, we find a manly group-Roger, Gerald, Ron- ald, and Bernard-discussing the most im- portant, tedious, and heart-rending problem of them all, the next day's homework. Leav- ing this frightful discussion, we come upon Guy, Ralph, Carl, John and Gene discussing their girl problems. In one corner we see another group of masculine personalities: Robert Delp, Solomon, Rodney, Robert Schoenly, Carl, and Paul Yenser. This group is absorbed in the working of cars. COf all things to discuss D As we wind up our inspec- tion of this wonderful hay ride, we see the last group of VIP's, including Jackie.

HOCKEY Having only a varsity team, the Lynxettes were proud to place second in the league by winning four games, losing two, and tieing two games. Although the field at Hamburg was quite dusty, we managed to keep the score 0 -0. After this the team was treated to ice-cream by some of the faculty members. Herner kept the balls out of the goal and really kept the team in good spirit. Bieber as- sisted as fullback and Readinger as halfback. Hetrick's speed led O. H. S. to quite a few victories with the aid of the whole team. These girls will be lost to the team, but next year's team looks quite promising. Goals scored were made by Isabell Hetrick, Betty Hoover, and Fern Correll. SOCCER With a team of many new faces, the O.H.S. soccer team finished the season with only moderate success. The O.H.S. booters com- piled a record of one win, six losses and one tie. Those who will be lost to next year's team through graduation are Co-captains Harvey Hetrick and Ted Kurtyka, Halfback Richard Yoder, and Amandus Reichert, goal tender. These boys will probably remember for years their moral victory over Birdsboro, when they held them to a 0-0 tie. At that time Birdsboro was tied for first place in the league.

BOYS' VARSITY BASKETBALL BOYS' VARSITY BASKETBALL The Red Wings lost all of the preceding year's varsity team members, with the ex- ception of this year's captain, Amandus Reichert. Having had little experience, the team had a poor season when rated only according to victories, although some games were won morally. The boys, with the school behind them, played with the real O.

Intramural sports are played to increase sportsmanship and school spirit. All intra- mural games are played at noon time with each grade divided into a team. Intramural sports act as a practice for regular season sports, with grades 7-12 participating. Grades 7-9 take part in junior high intramuralsg grades 10-12, senior high intramurals. Each grade plays the other two grades twice. In- tramural sports are hockey, soccer, basket- ball, softball, and volleyball. The winning Forfy-f wo teams hold the championship until the next year or until it is won by another team. It is an honor and great credit to the class and team of the champions. In hockey the ninth grade girls won the junior high championship, and the eleventh grade came out on top for the senior high school championship. In soccer the ninth grade boys Won the junior high champion- ship, and the juniors won the senior high championship. .iw . ,M The J .V. Basketball team showed they had plenty spirit and determination, although the scores showed they were not always victor- ious. The boys really showed what they could do when they won a game with Morgantown 32-23. Under Mr. Wise's coaching the boys had regular practice and worked hard to win those games.

These cheerleaders, full of vim and vigor, spent many of their free per- iods and lunch hours learning new motions and cheers under Mr. Kremser's direction. They led school songs and cheers at basket- ball games and did much to increase school spirit by the pep rallies at dinner time. These girls also accompanied the team to all away games. l First Roux' J. Strunk, J. Angstadt, B. Hassler. M. J. Maurer, P. Snyder. orly . 7 Qi.. 6 olza el 5 First Rauf: C. Bortz, S. DeTurck, B.

