ALMA MATER Far and wide though we may sojourn. Still our hearts are true To our dear old Alma Mater, Dear old white and blue. Just above the winding Lehigh Midst the mountains grand, Stands our dear old Alma Mater Famed throughout the land. High school, high school, our own high school, Dear old S.H.S. When afar from thee we wander. Thy dear name we’ll bless. SLATINGTON HIGH SCHOOL Slatington, Pennsylvania First Row: Gene Frit .inger, Jeanne Evans. Joanne Evans, Ann Jones, Elizabeth Andrews.

[30J CLASS HISTORY It was a dark stormy day when a hearty crew of one hundred and thirty-eight students set out on their voyage through Slatington High School. The dark menacing waves of knowledge lashed angrily at our ship, threatening to swallow up its occupants before we reached shore. Often the sun would disappear for weeks leaving the crew in a gloomy state of mind. But there were also the bright sun-shiney days when the ocean was as smooth as glass. In October of 1946, the crew stopped its labors to produce a ditty entitled, “Beads on A String”. Under the direction of Mrs. Anna Webster, the crew was favored with clear sailing. As we reached our second year we sailed through unchartered seas. Those who had become weary and seasick were lost to the vast ocean; never to reach shore with the others. Only with the help of our other sister-ships SS Juniors, SS Seniors and SS Faculty—were we able to continue. In our third year of service, we again took time out to appoint out officers: John Papay was chosen Captain of the Ship, with Mary Shoemaker as Commander, Jean Leuckel as Lieutenant Commander and Mary Lou Peters as Lieutenant Senior Grade and Miss Rachel Steckel and Mr. Lloyd Williams as Co-pilots. The sailing was becoming easier, we now were more adapted to the routine of our duties and we found that we had acquired sea legs. For some, however, the ocean was still too rough and the crew dwindled down to one hundred and six. Our ship docked three times during this part of the journey. First to proclaim our oratory abilities in the form of a Junior Declamation Contest, in which First Mate Charlotte Kern called upon everyone’s inner feelings with her heart stirring story “God’s Will Be Done”. At our next port of embarkation our sense of humor was called upon to appreciate the work of Miss Evelyn Morgan’s direction in “Sing For Your Supper”. Then we disembarked at New Orleans to attend a dinner and prom given in our honor, called “Come to the Mardi Gras”. Eleanor Kauffman, one of the beauties of the crew, was chosen Queen of the Festival. 1 his marked the final event of our third year’s journey. Those boarding the ship once again were glad to be back and regretfully waved good-bye to those on shore. Throughout the fourth year, the crew tried to make the voyage more enjoyable by sponsoring the romantic “Harvest Moon Dance” at which time the Swing Band made its debut. A “Snow Ball Frolic” was held aboard ship to celebrate the Christmas holidays. We dropped anchor at Ireland just long enough for the whole crew to enjoy the St. Patrick’s Day Dance, and to bring back with us a capable play director, Mr. Francis Sullivan, who worked with us on our production “Murder With Orchids”. As the journey reached its end the crew began work on their Farewell Dance, and Class Day. All one hundred and two members eagerly looked forward to the Class Trip and Baccalaureate Service. Finally the ship dropped anchor; our destination had been reached. Among happiness for themselves and sadness for those who had not completed the voyage, all faithful workers received their cherished diplomas at Commencement. Some of our ship mates are looking forward to another voyage on the ocean of knowledge, while others are satisfied with the knowledge they have acquired on this trip. It is safe to say, however, that all the officers and crew have benefited by the companionship and knowledge gained on this, our voyage through Slatington High School. [Ml CLASS PHOPHECY Main Street is really in an uproar today—flags, banners and people everywhere. Let’s read that banner over there: Welcome To Slatington AMERICAN COASTER DERBY ASSOCIATION GRAND CHAMPIONSHIP RACE October 7, 1963 We will have to find a good place to stand. How about standing in front of Bennett Avery’s Farm Equipment Store. There is Ben out in front of the store talking to Paul Bittner, Howard Althouse and Harold Geiger, three of the most prosperous farmers in Lehigh County. Through the window you can see Guy Schmick, Ralph Follweiler, and Wayne Frey admiring all the farm equipment and especially that new blue tractor with jet propulsion and rockets on the sides. Oh! There is a better place to stand, in front of William Mendsen’s new Hudson Garage. I hat’s Arthur Rehrig working on the car motor; he is assistant mechanic. Did you see Raymond Greenzweig the electrician, connecting the loud speaking system? Albert Bretz is testing the television cameras so that everyone not able to he here can see the race on their television sets. Across the street Jean Greenzweig and Shirley Marsh have just joined Ethel Kincher and Edna Henninger. They are all probably discussing the drudgeries of housework. Jean just bought a new rocket vacuum cleaner that is directed by a radio beam and Ethel said her new glass house was very difficult to keep clean. Standing next to them are Helene Pavelco and Pauline Cerrone who are talking about their new rocket washing