They Supervise Our School Having traveled over many oceans of education, the supervising principal of the Northern Lehigh Schools, Mr. Elmer Stevens, Ed.D., can always be depended upon to promote the scholastic standing of Slatington High School. Born in Aubern Center, Pennsylvania, Doctor Stevens attended Meshoppen High School, received his B.S. degree at Mansfield State Teachers College, and secured his M.S. and Ed.D. degrees from the University of Pennsylvania. Doctor Stevens lives in Slatington and is active in numerous community organizations. When not involved in school interests, he spends his free time with his family or engages in his hobby, photography. Doctor Stevens is also an ardent sports fan and can usually be seen at school sports events. An expert in scheduling our courses, first on hand at S.H.S. in the early mornings, Mr. Herman P. Snyder, Senior High School Principal, takes time from his pressing duties to pose for a photograph. A graduate of Northampton High School and Muhlenberg College, Mr. Snyder received his M.A. at Lehigh University and has worked on his doctorate at Temple University. His hobbies are traveling and athletics. His interest is in the welfare of individual students, and his advice is always worthwhile for us to follow. New this term in our school district is Mr. Joseph Musso, our assistant principal and junior high English teacher. A native of Park Ridge, New Jersey, a graduate and former teacher at Kutztown State Teachers College, Mr. Musso has received his Master’s degree from Lehigh University and is presently working there for his doctorate. In his spare time, Mr. Musso enjoys golf and ice skating. We like to hear him express himself in joint Smith Hall assemblies—in that deep and pleasing voice.

Northern Lehigh Joint School Authority Back in October, 1957, after plans for the new Slatington High School building had reached a point when something concrete could be done, the Northern Lehigh Joint School Authority was created. Ever since, this Authority has been on call—giving of its time, patience, and talents in selling bonds and awarding contracts. The result? Now the Authority is on the point of completing a beautiful new S.H.S. building. The members are: Edgar Stahley, Ray Musselman, Allen G. Shiffert, Walter W. Rex, Robert Dreisbach, and Ira Bleiler.

How Well They Did Our Pap er Work! Holding down two jobs well—secretary to Dr. Elmer Stevens and Northern Lehigh Joint School Board Secretary, Miss Muriel L. Williams has that tailored look that denotes efficiency. Miss Williams devotes all her time and efforts to the good of our school. Got a question to ask? Here’s the lady that can answer it. Miss Ellen Geh-ringer, secretary to our principal, does so many chores each day for students and faculty members alike that we feel she is truly a vital factor in S.H.S. life. In the administrative office are kept many necessary records required by our School Board and by the State Department of Education. Guardians of such details are Mrs. Marie Deibert, Mrs. Ellen Dietrich, and Mrs. Betty Parry.
