Slatington High School - Reflections Yearbook (Slatington, PA)

Text from Pages 1 - 152 of the 1961 volume:

ORAf From childish amusements to mature knowledge and culture, we have moved in our path through Slatington High School. All things can be found at the County Fair—the crude, the amazing, the illusive, the unique, the normal, the fascinating. So, too, we have found a smattering of all things in our learning to this point. As we leave Slatington High School, it is our hope that we may have achieved a dis- criminating taste for the fine things of life, that we may continue our learning forever, and that we may make our dis- tinctive mark on the future. Foreword Dedication MR. PETER DeQUINQUA To a person whose every desire for the past four years has been to help our class, we dedicate our most cherished work, Reflections 1961. He has presented himself as a fine example for us to follow: a pleasing personality, a winning smile for everyone, and a readiness to give both advice and aid whenever necessary. Our sponsor has shown both loyalty and competence in his dealings with the Class of 1961. Not only has he attended every Class-sponsored function, but also he has shown understanding and patience in helping to solve class and personal problems. Whatever the future may hold for us, we, th6 Class of 1961, will hold fond memories of Mr. Peter DeQuinqua. our teacher, counselor, and friend. Northern Lehigh Joint To the members of the joint board of the Blue Valley Union and Washington Township, we must express our lasting thanks for a wonderful school. The Board of Directors of the Northern Lehigh Joint School District have provided for us a new school, safety and fine facilities in its construction; they have provided us with an excellent teaching staff throughout our school careers; they have worked far into the night many times to negotiate the finances necessary for the excellent books, supplies, and other needs for our learning. As we wander into the world far from our Alma Mater, we shall often think of these volunteers with gratitude and wish them well as they provide schooling for the generations who will follow' Us. 8 School Directors Mr. Claude Hensinger, President Miss Muriel L. Williams, Secretary Attorney William A. Steckel, Board Solicitor Mr. Robert I). Edwards Mr. George M. Harding Mr. John F. Hower Dr. Ray W. Pickel Mr. Daniel H. Rauch Mr. 0. James Rauch Mr. Leon Rex, Jr. Mr. Robert Scheffler Dr. Edward B. Shirk Mr. Harry J. Snyder Mr. Mark S. Thomas 9 iTEVENS It is on a solemn note that we bid farewell to Dr. Stevens, who has served as Supervising Princi- pal for four years and has now moved to Hanover Township School District. We wish him much success in the future. Our Fairest Judges Congratulations to Mr. Snyder on his appointment to the highest ad- ministrative position of the school district. After serving as our prin- cipal for twelve years, he well de- serves this coveted position. As a real “demon for detail,” Mr. Snyder will be able to keep an intimate knowledge of each gen- eration in Northern Lehigh Joint School District at his fingertips with little difficulty. A large job takes a large amount of ability. We have no doubt of Mr. Snyder’s success as Supervising Principal. 10 Mr. Musso, after having served two months as principal of S.H.S., has proved to be a capable, well- liked administrator. His future plans for S.H.S. include moving forward in areas of scholastic, athletic, and extracurricular com- petition. Should any changes be insti- tuted in 1961-62, we are sure that Mr. Musso will have our ultimate good in mind, as well as the best interest of Slatington High School and all it stands for. Our S.H.S. Administrators Moving to fill the unexpired term of Mr. Musso as Junior High principal is Mr. Rollin Jones, ably preparing the seventh and eighth graders to take their places in an ever-improving S.H.S. Although a young man for his position, Mr. Jones in his super- vision of sports and summer rec- reation has had experience in or- ganizing. He has the know-how to make our Junior High School nothing but the best. II The staff in our S.H.S. administrative offices really helps us more than we know. Here we see Mrs. Deibert, Mrs. Heintzelman, Mrs. Dietrich, Mrs. Parry, and Miss Williams at work. Administrative and Medical Staffs Miss Ara Kern, school nurse, is kept busy Mrs. Ann Lengel replaced Mrs. in all buildings checking on our ailments. MacCrindlc for a half-year in 1961. r Mrs. Carol MacCrindlc does checking on boys and girls in the elementary grades all day long. Our Northern Lehigh Joint School System owes much to the school physician, Dr. Harry B. Kern, for his very fine service. He does all our school examinations at really low price and shows always by his presence at our school affairs that he is most interested in all of us. Guidance Sponsors Our Guidance service at Slatington High School is extra- ordinary for its fine work in this area. With only one guidance counselor for the whole school system, it is neces- sary for long hours to be spent over and above the school day. Miss Evelyn Naylor, guidance counselor of S.H.S., is highly qualified for her task of guiding us all, for she not only has the “credits’ but also has had years of teaching in the public classroom. She gives standardized tests of all kinds and informs us about scholarship aid for the future, based on her records of what we should be able to accomplish with our lives. Career Day “You, too, should be interested in law and government,’’ says Attorney Steckel, here for Career Day. His illustra- tions on the board have our group interested. Kathleen Rex, Gail Stohl, Donna Oates, and Shelia Gruber are sitting here awaiting visitors for Career Day. They are the pages who arc to escort our speakers to the proper rooms. The Family Life Center is a wonderful place at any time, but on career day it is the popular spot for faculty, students, and visitors. Here we see several of our visiting lecturers chatting as they await the bell which will send them to the classroom. Mrs. Bernice Hicks, class sponsor for the freshmen, is also language teacher at S.H.S. On her off mo- ments, at home in Neffs, Mrs. Hicks is a busy gal with a husband and two young children to care for. Mr. Fred Snyder, also class advisor for freshmen, specializes in Ameri- can History during school hours and in football coaching during summer and fall. We all know his very friendly wife and little girl. MRS. BERNICE HICKS MR. FREDERICK SNYDER How Tiny These Freshmen Seem! Already the freshman class of Slatington High School has made a record in the magazine campaign early in 1961. With Mrs. Hicks and Mr. Snyder as class sponsors, the class threw a real “hall” for its St. Patrick’s Dance in March. Although new to senior high school, these students have adjusted well and have shown that there are several high-class students scholastically through their science fair projects and their winning in essay contests during this year. We wish the freshmen luck in the coming three years. May they he good ones in every way. MR. GORDON KEMP MR. WILLIAM HORVATH MR. LEE KREIDLER Guardian of a freshman homeroom, teacher of six typing classes, and supervisor of the cafeteria—all these titles can he given to Mr. Kemp. Aside from his howling and other sports activities, he keeps busy and interested in his two growing children and their projects. Mr. Horvath also guides a freshman home- room on the “business ed” side of S.H.S. This busy Student Council advisor puts in many hours working with the Council members in their store. Sports events and dances are usually the scene of his recrea- tion aside from his family life. Our biologist, Mr. Kreidler, finds time to sponsor the Hi-Y Club of S.H.S. as well as the junior-varsity basketball team in winter. Mr. Kreidler’s fine speaking voice can arouse us at assemblies and also helps us understand what’s going on in the football field.

