Sunbury High School - Torch Yearbook (Sunbury, PA)

Text from Pages 1 - 124 of the 1962 volume:

foreword A high school yearbook is published for three main pur- poses, one of which is the educational value it has for the students who plan it. The editorial staff studies layout standards, photographic quality, and all types of writing, while the business staff gains experience in business pro- cedure. Also, the yearbook is to record the people, places, and things which distinguish this school year from all others. To make this record complete, every avenue of school life must be investigated thoroughly and set down in words and pictures. Finally, the yearbook should serve as a memory book which will recall the happy times spent in the classroom, on the athletic field, in the auditorium, or on the dance floor. It should renew old acquaintances by means of its pictures of the faculty and the students. In preparing this volume, the 1962 TORCH staff has kept these three goals in mind. The first has been ful- filled just by doing the work. Whether or not the remain- ing two have been attained is for the reader and time to decide. If ten or twenty years from now, leafing through these pages brings a vivid picture of this school year to each reader’s mind, then these last two purposes will have been realized. l Administration p. 5 Faculty and Classes p. 15 Organizations p. 29 Athletics Published Annually by the SENIOR CLASS of SUNBURY AREA SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL Sunbury, Pennsylvania Volume 43 May, 1962 2 dedica' ion We, the members of the class of 1962, have been influenced by many people in our senior high years; but there is one teacher who undoubtedly has had a greater effect on the way we think and act than any other individual. When we were sophomores, she improved our use of our native tongue and instilled in us an appreciation of our literary heritage. Through her friendly encouragement as our class adviser, we have successfully com- pleted many projects which added both to our education and to the enjoyment of our years of high school. She also has guided many of us in our career plans by her helpful advice to the Future Teachers of America. As the mother of one of our classmates, she possesses a keen awareness of the prob- lems we face as teenagers; and she always has been ready with solutions. For her cheerful guidance and willingness to help each student, the class of 1962 appreciatively dedicates its TORCH to MRS. EVELYN PICTON. As a teacher of English X, Mrs. Picton prepares to dictate exercises to sopho - mores, Harry Hummel and Karen Glace. 4 adinisratai Boards Set Policy for Conduct of Schools, Sunbury City Raymond F.

Cafeteria Provides Varied Meals The cafeteria system, a nonprofit organization, was adopted in Sunbury High School in 1959. Since that time methods have expanded, a more efficient staff has been developed, and the general variety and quality of meals have improved under Manager Mrs. Margaret Libby and Mrs. Virginia Carodiskey, the head cook and co-ordinator of cafeteria functions. If all lunches meet rigid requirements as to con- tent, costs for each student's meal can be supple- mented by a government reimbursement. All sanitary precautions, including clean apparel for the cooks and daily scrubbing of the entire cafeteria, are applied in the preparation and serving of food. P. T. A. Unites Parents and Teachers The theme upon which the Parent-Teacher Association based its 1961-62 programs was Our Challenges; Our Responsibilities. A successful year was achieved by outstanding co-operation among the more than 200 members. Through planned programs at monthly meetings, the P.T.A. attempts to promote a better under- standing between parents and teachers. The organi- zation also helps the school by donating money toward scholarship bonds and awards. OFFICERS: Mrs. Martha Neitz, treasurer; Mrs. Virginia Carodiskey, president; Mrs. Bette Rhoades, vice-president; and Mrs. Mary Valentine, secretary. Library Serves Students in Many Ways Librarian Mrs. Hoffman shows Julie Hummel how to use the READERS' GUIDE TO PERIODICAL LITERATURE. Under the qualified supervision of Mrs. Betty Hoffman, the high school library provides a variety of services. An accurate card catalog aids the stu- dent in selecting and finding books. More than 4000 volumes, many of which are recent editions, are provided in fiction, biography, and all areas of non- fiction. A large section of shelves is devoted to encyclopedias, dictionaries, and other reference materials; and al- most 100 current magazines and news- papers are available at all times. Also at hand, to buy or to borrow, are many classical novels in paperback form . These paperback selections must meet strict standards of both popularity and literary value, before they are of- fered for sale. In addition, a spacious showcase and a bulletin board are pro- vided for unusual displays or information of interest to students and teachers. This year the library added an addi- tional service to S.H.S. students in giving special instruction in the use of library facilities to the sophomore English classes.

