Slatington High School - Reflections Yearbook (Slatington, PA)

Text from Pages 1 - 152 of the 1957 volume:

Foreword A trickling mountain stream is converted into a mighty river by the magnificent powers of nature. As the river flows along, it increases in strength, magnitude, and grandeur and, on reaching its peak, it flows into the ocean. So our lives have been nurtured, strengthened, and established by our school and teachers. We have been guided along the course of our lives and now, we, also, have reached our peak, and are prepared to step out into life. Come with us as we follow the flow of our river, from its source to its widest point, and notice the banks, tributaries, and rapids which helped to bring it to its present fullness. Dedication Administration Faculty Junior High Sophomores ______ Juniors ....... Classes --------- Activities Sports Seniors — Senior Activities Advertisers_______ Lest we forget one whose memory we shall always cherish within our hearts, we, the graduating class of 1957, pay tribute to our friend and classmate, Lee Wotring. Lee was a great sport enthusiast. He was always willing to support any school function, and attended all football and basketball games. It was while enroute home from one of our games that Lee met his tragic death. We will always remember Lee as a true friend and class- mate. Dedication In appreciation for all the services she so willingly rendered to our class and our school, we, the graduating class of 1957, proudly dedicate our yearbook to Miss Evelyn Naylor, teacher of French, German and Speech. Languages which are spoken many miles from here are vividly set before us by the capable teaching of Miss Naylor. As director of Speech she has led our debate teams to nine consecutive district triumphs, and has spent many hours coaching us for Junior Declamation and many forensic contests. Her endless devotion as guidance counselor and advisor of Tri-Hi-Y, Future Teachers and Internationa] Friendship Clubs is greatly admired and appreciated by all. Slatington Senior High School 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. From the SOURCE of the river comes its strength; from the AD- MINISTRATION of Slatington High School comes its leadership, direction, and strength. “From its sources which well In the Tarn on the fell; From its fountains in the mountains, Its rills and its gills” SOUTHEY—Cataract of Lodore 9 Left to right: Russell E.

They checked our river banks and made sure that no flaws existed. Left to right: Mrs. Marie Deibert, Miss Muriel Wil- liams. Secretary, Miss Jeanette Gehringer, and Miss Ellen Gehringer. Administration Striving endlessly to provide a curriculum that answers the needs of every student, and succeeding in their efforts were the principals of our school. Mr. Evans, Mr. Baugher, and Mr. Snyder served us faithfully in their capacity of administrators. It would be impossible to have an efficient school with- out sensible management. The Northern Lehigh Joint School Board provides us with equipment necessary for school and its functions. They obtain our teachers and they make certain that the school is in good running order at all times. F a c u Ity BANKS hold the river in its bed and keep it flowing along its course. The guidance, advice, and wisdom of the FACULTY direct the'stu- dents along their trail of life. The assistance the teachers give keeps the pupils on the narrow, rugged course leading to success. “With many a curve my banks 1 fret By many a field and fallow . . .” TENNYSON—The Brook Fac ROBERT DREISBACH Business Mathematics, Commercial Geography, Senior Class Advisor.

Cias The deepest, strongest, swiftest, most significant parts of the river are the CHANNELS. The founda- tion of the lives of students is the knowledge, learning, and wisdom that they gain from their high school career. The channels in the lives of the students are their CLASSES. “Accept my bed, or narrow or wide” LANIER—Song of the Chattahoochee 55 Sentence structure and grammar were explained and reviewed thoroughly by Mrs. Roeder. English “Friends, Romans, Countrymen, Lend Me Your Ears! Julius Caesar under Mr. Reese’s direction.

Miss Steckel taught us all the essentials in the Plane Geometry Course. Mathematics We dealt with space and solid geometrical figures in Mr. Stettler’s Solid Geometry Class. We also explored the triangle in Trig Class. rj—r We discussed conditions of early American life in Mr. Snyder’s History Class. History Science We dissected frogs and diagrammed their interior for Mr. Bender in Biology Class. Among the things Mr. Kemp taught us was the typing of letters and the swift and correct method of preparing a manuscript. Business Mr. Horvath taught us how to correctly fill out income tax forms and various other things, and to keep neat and accurate office records. o oooooo « «3 We were taught how to use the new types of business machines and how to be courteous and efficient secretaries by Mrs. Herrity in Office Practice Class.

