Sunbury High School - Torch Yearbook (Sunbury, PA)

Text from Pages 1 - 104 of the 1956 volume:

Published Annually by the Senior Class Sunbury High School Sunbury, Pennsylvania Volume XXXVII It is with humble appreciation and deep affection that we dedicate the nineteen fifty-six Torch to a man who has served faithfully not only his teaching profession, but Sunbury High School and the community. He has meant much to our class, for through his sympathetic under- standing and unbiased judgment he has helped produce a class of which every senior may be proud. He has led the F. F. A. successfully in all of their work and has in- creased their understanding in the field of agriculture. Through his kind-hearted interest in the Key Club he has helped it grow and improve in size and recognition. His high ideals and his belief in the worth of an individual have made him beloved and respected by the Sunbury Kiwanians, whom he served as president. It is with pride and a sincere thank you that we dedicate the 1956 Torch to MR. ROBERT DRICK. Page Four In the three short years spent in Sunburv High School, we have learned to love and cherish everything that makes up an Alma Mater. Next year the Class of 1956 will be only a shadow—an image of our past. This Torch is designed to lighten those shadows with a new brill- iance by making our memories more vivid and meaningful. Throughout our high school years, we have struggled with the same difficulties, laughed at the same jokes, studied from the same books and cheered the same team; and through this nucleus of interest we have become an organ—a Sunbury High School Senior Class. We have tried in our pictures and words to capture the elusive spirit of high school life so that every student will have it for all time. The Editor. Pane Five CONTENTS. Alma Mater Hail!

This question has often been asked and many answers ventured. One of the important reasons for education is economic necessity—which means better living standards. This, I think, is a very practical answer. Surveys have been made in a most abundant manner, and in every instance the reports show that wherever there is a good school system or where the incidence of education is high—so too is the social-eco- nomic status of the community high. Education makes better consumers and producers of those necessities so important to modern living. When a person is educated he knows what consumer buying is and purchases the better merchandise. He learns that a bargain in any- thing can prove to be a very expensive item and that is the reason why we should look for the best products obtainable. We spend about nine billion dollars per year on education, an outlay that is and should be constantly growing. Many services are being added because of change and the demands of our citizenry. People are finding out that an education pays. Whatever the status of your education may be, the remuneration that you receive will be in direct proportion to the amount of education that you have. Therefore, the biggest business that you can get into is that of developing your life. We have been told that large concepts, deep insights, and big purposes will improve any- body’s position in life. Most situations in which we find our- selves are primarily reflections of our own being. Your future will be determined by the skill with which you set about improving yourself and conditions. I wish much future success to the class of 1956. J. FRED JONES B. S., M. E. Pennsylvania State University Supo'intendent of Sunbury Area Schools Page Ten Principal's Message FREDERICK PADGETT A. B., M.A. Heidelberg College Bucknell University Principal Education is the hope for world peace. The American youth of today have a challenge in the opportunity to serve their nation. It is your privilege and obligation to develop into a THINKING generation, and thus insure the bless- ings of peace to humanity. Let me urge you, as students, to be a part of the worthwhile things happening around you. Seize the opportunities being offered. Take advantage of today—each of these greatest of all days—while a new world, of which you are a part, is being born. P. KEPNER JARRETT B. S.. iM. A.

Our growth and success have varied; yet there is a similarity in our individuality—we are Seniors. The year was very busy, but one always to be remembered. Most of the student leadership was in our hands, and through the guidance of our class officers and adviser we worked very diligently throughout the year. Our class proved just too much for the familiar Old Main. She knew we were leaving and “simply went to pieces.” Although we missed her old class rooms very much, we enjoyed being together as one school rather than two as we have always been in the past. We are deeply grateful to the P. T. A. for their assistance in making our senior year, The Best. We thank Mr. Robert Drick, our class adviser, for his untiring efforts, excellent counseling, and warm friendship. His co-operation was an added incentive in helping the class achieve its goals. It is not without longing that we look back at the memories acquired in the years of happiness and progress attained in our Alma Mater. These memories are everlasting. For those who follow we leave this thought: The time to work is now. The way to success is to forget yesterday, keep busy today, and expect great things tomorrow.

