The 1959 Torch Printed and Engraved by The Grit Publishing Company Williamsport, Pennsylvania Formal Photography by Schindler’s Studio Sunbury, Pennsylvania The Senior Class SUNBURY AREA SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL Sunbury, Pennsylvania Volume XL Sunbury Area High School FOREWORD During the past three years we have witnessed the growth of a new school; but for the twelve years past, parents and teach- ers have been observing our progressive development. As the firm foundation was laid to support the edifice, so the bases of our lives were formed at home in our pre-school years. From the foundation rose the first bricks, the first studies; both seemingly leading to nowhere. However, pile drivers, teachers, and parents made themselves felt; and gradually school and studies began to take shape. Finally, the school and the student are ready to contribute to society. Before we venture forth, let us look over our fun and accomplishments, committed in the perimeter of our new school. 4 CONTENTS DEDICATION ADMINISTRATION CLASSES ACTIVITIES ATHLETICS FEATURES 5 Advising a very active chemistry club while here in the high school, Mr. Furman is pic- tured here with members of that club from the class of 1958. From left to right they are Skip Bloom, Joe Hahn, and Parren Gott- shall. We Dedicate the 1959 Torch to . . . ... a teacher, a friend, and an adviser. As a teacher, he has awakened the natural curiosity of many students by his lucid explanations and enthusiasm for his subject. When we were in the eighth grade, he initiated us into the myriad wonders of science. Many of us later had the privilege of being in his chemistry classes. To quote Bulwer-Lytton, he is a teacher who “suggests rather than dogmatizes, and inspires his listener with the wish to teach himself.” But he has been more than a teacher. We will always regard him as a friend who capably and conscientiously lead the 59’ers for four years in the capacity of class adviser. He is a man of the highest character, one whom we all admire and respect. His personal drive and keen sense of humor will be a guiding light for us in the uncertain years to come. In order to show our esteem and appreciation, we, the Class of 1959, dedicate our Torch to— Mr. G.

Romayne Killian Mildred Eyster Secretary Secretary The Sunbury school system, made up of the four school districts of Sunbury, Upper Augusta Township, Rockefeller Township, and the borough of Snydertown, is governed by a body known as the Sunbury Area Schools Committee. This committee conducts all busi- ness and settles all policy necessary for running the Sun- bury schools. It is to this group of citizens that the students owe so much appreciation for the new school. The third-class district of Sunbury has seven mem- bers—Rudolph Ries, Dr. R. W. Johnston, Donald Treon, William Betz, William Pope, Miss Helen Schaffer, and Dr. E. L. Bergstresser. Snydertown is represented by John D. Eister; Rockefeller Township by E. A. Kistler; and Upper Augusta Township by Joseph Ray, Jr. and Claude M. Knoebel. SUPERINTENDENT J. FRED JONES, B.S., M.A. Superintendent of Sunbury Area Schools Pennsylvania State University As superintendent of Sunbury area schools, Mr. Jones was commissioned by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania on the recommendation of the school board. Act- ing as a liaison between the board and the teachers, he carries out its policies, al- though he has no vote therein. Working with the board he arranges extension pro- grams, night school, and teacher work- shops. He and his staff advise the board in its selection of the proper personnel to teach, to supervise, and to keep its build- ings clean and safe according to health and fire laws. He heads the administrative board composed of the vocational, cafe- teria, elementary, and music supervisors, and the junior and senior high principals, which meets weekly to iron out the many difficulties which arise in the Sunbury schools. PRINCIPAL Along with the new school, Sunbury High has acquired a new principal, M. Eugene Hutchinson, formerly of Lewistown. Mr. Hutchinson has done a tremendous job in co-ordinating the new and old schools, the faculty, and the student body. Some of a principal’s duties, in order of their importance, are improving the staff and curriculum, maintaining order and discipline in co-operation with the faculty, building and improv- ing the extra-curricular program, self-improvement and growth on the job, public relations and community responsibility, mak- ing the schedule of classes, guidance and adjustment of pupils; desk work, supplies, and correspondence; and provision and upkeep of the buildings. Rhoda J. Passmore, A.B. Home and School Coordinator Pennsylvania State University Open house, sponsored by the 1’. T. A., drew a very good crowd of parents and teachers. Student Council members served as guides. Parent-Teachers’ Association This year the P. T. A. had for its pro- gram that of general guidance—inform- ing the parents on what was happening in the schools. The officers were: presi- dent, Mrs. Donald Bain; vice-president, Mrs. William Packer; secretary, Mrs. Hen- ry Mahaffey; and treasurer, Mrs. Fleming Houghton. Janet Emkson, A.B.

