REFLECTIONS CUSS OP 1958 SLATINGTON HIGU SCHOOL SLATINGTON. PENNA. FOREWORD We, the staff of the 1958 REFLECTION, feel that our years of high school training are very similar to the training of a knight in a castle; therefore, follow us, dear reader, as we relive our days at Slatington High School, and let your imagination be your guide. As pages, we entered the castle and slowly became acquainted with the King and his aides and all of the lords and ladies. In time, we were made squires, all the while studying, working, and playing, but always reaching for our goal—Knighthood. Graduation is to the Class of 1958 as knighting was to a knight. It is fulfillment of wonderful, happy, well-spent years. The friends we have made and the experiences we have shared will never be forgotten. We hope that as you page through our book the spirit and theme will come alive and allow you to enter the realm of long ago and far away. We hope that you will enjoy reading of our preparations and adventures as much as we have enjoyed living them. CASTLE IN THE KINGDOM OF SLATINGTON 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. Far and wide though we may sojourn. Still our hearts are true To our dear old Alma Mater, Dear old white and blue. 3 DEDICATION Mrs. HAZEL REED In appreciation of her unselfish co-operation and efforts, we, the graduating class of 1958, have chosen to dedicate our Reflections to Mrs. Hazel C. Reed, teacher of Home Economics. Throughout our stay at Slatington High School, Mrs. Reed has given her time and efforts to enrich our lives and broaden our viewpoints as both a teacher and our advisor. The past three years have passed smoothly thanks to the expert guidance Mrs. Reed has given to the Class of 1958. As time passes and our memories fade, we shall never forget Mrs. Reed and her unending devotion to the Class of 1958 and to Slatington High School. 4 TABLE OF CONTENTS ADMINISTRATION . . .

TTW Special lighting effects, under the able manipulation of Marty Gu-sick and Robert Jones, aid in creating the mood for the Junior Play, “Starlight-Star Bright. ’ Midst the capers of the other actors, Sherwood Schearer renders his lines of the Junior Play with utmost sobriety. In this scene, Charles Skutches makes an announcement which captivates the attention of his fellow Dramatis Personae. CASTLE SQUIRES RELAX IN SOCIAL ACTIVITIES The Junior Declamation speakers smile brightly after delivering their speeches on many varied subjects. Sherwood Schearer, President of the Junior Class, presided at the evening’s program in which the following Juniors took part: Martha Layton, Frances Reitz, Barbara Lewis, Judy Paules, Sandra Mengel, Michael Lazorcheck, David Musselman, and Rodney Mummey. Judging of the contestants was handled by Mr. Thoburn V. Barker, Professor of Speech at Lehigh University. The dangers of opening an umbrella indoors, even when it is a pretty parasol as here, should be explained to Rodney Mummey, John Chamberlain, and Mike Lazorcheck. Carol Miller and Sandy Mengel sil-verplate the chair which will be graced by the Junior Prom Queen. The theme of the Prom being “April Showers,” Gary Eckhart adjusts a rain drop which will enhance the background for the queen’s throne. To the pages, castle life is exciting, but it can prove confusing too, since when the pages enter high school they are novices to chivalry. Two of the heralds of the tenth-grade pages, President Judy Lilly and Vice-President Keith Handwerk, arc being briefed by Mr. Reese on how to derive the best training from castle life. PAGES FOLLOW GOOD GUIDANCE OF THE HERALDS Miss Naylor cites for the other two heralds of the pages, Secretary Joan Kern and Treasurer Terry Chandler, the requirements for knighthood. 60 FIRST ROW: D.

