Slatington High School - Reflections Yearbook (Slatington, PA)

Text from Pages 1 - 152 of the 1966 volume:

i Recorded on these pages are the academic achievements and social events of the 1965-66 school term. As a summary of the year, REFLECTIONS contains numerous memories for every student and also depicts the educa- tional opportunities and facilities used by the pupils. However, this year, the 1966 REFLECTIONS performs a new and plea- sant duty as an instrument of foreign diplomacy. We hope that Marianne, our foreign exchange student from Sweden, will share this book with the Swedish people. Photographs of students at work in school, engaged in com- petitive sports, participating in extracurricular activities, and enjoying them- selves at social affairs presents an accurate account of the American teenager. On the following pages 1966 REFLECTIONS will depict the lives of our senior class as seen through the eyes of our Marianne as she writes home. Published by the Senior Class Slatington High School, Slatington, Pennsylvania 2 Dear Mamma and Papa, I have now been in America since the eighth of August. I can’t under- stand that I have been here for such a long time. Time just flies away. Since I came to America, I have done a lot of things. I came a month before school started. 1 spent some days in Atlantic City and I visited the World s Fair. Most of the other days I spent at the swimming pool here or with my friends playing pinochle. This first month disappeared terribly fast and school skirted. Because I had such a wonderful summer here I was not anxious for school to start and I was afraid. I was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to understand the teachers and the things we read. I had some difficulties with the language the first months, but I got accustomed to reading and thinking in English. I hope I will be able to overcome the rest of my fears as well as I did these . . . LA VIE TABLE OF Pages 6-17 J ACTIVITIES Pages 66 CONTENTS ADVERTISING LA VIE . . . This is quite a time in my life. I have just discovered that school in America is not just education from books in a schoolroom. It is so very much more than that, have never seen anything like it before. In the beginning my head would ring with all the activity, but now I too am able to understand all this activity and join in with the rest of my friends. There is a spirit with which students enter into the different affairs which must be felt to understand, hut it is all around the school. It began with a class picnic in the summer and goes into the dances, sports events, elections and even into just sitting around talking. It is just marvelous how everyone joins into the outside activities which make the American school so wonderful. I hope I will always retain that old Slatington spirit. . . . LOYAL AND DEVOTED TO CLASS DEDICATION Mr. John Parsons, born on October 21, 1925, has lived in Paimerton almost all of his life. After graduating from Pal- merton High School, he entered Ursinus College. Mr. Par- sons also studied at the University of the South and at Yale University. He obtained his first teaching position in the Upper Perkiomen Joint School District. In 1958 he became a physics and general science teacher at S.H.S. Today Mr. Parsons, a devoted father of four, participates in the activities of his church and in the community band. He is also an avid hunter and takes great pride in his tree nursery. Although a very busy man, Mr. Parsons finds time to ad- vise the Class of 1966. “Mr. P” has ably performed this duty during our four years at S.H.S. A problem was never too minute nor too complex for Mr. Parsons. He was al- ways willing to help with all class projects. With his cheerful smile and ready wit, Mr. Parsons proved to be a friend to all. He always was available to help us with personal or scholastic problems. The Class of 1966 owes a great debt of gratitude to Mr. Parsons who has so capably and efficiently led us during the past four years. For this reason, we dedicate REFLEC- TIONS 1966 to Mr. John Parsons. LEISURE TIME — Mr. Parsons takes some time to complete a set of blueprints.

It is so different from home. We can go out for sports or join clubs or be members of chorus or band. If we are members of a club, there are different ac- tivities to attend sponsored by them. They sponsor dances, take field trips and they have different speakers talking to them. The different classes have different activities: The freshmen sponsor the St. Patrick’s dance; the sophomores sponsor the Senior Farewell; the juniors, the Junior Prom; and the seniors, the Christmas Dance. These dances are a lot of work. 'The classes have activities other than dances such as the Junior Declamation Contest. I wish we had some of these activities at home. That would be great . . .

W'ertman. The REFLECTIONS Staff, is composed of numerous divisions and is guided by our faculty advisor, Miss Peters. The members of the yearbook staff worked diligently and loyally throughout their senior year to produce REFLEC- TIONS 1966. Publishing a yearbook requires many hours of school-and after-school-time; therefore, in addition to the two monthly meetings of the REFLECTION Staff, Monday evening sessions were frequently held. The Liter- ary Staff is responsible for compiling and writing all the literary data found in this yearbook. Given the task of de- signing the yearbook, the Art-Layout Staff successfully at- tained a new style for REFLECTIONS 1966. Pictures in this yearbook are the result of the effort put forth by the students of the Photography Staff. Because of an increase in the size of the yearbook, the Advertising Staff was faced with the task of securing sufficient funds; therefore, each member of the staff willingly participated in this effort. Of course, no lx ok could l e completed without the services of the typists and proofreaders. Each member of the year- book staff has gained some new knowledge of the world of printing and publishing, and each has formed new acquain- tances through his association with experts in yearbook- production. No senior will soon forget his experiences on the staff of REFLECTIONS 1966. Editors - lsl ROW, D. German, M. Paules, K. Trettel, C. Kemp, C. Geiger, J. Papay, C. Wuchter. 2nd ROW', R. Mills, D.