Susquehanna University American History, German Speech, . . . Foreign Languages In order to understand a subject more com- pletely or to express oneself more sufficiently concerning a subject, a substantial knowledge of the English language is essential. The result of this knowledge is the attainment of the com- municative skills — reading, writing, listening, and speaking. The English curriculum stresses vocabulary development, clarity and fluency in speaking, and logical arrangement of thoughts. Mastery of these skills will develop the ability to think constructively and to express oneself distinctively. The study of foreign languages is important not only because it serves as a means of com- munication between the different countries of the world, but also because it acquaints the student with historical and cultural aspects of the countries. The languages available to stu- dents are French, Spanish, German, and Latin. Success in any field often depends on one’s ability to speak well. Speech habits are formed early in childhood and are corrected and im- proved throughout the school years. The speech course is the culmination of earlier training. The objective of this course is to enable one to speak properly with poise and self-confidence. George B.

Dickinson College George Washington University World and Pennsylvania History, Problems of Democracy Carl Shively, B.S. Bloomsburg State Teachers College U. S., Pennsylvania and World History Emerson L. Derr A.B., M.A. Susquehanna University Bucknell University Problems of Democracy SOCIAL STUDIES DEPARTMENT “A knowledge of the past is a prepara- tion for the future” might well be the motto of the social studies department. The three year history course is divided in the following manner: During one semes- ter of the sophomore year an intensive study of the history of Pennsylvania is made, while the other semester is devoted to a study of ancient world history. A stu- dent may elect another year of world his- tory if he desires. In order to establish a background to understand the making of America, the entire junior year is spent in the study of American history. Problems of democracy, the senior course of study, includes subjects of importance to society, the machinery of government, and eco- nomic problems. The purpose of studying ancient history is to learn how the past generations con- tributed to the greatness of our country. The study of history and problems of democracy prepares each individual to meet with intelligence the problems of our everchanging political and economic na- tion. It develops patriotism and teaches love and respect for our country. Tlie guidance program in Sunbury Area Senior High School is carried out by two directors — Miss Martha Fisher and Mr. Frederick Padgett. Miss Fisher’s duties consist primarily of administering special education tests and evaluation of the re- sults. This being Mr. Padgett’s first year as a guidance counselor, he has assumed the duties of advising secondary students concerning the selection of appropriate colleges. He also makes arrangements for scholarship tests. Mr. John Kaiser, who is the vocational educational director, has overall charge of the entire vocational course in the high school. All problems of this curriculum of the school are handled through him. He is also responsible for scheduling adult education classes. Also in this department is the driver education course under the direction of Mr. Carl McEntire. At some time in a person’s life there is a desire or necessity to learn to drive a car. Thus this course is a forward step in education. A student is taught the mechanics of an automobile and the way to handle it correctly.

Albright College Algebra, Plane and Solid Geometry P. K. Jarrett, B.S., M.A. Susquehanna University Bueknell University Vocational Mathematics Trigonometry College Algebra Mr. Hatton, hands on hips, searches his mind for an answer to that one. MATHEMATICS DEPARTMENT With such emphasis as is placed on sci- ence these days, it is essential that the stu- dent understand one of its basic tools— mathematics. Mr. Hatton always stresses that one of the prime functions of math class is teaching the student to think for himself. Sunbury has such thought-pro- voking classes in algebra — first, second, and college; plane and solid geometry; and trigonometry. Algebra progresses from the fundamental operations through equations and graphs, verbal problems, factoring, variation, roots of numbers, exponents, and logarithms, un- til it reaches trigonometry. The step after algebra in the mathemati- cal education of the student is usually geometry. It is divided into two parts— plane, which deals with figures lying in the same plane; and solid, which deals with figures such as cubes, cylinders, and spheres, all of which do not have all their parts lying in the same plane. The course in plane trigonometry encom- passes trigonometric functions, identities, and equations; radian measure, functions of two angles, and the oblique triangle. If you hear some dazed-looking senior mum- bling such weird words as “cotangent of Theta equals one over tangent of Theta,” don’t get excited. Mr. Jarrett just likes those fundamental relations down pat. Terry Beaver seems a hit surprised as the camera catches Mr. Jarrett cor- Mr. Van Horn, who also teaches many vocational subjects, is recting Terry’s trig problem. Also in the picture are Fred Dunkelberger, pictured at the front of his algebra I class. Nicole Schenk, Micbael Heffner, and Mimi Willard. Mr. Drick carefully demonstrates the correct procedure for pouring chemicals. Robert W. Drick B.S., M.S. Pennsylvania State University Chemistry SCIENCE DEPARTMENT The purpose of teaching science is “to better understand the scientific age and the world in which we are now living, so as to more intelligently utilize the resources we have and thus realize the comforts endowed to man by the Creator. In order to fulfill this purpose, Sunbury High School offers biology, chemistry, and physics. In the biology classes, dissecting worms, preparing term papers, and compiling notebooks crammed full of diagrams and explanations are seg- ments of Mr. Keefer’s system of acquainting the sophomores with their surroundings. Offering a course in basic fundamentals, Chemistry I includes the in- struction of valence tables, equations, and families of elements. Chemistry II, a course in qualitative analysis offered in only a few high schools, was elected this year by an unusually large number of seniors. A completely revised physics course was taught here for the first time on a trial basis. This accelerated course consists of three major parts— textbooks, films, and laboratory work. 1 he stroboscope and micrometer were the first instruments which the students constructed for laboratory work.

