Sunbury High School - Torch Yearbook (Sunbury, PA)

Text from Pages 1 - 116 of the 1961 volume:

Foreword The simplicity and economy of semi-abstract art sym- bolize the world of today; unnecessary elements are eliminated to increase speed and efficiency in business, in transportation, in almost every phase of modem life. In a well-rounded educational program, the speed and effi- ciency do not crowd out the equally important aspects necessary in making a mature, responsible person from the inexperienced student who began his studies twelve years ago. We, the class of 61, have tried to depict in various ways these activities and learning processes which have guided us through this final year in high school. Modem interpre- tation of objects are given emphasis; each is representa- tive of not only a part of the book but also a segment of our lives that is rapidly ending. But, in a larger sense, life has just begun for us; we are about to go on to institutions of higher education or to put to use the skills we have been learning. In either case, we can confidently take our places in the modem society to which we now belong.

During homeroom period, Mrs. Hoffman lends Nancy Strawser and Susan Pope, class officers, a helping hand in the sale of graduation announce- ments, one of the important senior class projects. In addition to advising our class, Mrs. Hoffman also supervises the activi- ties of the Library Club. 6 Dedication During our brief stay in high school we have made many friends, both classmates and teachers. Of these, one stands out in the memory of all who have known her. In her capacity as librarian she will- ingly offers her assistance to all students in their pursuit of knowledge. Apart from these duties, she is con- stantly endeavoring as class adviser to make our high school days the best possi- ble. The unselfish way she gives of her time and energy will be long remembered and deeply appreciated. Without her helpful suggestions and confidence in our ability we could never have succeeded in the projects we undertook. Most important of all is her willingness to aid each student with any problems he may have. She is always there — ready to listen, anxious to advise, eager to help. With sincere appreciation and affection we, the Class of 1961, dedicate our Torch to . .. Mrs. Betty Hoffman Board of Education Each year the Sunbury Area Schools Committee conducts a wide variety of business, indirectly affect- ing every student. Under the direc- tion of Mr. William Betz, who has served as president for the past five years, the committee meets once a month, assisted in its work of super- vision by M. Eugene Hutchinson, Francis Hatton, Russell Winegardner, and Miss Grace Beck. These admin- istrative officers report on their re- spective schools and answer any questions which may be brought to the attention of the committee. Among the numerous duties of this board are hiring teachers and maintenance personnel, formulating school policy within the framework of the laws of the state, exercising super- vision over all the school properties, improving the curriculum, and over- seeing the financial affairs of the school system. Left to right: Mr. Claude Knoebel, Secretary; Mr. William H. Betz, President; Miss Helen Schaffer, Vice-President. 10 Left to right, FIRST ROIV: M. Eugene Hutchinson, Superintendent, John O. Eister, William Shipman. SECOND ROIV: Rudolph Ries, Alfred Ries, Dr. E. L. Bergstresser, Raymond Broscious, Paul Rossiter, Chief Clerk, Joseph L. Ray, Jr., Claude Knoebel, William H. Betz, Miss Helen Schaffer. Missing, Robert Beck. Superintendent As acting superintendent of Sunbury Schools, Mr. M. Eugene Hutchinson in close cooperation with the Board of Educa- tion establishes the policies for the opera- tion of the schools. It is his responsibility to make recommendations to the Board and to implement the policies established. Constantly alert to the continued evalua- tion and improvement of the instructional program, Mr. Hutchinson has exerted effective leadership in the areas of organ- ization, curriculum revision, and extension of student activities. Through his efforts advanced work in specialized subjects and differentiation of course content have been made available for students of varying interests. Evidencing his interest in the cause of education, Mr. Hutchinson holds member- ship and participates actively in the follow- ing professional organizations. He is presi- dent of the Pennsylvania School Study Council, chairman of the Legislative Com- mittee of the Central Susquehanna Area Chief School Administrators, and secretary of the Pennsylvania Association for Study and Education of the Mentally Gifted. He is a member of the American Association of School Administrators as well as the Local, State, and National Education associations. Mr. Hutchinson interrupts a busy day of scheduling. Miss Killian and Mrs. Neidig assist Mr. Hutchinson in his duties as superintendent. Among the varied duties of Miss Romayne Kil- lian, secretary to the superintendent, are the handling of correspondence, acting as a reception- ist, and enrolling new students. These services include compilation of reports for the State De- partment Public Instruction and records of school attendance. Mrs. Neidig performs secretarial duties for the superintendent as well as Miss Beck, Director of Elementary Education. 11 Principal When a vacancy occurred in the prin- cipal’s office, Mr. Francis Hatton was elected to fill the position. Because of his twenty-seven years of educational experi- ence as a mathematics instructor and football coach, and his natural adminis- trative abilities, he was amply qualified to undertake his new duties. The respect and and trust with which the new principal regards the students have earned him admiration and cooperation throughout the school. As principal, Mr. Hatton handles with capability the duties of this office and exerts authority in a manner favorable to all concerned. Among his major obliga- tions are acting as a liaison between the school board and senior high school, serv- ing on various committees, adjusting cur- riculums and extra-curricular activities, advising the faculty, and maintaining discipline. Mr. Hatton’s personal interest in the students as individuals has become his policy, thus earning him their respect in his first year as principal. Mr. Hatton addresses the student body at an assembly. Numerous files are kept by Susan Cooper and Mrs. Burgess in their work in the school office. Performing regular secretarial duties for Mr. Hat- ton is Mrs. Burgess. She is also responsible for the records of every student in Sunbury High School and for the daily bulletins sent to all teachers. Mrs. Burgess is always willing to help the teachers in any way she can and is often considered the liaison between the student body and the office. Miss Cooper has charge of all transcript work in the office and operates the switch board. 