Yes, in a way, but we were seniors now, and somehow things seemed just a little different. We passed through the portals of the old school, down the same familiar halls, newly decorated, but breathing still the same atmosphere. News began to travel! New teachers, what would this school year hold for us? It wasn't long, and our academic ties with these new teachers were firmly cemented. We felt more at ease now. Our first break from general routine came on September 16, when, as is the yearly custom, Fair Day was observed. The gaiety of this one holiday was abruptly halted, however, as we suddenly realized that October 14, was drawing near and that meant our first marks of the school year. YVe survived this in excellent style, of course, breathing a sigh of relief. Events and activities came to light at this point. The Debate Club play was a great success and closely at its heels came our Hallowe'en dance, on October 25. Despite a very slim attendance and no orchestra, we rallied to the occasion, secured a juke box, and thoroughly enjoyed the whole affair. November 22, was our second dance, and to say the least it was a great success. Since the beginning of the term, we had been looking forward to November 26, the day our basketball team was to make its Hrst appearance. The boys surpassed our greatest expectations by turning in a glorious victory over a championship Alumni five. Pre-Christmas events were few, but one of them, the senior play, Drums of Death, presented on December 5, was exceptionally outstanding. December 21, saw all faces beaming, all hearts gay, and even the teachers a bit jovial as Christ- mas vacation came and found us almost half-way through our last year. Return- ing from our vacation, the problems of democracy class under Mr. Meckley's supervision, on january 7, journeyed to the Lehigh County Court House where we witnessed a very interesting trial and saw the many processes of law in action. February l3, initiated a new series of exchange concerts. The Allentown High School Band under the direction of Mr. Albertus Meyers visited us and presented a most enjoyable concert. In return, our Mixed Chorus journeyed to Allentown and presented a fine program there. Whitehall's chorus and our band also exchanged excellent concerts during February and March. A week of unexpected vacation came our way the last week of February as severe wind and snow snowbound our school. This we thoroughly enjoyed, but also realized was to be made up at the close of school in june. The basketball banquet and Kutztown Musical Festival finished activities for the month of March. Last of all the first section of the SOWHITER, culmination of seven months of hard work, went to press. May brought the class trip and a few memorable and glorious days at Pocono Manor. This was a much needed change as the year was beginning to tell on us and those exams were rolling around. Commencement saw the end of our school careers. Now, we leave our position to the juniors. Page Thirty-:ix 1947 genial: 61644 The sound of tom-toms. A far off scream. An arrow whizzes through the air. Another body falls. Don't be alarmed. We're still at South Mfhitehall High School, and upon investigation, we discover that this melange of madness and mystery is only the preparation for the senior play, DRUMS OF DEA TH. Mr. Bennick, our director, decided that a mystery play would be just the thing not only because this type of play generally appeals to a high school audience, but also because it would give ample opportunity for a variety of interesting characterizations by the members of the cast. After several try-outs, the cast was finally chosen, and then the hard work began. It all looks very easy to the audience which views the play on opening night, but to the actors, who have spent much time memorizing lines, taking direction, and a dozen other details, which go into the making of a play, it was not a picnic. As the final rehearsals grew near, nerves became tense. We soon realized that many weeks of work would be culminated in two brief hours on the stage. Our first real taste of theatre came the night of dress rehearsal, when we acted for seven hours without a break. It was decided that we should present the matinee the day on which we pre- sented the evening performance. That, it was hoped, would get us over the first night jittersf' The play was enthusiastically received by both audiences. To the boys and girls who participated in any way in the production of the play, Mr. Bennick stated, Seldom, if ever, have l found a group more coopera- tive and willing to work.

