Parkland High School - Par Key Yearbook (Orefield, PA)

Text from Pages 1 - 132 of the 1957 volume:

Knowledge is that which, next to virtue, raises one man above another. OL PROUDLY PRESENTS THE fOUEWORD As an expression ant! memento of our years at Parkland High School, we, the class of 1957, have produced this yearbook. In it, we have likened our adventure at Parkland to the ocean and its inhabitants. For we have, like the ocean, felt the turbulence of storm and stress, as well as the peaceful calm so often found in the vast expanse which covers two-thirds of the earth’s surface. As the ocean, ever moving, rises and subsides, so our life in school has had its share of high points and still moments. As the ocean is composed of innumerable variety, so our life has been filled with varied subjects and activities which we have sought to capture in this yearbook. rite eloquent beauty of the ocean reminds us of our own modern surroundings — a beauty which has inspired us to achieve the best within us. Our voyage is now completed. Riding the quest of waves into the sea of life, we look back upon our school days with happy memories and grateful recognition to our faculty and administration who have ever served as a beacon to guide us onward. DEDICATION A teacher is a human being. To many students this is an unknown fact; but to the Class of 1957, it is not. For we have known such a teacher. Her understanding and willingness to aid in solving any problems will not be forgotten. Nor will her fine teaching ability be lost in time. We leave behind many pleasant memories filled with the kindness of this woman. To her, Mrs. Miriam George, we dedicate our yearbook. ADMIN PAOILTY BOARD Of EDUCATION President......

Page Forty-five UNDERCLASSMEN FUTURE Bid WHALES JUNIOR (LASS OFFICERS President James Whittaker Vice-President Daryl Rabert Secretary Jean Ernst Treasurer Sue Beisel The Class of ‘58, following the trend of bigger classes, has 142 members. The Junior Class has started a new first at Parkland for they were the first Class to order the new standard class rings. The Juniors were proud of this honor and waited with great anticipation for the day when they received their rings. What a thrill! The rings seemed like a bonus for all the hard work and the struggles with studies they had gone through. Their big venture was the Junior play, and it was indicative of activities to come — a success. Adeptly preparing themselves to take over the Seniors' place, the Juniors are the backbone in almost every school movement from Chorus, Trumpet, and Band, to Student Council, clubs and not forgetting all those dance committees.

Page Fifty-eight Student Council Sa.plo e the be UtA. o-fj Student Ptiahlenvi I lie Student Council meets regularly to solve school problems and to maintain good relations between students and facultv. Delegates and alternates elected from each homeroom strive to truly represent their fellow classmates by voicing their complaints and suggestions. I he Student Council participates in many school activities. One of the main service projects of the Council this year has ! een the supervision of the recreation room. The Bermuda Swing and the Sweetheart Ball were among the dances sponsored by the Council. The traditional Christmas baskets were given in cooperation with the Key Club and the I ri-Hi-Y. I he school’s l cst talent competed in an auditorium program presented by the Council. Three s| crial assemblies were given l the Council. Special committees of the Student Council investigated ways of improving school life. A mascot committee was started and a cheering section organized to further school spirit. Committees were appointed to study the possibilities of establishing a student court and a safety patrol at Parkland. A committee on exchange students worked toward the beginning of such a program in our school.

Under the leadership ol President Douglass Decker, the Key Club participated in a number of worthy and useful projects, among them the collection and delivery of food baskets to the needy at Christmas. Its biggest project was that of organizing and conducting the first Annual schoolwide Oratorical Contest as a service to the school. Other services were also rendered by the Club members to enable them to further their leadership qualities. With the cooperation of its sponsoring agency, the Kiwanis Club of Allentown, the Club was privileged throughout the year to hear talks from leaders of various occupations which the Club members were considering entering. The highlight of the year was a festive banquet on April 25, at which Judge Henninger, judge of Lehigh County spoke. I he boys took advantage of im itations throughout the year to visit the leading industrial centers of the Lehigh Valley, to gain further insight into the world which they soon would be entering.