Junior Class Now that we are juniors, we realize that we are rapidly approaching the time when the senior leadership will be in our hands. What we did as juniors, working together for our class and school will be remembered each time we buy a hot dog at a football game .... overhear a conversation about the wonderful time everyone had at a class party . . . see couples going to a dance . . . hear the rustle of gowns, strains of romantic music and gay laughter which can only mean one thing to every junior and senior. For our success we owe a great deal of thanks to our capable class adviser, Mr. George Amerman, and the class officers who helped us reach our goal through co-operation, teamwork, and friendship. As seniors we will try to carry out the responsibilities of keeping high the standards and honor of our school and to prove ourselves worthy of becoming graduates of Sunbury High School.

Sophomore Class We sophomores first entered the portals of the lofty New High School building on September 6, 1955. Although we were familiar with the out- side of the building, the rooms and corridors inside were a source of con- fusion to us the first days. Now that we have become acquainted with the faculty, curriculum, other students, and the network of routes to and from classes, we are ready to seek out our goals in education. Here new doors in education are being opened to us. We have oppor- tunities for more advanced studies in familiar subjects such as biology or algebra, and also entirely new subjects like Spanish and German. We are being prepared to go on to higher education in America’s colleges and universities, or to go out into the world and find our place in it. From extra-curricular activities we hope to learn new skills and how to have a good time with others. Our social life will be enriched by meet- ing and making many new friends. We hope to profit by our years at senior high educationally and socially and to find that they will leave us richer in bright memories and prepare us for the years ahead.

This year in football pep rallies the song, “Rock Around the Clock,” played by the band, became a fav- orite among the whole student body. Its syncopated rhythm added an enthusiastic spirit. Football games gave the band a chance to show off their hard-earned knowledge from “early band.” The members performed many novelty pageants, including “I have been honored in having been chosen to represent our high school at this home-coming game.” Paac Fifty a skeleton whose bones fell apart and an “Old Grey Mare” with moving legs. Since one game was on Vet- erans’ Day, the drill, with caissons, anchors, and air- planes, was dedicated to the Armed Forces. In addition to these intricate drills, the band took part in the first Homecoming Ceremony on November 5 when the band’s student director, Russell Wilhour, .escorted Pam Fox, who was selected Homecoming Queen, to the podium where she welcomed all alumni to the game. After football season the members devoted most of their time to prepare for the two annual concerts in which a variety of music, from overtures to “rock and roll,” was played. Barbara Kesty, Barbara Musser, Jan Shipman, Carol Pope, Carol Riegel, Mary Jo Fausey, and Barbara Has- singer were chosen to represent Sunbury at the North- eastern District Band Festival in Canton on June 12, 13 and 14. An unusual dance step was created to the tune of “Tiger Rag” which the band executed when participat- ing in parades. All these fine achievements are the result of the un- tiring and willing efforts of Mr. Charles Coleman, the hard-working but genial director. Page Fifty-one The Night Owls The fifteen members of the Girls’ Dance Band meet every Monday night with the leader, Mr. Charles Coleman, to practice the old and new songs of their repertoire. This well-balanced unit is composed of three alto saxes, two tenor saxes, one baritone sax, three trumpets, three trom- bones, piano, drums, and a string bass. The organization was formed in December 1954, and is constantly improving. Playing for high school dances, providing entertainment at banquets, and performing at school assemblies are some examples of the band’s activities. All the girls co-operate and w'ork diligently but receive much satis- faction from doing it. Front—left to right—V. Hatran. H. Gearhart, P. Beta. J. Long P. Miller, N. Williams, B.JCratjr.

