UNALIYI 1953 SCUDERTON HIGH SCHOOL Souderton, Pennsylvania j --I----,.,f,.? :fu i:Ol'CW0l'd Our voyage in life is beginning at a time when the winds are variable and the sea is rugged. Uncertainty faces each of us as we leave the se- curity and shelter of our homes and this, our Alma Mater. For four years we have been cruising together in protected waters, but we are now ready to embark on voyages of our own. The theme of our i953 Unaliyi seems especially real to us since many of our boys will soon be spending several years of their lives in the Armed Forces, some in the Navy, as did Mr. Boorse. Whether or not these will be wasted years will be up to each individual. We have tried to capture within these pages, the companionship, the laughter, the accomplishments, and the struggles of the past four years. All the facts and tigures we have learned here may not remain with us, but we will never forget the guidance and counsel provided by the faculty and administration in their efforts to make us better citizens of tomorrow. Shall we now launch our cruiser, the U. S. S. Unaliyi, with a cargo of happy memories of our four years together before we begin our longer and more serious iourney into the future? is wwf aw wa- ffm.. .f V 2 4 U f,,2,, 3, Qgiix- L : , A . fi? 8 A,A.

Dedication We, the graduating class of l953, are extremely proud to dedicate this issue of the Unaliyi to the U. S. Navy and to all the S. H. S. alumni and faculty who have served in this branch of the Armed Forces, and especially to Mr. William Boorse. Skipper Boorse will be remembered by us in many ways as we look back over our senior year: Football season '53-a season of history creating scores and excitement for all loyal S. H. S. rooters-with Mr. Boorse as our capable assistant coach. P. O. D. and Economics classes '53-interesting discussions, heated arguments, and those surprise Qui-:ky Quizzes that made us want to ship him back to sea. Senior Class Activities '53--the iolo of advisor to the senior class has many problems and difficulties, but Skipper Boorse handled these with much ease and in his own good-natured fashion. Not only once, but twice, Mr. Boorse served in the U. S. Navy, and now he's home with his wife and charming little daughter, Betty Ann, he's back at S. H. S. teaching, too, and we hope that he makes this his port for a long time to come. WILLIAM M. BOORSE MR. AND MRS. BOORSE AND BETTY ANN Navy Record -1942 to 1946 Boot Camp, Sampson, N.

To succeed requires work and everything we do adds to our experience. Ours is a country of free enterprise. The prudent, penniless beginner labors for wages for awhile, saves a surplus then buys tools or land and hires another beginner to help him. This is the iust, generous, and prosperous system which opens the way to all, gives hope to all, and consequently energy, progress, and improvement. lt provides you, Class of '53, countless opportunities to succeed. To use them and cherish them will help those who follow you to enioy the same privileges. lt has been your priceless heritage in our great democracy. Congratulations and best wishes to each of you for the future. Your school, community, and nation need your loyal support in the years to come. E M. CROUTHAMEL Supervising Principal ADMIRAL E. M.

LAYING THE KEEL As the keel is the foundation upon which a ship is built, so is the elemen- tary education of a child the founda- tion for his later learning. Unless the keel is built solidly and laid straight the ship will founder. So it is with the progress of the individual. Unless his knowledge of the fundamental pro- cesses is complete his high school work will suffer. We, of the Class of 1953, desire to pay tribute to those schools which laid a true, straight keel for our voyage through S. H. S. From stem to stern they laid the solid foundations that we might properly share in the building of a better Souderton High School.

PILOTS OF THE SHIP To capture not only the experiences of four years together but also the friend- ships and spirit of comraderie which made us the class of l953, and crowd these into the eighty-eight pages of one book seemed an impossible task when the Unaliyi staff first tackled it. Gradually, however, the fog lifted and they found themselves sailing toward this goal. Many times during the year these pilots hit rough waters and found them- selves caught in a dangerous eddy, but always someone grabbed the helm in time and soon the craft was sailing gaily along once more. All the members of the crew worked diligently, but now that the anchor is lowered and the cruise ended, they realize that much of the credit belongs to three faculty members who advised them skillfully. First, to Miss Weinert who spent countless hours working with the staff and molding the book into its present shape, then to Miss Gerhart who so efficiently took care of all the business worries, last, but not least, to Mr. Boorse, whose Navy lingo may be detected throughout this book, we owe our thanks.