At Moravian, after the debate, a symposium was held to discuss both sides anti the merits of each. But this was not the only question to occupy our forensically inclined students. Under the leadership of President Lynne Habel, some “scramble” debates were held. A scramble debate was held at Slatington on the topic “Resolved: that present day commercial advertising is detrimental to society.” Another scramble debate was held at the end of the year in Parkland in which a number of schools in the Lehigh Valley took part. To conclude a fine year, the Debaters and their guests attended a Formal Dance where the Seniors received their debating pins. OFFICERS for the Debate Club were: Lynne Habel.

Page Sixty-seven Senior, Gla4,4 Play, Qi il Shyrr i warn The Class of '57 presented the comedy Girl-Shv” on November 15th and 16th under the direction of Mrs. Vivian Wiessler. This rib-tickling play took place in a college town during graduation time. There, Tom Arsdale, who was girl-shy, roomed with Oke Stiinson who thought he was a lady-killer. Unfortunately for poor Tom, everyone tried to interest him in girls. The play was kept ftdl of laughs by Asnta, the wash lady, Alfred Tennyson Murgatoyd, the college poet, and Peaches Carter, Oke's girl-friend. When Barbara Sanford changed places with Birdie Lav erne, a professional cleaner, and Chuck, Birdie’s boy-friend, kidnapped the wrong girl, the play took on an air of mystery. This mixture of comedy and mystery combined to produce a Senior play that was not only a great success but also enjoyable to everyone. While only twelve people were in the immediate cast, the behind the scenes cast was a lot larger. It included prompters and costume, makeup, and property committees, as well as committees responsible for scenery, programs, and publicity. The experiences that occurred during the production will always remain to bring back smiles to those people connected with “Girl-Shy.” Oke Stimson....................................Floyd Moyer Tom Arsdale ...............................Russell Hamm Peaches Carter........................................Jane Clarke Dean Marlow...........................................Dale Stut man Alfred Tennyson Murgatoyd.........................Douglass Decker Asma ..........................................Pat Quigney Barbara Sanford...........................Nancy Trumbauer Birdie Laverne ......................................Nancy Maty Mr. Arsdale ................................Lee Burkhardt Aunt Caroline .................................Mae Merkle Sylvia Webster.......................................Irene Good Chuck Mayo..........................................Robert Kocher Page Sixty-eight flutti i Glald. Play, attletale At 8:00 p.m. on March 7th and 8ih the Junior Class presented “The Tattletale. It was the story of Patty Blaine, a high school girl, who was gifted with a vivid imagination allowing her to create situations which proved embarrassing to herself, her friends, and her family. She wrote a novel and also kept a diary. She made the mistake of giving the diary instead of the novel to the town newspaper. What she says became public property, and many faces turned an embarrassing shade of red. Mr. German directed the plav.