Key Club -4 S ►- To Create a Better School Gradually, as schools develop it becomes evident that some clubs are stronger and more active than others. These clubs tend to lead. So it is with Sunbury High School Key Club. Since its beginning nineteen years ago it has developed and expanded to become one of the school’s most outstanding organizations. Its many activities include Career Day Conferences, ushering at school activities, parking cars during the city’s Christmas rush, assisting charitable drives and an- nouncing at basketball games. The weekly meetings are conducted under the leadership of President, John Hauk; Vice-President, Robert Walborn; Secretary, Samuel Haupt; Treasurer, David Campbell. The club membership is composed of forty- five sophomores, juniors and seniors. Sponsored by the Kiwanis Club, the boys under the counselship of Mr. Robert Drick and Mr. Paul Keefer, are given a great opportunity to develop in service and lead- ership. Those who take action make shad- ows come alive. Adviser aids with important decisions. Left to right — R. Walborn, S. Haupt, J. Hauk, D. Campbell, P. Carpenter. Fellowship reigns.

Library Club - S } - Bookworms The Library Club aids in the library by arranging books, preparing books and magazines for circulation, checking books in and out, designing displays, taking attendance, and keeping the library neat. Each member must work in the library twenty-four hours of the school year. This is accomplished by having the girls work during one of their study periods each week. At the regular monthly meetings, they plan activities—bake sales, initiation of new. members, record dances, and the farewell party. Seated—R. Hall, President. Standing—left to right—M. Walters, N.

Volume XI, the present edition, was written and published through the combined efforts of the co-Editors-in-chief, Barbara Musser and Nancy Hackett; Associate Editor, Carol Riegel; Business Manager, Dale Jenkins; News Editor, Marianne Weaver; Feature Editor, Susan Broscious; Sports Editor, Jane Reichenbach; and their staff members. The Times originated in 1921, and was published as a monthly paper until 1942, when the war shortage of paper made publication impossible. In 1945 publication was resumed. Originally the paper covered both Jun- ior and Senior High School news, but at the present time it is a Senior High School paper. The idea of approaching the Sunbury Merchants for advertising space was inaugurated by this business staff, making it possible for several of the nine issues to contain six pages each. Although working for the paper must be done in the student’s spare time, this year the staff was larger than ever, giving a complete coverage of all school activities. Front—left to right—B.

The club is composed of one hundred and thirty sopranos, altos, tenors and basses, and is under the direction of Miss Katherine Reed. T o annual performances are tne con- cert before the student body ancl choir at Baccalaureate Services. A group of the mos talented yoicfs in the Glee Club, the “Choristers,” meets Wednesday evenings to practice additional, more difficult songs than those undertaken by the Glee Club. Outstanding members are selected an- nually to represent S. H. S. at district and state chorus. The choristers and band combined jus! before Christmas vacation to present a Holiday Concert for the school.

Student Directress—Pat Ressler. Susan (Marilyn Zimmerman) is resigned to the fact that she must leave college because of a lack of funds, when her mother, Abigail Fortitude Abbott, (Sandra Reichenbach) learns of an old scholarship started in 1907 by another Abigail Fortitude. This scholar- ship provides for a four-year education for anyone named Abigail Fortitude, provided she gets all A’s in her main subject, zoology. Susan is horrified when her mother decides to accept the scholarship in order to keep Susan in college, as are Susan’s best friends Sylvia (Lynn Volinsky), Bunny (Sally Kole- tar), Carrie (Betsy Eby), and Clara (Sallie Snyder). Their respective boyfriends Jack (Edward Frymoyer), Howie (Ronald Kase), Bill (Ray Barron), and Bobo Jackson, Susan’s steady, (Pete Gabriel) think it’s pretty nice, especially since Abby is such a young-looking mother. The Dean of th.e college (Dale Kline) is frankly skeptical of the plan and suspects a publicity stunt. He warns her that the slight- est infraction of the rules will expel her from the college. Matters are further complicated when Pro- fessor Michaels, (Dale Jenkins), the zoology teacher, begins to take an interest in Abby, much to the dismay of Susan, who imagines that the Professor loves her, and to the de- light of Bobo. Dean Gillingham, encouraged by Mrs. Miller, the House Mother of Abby’s dormitory, (Judy Schor) sees in the romance his chance to expel Abby, and does so. Matters come to a boil on the eve of the big- gest dance of the year. An out-and-out free- for-all ends with the Dean reinstating Abby, Bobo and Susan going happily off to the big dance together, and the Professor and Abby settling down for a long talk.