Van Horn A.B..M.A. Susquehanna University Pennsylvania State University English, Mathematics, Science Charles M. Foulds Vocational Certificate Pennsylvania State University Vocational Auto Mechanics Vocational education gives students bas- ic training in the mechanical crafts and trades they plan to follow. They should combine this training with a liberal educa- tion— English, history, mathematics, and science. Therefore the vocational courses are organized on the basis of one-half shop work, and the other half classroom work. Earl W. Hill Vocational Certificate Pennsylvania State University Vocational Carpentry Shop Clarence R. Weaver, B.S. Bucknell University Vocational Drafting The vocational department consists of machine shop, auto mechanics, home eco- nomics, carpentry, drafting, and agricul- ture. This has been the first year that all of the vocational boys have been in the same area as the rest of the students. A good part of the new building consists of large, well-lighted, well-equipped shops. Part of the education of home economics girls consists in training them in the selec- Vocational agriculture helps the “born” farmers choose the branch of farming in which they are most likely to be successful, tion and preparation of food.

Susquehanna University Bucknell University Bookkeeping, Shorthand, Commercial Mathematics Eva Reichley, B.S. Bloomsburg State Teachers College Office Practice, Shorthand, Secretarial Studies, Typing, Bookkeeping COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT Ben H. Wirt, B.S. Susquehanna University Business Mathematics To meet the demands of the complex business world, interested students of Sunbury schools have the opportunity to pursue a commercial course. The course is divided into accounting and secretarial studies. This division does not occur until the junior year, as all commercial stu- dents are required to take the same subjects during their first year. Typing, shorthand, secretarial studies, and advanced general math comprise the secretarial course. This appeals to girls planning to start their careers immediately following graduation. Typing, bookkeeping, office practice, law and sales, and advanced general math are offered in the accounting course. During the senior year students in this field are able to gain work experience and part time training by working in the high school office during free periods. This is a practical way of learning the basic fundamentals of maintaining an office. The technique of operating various types of business machines is another phase of the course made available to the student. Patricia Rhodes and Judy Rown compare figures as Mr. Wirt unknowingly hovers above. Miss Reichley’s class has deserted the typewriter for the test paper. ART DEPARTMENT Thought and feeling reveal themselves through self-expres- sion. Sunbury High School offers as its answer to this need a very unique course in art. For the student truly interested in art, a course of three years may be taken. Although the first year of the course is usually devoted to the fundamentals of art, the student may show his creativeness in certain fields during this year, follow this field the next two years and eventually make it a lifetime career. Students have many chances to compare their work with students of other schools in county, state, or city contests. Sun- bury usually has the distinction of placing very high in these events. One of the major contests open to students last year was the designing of a poster to be used as an advertisement for the city of Sunbury. The winner of this event was Elizabeth Snyder, Class of 1958. Her poster is now seen by thousands of people entering Sunbury. Another phase of the art department is the Industrial Arts Shop where students learn to do commercial printing and work with materials such as wood, metals, and plastics. This may be important in helping one to make a wise vocational choice. Robert Shoener, B.S. Kutztown State Teachers College Art Fred J. Muhleman, B.S. California State Teachers College Industrial Arts Shop As Larry Ditty and Frank Bartholomew watch, Mr. Muhleman explains the operation of the printing press. Beverly Snyder and Mr. Shoener pause a moment in Art II class. Augusta S. Watkins, B.S. East Stroudsburg State Teachers College Health and Physical Education John M. Auten, B.S. Susquehanna University Health and Physical Education Margaret Reese, R.N. Geisinger Memorial Hospital School of Nursing School Nurse HEALTH AND PHYSICAL EDUCATION Mr. Auten explains the daily food chart to a senior health class. Health is “a state of physical, mental, and emotional well-being, and not merely absence of disease.” This is a very broad field and not just a consecutive series of “gym” classes. Physical exercise, in the form of competitive