Slatington High School - Reflections Yearbook (Slatington, PA)

Text from Pages 1 - 160 of the 1981 volume:

5ooOO Table Of Contents SENIORS The graduating class of 1981 would like to thank two very special people by dedicating the yearbook to them, Mrs. Leslie and Mr. Rissmiller. This double dedication is new to the yearbook but certainly not out of line. We have seen many sides of Mr. Rissmiller over the years. His many characteristics stood out in everything he did. He graciously gave of his time over the 14 years he has been a teacher at S.H.S. so that sudents could participate in the various activities he advised. Mr. Rissmiller's eagerness showed through as soon as he arrived at Slatington by assuming the position of assistant football coach for four years. During this period, the football team has a 10-0 season. While enthusiastically coaching track for ten years, the track team won many championships. Nine years of dedication went to a very dominating cross country team which recorded numerous championships. Another nine years went into coaching a very successful boys basketball team which brought much pride to our school. Mr. Rissmiller was also the Student Council Advisor in his earlier years at S.H.S. No other class could have asked for a better, more caring class advisor than Mrs. Leslie. She had been with us since our first year at S.H.S. which was also her first year of teaching. Every year Mrs. Leslie has become more involved in the activities of S.H.S. She has been involved in the production of the Senior Class Play since her first year here. Heading the macrame club was also among her activities. Her many hours of working on our annual homecoming floats, organizing dances, and many other class events will never be forgotten. Also, we will always remember Mrs. Leslie for her bright smile and cheerful ways. We thank her for the interest and the enthusiastic involvement she has shown in our class. Both Mrs. Leslie and Mr. Rissmiller have been very dedicated and caring advisors. We dedicate this yearbook to them in return for all the hours they spent with our class, and most of all, for making our years at Slatington High School memorable. Thank you.

Class Trip On June 4, the class of 1981 began one of their last events together: the class trip. This three day adventure started with a stop in Washington. One of the highlights of Washington was meeting with Congressman Ritter. From Washington the class made their way to their motel in Virginia and wrapped the night up with a pool party. The second day of this adventure was spent at Bush Gardens. This day had much in store for it. The class enjoyed the shows and fun-filled rides. Many of the chap- erones enjoyed the tour of the brewer and the hospitality center. The last day of the trip was spent at Mount Vernon. From Mount Vernon the class boarded a boat which took them for a cruise up the Potomic River to Washington. As the tiring trip came to a close, many members of the class found various sleep positions as the bus headed for Slatington. c3l This year's Senior Class Play cast, consisting of 28, was the largest group with which director Larry Williams ever had to work. This posed many problems such as: getting everyone together at the same time and place, memorizing lines, and getting quiet on the set. Despite these problems, the weeks of long practices paid off on performance nights; November 28 and 29. The play Heaven Can Wait was produced by Harry Segal and deals with the hereafter which makes it difficult to perform. CAST.

Among her favorite places were Disneyland, Rock Mountain, and Hershey park. Nanda found her stay here in Slatington ex- tremely fulfilling. Being a very athletic individual, Nanda left her home with 309 medals, 15 trophies, and 10 plaques, naming her the Brazilian Swim- ming Champion; and when she came to Slatington High School, she participated in field hockey, basketball, and recrea- tional gym. When asked what she thought of her eight months in Slating- ton, she replied, It was very excellent and enjoyable experience for me and one that I will never forget. As SHS said good-bye to Nanda on January 30, 1980, we parted with a true friend whom we will always remember. Pictured below, Nanda waits for the bell to ring, dismissing her for the remainder of the school day. Veronica Cornejo left Ecuador on Au- gust 24, 1980. Coming to a new culture, she adjusted to many differences, one of which was adapting to SHS. In Quito, Veronica attended a strict, all girls. Catholic School.

Practicing during first period on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays, our concert band prepared for its annual Christmas and Spring performances. Along with these concerts, our talented musicians participated annually in an adjudication held at East Stroudsburg. On Saturday April 25, our concert band had their best showing. Three judges, two college professors and one high school director, judged our band for their concert performance. On a scale from 1-6, 1 being superior and 6 poor, all three judges gave our band two’s for outstanding. The judges felt that the concert band had “excellent appear- ance” and showed respect for their conductor. A fine 1980-81 season. Congratula- tions Bulldog Concert musicians. Henry gives it his all.