We have observed your physical, mental, and moral development through this period with a great deal of interest. Nobody knows better than you the contribu- tions that competitive athletics, in this instance football, has given to that growth. Each one of you is a better man for having participated in the most demanding of all sports. During this period of time you have exulted in the joy of winning and suffered in the bitterness of defeat. Aside from the winning and losing of a game you have learned the true meaning of cooperation and sacrifice. The experiences yon have acquired on the playing field are not available in the classroom or in your textbooks, but the contribution they made to the shaping of your future is of extreme importance. Cherish the good and forget the bad. Utilize to its full extent that which you have learned as an athlete and a scholar. I wish you a fend farewell not only as football players but as friends and companions as well. It is my sincere wish that those behind you maintain the same high standards which you as a group have so ably set. JAMES F. HINDS.

Scoring twice for Norry was fullback Feirick with 12- and 3-yard runs. Quarterback Mertz scored on a sneak. Feirick plunged for two extra points. A fumble recovered by Yagel in the end zone, a 70 yard run by Heim, and a pass from Case to Hummel featured the scoring for Sun- bury. SUNBURY—0 WILLIAMSPORT—40 September 16, 1955—Home Using their own fire-power and S. H. S. fumbles to the limit, the Millionaires of Williamsport walloped the out- classed and out-played Owls 40-0, before 4,000 fans in the arc-lighted Sunbury High Stadium. With its hard-running backs and getting plenty of blocking from their hard-charging line, the Cherry and White scored twice in the first and final quarters and added one in each of the second and third quarters. The Owls made their most effective showing, offensively, mid-way through the final period with an aerial attack that moved the sticks to the Williamsport 22, but an in- terception halted the TD march. SUNBURY—6 BERWICK—28 September 23, 1955—Home The Bulldogs, earning one T. D. and being handed three more, polished off an injury-riddled Sunbury eleven in a steady downpour to win the first Keystone Conference victory of the season. Berwick drove steadily for their first score. In the second quarter, they intercepted a pass and blocked a punt which enabled them to lead at halftime, 21-0. In the second half, Berwick again blocked a punt, and scored. Sunbury’s T. D. came on a 44-yd. scamper by a sophomore, Reichley, replacing Q. B. Case, who, along with halfback, Pope, was recuperating. SUNBURY—0 POTTSVILLE—21 October 1, 1955—Away Although losing their third game in a row, the Owls showed their most consistent offensive game since the Norry tilt. With the aid of two Sunbury fumbles, and a poor Sun- bury pass defense, the Crimson netted 21 points and the game. The Owls were hampered by the loss of Yagel, because of an injured back and the conservative use of Pope, who was recuperating from a knee injury. Getting to Pottsville territory was easy for the Owls, but getting the ball over was a different story. S. H. S. lacked a consistent punch inside the Crimson 20 but threatened in every quarter. SUNBURY—12 COAL TOWNSHIP—48 October 7, 1955—Away Sparked by Rumberger’s 78-yard kick off return, the Purple Demons administered the fourth straight defeat for the Owls. With CoaPs reserves playing a major part of the game, Twp. ran up a 42 to 0 lead before the Owls scored. Sunbury’s scoring came with pitch-outs to Pope and Strouse in the second half. Summaries SUNBURY—28 HAZLETON—0 October 21, 1955—Away With Co-captains Strouse and Yagel showing the way, the Owls broke their four-game losing streak at the ex- pense of the Mountaineers by a 28 to 0 score. Capitalizing on five intercepted passes, the Owls scored in the second, third, and fourth quarters. Strouse led the scoring with two touchdowns and two extra points. Yagel, Hummel, and Reichenbach, account- ed for the other fourteen points with seven, six and one point respectively. SUNBURY—13 MILTON—0 October 28, 1955—Away Gaining sweet revenge for a ’54 upset, Sunbury clipped Milton 13-0. With an all-around team effort, the Owls used 2nd and 4th period tallies to make it two victories in a row. Pope, playing his first complete game since suffering a knee injury in the Billport tussle, scored on a seven- yard sweep and on an almost identical maneuver added the extra point. Climaxing a fourth period 74-yard march, Strouse plung- ed over from the two yard line to complete the scoring for the night. SUNBURY—0 SHAMOKIN—18 November 5, 1955—Home Shamokin High’s smooth-working Greyhounds, exploit- ing a running game to the limit, whipped the Owls 18-0, before a fairly large Homecoming Day crowd. After muffing an opportunity to score in the first quar- ter, Sunbury did not threaten again until late in the fourth period, but was thwarted on th.e Shamokin 12, when a touchdown was called back because of an off sides penalty. It was an unusual Sunbury-Shamokin game in that it was the first time that the two teams have met on a dry field in almost fifteen years. SUNBURY—6 MT. CARMEL—46 November 11, 1955—Away Hitting paydirt in every period, a big Mt. Carmel eleven lived up to their nickname, “Tornadoes,” by crushing a game, but out-manned bunch of Owls, 46-6. Playing on a mud and water-laden field, Sunbury saw seven injured players removed before the game ended. Four backs shared scoring laurels for the Tornadoes, with Wetzel and Kautter scoring three and two T. D.’s respectively. Ample running room was provided by a big and fired-up Mt. Carmel line. A 38-yd. scamper by Pope, early in the 3rd period, saved Sunbury from a shut-out. SUNBURY—6 LEWISTOWN—8 November 19, 1955—Home After playing superior ball for three periods on a snow- covered field, Sunbury lost out to Lewistown as the Pan- thers tallied eight points in the last four minutes to gain the verdict. The Owls scored early in the third quarter after a 41- yard drive in eight plays. Umholtz’ recovery of a Pan- ther fumble set up the touchdown with Zellers going over from the three. Lewistown scored on a safety, took the ensuing kick- off, and 9 plays later Ranck scored from the Sunbury 2- yard line. With this game, the Owls concluded a less than medi- ocre season statistically, with three wins, and seven losses. It was also the last game for 18 seniors.