A lengthy sight-seeing tour has been planned and everyone concerned is anxiously awaiting the departure. About an hour later, on the train to Philadelphia, we find that our graduates have run across Willard Wetzel, who is returning to Mt. Airy Seminary in Philadelphia after a brief visit with his parents. VVillard suggests that when they tour the University of Pennsylvania, they visit Professor Howells, head of the science department, and Richard Koch, instructor in mathematics. As the group is entering the art museum two hours later, they meet Mary Ann Galucy, Iosephine Demko, Erma Mantz, Gertrude Schneck, and Roma Kleckner, who are in Philadelphia to attend the National Hairdressers Convention. The class spends an enjoy- able afternoon in the museum and marvels at some of the paintings done by the noted artists, Robert Foose and Irvin Fink. Next, the errant group departs from the railroad station for VVashington, where they meet Ralph Dorney and Annabelle Beck, honeymooning in our nation's capital. While inspecting the Senate Restaurant, they see Harriet Berger, Myrtle Geiger, Anna Marie Lichtenwalner, Dorothy Wuchter, and Elaine and Stella Laudenslager, just a few of the Congressmen's stenographers, out for a bite to eat. May llth-During a visit to the navy yard in Norfolk, the group has a chance meet- ing with Radioman Zfc Maurice Maurer and Chaplain William Ellsworth. Before departing from the naval base, the sight-seeing group is told that Alex Hegedus had just sailed for South Africa the previous day with a contingent of men to explore the wilds of Bechuanaland. That afternoon, the male half of the class goes to Grifhth Park to see the Washington Senators vs. Philadelphia Athletics baseball game. The fellows want to see the A's-new rookie, David Frankenfield, in action. The Senators' lineup includes some alumni of South Whitehall such as: Ioe Younger playing outfield, Iohn Balla playing shortstop, and the battery consisting of Walter Karpyn and Kenneth Kern. The same night the cortege finds itself on a three-deck steamer heading for New York City. Entertainment is being supplied by Dick Parry's orchestra and its very popular vocalist Paul Bastian. Also appearing is Elaine Nagle, featured dancer from Leonard Fasick's Top Hatter's Club. Busy behind the bar are Ioe Sutjak and Davey Deibert. Running them stiff competition is Stirling Frantz, milk salesman and paper peddler supreme. Before long Charles Best appears and buys an early edition of the New York Herald-Tribune. Also aboard, on their way to the concert Leona Kuder is to give at Carnegie Hall, is a group of housewives - Marion Haines, Helen Kochenash, Ann Krause, Marilyn Kuhns, Ruth Schneck, and Helen Kokolus. Among the celebrities to be seen are Harvey Algard, noted electrical engineer, Charles Kistler, contender for the world's light- weight title, Donald Iones, the Tobacco King, and Shirley Snyder, fashionable interior decorator . Next, hearing barber-shopi' music, our travelers find George Fink and Dollard Guth, soap salesmen, leading a chorus composed of Norwood Kern, Ernest Remaley, Robert Masiko, and Andrew Rushatz, all of whom are going to the farm show. Wishing to let others know of this meeting, our group tries to call Allentown but finds the phone out-of-order. After it is repaired by Stanley Heil and Dale Schneck and the call has gone through, the news that Doris Graver has just been elected to the South Whitehall faculty brightens the gathering even more. May 12th. The New York City skyline forms a breath-taking picture as the steamer sails into New York Harbor past the Statue of Liberty. After the group rcorganizes on shore, they visit Coney Island where they see a group of ofhce workers, Grace Bollinger, Irene German, Lorraine German, Lona Smith, Grace Strohl, and Leola Schleicher, who have taken the day off from their stuffy offices for a little relaxation. The heat is too much for one of the students and she is taken to a nearby doctor's office where she is cared for by two capable nurses, Betty Haas and Marilyn Everett. During a short visit to City College of New York in the afternoon, the graduates spend a few moments with Ruth Wagner, Ruth Tait, Betty Oswald, and Ioanne Greenawald who are well on their way to receiving their doctor's degrees. By the time the train leaves the station for Allentown, the weary group is only too glad to leave for home and some rest. Thus does another class start on life's road. Page Thirty-eight 194 7 MAN 7 'far fl! 1 f.-fi, 7 U y x Siucfeni eauncil Realizing the need for more and better student participation in every quarter of academic activity, our administration and faculty, in keeping with the trend of most up-to-date high schools, introduced this year for the first time a system of student government. Our new governing body, the Student Council, has defined its duties as upholding the best traditions of American scholarship and the censor- ing, with an eye toward guidance, all forms of social and scholastic life here at school. The principles of the organization are set forth in a well-written constitution, which, in keeping with a true spirit of democ- racy, was submitted to the entire student body and the faculty for criti- cism before ratification. Authority is clearly and equally assigned under the council's system of division of responsibility. VVell-organized committees, functioning as subsidiaries to the ofhcers, co-ordinate all fields of endeavor within the scope of their jurisdiction. A note of appreciation and congratulation must be extended for the guidance given to the organization by its faculty advisers, Mrs. Joyce Ridings, Mr. Wfilliam Swallow, and Mr. Austin Schaeffer, who have found time to do this work over and above the duties of their class work. lVe salute the organizers of this worthy cause. For South VVhitehall, this has been another giant stride forward. - OFFICERS President .............. .......... . . .Norwood Kern Vice-President ........... . . .Paul Kapushoc Secretary and Treasurer .................. ...........

Kane! Our band was organized this year with only sixteen members who had previously played instruments. An intensive program for building a large band was undertaken in the fall by the director, Mr. Hans Uber- seder. Instrumental classes, in which talented students were given lessons during school hours, were initiated. Students of these classes immediately became members of the band, and within a few weeks the membership of the South YVhitehall band reached its present membership of fifty-two. Through the regularly scheduled rehearsals and instrumental classes, plus hard work and individual practice, the band has already reached remarkable prohciency.