sports and calisthenics, develops healthy bodies and good sports- manship. The hygiene classes, which al- ternate bi-weekly with the gym classes, cover the basic essentials of good health, a study of the parts of the body, and the symptoms and prevention of diseases. In the final year the course widens into a study of character development, person- ality traits, proper living conditions, and mental attitudes. Miss Margaret Reese, the school nurse, is retiring this year after more than twenty years of carefully protecting the general health of the student body. John Bain can depend on Miss Reese to take care of his pains. Mrs. Watkins has her juniors right in step. MAINTENANCE DEPARTMENT Even with all the teachers and office personnel, the high school would be lost without the indispensable help of the cus- todians. They are the ones who come after the students, cleaning up all the carelessly thrown paper and the inevitable dust. Every evening the men thoroughly clean the classrooms, halls, and boys’ locker rooms. Mrs. Bostian takes care of the offices and the girls’ locker rooms. Many people, such as the typewriter re- pairman, come from outside to repair broken or stubborn machines. Apparent throughout the year were groups of men who were doing more than cleaning and repairing the buildings. These were the ones who were building the audi- torium, finishing and painting the cafeteria and hallways, laying tile, and landscaping. The custodians—John Macowski, Mrs. Emily Bostian, Ken- neth Schleig, head custodian; William Sandler, William Boyer. Cal Swank and Lloyd Clark are two of the many carpenters that were seen in the new building this year. The plumber, Russell Chili, checks one of the boilers. William Michael President Earl Hill Class Adviser Joe Herr Vice-President SENIOR CLASS In the month of September, 1958, vve stepped into Sunbury High School to complete our final year of secondary education. It seemed as though we were sophomores again because of the new building and the changed room numbers. We wore bewildered and perplexed expressions. However, we soon adapted to the new educational climate and be- came engrossed in school activities. We joined clubs, attended Torch meetings, and went to football and basketball games. We also found that we were submerged deeply in homework assignments, especially around Janu- ary. Unheedingly, we let the year pass swiftly by, climaxed by the Prom, Baccalaureate Service, and the Senior High School Commencement. Now, as we graduate, we look back upon our years in Sunbury High School as the most mem- orable in our life. Judy Bailey Secretary Llewain Van Doren Treasurer 26 CLASS OF 19 59 RONALD G.

STUDENT COUNCIL Although still in its infant stage as an organ- ization, the Student Council has rapidly gained prestige in both our school and state this year. This fact was exemplified by the election of Ann Duttinger as District Secretary of the East Cen- tral Pennsylvania Association of Student Coun- cils and by several projects originated by our council in which many other schools partici- pated. The major enterprise of the group this year was a scholarship program created by our own organization in which many councils of schools entering the Susquehanna Valley Science Fair participated. This project along with dress-up campaigns, poster contests, citizenship drives, and aid to local charities rounded out a full schedule for the representatives in the Student Councils most successful year.

It provides experience in working together by serving the home, the school, and the community. Many projects, sponsored by the club, are advised by Mr. Paul Keefer and Mr. Robert Drick. A parents' banquet, the main home pro- ject is to show appreciation to the parents for their cooperation. Under the school projects come the annual Career Conference, and a fac- ulty tea to express thanks for the cooperation and guidance of the teachers. Distributing food baskets to the needy at Christmas, posters for the T. B. society, and coin boxes for other wel- fare societies are a few of the many community projects. To raise money for various projects, the club sponsors paper drives, school dances, and an annual bake sale conducted from the P. P. L. This years organization pledged to the Y. M. C. A. building fund and made contributions to many welfare drives. The highlight of the year is the District Con- vention held every spring. First Row, Left to Right—J. Bain, E. Markunas, K.

Last year the paper, which was judged by the Pennsyl- vania School Press Association, earned 902 points from a possible total of 1000. The judges stated that the Times was a very attractive newspaper and, in addition to giving it a second prize in our division, presented a Keystone Award to Robert Hoffman for an outstanding article.

