Text from Pages 1 - 60 of the 1953 volume:

CS oe a L igeis For their efforts in making The Highlander a reality, we, the staff, wish to express our gratitude to Miss Frances Patterson, whose direction in art work has certainly improved the general appearance of this book; to James Bell, who is responsible for the majority of the photographs appearing herein; and to Miss Roberta Cogley, ad- viser, without whom we couldn’t have gotten along. on ee 72) a “ 2 mo b BY Sento Mou ED yv ire Ev ze JovenAanism Cas EAD H Principal’s Message To the Graduating Class of 1953: In my final message to you I should like to talk about “honor”. What I really want to do is suggest a simple formula for a way of life which will be rewarding and satisfying. You have the honor of being the first graduating class of “Southern” High School. The memory of this is something which you will treasure for the remainder of your lives. It is right that you should do so. It is right because you played a leading role in helping set the standards and traditions which will forever be a part of your alma mater. Because of your cooperation it has been an honor for the members of the faculty to be associated with this school. Speaking personally, any honor which has come to me is in large measure a re- flection of your contributions to our common efforts. This sharing of honor is fundamental. The quickest way to achieve honor is to bestow it. Honor implies standing up for what is right. What is “right” ?—What part does a sense of unchangeable values play? Does it include consideration for the feelings of others? Is there always a right answer or do circumstances make a difference? What do we do when friendship is involved? What part should our desire for popularity play? What should we do when the roads to popularity and gaining the respect of thinking people are in conflict?—You must find satisfactory answers to these and other questions in order to achieve the highest types of nonor. The path to honor makes life worth living as an individual. It gives us a sense of direction and a feeling of security. It is essential to happy family life. It guides us in our daily dealings with others. In brief, honor is the key which opens the doors to all that is fine in this world. Finally, when you face a difficulty, and you shall face many, ask your- self “What is the honorable way for me to act?”. I should like to engrave this question on each of your minds. For honorable action is the gateway to true happiness. Most sincerely yours, Maurice A. Dunkle Principal PREFACE We, the seniors of 1953, in the pub- lishing o f this yearbook, sincerely hope to have provided a means of reflecting highlights of the year to pleasant memories. As these memories are re- ‘alled may we remember and be proud of the fact that they happened in the beginning year of Southern High School. With the hope that our publi- cation will be the first of a continually progressing series of annuals, we are justly proud to present the first Southern High School yearbook—THE HIGHLANDER. KENNETH RECKART Class President is Be KE JOHN HANST Editor, The Highlander Class Leaders DAVID FULL Student Government President VICKI LUCAS Editor, The Acorn Class History The class of 1953 entered Oakland High School in the fall of ’48 as a group of timid eighth graders. This group started things off by electing David Full, presi- dent; Eddie Hardesty, vice-president; Frances Cogley, secretary; and Lynn Adams, treasurer. The big event of the year was the eighth grade party which carried the theme “April Showers.” As a year passed by and the group became fresh- men, its members again chose David as class president. His helpers for the year were Ken Reckart, Gail Fike, and Dianne Sheehe. Moving to the sophomore class, the group elected as its president John Hanst. Assisting him during the year were Pat Cook, Eleanor Sharpless, and Pat Schmidt. This year saw the production of “Simon The Leper” by the speech class. As the group proudly became Juniors, John was again chosen to lead the class. Other officials were: Joyce Rowan, vice-president; Alice May Beachy, secre- tary; and Dianne Sheehe, treasurer. It was this year that the class made ites debut in entertainment by giv- ing the “Southern Plantation” prom for the Seniors. Reaching its final year, this now senior group began its activities in the new Southern High School. Officers were elected and they were: Kenny Reckart, president; Alice May Beachy, vice-president; Laura Rodeheaver, secretary; and Fronia Blamble, treasurer. In the early fall a class trip was made to College Park, Maryland, where the University campus was toured and a foot- ball game viewed. It was also during this last year that the journalism class published the first Southern High yearbook. As the Juniors gave for them the prom, ‘Stairway to the Stars’; the Seniors realized that their high school days were almost ended. The ex- change of pictures and name cards, the baccalaureate sermon, and the final adieus to high school life were but pleasant memories to them as they marched down the aisle to receive their diplomas and then to bravely face the future.

Seniors smiled on them condescendingly and teachers (remembering these people from the year be- {o.e) bemoaned audibly—‘‘the Juniors!” Having proved an asset to many athletic groups and other clubs, the Juniors staged the biggest social event of the year—the Prom— which they gave for the Seniors. The theme of this important affair was, fittingly, “Stairway to the Stars.’ Officers were: president, Jackie Browning; vice-president, Katherine Friend; secretary, Loretta Wolfe; and treasurer, Norma Campbell. As the sophomore group began its activities in Southern High, class officers were elected. They were Norman Reckart, president; Rebecca Shirley Shaffer, secre- tary; and Harold Lantz, treasurer. White, vice-president; The annual social function of the 10th grade this year was changed from a party to a picnic. This event was held at Swallow Falls on Thurs- day, June 4, from 10:00 a. m. until the end of the school day. The class sponsor of the group was Mr. Stevenson, 10OA homeroom instructor. Sophomores The Freshmen of Southern High began the 1952-53 school year by choosing as their class leaders Sammy Moore, president; Frank DeWitt, vice-president; Delores Vetter, secretary; and Bill San- ders, treasurer, Both the boys and the girls of the 9A homeroom won basketball championships during the Junior High intramurals. The Freshmen were also partici- pants in other sports, as eight of the group were members of South- ern’s varsity baseball team. The social highlight of the year was the ninth grade party, held May 7. “Moonlight Bay” was the theme. This event took place in the school cafeteria with decorations appropriate to the theme. The en- tertainment consisted of dancing, skits, and games. 8th Grade ooops q oS a : The eighth grade, the larg- | eee est class of the 1952-1953 school year, was led by Fred Teets, president; Betty Wil- son, vice-president; Barbara Glotfelty, secretary; and Ed- die Fry, treasurer. Many ‘members of this group participated in the Glee Club concert and the May pageant, “Our Ameri- can Heritage,” taking much part in the folk dances of the latter. The annual social event was a picnic held on the local ball diamond, on May 28. This affair got under way at 11:00 a. m. and was carried on throughout the remainder of the school day. The usual en games were played and re- freshments were served, a Grade | SR SRE AA 8 et tt MOS I Ry et i ln September 4, 1953, found a group of happy, thrilled, proud— but, oh, so scared—group of sey- enth graders entering the new school. Comments of, “I’m scared stiff”, “Where do I go?”, “Where’s my room?”, came through timid lips. The beautiful new building— so much larger than ones we had attended— strange faces—oh, so many, were enough to frighten us. Soon we found that the teachers and students were friendly, help- ful people. In fact, they were as “green” as we were. In October we selected Cynthia Nace, Carole Phil- — : lips, Brenda Davis and Artie Ash- . ee es ; by to lead us under the watchful eyes of Misses Burnetta Arnold, Geraldine Wright, Janice Hutchinson, and Messrs. H. R. Knotts, James DeMoss, and Robert Rodeheaver. The last of the year found us having’a “terrific” time on a picnic and looking forward to graduating as the first group to spend six years in Southern High.

At Martinsburg, Southern’s band = ac- quired a Division II rating among bands from all over the United States playing class B music. This qualified the band to go to Buffalo to the National Band Meet. Some of the band members attended the Band Clinic at Martinsburg.