GIRLS' LEADERS This year the club had a float at the local Halloween parade and won first prize. Dec- orations portrayed a witches' brew. The club period is like an informal gym class for all members, who played hockey, basketball, softball, and all sorts of games. The purpose of the club is to promote good sportsmanship and school spirit. The Girls' Leaders helped to present the Turkey Bounce, the dance sponsored by the Athletic Association in November. BOYS' LEADERS This organization of thirty-seven boys was sponsored by Mr. Knabb and Mr. Wise. The main purposes of the club are to promote bet- ter sportsmanship and develop a general understanding of rules and regulations in the field of sports. Another duty of the members is to keep the boys' locker room clean. During the year the boys cut out sports clippings from the newspaper to make scrap- books that were read during the club-period. On November 18, the club joined the Girls' Leaders to sponsor a dance, and an annual picnic was enjoyed by these seventh to twelfth grade boys. First Row: D. Beiber, D. Buchert, R. Yerger, H.

The Future Homemakers of America is open to all girls from seven through twelve. Meeting once every two weeks, this organiza- tion offered to its members an opportunity to gain the experience needed by future house- wives. Care of the home, cooperation and cooking were the three c's for this group to follow throughout the year. The members of this club took part in various activities. Their beautiful float QMiss F.H.A.J, which was entered in the annual Oley Community Halloween Parade, won sec- ond prize. The group also sponsored a dance for the enjoyment of the student body. The active girls made a lovely quilt, of which they were very proud. During the busy days of the Oley Valley Community Fair, the F.H.A. members were a great help. The girls served the delicious meals that were sold in the evenings of three days of the fair. The girls also planned for the mother- daughter banquet and served the food at the father-son banquet. guiufe 0l'l'l2Ifl'lCl el 5 Fifty -iv-,,,...-.--We Q fx 0 merica ,,... p ' I igufure armerd of America Meetinfrs of the F.F.A. were held during each club period throughout the school year and on the last Thursday of each summer month. Conducting: business occupied much of the time. Activities in- cluded collaborating with the F.H.A. to sponsor a dance, arranging for a Father-and-Son banquet, holding an all-day summer picnic, and playing soft- ball and basketball with other chapters. All members enjoyed a two-hour evening: nicel- ing that featured initiation for ten new members. Imagine the headaches incurred by counting grave- stones and collecting hair in three colors at the barber shop. Much income for F.F.A. activities is received form the sale of seeds each spring. Yearly dues for members are two dollars during school days and one dollar for graduates. The latter may continue membership for three years. This enables many to earn the State Farmers' Degree, for which there are requirements in school and community activities and farm projects. Membership for grrzuluates also means that they can exhibit at fairs in the F'.F.A. classes instead of in open classes. First 1i'ou': R. Angstadt. C. Pennypacker, F. Eyrich, R. Heffner. M. Hetrick.

In the fall, the activities of this club were collecting and identifying leaves. When the more severe winter months came, we found the club members keeping themselves busy by building model airplanes and motors. During the latter part of the winter, we saw them performing: many experi- ments which helped them understand scientific mys- teries. As spring arrived, this club again went outdoors to identify birds and flowers. ART CLUB The Art Club, meeting' once a week. was open to pupils of the entire high school who were interested in arts or crafts. Various things done by the club were chip carving, painting' glassware with liek-all. etching' glasses, cutting' linoleum blocks, printing cards, and oil painting.

The band sometimes entertained the fans at the basketball games and supplied some of the music for assemblies. Many of the mem- bers took individual instrumental lessons from Mr. Kremser. Gold, silver and bronze pins are awarded to seniors, depending on the number of years they have been members of the band.

STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council was organized for the purpose of having students participate in governing the school. The council met one time a week, when they discussed any prob- lems suggested by the students, Grades sev- en to twelve represented on the council, with members elected annually. The council spon- sored the spring prom. Members of the council and their advisors attended the Stu- dent Activities Conference held at Reading High School. DEBATING The 1952-53 debate team argued upon this topic: Resolved: That the United States should withdraw from the United Nations. This proved to be a weighty but timely sub- ject, since many people feel that the present organization is helpless in trying to accom- plish its primary purpose-maintaining world peace. The panel discussions were held February 18-20, with Wyomissing, Hamburg, and Oley making up one debating triangle. One meeting was held at Oley during an assembly period.