Every student at Slatington High School is familiar with our school newspaper, the Slate. Published during the school term by the stu- dents and printed by the Graphic Arts Class, the Slate is eagerly awaited each month. Mr. Carl Trollinger and Miss Brenda Peters serve as faculty advisors to the busy staff, which is headed by Franics Lorah, editor-in-chief; Gin- ger Roberts, assistant editor. These students as well as many other re- porters and behind-the-scene workers, try hard to bring us a newspaper which is both infor- mative and interesting. This is why it has be- come such an important part of our school. NEWSY — These reporters make the Slate possible. 1st ROW: VI. Paules. S. Dorward, S. Wertman, K. Wertman, C. Dalrvm- ple, F.

BUILDING HIGH STANDARDS NEW MEMBER - Newly elected to National Honor Society is Linda Boyer. The Slatington High School Chapter of the National Honor Society consists of thirty mem- bers which are led by Fred Steckel, President; Francis Lorah, Vice President; and Karen Wert- man, Secretary. Miss Naylor is the advisor. The members of this society represent in the estima- tion of the faculty the highest qualities of charac- ter, scholarship, leadership, and service; and it is an honor to be selected as a member of this soci- ety. The main project of the National Honor Soci- ety during the 196.5-66 school term was the ini- tiation of a tutoring program. 23 REPRESENTATIVES SEEK TO HARD AT WORK - Student Council members A.

This body contains a representative and alternate from each homeroom in the school as well as Senior Officers. Student Council sponsors several activities for the benefit of the students. The big oper- ation is that of the lxx)k store, which serves as a refreshment stand and a place to pur- chase school articles. Throughout the vear, the council holds many dances and grants permission for clubs to sponsor dances. The Talent-Fashion Show gives the students an opportunity to display their talent. A night full of fun awaits those who attend Fun Night. The Council is ably led by its President, Karen Wertman; Vice President, Dale Ben- ninger; Secretary, Linda Kresge; and Trea- surer, John Anthony.

Yet this fatherly, soft-spoken man is as ruthless as Mac- Beth, one of the roles he played on Broadway in years past. Grandison hoodwinks almost everyone — including the local detective chief. The exception is Frank Movhihan, fiance of one of Grandison’s victims. To gain access to the houses, Frank poses as the man Tyl married during a seige of amnesia in New York and, in order to aid him, his sister Jane becomes Grandison’s secre- tary. And so the plot thickens as the Juniors hold the audience on the edge of their seats. This play was a success because of the hard work and capable director, Mr. John Porambo. HELP — P. Smith and L. Leiby seem to be disposing of the evidence. A MYSTERY FOR JUNIOR PLAY FAMILY PORTRAIT - Members of the cast of the Junior Play assemble for our camera. 26 SENIOR PLAY A HIT AT S.H.S. A comedy in three acts, “Girl-Shy,” di- rected by John Porambo, was presented by the Senior Class on March 17 and 18 at 8 p.m. in the high school auditorium. Chosen by Mr. Porambo, the cast consisted of Coleen Kemp, Glenn Scheffler, Robert Ring- er, James Wescoe, Diane Diel ert, Dianne Lewis, and several other characters who helped to add to the suspense of the play. Jane Kern assisted Mr. Porambo as student di- rector. Ginger Rol erts was production manag- er, and each committee pitched in to do its share of the work. The plot centers around Tom and Oke, roommates, who are about to graduate from college. Tom is girl-shy, and Oke isn’t. Babs, the girl who is gunning for Tom, finally gets a chance at him when she changes places with the girl who cleans their room. Just as some- thing beautiful develops, Tom’s father arrives with a girl for Tom to marry. A kidnapping helps to bring the play to a close. THE CAST — C. Geiger, R. Mills. C. Dalrvmple, R. DeFrain, K. Trettlc. C. Kemp. R. Ringer, J. Wescoe, D. Lewis, G. Scheffler. D. Diebert, and J. Rau. CHORALIERS END ON SPRING MUSICALE - Choraliers pose before performance of their annual spring concert. A FITTING GOOD-BYE - F. Steckel presents Mrs. Evans with a sterling silver tea service. During the past ten years, Mrs. Marion Evans has given ceaselessly of her time, effort, and talent to the choruses of Slatington High School. Her untiring work has proven highly successful in making our chorus concerts a much an- ticipated event in the school year. The musically inclined students have an opportunity to demonstrate their ability in two concerts every year. The first concert was given for Christmas. Contributing to the festivities, several children of the faculty members added yuletide spirit to the chorus’ rendition of “Drummer Boy”. The Spring Musicale, the second concert, was dedicated to our retiring director whom we shall greatly miss. The highlight of the concert was the presentation of a gift to Mrs. Evans. Just before the “Alma Mater” was sung, Fred Steckel rose and pre- sented Mrs. Evans with a dozen red roses and a sterling sil- ver tea set. Fred also spoke to Mrs. Evans on behalf of the chorus telling her how we will miss her and wishing her luck in the future. 28 NOTE OF REGRET DRUMMER BOYS — Four extra added attractions at SHS. FEATURED SINGERS — Girls Ensemble adds to the program. WE’LL MISS YOU — Sentiment ruled as Mrs. Evans was presented with gift from chorus members. IT’S ALL OY’ER - Who ever thought everything would turn out so well, thank goodness. 29 1st ROW: J. Papay, L. Schuler, C. Wuchter, N. Roth, F. Lorah, C. Dal- rymple, E. Frederick, H. Herb. M.