Sophomore Class Officers President—Woodrow Searfass Vice President—Rodney Cressman Treasurer—Robert Berger Secretary—Marianne Zellner Assistant Secretary—Nancy Rauch 24 MISS MARY JOAN KOCH Miss Koch has been advisor to the sophomore class for the past two years, although she does not have a sophomore homeroom. As mathe- matics teacher and sports enthusiast, she has had plenty of chances to get to know her sophomores, however. We all regret that Miss Koch will not be with us next term. Mr. Richard Jones, a native of Slatington, thinks the sophomores are “just fine, because I am their sponsor.” Mr. Jones is a music and sports fan and lives near the school with his wife and two children. MR. RICHARD JONES With Woodrow Searfass as president, the sophomore class, about 110 members strong, may look forward to prosperity in the years to come at Slatington High School. Rodney Cressman, vice president, performs the duties of our president when he is absent. Copies of records and minutes are kept by the class secretary. Marianne Zellner, ably assisted by Assistant Secretary Nancy Rauch. The expenditures and earnings are recorded by Robert Berger, our able treasurer. The sophomores made a good showing in the magazine campaign this year and will put on a really Frenchy Senior Farewell with the title Au Revoir in June. Where Are the “Silly” Sophomores? MR. GEORGE FRANTZ Mr. George Frantz, our new geometry teacher, reigns over Room 30. Bowling, tennis, and chess are his favorite pastimes. Of the sophomore class, he says, “They are a good group, and I enjoy working with them.” MR. RICHARD SMITH An alumnus of S.H.S., Mr. Dick Smith came here last year. Sports of all kinds interest him and he is junior high foot- ball coach and wrestling teacher. “By the time they become seniors, the sophomores will be wonderful!” MR. RUSSELL STETTLER Mr. Russell Stettler, our school organist, is homeroom teacher in Room 32. He en- joys collecting old coins, reading, and, of course, ragtime music. “The sophomores are an excellent group,” says Mr. Stettler. SEATED: Jane Ellen Causseer.

In addi- tion to this sponsorship, she leads the Tri-Hi-Y Clubs and the Reflec- tions staff. Teaching in Room 20, a junior homeroom, keeps Miss Mil- ler young, she says. Mr. Earl Bender, our very compe- tent science teacher, finds time also to he junior class sponsor and teach- er in Room 26. His full schedule, including Saturday advanced science classes, leaves him some time for reading, howling, and his family. MISS SARA ELLEN MILLER MR. EARL BENDER Here Are the Ambitious Juniors The Class of 1962, following the standards of the preceding classes, has adeptly prepared itself to take over the seniors’ place next term. Under the guidance of capable and interested advisors, Miss Miller and Mr. Bender, the class has had a year of work and festivities. They have succeeded several different ventures: magazine campaign, Junior Play, Junior Declamation Contest, record dances, and the Junior Prom, which was a really gala affair. Constantly looking forward to that fact that they will soon he seniors, the juniors are the backbone in almost every school movement from chorus to Slate to band, to Student Council, to clubs. MRS. EDITH ROEDER MR. JOHN PARSONS Mrs. Rocder, Room 22’s reigning queen, is hailed not only for her excellent English classes but also for her art and music appreciation. Aside from her work at S.H.S., Mrs. Roeder’s main concern is the welfare of her family. Aside from Mr. Parson’s teaching of physics and general science, lie holds a degree in forestry. Room 24 is only one of his interests; for he has a tree nursery, hunts, and plays in the Palmerton Band. SEATED: Judy Seip, Carol Smith.

