Sunbury High School - Torch Yearbook (Sunbury, PA)

Text from Pages 1 - 120 of the 1960 volume:

Published Annually by the Senior Class of Sunbury Area Senior High School Sunbury, Pennsylvania Volume XLI May, I960 Foreword As the Class of 1960 approaches the goal toward which it has been striving for twelve years, each senior feels a sense of loss, for his high school days are over. But as each goes forward after graduation, the intangi- ble spirit of his high school days remain with him, ever spurring him on to greater heights. The tangible re- minder of that noble sentiment is the Owl — the symbol of school spirit at Sunbury High. It is our hope that both the Owl and this yearbook may serve to awaken memories of Sunbury High School in the years to come.

Pennsylvania State University Superintendent For the past twelve years Mr. Jones, as head of the administrative staff, has been guiding the des- tiny of Sunbury’s youth. Continually trying to better the educational system in Sunbury, Mr. Jones helps in the selection of teachers, aids in arranging workshops and night schools, and super- vises schools throughout the city. Working closely with the school board, he seeks to further coopera- tion between the board, the teachers, and the stu- dents. A great deal of credit is due to Mr. Jones for his untiring efforts toward securing the mod- ern building in which Sunbury High School stu- dents can now complete their twelve years of edu- cation. Board of Education Principal Mr. Hutchinson, who came to Sunbury from Lewistown, Pa., in 1958, has done a commend- able job during his two years as principal of Sunbury High. The many problems facing a principal upon completion of a new building have been very capably solved by Mr. Hutchin- son. His numerous duties include supervising education in the classroom, scheduling classes, extra-curricular activities, and assemblies, maintaining discipline throughout the school, and taking care of the physical aspects of school life, as the ordering of supplies and the keeping of records. Along with these primary concerns, Mr. Hutchinson has done much to establish a favorable social attitude between the school and the community. M. Eugene Hutchinson, B.S., M.Ed.

Is it possible? Could it be that all our classes are over, that there will be no more dances, football games, and assemblies, that there will be no more of that wonderful, irreplaceable camaraderie found only in high school? At last the day has come toward which the class of 1960 has been striving for three years — graduation. Sunbury High has become so much a part of us that its golden memories will cling throughout our lives. We are going out into the world to make of ourselves what we will, but S.H.S. will never be forgotten. All our yesterdays are over. They have shaped our todays and prepared us for the time when we must go out to meet our tomorrows. 24 RONALD L. ACKER Academic Whiz at chemistry problems . . . fascinating grin . . .

Junior Class The class of 1961 looks back on their junior year with regret, for all too quickly has come the end of another school year. We remember the exhilarating atmosphere of a football game, the tension of a basketball game, and are aware of only one more year in which to enjoy these good times. How well-remembered are the red noses, results of the adventures in the sale of Christmas trees. Many recall the frazzled workers who are now well-versed in the art of running a refreshment stand at football games. Five bedraggled students and one adviser were seen leaving the library, late Monday afternoons. The haggard expressions soon turned to those of pleasure as the prom became a reality. The hard work ' on the part of the adviser, class officers, and committee members made the Junior-Senior Prom one of the most memorable achievements of the class of “61.” Now with eyes turned toward the future, the class looks with anticipation to the year which lies ahead. These students are to become the sen- ior class of Sunbury High School and the leaders of tomorrow. 50 Left to right, FIRST ROW: S. Clark, P. Badman, N. Bassett, M. Bowman, L. Conrad, L. Beaver, N.

Sophomore Class As members of the new sophomore class, we walked toward the high school with trepidation last September 8, for we were sure we would be bewildered by the many classes, students, and teachers we were going to meet. Our feelings of apprehension were soon dis- persed, however, by the friendly, welcoming at- mosphere which filled the school. We discovered that clubs, sports, and classes with juniors and seniors, as well as sophomores, gave us a chance to get acquainted with our many fellow students. The sense of loyalty and pride we felt in our school was evident by the various ways the sopho- more class was represented in the life of the school. I’m sure none of us will forget the variety show in which Carl Shingara sang “Red Sails in the Sunset,” and Reynold Badman was presented with an award for winning the local Voice of Democracy contest. Many sophomores participated in football and basketball games, which were well attended, thanks to Pat Hockenbrocht, who chartered busses for many of the games. The very lovely represent- ative of our class at the Homecoming celebration was Judy Snyder.

