School teaches us to work with people. There are numerous organizations in school. As members of these organizations we learn to respect the wishes and opinions of others, to judge the quality of advocated ideas, to restrain our own ego and criticism, to think and to speak clearly, and to work with others for a common goal. We cooperate and are proud of our achievements. We develop a wholesome pride for our school and for our way of life. But most important of all, we realize friendship and recognize the value of others. seventeen

Personal opportunity and achievements were not limited to the Seniors. The other classes were also working and personal abilities and incentive were in evidence. Clubs and organizations also inspired students. Judy Dwyer, a Junior, gained recognition as a soloist for the band and choir. We can still remember the Christmas program and the hush of the audience as Judy sang O Holy Night. All the loyal Gator fans who felt pangs of hunger during football games appreciated the concession stand run by a crew of four Seniors: John Abbey, Kay Burleson, Rita McGonnell, and Catherine Butler. The girls opened bottles of coke and made change while John lugged cases of pop. ordered groceries, and gave orders. Their combined efforts, plus the cooperation of Mr. Farmelo, succeeded in earning $150. for the class. Judy Dwyer sixteen

School Teaches Us to Work with People. We Develop a Wholesome Pride for Our School and Our Way of Life THE BAND Where is harmony needed more than in music? Each Monday and Thursday our high school band meets and practices under the supervision of Mr. Moyer to produce this harmony. Our band is comprised of fifty students from grades six to twelve. The students begin to take lessons from Mr. Moyer in grade school; then they graduate to the Junior Band. Becoming more proficient, they become members of the Senior Band. Through the Pennsylvania Music Educators Association, they are given a chance to attend County, District, and State Festivals. To see and hear a snappy band on a Saturday afternoon makes a football game complete. Our band attended all the home games and a number of away games. It also presented two big concerts, one in the fall and one in the spring. Playing in a band develops a student’s musical talent, teaches him to work in a large group, and is a course in music appreciation. But belonging to the Band also means the thrill of being the center of attention as you march down the field, being able to cut up as you lead the Kid’s Halloween parade dressed in a fantastic costume, and getting that horrible, shaky feeling before a solo. eighteen