machines as they wait for Jean Kuhnsman. Here she comes now. My, her hair-do is attractive. I wonder if she had an Atomic Cold Wave at Mary Hunsicker’s Beauty Salon. Did you hear that Betty Lou Herher worked there as a receptionist ? Here comes the parade! Leading it is Burgess John Papay, head of the Papay Slate Corporation. Following him are the associate judges, Roger Minnich, owner of Rexall Drugstore; Robert .Altrichter and Wade Roth managers of Slatington’s leading department store; Admiral Richard D. Evans; Richard P. Johnson, Sheriff of Lehigh County; Robert T. Kern, Chief Engineer of Slatington Construction Company and Congressman David W. Kern. Making a splendid appearance behind the judges can he seen the Slatington High School hand under the direction of Lawrence George. We can easily see that those snappy majorettes are well trained by the local gym teachers, Charlotte Kern and Mary Ann Shoemaker. Next in line is “The Marching Chorus” directed by Joan Ackerman, the local high school music teacher. They are singing an old favorite, “Mule Train.” The Navy seems well represented today as a group of Service Men march by. 1 homas Babyak and Richard Bauer are the officers in charge. When these two leave the Navy they plan to set up the Babyak and Bauer Finance Company. William Harwi, Ernest Hoffman, William Lever, and Raymond Rehrig who are all part of the crew of the “U. S. S. Slatington” are in the first row. In the second row are Richard House, John Pavelco, Richard Kern, and William Snyder. Each one is captain of his own ship. In the last row Edward Neff and Ernest Peters are two navy men, while Clarence Reinert, is a Corporal in the French Foreign Legion and Sterling Evans is a Marine Sergeant. The derby racers follow in single file. Number 12 is the son of Roy Farber, Jr., who his father hopes, will continue the family tradition of winning the race. Carl Confer an active church worker and Harry Scheffler, owner of the Slatington Electric Company, both hope their sons will make fine showings. Shirley Rehrig, Marjorie Metzger and June Hunsicker three happily married girls, are worried about their sons, who are also entered in the race. At the end of the derby run is a First Aid Station where five nurses, Barbara Bird, Nancy Behler, Marjorie Deichman, Lorraine Nicholas and Eleanor Kauffman are busily comparing cases. I hey all hope to work in the new Slatington Hospital which was completed last month. At the present time Elizabeth Andrews is in charge of the nurses in the new hospital. Dr. Carolyn Kreidler and her private secretary Joanne Evans, three nurses—Marie Fenstermaker, Marion Fenstermaker and Ann [ones have just returned from France to help in the setting up of a nurses school. Directly behind the First Aid Station is the Nancy Seibert Secretarial College. Nancv has won national acclaim for founding the first Secretarial College. Jean Leuckel is the dean of the College while Carolyn Mantz teaches typing; Nancy Kern, higher accounting; Melba Fritzinger, shorthand; and Gene Fritzinger instructs the pupils in the operation of office machines. Gene is the only person in the world who can operate the Rocket Adding, Multiplying, Dividing and Subtracting Machine. {32J CLASS PROPHECY (Continued) The favorite subject of conversation is the arrival of a Trans-World Airline jet plane at Victory Field this morning. The pilot was Donald Davies, famous test pilot for the Weaver Aircraft Factory. The President of this factory, Willard O. Weaver, will present the plane to the winner of the derby race. Also aboard the plane were Ronald C. Mackes a famous chemist; Bruce H. Hill, author of “Points on Friendship”; Winifred Knecht, opera singer; June Fritzinger, concert pianist; Mae Hollenbach, assistant cashier in the New York Second National Bank; Mary Lou Peters, research worker for Borden’s Food Company; and Mildred Rehrig, wife of a famous pianist. All of these people were made honorary judges. It seems as if the teachers and secretaries of the Slatingtion School System have all reserved seats in the same section. Donald Jones and Jack Garritv, art teachers, are sketching people standing in the crowd, Betty Hadinger and Jeanne Evans, English teachers, are discussing the wide use of had grammar. And the school librarian, Marlene Hausman, is trying to think of a book she read about Coaster Derbies. Also standing together are some of our class’s secretaries, Leona Bachman, Edna Reitz, and Jean Mack who are telling Loretta Welliver, their supervisor, that she keeps them entirely too busy. Even the wheels of industry have stopped for this great day. Ronald Roth, Lloyd Werley and Ronald Reitz are comparing their jobs and salaries. While Samuel Flick and Thomas Frable have stopped to talk to Robert Weaver, Jr., and Rhvnier B. Minnich, who are the managers of the Accounting Department in the factory in which Flick and F'rable work. Jeanne Heffner, Marilyn Mantz, and Jeanette Oncheck, Waves in the United States Navy, are telling Doris Wassum, Marilyn Sowden, and Joanne Hughes, three happy housewives, about their thrilling experiences while serving aboard the “U. S. S. Slatington.” It must be almost time for the race to begin. Did you know that some of our classmates have pretty unusual occupations? Darwin Marshall is a dog breeder and Norman Blose, a red beet grower in Nevada. Harold Minnich designs men’s neckties and Paul Nestor is a fur trader in the Canadian Yukon.