Under the vigorous leadership of President Tony Colombet, the Council helped with the Red Cross and Tuberculosis drives, sponsored the taking of individual pictures for sophomores and juniors, held the annual student-faculty basketball game, and sold notebooks and pencils. Two of the Council’s main accomplishments were to increase the school spirit — both in sports and academic life — and to promote cooperation between faculty and students.

Left to right, SEATED: Judy Balestrini, Mr. Nesline, Linda Price. STANDING: Judy Katz, Sally Phillips, Ann Bergstresser, Joyce Riegel. The highest honor that any student can attain is election to the National Honor Society. Although academic record is of primary' impor- tance, the qualifications also include: character, lead- ership and service to school and community, requir- ing members to be well-rounded individuals, both scholastically and socially. Each year a faculty committee, with Mr. George Nesline as chairman, is designated to select, accord- ing to certain stipulations advocated by the National Honor Association, deserving students for member- ship. The following seniors were selected: Judy Bales- trini, Ann Bergstresser, Barbara Boone, Susan Cooper, Carole Derk, Janet Januszeski, Judith Katz, Fred Lytle, Mary Neyhart, Sally Phillips, Linda Price, Joyce Riegel, Carolyn Scheller, Barbara Stroup, and Brit Bjerkebak. May 8, 1959, an impressive ceremony, conducted in the magnificent new auditorium, marked the first time in several years that junior class students had been elected to National Honor Society. At the conclusion of several senior speeches on character, leadership, scholarship and service, the newly-elected juniors — Ann Bergstresser, Judy Bal- estrini, Judy Katz, Sally Phillips, Linda Price, and Joyce Riegel — each lighted, in turn, several candles making up a large torch, symbolic of the National Honor Society.

Chemistry Club officers Fred Lytle and Barry Keefer look on as Mr. Drick, adviser, demon- strates the process for distilling water. A group of inquisitive students composed the Chemistry Club, which was organized to create added interest in chem- istry, and to provide the members with the practical exper- ience of conducting chemical experiments. The club accom- plished these goals through lectures by professional guests, field trips to various chemical plants, and the demonstration of experiments and laboratory technique by students. The new laboratory, with its modern equipment, made these demonstrations fun-to-do, as well as informative. Although the club was mainly concerned with chemistry and its related subjects, social get-togethers were held after every other meeting. At these times, refreshments were served, and the students enjoyed a little relaxation after an interest- ing and stimulating meeting. Left to right, FIRST ROW: J. Wertman, M. Neyhart, J. Kline.

As a money-raising project, club members checked hats and coats at the Sunbury Mercuries Basketball games each Saturday night.

Under the expert direction and planning of Mr. Charles Coleman these musically-minded students executed precision drills at football games, marched in various parades, and gave two seasonal concerts — all with an air of perfection. In addition to these major activities the band promoted school spirit at pep assemblies by leading the students in pep songs. Barry Reed, Joyce Riegel, Merdyth Shipman, Roger Lark, Linda Coleman, Barbara Stroup, Linda Gearhart, John Baylor, Sally Phillips, Kathleen Fur- man, Sharon Rubendall, Becky Jo Eister, and Mary Ella Kebach attended District Band at Warrior Run High School. They were chosen for ability on their respective instruments. Because of the extended facilities, it was possible to hold State Band, Region 2, at Sunbury High this year. After a rigorous schedule of clinics and rehear- sals the select band presented a matinee and an eve- ning concert directed by Mr. J. Robert King, Head of the Instrumental Department of the University of Delaware. It is heartily agreed that our band with its ninety- seven talented musicians and their imaginative, en- ergetic director have made this year’s music thor- oughly enjoyable for both the student body and the community.