In September, 1953, the freshman class set sail alter receiving orders from the captain, Mr. Randall, li was a green crew which first hoisted the sails to embark in search of the isle of Knowledge. The sea was rough, but the ship came safely into port under the steady hands of our mates —Russell Hamm, Suzanne Kucharik, Mary Ann Wieder, and Robert Horning. Midway on our journey, due to the death of our Commandcr-in-Chief Mr. Schaeffer, we lowered our Hag to half-mast in deep respect and sympathy. With the selection of a new Commandcr-in-Chief, Mr. Meckley, we again hoisted high our Hag. We made a brief stop on the Isle of Recognition, where the American Legion Award was presented to Nancy Trumbauer and Russell Hamm; and numerous Science Fair honorable mentions were won. A few of our trim cabin-mates were chosen as hostesses to the Junior-Senior Farewell. They were Ann Hcintzelman, Ruth Schneck, Mary Ann Wieder, Mary Muich, Marlene Kistler, and Nancy Trumbauer. June, 1954, found us marooned on the Isle of Three-to-Go, looking forward to the time when we could again weigh anchor and continue our quest. New mates took over our crew in September, 1954. Mates Bruce Slnipp, Sylvia Odenheimer, La Rue George, and Patricia Quigney were elected. Chief Mate Shupp directed the salty sophomores in the choosing of class rings from Melchior and Schneck. Three of our feminine crew members were chosen as majorettes; Judy Buck, Marie Paduch, and Marlene Kistler. It was during this same year that the student body elected Nancy Trumbauer Vice-President — Treasurer of Student Council. Later, we celebrated our success by holding the Sophomore Swing” on the Isle of Two-More Left. The fall of 1955 found us with two new officers, Larry Cassel and Marie Paduch. Mates Bruce Shupp and Patricia Quigney remained at their posts. Under their guidance, we conducted successful booster ticket and bake sales. Early in the season we livened our sea-wearv souls with the Junior Kick-Off. Then the rejuvenated juniors staged a swashbuckling dramatic production, The Valley of Ghosts. Having found our sea legs again, we danced all night at the “Raindrop Hop.” It was necessary to return briefly to the Isle of Recognition where Larry Cassel was electel President of Student Council for the following year; and Jane Clarke, Barbara Bloch, and Ruth Schneck became the Junior members of our cheering squad. We dropped anchor on the Isle of Almost — there to hold the final dance of the season, the Junior-Senior Prom. Our trim little cabin-mate, Jane Martin, reigned as Prom Queen and her attendants were Jane Clarke, Suzanne Kucharik. Marie Paduch, Marlene Kistler, Pat Quigney, and Nancy Trumbauer. It was smooth sailing from there on in. Our mates for the final length of our journey were Douglass Decker, Larry Reppert, Marie Paduch, and Patricia Quigney. The Senior Class Play entitled Girl Shy caused a tidal wave of laughter in an auditorium filled to capacity. To make Christmas more enjoyable, those confined to quarters attended our Christmas dance, Winter Wonderland. Later in January we steered our ship toward New York. We only stayed in port for one day. While on shore leave we visited the United Nations, Radio City, and other points of interest. Jean Bartholomew, Russell Hamm, and Douglass Decker undertook a short trip to the Isle of Recognition. Jean received the Liberty Bell award and Douglass and Russell won honorable mentions in the Westinghouse Science Contest. We added much silver and gold to our treasure chest by selling sweatshirts, pins and booster tickets, and by holding a hoagie sale. With full speed ahead we anchored at Washington, D.C., where we stretched our sea-legs and enjoyed a three-day stay. Our return to the ship was heralded by the junior mates who gave a gala Prom in our honor. Finally in May of 1957 we reached our destination, The Isle of Knowledge. With our Commencement and Baccalaureate services completed a new crew look over the ship to continue the never-ending quest. Page Eighty five • • LANDMARKS OF On February 16, 1957 Miss Carol Hersh, escorted by Daryl Rabert, was chosen as Sweetheart of the hall. Misses Judy Russ and Dianne Don-atelli reigned as her attendants. “Christmas in Old Lehigh” was the theme of this year's Christinas Pageant which was held on December 20, 1956. Numerous old Dutch melodies were played by the Band and Chorus for this occasion. Early in the morning of January 3, Ruth Schneck, Lucille Krumanocker, Leona Henry, and Mary Ann Wieder, together with the rest of the Senior class, traveled by bus to the United Nations in New York. While visiting a U.N. conference, Harry Strohl, Dale Miller, and Nancy Muth investigated the use of the language phones. With the day soon at an end, Robert Kocher, Nancy Trum-bauer, and Bruce Kunklc bid a final farewell. I’age Eighty-six ...0U SENIOR yEA1 Parkland was on its best behavior when visited by the Evaluation Committer on March 12, 13. and 14. A panel of Seniors met with Dr. Robinson. a committee member, to discuss school life at Parkland. Members of this panel included: Barbara Reichenbach, Connie Moore, Pat Quigney, Dolores Cane, Alice Molter, Mae Merkle, Ronald Reynard, and Forrest Pieflev. PAPKLAND AND THE WOPLD 1957 was an important year for us —the final year of our high school career. Ii was a significant one too, not only for us, but for the world. It brought with it hopes and trials. It was a year of competition and tension, of revolution and evolution. As we went about our daily life, we couldn’t escape the momentous events that were taking place around us. and throughout the world. Communist satellite foundations were cracked when revolutions occurred in Poland and Hungary, and a Hood of Hungarian refugees came to the United States for a new life of freedom and hope. The tempo of life continued to increase as scientists and engineers achieved new wonders. Air Force pilots circumnavigated the globe non-stop in 45 hours. Guided missiles reached for the moon. As the Northeast Extension of the Pennsylvtania Turnpike neared completion, the tempo of highway construction increased. Our national population elevated itself to the 170 million mark. Among these 170 million people, are the 127 Seniors who compose the largest graduating class of Parkland. It was a year of competition. The Yankees again won the World Series by defeating the Dodgers. Melbourne, Australia, scene of the Olympics, witnessed international competition at its best. Ike defeated Adlai to become President of the United States for a second term. While on the homefront Larry Cassel was elected President of our Student Council, and Doug Decker took over as Class President. Tension also characterized the year. Nasser closed the Suez Canal and hostilities arose with Israel. A tense Secretary of State Dulles defended the “Ike Doctrine for the Middle East. Dissension arose as Secretary of Defense Wilson bombarded the National Guard. Parklanders forgot the strain of studies and exams long enough to observe the phenomenal quiz program contestant, Charles Van Doren. To our parents, this was a year of hope, and sometimes tribulation: hope that we would do well in school, and tribulation over our many fads. Somehow they managed to survive our preoccupation with Rock and Roll, our monopolyzing the television set, our constant attention to our (or their) cars, and for some of us — our craze over Elvis. Perhaps in years to come, we will be able to make our influence felt upon world events. Perhaps, instead of being the observers of world events, we will Ire the movers and doers that will make the world a little better place in which to live. Page Eighty eight 0U CHERISHED TDEASUPES 'Se 7t entem e'iect . . . That we, the honorable class of Nineteen Hundred and Fifty-seven, being of sound mind and body, do thus declare the following our last will and testament: 7a t e tyuHiaia : we leave the prospect of facing the future without the class of ’Fifty-seven. 7a t6e Saft Mtaiea: we leave all our extra hours that we haven't used in which to study?? and the privilege of having those riotous parties. 7a t e 'P’leiAtH.eK: we leave our wishful thinking. 7a 7eacAeit: we leave the problem of figuring out our tactics and strategy. 7a t£e u4cCr6ve'i4: we leave the privilege of coining late to the bus stop. 7a t e ?4cl tuHi4tTCitioK: we leave all those problems which will be solved after we have gone. Page Eighty nine VaAAitif, fyaatball Coaches Ray Snyder and Ralph Eckensberger have begun, in three years, a tradition of winning football teams at Parkland. In the three seasons since the Big Red first stepped on the gridiron, the Snyder-Eckensl erger coached teams have accumulated an X-7-1 record. After a rocky start, the '56 edition of the Trojans fought back and by the close of the season sported a respectable 4-4-1 record. Downed by strong Nazareth and Nesquehoning teams, and dropping a heart breaker to Slatington, Parkland saw the three opening games go by the boards. With the exception of a late season loss to a last W ilson Boro squad and an unsatisfying stalemate with Hellertown, the remainder of the campaign saw the Trojan grid machine roll over Nescopeck, East Stroudsburg. Coplay, and Jim Thorpe. Unquestionably the highlight of the year was the big win under the lights at East Stroudsburg. Blocking with a ferocity that cut the Cavaliers down like so much ripe wheat under the swath of a scythe, and tackling with bone jarring vengeance, the big red and gray eleven stampeded to sweet victory against a team whose coach had challenged Parkland to beat him with eighteen players on the field. Nine of the starting eleven were seniors, the entire forward wall and half the back field. At ends were Larry Cassel and Jerry Faust. Jerry caught two important touchdown passes and could play that smashing defensive ball that gives quarterbacks nightmares. The tackles. Larry Rep| ert and Gary Heintzelman dealt in that big rough brand of football that makes backs come through a little slower the next time. Dick Rex valiantly held one guard slot while Larry Haas and Reynard scrapped each week for the other. Co-captain Bruce Shupp played his third and final year at a position where he became a fixture— center. In the hackfield Dick James and Byron Young, the team’s leading scorers, showed the way. James with his smashing strength and speed hit pay dirt with a regularity that pained the opposition, while Young brought the crowd, screaming, to its feet with his dazzling long scampers. Reynard and Ronald Loch saw action as reserves and Dave Slang was relegated to the inactive list through a mild concussion. The underclassmen who filled out the line-up were Bob Yadush at quarterback; and John Bowman, Bill Peoples, and Daryl Rabert. who was inactivated by an injury, alternated in the hackfield. In the line, reserves Dale Fenstcrmakcr, Bill Trumhaucr, Larry Ankrom, Gene Hardenberg spelled the starters.