We think hack fondly to the day when first we entered here. We never thought that graduation day was quite so near. It took us weeks as Sopnomores to find our way around. We’d find ourselves in Snyder’s Lab. instead of underground. (Rm.2) We envied all those Seniors ’cause they always seeemed to know lust who and why and which and what and when and where to go. Before we knew it, time had passed, and Juniors we became. And how we wish that we had won that annual Turkey Game! Our Junior Play was quite the thing—we really thought it good. It’s funny that no offers ever came from Hollywood. (?) And now at last we’re Seniors. The year is nearly done. And soon we’ll bid our last farewell. It surely has been fun. Our loyal friends and teachers, too, we never will forget. The joyful years that we spent here we never will regret. —June Fritzinger [33J OUR FAVORITES First Row: Marv Shoemaker, Jean Kuhnsman.

FOOTBALL The Slatington High School football team had one of its best seasons this year under the supervision of Mr. Michael Burcin, Mr. William Horvath and Mr. LeRoy Schleicher. The Blue and White had a season’s record of five wins, three defeats and one tie. The victories being over East Stroudsburg, Nazareth, Lehighton, Stroudsburg, and our traditional Thanksgiving Day rival, Palmerton. The defeats were handed to us by Emmaus, Northampton, and Whitehall; the lone tie was with Catasauqua. Mr. Burcin issued a call for candidates for the team late in August with about forty-five boys turning out. He depended on the veterans from the forty-eight season and tried to replace new boys in the spots stdl vacant. The line, although light, was one of the toughest lines in the valley. It was this fast charging line which accounted for many a loss by the opponents. The backfield was made up of new material as well as new personnel switched from line to hack-field. Although inexperienced to backfield play these boys practiced on fundamentals for weeks until they learned them. The result can be seen in their accomplishments. The help of the line and the backfield playing as a team gave Slatington its victorious season. For the first time in the school’s history a Jay-Vee team was organized with Mr. LeRoy Schleicher as the coach. All hoys from ninth grade thru to the eleventh were eligible to play. Although the jay-vees did not have too successful a season the experience gained was very valuable. In four games they lost to Emmaus, Stroudsburg, and Palmerton; and played a tie with Catasauqua. The seniors who will leave the varsity squad are: Thomas Babyak, Richard House, Edward Neff, John Papay, Captain; John Pavelco, Arthur Rehrig, Ronald Reitz, Wade Roth, Harry Scheffler, William Snyder, and Willard Weaver.