Juniors - Business Education Pat Salash, David Blose, Pat Scott, and Larry Turoscy take time out to pose during their work at the Junior Class record dance in Feb- ruary. Who’s the jitterbug? Oh, that’s the class sponsor, Mr. Bender, cut- Golly! This must he a slow dance—all the fellows are dancing! The cafeteria was the scene for this really successful junior-sponsored function. Lniform for the day—goggles, aprons, and suspenders,” says Mr. Earl Bender, as he gets his senior chemistry class set for an experiment. These are Slatington’s future “Einsteins.” Safety and care in the performing of these experiments are stressed. In Applied and Specialized Science Theoretical science and practical experience are combined in physics classes con- ducted by Mr. John Parsons. This term, in addition to all their other physics projects and experiments, tenth graders took great interest in the barometer and storm-warning signs. We had an ideal winter for such studies—oh, those deep snows! From the bulletin board display to the type of book, we can tell that this is Mr. Lee Kreidler’s ninth grade biology class. Anything you want to know about animals and plant life—just ask the frosh! In Mathematics, as Well, Mr. Russell Stettler’s trigonometry classes for seniors carry mathematics into higher strata. College preparatory students find this an essential for entrance into next year’s college work. The class always proceeds very smoothly—until Harry gets it off on some tangent or other. r “Who has a question about problem number one?” asks Miss Mary Joan Koch as the ninth grade college preparatory group attentively checks the board work. Algebra I is the basic mathematics course. These students will need all they can absorb this term to be prepared for Algebra II and physics next year. We Have Covered Every Annie Mr. George Frantz teaches a course in business mathematics to sophomores. These future business leaders carry all their abilities in mathematics with them throughout life, for in all their activities they will be computing—more than they ever realize as they study it in school. M rs. Edith Roeder waits as a junior English class copies notes from the blackboard. In our junior year, we learn the correct English to use in all sorts of situations. We enjoy Mrs. Roeder's vivacious personality and excellence in teaching as well as the literature of our own America. Near and Far We Communicate Ambitious, attentive Seniors absorb the facetious words of Mr. Trollinger as he attempts to explain the “uselessness” of English by using irony. We shall always remember his inspiring words, “Come on, people. Let's get busy.” We must get busy, too, to cover a full program of Shakespeare, Chaucer, and—oh! those research papers! Ninth grade English under Mr. Richard Jones provides students with the basic skills in grammar, vocabulary, and the communication arts. “Who is able to diagram that sentence on the board?” asks Mr. Jones. No volunteers? Perhaps it has too many clauses. With Friends and Kin and Strangers Students in a sophomore English section demonstrate their projects at the end of their study of Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar. Literature is stressed during the sopho- more year; and, in addition to this play of Shakespeare, students read short stories, Silas Marner, and some of the King Arthur legends. Miss Sara Miller teaches Latin and sophomore English. “J’aime frangais,” repeat Judy, Charles, Robert, and Mark into the microphones as they practice pronunciation in second-year French. Mrs. Bernice Hicks supervises at the panels of the language laboratory as the rest of the class do written work at their seats. The laboratory is a tremendous help in the expansion of course offerings in modern foreign languages. In English and in Languages Here we see Mr. William Reese’s college-preparatory seniors in the midst of a panel discussion. The Problems of Democracy course covers everything from per- sonal and national economy to “trouble spots” in our world. “Now what is our personal responsibility in this world situation?” prods Mr. Reese. “Answer the questions at the end of Chapter six,” suggests Mr. Richard Smith in freshman civics class. Civics provides the study of Slatington, Pennsylvania, and United States governments in all their many phases. Even the bulletin hoard pro- motes patriotic and school spirit. Concerning Cultures and Politics “The illustrations on page 150 will emphasize this point for you,” says Mr. Fred Snyder as he lectures on the Civil War in American History class. During the eleventh grade all students are required to take this course and to learn more about the founding and progress of our nation. It is important to learn why citizens in the United States act as they do. _u A junior typing class is busy speeding through a drill as Mr. Gordon Kemp stands in the background looking on. The students are taught the proper procedure for typing up different business letters and forms. Sometimes they just drill to produce speed and efficiency. Training in Business Methods Mr. William Horvath is one of the many teachers who have study halls to super- vise several times a week. Can you imagine this group being so quiet? You can be happy that this book is not “audio” as well as “visual.” Here we see future secretaries transcribing their shorthand notes. Miss Angela Durso, our new Gregg instructor, stresses perfection not only in formation of short- hand characters but also in speed and accuracy of transcription. This class of juniors really appreciates the fine electric equipment provided for these classes. Enables Us to Sell Our Services Freshmen in the junior business training classes learn much that is worthwhile about the work-a-day world from Miss Pat Kowalsky. The Bell Telephone Company has sent this equipment for classroom instruction in the use of the telephone. The tone of voice and English grammar are most important in the business world. Today Mrs. Hazel Reed’s class in home economics is preparing salads. In this class seniors learn a variety of things including cooking and homemaking hints. Besides cooking, this class also spends some time sewing and fashioning garments for their own use. Look at our beautiful kitchen equipment! We would all like to have a nice home like this. Refining and Cultural Dashes Miss Evelyn Morgan oversees students in our high school library. Our library contains modern facilities for our use in obtaining information or doing research. In case we want pure pleasure from reading, there are many fine books in the fiction section to meet any taste test. Some of our future carpenters at work in the industrial arts shop demonstrate their handiwork. This tenth grade group is learning the basic skills of building from Mr. Frank Trettel. “Remember, boys, it’s better to be safe than sorry.” Safety and neatness are both essential in learning a wood-working trade. Augment Our Practical Skills Mr. Donald Jones’s art class appears to be sketching today. In this class students learn to blend colors and proportion figures and scenes. In the background one sees examples of what the art students do, both in class and outside. Sparkling white uniforms symbolize the caliber of training in our girls’ physical education classes. Miss Noretta Schaeffer, instructor, teaches all seasonal games and promotes physical fitness through exercises, calisthenics, and tumbling. We hear the announcement, “Girls interested in trying out for the basketball team meet in the gym at 3:30 today.” And Give Us Health in Mind and Body As evidenced by all these wide-awake faces, health under Mr. Lloyd Williams provides helpful instruction into the practical world of hygiene. This course in the ninth grade presents body biology and physiology in all its phases and is supple- mented by body building in a physical education course. We’re just selfish, that’s all. We want our picture here receiving driver training instruction from our favorite teacher during the 1960-61 term. Mr. DeQuinqua is reigning at the projector. May we add, we’re all good drivers by this time! We Are Well Trained. Here is a freshman music class under Mrs. Marion Evans’ direction, and they are about to sing a song. Besides singing, they learn music appreciation and study the background of music and the lives of famous composers. MISS EVELYN A. MORGAN Miss Morgan has charge of the S.H.S. library and can aid us in any questions on books, classical literature, or the classi- cal languages. During our freshman year, we all come to the library once a week for instructions on how to use this facility. Miss Morgan is a native of Slatington and has a hobby of growing roses. We Really MR. LLOYD WILLIAMS Mr. Lloyd Williams, boys’ gym instructor, is a native of Slatington and has been teaching at S.H.S. for a number of years. His basketball team this year won the Smith Hall Tournaments at Christmas, but just missed the Lehigh Valley champion- ships. MISS NORETTA SCHAEFFER Miss Schaeffer is queen of the gymnasium. Her position entails gym classes for all girls in senior high. In addition this year she was in charge of girls’ intramural sports and the varsity girls’ basketball team. She is interested in sports of all kinds—for participating and for spectat- ing. MISS ANGELA DURSO New to Slatington High School this term is Miss Durso, who teaches office practice and shorthand. Her other activities at S.H.S. included advising the business and advertising staffs of Reflections and con- ducting the Future Business Leaders’ Club. We welcome her to our school and hope she will remain here for a long time. Appreciate These Teachers. MR. FRANK TRETTEL As instructor in the wood and metal shops at S.H.S., Mr. Frank Trettel has our boys making some very fine things with their hands: plastic jewelry, beaten-metalware, furniture pieces, and even boats! Through it all, too, the workshops are neat and tidy! MR. DONALD JONES “There’s a right way, a wrong way, and the Jones way to do things. While you’re my students, you’ll do things the Jones way.” We quote Mr. Jones as he starts off a new class of art pupils. Have you seen the beautiful paintings Mr. Jones has done himself?