Under the direction of Mr. Charles Cole- man, these twenty talented girls met daily to gain experience in threepart singing. Making their debut at the Christmas assembly, the girls entertained the student audience with several appropriate choral selections. From those chosen by Mr. Coleman to attend District Chorus, four were accepted. These lucky girls were April Wilson, Ethel Lawrence, Judy E. Reitz, and Brit Bjerkebak. Participation in chorus not only proved an enjoyable experience for the group, but helped to instill them with a distinct appreciation for the world of music.

The dance band, which is comprised of several band members who enjoy playing rhythmic dance music, performed for several dances and school affairs, including the second annual Student Variety Show held last December. Originally the dance band was composed of only girls. Two years after its formation, however, a boys’ dance band was formed as a separate organization. Recently the two were united to produce a higher quality of music. Rehearsals, which were held Monday nights, were well-attended. As a re- sult of these long, hard practice sessions, beautiful music could be heard when the curtain was drawn for the first act of the Variety Show. The dance band, playing “Seventeen,” accompanied the dancers in their opening number, a modem dance routine.

The Future Teachers of America is an organization de- signed to acquaint students with the opportunities of a teaching career. At several meetings the club engaged, as their guests, members of the various teaching professions to discuss different fields of educational work. The organization sponsored an F.T.A. day when the members were entitled to visit classes in the elementary and junior high schools, for practical observation. Last fall the group staged, as their major project, the Home- coming festivities, including an assembly and a dance after the Hazelton game. Left to right, FIRST ROW: C. Winters, M. Wolfe, C.

On the nights of March 4 and 7, 1960, the Senior Class portrayed the comedy play, “Act Your Age”, by William Da- vidson. The play takes place in the Joyce family living room. Peg Woodhead and Nancy Zyry have knitted socks for the Red Cross and enclosed their names. Two sailors, Danny Mil- ler and Tony Colombet, receive the socks and become ac- quainted with the girls through correspondence. When the sailors ask for pictures, the two fourteen-year-olds through impersonation have the gullible sailors believing they have two glamorous eighteen-year-olds “on the hook”. The “in- evitable” occurs, and the sailors ask the girls to marry them. To surprise the two girls, Tony and Danny arrive at the Joyce household to spend leave with their future brides. Re- alizing that Peg and Nancy certainly aren’t eighteen, they decide that anything is better than going back to the ship. In the meantime Peg’s Aunt, Janet Januszeski, arrives and learning of the girls’ antics from the Joyces’ lady wrestler-maid, Joelle, decides to teach them a lesson. By accident she has brought the suitcase of her eleven-year-old niece, Elsie, who traveled part of the way with her, and by dressing in Elsie’s clothes, makes a general nuisance of herself. Unfortunately for the sailors, their commanding officer, J. Ronald Kuzmick, starts looking for them when they over- stay their leave. The sailors try to convince him that they need extra time to get married. When he arrives to transport them back to the base, they plan all sorts of schemes to keep him from finding them — including the sudden death of the two girls. Finally the hilarious truth is brought to light, and Tony and Danny give up their child brides for two older specimens, Cora and Aunt Sandra. Ouch! Take it easy! Tony Colombet howls in pain as Brit Bjerkebak, Ron Kuzmick, Peggy Woodhead and Danny Miller look on. While Peggy Woodhead leafs anxiously through a stack of magazines, Nancy Zyry prepares to go tadpole hunt- ing. 83 Sports Editor Ronald Kuzmick Left to right, FIRST ROW: J. Keener, B. Long, E.