BASKETBALL Despite the fact that our basketball team lost most of their games this past season, our boys really did show their usual, excellent sportsmanship and good playing ability. Under the able supervision of Coach Lloyd Williams, our team won three league games, and four non-league tilts, with a total loss of eleven games. In the first half the Slaters were handed six defeats and won only one game. The second half of the season began, however with a bang. Our boys nosed out Stroudsburg, but this victory was followed by three defeats. Not overshadowed with lack of confidence, the Slaters pulled a surprise defeat by edging out Northampton by a score of 60-46. The season closed with two defeats for Slatington. Notwithstanding the fact that the odds were against us in the “Catty” game, our boys continued to show their eagerness and ability of fair play. By threatening the victory of the Rough Riders, our boys really showed Catasauqua what the “under dogs” could do. However the Rough Riders pulled ahead in the second half of that game and won by the score of 59-44. Next year's team will be missing quite a number of able and efficient players, when they set out to strap and overtake their opponents. Surely everyone will notice the absence of our season’s high scorer Thomas Babyak, plus Jack Garrity, John Papay, Roy Farher and Billy Mendson. One of the team’s managers “Art” Rehrig will also be leaving. Following Thomas Babyak as high scorer, were William Garrity and “Fritz” Martin respectively. Even though these fellows chalked up most of the winning points, we must accredit the entire squad for their fine work and cooperation which was shown so exquisitely. Our Jay-Vees, under their hard-fighting Coach “Mike” Burcin once again had a very successful season. We can he certain, that the addition of some of these Jay-Vees players will bring much benefit and success to next year’s Varsity Squad. Success, and plenty of luck to our next year’s team; may the Slaters take the championship. Dec.

GIRLS BASKETBALL Have you seen blue and white streaks flash across the gym floor? Have you wondered what they are? Why, that’s our girls’basketball squad. Under the able supervision of Mrs. Abbey Kane, these youthful amazons have journeyed to Whitehall, Palmerton, Emmaus, and Catasauqua, and have entertained these same teams, plus the Alumnae, at home. Although our leaping lassies excel in speed, teamwork, and accuracy, they still possess, beyond a doubt, those feminine attributes that are so pleasing to the eye. As you watch Mary Shoemaker adjust her pinney and Joanne Evans replace a stray curl, you wonder how such luscious bits of femininity are able to chalk up sky-high scores. The secret is practice—and practice—and practice. To you, Mrs. Kane, we give our heart-felt thanks for so generously devoting your time, effort, and knowledge to giving the sports-minded girls of Slatington High School a recreation of which they can be proud.

BOYS’ GYM CLUB Slatington High School’s Gym Club is organized to afford an opportunity to those who desire a more complete phase of gymnastics and tumbling. Many individuals, not able to express themselves in other activities, find an opportunity for recognition in sports of this nature. The boys in this club feel they improve the entire musculature with emphasis on building up their body strength. The sport itself encourages quick and correct decision and action in the acquisition of the new skills, as well as, the maintaining of physical fitness by continuing practice on skills previously learned. The Boys’ Gym Club presents a public appearance annually, thereby affording an opportunity for expression of individual and dual performances. have attained honorable mention in this field.

DRUM MAJORETTES If anyone deserves a word of praise, it’s the majorettes and the color guards. These girls, along with their director, Mrs. Kane, have put in many long hours of good, hard work to perfect the tricky routines which you all have seen at the football and basketball games and in various parades. I hese girls have traveled with the band to all the regular league football games. Although they roasted at one game and froze at the next, the show still went on. The majorettes and color guards participated in the Slatingtion and Catasauqua Hallowe’en parades, and attended the “Marching Band” contest at Bethlehem on December 3. They marched in the Slatington and Rosetta Armistice Day parades. Prizes were awarded to them at Slatington, Rosetta, and Catasauqua. The graduating girls are our smiling leader, Joanne Evans; the majority of the back row, Doris Wassum, Nancy Kern, and June Fritzinger; flag-bearer Jean Leuckel, and the color guard Charlotte Kern. Joan Seip, our snappy Band Majorette, will be here next year to lead the group on to even greater glories. We wish good luck to those we leave behind. May their batons never tarnish and their hands never tire. [421 Kneeling: Nancy Seibert, Mary Shoemaker, Ann Jones. Standing: Doris Leiby, Patricia Schaffer. CHEERLEADERS Our attractive cheerleaders certainly need recognition for the splendid work they have done during the football and basketball seasons. Having worked together for a long time they have shown fine co-operation among themselves. We commend them for having the right school spirit. These five girls led the student body in all school cheers. They have traveled with the teams to all out-of-town games, as well as those at home. On the eve of the Slatington-Palmerton Football game these girls, with the assistance of the majorettes and color guard, gave us one of the finest Pep rallies we attended during our high schooldays. To the girls who will leave us at graduation, Mary Shoemaker, Ann Jones and Nancy Seibert, we wish the best of luck and success. You have left in each of the Slatington High students a feeling good sportsmanship and fine cooperation.