CELLULOID GOBS Lights down, strike the arc, check your sound, are familiar words used by the fellows in the Audic- Visual Club on the day of a big feature, but the show- ing of these movies, although it is the main function of the club, is iust one of its many activities. During the last two years, thanks to a larger and better equipped club, these fellows under the expert super- vision of Mr. Miller have done more toward Audio- Visual education and Audio-Visual entertainment in our school than anyone prior to this time. With the acquisition of two Ampro Stylists and many film catalogs, classroom movies have been stepped up to a place where films can be obtained and shown on almost any subiect. This is a great help to both teachers and students in regular class work. Each year also brings to the Audio-Visual Club's film files new films which are donated by local business firms interested in furthering education. An increasing number of newsreels have been sent to 52 our school and shown through the courtesy of the Philadelphia Inquirer. Again, too, because of the fine cooperation of the student body in the magazine drive, we were privileged to see eight top-flight feature films. The school's Audio-Visual aids program doesn't stop when the movies end, but continues into such activities as the announcing of football and basket- ball games and the lighting for dances, plays, basket- ball half-time shows, and lyceum numbers. The members in the club number twenty-three but over half of these are in the lower grades which means many experienced operators in years to come. Donovan Kinsey, Ralph Moyer, and David Dorn are the only seniors, and they, because of their expe- rience, have taken over the more diFFicult activities. Mr. Miller and the Audio-Visual Club have done a bang-up iob this year. Left to right: E. Claire, .l Dean, N. Trumbore, N Hendricks, K. Gotwals, A J. Small, M. Rosenberger D. Alderfer, .l. Rappold E.

The corps of lovely lassies which has served so faithfully throughout the year was again chosen by a faculty committee headed by Mr. Gazdick. On the left: L. Nyce, L. Kelso, M. .l. Ziegler, P. Shade. On the right: T. Drabnis, 5. Shearer, D. Alderfer. 15 Sherry Shearer and Doris Alderfer served as co- captains over the attractive mermaids who proved to be sight enough to turn any wondering sailor's head. Many a mate envies Mr. Gazdick for his seemingly pleasant iob of instructing the girls and keeping them ready for action at all times. Hats off to him and the girls for such efficient service. .49 'Q Keller, S. Fenstermacher, , I SHlP'S SECRETARY MA N'ENANCE CREW 54 OUR NAVY BAN D As the boatswain's w'histle calls all sailors to atten- tion so the head maiorette's whistle called the S. H. S. Band to attention as, flanked by the maiorettes and color guard, they marched on the football field this season to help lead the team on to victory. The sev- enty-five members of the Band met daily with Mr. Foulke and worked diligently to present a Christmas program while at the same time they were improving their football routine, Again in basketball season they had to combine working on the Spring Concert with practicing the half-time shows for the basketball games. At these games, under the lighted baton of Mr. Foulke, they went through their precision performances which thrilled many spectators. The S. H. S. Band had thirteen members in the All Bux-Mont Band which is comprised of representatives from all the schools in the Bux-Mont League, and one member, Jean Ann Hunsberger, was chosen to represent Souderton in the Southeastern District Band Festival at Doylestown and the Eastern State Band Festival at Sayre, Pennsylvania. No assembly program would have been complete without the familiar band music greeting the students as they entered the auditorium, nor would the pep rallies have had as lively an air had the Band not been there to provide the music for the school songs. Without a doubt, Mr. Foulke has again produced a good band, and his work is fully appreciated. 55 THE LURE OF THE LORELEI S. H S fashions--i952-'53 style-long flowing ankle-length gowns with wide sleeves, bright red in color, with a small white collar. You guessed it! We're talking about the new chorus gowns which set the whole school agog iust before Christmas. Could it have been rumors of such glories to come or was it the more tangible attraction of the pretty, new music teacher which lured more than one hundred MISS AILENE NASE students to try-out for the chorus this fall? Unfor- tunately, limited seating space forced Miss Nase to cut the group to sixty-five. Even then they had to sit two to a seat. Excellent training plus diligent practice developed this group into one of the finest choruses S. H. S. has ever produced. Two of the highlights of the year were the annual Christmas program, pictured here, and the Spring Concert presented on April ll. Both of these programs were presented in coniunction with the band. One of their most effective numbers was the Halleluiah Chorus which they sang with great feel- ing and beauty. Besides these annual concerts and appearances on our assembly programs the chorus presented an exchange program with Hatfield High School. A satellite of the chorus known as the Treblelettes were an added attraction for the Hatfield program. An all-girl group, numbering approximately sixteen, the Treblelettes have become popular as entertainers for out-of-school functions since Miss Nase originated the group this year. The Senior Boys Quartet also had a very success- ful season. Not only were they in great demand on our own assembly programs but they were also invited to sing at a number of local dinners. Souderton High School was very proud that five members of the chorus-Richard Badman, Brooke Moyer, Harry Wood, Phyllis Kulp and Romaine Clemens-were selected to sing in the Southeastern District Chorus. The culmination of this year's success will come on June 4 when the chorus will sing for the Commence- ment Exercises. CHRISTMAS CANDLELIGHT SERVICE PROCESSIONAL ..........