Our orchestra this year has been in the initial stage ol' development. Beginning instrumentalists have been added to the nucleus of the right combination of catgut, wood, and brass. This season a string ensemble, composed ol violins, cello, and bass viol, which played light classics and popular current favorites was an attraction. Full orchestra rehearsals pointed all up-bows toward a special Christmas program, the operetta, and the spring concert, which were the orchestras main appearances. This organization, we believe, is on the road to achievement and will add more and more of a happy tune to South X'Vhitehall school life.

Bearing in mind the motto of the Class of '47, One step at a time but always forward , our Alma Mater authorized this year the founding of a new extra-curricular group, the Majorettes. Although all were inexperienced, the members of this organization amazed everyone when they appeared on the stage in an auditorium program all their own, and displayed an unbelievable amount of grace and poise as well as a repertoire of colorful routines. When this group was authorized, it lacked not only experience but also a coach and uniforms. Recognizing their plight, Mr. Uberseder, stepping in and seizing the reins, organized regular drill sessions and discussed plans for the acquisition of uniforms. When March rolled around, as the picture above indicates, our majorettes not only had developed into a very efficient organization but also had acquired as snappy a set of uniforms as has been seen. To add to their glory, may we comment that they made the uniforms themselves.

Woody Kern led the attack with 22 markers for the Trojans, while Dalton Schaadt hung up 15 points for the Alumni. The team looked good. and everyone viewed the pros- pects of again capturing the Twin-County Crown. After playing four additional independent games. of which two were won and two were lost, the Tro- jans opened league competition with a victory over Bangor. It wasn't long, though, before the Trojans were dropped from the unbeaten ranks by a strappy Namreth High School aggregation, which gained a close decision in a game which the Trojans played without the services of Kern. He was on the , inactive list for three weeks because of a sprained ankle received in a practice scrimmage the night preyious to the Nazareth game. With the return of johnny Balla to the line-up, X the Trojans came back strongly with a decisive victory over Coplay. only to drop another decision to Hellertown three days later. Taking a rest from league competition, the Tro- jails battled the Green and Gold of Central Catholic in a game which saw the Trojans' I5-9 edge in the first quarter fade to a deadlock at 22 all by intermission, and further diminish to a final 65--I8 count. The Trojans then rebounded with an easy victory over Pen Argyl, only to have Wilson Boro step in and hand the Trojans their third league defeat. The first half was completed with Trojan victories over Fountain Hill and East Stroudsburg. Starting the second half on February fourth. the Trojans cashed in on three victories: Bangor, Nazareth, and Coplay. The latter was a one point victory for the Trojans. 45--ll, which Coplay protested because of a misunderstanding on the timers' part. In the replay, a rather roughly contested game, the Trojans emerged victorious, -T9-26. Meeting Hellertown for the second time in the season, the Panthers were successful in bottling up Kern. and by doing so conquered us by a score of -T6--ll. Balla and Muth were high scorers for the night with ll and 8 points respectively. The Trojans continued on their losing streak with two hectic defeats at the hands of Wilson Boro and Fountain Hill. The Fountain Hill game ended in a tie. -I2-42. In the extra period Kern sank a field goal and Balla scored one point. while Paine and Shannon each cashed in on a field goal to give the Hillers a one-point margin, -16--15. South XVhitehall snagged the last game of the second half from East Stroudsburg with a last quarter attack. Although the Pocono boys had led throughout the game, the Trojans opened up in the fourth period and swamped them in a scoring jam- boree that netted the Trojans 29 points to East Stroudsburg's I3 markers. Dick Krause, a j.V. starter. was our life saver as he came into the game in the last quarter and tallied l0 points toward the Trojans' 52-414 victory. Since our team lost three games in the second half. the Trojans placed fourth in the league standing. Twin County laurels passed us by this year, but our season was creditable, as was shown by the fact that Norwood Kern, for the second straight year, was placed on the league All Star team. while joe Younger and Bill Beck received honorable mentions. The departing seniors will present a replacement problem for Coach Henninger, but knowing his ability to instill spirit and sportsmanship into any group of boys, we anxiously await the l9-I7-48 season. 7947 Sawfullea I I t 1 l l x x l i i wma, eaaaaaz sczaaza l r , S.W.H.S.

It marks the first time in live years that baseball has been an active sport at our school. Great enthusiasm was shown among the students as there was a turnout of more than forty boys at the initial spring practice. The team will be guided by the able abilities of Mr. Stanley Schatz, who has joined the faculty this year in the capacity of physical educa- tion instructor. Although the team is inexperienced, there is evidence that some good material is available. The team has our wholehearted support and best wishes for a very successful season.

More than twenty boys, their enthusiasm undimmed by their lack of experience, turned out for spring drills in response to the call by Mr. William Reed, instructor in industrial arts. The schedule will be a short but a difficult one, and the inexper- ienced boys will be further handicapped by opening the season with the Penn Relays. Regardless of success, the school is behind the team l00?Z,. A start this year should be a short cut to success next year. Scfnecfule April 26 .. ............ .... P enn Relays May 14 . . . ....