The purpose of this club is to promote projects which will improve the calibre of our high school teams; to develop interest in Slatington High School athletics; to improve our sportsmanship toward our competitors and to set up a scholarship fund which can be drawn upon by athletes who wish to further their education. All members of the faculty who are connected with sports in the high school make up the Advisory Committee which appoints the club advisors. In accomplishments, this club, although new, has sponsored the basketball game between the faculty and the varsity of the high school.

STUDENT COUNCIL President.....................................................................................Thomas Bab yak Pice-President..................................................................................John Papay Secretary..................................................................................Mary Shoemaker Treasurer..................................................................................Mary Lou Peters Advisor..............................................................................Mr. Wii.liam Horvath In the eight years of its existence, the Student Council has promoted the participation of students and teachers in school government; succeeded in offering a more varied program of social activities; and continued with the work already begun by the previous councils. Regular meetings are held twice a month by the officers and home-room representatives elected to their positions by the student body and serve for a term of one year. This year the Student Council presented a bucking machine to be used by the football team, a school flag and an American flag to the school. One of the goals for the coming councils will be the purchasing and installation of a television set for the Recreation Room. When the students returned to school this year, they noticed the new coat of paint which made the Recreation Room even more attractive. Members of the council this year have as their main theme, “Work in the Recreation Room.” The council was also proud to present an award to the winners of the Pennsylvania Week Quiz and to the home room which was best decorated at Christmas time. The annual “Sadie Hawkins Fun Night” was accompanied by its usual fun and tricks. The memories of our dignified teachers being tortured will live long in our minds. A Christmas Dance and Open House were held in the Recreation Room on the Thursday night before Christmas. Music was rendered by the Swing Band. The aims and accomplishments of Student Council have tended toward the promotion of a spirit of co-operation among the students and a fine attitude toward the school.

NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Once a year, the principal requests that a certain group, composed of Juniors and Seniors, report to him. They are informed that they have been selected by the unanimous vote of all the teachers as members of the National Honor Society. If you would look carefully, you would see that five per cent of the Junior Class and ten percent of the Senior Class are present. Each person receives a pin or charm which signifies his membership. Being among such a group is the dream of every student, for the National Honor Society is the highest goal for the high school student to attain. To be selected as a member of this group a student must excell in these four qualities.: Character A student must meet responsibilities to the school and teachers, must demonstrate reliability and honesty, must possess desirable qualities of personality, must cooperate with school regulations, and must uphold the principles of ethics and morality. Scholarship. . .A student must rank in the first quarter of his class scholastically. Leadership . A student must hold a position of responsibility or hold a school office, must portray leadership in the classroom and in school activities, must exert influence on others to bring out their best qualities, and must promote proper school spirit. Service........A student must show courtesy in all his duties, must perform committee or staff work, and must render any service to the community through the school.

These issues were made possible by the combined efforts and co-operation of the four departments and the faculty advisors. During the year the “Slate” acquired a new cover, a regular page design and entire pages of art. These changes were made possible through the efforts of the Art Department. Decorated by the art was the excellent material contributed by the Editorial Staff. Remember the Chit Chat column in which everyone wanted to see his name. I hen there were the Question Box and feature stories to make you laugh, the editorials and puzzles to make you think, the Crystal Ball to give you a forward glance and all the latest news for you to catch up on. Who did all the work of setting up the articles, then typed and mimeographed them ? I he Production Department, of course. No one, besides the members of this department, realizes the great amount of work connected with producing this news-magazine within the school. To the Advertising Staff goes the credit of raising the funds which have made the “Slate almost completely self-supporting. The members sold programs at the football games and advertising space to business men in our community. Many improvements have been made this year and we sincerely hope that future staffs will be able to add still more. The best of luck to them and to all future “Slates.” [481 First Row: Constance Bauer, Carl Cunfer, Charlotte Kern, Joan Breisch. Helena Pavelco, Nancy Coombs, Joan Ackerman.