These are the mothers of our senior players who were honored at the Turkey Day Pep Rally: Mrs. Morris, Mrs. Reitz, Mrs. Krause, Mrs. Chandler, Mrs. Mengel, and Mrs. Kistler. The Slaters can be called a football team with a bright future. Although this year our 3 and 8 record was not very great, these boys (mostly juniors) were always playing to win. The team was below the average in weight and experience, but our boys made up their lacks in sheer desire to win. Teams like Northampton’s Kon- krete Kids and Palmer ton’s Blue Bombers felt this desire, even though we did lose those games. So a word to the wise: “Next year the Konkrete walls and the high-flying Blue Bombers will be knocked from their perches by this team of boys full of fight and know-how.” These are the Seniors on this year’s squad: the snappy offensive guard, Vincent Morris; co-captain and halfback, Robert Mengel; co-captain and fullback, Arthur Kistler; offensive tackle, Eugene Chandler; and defensive halfback, Floyd Krause. 1960 Football Schedule Slatington 18 Slatington.... 0 Slatington 6 Slatington....... 0 Slatington 0 Slatington....... 6 Slatington 0 Slatington 19 Slatington 58 Slatington.......41 Slatington....... 0 Coplay 13 East Stroudsburg 26 Parkland . 19 Lehighton ....... 25 Emmaus 32 Northampton 40 Catasauqua 32 Whitehall _______32 Stroudsburg 18 Jim Thorpe ...... 6 Palmerton ....... 23 Our Slaters Every afternoon at 3:30, the boys are out on the field ready to practice for the coming game. Here we see Coach “Pete” teaching some new defensive plays to our linemen. Also at the Turkey Pep Rally the football team’s co-captains, Ted Kistler and Bob Mengel, crowned Mary Ellen Papay, our Football Queen. Janice Szapacs “Tackle your man!!”, the crowd screams as Donald Barilla closes and Cheryl Diebert were her attendants. in on the ball carrier at the first win of the season at Coplay. The crowd screams, “Get it in. Bob,” as Mengel shoots. Doug Farber shoots for another two points as the Slat- ers slide by the Palmerton Bombers for a 50-41 score. Look at those big smiles! Everyone’s bappy as Mr. Herman Snyder presents the Smith Hall Holiday Tournament trophy to the Slaters’ Coach, Lloyd Williams.

The team compiled a four to ten record. Under their capable coach, Mr. William Reese, the Slaters hope for an undefeated season next year. Come on, Nicholas, do your job and pick up that bat before someone trips over it. Up, up, and away it goes, as Jim Papay demonstrates to the Slaters’ potential discusmcn the form, power, and co- ordination necessary to become proficient as a discus thrower. S.H.S. Track Team Our track team consisted of twenty-five men. These representatives of S.H.S. held their meets under unusual conditions from those under which they practiced—cinders on a level track, sawdust in all the pits— the weather was just as miserable as ever. Best of luck to the future trackmen of S.H.S. at their new track. Look at that form! There goes Billy J. Jones clearing 6’ 1” as the other high jumpers look on. In the background we can see the famous high- jumper Gene Thomas looking on. (Bill’s quite fond of sawdust.) 63 Mr. Scarselletti gives downbeat for spring concert. Mr. Angelo Scarselletti has been with us for the past twelve years as the head of our instrumental music department. We hope to have him around for many years to come. Rehearse Night and Day A typical hand rehearsal in preparation for the spring concert. Patricia Schleicher and Eric Schlosser are accepting the hand’s John Philip Sousa Awards presented by Mr. Scarselletti. 66 The annual Spring Concert featured the score from “Oklahoma,” this year’s theme. for Music, Music, Music. This year we were privileged to be host for the annual Lehigh County Band Festival. 67 Cheerleaders “Ray, Team, Ray, Rah, Team!” Where in school can you find a more active and enthusiastic group of girls? In the rain, in the snow, in all kinds of weather—these girls are always trying to promote school spirit. Congratulations and a dozen red roses to each of these girls for a job well done.