12 One of the busiest members of the faculty in Sunbury Senior High School is the guidance coun- selor, Mr. Frederick Padgett. Assuring students of the best method to find jobs and how to study ef- fectively while in school and college are his primary aims. Other phases in guidance of the students in- clude collecting information concerning colleges and technical schools for interested students; co- ordinating College Entrance Examination Board material; administering standarized aptitude tests; interviewing students who are having trouble in school; informing graduates and undergraduates of jobs available; and adjusting the schedules of pupils. All these duties make the guidance counselor a very important part of the faculty. MR. FREDERICK PADGETT Guidance Counselor Guidance Department The improvement of instruction in elementary schools is the prime objective of Miss Grace Beck. Through the media of classroom visitation and in- numerable teachers’ meetings she is constantly bet- tering educational techniques. Interviewing prospec- tive instructors and calling substitutes when needed are also included in her job. By coordinating the curriculum from kindergarten through twelfth grade, Miss Beck eliminates overlapping of subject matter and insures well-balanced courses of study. MISS GRACE BECK Director of Elementary Education and Curriculum Coor- dinator. Performing an inconspicuous but vital service to our school is the home and school coordinator, Mrs. Rhoda Passmore. Not only does her job entail check- ing on attendance of pupils, but also the issuing of employment certificates, tasks involving health and welfare of children, and helping to create under- standing and cooperation between the parents and the school. By consultation with the parents she solves many problems that cannot be resolved in the classroom. MRS. RHODA PASSMORE Home and School Coordinator 13 Language Department Left to right: Mrs. Theodosia Hoffman, Mr. Trevor Lewis, Mrs. Betty Hoffman, Mrs. Evelyn Picton, Miss Katherine Fernsler, and Mrs. Janet Erikson. Developing a more thorough knowledge and use of the English language is the basic function of the English Department. It provides a study based on the premise that language is the indis- pensable tool in the life of civilized man and is the art through which he most fully expresses himself. The courses in literature provide opportunity to form an acquaintance with English and American literature and to understand individ- ual works as unique artistic creations. The ultimate aim is to imbue a discriminating appreciation for the best that has been written. A knowledge of words and ideas is imparted enabling students to communicate their thoughts to one another, to think effectively, to make sound and relevant judgment, and to discriminate carefully among values. A perma- nent enrichment of life can be obtained from these studies. Mr. Lewis reviews punctuation prior to testing his English class. Mrs. Picton instructs George Shingara in the use of the tape re- corder, a modern teaching device to improve pronunciation and voice quality. The newly inaugurated journalism class in Sunbury High School, under the direction of Miss Fernsler, studies varied headlines of metropolitan newspapers. 14 Left: French newspapers create interest in Miss Shipe’s second year class. Right: Mr. Hoenstine translates freely for his Latin students. The Foreign Language Department is striving to acquaint students with not only the language and literature of a country other than their own but also with an understanding of its contribution to the individual and social culture. Available to the students are two years of Latin and three years of Spanish, German, and French. The language laboratory, a modern, scholastic tool designed to aid the lan- guage classes in their pursuit of linguis- tical perfection, has been introduced to Sunbury students this year. The lab con- tains a total of thirty soundproof booths, the last five having tape recorders in their desk surfaces. Flere students learn to speak a foreign language by talking into a tape recorder and listening to the play-back. Several languages can be taught simul- taneously in this manner. Left to right: Mr. George B. Nesline, Miss B. Mary Shipe, Mr. Roy Hoenstine, and Mr. Daniel O. Hoy. Mr. Hoy tests the equipment as sophomores prepare for a Breaking the pinata, an old Spanish custom, occurs every lesson in the modem language lab. Christmas as Mr. Nesline demonstrates. 15 Mathematics and Science Departments Right: Listening attentively to Mr. Furman’s explanation of the graph arc Ron Martz, Ron Beaver, Vinnie Wohlheiter, and Bob Lytle. Below: Tom Gass, Fred Kelly, Ed McCormick, and Tim Moyer fill out the orders and deliver the sup- plies as Mr. Van Horn checks the teachers’ requisitions. Left: Mr. Bealor stands ready to give assistance on the home- work assignment in the few minutes before the bell. The Department of Mathematics, con- stantly striving to teach each pupil to think, reason, and conclude from his own understanding of a problem, plays an im- portant part in the education of a student living in this rapidly advancing world of technology. The complete course begins with the study of the principles and theorems of plane and solid geometry, giving the student the practical ability to picture mentally and analyze a presented problem. Solids and planes of all sizes and shapes exemplify the procedures and solu- tions for the pupil. By means of graphs, linear and quadratic equations, and ratios, the first and second year algebra student learns reasoning through logical thinking and proper organization. College algebra is an intensification of the study of these basic abstract and intricate equa- tions. Trigonometry deals with the func- tions related to triangles, their sides, and their angles, teaching the student to com- bine and put into practice the knowledge thus far acquired. Left to right: Mr. Barry Bealor, Mr. William Van Horn, and Mr. G. Robert Furman. 