Constance Bauer .....Bennett Avery Miss Evelyn Naylor Joan sighed as she sat down after opening the daily meeting of the Pro and Con Club of Slatington High. “How boring,” she thought to herself. Oh, she wasn’t bored because of the lack of slowness of the club’s activities. On the contrary the club’s activities keep its members stepping. I he reason for her boredom was because the club had learned parliamentary procedure quite well and were sticking to the rules. As President she was unable to express her opinions on the lively discussion being carried on by the club. In the past the Pro and Con Club has done a good job of debating. At the preliminary scramble debates the members of this club did very well on the question Resolved: That All Radio Giveaway Programs Should He Abolished. The members have high hopes for the future also. The main national question for this season is Resolved: That the President of the United States Should He Elected by a Direct Vote of the People. In the club there are two affirmative teams and two negative teams. Although debating is the main activity, it is not the only one. The members have learned much about public speaking such as correct posture, pronunciation, ennunciation, timing, and writing good speeches by employing useful criticisms on the part of the members and supervisor. I he club also intends to spend some time on drama. It is only through the untiring efforts of the advisor of the Pro and Con Club, Miss Evelyn Naylor that all these projects are made possible. We wish her and the members of this club much success in all their undertakings.

The Tri-Hi-Y Club stands for the all around development of its members -Spirit, Mind, Body and serves three main training agencies—Home, Church, School. This year the Tri-Hi-Y sponsored the Valentine Dance. A Sweetheart with her escort was chosen. Personality, standards, and participation in the club’s activities are considered as the basis for her selection. The Easter Assembly Program and the Infantile Paralysis Campaign were two important functions of this group. The club, with the Hi-Y, sponsored the filling of Christmas baskets for the retired teachers who showed their appreciation by sending thank-you notes to the club. One of the high spots of the year is the Tri-Hi-Y and Hi-Y Rally which is held in a church and followed by a social rendezvous usually in a nearby Y.M.C.A. This year the members journeyed to Nazareth. Teen Talk, the Life Problem Discussion Course, is an important factor in the club’s program. New methods of teaching the lesson were devised to hold the interest of the members. Some of the main topics discussed concerned persaonality, religion, gambling and our democracy versus other forms of government. The Bible was very often referred to. Every summer, usually during June, three newly elected officers are sent to the Tri-Hi-Y Camp Lookout where they learn more about the organization, and are prepared for their following year of office. New ideas for the club program are offered by members of various Tri-Hi-Y clubs. All of us members think that this club is one of the most beneficial of all in its activities. The advisory committee is composed of Mrs. Earl Hartman, Reverend R. Maxwell Paine, and Mr. Francis J. Sullivan.

This is the Hi-Y Club for hoys. Hi-Y helps the school and its students by teaching the members the correct manner of behavior in school and community life; in this way it is an aid to the community too. At the weekly meetings Christian ideals are brought up and diverse problems are discussed in a Christian light. There are projects and activities in which the members participate. Rallies and conferences are held at which time the members of all the Hi-Y Clubs in this vicinity become acquainted and talk over their accomplishments, problems and future projects. This club endeavors to create in all its members a healthy Christian outlook on life. [51J First Row: Carl Peters, Darwin Marshall, Julia Mack.

BAND The Band, under the supervision of Mr. Angelo Scarselletti, has proved to be a success for the Slatington High School. The members of the band are taught the different types of music literature. The band experience helps the students in sight reading and musical interpretations, thus it fosters their own cultural background. Military music is one of the styles used. This is used for football and basketball games, also a great majority of it is used for band concerts. The public is informed as to what is going on within the music department through parades and concerts.

ORCHESTRA % The Orchestra, under the capable supervision of Mr. Angelo Scarselletti, has a slight renovation from the past. One of the main purposes of this orchestra is to get a slant on the type of music by great composers. Music by great composers has a trend to bring back and to have more string instruments in a high school. Music, in its field, has many branches that have not been discovered or completed. You acquire knowledge that can be used throughout your life, while most sports end after high school or college.

SWING BAND Under the direction of Mr. Angelo Scarselletti, the newly organized Slatington High School Swing Band is for the sole purpose of acquainting the students in the musical field with an entirely different type of music. As you well know, swing music follows the trend of the time and changes very often; it is not like classical music which rarely changes. To some of the popular music there is no background to it whatever and very little rythmn. Swing music is written in the manner in which it is, mainly to sell music to the mass of people and is for the enjoyment of the people. Swing music has an entirely different type of music syncopation which is left out by the classical composers. To play swing one must he a good musician and must he able to perform in these different idioms which are Military Band, Concert Band and Orchestra. The Swing Band has played for many dances and other affairs held in the high school. 1 he Student Council has had the hand play in the Recreation Room during the lunch period for the enjoyment of those eating there. We hope that they have enjoyed it and that the Swing Band may continue to function with as much success as it has this year.