HARMONIOUS STRAINS ANNOUNCE THE PRESENCE OF THE S. H. S. BAND Amid the blaring of horns, the crashing of cymbals, and the rolling of drums, the Slatington High School band prepared to give its annual concert on May 2, 1958. This was the climax of the school year for the band and as always it was a huge success. A band dance, held May 10, 1958, also won the favor of its patrons. Under the direction of Mr. Angelo Scarselletti, the band has participated in many parades, and played at all football and home basketball games. Several of its members have competed in various county and state contests. One member in particular, Sharia Solt, has brought fame and glory to the band, since she received an excellent rating at State Forensics and was chosen soloist at State Orchestra. The band, with its excellent musical members, has helped make important school programs even more memorable. % i I 1§ Through the excellent leadership of the varsity cheerleaders, school spirit soars.

SMASHING THEIR WAY IN THE LISTS, Our future knights trained long and hard to end the 1957 football season with a 6—5 record. The team overcame several serious injuries and setbacks and went on to be the victor of the Turkey Day game played at Palmerton. It was an exciting and thrilling season, and everyone was proud of our team as they displayed fine sportsmanship and a sense of fair play, even when the going was rough. May we say, “a job well done.” In dark jerseys, the Slatington Players include: No. 37 Ronnie Hughes, No. 40 John Chamberlain, No. 72 Richard Cole, No. 35 Louie Rauch, No. 51 Dick Williams, No. 38 Dick Skeath, No. 24 Dave Kuntz. Leading the charge, co-captains Louie Rauch and Bucky Reinhart, have proved themselves to be fearless, brave, and above all, victorious in battle. Under their steadfast assurance, the men displayed team spirit and co-operation. A very loud and cheerful Thanksgiving Day pep rally was climaxed with the crowning of Slatington’s Football Queen by the cocaptains, George Reinhart and Louis Rauch. The lucky lady chosen by our valiant knights was Carol Jones. The knights also chose two attendants — Elaine Mack and Barbara Jones. Straining with all his might, David Hankee reaches for a pass which might lead to a victory for our knights. Ready to aid his teammate, in the background, is Jimmy Fritzinger. A beautiful tackle is made by Jim Fritzinger to stop Palmerton’s Dick Haydt. Courage and skill is one thing not lacking in our knights. They proved it when the Knights of S.H.S. defeated the Palm-erton contenders 13—9.

Although our team did not have the most impressive season ever, they had the school’s wholehearted support at all times. The fighting Slaters came through to end with a 5—16 record. Several of the scores were very close, however. On one occasion, it was necessary for the game to be extended into overtime, the outcome being a loss to the league winners by only one point. At the end of the season, the school body was as proud of the noble Knights and Mr. Williams as they had been before. Under the able management of Robert Frantz, the team functions smoothly. 119 FIRST ROW: B. Hoffman, J. Parry, D. Kreiss, J. Les- R. Pritchard, W. Peters, L. Jones, H. Mack, J. Lentz, J. lie, J.

KNIGHTS LIMBER UP AS TRACK SEASON STARTS At the Emmaus track meet, Dave Kuntz races across the line to win the 220 with two of the Emmaus team members in close pursuit. Coach Rollin Jones advises his senior track members on the various events in which they will be participating. Competing in the track events arc Errol Zellncr, Dave Kuntz and Wayne German, and vying for a place in field events are Randy Snyder with a shot-put and George Reinhart with a discus. The team functions smoothly under the capable management of Bob Frantz. The fact that Slatington High School’s track team is held in high esteem by other schools, is due mainly to the efforts of David Kuntz, Senior, and James White, Freshman. Both Dave and Jim have broken district records. In one meet, Dave beat Charles Kuntzleman, Northampton’s previously undefeated star. In the district meet, Jim won the mile race. 122 Excelling all previous records, the girls' basketball team emerged victorious with an eight to three record.