We planned and spon- sored a Christmas Party, at which the Tri-Hi-Y was our guest. Hi - Y and Our Hi-Y attended the rallies held at Bethlehem and Stroudsburg to learn more about living a good life with God. Much was learned from these confer- ences. The purpose of the Tri-Hi-Y, “To create, maintain, and extend throughout the home, school and community, high standards of Christian character,” was successfully attained by their many duties and projects. Tri-Hi-Y f Their large and varied program in- cluded the help and co-operation of all members. Recognizing their duties and abilities, they aided community drives, and spon- sored a Valentine’s Dance. They also conducted World Day of Prayer Service, and participated in the U.N. Model As- sembly, held in Harrisburg. I Lights! Camera! Action! Ah. that “show business” atmosphere! That atmosphere that this group of people finds so very interesting and enjoyable! Here they are in the midst of a scene from one of their productions. This organization strives to recreate and reproduce the high- points of drama. The mellow voices of the Senior Chorus members flowed across the hall as they presented their annual concert. May 12. 1957. The Chorus under the leadership of Mrs. A. Evans is comprised of Sophomore. Junior, and Senior boys and girls. Chorus I The Varsity “S” is an honorary club consisting of athletes who have ob- tained their athletic letter. A night of humor and fun in Smith Hall, including a faculty basketball game, a gym exhibi- tion, and dancing was the high spot of the club’s activities this year. Should the government aid the farmer? If so, to what extent? We debated this topic earnestly, sincerely, and with the will to win. We had a very successful season and we know our efforts were not in vain. rhe Future Teachers Club is an organization which discusses and carries out projects which teachers must do in order to he successful. Its main purpose is to prepare the students for their future jobs. Future T eachers of America Library Club The members of the Library Club took care of the Library with enthusiasm. They were always willing to help students find information or an inter- esting book. They also kept the bulletin board timely, displaying the. many books which we possess. 72 Future Nurses Throughout the year, our Future Nurses Club has had films and has made tours of hospitals in order to help the girls choose a training school wisely and to assure them they have chosen the right career. Future Business Leaders _ ■—- Although this is the infant club of our school, it proved to be a most ambitious service organization, since it aided the science and math departments by typing various experiments and work sheets. Our business students gained a lot of experience through this club. During the year, the Photog- raphy Club made several scenic field trips on which they took many unusual pictures. They learned the creative art of devel- oping and printing the pictures they took. Photography Club With muscle co-ordination and grace, members of the gym club performed at basketball games and gave exhibitions before the eyes of the amazed spectators. Thrills and excitement made everyone gasp as the boys tum- bled and flipped down the mats. Here we find our art club trying to capture the splendor and beauty of their surroundings. They have learned to appreciate art in all its forms and to look for the meaning an object por- trays. ■ - ' : ■ • Art Club National Honor The primary requisite for membership in this honorary society is the displaying of such admirable qualities as scholarship, lead- ership, service, and citizenship. These stu- dents, who have rendered outstanding services to their school, have been selected for mem- bership by a faculty committee. Homecoming Day with the alumni returning to relate some of their experiences, was the big event spon- sored by the National Honor Society. f We donned our togas, stolas, and tunics for our annual Roman Banquet and practiced what we learned of ancient Roman customs. The “Slate” Latin Club Sports, editorials, activities, top tunes, teen chatter and all the news from S.H.S. can he read in the “Slate.” The “Slate” is published every month by our very competent staff. Its publications have brought hack many memories which might have otherwise been forgotten. En th usi asm COLORGUARDS N. Serfass. J. Muschlitz. M. Balliet, B. Landis, P. Lakavagc, R. Gar rity.

Rose Ann and Janet rest their aching feet, and soak in Washington’s sunshine. Happy seniors are preparing the scene for the St. Paddy’s dance. Miss Mackes strives diligently to remove an ocean liner’s tar from her “tootsies.” These seniors are full of novel ideas. Here they’re building a snow man with no snow!! Here some seniors are seen thoroughly enjoying one of their many sightseeing tours on the class trip. Seniors trim a gala tree for the ever-popular Christmas dance. Cur ren ts “Mush” and Dale use their “Hot Air” to supply balloons for the St. Paddy’s dance. This group is enjoying a social hour after an F.T.A. conference held in Slatington High School.