CHORUS Practically all of the music lovers of our high school belong to the Chorus. This group, under the baton of Miss Velma Oswald, meets every Thursday afternoon in the auditorium. Marlene Hausman checks the attendance and June Fritzinger presides at the piano. Of the many members who auditioned for the P. M .F. A. Eastern District Chorus, five chorus-ters received parts. The lucky people were Ronald Mackes, Robert Altrichter, Marlene Hausman, Constance Bauer, and June Fritzinger. The P. M. E. A. Eastern District Chorus, consisting of students from the majority of the schools of eastern Pennsylvania, presented its annual concert at Allentown on April 20, 21, and 22, 1950. Several of the senior members made a broadcast over station WSAN on January 11, 1950. This same group also took part in the Christmas Assembly which was under the direction of Miss Oswald and Mr. Stettler. To all the graduating senior members of the chorus were given emblems to designate that they were a part of the Slatington High School Chorus.

CANTORIA CHOIR The high school Cantoria Choir, under the direction of Miss Velma Oswald, was organized for the purpose of acquainting students, especially interested in vocal work, with compositions written by the classical and modern composers other than that supplied in the regular choral work and to let the members of this organization perform these special compositions in public. For an organization which is now just two years old, the Cantoria Choir, has had a large list of engagements in various churches, including the rededication service of the Friedens Church and the Faster service held in the Heidelberg Church, as well as in the school and for civic organizations. The Senior members of the Cantoria Choir sang in the Christmas Program for the Senior High School Christmas Assembly and also sang over Station WSAN, Allentown, in connection with the Lehigh County Branch P.S.E.A. programs presented by the various schools in the county. Five of the members of this choir had the privilege of attending the District P.M.E.A. Chorus held in Allentown this April. This chorus was under the direction of Doctor Arthur Jones of West Chester State Teachers College. May Miss Oswald have continued success with the Cantoria Choirs in the years to come.

Three cheers for the senior members who were all eligible for the award presented by the club to any senior who has belonged for two years, served seventy-five percent of her assigned time in the library and has passed a short test of shelf reading. A new project this year was the decoration of the library bulletin board each month by groups of members who volunteered to do this. Each month a suitable theme was stressed and books connected with this theme were advertised. The purpose of this project is one of the chief aims of the club ... to arouse and heighten in each and every student an interest in the library and give to him a knowledge of its advantages. [57!

When Stephen Foster Brown applied for the job of music teacher at Mr. Piper’s home, things really started happening. Laurie Piper and her girlfriend Joanie, are ardent fans of the Mystery Crooner, to whom they send love letters every night. They are sure that if they should happen to meet him. they would recognize him immediately, although they each have different ideas as to what he looks like. Even Ramona, the maid, swoons over him. Laurie’s younger sister, Pinkey, mimics them and manages to irritate them quite a hit. However, she usually gets the worst of the argument. Stephen reveals to Susan (because she is so sensible) that he is really the Mystery Crooner. Susan keeps his secret, hut sometimes she wonders if he doesn’t like all the girls swooning over him. To add to her misery of being a “sensible girl”, she falls in love with Stephen quite unintentionally. When Stephen first enters the Piper home, he encounters a strange scene—Pinkey on the floor, her feet in the air against the sofa, and both Laurie and Joanie pummeling her with their fists and pulling her hair. Stephen runs to the rescue, and instantly the assailants entertain a thorough dislike for him. (They didn’t dream that this was the Mystery Crooner). Ranny and Biff, who are also unaware of Stephen’s identity, have grown tired, of being neglected because of a mere crooner and form a plan to turn the tables and kill two birds with one stone, since they also have a personal grudge against Steve. They frame Steve, so that the girls think he is the crooner. To the hoys’ dismay, the plan backfired. The girls just love “that beautiful rude manner of his”. Complications arise, and Steve finds himself engaged to four girls! (Susan, whom he really loves, Laurie; Joanie; and even Ramona!) The climax arrives at a dinner party. Laurie, Joanie, and Ramona each secretly plan to announce their engagements. There is friction as each girl protests that she is engaged to Steve who is righteously amazed. Biff and Ranny, who invited themselves with one intent to eat, confess their part in the “frame-up”. Steve’s conscience forces him to admit he is the “Mystery Crooner”. Susan also has a confession—though everyone insisted she was sensible, she had always listened to Steve’s program in the privacy of her room. Of course, everything turns out swell. The heroine and the hero, (Susan and Steve) team up, and live “happily eve-rafter”. The underlying current of comedy is Mrs. Piper’s entering the room with the same demand of her hen-pecked husband, “Did you take your pill, pet?” Many thanks to the stage manager, property-woman and prompter—Robert Kern, Mary Lou Peters and Elizabeth Andrews, respectively.