BUSINESS WORLD STUDIED Discassion — Mr. Horvath seems to be giving J. Zeiser some helpful ad- vice. Training commercial students on how to apply their knowledge to their future careers is a difficult job. The Fu- ture Business Leaders Club aids the Commercial Depart- ment by providing its members with a pleasant form of learning. Members of this club are directed on how to obtain desirable jobs and guided on proper procedures for inter- views. By interviewing recent business graduates, the stu- dents learn what to expect when they seek their first jobs. Visiting various companies, such as the Keystone Lamp Company, club members viewed clerical operations firsthand. On March 21 the club invited a representative of the House of Charm, Judy Greenwood, to speak about the charm school. Members, as well as non-members, of the club listened to the speaker, and many of them benefited by the talk. Among other activities, the club sponsored the recrea- tion dance on March 25. The Future Business Leaders Club has undoubtedly helped many of the girls in their chosen careers. 30 THEY AID LIBRARIAN Helpful Aides — M. Rodenbach, M. Paules, K. Creasey, and D. Lewis check to see that only the latest issues are placed in reading rack. The Library Club under the direction of Miss Evelyn Morgan functions ably throughout the school year. Meet- ing the third Monday of each month, the assistants attempt to aid both the student and teacher and supply all the reading and refer materials needed during the school year. The business meetings are conducted by four capable officers: Karen Creasey, President; Sharon Dorward, Vice President; Gail Kern, Secretary; and Carol Snyder, Trea- surer. In addition to aiding the students and teachers, the girls replace books, read shelves, and keep close accounts of overdue lxx)ks. The girls representing the freshmen, sophomore, junior, and senior classes are taught library procedures during the first few weeks of their instruction, then they are ready to utilize their knowledge to help others. 1st ROW: R.

The Future Teachers Club, an active organization at SHS, takes part in many school functions. Meeting on the first Monday of the month, the club prepares and encour- ages high school students for careers in teaching. Advised bv a member of the faculty, Mrs. Doris Smith, the business meetings are riui smoothly by the presiding officers: presi- dent, Martha Paules; vice-president, Linda Boyer; secre- tary, Kathy Chandler; treasurer, Nancy Patterson; and his- torian, Marsha Jones. At the meetings, the members learn about many recommended colleges, varied careers in the field of education, how to cope with pupils, and how and what to teach. Acting as ushers for all the school events, FTA members gain points which when accumulated go to- ward pins, keys and insignias. As preparations for future careers as teachers, the seniors are sent to local elementary schools for two days to the grade of their choice where they have the chance to observe teaching subjects. This trial period is very advantageous, for it either encourages or discourages FTA members. Participating in Books U.S.A., the FTA helps to send books to underprivileged na- tions for the sake of their betterment through education. BIG DECISION - Carol Roth and Neil Smith can’t seem to make up their minds about a college. FUTURE PEDAGOGUES 1st ROW: J. Kreitz, S. Lauchnor, K. Lazor, S. Kcm. D. Delbert, C. Roth, Leiby, H.

The following officers and students are members of the Math Club: President, Fred Steckel; Vice Presi- dent, Glenn Scheffler; Secretary, and Treasurer, Ronnie Heintzelman; Richard Phillips, and Henry Distler. The Math Club which meets on the third Monday of the month, is under the capable direction of Mr. Russell Stettler. A college atmosphere is pres- ent, so that the members may familiarize and pre- pare themselves for the teaching techniques used in schools of higher education. During the course of the year, students are encouraged to do research on par- ticular phases of mathematics. At the completion of a research project, the student reports on his findings; consequently, all benefit from the work. In addi- tion to personal research, the members are taught the understanding and use of the slide rule and fre- quently “quizzed” on the more ambiguous phases of mathematics. EXPLANATION — R. Heintzelman offers his theory to a problem put before the club by Mr. Stettler. 33 INTERESTED LANGUAGE STUDENTS 1st ROW S. Hensinger, J. Trettel, A. Schneck, B. Moppes, M. Shirk. S. wait, G.

If you were, the person greeting you was probably a member of the Slatington High School lan- guage Club. Mrs. Hicks is the capable advisor of the Lan- guage Club. She sees to it; that all of her club members are present at every meeting, because she would not want any one of them to miss any tidbit of information con- cerning Germany or France. Culture is an important aspect of learning the language of any country. Have you ever wondered how many states there are in Germany or how many people inhabit the country of France? 1 am sure any Language Club member will be only to glad to “fill you in” about these things and anything else you would like to know about Germany or France. If ever you are planning a trip to Germany or France it will be important that you can speak the language of the country. You may want to try sleep-learning, or you may try learning the language from a record, but the best way would be to ask the help of a Language Club member. Af- ter a time, you would l e able to speak understandable Ger- man or French. You w ill have the Language Club member to give the credit to because of the advice he was able to give you.