Conrad Birdie's fan club Presented on April 10 and 11, Bye Bye Birdie consisted of 65 people, the largest cast ever. Bye Bye Birdie tells the story of a rock and roll singer who is about to be inducted into the army. The singer Conrad Birdie (Lenny Bechtel), is an Elvis Presley type. Albert Peterson (John Ortiz), his agent, is a very pleasant mild mannered type. It is his faithful secretary Rose Alvarez (Cathy Roth), that keeps him and Birdie moving forward on the world. Rosie concocts one final national publicity plan before Conrad’s induction. He will bid a typical American teen-age girl, Kim MacAfee (Lorraine Frey), an All-American good bye. The cast traveled to New Hope where they performed at Bucks County playhouse receiving critics award for Excellence in Ensemble work (Michele Schuck, Karen Saas, Lorraine Frey), Best Supporting Actor (John Ortiz), and Best Actress (Cathy Roth). They returned home with 2 trophies and 4 awards. Cathy adds finishing touches. Dennis puts his foot down, but Lorraine doesn't agree. Teenagers are at it again. Smile Leslie, Smile! Oh Yeahhh!

Having a championship basketball team, the squad was honored by being chosen to cheer in the annual LARC basketball game. The game was East against West, and the girls cheered for many local stars. This year was very memorable for the girls. It was the last time 'Give me an S” could be used before the cheers for the Slatington High School bulldogs were changed to cheers for good ol NLHS.

Tina Wechsler, were elected in the spring of 1980 and were installed with a candlelight ceremony on Sept. 18. The group is advised by Mr. David Papay. Student Council was again in charge of Homecoming festivities, which entailed a Blue and White Day, word day, sign day, king of legs assembly and concluded with a parade and crowning of the queen. The release of the American hostages was recognized with the wearing of yellow ribbons purchased by the council. Planning “Bomb the Bomber Week” was another council effort which involved a hat and glasses day, Sadie Haw- kins day, and Blue and White day. The council has also arranged dances, a roller skating party, a ski trip, and Monte Carlo night. Hopefully, all future student coun- cils will be as successful as the 1980-1981 council.

The theme for the Summer Advisory Council was ‘‘Responsibility is the Fourth R One of the questions asked fits right into this title. “In your opinion, what are responsible disciplinary practices? For what misconduct and offenses should students be disciplined and to what extent? Kim Meinhart served as the group's secretary and Narda Montrom, Tracy Millward, Shelby Snyder, Steph Suto, and Bernie Bechtel comprised the discussion committee. The group came up with many solutions which were discussed with the entire council. Pros and cons were given on each suggestion. Mr. Sharkan took notes the entire time, hoping to be able to use the suggestions. When everyone had spoken his view, they were asked if they thought the session was worthwhile.

Some stand in awe and jealousy watching the seniors who have almost finished their travels down the very road that they are now just beginning. The trip ahead holds many joys and some disappointments. Their ticket is their desire and ability to learn everything they can to help them face their future years after their trip through school is complete. President: Richard Long.

For the freshmen just entering the high school, the best part of the day is the end when they can go home. Some are more fortunate than others. They are all given a schedule of their classes and the lucky ones with last period study have the option either of staying for the study hall or going home early. Bus students still need a ticket which is their parent’s permission to leave early. Another way of leaving school early is by having a dentist or doctor appoint- ment. The student must present pay- ment in the amount of one parent’s ex- cuse or appointment card. Mr. Solt gives the student his ticket which al- lows him to leave early to keep an im- portant appointment. If by chance a student becomes ill, he may go to the nurse, and she decides if it is necessary for early release. But here again, the parent holds the final decision as the student needs his own transportation. HOMEROOM M-2: Front flow; Lisa Fritzinger, Cindy Fritzinger, Sue Chang. Todd Evans. Eric Evans.

Do you feel they had the right to change the school name? What ideas do you have for the new school? In- clude mascots. A. Keep the same name-43 B. Keep the same mascot-28 3. What would you like your class to accomplish by the time you’re a sen- ior? What do you want to accomplish by the time you’re a senior? A. undefeated in sports-11 B. get honor roll-7 Juniors Juniors Juniors Juniors Juniors Juniors Juniors Juniors Juniors Juniors Everyone knows what a junior is; a pushy underclassman who thinks he is a senior a year or two ahead of his time. This year the name junior had a new meaning at S.H.S. This year’s juniors were unique. With plans for moving into the new Northern Lehigh High School each one left the high school in June knowing it was his last departure from the halls of S.H.S. Having departed from the older build ing, each junior will have the honor and memories from Slatington High School and also of being the first class to gra- duate from the new Northern Lehigh High School.