As we entered Smith Hall on April 12, 1957, we were immediately aware of the lovely land of fantasy. The building was decorated with all sorts of elves and fairyland creatures. The dreamy music of Ginger Sharkazy enchanted us, as we danced from 8:30 to 11:30. The climax of our Fantasia Ball was the crowning by our class president, Randall Snyder, of our Prom Queen, Barbara Jones, escorted by John Babyak. Members of her court and their escorts were: Nancy Williams and Philip Thomas, Jean Miller and Vernon Longenbach, Louise Lorah and Clarence Scott, Jayne Bolton and David Kuntz, Patricia Gusick and Richard Stahley, Carol Jones and Gary George, Elaine Mack and Louis Rauch, and Mary Alice Sowden and Carl Horn. Following the crowning ceremony, the court danced a waltz; then, everyone joined in the dancing. This was a most wonderful evening, and one which we shall never forget. THE KNIGHT ENTERTAINS HIS CHOSEN LADY. VALENTINE DANCE On a cold and blustery winter evening, the night of the great blizzard of ’58, the hearts of the dancing couples were warmed by the music of David Neith. Under a radiant heart of red and white flowers, Jayne Bolton, escorted by Charles Muschlitz, was crowned Queen of Sweethearts by the Sweetheart of 1957, Marilee Heckman, whose escort was Carl Oplinger. We will long remember this dream-filled evening. CHRISTMAS FESTIVITIES AT THE CASTLE “Tie it good and tight,” says Joan Youse to Richard Stahley, Elaine Mack and Dave Kuntz as they work on flowers to be used as part of our Christmas Dance decorations. All finished and glad to relax at jolly old St. Nick’s feet are some of the seniors that helped to make our dance a huge success. They worked long and hard but their efforts were worth it. The big dance is here and everyone in attendance seems to be having a splendid time. Music, tinsel, stars, shouts of hellos, and laughter are all part of the annual Christmas Dance and all but one of these things are evident on this picture. “And a fine time was had by all!” Hustle, bustle, the last minute rush of things to do and things to finish, like decorating the trees on the stage to enhance the orchestra are the last steps in completing our dance preparations. Each one is busy, anxious to finish so she can go home and get ready for the dance. Red, silver, and blue Christmas balls glittering among the boughs, many colored lights strung carefully about the tree, and sparkling tinsel on a tree topped by a gleaming star are the ingredients we used to make our centerpiece come to life. Here the tree is in its first stage of lights and balls, but with everyone’s help it is finished in a short time. ‘You don’t mean it?” “Well, what do you know!” can be heard is a jolly group of seniors express their opinions of the day’s events � r the dance and its lovely decorations. Jean Miller, Eddie Paar, vlary Alice Sowden, Randy Snyder, Pat Gusick, Dave Kuntz, ayne Bolton, George Reinhart, Louise Lorah, Dale Johnson, Jan-ce Zeigler, and Steve Lacko have a grand time conversing with ach other. 129 KNIGHTS ENRICHED BY DRAMA AND SPEECH ACTIVITIES SENIOR PLAY Giggles, giggles, giggles, escaped from the audience and filtered through halls as the Senior Class presented “You Can’t Take It With You.” It was a hilarious comedy with the action taking place during the 1920’s. Before curtain time was a tense and busy period. Our competent director, Mrs. Edith Roeder, applies makeup to John Babyak as Peggy Lakavage and Elaine Mack wait for the crucial moment. The scene taken from the play features Jayne Bolton, Dale Johnson, John Babyak, Carl Horn, Sarah Lorah, Louise Lorah, David Kuntz, Barbara Jones, Richard Stahley, Randall Snyder, and Sharia Solt. The play was a hit with a full house. 130 JUNIOR DECLAMATION An evening of delightful oratorical readings was presented by the class of 1958 on January 24, 1957, and was judged by Professor Walter J. Deaupre, Professor of Speech and Drama at Moravian College. Professor Deaupre congratulated the winners for a job well done. John Babyak, retelling Mark Twain’s story of “Huckleberry Finn’s Cure for Warts,” won top honors. Barbara Jones was second with her narration, “Persecution,” by Mary Floyd; and Sharia Solt, third, with “Bobby Shaftoe,” by Homer Green. Readings were presented by Barbara Sue Jones, John Babyak, Sharia Solt, Randy Snyder, Eleanor Harter, Louise Lorah, Jayne Bolton, Jean Miller, and Jean Jacobs. JUNIOR PLAY To qualify for knighthood, a squire must display certain