16 The Science Department endeavors to give its stu- dents a thorough understanding of the world around them. In biology detailed diagrams and live dissec- tions exemplify the workings of the anatomy of all the earth’s creatures. A course in physics helps the individual to see the how’s and why’s of our sur- roundings, dealing with light, heat, sound, mechanics, motion, and their related theories and principles. Chemistry deals with the families of elements, their properties, and their uses in industry. Frequent labo- ratory periods improve the technique of the students in scientific experiments. An advanced course is offered in each one of the general fields to allow the student to delve more deeply into these subjects. In- structors in these courses are, left to right: Mr. Robert Lehman, Mr. Robert Drick, and Mr. Ronald Bushick. Missing, Mr. James Hinds. One of Mr. Hinds’ pet physics principles is demonstrated by Ron Martz and the gyroscope; Vinnie Wohlheiter observes. Amidst the extensive scientific equipment, Sally Reed, Rusty Entz, Mary Jo Bzdil, and Lynn Conrad observe some of Mr. Bushick’s advanced biology specimens. 17 Social Studies Department LEFT: A senior P.D. class taught by Dr. Derr sits spellbound won- dering who got “one hun-dred” on that last test. BELOW: Mr. Thurston advises his sociology class on the problems of love and marriage. World Cultures, a course given to students in the sopho- more year, familiarizes future citizens with the accomplish- ments and frailities of the past. It is the aim of this course to create a better world for tomorrow from the experiences of yesterday. Preparedness for adulthood is supplemented by American History courses in the junior year. Not only is the early histori- cal development of the United States presented, but the political and economical aspects of a democracy are included in this study. Problems of Democracy is an actual investigation of the wheels which turn a democracy. Why a democracy functions and how it does so, are explained in this course proffered to seniors. Faculty members of this department are above, left to right, Mr. George Amerman, Dr. Emerson Derr, Mr. Robert Thurston, and Mr. James St. Clair. ABOVE: A note of humor is injected into the sophomore World Culture class by Mr. Amerman. OPPOSITE: The recent election of Senator Kennedy is the topic of discussion led by Mr. St. Clair. 18 Business Department OPPOSITE: Mrs. Hatton closely supervises these industrious typists. Below: As business adviser to the School Times, Miss Reichley ob- serves the head typists, Christine Gill and Linda Weaver, and Danny Paulnock, business manager. The commercial course, specializing in accounting and sec- retarial studies in the junior and senior years, prepares students for the active business world of today. Presented in the accounting course are advanced general math, typing, bookkeeping, office practice, and law and sales, in which the students study clerking and business law. The primary difference between the secretarial and account- ing courses is the emphasis on shorthand in the secretarial. Also included in the secretarial course are typing, advanced general math, and secretarial studies. Available for the use of both courses is actual office equip- ment such as the duplicating and calculating machines, a mimeoscope which duplicates pictures, and a soundscriber which gives direct dictation from a record with the use of ear- phones. During free periods seniors acquire experience by operating the intercom or switchboard, and by helping with attendance records and errands in the office. OPPOSITE: In addition to his classroom business program, Mr. Wirt is the organizer of high school banking. Here he assists Pat Mahaffey in preparation for a deposit. Above: Mr. Mitterling speeds up dictation to these future stenographers. 19 OOOOQGQ ooooo Vocational Department The primary purpose of the vocational courses is to prepare the students to enter the ‘world of work’. Included in this department are, SEATED: Mr. Charles M. Foulds, Auto Mechanics; Mrs. Laurie Forsyth, Home Economics; Mr. John Kaiser, Director of Vocational Education, who is con- stantly laboring to improve the offered training STANDING: Mr. Russell Delp, Machine Shop; Mr. Clarence Weaver, Drafting; Mr. Earl Hill, Woodwork. Sherry Lehman and Diane Porter lend a hand to Mary Jo Bzdil in her sewing project. The future health and happi- ness of today’s youth centers around the training given the girls in the Home Economics De- partment. Here students are taught not only the basic skills in both sewing and cooking but also many other areas of home- making such as caring for chil- dren, laundering, and planning their own home. Study of the basic food nutrients enables stu- dents to prepare well-balanced meals which are both attractive and healthful. Added interest in the class is created by films, guest speakers, field trips, and a home project each semester by the students. 20 In the auto shop boys can learn to repair and service engines, radiators, carburetors, and ignition systems. Here Ken Badman and Bob Klinger work on the intricacies of the com- bustible engine under the supervision of Mr. Foulds. Drafting teaches students to be able to pre- sent facts and ideas in the international lan- guage, mechanical drawing. At right, Mr. Weaver and his senior students study the sym- bols plotted by John Yagcl. Carpentry shop helps boys to acquire knowl- edge and develop skill in various phases of home construction. Obtaining valuable prac- tical skill are Jud Keener and Charles Oshctski as they nail the floorboards of a model house. The fundamental theory and the development of basic skills in metal work are the prime con- cern of the machine shop. Ernie Poff demon- strates the operation of the complex milling machine as Mr. Delp nods his approval. Bob Houghton pays close attention to the proce- dure involved. 21 Care of the body is equal in importance to care of the mind in every phase of life; the Sunbury High School Health Department capably fulfills this need. An infirmary, re- plete with medicinal products and informa- tion, is readily available. Thorough physical examinations are administered to the junior class each year by a competent physician. In addition, Mrs. Rogers tests all students’ sight and hearing periodically. The physical education program serves to build health of body and promote a health- ful attitude toward life. Varying with the seasons, the activities of the gymnastic classes are organized to give students as much fresh air and exercise as possible. In the crisp autumn months hockey, soccer, and football are predominant. During the winter, skills in basketball, volleyball, calisthenics and marching are developed. The classes in- dulge in such outdoor sports as tennis, bad- minton, baseball, and softball in the spring. Health education classes promote an un- derstanding of body functions which creates a pride in personal hygiene; practice in first aid is also an essential facet of the course. Consequently, the health program is a step toward the practical habits of life. Left to right: Mrs. Elizabeth Gates, Mr. John Auten, and Mrs. Faith Rogers. Health Department Jump, girls!