Wrestling Coach’s Message Coach EDWARD ZALINSKI Because of its scientific nature, wrestling has finally achieved a per- manent place in the world of sports. The prerequisites of a good wrest- ler are no longer dependent upon brawn and muscle, but upon an in- dividual’s ability to utilize, in a scien- tific manner, what nature has endow- ed upon him. Balance, speed, leverage, and the ability to think are the basic essen- tials that are needed to develop into a good wrestler. Since nature has furnished man with these qualities, all boys, regardless of size, are poten- tial wrestlers. Through this sport, an individual is given the opportunity to improve both his body and mind, thus en- abling him to take his place in the community as a future leader.

Sunbury Citizens-Alumni Sports Booster Club Promotion of more spectator interest in all Sunbury High School sports activities lies in the hands of a group of citizens called the Booster Club. Throughout the year the members sponsor campaigns and various other interest-raising events. A few of the highly commendable jobs done this year were the in- auguration of the Homecoming Day ceremonies and Sports Week. The members are to be congratulated on their unselfish interests for the betterment of Sunbury sports. Page Eighty-five Lengthening Shadows When the illustrious, ne’er-to- be-forgotten class of ’56 re- turned for its senior year, all classes were held in one building for the first time in over twenty years. Dear Old Main had collapsed at last. We could no longer take those lovely jaunts across the junk- yard when classes changed. Although schedules were topsy turvv, and confusion reigned, the actions of the students had not changed. Bill Inns was still the hero of the Traffic Light Drag, and Jere Dummer’s remarks were just as sharp. Sally Snyder still thought chemistry class was thrilling.