Editor-in-Chief Mary Pensyl and adviser Miss Katharine Fernsler have shaped the prod- ucts of their staff into some of the wittiest and most informative issues available to readers in many years. Timely news, humor, and a few spicy exposes were combined each month to provide subscribers with an afternoon of highly enjoyable material. During the ’58-’59 season the School Times has given its staff a valuable glimpse of news- paper work and has been a proving ground for those interested in journalism as a career. BETTY HOFFMAN, A.B., B.S. of L.S. Iiood College Syracuse University Librarian LIBRARY CLUB This industrious group of 31 members will go down in S. H. S. history as the library club without a library. Although handicapped in such a manner the members and Mrs. Betty Hoffman, the adviser, forever hoping they would move into the new library before the term expired, performed minor duties in the large closets located in room 193. These duties consisted of checking in magazines, cataloging new books, and repairing damaged ones. The members paid dues and sponsored successful monthly bake sales at the school and a spring rummage sale to provide funds for the members to visit area college libraries, an annual Christmas party, and awards for Ronald Boos, Sue Hackett, Pat Hetzendorf, Linda Kent, Shirley Klock, and Jane Passmore, sen- ior members.

Attractive in their blue and white uniforms, performing intricate drills, and giving delight to many an ear with harmonious melodies—that’s our band! The various melodies, which thrilled many an ear at football games and winter and spring concerts, also gave delight at exchange concerts, along parade routes, and topping them all, the concert at the Forum in Harrisburg, October 30. ‘‘Victory at Sea,” “Carnival of Venice,” “Relax,” and “Beguine Festival,” were some of the out- standing numbers given at that concert. Eye- catching drills performed during half-time at the football games were “The Abe Lincoln Story,” “The Tombstone Story,” and “Mexican Saga.” Thus the band, an organization since 1927 and under the direction of Mr. Charles Coleman since 1947, can be a thrilling experience to any- one. It isn’t easy! Early practices, late practices, individual practices for solos continue until per- fection is achieved. Drill! Drill! Drill! Mem- ories will linger. Mr. Coleman, a bundle of tire- less energy and endless ideas, will never be for- gotten. Unique experiences, excitement, close friendship, and the pride of belonging become the lot of every band member. | % Band members are seen refreshing themselves at the concession stand.

CHORUS Clear young voices, joined in melody; hum- ming, trilling, and telling stories in song. Surely, you recognize our chorus! Section practices and weekly rehearsals in- terwove with each other while preparing for the Christmas and the February Variety Concerts, featuring the sweet, golden voices of informal soloists. Singing for Commencement, the Bac- caluareate Service, and VIay Day proved to be thrilling and unforgettable experiences. “Once in Love with Amy,” “Red Wing,” and “This is Vly Country,” are a few of the songs which were favorites in chorus. During the second semester six talented voices were chosen by the director, Miss Katherine Reed, to represent the group in District Chorus. Group singing and informal parties through- out the term were enjoyed by everyone, while a picnic at the end of the year climaxed the so- cial functions. KATHERINE P. REED Mus.B.

The Sunbury chapter of the F. H. A. is under the supervision of Miss Evelyn M. Heiser and Mrs. Augusta Watkins. At the meetings held every oth- er Tuesday at noon, business and the activities of the club are discussed. Once a month a guest speaker gives a combined talk and demonstration on subjects such as gift wrapping, hair styling, and different types of cosmetics. An outstanding activity was a Halloween float with a “Cinderella” theme. Ann Brobst portrayed Cinderella, and Ann Duttinger portrayed the Fairy Godmother. Left to Right—Secretary E.

FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA Our future growers kept themselves busy with projects this year. Learning from Mr. Kent Kresge the more modern methods of farming and making various soil tests added to their knowledge which they applied in daily practice on their own farms. It is one of the few organizations which in- cludes Junior High School students. Expansion of their treasury in mind, the boys entered a float in the annual Sunbury Hallowe'en Parade, and were rewarded for their efforts by winning a prize of ten dollars. Sponsoring the first hayride of the year, selling Eastern State Seeds, and selling the Farm Journal Magazine were other projects conducted by the club. MR. K. KRESGE Adviser Vice-President W.