The health and gym classes com- bine for social dancing, popular with the high school student . Supplying added refinement is the Depart- ment of Arts and Training. Its services exert influence in building citizens of tomorrow and providing constructive enjoyment today. The program in music, comprising class- room instruction and opportunities for in- dividual and group participation, is designed to promote a wider knowledge and apprecia- tion of great music. Artistically inclined persons find materials and professional guidance to encourage their interests in art class. Projects range from displays in the show cases to painting, ceramics, mosaics, and sculpturing. A related phase of art is vocational training in spe- cialized printing. As the importance of driving increases in this mechanized world, the course of driver- training proves invaluable. Here students receive theory and participate in roadwork. Speech class applies principles common to effective oral communication. By writing and taping speeches, making the announce- ments, and delivering public speeches, the student improves his role as both speaker and listener.

Senior section editors: Sandy Williams, News Edi- tor; Fran Ray, Features Editor; and George Hoff- man, Sports Editor, head a staff of thirteen reporters. Christine Gill, head typ- ist, directs a staff of three senior girls, Tonia Fox, Darlene Forbes, and Linda Weaver, all of whom work under the supervision of Miss Eva Reichley. A newly-enacted depart- ment of the publication is that of copyreading. This department is headed by Joanne Passmore. Assisting Joanne are Nancy Kaiser and Susan Swectser. As editor-in-chief, Karen Zimmerman has charge of all phases of the paper. Karen’s experience as co- editor of the Junior High School paper and her sum- mer courses at Penn State aid her in this task. Danny Paulnock, the business manager, is work- ing for his sixth year in the field of high school journal- ism. Cheryl Erdman and Ronnie Emerick, heads of “62” staff, have received on-the-job training this year from their Senior editors. It was the aim of the staff to educate underclassmen in their duties to insure a more efficient body in future years. Compact Staff of 18 Operates Publication Eighteen enthusiastic and hard-working students sup- ply the machinery for the functioning of the School Times. These students, se- lected on ability, scholastic standing, and interests, suc- cessfully produce nine issues, one appearing each month of the school year. The news reporting staff consists of: Rae Fink, Kay Jones, Carole Katz, Ray- mond Klinger, and Eleanor Matheson. Reynold Badman, Mary Lee Clukey, Carol Deitrich, Sara Pcnsyl, and Sandy Zimmerman make up the features staff. Sports events are covered by Vincent Wohlheiter, Sharon Crites, and Karen Walshaw. School Times Under- goes Reorganization Under the direction of the editor-in-chief and the adviser, Miss Katherine Fernsler, the School Times underwent many changes in the organization of the staff, type of articles, and general makeup. A special effort was made to have the staff work as a unit, improving their writ- ing and the quality of the paper. Each reporter at- tended a general staff meet- ing to learn of plans for the coming issue. The editors and adviser were always at hand to consult with the re- porters on assigned articles. Because the School Times was made available, with- out cost, to all students this year by special aid from the School Board, the staff se- lected articles appealing to both academic and voca- tional students. In their endeavors to reach students, faculty, and community, The School Times sponsored articles en- couraging sportsmanship and further education, and acted as a liaison between student body and faculty in matters concerning student govern- ment.