Mr. Bruce Stevenson encouraged his charges, the first entirely separate Trojan junior varsity football club, with such endearing utterances as: “Come on you clowns, or “let’s go girls.” In his own unique fashion Coach Stevenson was fulfilling an important part of any successful football program, the training of youngsters in the fundamentals of the sport. The experience gained in the completion of their schedule will make these future football stalwarts better players when they reach varsity competition. While the 1 and 4 record was less than sensational, the promise showed by several boys more than offset the bleak won, lost figures. The varsity coaching staH can be assured that they will not have to build a gridiron unit front scratch, as in the past. Instead there will be game wise material, drilled in the fundamentals of blocking and tackling, with which the mentors can build a leant that will, as the impassioned old alumnus would say, carry the name ol Parkland proudly. Page Ninety-four j)u Uosi Vanity Basketball Sparked by John Drabic and Lee Barto, two Sophomores who scored 262 and 254 points respectively, the junior Trojans finished the season with a record of 19 wins and 6 losses. Only the overpowering squads of Central Catholic, Catasauqua, Coplay, Wilson Boro, and Fountain Hill were able to beat Coach Et linger's fledglings. Early in the season they traveled to the newly built Northwestern High School and there scored a win over the Varsity squad. For many of the boys this season marks the closing of J. V. Basketball, with their hopes turned to attaining a place on the Varsity squad. The TEAM included co-captains John Drabic, and Lee Barto; Craig Maurer, Dale Fenstermaker, Bill Peoples, Bob Yadush, Ron Snyder. David Schiffer, John Schwartz, David Meeker, Clinton Trumbauer, Nick Kavounas, and James Kon-dravy. Richard Lewis and Craig Reynolds were the managers.