For the first few weeks of school a junior also wishes he would soon be departing from the school for the final time.” The junior soon learns it is inevitable, one can't be a senior without first being a junior, so he adapts to life as a junior and begins to plot his future. Juniors realize it is time to decide if a college education is what they desire. Many choose college while others get mar ried and settle down, while others go straight ahead into the world of work. It is in your junior year you begin making jour- neys to the guidance office and start planning for life after the long awaited senior year. Homeroom 25: Front Row; Susan Fritzinger.

The historical fireman statue, which stood on Main Street, was damaged in a hit and run accident. Because the statue meant so much to the community, every- one donated their time and money to help restore it. After many fund drives, a huge parade commemo- rated the event of replacing the old fireman statue. Although the damaged statue could be re- placed, nothing could be done for the delapidated Smith Hall. A final decision was made concerning the building; it will be tom down and replaced by homes for the elderly. The home of our Bulldog Basket- ball players, the site of our Winter- guard competitions, and the loca- tion of our wrestling meets will always remain in our memories, long after it is gone. To deal with our changing and growing com- munity, a new senior high school has been built. The old junior high will become obsolete, and the old senior high will become the new middle school. A new football sta- dium, hockey field, and baseball diamond accompany the new school. And finally, the most dev- astating change our town has seen was the drought. Crops suffered, fires became more prevalent, and many townspeople had to make personal sacrifices. The situation also caused many problems in our school. First of all, showers, which had been a mandatory re- quirement for gym class, were eliminated. Although this didn’t discourage all the students, it did show the seriousness of the situa- tion. Secondly, the number of wa- ter fountains turned on was de- creased. Finally, two of the six bathrooms were locked, cutting down on the amount of water used daily. To ease the problem in town, cars were washed only at car washes, garden sprinkler sys- tems were not used, and it was decided to install water meters. Throughout our nation, we saw changes during 1980-81 that both confused and frightened us. When Ronald Reagan was inaugurated as our 40th President, it was hoped that he could improve the economic condition of our coun- try. Before Ronald Reagan could carry out his plans, he was shot, along with three other men, as they left a building in Washington, D.C. Every citizen held his breath waiting to hear news of his condi- tion. Just as our nation was reco- vering from the shock of John Lennon’s murder outside his own home, the controversy of gun con- trol became an important issue again. While he was in Vatican City, Rome, Pope John Paul II was shot, again reminding the public that no one is entirely safe from a gun in the wrong person’s hands. Although our country was suf- fering from many internal prob- lems, the release of our hostages from Iran sparked an enormous renewal of American spirit. Flags and yellow ribbons symbolized the new faith and hope we had for our country. Our citizens proved that they would be ready to stand be- hind their country whenever she needed them. SPORTS o A winning streak of twenty-five straight dual meets, thirty-four Centen- nial League dual meets, four straight Centennial League championships, four straight Centennial League league meet victories, what could the cross country team find more satisfying? We want to be District champs”, exclaimed Captain Tony Noakes, and so it was! That is the utmost of success , stated Coach Rissmiller. The guys were determined, hard working, they never quit, but most- ly we had fun! Slatington High School had not had a team district title in any sport since 1954 until this remarkable team captured such honors. Why this team succeeded in this challenge when many others had failed? The closeness of the first five runners was the key , pointed out Coach Rissmiller. The crack-five consisted of Seniors Tony Noakes, Matt Noll, and Greg Her- zog, as well as Juniors Blaine and Brian Waylen. Mike Hofman and Freshman Todd Evans added important places as the sixth and seventh men. Next year, the team will have ten returning letter- men while losing nine to graduation. The streak could go on for at least two or three years if the kids continue to work hard , explained the coach, so the future looks bright. 1. Tony Noakes rides high after the District championship. 2. Matt Noll impresses his fans during the Palmerton meet. 3. Coach Riss tallies the team's results. 4. Blaine Waylen senses a team victory at districts. 5. The Bulldogs are sandwiched at the starting line. 6. Brian Waylen puts on a final surge. 7. Our most consistant fan. 8.