dramatic abilities. As Juniors, we exhibited this ability with the presentation of “Knock on Wood.” Eleanor Harter, Jean Jacobs, Errol Zellner, Donald Markell, Carl Horn, Louise Lorah, Barbara Jones, Richard Stahley, and Jayne Bolton appear astonished as the plot unfolds, and John Babyak is obliged to pay Randy Snyder for performing his detective duties. In the second scene, Carl Horn, Louise Lorah, and Barbara Jones are having difficulty persuading Randy Snyder to pose as a woman. Resting awhile before continuing their tour of the battlefield at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, a group of seniors, Louise Lorah, Jayne Bolton, Peggy Lakavagc, Eleanor Harter, and Pat Gusick, pose around one of the cannons that depict a certain skirmish of a particular regiment. While in Washington, the class was fortunate enough to be at the Capitol Building in time for the ceremony of the two unknown soldiers of World War II and the Korean War who were put, for a time, to rest in the Capitol rotunda. Lining the Capitol steps were representatives of all branches of the Armed Forces. Towering over us, bigger than life, was the Marine Monument, the symbol of the struggle for peace and security. Many of us were greatly impressed by its magnitude and the explicit detail in which the faces of the men stand out so very clearly. CLIMAX OF THE KNIGHTS’ YEAR 4 9__ Here we are! The Class of 1958 finally made it to Washington, D.C. after twelve long and wonderful years of study and work and play. The trip climaxed a year well-spent and it was indeed a trip well-earned. The National Airport was one of our stops as we toured Washington. Airplanes coming and going and important-looking people everywhere were enough to bewilder a few of us. Every day hundreds of people come to Arlington Cemetery to see the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier of World War I and they never fail to thrill at the impressive ceremony of the changing of the guard. Standing in silent vigilance is one of the soldiers who was chosen to guard the tomb. IS A TRIP TO WASHINGTON, D. C. Dr. Harry E. Everett, assistant professor of mathematics at Penn State University and the community representative at our commencement, congratulates Salutatorian Patricia Gusick and Valedictorian Eleanor Harter on their excellent scholastic achievement. Dr. Everett was one of thirteen who graduated from Slatington High School fifty years ago. Relaxing together after an evening of tension and excitement, the student speakers, Louise Lorah, Pat Gusick, Eddie Paar, Barbara Green, and Eleanor Harter, relive the past year and find that it is one to remember. THE CLASS OF 1958 “When do I speak?” “Golly, I’m nervous!” are only two of the excited exclamations uttered by Pat Gusick, Eleanor Harter, and Louise Lorah. three of the five commencement speakers as they wait for the first strains of “Pomp and Circumstance.” The girls try to relax but graduation is not a thing to be taken calmly, so they say. “Look upward forever and you’ll never fall down” is the perfect description of the Class of 1958. Lifting their faces and hearts to the sky can only mean that they shoot at the highest star and most of them will eventually attain that star.

Zeigler 143 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS In appreciation of the time and effort spent, the Class of 1958 would like to acknowledge the work of the following, for without their help, we could not have succeeded in completing “Reflections.” Mr. George Conrad, our professional photographer, who took the senior and faculty portraits and most of the group pictures, and who through his endless patience and professional skill has contributed much to our yearbook. Mr. Donald Jones, Gary Gaukler, Ronald Frey, and Dennis Snyder, our school photographers. The Lansford Office of the Morning Call for their co-operation and help in securing for us several football action shots, and Louise Lorah, the art editor of Reflections for the excellent job she has done on the art work. Again we would like to thank sincerely these people for their time, patience and efforts. We would also like to thank all the advertisers and patrons for their cooperation and contribution. RETAINERS OF THE CASTLE Everyone in the castle has his own position and importance and our janitors are very important, for without the constant care and vigilance of Harold Millward, Vincent “Wimpy” Bernhard, and Ralph Jones, our castle would be a shambles.