Bc A.he.tbaU Sparked by All Leaguer Evan YVescoe's 17 points per game, this year’s Parkland Trojans scored an all time high of 69 points per game. The entire first string, which achieved this feat, was composed of seniors. Ron Sintock, the 6’2 center, was one of the best rebounders as well as being the second highest point getter on the squad. Indispensable help under the boards and in the scoring column were supplied by Barry Gaal and Dick James. Although these two scrappers seemed to score in spurts, they were always a threat. Outside Wes” was of course the big gun with a constant barrage of points if) send any opponent reeling. Perhaps he didn't score a lot of points, but Joe Nemeth was a great ball player. His alertness and ball handling would be an asset to any team. The year began with hopes and potential high. There was a little rough luck early in the season when Evan sprained his ankle, but this soon healed and with a little ankle wrap the team was in good shape again. There were a few early disappointments for our squad but its strength was built up to the point of a near upset over Fountain Hill. Again in the second half Nazareth and the Hillers proved a little too strong. Nonetheless a very respectable record of 17 wins and 7 losses was compiled by our Parkland “spoilers.” Page Ninety six oe Nemeth antes Qun, Sesuxvti, Parkland Opponent 66 Southern Lehigh 52 52 Central Catholic 67 74 Northampton 53 69 Slatington 47 62 Catasauqua 50 56 Nazareth 58 69 Coplay 52 83 Hellertown 23 63 Alumni 70 55 Phillipsburg 47 73 Pen Argyl 41 66 Wilson Boro 75 61 Fountain Hill 66 71 East Stroudsburg 59 76 Bangor 47 51 Nazareth 56 69 Coplay 55 63 Hellertown 47 75 Phillipsburg 52 90 Pen Argyl 61 85 Wilson Boro 65 60 Fountain Hill 73 80 East Stroudsburg 54 100 Bangor 56 Record Won — 17 Lost — 7 wt'JL' Ron Simock Bob Horning Page Ninety seven nx)j +tette4. During this past season, the Trojanettes established a record and presented a first at Parkland. Christine Behney became the highest individual scorer in Parkland’s three years of playing when she scored 33 points in one game. When they met Southern Lehigh for a second time, the game was played before the entire student body. High scorers for this year were Christine Behney with 184 points, Carolyn Helfrich with 150 points, and Frances Shellhammer with 127 points. These three senior girls played in the forward position, and Mary Ann Bodder was the only senior guard. Under the guidance of Miss Hecht, the Trojanettes are hopefully looking forward to next year’s season. The players included Carolyn Helfrich. Captain; Christine Behney, Mary Ann Bodder, Frances Shellhammer, Phyllis Schoch, Judy Maurer, Darlene Roth, Dolores Reinsmith, Marrianne Koch, Mary Kokolus. Jean Ebert, Judy Bogert, Barbara Kulp, Joann Helfrich, Diane Haldeman, Beverly Grammes, Barbara Eichler, and Karen Coyle. SCHEDULE Km maus...................................