Colorful holiday streamers of red and green produced a per- fect setting for the annual Yuletide dance. In the semi-darkness of the gym, couples danced to the rhythmic music of Chet’s Quartet. Along with the heavenly waltzes and lively jitter bugging, novelty dances were held and prizes were awarded to the lucky winners. Everyone in attendance, students and alum- ni alike, agreed that the Key Club-sponsored dance was a complete success. The Sophomore Class-sponsored Valentine Dance was musically enlightened by the re- markable repertoire of Chet’s Quartet. Red and white hearts decorating the gym symbol- ized the romantic theme of the evening. As 11:30 drew near, tired couples drifted from the floor, and Cupid’s day of glory came to a close. These gala events will be lasting memor- ies in our school life. The Queen, Sandra Reichenbach, and the King, George Lendh, dancing after being crowned. Once again we go back in our dreams to the Junior-Senior Prom, truly the most outstanding social event of our high school days. Entering under a huge white arbor, beautifully decorated with many gaily colored Hawaiian flowers and flanked by lush green grass, we found ourselves on a romantic Hawaiian island. While there we danced to the mellow music of Gabe Garland’s orches- tra, seated against a background of a huge ship anchored off the isle. This picture was painted by talented members of the class of 1956. Leaving the isle behind, we sped on to the American Legion Ballroom where we were greeted by our hosts, the Sunbury Jaycees. The Jaycees produced a very entertaining floor show in the ballroom, which was gaily decorated with huge grape-like bunches of blue balloons. The orchestra played many fine selections while we danced. During intermission, Miss Janet McLin, a senior, was crowned as the Sunbury representative to the State Laurel Festival. In the early morning we were served a snack prepared by our hosts, thus ending a wonderful evening. Page Ninety-two - •!