Directed by Mr. George Nesline a selected committee carefully choose members according to their scholarship character, leadership, and service. Scholarship is considered of primary importance. A student’s grades must be high before he is considered as even a tentative member. The student’s leadership ability is judged by his initiative and his abil- ity to organize, inspire, and direct others. Included under this heading is his attitude toward studies, classes, and school administration. Work as members of organized groups, as well as service performed in- side and outside the classroom is rated under service. Character is based on the dependability, industry, honesty, and person- ality of the student. The national membership roll is signed by the chosen senior students during the assembly held at the end of each year. After the signing of the roll and the lighting of the torch, the symbol of the society, these students become permanent members of the National Honor Society.

Before the beginning of the school year, the executive committee of the Student Council, di- rected by Danny Paulnock, and under the super- vision of Mr. Ronald Bushick, held several organizational meetings. One of the projects, the engaging of a bus to go to all away football and basketball games, was a start toward the improvement of “school spirit.” Other projects for the year were the taking of sophomore and junior class pictures, the selling of jackets and pennants, and the holding of the an- nual student-faculty basketball game. Several school dances including a semi-formal Thanksgiv- ing dance and a New Year’s Eve Dance were sponsored by the Council. The annual coronations of both the Homecom- ing and May Queens were held by the Council in co-operation with the F.T.A. and the F.H.A. During the final month of school, a banquet for the installation of the new officers was held. Bonnie Diehl presides over a caucus of junior and sopho- more Student Council members during a special meeting in the cafeteria. One of the big projects of the Student Council is the taking of individual pictures. Here the committee is pre- paring for distribution the packet? containing these pictures. 66 Key Club By applying its motto, “We build,” to the school and the community, the Sunbury High School Key Club did outstanding work in the field of student service. Directed by Mr. Daniel Hoy, the twenty- two members of the organization participated in many activities throughout the school year. At the Kiwanis’ Charities Football Game and at the home high school football games the club was in charge of the reserve seat section and selling programs. By helping at the an- nual Beauty Show the boys earned a substan- tial profit. Distributing Red Cross containers, conducting a “get out and vote” campaign, and putting up Tuberculosis posters were just a few of the club’s community projects. Several of the members attended the annual Key Club Convention held at Reading. To end the year the club held its Parents’ Appre- ciation Banquet to allow the boys’ parents the opportunity to learn of all that their sons had accomplished.

Some of the duties of the Library Club members are the circulation and mending of books and magazines, shelving returned books, and solving many unusual problems presented to them by the students. There is also a voluntary committee from the club which plans the weekly bulletin boards in the library. The club has a point system which requires the girls who are members to work at least one period a week and to take part in the extra activities. The members must acquire the nec- essary points by the end of their high school career to receive their awards for library service. Joanne Passmore ............ President Sally Unger ...........

The purpose of the F.H.A. is to promote a growing apprecia- tion of the joys and satisfactions of homemaking and to further the interest of its members in home economics. This idea was applied in the girls’ many activities throughout the year. They made favors for the Thanksgiving dinners at the hospital and helped the Key Club decorate the school for Christ- mas. Sponsoring school dances and bake sales and collecting for the Cancer Fund were other projects of the F.H.A. girls. At the meetings of the club citizens of the community spoke on subjects of vital interest.

In the early part of the school year, the club spon- sored a Family Night Banquet which was attended by the parents of the club’s members. The motto of the club, “Learning to do, doing to leam, learning to live, and living to serve,” provides the goal for the boys in seeking their special fields of farm- ing. 69 Tri-Hi-Y The Tri-Hi-Y is a senior high school organi- zation which is sponsored by the Y.M.C.A. Its purpose is to create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character. Emphasis is placed on the all-around development of the members of the club in spirit, mind, and body through cultural activities and social services. The group of fifty girls is under the guidance of Mrs. Harriet Blank. The year’s activities included a hay ride; rummage, white elphant, and bake sales; and attendance at the Tri-Hi-Y conferences and rallies. The club carried out the spirit of Christmas by presenting gifts to the children at the State School. F. T. A. Lynn Moyer ............................ President Bonnie Diehl .....................