The club s main purpose is to guide each student interested in teaching toward suc- cess. This is accomplished by the advising of Mrs. Evelyn Picton and through speak- ers engaged in the field of teaching. Some of these speakers were Miss Grace Beck, elememtary supervisor; Mr. Clarence Neal, instructor in the junior high and Mr. George Nesline, instructor in the senior high. A panel composed of one instructor from each public school level was planned to discuss teaching in general. Bloomsburg State Teachers College, Bucknell University, and Susquehanna Uni- versity were the colleges visited by the seniors to further their interests. Observa- tion in classrooms, mainly elementary and junior high, was the last step toward con- ditioning the future teachers. To boost student moral during football season a successful Homecoming Event was staged this year. First Row, Left to Right—G. Kury, R. Downs, J. Balestrini, S. Klock, M. Willard, D. Miller.

It was their adviser, Mr. Rob- ert Drick, stressing the importance of han- dling the chemicals carefully. Enjoying the comforts of the new labora- tories, the Einsteins and Madame Curies of the future mixed solutions and hunted, sometimes desperately, for unknowns. They found they were interested more intensely in chemistry and its related sciences, and were learning many valuable lessons out- side of class. Aided by a student teacher, the students prepared projects for the an- nual Science Fair at Bucknell University. Movies on the field of chemistry and var- ious new experiments highlighted the year for the club members. First Row, Left to Right—J. Bain, J. Oberdorf, N. Schenk, E. Markunas, J. Herb, L. Van Doren.

The Tri-Hi-Y, sponsored by the Y. M. C. A., is an organization of fifteen girls who are interested in de- veloping Christian character in the home, school, and community. Each Tuesday evening the group meets at the Y. M. C. A. under the supervision of Mrs. Shirley Kratzer. Variation is obtained by alternating business and activity meetings. Finances of the club are satisfied by collecting dues, sponsoring dances held at the Y. M. C. A. and conduct- ing bake sales. At the expense of the club, each year the newly-elected officers are instructed in officer training at a district convention. Serving the community, foremost ambition of the girls, is done by reading to children in the hospital and raising funds for the new Y. M. C. A. Also an annual Christmas Party is held for the under-privileged children of the area. The interest and work put forth by each individual is rewarded with the satisfaction of having helped someone in need. TRI-HI-Y Left to Right—Chaplain K. Long, Treasurer A. Man- ning, President L.

Each year new rules and regulations are added to obtain the three-fold purpose of the club—posture building, good sportsmanship, and experience in bowmanship. Mr. Earl Hill, a highly capable adviser, meets with the members each Wednesday evening. He instructs them in proper care and handling of the equipment. The funds for the purchase of the equipment are raised by collecting dues and parking automobiles at the foot- ball games. The group also mends their arrows. The archers compete in various tournaments within their own club and with the clubs in surrounding areas. The archery range, located in the basement of the high school creates a friendly atmosphere for its members. Exhibiting their abilities arc Treasurer M. Haupt, Vice-President G. Kreider, Secretary L.

These three steps ushered in another year of recreation and education for the members of the Boys’ Rifle Club. Organizing the club was a difficult task this term since the range was being used for storage in the early fall. Under the governance of the National Rifle Association and the patient instruc- tion of Mr. John Auten, the boys became proficient in the safe and accurate use of firearms. Heeding the maxim “Practice makes perfect,” the followers of Dan’l Boone and Davy Crockett drilled weekly in preparation for the annual cut-throat tournament in the spring. From the six- teen boys who joined in this contest, a champion was determined by the highest score made in the various positions. Pro-marksmen, marksmen, and sharp- shooters alike have certainly benefited from the practical knowledge and lessons in sportsmanship acquired this past season. R.

It helps to elimi- nate the fear of firearms and also promotes the idea of good sportsmanship. Meetings are held every Tuesday eve- ning in the high school rifle range, under the capable supervision of Miss Joan Auten. Here the girls learn to fire a rifle at a target fifty feet distant from a standing, kneeling, sitting, or prone position. The ranks of marksman, pro-marksman, and sharpshoot- er are determined on a point system by the National Rifle Association of America. Keitt Matheson won the club champion- ship, with Linda Neidig the runner-up. Miss j. AUTEN Adviser Standing—Adviser Miss Auten, N. Hort, K. Matheson. Sitting— C. Wolfe, M. Bingaman, demonstrating; P.

Meeting at the Sunbury Bowling Center every Wednesday after school, the members practiced curve, straight, hook, and back-up balls in prep- aration for matches with out-of-town opponents. Belonging to the Susquehanna League, the members often traveled to Lewisburg, Danville, and Berwick, as well as hosting them. En- couraged by Mrs. Maude Bain, their adviser, the girls traveled to Williamsport to enter the annual high school bowling tournament. Awards were given to the girls and teams who were outstanding. A few of these were badges to the highest team, Ten Pins, and to Marcene Ilaupt who struck her way to the high- est average. Certificates were given to the person with the lowest average and to the girl who had improved her average the most. As a climax to the bowling season, a dinner was enjoyed by all the members.