In the general cleanup of the building, a small black book was found in a corner of the Band Room. There are several theories as to how it got there, the most probable being that the secretary of the class of '56 accidentally dropped it on a visit to her old Alma Mater several years after graduation. The book was found by a few alumni who settled in Sunbury and offered to help sort material accumulated in the school through a period of several generations. Dear Diary, May 2, 1963 Today I started my first real vacation. I’m on my way to New York City via the turnpike, from where I am going to travel across the United States to California in my car. I stopped this morning for a coffee break at a Howard Johnson’s Restaurant and did I get the surprise of my life! The manager was an old classmate of mine, James Lewis. W’hile I was there, several servicemen came in—Bill Inns, Larry Hogan, Dan Strouse, Ed Wise and Tom Propst. I stopped overnight at the Miserable Motel, one of a long chain owned by Ed Neff on the National Turnpike. Albert Hoffman, manager, took me on a tour of the expanding building. He showed me a swimming pool being constructed by Bob Yagel, master contractor, and his assistants, Boyd Reichenbach and Russell Zellers. Naturally there was color television in each room, and I watched Jane and Joan Notestine, who are famous for their “Home Cooking Show.” Later I saw Letha Gilbert substituting for Imogene Coca on that hilarious show “It Pays to be Funny, and I’m Getting Paid.” May 3 Arrived in New York City this morning and was off immediately to see the sights. I went first to the New York Stock Exchange and watched Dale Jenkins foist off 2,000 shares of highly speculative stock at a tremendous profit. Next stop was the Last Chance Hospital, where I visited with some friends who are now nurses: Lugene Tracy, Jane Zimmerman, Carol Cornelius, Mary Walter, and Maribeth Kreisher. I noticed that Frances Heffner had recently been promoted to floor supervisor. I also talked to Sandra Brouse, an X-ray technician. Seeing Polly Hagan and Barbara Hassinger in the laboratory, I said hello but did not stay. From there a look at 5th Avenue, the fashions, and a stop at the luxurious fashion studio, “The Shape,” owned by Fae Stroh and Rose Sanderson. I was told that Diane Beck had been in charge of the interior decoration for the shop. May 4 I had the best of guides for several fashion shows today because Sally Murphy, Sallie Snyder and Pat Spotts are now prominent in that field. I did not need to be introduced to some of the models—Mary Fisher, Ann Isenberg. Adair Ivy, Mary Jane McNinch, and Shirley Stover—since they also went to school with me. At Radio City this evening I heard Carol Gass sing “The Dance of St. Vitus,” accompanied by Barbara Kesty. Robert Beaver and I met accidentally at 50th and Broadway after the show, and I learned that he is now a commercial advertising artist for Brainy Breakfast P’oods. May 6 Crossing Delaware Bay yesterday morning by means of the Shivering Bridge, and it did, I recalled that it was constructed by an eminent engineer, Phillip Swalm. I thought I would swing south on my trip and take a look at Southern hospitality. Oh, yes! Along the highway I have seen quite a few colorful billboards adver- tising “the Slinky-8, the snazziest car on the road,” that were drawn by Kenneth Bailey and Gerald George. May 7 1 stopped at Oak Ridge, Tennessee, today and chatted with noted atomic scien- tists, Ernest Rhamstine, Jere Dummer and Michael Hanna, now working on atomic- powered mouse traps. A new housing development, designed by Sam Haupt, leading architect, was built lately on the outskirts of Oak Ridge. Fore-seeing the age of atomic warfare, Fage Ninetu-four Sam constructed them in such a manner that the houses cling- closely to the ground. Many apartments are entirely beneath the earth’s surface. I met some contented housewives, Mary Lou Aurand, Betty Berry, Linda Bright, and Kay Wallace, whom I had known in high school. May 9 I am now in Detroit, land of the automobile. I accepted an invitation by David Porter, outstanding automotive engineer, to take a visit to General Motors. What a trip! I had lunch with Dave at the company cafeteria, where I met Anna Wiand, Colvita Nogle, Janet Whitmer, and Sandra Reichenbach, members of the secretarial staff. May 10 Since the engine in my car knocked noticeably the last few hundred miles of my trip, I left it to be checked at Fox’s Fixit Shop, owned by Leroy Fox. The able me- chanics who work for Leroy—Robert Cook, Larry Naugle, Gifford Osman, and Richard Weir—are sure to do a good repair job. I decided to fly to Los Angeles. My plane leaves late tomorrow afternoon. May 11 I had a very pleasant plane trip; talked over high school days with Faith Davenport, a hostess for TWA. Our pilot -was Bruce Propst. I was quite tired from my trip, so I bought a paper and headed for my hotel. I spent a relaxing evening reading Barbara Brown’s column, “Dear Clovita.” May 12 I was up bright and early this morning so T could visit a few friends and talk over the probable results of tomorrow’s football game, between the Los Angeles Rams and the Green Bay Packers. The Rams, under the direction of Terry Case and aided by the remarkable ability of Dorrance Rowe, Marty Pope, Richard Rohrbach, Mike Moll, and Ernie Rogers, have dominated professional football. It ought to be quite a game. I have arranged to sit with Dr. Mark Gass and another old friend, Carol Pope, who is teaching at the California Institute of Technology. Dr. Gass’s secretary-assist- ant, Barbara Musser, secured wonderful seats for us at the fifty-yard line. Looking up Janice Shipman and Nancy Williams, I found them in the midst of ending the school term at the University of Southern California. Janice is teaching nuclear physics, while Nancy is professor of mathematics. May 13 This morning I rented a car and drove to Imperial Valley, California, to chat with Ralph Schraft and Paul Bartholomew who have adjoining farms. They told me that Dale Shoch is involved in the new car business and has become very successful. In the afternoon, during the game, I ran into John Hauk, who is a leading mor- tician in Los Angeles. He happened to mention that I knew his secretaries—Helen Herrold and Donna Derk—and of course I did. The Rams won the game, with Marty Pope scoring the touchdowns. At the city library I borrowed a Los Angeles paper, the “Daily Grind,” to read the write-up of the game, and there I met Nancy Hackett, who is one of the many librarians. I noticed that Ronald Bloom is the sports photographer and Donald Conrad, the business manager of the Los Angeles periodical. May 14 I have heard a great deal about the housing and employment improvements made by Sandra Lewis and Mary Jo Fausey, social workers in the Los Angeles slums. It is good news and I hope it continues. I ran into Dave Heinly, and in the course of our conversation I learned he is Navy bound. May 15 Dear Diary, I am taking a plane to Detroit tonight to pick up my car. Sally Fulginiti at American Airlines reserved a ticket for me on the 10:15 plane. I’ve had a wonderful vacation and have seen many old school friends. Sure glad I could see them after seven years; I’m only sorry that I didn’t have time to look up more of them. I would have liked to see them all. Perhaps I might be able to contact Russell Wilhour, prominent Kalamazoo dentist, through his secretary, Jean Duff, and arrange to have a class reunion soon. I can think of nothing I would enjoy more than to see all the other S. H. S. graduates of 1956.