Although it was a long three miles, the girls cross country team made it a fun and exciting three miles. To get ready for their meets, the girls started warm ups by following three of their favorite mottos: It’s fun to run; Do it for the Goat, and “Aren’t you glad? Cindy Schrader, one of the five enthusiastic junior runners on the young team, led the Bull- dogettes in both scoring and spirit. Tracy Mill- ward and Glynis Miller, usually the deciding fac- tors in the meet, fought it out for fifth and sixth places. Surprisingly, freshman Dena Hof- mann gave the whole team great competition. Despite the fact that the girls only won two meets during the entire season, both against Notre Dame, they all possessed pride and deter- mination.

After losing game after game, most teams would have given up their spirit and lost their confidence, but not the devoted girls of the Slatington Field Hockey team. Trying to gain a victory, they put forth a serious effort through- out each and every game. The girls tri- umphed over Pleasant Valley and Jim Thorpe and only after overtime ad- mitted defeat to Lehington and Palmer- ton. Throughout their tough season, the unceasing spirit of the team was headed by Coach Debbie Moyer and Captain Tracy Wehr. Next year’s team hopes to improve the record of the past few years but wants to keep alive the spirit that this year’s team had.

In 1980 our football team recorded the fourth best win-loss record in the history of our school. The senior class, although small in number but big in talent, contributed greatly to that suc- cess. As a result of our summer camp, our team became a close-knit group all motivated by the same goal of the Cen- tennial League Championship. Al- though we fell nine points short of that goal, our season was a definite success. With a preliminary sign up of fourty-five Juniors and Seniors for next year’s team, our chances of attaining the championship are again good. Sorely missed will be our seniors, but an out- standing group of returning juniors will give a good run for the title. For the Bulldogs a new stadium will give new life and spirit in developing the neces- sary Bulldog Pride. Top Row: Coach Kush. Jim Kern. Craig Scheffler. Dave Wanamaker, Jim Mansfield.

Coach Rissmiller and his men were hoping for a league championship and possibly a district title as well. An early season injury to starting center Joe Dick hurt the team physically but not spiritually. The Bulldogs ended in a three way tie for the first half championship after losing to Pal merton in the last game of the first half. Again at Northwestern, fate took its toll, and the Bulldogs lost to Palmerton in a playoff game. The team was at its lowest point of the season, so Coach Riss- miller used psychology to spark his men. He benched starters Jim Bechtel and Smokey Hun- sicker to straighten out the confusion of the team. The move worked, and when the starters came back, the Bulldogs caught fire, winning their next ten games and capturing the second half title. The scoring combination of the Waylen twins and the addition of Craig Scheffler and Derrick Fatzinger to the starting five proved unbeatable. The nearly sold-out playoff game between the Bulldogs and Palmerton at Whitehall was hard fought, but the Bulldogs proved victorious. Disappointment can best describe the district playoffs as the Bulldogs made it to the semi finals before losing to Tama- qua.

A winning season was gained this year by the SHS girls basketball team. Achieving records of eight wins and eight losses in league play and five wins and two losses in non-league play earned the team a berth in the District XI Play- offs. Highlights of the season were gaining re- venge against Wilson, East Stroudsburg, and Le- highton in the second half, beating Pen Argyl who were the Colonial League Champions, rout- ing Notre Dame twice, and entering playoff ac- tion. Although the 12th seeded Bulldogettes were set back by the 5th seeded Blue Mountain Eagles in the first round, the game proved a valuable experience for four out of the five start- ers who will be back in action next year. Each member was proud to have played on this team, but more important, they know that they were winners.

The team managed an impressive 10-6 record, the best since the early 70’s. With a new breed of freshmen wrestlers on the scene, a bright future is apparent. These freshmen along with the returning letter- men blended into a finely knit family of predestined champions. With new coach Robert Kern as the father figure of the family, team spirit was generated like the electricity of a 12 volt battery. The combination of team spirit and dedi- cation made this a pinning season for the wrestlers.

As the Slatington High School Era approached its ending, the Slatington Girls’ Softball Team decid- ed to close it with the second best record ever for SHS girls' softball, earning themselves a record of eight wins and eight losses. Battling unsuccessfully through the first half of the season, the girls only won two games while losing six; however, in the second half, they gained revenge against four teams giving them six wins and only two losses. They came back in the second half to defeat Notre Dame, Northwestern, Pocono Mountain, and Stroudsburg, losing only to the league champion team, Lehighton, and runner-up, East Stroudsburg. Behind the batting of Paula Noakes, Jane Rex, Tina Wechsler, Roxy Knappenberger, and Cathi Evans, the team had a batting average of .354. At the end of the season. Coach Brian Schell, who headed the Bulldog attack, stated that, This year could be the start of something big” for his softball team. Miss- ing a playoff spot by only one position, the girls were somewhat disappointed, but they know that bigger and better things will happen in their future softball seasons.