This is the best record that a football team has compiled while the present class has been in high school. The Owls were greatly outweighed this year, but made up for lack of weight with spirit and determination. Against Lewistown, the Owls started well by scoring first, but made many mistakes that were capitalized upon by the more experienced Panthers. Berwick scored two last-quarter touchdowns to tie the Blue and White 19-19. Reichley scored twice with scampers of 35 and 92 yards, the latter being the longest run of the year. At home the following week, the Owls proved to be too strong for the Crimson of Pottsville. With reserves playing most of the last quarter, Sunbury won its first game 30-0. Coal Township recovered a 4th quarter fum- ble on the 16 to up-end the Owls 8-6. Sunbury, thereby, suffered the lone defeat of the year at home. At its next outing Sunbury defeated its arch rival, Norry, 39-6. Led by “Mule” Spotts and Galen Campbell, the Owls scored four times in the first quarter. Reserves played all of the second half. The Hazleton game provided some thrills in the mud against heavier opposition. Amerman almost got into the clear with an intercepted pass as the half ended. Reichley scored a 3rd quarter TD enabling the Owls to register their 3rd win 6-0. Milton could not provide too much opposi- tion on Hallowe’en night. This was also the Homecoming game. Reichley scored two TD’s as the game ended 26-0. The team dropped its next game to the cham- pion Shamokin Greyhounds 27-0. Ace pass defenders Reichley and Rogers were hurt in the first quarter of play. The Owls beat a strong Mt. Carmel team that was bidding for the Keystone Conference title with a final score of 14-6. With the linemen continuing their above-par play, the outweighed Owls beat a favored Dan- ville team 14-7. Thus concluded a successful season which placed Reichley on the first team of the Keystone Conference All-Stars and Amerman, G. Camp- bell, Markle, and Spotts on the second team.

VARSITY BASKETBALL Sunbury s Owls compiled a record of 15 wins and 7 losses in a closely-fought 1958-59 season. The Owls were sorely in need of height, but found speed and determination as worthy sub- stitutes. With only one starter from last year's championship team, they placed third in the Susquehanna League. Skip Benner won the league scoring cham- pionship with 352 points for a 25.1 average per game. Skip has a three year varsity total of over nine hundred points. Sunbury started badly in league competition by losing to Danville. Then the Owls won three in a row by defeating Lewisburg, Selinsgrove, and Trevorton. In a 57-51 game, they lost to Milton, who was undefeated in the first half of league play. The second half got under way with wins over Danville and Lewisburg. The Owls lost to Selinsgrove by a score of 64-54. Trevorton was a fairly easy win as Skip Benner scored a record 45 points. The Owls lost to Bloomsburg, then finished the season by defeating their arch-rival Northumberland 93-69. Not only was a record established by Sunbury for the highest number of point compiled in a single game, but Benner established the season’s high and broke his own record by scoring 47 points. 84 JOHN LAPINSKY Coach VARSITY BASKETBALL SCORES Dec. 5—S.

Throughout the entire season the team displayed fine sportsman- ship. The team record at the end of the league season was 14-0. Dropping only two out of eight exhibition games, they completed a nearly per- fect season of basketball. Coach James Hinds is to be congratulated on his fine coaching job of this winning team. 86 Bottom Row, Left to Right—Beverly Zimmerman, Joanne Heinly, Captain Linda Weaver, Sandra Clark, Linda Coleman, Patty Keller.

The Owls started the season with seven returning veterans, but due to injuries and unfortunate accidents four S. H. S. athletes were out of action before the end of the season. The lone match in which the Owls sported a full team saw them down previously undefeated Ralpho Township. At the Bloomsburg Tournament, the matmen were awarded three second-place and one third- place medal, also receiving the third place team trophy. At Districts, the Owls won more than five bouts, but failed to realize an individual cham- pionship or team honors. Although their record is unimpressive, the grapplers were credits to the school, both in con- duct and performance. The boys gained valu- able experience which improved them physically and morally, instilling in them the sense of sportsmanship and fair play which is essential to the sport.