Majorettes Head Color Guard, Sandy Schaeffer, gave our colorguards real leadership in twirling those flags. Head Majorette this year was Brenda Zellner, who was clever at working out new drills for our girls to march through. With the parking lot for a practice field, Brenda sets up a new marching drill for Polly Ann, the two Sandys, and Colleen. With the sound of the band in their ears and their minds on the rhythm of the music, these girls step out high, wide and handsome to lead all our football parades. During the basketball season their Scottish Kilts and perky hats inspired many fans to snap pictures and applaud their drills in Smith Hall. The chorus has produced many fine events under the instruction of its capable directress, Mrs. Marion Evans. Here is the full chorus at the concert in May, 1961. “Some Enchanted Evening . . . For the spring concert, Urs Leemann, our student exchange from Switzerland, was featured as violin solo- ist. Attentively the chorus awaits the starting moment, as they put on their first public Christmas pageant. The weather (snow) did not help the attendance, but the pageant was a real success. MRS. MARION EVANS Mrs. Evans, our vocal music di- rectress, is always busily rushing from junior to senior high school, or back. S.H.S. always has students in District Chorus, but this year our choice for State Chorus had to decline on account of conflict with our own concert. From looking at Mrs. Evans' picture here, you would never believe she has some cute grandchildren—would you? Senior High Ensembles, both boys and girls, are rehearsing diligently for spring concert. Newly elected officers and members are eagerly waiting to be initiated into Student Council. Their Guidance Built School Morale The members of Student Council gather for a picture of their weekly Council meetings. f Mary Ellen Papay serving an unknown customer at the Student Council Store. Officers of Student Council: President, Dennis Snyder; Vice President, Robert Mengel; Secretary, Cheryl Dei- bert; Treasurer, Harry Lentz. Newly-elected National Honor Society members earnestly await the oncoming year. National Honor Society Harriet Solt, one of the members last year, walks silently through the auditorium with a taper to select another National Honor So- ciety member. Those elected as officers served as National Honor Society members last year: President, William O. Jones; Vice President, Paul Nich- olas; Secretary, Madeline Zellner; Treasurer, Harriet Solt. The Library Club is a really efficient, hard-working group. The club is led in its endeavors by Advisor Evelyn Morgan and officers Ronald Hofmann, president; John Buhay, vice president; Rhea Kuhnert, secretary; and Barbara Phillips, treasurer. The Library Club Renders Real Service Our books are kept in good condition by the club’s members who mend and repair them whenever there is need. Here you can see a torn binding being patched and loose end pages being fastened. Need a novel for a book report? Go straight ahead to the long shelves at the rear of the library. Reference work? The stacks are very well filled witli materials of all kinds. There are always members of the Club at your elbow with help of all kinds. The members of the Library Club serve as library assistants. They discharge books, keep the shelves in order, and give aid to anyone looking for something special. The club members also are respon- sible for the Library bulletin board and display case. ■ m inm. fro m tc Our Future Nurses Club, under the direction of Mrs. McCrindle and Mrs. Lengcl, chose as its leaders: President, Janice Szapacs; Vice Presi- dent, Pamela Owens; Secretary, Sharon Baer; Treasurer, Sally Ann Rex. All the girls in this club are looking forward to the day when they can he called “the ladies in white.” 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 attd to assure them that they have chosen the right career. One of their projects during the past year was filling a booklet with “goodies” for a small crippled child. Career Clubs The Future Business Leaders is the club for all those who wish to take up a business career after graduation. Projects, like vis- iting the local banks in Slatington, are made to increase our business knowledge. Our leader, Miss Durso, gives us guidance and other necessary and additional infor- mation on business procedures. 74 Futures Stressed Although the Future Teachers Club has done very much this year in encouraging students to further their educations, the two main events presented to the student body were the National Education Week Program and Teacher Career Program. National Education Week was a pro- gram in tribute to Horace Mann, father of education. To prove that students and teachers have many talents in addition to teaching be- came the main theme for the Teacher Career Program. Advised by Miss Naylor and Miss Koch, the future teachers selected the following officers for 1960-61: President, William 0. Jones; Vice President, Steve Redline; Recording Secretary, Mary Ellen Papay; Corresponding Secretary, Roberta Sterner; Treasurer, Dennis Lazorcheck; Parliamen- tarian, Connie Braerman; Historian, Susan Merkle. The objective of the Future Homemakers’ Club is to teach the girls the basics in home economics. Mrs. Michaels, the Home Economics teacher, aids them in their activities and projects. The leaders of this club are President, Karen Coffin; Vice President, Alice Andrews; Secre- tary, Donna Oates; Treasurer, Betty Mack. The 1960 61 Tri-Hi-Y, counseled by Miss Miller, elected the following officers: President, Janice Szapacs; Vice President, Pam Owens; Corresponding Secretary, Sharon Baer; Recording Secrc- tary, Brenda Zcllncr; Treasurer, Roberta Sterner; Assistant Treasurer, Brenda Queen; and Chaplain, Sandra Nothstcin. With such activities as the Christmas Program and Easter Program and collecting for the United Fund, the members of the Tri-Hi-Y were kept busy throughout the year. Hi-Y and Tri-Hi-Y Clubs Progress Officers elected for the current year were President, Billy 0. Jones; Vice President, James Papay; Secretary, Don Van Norman; Treasurer, Robert Price; Chaplain, Douglas Farber. As a fast-moving organization, the Hi-Y accomplished many things. Our organization sent delegates to Harrisburg to attend a model legislature, sent delegates to many conventions in our district, and sponsored the annual Lehigh Valley Joint Tri-Hi-Y and Hi-Y Convention. Sponsoring a dance proved exciting as well as lucrative. 76 The Pro and Con Club produces the S.H.S. debaters which represent our school in debate competition. The club is under the capable direction of Mrs. Roeder. Debating is not the only function of the club, for its members are trained in public and choric speaking as well. Pro-and-Con Club and International Typical speech class, here we see a practice debate before the meet. Bill Horvath is speaking.