Mr. Bealor explains the makeup of cystine. This year the Biology and Chemistry Clubs were merged to form the Science Club. Its main objectives are to increase our knowledge of sci- ence and to understand the importance of science in our lives. These things we hope to accomplish by carrying out the program of the Science Clubs of America. At the meetings, students perform and ex- plain various experiments. Following lectures by instructors, Mr. Lehman and Mr. Bealor, discussion periods were held. In addition to this, the club made two field trips: one to the Corning Glass Works of Corn- ing, New York, the other to the Sunbury Com- munity Hospital. To inform the alumni of Sunbury High School and the local residents of the many activities throughout the school and the out- standing events which occurred during the school year was the purpose of the Owl’s Comer column which appeared in the Sunbury Daily Item. The articles that appeared under this column were written by six permanent re- porters who were advised by Mrs. Theo- dosia Hoffman. Accounts of the classroom activities such as the literature being read in English class were often given, as well as the renovations in the school, which in- cluded the addition of the Language Lab- oratory and the introduction of several grade school students to languages through a special course in this laboratory. Once a survey was made to poll the students’ opin- ions on the scheduling of examinations, and several new teachers were also wel- comed to our school through the year.

The audience went wild as the Islanders rocked and rolled to the song “Walk Don’t Run.” Nj A K I N The houselights dimmed, the audience became quiet, and the curtains parted to make way for the Third Annual Student Variety Show held December 5. Ap- proximately nine hundred persons, students and adults, were in attendance at the Radio Club’s presentation. Following a modern Jazz Production, Dan Paulnock, master of ceremonies, introduced the show’s twenty-two acts. The highlight of the all-student production was a combo. The Islanders. Larry Gebhardt, John Shipe, Roger Lark, and Ron Leddon played popular rock and roll instrumentals. Five vocal selections were presented by Sandra Her- rold, Carl Shingara, Karen Sears, Irene Wagner, and Anna Tsicoli. Anna, the foreign exchange student of 1960-1961, made her debut singing a song in her native Greek language. During the program, Gary Bloom, Debbie Smith, Mary Jo Bzdil and Diane Porter performed dance num- bers. Gary presented an interpretation of a Buddhist Worshipper wearing a costume that he created, and Mary Jo did a difficult Russian folk dance. The Swan Lake Ballet included Bonnie Grady, Sue Smith, and Diane Porter encouraging the less able Sandy Leeser in this humorous scene. A moving rendition of “Swan Lake” as depicted by Sue Smith, starring Sandy Leeser and narrated by our con- noisseur of fine art Becky Smith. 76 Diane Porter and Gary Bloom open the show with a fast-moving jitterbug accompanied by a bevy of high school starletts. SHOW - I960 Later, after Miss Becky Smith had presented her interpretation of Swan Lake, Debbie Smith and Gary Bloom gave an impressive performance of classical ballet. Lending an instrumental note to the show, a piano duet, Rhapsody in Blue by Gershwin, was played by Merdyth Shipman and Phyllis Shoch. Three vocal se- lections, including “I Believe,” “Jingle Bells,” and “The Big Brown Bear,” were sung by the girls’ chorus, di- rected by Mrs. Jean Harner. Dan Paulnock and Bonnie Grady gave their version of a vaudeville song-and-dance act. Sanford Orkin, pro- duction manager, stepped out from behind the scenes to do two humorous monologues.

A performance for the fifth and sixth grade students was given on the afternoon of February twenty-second. The play was centered around the Mintons, a typical, upper-middle class, suburban family. Mr. Minton was only the figurative head of the family until the last act when he finally took the control from his wife, with the help of Grandmother Thornton. Grandmother Thornton, a young-at-heart, seventy-seven year old lady, managed to help everyone when she came to visit her family. She not only convinced Mrs. Minton that she should listen to her husband, but she aided Diana in her efforts to get her boyfriend to propose, bought Jerry a dress for the spring dance, and allowed Scoots to train her frog for the jump- ing contest. Scoots, an irrepressible nine-year-old seemed to get into more mischief than any two little girls. From leaving her frog in her father’s humidor to scaring away the widowed neigh- bor, Mrs. Tyler, she was always on the go. As the final curtain came down all mem- bers of the cast rushed onto the stage to help Grandma. As Diana said, “Yes,” to Tom’s pro- posal of marriage, Grandma had fainted, and was wheeled out to the others by Scoots. The action all occurred in the living room of the Minton home, a set achieved through the efforts of Nancy Strawser and Maxine Gerstein. The girls painted the scenery, hung the curtains, and covered the fireplace. The results of their labor was a very realistic room similar to many homes of today.