D.’s in the first half, the Owls came out and played toss-up ball by holding the more experienced and much heavier oppo- nents to one tally, while the Blue White scored just before the game ended. On the last play, Ron Acker streaked 52 yards and toed the extra point, for the first score of the ’59 season. SELINSGROVE Unwilling to settle for anything but a victory, an un- beaten Selinsgrove High School eleven met a much im- proved Sunbury team. The Red and Blue had to stage a 65-yard drive with time running out in the final quar- ter to defeat the Owls by a score of 20—13. In the sec- ond period, Ron Acker rammed the ball over the goal line from the 12-yard line to knot the score at 7 all. After the Seals scored again to make the score 13—17, Butch Moll pulled a beautiful fake play and ran around the end for the other Owl T. D. With time almost gone, the Seals staged a 65-yard drive to keep their winning streak alive. BERWICK An unbeaten Berwick High School team showed the Owls of Sunbury the ropes by handing them their third straight defeat of the season. The high-flying Bulldogs showed their scoring punch by making a T. D. in every period. The Owls only scoring opportunity came in the fourth quarter when they had a first down on the Ber- wick four-yard line. Then the aggressive, hard-hitting Berwick Eleven dug in and forced the Owls to lose their chance to avoid a shut-out. POTTSVILLE A fast-moving Pottsville High team wasted no time in dropping the boom on the Owls with four long T. D. gallops to trample the Blue White by a score of 31—0. Except for a 26-yard dash skillfully executed by Ron Acker in the first quarter, the Owls showed little offense against the strong Crimson line. COAL TOWNSHIP Sunbury High Owls bowed to Coal Township with the Purple Demons starting ending strongly, with a 20—0 triumph. Victory-starved Owls had only 1 scoring threat, early in the third quarter, when John Yagel, Don Carr, and Ron Acker moved the ball to the Coal 21 where it was lost. Coal Township intercepted the ball twice and took it for a T. D. Next time they got the ball, the Demons drove 62 yards for another T. D. Again in the third period the Demons shoved the ball over for the final score of 20—0. Highlights NORTHUMBERLAND Forcing the breaks needed for two decisive second- half T. D.’s, Sunbury High Owls crashed into the win column with a 25—12 victory over a hard-fighting North- umberland High team. Ron Acker, senior halfback, who scored two T. D’s on 6 and 61-yard runs, also broke loose for the longest run of the night, a 72-yard dash. The other two Sunbury scores were added by Don Carr and John Yagel. The SHS line, from end to end, drew the commendation of the crowd for their outstanding per- formance. HAZELTON Before 2,200 homecoming fans, the underdog Owls proved stiff competition for the beefy Mountaineers of Hazel ton, winners of the game 13—0 on two controver- sial T. D.’s.The Owls, outweighed by 30 pounds per man, played one of their finest games of the season by carrying the fight to their highly advertised and expe- rienced foes. The 2 disputed T. D.’s came about by for- ward laterals which were okayed by the officials. MILTON Despite a final score of 19—0 giving another loss to the Owls, statistics showed Blue White tallied 15 first downs to 13 of the Orange Black Milton Pan- thers and piled up 213 yards net gain from scrimmage to 208 for Milton. Owls lost 2 scoring opportunities in the second and final quarters, one on the yard line on downs and the other on a fumble at the seven. SHAMOKIN With Shamokin scoring twice by 2 long passes and by 2 long runs on a sodden field, the Owls dropped their last home game 26—0. Although the Owls had 2 more first downs and 40 more yards gained on the ground, the Greyhounds passed 4 times for 126 yards and half of their T. D.’s. The ’Hounds stopped both Owl drives for T. D.’s, one in the second quarter, when Dave Rogers picked up 14 yards, the longest Blue White gain of the evening, and the other on the 8-yard line with a few minutes left in the game. MOUNT CARMEL The Red Tornadoes powered their way to a decisive victory over the outmanned Owls, by a lop-sided score of 34—6. The Tornadoes scored five T. D.’s, two extra points, and a safety to account for the 34 points, the most scored against the Owls this season. The Owls scoring came in the last quarter with a Statue of Liberty good for 27 yards and the last touchdown of the ’59 season. Senior Players This year the Owls had the service of only 4 seniors, the smallest crew in recent years. Despite the fact that in- juries hampered them, the Seniors’ spirit and desire could be seen in the games as well as on the practice field. This same spirit and desire kept the Owls fighting down to the final whistle even if Sunbury was on the wrong end of a top-sided score.