Bulldog Under the direction of Coaches Frank Carazo and Erwin Prutzman. the 1981 varsity baseball team's record cannot be marked as successful, but it can be said that the team was bright at spots. The Bulldog infield was quite impressive, as well as being relative ly young, adding hope for next year's team. The pitching staff of the team was not as strong as need- ed. but the return of several pitchers including Nick Horvath adds more hope for next season. As Coach Carazo pointed out. one very impressive part of the team was the offensive attack. The team batting aver- age was quite high, as several members hit over the .300 mark and a few even climbed above .400. The team always had the potential to score runs and win ballgames, but the lack of strong pitching and defen sive skills hindered a winning season. A successful record next year will mean bringing the offensive attack and defensive dependability together as one unit. m J.V. Baseball. Front row: Troy Seiler, David Bauer. Bernie Bechtel.

Although inexperience and injuries were their biggest hurdles, de- termination and desire were not. Being a newcomer in the field events, Angela Scarselletti completed a successful sea- son in the long and triple jump; there- fore, she received the award for the field Chris and Sheryl experience a grueling pace. events.

Bulldog Trackmen Corning back after a rebuilding year in 1980, the track team headed by Coach Marv Miller wanted desperately to recapture the league title it had lost after two consecutive championships in 1978 and 1979. Although the team had strength in it’s dis- tance runners and a new look sprint team, positions had to be filled in the jumping and weight events in order to be a major contender in a well balanced league. A big advantage this year as compared to last was that the team had it’s own home track, one of the finest in the area. The season began at home as the Bulldogs lost to a powerful Catasauqua team. Following that initial loss, the team won the remainder of the season’s dual meets, bringing the Centennial championship back to Slatington. The team didn’t stop there as it won the Centennial League Meet title as well. In the District Meet, the Bulldog 400 meter relay team captured first, and the 1600 meter relay team grabbed a second place, advancing them both to the State Meet in Shippensburg. Next year’s team will have lost twelve seniors as well as Marv Miller who will retire as head coach; however, the team is still young and should be a strong contender. Bring Back Title 1.