Mr. Frantz, SLATE advisor, congratulates John DeSanctis for his literary achievements as a member of the SLATE staff. Our Newspaper and Our Athletes Yes! You could read all about the school’s news in the SLATE, our S.H.S. newspaper. With the expert literary advice of Mr. Frantz, the SLATE has had complete coverage of all school activities. The Varsity “S” is an honorary club consisting of athletes who have earned the letter “S.” These are the best athletes in our school, the ones who win the sports events gallantly and lose them with honor. They are the “stars” of S.H.S. The Visual Aids Club is one of the fine service clubs in our school. Whenever a teacher needs equipment for classroom teaching or for club use. it is available. Club members bring it to the de- sired place and set it up for op- eration allowing the faculty mem- ber time to get ready for the introduction of the film. “Now make sure you don’t have your finger in front of the lens,” says Mr. Bender to his interested members of the Visual Aids Club. Mechanical Equipment Is Their Game. These are the future photographers who will soon graduate from S.H.S. They have been under the able direction of Donald Jones. Our photography group is a great help in the yearbook, also. Many times a student from this club is chosen to take pictures that are needed at many school functions. 80 For some students the subject of mathematics is very interesting. For these people we have the Math Club, under the capable supervision of Mr. Stettler. This year they explored the realms of numbers through topology, vectors, slide rule, paper folding, and mathematical games and puzzles. Math Club and Boys' Homemaking Club The Boys’ Homemaking Club was established to provide interested boys with an education in cooking and sewing. The club’s main purpose is to provide these boys with enough knowledge that they will make fine, helpful husbands some day. 81 Stairway to the Stars was the theme of this Junior Prom. Here is the star of the Class of ’62, Cheryl Behler, being crowned by Class President, Tim Snyder. Congratulations Cheryl, you made a charming queen. The Juniors Promenade and Act for Us. Looking lovely in her mint green formal, Cheryl is seen dancing with her escort, Robert Searfass. The Inner Willie, John Hower, is the continuous annoyance of Willoughby, Randy Fritzinger and Joe Gasser. The plot of the play evolves around the finding of a girl friend for Willoughby. His three aunts, Judy Andrews, Janet Fritzinger, and Rhea Kuhnert, each had the best girl for Willoughby. Ail things worked out nicely in the end, for Willoughby made his own choice The Class of ’62 displayed their dramatical abilities here in the presentation of their Junior Play, The Other You. Junior Declamation and Dramatic Club The contestants nervously await the decision of the judge on that well-remembered Junior Dec- lamation night. Susan Merkle rehearses her dramatic reading with the other “What’s Preston Williams up to this time?” The Dramatic speech students before going to Temple University. Club certainly finds his acting humorous. Miss Pat Kowalski, a native of Hazleton, served this year as able class advisor. In her first year of teaching at S.H.S., Miss Kowalski has taught business subjects and English and has spread her gay personality throughout the school. We express our welcome and appre- ciation for her help. Mr. Peter Dequinqua, our class ad- visor for our three years at S.H.S., gave willingly and generously of his time to make this graduating class the best ever. We express a hearty note of thanks to “a great 1 MISS PAT KOWALSKI MR. PETER DeQUINQUA We Seniors Are Ready to Depart Three years have gone like a short breeze, and we are on the point of graduating from Slatington High School. Led by our able officers, we have been active to-the end, producing a fine Senior Play, working in the magazine campaign, selling Christ- mas cards and stationery, putting on a memorable Class Day assembly, and looking forward to our class trip to Washington and the end of it all, graduation. This year we will not be wearing for graduation our class flower, the peppermint carnation. We will, however, be using our class colors of red and white for the cover of this book. As we go through life henceforth, may we remember and live by our class motto, “Youth Turns the Wheels of Progress,” so that we may make a real mark on the history of mankind. MR. CARL TROLLINGER MR. WILLIAM REESE Mr. Trollinger provided moments both of culture and of mirth in his senior English classes. There’s al- ways open house at the Trollingers for educational discussions, and Mr. T. is always available for excursions to movies and plays. Everyone will remember the Prob- lems of Democracy classes made in- teresting by Mr. William Reese, a competent orator and idealistic philosopher. Mr. Reese is also base- ball coach at S.H.S. We believe baseball is his favorite activity.

In the course of his visit in Slatington he has re- sided with Attorney William A. Steckel and his family. One of Urs’ many talents is his ability to play the violin. Since the Steckel family is also musically in- clined, Urs has enjoyed many hours playing string quartets. He has represented Slatington High School in All-State, Regional II, and District Orchestra. In Switzerland, Urs attends a Literary High School, where he resides half a year. The remainder of the year is spent at his home in Zumikon, a suburb of Zurich, with his mother, father, and brother Arnold. Urs has two more years remaining at the Literary High School, after which he will enroll in the army for 17 weeks. To major in law at the University of Zurich is his desire and ambition.