A cool, crisp evening in mid-spring was the setting for the year’s most exciting affair, the 1959 Junior-Senior Prom. In the midst of a huge, gaily-colored carousel, Mans- field S. T. C.’s Esquires provided musical atmosphere as carnation-bearing white ponies capered overhead oblivi- ous to the starry-eyed crowd below, watching Skip Ben- ner and Ann Duttinger as they assumed their royal roles. Hours later at the American Legion ballroom, Marcene Haupt was crowned Queen of the Post-Prom. Tonight spins gay memories of a gliding merry-go-round. Junior Michelangelos try to get the ceiling finished on time. Revelers catch some quick refreshments at the brass ring. Homecoming 1959 .• • V� . •. Gridiron captain Dave Rogers escorts Queen Connie Snyder to the throne. •• Sunbury High’s second an- nual Homecoming festivities were marked by lively anticipa- tion and color. Setting the stage for the en- trance of the Queen, the mem- bers of the court, strikingly- gowned in red, green, and gold, took their places on the stage. Then came the big moment — the identity of the Queen was revealed as Connie Snyder and her escort Dave Rogers entered the gym. Seated before goal posts draped in the traditional blue and white. Queen Connie and her court reigned over a pep rally. That evening classmates and friends, enthusiastic over the hard-fought Hazelton game, paid tribute to them at a Homecoming dance. Left to right are Sophomore Judy Snyder, Senior Peggy Woodhead, 1958 Queen Judy Bailey, Queen Connie, Senior Judy Merrill, and Junior Sharon Crites. 104 An array of beauty, left to right: Ann Duttinger, Helen Woodcock, Jean Volinsky, Marcene Haupt, Ann Brobst, Delores Keen, Karen Long, Judy Bailey, and Nicole Schenk. May Day To the students at Sunbury High, May is a spe- cial month of the year — the time of May Day. Last year the suspense was finally broken at a cere- monious assembly where the queen and her court were revealed. Ann Brobst, regal in a snowy white floor-length gown, was crowned Queen of the May by Mary Lazeski, queen of 1958. The gym, festively decorated in pastel carna- tions, was the scene of the coronation. In token of homage to Queen Ann and her court, a ballet fea- turing several of the students was presented. A dance in honor of the Queen and her court held that night provided the crowning touch to a perfect May Day. Ann Brobst, stately Queen of the May, surveys her domain. 105 “How should I know the four cycles of an internal combustion engine?” Senior Superlatives Most likely to Succeed ...............

Gone With The Wind, reveal- ing the whereabouts of Fritz Koletar’s child- hood. While the English classes struggled through Macbeth, the sociology classes struggled through the problems of love and marriage, and the rest of the class just struggled, the year 1959-60 proved to be one of the best yet. In the newly dedicated auditorium, students were whisked away from the work-a-day world with programs as varied as the four seasons — from F.B.I. men and variety shows to spelling bees, bands, and clowns, for each club had a show of its own to contribute. The whole student body agreed unanimously about one item. It had certainly been a pleasure to associate with our foreign student, Brit Bjerke- bak from Halden, Norway. Brit’s ready smile and willing hands made us all self-evaluate and look for ways to better our own character. But one thing puzzled our friend from Norway. Why did Sunbury close the schools when only ten inches of snow piled up? This year was also the year of evaluating com- mittees, new uniforms for the cheerleaders, king- size report cards, and ever-changing cafeteria pro- cedure. The cafeteria line will forever be seared into our memories, or if you’re the forgetful type you need only glance at your scars to remind you that it was every man for himself. Pity the poor underclassmen who tried to outrace the seniors to this line. He’s probably still caught in the swing- ing door-door-door. Honor and recognition were brought to our school by outstanding individuals. Judy Katz was a finalist in the National Merit Scholarship pro- gram. The editor of the School Times, Joyce Riegel, let no grass grow under her feet, for she received the D.A.R. Good Citizenship Award. Five seniors, Ann Bergstresser, Sally Phillips, Barry Con- rad, Danny Miller, and Tony Colombet, winners of the United Nations contest, were awarded a trip to the U.N. in New York. Musically, Sun- burians took top honors at district band and cho- rus. And lest we forget — Sally Phillips showed another facet of her many-talented personality by achieving the title of Homemaker of Tomorrow. Yes, this was certainly quite a year to be remem- bered no matter how many more pass, and one to be recalled no matter what occurs to the members of the Class of 1960. 112 SIMUM HIGH SCHOOL