Jealousy is running rampant as Andy knocks Dozer out cold. Selma, Mrs. Stevens, Julie, Mr. Stevens, Alec and Sam stare in amazement. Mr. Collins and Betty seem to be having a hard time wrapped in blankets, due to the misfortune of accidently falling in a birdbath.

CREW OF TH Football camp, snake dance, bonfire, pep rallies, 53-6 victory over Lansdale, record-breaking crowds -these were the highlights of an outstanding football season at S. H. S. in '52. Following the squad's return from West Nottingham Academy, Maryland, the season began with practice games. Pennsbury took the first setback as the locals won 6-O. Highly favored Salesanium was next in line for defeat when Souderton traveled to Wil- E MIGHTY MO mington, Delaware to upset the favorites by a 13-O score. After this pre-season success Souderton encoun- tered Hatboro in the initial game, only to suffer their first loss by a score of 20-6. S. H. S. retaliated in the following contest by annihilating Lansdale 53-6. In one of the year's most thrilling games Souderton succumbed to the fine play of Quakertown 20-18.

BAR NACLES While the Junior High eleven tailed to post any victories this seoson, the campaign, nevertheless, was o thrilling one in many respects. The opening game with Lansdale ended in a score- less tie-the only game in which the Junior Indians were not defeated. Opposition in the league proved too strong this year, consequently, Coach Moza's boys dropped five successive clashes to Quakertown, Central Bucks, Lansdale, Quakertown, and Sell- Perk. Although the scores were not too promising, the entire story cannot be told in any score, so with a little luck and some seasoned veterans next yeor, the Junior High squod will face the next season with a better outlook.

SEA NYMPHS Second place was the position held by the girls' basketball team this year as the lndians achieved an overall record of four victories, three losses, and one tie. Captained this season by Barbara Frederick, the team won the initial encounter with Lansdale, 43-32. Upper Moreland upset the Red and White, however, Souderton regained its winning form as Quakertown and Sell-Perk became victims of the Big Reel. Lansdale retaliated as the second half of the season began, winning over S. H. S. Upper Moreland then defeated the lndians again, to became the only team this season, which handed the locals two setbacks. Sell- Perk and Souderton played on even terms, a 30-30 Standing: M.