Under the capable supervision of Mrs. Jones, our school nurse, the Future Nurses Club affords its members an opportunity to view the nursing profession and to de- cide if it is the profession for them. During the past year, the club has heard guest speakers, viewed film strips, and toured the Coatesville Hospital. Its members have put together baskets for the needy at Christmas and have also made favors for children in the hospital at Easter time. The following members served as the officers of the club during the past year: Bonnie Roth, Presi- dent; Pam Lewis, Vice President; Carol Geiger, Secretary; and Gin- ger Roberts, Treasurer. TOO TIGHT — Pam seems to be trying to tell Trudie something. «PROCEDURE — Mrs. Jones explains visitation schedule to Carol Ceiger. 35 SMILING CHEFS — Bovs in this club take time out to pose for this candid. BOYS BECOME HOMEMAKERS The Boys Home Ec Club is designed to teach boys the fundamentals of cooking. Composed of all boys, the atmosphere be- comes quite noisy at times with certain boys explaining to others how certain techniques are done, it varies from mixing a cake to cooling fudge. This is where the most courageous woman of Slatington High School steps in. Miss Rossi. Miss Rossi with her continuous warning of “clean out the burners on the stoves,” wonders at times if her class is making any progress in the sense of learning. She continuously presents the class with nu- merous recipes that are really quite easy to prepare. Sometimes she asks for ideas on what to do for the next meeting, but usually all the suggestions are quickly omit- ted. Assisting Miss Rossi at all possible times are the officers of the club: David German, president; Robert Ringer, vice- president; and Willard Gersbach, secre- tary-treasurer. Because of the large at- tendance of the first meeting. Miss Rossi had to make one of two decisions; one was to eliminate a few of the attendants that were present or have a few students come at another club period. She decided that to be fair with everyone she would extend her class to two periods. The Boys Home Ec Club now meets on the third and fourth Monday or every month. TASTY TREAT — Bill Gersbach and Farrell Snyder test some cookies they just made. 36 BEHIND THE SCENES The Visual Aids Club plavs an essential part in the ac- tivities and daily schedule of our school. Guiding the mem- bers of this club, Dr. Earl Bender shows his ability to teach the operation of the camera and filming equipment to his students. The students belonging to this club spend most of their time during club period learning how to splice film. In addition to working during club period, these students take pictures of almost all the activities taking place in our school. They also provide films, filmstrips, tape recorders, and record players for the teachers who will be using these visual aids to give their students a well-rounded knowledge of the subject they are teaching.

THEY TAKE PICTURES REPLACING SUPPLIES — B. Handwerk and V. Deppe make sure all supplies for the club are checked. The Photo Club is probably one of the most informative clubs in our school. Supervised and directed by Mr. Don- ald Jones, these boys quickly learn the complicated tech- niques of photography. For those of us who have previous- ly viewed a good photograph as an accident, it might be wise to ask some member of this club exactly what are the correct procedures of this art. The boys study many different types of cameras and learn which ones are suit- able for different types of photography. But more important than the camera is the photographer himself, and Mr. Jones works hard to develop skilled photographers with a knowledge of their equipment and an eye for a good picture. 38 1st ROW C.

To properly develop mentally, physically, and morally is the objective of each girl in the Tri-Hi-Y as this club dili- gently attempts to build the character of every individual. The many girls belonging to the Slatington High School Tri-Hi-Y Club combine health, education, and religion in performing lx th school and civic functions. As a service to the community, the club canvasses annually for the United Fund Organization. Every Easter, the members use their dramatic talents to entertain the students by por- traying the religious and secular aspects of this holiday. Each girl greatly looks forward to attending the UN Model Assembly at Harrisburg. Here several hundred girls, repre- senting schools throughout Pennsylvania, meet to enact a replica of the United Nations General Assembly. L ..V DELEGATES — B. Q rrell, K. Wertman, B. Kistler, and Jane Jones wear dress of their chosen country. Guinea, for the U.N. Convention in Harrisburg. 40 CULINARY SKILLS GAINED Despite all the emphasis placed on new careers for women, there is no substitute for a good homemaker. For this reason, we are glad that there are still some girls who are interested in improving their homemaking skills. It is every girl’s duty to learn all she possibly can about caring for a home and family. The Future Homemaker’s Club gives high school girls the opportunity to do just that. Meeting once each month, the club uses our modem kitchen and family living center to practice the many as- pects of homemaking. Anyone passing through the halls can tell just what their latest project is by the delicious aromas drifting through the door of the kitchen. Miss Mar- garet Rossi, their skilled instructor, lends assistance and guidance wherever they are needed. JUST A PINCH — S. Hensinger. A. Schneck, and J. Trettel seem to he stirring up a new dish.

ONE, TWO, THREE - Kathy Solt makes sure she keeps the beat as she plays her solo in the annual band concert. 42 MUSICIANS HAVE SUCCESSFUL YEAR The Slatington High School Band under the direction of Mr. Angelo Scarselletti, participates in many activities throughout the school year. Performing at all football games and home basketball games the band members dis- play true spirit and loyalty to their school in song and cheer. Another important task of the band is representing our school in various parades throughout the area. This year our talented musicians proved their versatile ability by placing second in the Hokendauqua Veteran’s Day Pa- rade. Several band members represented SHS at the Lehigh County Band Festival held at Whitehall High School, while three others gained the great honor to par- ticipate in District Band and Regional Band at Tulpeho- chen High School and Warrior Run High School respec- tively. The highlight of the year is the annual band concert held in early spring. Band members spend many hours in preparation of this event. The great success of this year’s Mary Poppins performance indicates the tremendous dili- gence and talent of the SHS Band. Our capable Dixieland Band, which plays for many school activities and civic organizations, was honored to play for the Lehigh County teachers when they attended a conference at S.H.S. The fifteen seniors will not soon for- get their years in the band. 43 TENSION MOUNTS - Members of the SHS band try to relax before their performance of Mar)' Poppins.