I he Class of ’61’s great Junior Declamation speakers brought praise to our high school through their wonderful selections. STANDING: John DeSanctis, William O. Jones, Don Van Norman, Dennis Snyder, and Harry J. Lentz. SEATED: Connie Braerman, Janice Szapacs, and Pamela Owens. MISSING: Susan Merkle and Harriet Solt. We Speak-With a Purpose. Dennis Snyder won first place in the boys’ division. He spoke about Mark Twain—a comical monologue. Susan Merkle won first place in the girls’ division. Her selection was “Camille.” 108 The Class of 61’s Junior Play cast. After weeks of conscientious work we pre- sented our Junior Play entitled “The Doctor in Spite of Himself. Mixed reactions greeted this, our first dramatic presentation, although the acting was superb. The story concerned a witty, medieval woodcutter who was forced to pass himself off as an all-knowing doctor and helped to reunite a boy and girl in spite of her father’s protests. This play held a promise of greater things to come. Who Wants to Be a Doctor, Anyhoiv? “Are you a doctor? Confess! We hate to do this. Don’t John DeSanctis and Steve Redline seem to be having fun at Dennis Snyder’s expense? “Who said I was hen-pecked?” Dennis Snyder seems to be having wife trouble with Susan Merkle while Steve Redline seems to be very much interested. The moment everyone has been waiting for has finally arrived—the Junior Prom Queen has been chosen—Janice! A Fantasy for a Prom Night Miss Janice Szapacs and her es- cort, Douglas Farber, dance hap- pily along with the other mem- bers of the court. On November 11 and 12 the public was treated to a generous dosage of Arsenic and Old Lace, administered by members of the Senior class under the direction of Mr. Carl Trollinger. The audience laughed with delight as the two lovably sadistic aunts helped lonely old men out of their troubles and into the Brewsters’ cellar- graveyard. We’ll always remember Eric Schlosser as a perfect Teddy Roosevelt “charging” up the stairs and into the memories of our senior year. Just a Bunch of “Hams” Don Van Norman and John DeSanclis seem to be having trouble keeping Susan Merkle quiet. Eric Schlosser just loves to show his best side (back) to the audience. Josephine Thomas is watching very closely what Eric is doing. Wonderland by Night was a very fitting title for the senior Christmas Dance for it related to a record which was popular during the Christmas Holidays. Don Trainer and his Orchestra were our Christmas music-makers for that cold Saturday night. Faculty members and their wives join fellows and girls on the dance floor around the angelic Christmas tree, as the hand signals intermission time. Wonderland By Night William 0. Jones, Mary Ellen Papay, Janice Szapacs, Michael Petrus are the Senior Class officers who stand around the cozy, snow laden house. Miss Kowolsky, one of our counselors, takes in the beauty of the little house. Everything was so pretty, all done in a variation of blues and whites. The tree, covered with angel hair and blue bulbs, gave a misty blue cast to the winter scene and its inhabitants. All felt a Christmas glow from this wonder- land of snow by night. J� SANDRA NOTHSTEIN— Sweetheart ’61 We danced with anxious hearts welcoming someone to steal the key to our hearts. “Key to My Heart” was the theme of this year's dance. Any one of the girls so beautifully dressed could have won any fellow’s heart that night. The Sweetheart Ball. Miss Sandra Nothstein was crowned queen by the equally charming and stately Sandra Kibler now Mrs. Ronald Frable. Slatington High School’s an- nual Sweetheart Ball is held on the Saturday closest to Valentine’s Day. The Ball is always sponsored by the Senior Tri-Hi-Y group as a means of obtaining funds for YMCA World Service. One of the senior members of the club is always fortunate enough to be chosen Sweetheart of S.H.S. The subjects stood in line for inspection as the queen slowly swayed by. Our men faculty members are always “put on the spot” this night, because it is their task to choose the Sweetheart as the Tri- Hi-Y seniors dance with their escorts. The navigator cen- terpiece and the festive balloons and streamers show that we are on deck for the best Senior Farewell ever. Our theme was Bon Voyage. Brenda Zellncr, Sally Ann Rex, and Janice Szapacs are really working on the island setting on the gym stage. We Bid BON VOYAGE to the ’59-ers Golly! We all deserve to rest for a moment on deck. We have just finished decorating Smith Hall and are looking forward to tonight's gala as we survey our lovely decorations. Oh—the paper? Well, we’ll get that swept up in a minute. Mrs. Leah Herrity and Mr. Peter DeQuinqua were our advisors that year, and we all worked hard together to make our Bon Voyage the best dance of the year. We succeeded, too. 116 Punch, cookies, pretzels—all are awaiting the hungry and thirsty couples. This was the first time that any class had the sense and the permission to serve refreshments on the gym floor, in one corner, instead of down in the basement of the building. The Senior Farewell, given by the sophomore class to honor and say “farewell” to the graduating class, is a tradition at S.H.S. The sophomores find time to make this formal dance one of the nicest of the year, especially since it is the last one. This year’s Senior Farewell theme was Au Revoir, Seniors, and pictured is the Smith Hall curtain decorated with spring flowers and their parting cry to the Class of 1961. To Us the Class of ’63 Says AU REVOIR. Faculty members and students alike enjoy these dances, since we all have a chance to dress up prettily and enjoy a festive evening together. Dancers are whirling to the music of Buddy Griffiths’ Combo in this picture. Refreshments are always welcome . . . but what have we here? Oh, no, it can’t be real wine—hmmm, as I thought, it’s grape juice. Nice Frenchy idea, however. Our new high-school principal and his wife seem to be enjoying the orchestra. Here we find Mr. and Mrs. Musso “cutting a rug’’ with the best of them. The Most Popular members of our Senior Class proved to he Janice Szapacs and William 0. Jones. Pamela Owens and Michael Petrus were selected as the two Most Likely to Succeed. ■ May 26 was a reminiscing day for the Seniors. On this day we reviewed our previous school days. Dennis Snyder presented part of his Junior Declamation selection; Sally Ann Rex showed motion pictures of various school events taken through our years at Slatington High; portions of the Junior and Senior Plays were given; and the Junior Prom Court made its final appearance. As a climax to this memorable day, the Class Prophecy and the “Last Will and Testament” of the Senior Class were read. John DeSanctis presents small, but well-deserved tokens of ap- preciation to two faculty mem- bers who gave up many hours of their own time to establish the Advanced Science and Math Courses for the Seniors. William O. Jones leads the class during Class Day, just as he has done the entire year. I Camera bugs snap remembrances