A romantic group makes love to a real handsome “fellow.” Senior The REFLECTIONS of the river cast pictures of fond memories, events, and activities of the class of 1957. . . . on a river of crystal light EUGENE FIELD— Wynken, Blynken, and Nod 125 Junior Prom On the night of April 7, 1956, we, the members of the class of 1957, entered Smith Hall. Yes, the big night had come, we were attending our Junior Prom. As we came through the door, we saw a great bridge before us. This bridge led us into the gym; and as we crossed, we seemed to leave the United States behind, for there before us was Paris in all its splendor and beauty. Standing tall and erect was the Eiffel Tower, and the sky was radiantly alive with stars. We walked on and met our chaperons at a sidewalk cafe so real and alive that we forgot that we were in Slatington, Pa. As we danced around the floor we heard the trickling of water and there, much to our surprise, were two fountains. Then came the moment we had all been waiting for. To the grains of April in Paris, played by the Cosmopolitans, the Junior Court was walking under the Eiffel Tower and finally came our queen, Gail Edwards, and her escort. Jack Beers. She was crowned by our class president. Dick Thomas. 126 Left side, left to right: N. Bear, W. Kistler, A. Grim, B. Farber, R. Henry, R. Pickel, M. Mackes, C. Muschlitz, J. Wanamaker, C. Smith. Right side, left to right: R. Reitz, L. Schellhamer, H. Valora. N. Jacoby, E. Seiler, M. Heckman, D. Kern, S. German, T. Kochmaruk, R. Babyak. On the night of February 9, 1957, we found ourselves dancing around a huge heart to the music of Bob McClister. Above us were many stars guiding us through the happy evening. The highlight of the evening was the crowning of the 1957 Sweetheart, Marilee Heckman, by our Tri-Hi-Y President, Rose Ann Babyak. It was a very eventful evening and will be remembered by all. 127 St. Patrick’s Dance While sitting on a green shamrock or a bobbing bal- loon or even while hanging from a white arch, I was happy to see everyone dancing to the music of Joe Resetar and his orchestra. You see, I'm the little elf that hung up the “Erin Go Bragh” sign. Christmas Dance It was the evening of De- cember 15, 1956, when gaily- dressed girls, with handsome escorts, attended the Christ- mas Dance, which was spon- sored by the Senior Class. As we entered Smith Hall, before us stood a huge pine tree decorated in silver tinsel and blue lights; a9 we walked around the floor we found little trees decorated in glis- tening tinsel. It was truly an enjoyable evening as we danced around the floor to the music of Bob McClister and his orchestra. The “Evergreen Ball” will long be remembered by all. The sweet smell of blooming flowers, the sound of a trickling fountain, and the laughter of gay hearts enhanced the Senior Farewell, “A Touch of Spring. ’ Chaperons and honored guests enjoy an eve- ning of dancing and relaxation at the Senior Farewell. Senior Farewell Lovely ladies of the Senior Class pose with their beaux. Behind the Footlights Surely Shakespeare would have rolled over in his grave if he were aware of what the Class of 1957 was doing to his “Midsummer Night’s Dream” in their Junior Class production, “A Midsummer Night’s Screaim Laughter saturated the air, screams and shrieks shook the rafters, trembling ladies rocked the seats as our classmates por- trayed a group of teen-agers attempting to produce a Shakespearean play in a “haunted” theater to raise money for a youth center. Seated, left to right: K. Thomas, class president; Miss E. Naylor, dramatic coach; D. Kern, N. J. Jacoby, M. Mackes, P. Forshaw, Dr. A. Erskine, head of the speech department at Muhlenberg College; E. Benninger, A. Grim, S. German, and C. H. Muschlitz. The winners pictured in the center are D. Kern, M. Mackes, P. Forshaw, and N. Jacoby. With the Class of ’57 The Junior Declamation Contest provided our class with their first taste of the bright lights, audience applause, and stage fright. Our successful declaimers fascinated the audience with their outstanding oral ability, moved them with their tales of sorrow, fear and danger, inspired them with Biblical narratives and thoroughly entertained them with a trip to a lunatic asylum, a revised version of Little Red Riding Hood, and “Lillian Lorraine’s” striking dramatic ability as she auditioned for a New York stage production. Our classmates stepped before the foot- lights of S. H. S. for the last time in their final production of “The Late Chris Bean.” Things started popping in the Haggett House- hold when very valuable oil paintings were discovered in the possession of pious Dr. Milton Hag- gett. A hilarious and intriguing play com- plete with mystery, romance, comedy, plot, and suspense added another star to our class’s hall of achievements. Some of the seniors check a map to see if they are on the right trail in Washington. The class of 1957 takes time out to pose for a pictorial souvenir of their fabulous class trip. Class Trip Here we find two of our boys relaxing at one of the many memorial statues in Wash- ington. These are but a few of our talented boys that performed on our “Showboat.” and Class Day The “Mechanics” of “Showboat ’57” kept our class day exercises running smoothly. Here we find many of the seniors relaxing and discussing the Peace Memorial at Gettysburg. Our sailors are clearing the deck of “Show- boat ’57” to the tune of “Bubbles.” Commencement The Class of 1957 proceeds from the Lincoln Building to Smith Hall for the climax of their high school career. Salutatorian Alfred Smith is congratulated by the Reverend Mr. George Bickel, who delivered the Baccalaureate ad- dress. His message centered around life’s three major decisions—“Whom will you serve?”; “What will you do?”; “Whom will you marry?” The Rev. Mr. Ritter offered prayer at the service. Activities President of West Chester State Teachers’ College, Dr. Charles Swope, speaks informally to valedictorian, Suzanne German. Dr. Swope urged the class members of 1957 to keep faith, to hope, and to dream. t i s e r s A river has a SOURCE of supply which can he drawn on when needed.