Behind good blocking, the D.H.S. backfield proved too much for the Owls. Seeking revenge for a last year reversal, a high-spirited Sunbury eleven downed the Selinsgrove Seals, 12—7. The Owls tallied once in the first quarter when George Hoffman scored on the “Statue of Liberty” play. In the last quarter fullback John Yagel found a hole in the Seals’ defense and sprinted 60 yards for the final T.D. 3,500 fans saw the Owls outclassed in all departments by a mighty Berwick eleven. Fine running by Yagel and Balestrini set up Yagel’s 2-yard plunge to paydirt. The much heavier Bulldogs rolled up 41 points to Sunbury’s 6. The speedy Crimson of Pottsville registered a 25—0 victory over the hard-fighting Owls. Outplayed throughout the game, the Owls never gave up. Captain Charlie Rabuck led the Sunbury entry well both offensively and defensively. A power-packed Coal Township eleven blitzed the Blue and White, 34-—7. A 4-yard run and a kicked extra point, both by halfback Mike Strawser, amounted to the only S.H.S. scoring. in 60 The traditional clash between the Northumberland Pineknotters and the Owls ended in a 19—6 victory for Sunbury. A 59-yard drive climaxed by a 3-yard plunge to paydirt by Terry Furman and a drive-climaxing T.D. pass from Strawser to Balestrini saved the day. A 45-yard runback by George Hoffman of an intercepted aerial added the third six pointer. Gary Bailey’s conversion was good. The Owls lost a hard-fought battle to the Mounties of Hazelton, 19—6. Fighting all the way against a 30 pound per man deficit, Sunbury drove for 56 yards and the only S.H.S. tally, a 15 yard pass from Strawser to Oshetski. During Homecoming the Blue and White dropped a heartbreaker to Milton’s Black Panthers, 24—19. Receiving the opening kick, the Owls climaxed a fine drive with a Balestrini jump-pass finding George Hoffman alone in the end zone. The other markers came on runs of 22 and 4 yards by Lewis. Carl Shingara plunged for an extra point. Driving rain and a muddy field set the stage for the Shamokin Greyhounds upset of the Owls, 19—0. A rock-ribbed Sunbury de- fensive unit gave no ground to the heavier rivals, but the Maroon and Grey were too powerful through the air lanes. The high-scoring Red Tornadoes of Mt. Carmel were held to only 13 points by a tough Owl defense in their 13—0 victory over the Blue and White. The speedy Mt. Carmel backs made the difference in a whale of a defensive tussle.

Three Coins in a Fountain From its central position, with dignity and poise, stood the singularly majestic fountain. The mystic spray of its azure waters provided an authentic atmosphere of “Three Coins in a Fountain” for the 1960 Junior-Senior Prom. With each lightly-tossed coin was a wish. First blessed were the coins of Joan Duttinger and Denny Shaffer as they were crowned queen and king of this Roman scene. Good fortune from the magical fountain showered upon the couple throughout their reign of royalty. As the final strains of the good-night song streamed through the enchanted evening, each romanticist locked to him- self the hope of the theme: “Which coin will the fountain bless? Make it mine . . . make it mine . .. Make it MINE!” Queen Joan and King Denny dance for their Roman subjects in the colossal splendor in- spired by the theme. Their coins chosen for honor, Queen Joan Duttinger and King Denny Shaffer receive their crowns from attendants Sharon Crites, William Boyer, Mary Jo Bzdil, Nancy Strawser, and band-director Johnny Nicolosi. At all costs, fix the fountain! George Hoffman is supervised by Pat Geiser, Sandy Zimmerman, Bill Boyer, and Ron Martz. Who will receive the glorious gift of royalty? 105 Graceful and statuesque is this bevy of beauties. The win- ners are Melanie Geiser (sophomore), Sharon Watson (senior), Queen Sharon of 1960, Queen Connie of 1959, Mary Jo Bzdil (senior), and Linda DeVine (junior). The ladies are attended by flower girl, LuAnn Rebuck, and crown-bearer, Chris Boyle. Through the symbols of fame come Queen Sharon and her escort Charles Rabuck. Homecoming Through the long, uneventful morning and half the afternoon, we toiled diligently over our studies. Anticipation hovered as an invisible ghost throughout the school and mounted steadily as the hour of Homecoming drew near; at last came the time of the special assembly. Parallel to expectations, we found the gymnasium regal in decoration and decorum. The entrance of the attendants with their proud escorts was a distinguished march of beauty; then entered the queen. Her Majesty, Sharon Crites, graced the area as she passed before the crowd, accompanied by football-captain, Charles Rabuck. The royal crown was bestowed upon her by Connie Snyder, queen of 1959. Queen Sharon’s subjects then responded to a pep rally led by her fellow-cheerleaders, and the festivities were completed — for the day. In the evening, the queen and her court presided over a hard-fought Sunbury-Milton game. Providing an appropriate ending to the holiday was a dance in honor of the Sunbury Homecoming representatives.