Those baton-twirling, high-stepping girls, our Slatington High School major- ettes, are always there to help the cheer- leaders instill spirit in our student body. Spending hours practicing new steps and routines to gain perfection, the ma- jorettes faithfully appear at football and basketball games. They perform at our school’s pep rallies and other activities, such as the Talent-Fashion Show. One of the many school organizations of which our student body has a right to be proud is our fine, hard-working ma- jorette squad. TALENT EVERYWHERE - The majorettes livened up the Talent Fashion Show with their routine to “Hungry for Love”. TIME OUT — Our hardworking majorettes pause to pose for the camera. D. Saas, D.

ATTENTION — Girls practice salute for half-time entertainment. Our active colorguard squad plays an important part in our school activi- ties. These girls, advised by Miss Pat Kowalsky and headed by Karen Wert- man, are very imaginative, creative, and hard working. The girls them- selves create their own twirls and dances. In addition to making new routines, these eager beavers worked until they had enough money to buy new uniforms. Their ability to use any available space for practicing is a sure sign that they are anxious to learn new routines and to strive for perfection. These girls exhibit their talent at such school activities as pep rallies and the Talent Fashion show. ALLEY CATS — A cute routine for Talent-Fashion Show. 1st ROW c. Reitz, M. Kuntz, S.

Learning lines is not the only job of a performer, before lines can be memorized, a full knowledge of the stage and its properties must be had. In this club the student learns that before he may por- tray a role, he must first be able to experience the feelings of the character for whom he has been chosen. This club aids in the production of our fine class plays. As a club they produce no plays but study the aspects of a production so they may be able to perform better when they receive the chance in their junior and senior years. Their favorite study is on the art of make-up. It is here that most girls in the club excel. MAKE-UP — Susan Grammes helps Carol Kern apply her make-up. STUDY — J. Becker helps K. Smith with lines for the play. 46 PRO VS. CON TRUE TEST — Here the debaters practice what they have been taught throughout the year by their coach. The Slatington High School debate team, under the capable direction of Mrs. Edith Roeder, have brought re- spect and honor to our school. As sophomores, many stu- dents eagerly anticipate joining the speech class, for, this is one requirement necessary to join the debate team. Many students continue to take speech as juniors and seniors. It is these students and those enrolled in the Pro and Con Club who make up the debate team. Each year the distinguished members travel to various other schools debating the selec- ted questions to l e resolved. Each member is placed on ei- ther an affirmative or negative team consisting of four members. Two members on this team present the argu- ment while the third and fourth members are the rebutalist and questionnaire. The debaters spend many hours pre- paring their speeches and gathering the necessary infor- mation needed to prove their every statement. After the information has been gathered, many mock-up debates are held between the teams. These mock-up debates allow the students to see their weak points in time to make altera- tions to their arguments. Each year a rally is held for the debaters at one of the designated schools. Here the deba- ters converse in friendly conversation, rather than argu- mentative debate. After a recreation period, the debating season is closed with a festive banquet. CLASSTIME — The debate teams of Slatington meet with Mrs. Roeder to plan strategy. 47 SPORTS . . . Here in Slatington there is a great variety of sports in which one can participate for both boys and girls. Fall is football season. Football is a sport quite different from what we all football. In America, our football is called soccer. In football, they don’t kick the ball, they throw it, and everybody on the other team throws over the p(X r boy with the ball. Since I’ve seen the games, I understand it better, and it is very interesting. When football season is over, it is soon time for basketball and wrestling season to begin. These are very similar to ours. The girls also have a basketball team. The rules are slightly different front ours. Besides these league sports, there is intramural basketball for girls as well as baseball. In this the girls in our school compete against each other. Springtime brings track atul baseball season. It is so different for me to have so many sports in school and I will really miss them when I come back home. . . . SLATERS END SEASON WITH VICTORY The Slaters under the leadership of Coach Fred Snyder ended the 1965 season with a 3-7 won lost record. Al- though this record does not indicate a winning team, these boys were always playing to win. Unlike the inexperienced Slaters of 64, they were ready to go; and, despite a definite disadvantage in weight and depth the Slaters made up for this in desire. Most football season’s success or failure hang in the balance of the tradi- tional Turkey Day game and if this is the case, Slatington’s season was highly successful. Co-captains Larry Parry and Cliff Williams helped add that little extra to the team effort. This year’s team boasted thirteen seniors who will be hard to replace for next year’s team.

GOOD ADVICE — Mrs. Blose seems to lie explaining to John Nierer just what he should have done on the last play. If you look at their scores, the Junior Varsity Football season was not very successful. They won one game and lost six. Actually, how much can l e measured when scores are given? The experience acquired and the skill learned is much more important than the final scores. We hope these boys w ill use their lessons well when they take part in Var- sity Football in the years to come. Mr. Walter Blose, the Junior Varsity Football coach, did a fine job training the boys and giving them vital information about the game of football. There were no permanent captains picked from the squad. Instead, they were picked before each game. These boys began meeting two weeks before the school year started. While September, October, and November rolled by, these lx ys were practicing after school and even after supper. Then they played games on various days in- cluding Saturdays. So they had a strenuous w'orkout all week long for three months. But they were well rewarded for their effort. In Assembly the boys were given letters, chevrons, or whatever they had earned. All things consid- ered, the season cannot be termed unsuccessful as any Junior Varsity Football player will tell you. 52 1st ROW B. llankee, D. Reese 2nd ROW N. Handwerk, J.