TRACK Track is a new sport in Sunbury, and each year the number of boys trying out increases. Among the 35 candidates this year are quite a few regulars from last year who will be counted on to lead the way to a strong and winning track team. The term track is divided into two types of events; one is a running event, such as the sprint, half-mile, mile, hurdles, and relay, and the other is the field event, such as the discus throw, the javelin throw, and the shot-put. Work-outs begin in March as soon as the weather will permit, and competition with other schools begins in April. TRACK SCHEDULE April 16—Home Danville April 29—Home .......................

H. S. BASEBALL The diamond-men of Francis Hatton won six and lost six to wind up the 1958 season with a .500 percentage. The Owls defeated Northumberland and Milton twice, each time by a wide margin. They were defeated twice by both Selinsgrove and Mifflinburg; however, Selinsgrove, the league champs, only beat the Owls by one run each time. The only team the Owls split with was Lewisburg, with whom they lost a close two to one game at Sunbury and whom they defeated by a wide margin on the Lewisburg field. The one time Sunbury played Trevor- ton, the Owls were defeated on the away diamond. Sunbury beat Danville by one run in an extra-inning game. Bruce Simpson, a senior, had the highest batting average on the team. At the end of the season Sunbury lost four seniors, j Bruce Simpson—pitcher and first baseman, Ken Beaver—short- stop and team captain, Bruce Smith—catcher, and Lynn Snyder —left field.

Always in our memories will be the night we climbed the “Stairway to the Stars.” Billowy, pink clouds floated lazily on a canopy of blue to form the celestial entrance. Myriads of stars hung glittering, reflecting every ray of light. Playing under a winding silver staircase was Frank Taylor’s orchestra. As stars began to fade, we reluctantly bade farewell to a heavenly evening. Couples waltzed beneath a ceiling of glittering stars. The star-hound staircase provided a background for Joe Herb and Keitt Matheson, president and vice-presi- dent of the junior clnss, to present our regents’ awards. 97 Time out for refreshments.

Highlighting this event was the corona- tion of a charming queen, Judy Bailey, who was attended by Dolores Keen, Peggy Woodhead, and Mary Jo Bzdil. After taming the Milton Panthers 26-0, we celebrated our victory by dancing in the foliage-decorated gym to the smooth strains of the S. H. S. dance band.

Graceful dancers painted a lovely pic- ture as they pirouetted on the flower- strewn floor of the gym to pay tribute to Queen Mary Lazeski. Surrounding the royal party were streamers of varied colors, winding downward from the tops of two May poles, while a floral back- drop perfected the scene. The queen and her court were again honored at a dance held that evening in the romantic setting. The big moment—Bill Snauffer, president of the senior class, crowns Mary Lazeski Queen of the May.

Remember when Llewain Van Doren got his khakis caught in Gary Wentzel’s car door, and Gary started off! Rodger Hoffman terrorized the whole school with the spiders on his Ford’s hubcaps! 102 That was a joke, Joe Shilo? THIS WAS OUR YEAR A year of achievement, both for the U. S. and S. II. S. It was a year of technical advancement. Early in 1958, our first satellite, the Explorer, was sent into orbit. We had our own Wernher Von Braun in the person of Llewain Von Doren. For two successive years, he took highest honors at the Susquehanna Valley Science Fair and won a Navy-sponsored cruise and a scholarship. There was a definite trend in fashions. The chemise, the “sack,” and the empire dress were seen in our corridors. Even the derisive remarks of our male classmates could not dampen the enthusiasm of our fashion devotees. Spring saw the opening of the Brussels World Fair, at which outstand- ing musical aggregations played to capacity audiences. Sunbury had its own musical ambassadors. Bob Berry, a talented cornetist, was selected as a finalist or the televised Ted Mack’s Amateur Hour. Maurice Bechtel, accordionist extraordinary, won a scholarship at the Music Olympics held in Chicago, Illinois. The gradual completion of the new building seemed to revitalize our school spirit. Both faculty and student participation in events such as the Christmas program and the Faculty-Student basketball game were evidence of this. The athletic program proved the effectiveness of increased student support. Our outstanding “good citizen” for 1958-59 was Elle Markunas, who was selected to receive the D. A. R. Good Citizen award. Keitt Matheson and Patricia Hetzendorf were the winners of the United Nations competitive exam and were awarded a three-day trip to New York City. In the “I Speak for Democracy” contest Sanford Orkin placed first in Sunbury, first in Penn- sylvania, and second in the nation. Yes, this was a great year, a year of achievement, a year of increased opportunities, a year of challenge—an unforgettable year—Our year— 1958-59.