Seniors of Sixty-one As the final school sessions of 1960 approached, the seniors of sixty-one prepared for their year. As- suming immediate leadership were William Boyer, Susan Pope, Nancy Strawser, and Sharon Crites (Class Officers), Judy Johnston of the TORCH, Karen Zimmerman editing the SCHOOL TIMES, and Daniel Paulnock, Sandra Zimmerman and Ray- mond Klinger as heads of the Student Council. The summer streamed with activity, and September ushered in a year of potential and production. Rating recognition during the autumn were such scholastically significant events as the Merit Schol- arship Honors to Bonnie Grady, Lynn Moyer, James Haworth, and Tony Markunas, and the United Na- tions’ Awards to Karen Zimmerman, Christine Gill, William Boyer, and Raymond Klinger. Introduced to Sunbury school-life was Anna Tsicoli, the exchange student from the island of Crete; Anna’s effervescent personality equally matched the sparkling fall weather. A nostalgic note crept into this activated period, however, as the traditional Sunbury- Northumberland football rivalry drew to its termina- tion. Winter’s cold brought only an extra addition of steam-heat. Gymnasium sports, holiday festivities, and the senior class play blazed warmth into the building, and only mid-term examinations could cast a seasonal chill through the school. Miss Linda Coleman was cited for individual achievement in receiving the D.A.R. Citizenship Award. Next entered the sensa- tional spring session. Most outstanding in the hearts of the seniors were their last high school prom and graduation. A momentous chapter of life has been completed for the seniors of sixty-one, and a tear accompanies the smile of remembrance of the events which are now memories.

Typicals (alias Denny Snyder and Dave Stro- heckcr) on their way to their respective home- rooms to prepare for another one of those invigorat- ing, stimulating Mondays. O.K. Fran Ray, so you think you know what your un- known is; take it up get it checked. You see what happened to Renee Downs, don’t you? See, she just got her fourth solution! Steve Zeigler and Larry Ditty watch the whole procedure nonchalantly. A Typical Monday morning is a deplorable weekly occasion for students and teachers alike, but particularly for the students. Let us follow A Typical Senior, a typical senior, through an eventful day, any day, of his last year in high school. Our “victim” is first seen dashing in the main door of our school on his way to his locker. Was that the second bell? Better break up this jam session and get to the homeroom. After spending a very restless period of waiting for those all too unnecessary announce- ments to end, A. Typical inquires as to when the next vacation is. You’d think everyone would want to keep posted on such important dates like that. Honestly, that poor homeroom teacher is probably the most ill-informed per- son in the school — outside of the students of course. Now in the chem lab for a double period, our subject is seen unlocking his cupboard and taking out a test tube of an “unknown solu- tion.” If we listen carefully, we can hear him muttering to himself: “How do I know if I’ve found it, when I didn’t know what I was look- ing for in the first place?” The discovery of the identity of this “unknown” is usually ac- complished through a rather general method known as “bucket analysis.” After a very frustrating period in the lab, Senior Day Mr. Senior retires — acid burns and all — to an invigorating gym session. Tired and possibly still not yet awake, he takes a shower and then procedes to his lunch group. Although not completely uninterested in food, A. Typical must divide his time between eating and talking in order to catch-up on all the latest gossip accumulated over the busy weekend. Excitement aids the digestion, and there’s never a dull moment in any of the lunch groups. Later in the afternoon we catch up with A. Typical as he enters one of the day’s most stimulating classes, Problems of Democracy. Life has not been lax since we left our friend at the lunch room, and his knowledge is bub- bling over so violently that he just has to “spread the word’’ to his classmates. After being rudely interrupted by the instructor with a question, he decided to relax and let his luncheon digest. Unfortunately this didn’t work either as another question is fired in his direction. At last, saved by the bell! The last time we meet with A. Typical Sen- ior is late — very late — in the evening. De- tention, meetings, games well in hand, our hard working friend now has half a chance to really get down to the business of the day. Golly Gee, do you think college will be all this over again? Research in the public li- brary follows a theme assign- ment. Trying to figure out how to use the Reader’s Guide is usually more diffi- cult than getting the ma- terial! “Oh no, not another one!’’ This is what A. Typical probably exclaimed as he walked into this class today. Notes greatly aid the social aspect of school and help to develop the well-rounded individual. Mitzi Gerstcin and Linda Gearhart seem to agree with this theory.