Meetings are held once a month, at which time many social and business activities are participated in. During the term of ’49 and 50, colored slides were shown of Roman dress and customs. In December, the club celebrated the Saturnalia, which corresponds to our Christmas. The Roman’s greeting, as our “Merry Christmas!”, is “Io Saturnalia.” A playlet was enacted to compare an American Christmas with the Roman Saturnalia. Cookies were served in the shape of small men to remind the members of the clay dolls exchanged by the Romans. The most popular event of the year was the Roman Banquet, held in April, to celebrate Rome’s birthday, which is April 21. Members dressed in the Roman style, togas and tunics, using many pieces of costume jewelry. An elaborate banquet with three courses was produced.

Membership in this club is open to all students who have studied either the Spanish or the German languages. Regular meetings are held every second and fourth Tuesday of the month at which time we participate in contests among the Spanish and the German students and also participate in singing foreign songs and learn folk dances. The purpose of this club is chiefly to attain a closer feeling and understanding of the people in these foreign lands; to learn their games and songs; to become acquainted with their habits and customs. Some outstanding projects of the year were foreign correspondence among the students and supporting various programs for the aid of the people overseas.

FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA The close of the tenth year of Vocational Agriculture of Slatington marks another year of repeated success to its members and able advisor, Mr. Jay Hagenbuch. The year was filled with events that made Slatington F. F. A. chapter, one of the most outstanding and popular in the state. They participated in contests held at both the Reading and Allentown Fair where the chapter received more than fifty prizes. The hoys entered their exhibits at the Harrisburg Farm Show which included the booth exhibit and attended the affair as a group. The Slatington F. F. A. received a few prizes at the Farm Show. The group took third place in the state project contest in the field of potatoes, poultry, hogs and farm account books. This contest has heavy competition with schools participating which have two or more Vocational Agriculture advisors. The group sold a little over a thousand dollars worth of Eastern State’s seeds to the farmers in surrounding areas. One of the members of Slatington F. F. A. was chosen as Vice-President of Bucks-Lehigh and Montgomery Chapter Regional F. F. A. An ex-Vocational Agriculture student wras chosen among the five best poultry boys in Northeastern United States. He, along with another ex-student, are trying for the Star Farmer degree. Four hoys including an ex-Vocational Agriculture member and our President received Keystone farmer degree awards at the Keystone Convention held during farm show week.

All these students have the great expectation of becoming teachers. It is only fair to mention the names of the three Seniors of last year, who were instrumental in the organization of the club. They were Edwin Cunfer, Louise Gilhert, and Edwin Miller. The club was named after Benjamin Franklin because of his great contributions to education. The purpose of the club is to learn the qualities of a good teacher, take part in activities and projects which will help prepare the members to take their place in the teaching profession, and to study and discuss actual problems which might meet the future teacher. Each meeting is opened with the Future Teacher’s Pledge which is: THE GOOD TEACHER REQUIRES: Physical Vitality: I will try to keep my body well and strong. Mental vigor: 1 will study daily to keep my mind active and alert. Moral Discrimination: I will seek to know the right and to live by it. Wholesome personality: I will cultivate in myself good-will, friendliness, poise, upright hearing, and careful speech. Helpfulness: I will learn the art of helping others by doing helpful things daily in school and home. Knowledge: I will fill my mind with worthy thoughts by observing the beautiful works around me, by reading the best hooks, and by association with the best companions. Leadership: I will make my influence count on the side of right, avoiding habits that weaken and destroy. These things will I do now that I may he worthy of the high office of teacher. To this newly organized club goes the sincere best wishes of all the members of the graduating class, for it is to you that we will look in future years for guidance, leadership and knowledge.