of the closing event, the class trip, at a bus stop near New Castle, Delaware. Look how exhausted some of us look! At the awful hour of four in the morning, the Class of 1961 was off to points South on the annual Class Trip. Never had any of us been on a trip of this kind—nor will we again. It is a unique experience to travel in com- pany with all the class and such jolly chap- erones as the Reeses, Miss Kern, Miss Kowal- sky, Mr. DeQuinqua, and Mr. Musso. Our 1961 Class Trip- Our “tour of inspection” covered every- thing including the Tidal Basin. We had our picture taken before the Capitol building (below) and carried out all the traditional class-trip pranks that seem new to each class, but old to the “chaps.” Foolishness, Films, Fun! We Worship Together For the Baccalaureate services we were pleased to have as our speaker Rev. Trevor Wagg who spoke on a very ap- propriate subject, “Making Friends with the Future.” Stately, the Seniors walk as a body once more into the auditorium for their Baccalaureate ser- vice. Our days in the past will he well-remem- bered. For the scripture, prayer, sermon, and benediction we have asked Rev. Louis Paulhamus, Rev. Trevor Wagg, and Rev. Stephen Finestone, to lead us into the future with our Cod at our side. With the aid of Principal Joseph Musso, Mr. Claude Hensinger, President of the Board of Education, distributes the diplomas to the Seniors. Here, Sally Ann Rex shakes hands with Mr. Hensinger upon receiving her diploma as Sheila Reinhart awaits her turn. Although Mr. Musso has only been our principal for a few months, he has done a remarkable job. He proved his capabilities to everyone when he very ably and successfully took over the Commencement duties previously performed by Mr. Herman P. Snyder. On June 7, 1961, the 71st annual Commencement exercises were held. Diplomas were awarded to 113 Seniors who would soon become alumni. For some, this was a joyous moment: it signified the end of their school years. For others, there were mixed emotions: happiness- this was the beginning of a new, adult life; sorrow—it was time to depart from our wonderful school, the faculty with whom we worked so earnestly, the many friends we made. So, with a mixture of tears and smiles, we bid fare- well to our great school and the pleasant memories we shared. We Begin a New Life PAMELA OWENS College Preparatory Representative RONALD PACOTTA General Curriculum Representative MADELINE ZELLNER Business Education Representative Silhouettes of Seniors in caps and gowns could be seen at sunset on June 7, 1961, as collars were placed, hats were straightened and the lines began to form. “Is my hat tilted too much?” is the question. “No, it looks fine to me,” is the reply. The blue and white line begins to form for the last march to the auditorium. Commencement - Intently, Janice Szapacs gazes into her camera finder as cur- riculum representatives Made- line Zellncr, Pamela Owens, and Ronald Pagotta pose for her. Valedictorian Joann Hahn and Salutatorian Paul Nicholas find time to make a last-minute check on those all-important speeches. 124 Senior Girls -1961 That moment has arrived. Here we see Eu- gene Werley receiving his diploma from Mr. Paul Hensingcr, Board of Education Presi- dent, as Principal Joseph Musso calls out the next name, “Don Van Norman. ’ Senior Boys The art staff of the 1961 Reflections stops work long enough to pose for this picture. Brenda Zellner, Sally Ann Rex, Susan Eckhart, and Jose- phine Thomas were the members of this “drawing” crowd. The Yearbook Staff Prints Nope! These are not gals from Mars. It hap- pens to be Brenda and Sally Ann “awork” in someone’s kitchen—with pencils, rulers, India ink, and lots of ingenuity. The literary staff must choose pictures from this mess to use in illustrating the book. Here we see Michael Petrus, Con- nie Braerman, Don Van Norman, Susan Merkle, James Papay, Editor-in-Chief Janice Szapacs, and John DeSanctis. The writing on Reflections is an important part of the book, since whatever we write here will endure much longer than we now realize. Our Memoirs for the Future. Some of the members of the advertising staff arc getting together on the typing of the lists of adver- tisers and patrons. At the typewriters are Harriet Solt and Cheryl Deibert while Pam Owens and Mary Ellen Papay check names with them. Our advertising merchants and patrons bring in much of the revenue for printing Reflections, so we are grateful for the fact that we can print such a list'. Typing and processing is undertaken by the production staff. Here we see Pat Schleicher, Pat Schneck, Colleen Burke, Carol Greenz- weig, production staff head, and Carol Henry. The processing that this group must do, aside from typing, is seeing that all pictures match writing and that everything is properly iden- tified. Reflections, 1961, our only permanent memory of high school days in print, is a real task during the senior year. Students of the senior class join in this process of finding pictures, news, money, and art work to build an enduring yearbook which can be looked at years afterwards. This year’s staff did a noble job of getting Reflections ready. Miss Durso and Miss Miller, Reflections advisors, find time to laugh about the copy going into the yearbook.

To the custodial staff we give our gratitude, because they are very often like the “elves” that work in the night caring for our build- ing. During summer months preparation goes on for the new term continually under the direction of Head Custodian Ralph Jones. Look! Peanut-butter sandwiches to go with our soup for lunch. 143 Acknowledgments Following we have cited names of people and organizations to whom we owe appreciation for their cooperation, favors, and aid in the executing of this book, Reflections 1961. All we can say is, “Thank you, all,” for making our yearbook a good one and a lasting memory of our years at Slatington High School. Conrad Studio, Allentown. Mr. and Mrs. Conrad have been so help- ful and patient with us as they provided many pictures for use in this yearbook. The Call-Chronicle offices in Allentown. We have received many pictures from the Call-Chronicle files. Mr. Rudy Bednar of the Lehighton office of the Allentown Morning Call provided us with a good picture of the Smith Hall Tournament winners. Northern Lehigh Joint School Board and Administration. Our camera for school shots is provided by the administration. We also appreciate time allotted for taking of pictures during school hours. Mr. Earl Bender and Mr. John Parsons. Their developing of our pictures this year made it possible for us to have quick delivery and definite sizes of many pictures. Mr. Donald Jones. This teacher aided our art staff in working out their ideas for the spread pages, as well as arranging for the pictures to be taken by members of the photography club. Miss Angela Durso and Miss Sara Ellen Miller. Our advisors for Reflections 1961 worked with us throughout the year and tied up loose ends to complete the yearbook.