TEAM RECORDS GOOD YEAR A memorable year was recorded by the junior varsity of Slatington. Coached by Mr. Richard Jones, the junior Sla- ters posted a record of twelve wins and nine losses, three of which were losses by only one point. The highlight of the season was the Catasauqua game. The Slaters have not taken a game away from the Rough Riders for quite some time, but this was the year for the Slaters. Leading the team through the year were co-captains David Reese and Bruce Hankee. Much credit should go to these boys for their service during the year. The loss of the sophomore boys to the varsity will leave a number of posi- tions to be filled but Mr. Jones should have little difficulty finding the boys to do the job. WHERE THE ACTION IS — Referee makes sure there was no foul on Dave's shot. ACTION BEGINS — R. Skeath takes a jump hall away from Emmaus. UP AND OVER — R. Kutney passes over the head of a defender. SLATERS GET GOING NEW STEP — J. Haydt seems to be trying new step as he passes to D. Rustay. With a thrilling one-point loss to Catasauqua, the ’65-’66 Slater basketball squad closed out their season and the 30- year career of Mr. Lloyd Williams. Lacking in size but decidedly not in spirit, the Slaters broke even during the ex- hibition schedule. The SHS men were in the cellar during the first half of the Lehigh Valley League however, a new spark came over the l oys during the second half. The de- termined and spirited play of the SHS men reached its peak against Catasauqua. Coach Williams asked the fel- lows to give him a game to remember, and they did! Against the taller and better-balanced Catty squad, the Slaters produced one of the finest games in LVL history, finally losing by one heart-breaking point. A sad note entered the sports scene when Coach Wil- liams officially announced his 30 years of coaching was at an end. During this tenure as coach he had one District XI championship and one LVL championship. William O. Jones, capably assisted Mr. Williams as assistant coach this year. With Mr. Williams’ resignation an era has ended, but it will never be forgotten in the annals of SHS sports. 54 1st ROW L. Williams, coach, F. I orah, W. Jones, assistant coach, 2nd ROW J. Haydt, R.

Our wrestlers finished fifth in the Lehigh Valley league standings. Wayne Benninger (95) and Rick Papay (136), two of four returning lettermen of the season, finished the league season with an undefeated record. The other re- turning lettermen for the season were Dale Benninger 130) and Lanny Lewis (112). The turnout of forty-two candidates at the beginning of the season was Slatington’s best yet. This proves that efforts to boost interest in the sport have been successful and that wrestling is becoming more popular every year. The number of spectators at the wrestling meets also shows the increase in popularity of the sport. Graduation will take some of our wrestlers. Graduating are: Rick Papay, Dale Benninger, Ed Lehman, Cliff Wil- liams, Doug Lilly, Cary Kmm, Keith Smith, and Darryl Steigerwalt. PRACTICE MEANS PERFECT — or so the saying goes, and the S.H.S. squad hopes to lienefit from this advice. 57 SLATERS NUMBER ONE HOORAH FOR S.H.S. — Fred Stcckel accepts lxjhigh Valley league Championship trophy for his team.

STEP BY STEP — R. Heinzelmau closes gap in the mile. 59 The track team of 1966 let Slatington know what it feels like to be on top of the League, compiling an unblemished 7-0 record. Decisive victories came with second place Em- maus (6-1) and third place Northampton (5-2). A championship team is the result of hours of hard work and strenuous training coupled with determination to win. Even long l efore the season began, we could see boys run- ning around town to keep in condition. Our track, itself, was improved this year with the addi- tion of a macadamized broad jump and pole vault runway and discus circle. Use of the public address system was an- other improvement that allowed easy following of the pro- gress of each home meet. Playing key roles in our victories were — an out-standing sprint team led by Fred Steckel who scored a league record high of 99 points in the regular season while setting school records in the 100 and 220 yard dashes and a track record in the 440. The other dashmen were Juniors Randy Skeath (38 points) and Rich Phillips (30 points). Shot putter and broad jumper Alex Nierer (39 points). Miler Ron Heintzelman (33 points) holding the school record in this event. Discus thrower Cliff Williams (29 points) who holds the Alumni Field discus record. This was the track team’s first title in the five year mem- bership in the league, and no one was more pleased than Coach Marvin Miller and Assistant Coach Richard Jones. To Coach Miller, each meet was a source of great concern and worry. Although our future teams will certainly feel the ab- sence of many valuable seniors, we have confidence in winn- ing seasons built on a nucleus of underclassmen. 1966 SLATERS — Team members, managers, and coach take time out from busy schedule to be photo- graphed. IMPORTANT PLAY — About to make that important out is J. Haydt. ROUGH SCHEDULE The Slatington High School baseball team, under the able direction of William Reese, coach, and Marvin Kester assistant coach, gave their fans quite a few fast moving ball games during the 1965-66 baseball season. After a slow start the Slater nine finished with an almost even record with seven wins and eight losses. The Slater team possessed a will to win and worked long and hard to shape themselves into a team. Cold weather in the begin- ning of the season hampered the team somewhat but the team’s determination helped them along. Valuable players for the season were David Gusick, outfield and James Haydt, infield, co-captains, who helped the team throughout the season. Other players included L. Easterday, R. Howey, K. Minnich, K. Edwards,R. Moreira, L. Prutzman, F. Gersbach, R. Hankee, W. Bower, A. Hoffman, R. Kresge, J. Scott, N. Handwerk, B. Hankee, T. Olewine, R. Kuntz, D. Lilly, G. Van Norman and D.