Although victory was not the maior ingredient of this year's basketball team, the season did have several pleasant outlooks, including the smashing defeat of Upper Moreland in the first half of the season and the thrilling victory over Quakertown in the final game. Coach Eisenhart's team dropped the opening en- counter with Hatboro, however, victory was in the air as Springfield was defeated. Sell-Perk succeeded in downing the Indians followed by a Souderton victory cver Ambler and the third setback of the season-this time Central Bucks doing the damage in over-time play. After victories over Lansdale and Upper Moreland, S. IH. S. lapsed into a long period of defeat as Quakertown, Hatboro, Springfield, Sell-Perk, Ambler and Central Bucks triumphed at the Indians' expense. The losing streak was snapped as Souderton won over Lansdale, but Upper More- land, seeking revenge for the earlier loss inflicted by the locals, handed the Big Red the final setback of the season. A clash with Quakertown to wind up the court activities found Souderton emerging as the victor and spoiling the Quakers' chances for the title. The season while unsuccessful from the standpoint of victories was one of the most thrilling Souderton has had-each game being close and generally won or lost in the final minutes of the encounter. The iunior varsity met with better luck this year as the win-loss columns were equal, each containing seven games. With the fine players of the iunior varsity and the returning lettermen, Coach Eisenhart is looking forward to a great season next year. Standing: G. Kramer, L. Opdyke, L. Landes, R. Clemmer, D.

CINDER SALTS Winter track meets, constant practice and a grow- ing interest in this sport is now bringing track into the limelight at Souderton. Having achieved much suc- cess in the pre-season meets held in Philadelphia, S. H. S. is now anxiously waiting to challenge the league opponents-Quakertown having already been beaten. A larger crew and more interested participants are representative of the lndian track team this year. Coach Patton is eagerly looking forward to the expected rise ot Souderton in track meets this season. The newcomers and returning lettermen, Bruce Fenstermacher, Tony Drabnis, and Brooke Moyer, are all hoping to set new records and boost Souder- ton's previous standing.

Determination, team- play, expert coaching, and several veterans all point to a favorable outcome for the '53 season. Ferrill Alderfer, Jim Bergey, Harlan Loux, and Bob Famous constitute the returning lettermen, however, many excellent first-year players will comprise the remainder of the team. Although, Coach Smoot has made no predictions as yet, like everyone else, he is anxiously awaiting another successful campaign. A 3-O score, as the Smoot-men overpowered Upper Moreland in the first league game, seems to indicate this will be accomplished. Directing-D. Smoot. First Row, Left to right: H. Metz, A. Godshall, F.

Two consecutive championships and five returning lettermen are by IPERS no means small factors which are contributing to this optimistic outlook. Although no actual clashes have yet taken place, the squad is shaping up into what will probably be another top S. H. S. team. The returning lettermen this year are pictured below: Edna Barndt, Merlie Hunsicker, Margie Koffel, Kathleen Kramer, and Joan Tyson. Under the expert guidance of these veterans and Coach White the softball team will undoubtedly compile another im- pressive record.

Under the direction of Miss Hoult they completed two very successful campaigns. The group's first undertaking was the Booster campaign. The Souderton High student body went all out for Boosters and the returns were the largest ever at S. H. S. The class handled the large infiux with few mishaps. ln the pictures on the right you can see the class in action. The second undertaking of the class was the Magazine Drive which presented different and more difficult problems for the class. They took things in stride and learned from their mistakes. Two hard working salesmen from the student body were awarded prizes. Doris Grubb received a trophy and watch, and Betty Miller won the mascot, a panda. Pictured below on the left are Doris and Betty on either side of the chairman of the drive, Francine Hess. When the tabulations were finally recorded the class found they had handled over 57,000 in the most successful Magazine Drive in S. H. S. history that again put Souderton in first place for local competition. The experience and self-confidence obtained from this work should prove beneficial to the students in their future years. 82 I nl f OPERATION PAINT BRUSH These beautiful Pennsylvania Dutch murals are now proudly adorning our cafeteria walls. Two boys, who unfortunately are not in the picture, deserve much of the credit for this project. Ray Landis, a iunior, designed the major portion of it. Linford Hallman spent countless hours patiently hov- ering over the designs with a paint brush in his steady hand. The other two members of this four-man crew, Donovan Kinsey and Russell Umstead, are pictured above.