Around a lean, fast cruncher and a bear-like, powerful gruntcr. Coach Ray Snyder formed the 1957 Parkland track team. Dick Schaeffer, District 11 champion half miler, and Larry Reppert, District 11 javelin ruler, both Seniors, are the men of whom we speak. Schaeffer, who can pole vault and win the 440 consistently. and Reppert, a good shot putter, bolstered the Trojan thin clads in other events beside their specialties. Another Senior, Jerry Faust, lent his long, strong body to the team with some excellent putting of the shot, whirling of the discus, and high jumping. Gan Heintzelman, Harold Reynard, and David Klotz, all husky weight men; Russ Hamm and Larry Cassel, running the mile and half mile; and Aaron Hoffman, a high jumper rounded out the Class of '57’s contribution to the team. Several underclassmen exhibited talents of note. Among these: Bob Yadush (pole vaulter, broad jumper, sometimes sprinter and high jumper). Bob Royer (a distance man following his record holding brother's strides), and Bob Miller (a fine runner). Page Ninety-nine Larry Reppert Dick Schaeffer feadeball The future of Parkland's baseball team looks good. After winning the Lehigh - Northampton League title last year and having thirteen returning lettermen this year, it might well be said that we again will be league champions. Headlining the lettermen are ace pitcher Dick James, and catcher Dick Rex, both seniors. James recorded the most strike-outs of any pitcher on the team and Rex had the highest hatting average. Rounding out the infield we have Ron Simock at first base, Evan Wescoe at second base, Barry Gaal at shortstop, and John Bowman at third base. In the outfield we have Larry Haas and Daryl Rabert alternating in left field, Bruce Shupp and James alternating in center field, and Byron Young in right field. Backing up James in the pitching department we have Lee Barto, Joe Nemeth, and Bob Horning.