Although many long hours of practice are required to main- tain those perfectly arched jumps and symmetric pyramids, it all proves worth the work. Life and color is added to foot- ball and basketball games and they are great morale builders for the teams. KEEP THEM CHEERING - Pep rallies just wouldn’t be complete without these gals. GUESS WHO LOST - Sometimes cheering with the crowd just isn’t enough to win that game. 62 SLATERETTES LOOK GOOD 1st ROW: B. Roth. S. DeLong, C. Hallman, B. Kistler, P. Lewis. N. Moyer. R. Eroh. M.

I am now a senior in an American high school. But my class, although the highest, is not the only class or group in the school. Life in high school begins with the ninth year in school which they organize into one group and call the freshmen class. It is here in this group, under the supervision of competent advisers that they begin accepting the responsibilities needed for high school life. The next step of school life is the tenth year or the sophomore class and from here to the next step or eleventh year which is the junior class. All this time they are progressively preparing for their big and final year as a senior. During the year these classes sponser projects to raise money for their class which they keep until they are seniors. The classes use this money to go on a class trip, buy a gift for the school and print a yearbook among other things. c All through the years the students in each class may also choose subjects best suited to them so that they will be prepared for life when they graduate. HONORABLE MENTION’ — G. Howey makes last minute check on his project. Beginning their senior high school days, the new fresh- men are full of energy and expectations. These freshmen are a welcome addition to our student body, even though the upper-classmen do not always appreciate them. The faces of these new students reflect their diligence and their willingness to work. With this attitude we are sure that these newcomers will adjust readily to high school life and live up to traditions of previous classes. Throughout the year they have proven themselves wor- thy of being called freshmen of Slatington High School. They are not only creative but also new and refreshing. Their “Shamrock-a-go-go” proved to be a successfully new approach to a Saint Patrick’s Day dance. With the closing of another school year, freshmen find many vacancies in the varsity teams as senior athletes are graduated from high school. They will also be eligible for membership in otheF senior high extra-curricular activities such as concert choir and newspaper staff. Academically, these students work hard preparing school studies and, after a year in their chosen curriculum, many have begun to formulate their plans for the future.

Only after they choose a course of study can their classes for the coming year be chosen. Many other changes await these students in the form of athletic events, band, chorus, and dances. This class of willing workers is led by Ryan Kemp, President; Derek Lilly, Vice-Presi- dent: Jean Plotsko, Secretary; and Connie Parry, Treasurer. The class advisors are Mrs. Smith and Mr. Connors. The class motto, which is “I came, I saw, I conquered,” seems to set quite high goals for this group. The class flower is a carna- tion and the colors of the class are green and gold.

Strohl check their assignment. Encountering their first year of the senior high school, sophomores greet new opportunities presented to them. They have conducted themselves well during this school year, and have been well represented in all areas of school life. As freshmen, they spent much of the year becoming accustomed to new surroundings and new procedures. Now, as experienced senior high students, they have devoted themselves to achieving goals set by their upper classmen. Ambitious sophomores all study English, World History and General Science, a course that includes several periods of laboratory work, each week. Social adjustment is required of all sophomores. During the year they have sponsored a record dance, entered whole-heartedly into our magazine campaign, and planned a lovely Senior Farewell for the Senior Class members. They have also participated in chorus, band, sports, and many other clubs. On the whole, they have made out- standing athletes, scholars, and musicians. If they continue to maintain their present record, they can some day be worthy Seniors at Slatington High School. We offer these challenge to our energetic sophomore friends and wish them the best of luck. 1st ROW: S. Peters, V. Overholt, S. Oncheck, J. Perich, S. Mills, D. Red- line, D. Roderick, D. Miller. L.

Guided by Mr. Marvin Miller and Mrs. Edith Roeder, the sophomore class embarks upon their second year as an organized body. The class of 68 has become well-known throughout the past two years because of their friend- liness and cooperation. Bruce Hankee, class president, leads the members in their attempt to raise money. In his absence, James Hor- vath, vice-president, directs the activities. Detailed records are kept by secretary, Sarah Kern. Serving her second year as treasurer, June Trettel handles all funds. The class colors are green and gold and the class flower is a white rose. “The keys of knowledge open the door to the future” is the motto the class has chosen.

JUNIORS REALIZE VALUE Most memorable social event of the year is the Junior Prom where a queen is chosen each year. Advancing another step on the social ladder, the Junior Class had a full schedule of activities to enjoy. Also on the agenda is the Junior Decla- mation, for which orators are chosen by the faculty. As Seniors-elect the Junior Class becomes more and more aware of education requirements and standards. They undergo many tests in- cluding College Board Entrance Examinations and the optional Merit Scholarship Tests. CLASS LEADERS — E. Snyder, Vice President; R. Phillips, President; E. Merkle, Secretary, and C. Danner. Treasurer have led their class for three years. 76 BIG DECISION — D. Messinger, D. Reese, D. Hughes, and C. Treskot have a choice to make for their rings.