The 1981 All Sports Banquet was held June 3. 1981 at the Gourmet Inn. and it was the last affair honoring Slatington High School athletes due to the name change of the new school. During the '80-'81 school year, the Bulldogs had three Cen- tennial League championship teams, as well as a District XI title. Although the affair was mainly to honor the athletes, a few tokens of appreciation were given to other individuals. Retiring track coach Marvin Miller was presented with a plaque by members of the boys track team and gifts from the girls track team in appreciation of his dedica- tion as head track coach. Also, athletic director Richard Smith was presented a plaque on behalf of all the coaches for a job well done. The high light of the evening was the presentation of the outstanding boy's and girl's athlete awards given to Blaine Waylen and Paula Noakes respectively. Tracy Wehr displays her field hockey award. Emcee Mr. Richard Snell welcomed all those pre- sent. The 1980 Bulldog varsity football team kicked off the season with an impressive 8-3 record, third best in the history of the school. From the winning touchdown pass in the final seconds at Catasauqua to the big victory against rival Palmerton, the games were filled with exciting moments. Bulldog back, Dale Beck had a memorable senior year as he reached the coveted 3,000 career yards rushing mark against Notre Dame. Slatington sports fans wish Dale the best of luck in his college football years and hope for his continued success. Awwright! A District Championship! At last, after years of finishing second, third, fourth, or worse, the Bulldog cross country team captured it's first district title by topping yearly odds-on favorite Blue Mountain in the district meet. As the team received news of it’s championship, the drama of amazement, jubilation, and relief filled the air as arms were raised in triumph and cheers filled the air. Perhaps this year's team has started a tradition of continuing district championships while it has kept the string of Centennial League victories and League Meet titles alive. Although this was the Bulldog’s first team district title since 1954, the potential for many more remains, but only time will tell. Outstanding Feats A young and exciting girl's basketball team captured the eyes of many Slatington sports fans as it showed enough spirit to win an impressive number of games and enter the district playoffs. Although they were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs, there is a good reason to believe that the girls will be back next year to be a major contender. Another interesting note is that a freshman, Cathi Evans, was given the girl’s basketball award at this year’s All Sports Banquet, a first in the school’s history. The wrestling team posted an impressive 10-7 record this year, the best in the school’s history. Leading the young squad was Jim Milot, the overall team leader in victories and a district and State participant. Sophomore Jim is also rapidly approach- ing the school’s all-time victory mark. The Bulldog basketball team reached new heights this year, becoming the first team in the Centennial League to win two league championships. Individual honors went to Blaine and Brian Waylen who were Most Valuable Players in the league as well as All Centennial League first team choices. Brian also received Honorable Mention for the All State team. Craig Scheffler and Jim Bechtel were All Centennial League Honor able Mention picks. Jim also set a new school assist record, collecting 200 assists during the season. This year’s baseball team had several notable points, one being a strong offense. The team had a batting average around .300, and a few players hit above the .400 mark, one being senior Jim Bechtel. Jim received the baseball award and was unanimously named as shortstop to the All Centennial League team. Brian Pritchard and Todd Fisher were honorably mentioned at sec- ond and third base respectively. The girl’s softball team posted one of the best records in the school’s history, winning games into the double digits. The young team was led by Paula Noakes and Jane Rex who were given the softball awards. After a slow start, the team suddenly caught fire, winning many of it’s later games and adding several winning streaks. With the addition of a new home field in sight, the spirit of the team and fans should continue into the future. The boy’s track team soared to new heights, winning it's third Centennial League title and becoming the team with the most such titles. Winning many tough battles by close scores, the team proved to be the strongest in a nearly equal league. The team also won the Centennial League Meet run on it’s own home track. The 400 meter relay team was a first place winner in the District XI meet, and the 1600 meter relay team captured second place. In S.H.S. Sports The outstanding athletes as announced at this year's All Sports Banquet were Blaine Waylen and Paula Noakes. Blaine received the cross country and track awards, and he was named the Out- standing Male Athlete for the second consecutive year. Paula received the softball award and the Outstanding Female Athlete award. After twenty years at the helm of the track team. Marvin Miller stepped down from the head coach- ing job this year. Slatington track fans have seen many accomplishments during his coaching ca- reer. including several dual meet titles, two wins each in the Catasauqua and Emery relays, and two Centennial League Meet victories. After an- other successful year in 1981. Marv Miller indeed goes out a winner This sports season was the last for a great facility. Slatington’s own Smith Hall. Built in 1935, Smith Hall was pronounced one of the area's top sports facilities, where events ranging from basketball to roller derby took place. Finally, after being the home for yet another championship team, the years of excitement are over for the now empty structure. Smith Hall will be torn down to be re placed by housing for the elderly. Although the years of cheers and jeers are over, the memories of the structure will remain with us all. A new feature was added to this sports season, a brand new. all weather, metric track became the home of the Bulldog track teams. The track is not made of cinders like the old one. but rather it is covered with an all weather surface with perma nently painted lines. The track was recognized as one of the finest in the area as it was the site of the Centennial League Meet as well as the District XI meet. Sports Candids 1.

If the caption is true, the high school will be missing a truly great leader next year. While trying to help teenagers reach their full potential, this leader has been the queen of sleep- less nights, the flaw of many report cards, and the object of students’ anger; but, more importantly, she has been a friend while coaching debate, advising Slate, or directing theatrical productions, while tutor- ing a student one on one, or while sharing her irre- pressible energy with her many classes. For this, we, the class of 1981, salute our friend and educator, Mrs. Edith Roeder. r i Catherine Grega. English Anita Williams, Foreign Language Richard Jones.

Congratulations And Good Luck To The Class Of 1981 To the Reader: The year of the departure of the class of 1981 has been recreat- ed in this book of Reflections by an inexperienced but enthusiastic yearbook staff. The staff has tried to capture events and people that have been important to the entire student-faculty body, par- ticularly the graduating class. I hope we have set some standards and traditions for future yearbook creators. I also hope that this book is truly a book of memories for you and ask that you appreciate the time and energy that went into its creation. The class of 1981 has departed, but the memories it has left, will remain a part of Slatington High School’s history forever. Thank you for your support in this effort to hold on to some great memories. Colleen DeLong Editor Best Wishes. The Reflections Staff extends a note of thanks to Mr. Frank Trettel for all his years of service in the Industrial Arts Department. We regret his absence during our last year at SHS. Best wishes on your retirement Mr. Trettel.