President of the class, R. Phillips, should- ers much of the work, aided by E. Snyder, E. Merkle, and G. Danner, who are vice-president, secretary, and treasurer respectively. Guided by Sarah Miller and John Porambo this industrious class is willingly forging ahead at a fast pace following its motto, The past forever gone, the future still our own.” Two activities that are inherent to the junior class from which may evolve a well-known actor or speaker are the class play and the Declama- tion contest. In spite of a full calendar of social events these energetic juniors still manage to maintain high scholastic standards. HELPING HAND — L. Erschen helps R.

In my senior class there are 163 students. There are 98 girls and 65 boys. The class this year is the largest to graduate from Slatingtons new high school building. The senior class is of course the most important class in the school. All the younger classmen are looking up to the seniors and they envy them, wishing they were already seniors. It is not easy to he a senior. The working schedule is hard and it is sometimes unbelievable that they have time for all their different activities. Our senior class has earned money for a class trip, yearbook, a class present to the school, and for graduation. They earned this money by selling Christmas cards in their senior year, through dances, through the sale of magazines, and through class plays. I am looking forward to the class trip at the end of the year as well as the senior farewell dance. I am also looking forward to graduation, not that I want to leave, but I feel very proud to return to Sweden with an American high school diploma . . . anthony, john james business student council 4 (treasurer); boys gym club 1,3.4; boys home ec club 4; homeroom president 4; track 3,4; wrestling 3,4: junior prom escort 3; junior play 3 (stagehand). aver, linda louise college preparatory fu- ture nurses club 1,2,3; sophomore tri-hi-y 2; senior tri-hi-v 4; girls gym club 1; cho- rus 1,2,3. benninger, dale dennis college prep ara- tory student council 4 (vice president); yearbook 4 (photography); boys gym club 1; boys home ec club 4; visual aids club 1,2,3,4; varsity “s” club 4: football 1,4; track 1,3,4; wrestling 2,3,4; junior play cast 3; junior prom court 3; junior bowl- ing league 2,3. bower, kathleen janice college prepara- tory future nurses club 1,2,3; sophomore tri-hi-y 2; senior tri-hi-v 4; yearbook 4 (literary); slate 2,3,4 (page editor, report- er); chorus 1.2,3; intramural softball 2; junior play production 3. bowers, bruce philip college preparatory varsity “s’' club 4: football 4; baseball 4. bowers, carol louise business future business leaders 4; sophomore tri-hi-v 2.3; girls gym club 4; majorette club 1. bowman, barbara ann business future nurses club 1; future business leaders 4; sophomore tri-hi-y 2,3; senior tri-hi-y 4; yearbook 4 (advertising staff); majorette club 1; dramatic club 3; chorus 1; intra- mural softball 1,2,3; junior play 4 (make- up committee). boyer, linda diane college preparatory fu- ture teachers club 2 (historian), 3 (trea- surer), 4 (vice-president); future homemak- ers club 1; yearbook 4 (literary staff); slate 4 (reporter, lay-out staff); library club 1.2.3,4; pro and con club 2 (treasurer); majorette club 2; dramatic club 3; chorus 1,2 (sophomore sextet), 3,4 (senior ensem- ble): national honor society 4; junior play production 3.

Here at Slatington, there are 31 teachers with a predominance of male teachers. These teachers are very friendly and helpful. What would I have done if my teachers would not have been so nice to me the first luird weeks in a new school in a foreign country? The members of our faculty are so easy to talk to, and the relation between the student ami the teacher is excellent; for we have respect for them, but there is no reason at all to fear them. The teachers here at Slatington are graduates of colleges and universities, many of them from nearby colleges just as they are at home. Many are past graduates of Slatington High School. Our faculty members have many responsilhlities. Different teachers are in charge of the many clubs. Members of our faculty are also in charge of the sports teams. These activities as well as the important job of teaching keep our teachers very busy. Indeed, the teachers here are busy, but they are also very interested in the student and were always willing to help me with my problems . . .

I noticed it already on the way from New York to Slatington. Along the roads were big billlx)ards advertising all kinds of things, even from soup to cars. As the billboards were so big I did not like them for they destroy the beautiful surroundings. Even in the towns there were billboards. In Slatington there are not so many, but the signs outside the different stores are usually larger than at home. In America they have commercials on TV and on the radio between the programs and during the programs which is very different from home. There is also advertising in the newspa x rs and magazines. You can find it almost everywhere. Our yearbook is very grateful for the help ivith money that the differ- ent firms and stores in Slatington have given to the book. Without their help it would luive been impossible to give out a good yearbook. . . . STYLECRAFT FASHIONS INC. Washington Main Streets Slatington, Penna.

Call — Chronicle Newspapers — in Allentown for their co- operation in giving pictures of school activities for publica- tion and for publicity during the school year.

I am going hack to Sweden and my friends here in America will go on to their summer activities and later to college, other schools, or the business world. Since I came, I was often tired of school. I wished I could stay home sometimes to catch up on my work. It seems I have always so much to do. Nevertheless, time went fast and I now realize my visit to America is nearing its end. I think that when I realized that things were meaning more to me, I really liked school. I hate to see the year coming to an end. I will be happy to go home to you, the best in the world, hut even the prospect of seeing my family does not make it easy for me to leave Slatington knowing I may never see the town again. This year has meant much to me. I know I have matured and that I have changed my views about America. It is too bad my time is up. I know I shall never forget the little town of Slatington. See you again, Marianne