English, Speech, and Journalism Instill Appreciation of Written and Spoken Word The purpose of the English depart- ment is to develop clarity and effective- ness of language and thought through ample opportunity for expression of ideas in writing and speaking. The study of literature is designed to promote life- time reading interests for the enrichment of the students' lives. In addition, a journalism course is offered for students interested in advanced composition. Directly related to the development of language usage, the speech classes of Mr. James Doty attempt to improve fun- damental voice processes, poise, self- assurance, and other characteristics necessary for acceptable public speaking. In journalism Miss Fernsler indi- cates various type cltaracters that are difficult to distinguish. 20 Social Studies Courses Give Students Background for Life in Modern Society The central objective of the social studies department is to familiarize the student with basic problems of the past and present in order to mold sound, in- telligent, and well-adjusted citizens of the future. Specific subjects cultivate the understanding and appreciation of goals and contributions of other peoples, develop faith in democracy and the role of each citizen, amplify critical thinking and analytical reasoning, and strengthen study and work habits. The lecture, question-answer method of teaching is employed, with additional aid provided by reports, maps, and films. Sociology helps young people gain perspective on life adjustment through the understanding of themselves and others. Class discussions and reports include problems that confront young people of today in school, marriage, and family situations. During a current world problems lecture, Mr. Amerman indicates the areas of the world presently controlled by Communism. avtaytiAi BWBARIan bvun� to u, 6M S Dr. Derr points out to a Problems of Democ- racy class that the former U.S. territory Alaska, was a leader in old age pensions. Mr. Thurston offers a suggestion to a Sociology group, discussing the problems of teenage marriages. 21 Mathematics and Science Develop Reasoning Powers with Abstract and Concrete Ideas Sunbury High School offers elemen- tary and advanced courses in the chemi- cal, biological, and physical sciences . Generally, the science department at- tempts to develop in the student an awareness of fundamental laws, methods, and processes which compose the every- day organisms and occurrences in his natural environment. Basic principles are presented and applied by means of films, laboratory experiments, and scientific equipment. In the courses of the mathematics department, students review basic op- erations and discover applications of mathematical processes and principles to life situations. Students learn to think clearly, reason deductively, and draw sound conclusions. Geometric solids, graphs, and scaled constructions are employed by teachers in reaching their goals. Advanced courses are also available for interested students. ABOVE: Mr. Drick takes an inventory of available chemicals for an upcoming labo- ratory experiment.

Health and Physical Education Department Aims for Well-balanced Minds and Bodies The health and physical education department strives to develop strong, healthy minds, bodies, and emotions . The rigorous athletic program includes gymnastics, tumbling, and various team sports. Many classroom activities in- volve a thorough study of the human body, disease, and proper first-aid care. Sunbury schools, along with nineteen other schools in the state, took part in a physical fitness program during the year. A series of tests was given to students in the high school with a follow- up program for the purpose of improving the physical standard of each participant. The results of these tests were recorded in Harrisburg and Washington. Mr. Auten simplifies the functions of the circulatory system for a sophomore health class. m w 23 Business and Vocational Departments ABOVE: Mr. Wirt provides individual aid to a class of Business Mathematics. LEFT: Mrs. Hatton indicates proper finger position on a chart of the typewriter keyboard. Basic office skills and operations are taught in the business courses. The curriculum is divided into sec- retarial and accounting classifications. Speed and accuracy are stressed in typing and shorthand. Fun- damental calculation, good salesmanship, and book- keeping are essential subjects. Certain subjects are also designed to benefit students not going into the business field, but entering college or other profes- sional work. Bill Marks and Jayne App observe, as Miss Reichley explains correct procedure in operating a duplicating machine. Prepare Students for Specific Fields Students observe in the Carpentry Shop, as Mr. Hill accurately measures a current sophomore pro- ject, a taboret. The vocational department is divided into five sections: Ag- riculture, Auto Mechanics, Carpentry, Drafting, and Machine. This course endeavors to develop the necessary skills and tech- nologies for future vocations by the student's working with the actual tools of each trade. Courses include both the study of theories, processes, and methods, as well as the application of learned principles through diligent practice under experienced supervision with standard machinery and materials.

ABOVE: An enthusiastic French class observes as Miss Shipe ex- plains the intricate operation of the language lab's control panel. Foreign Languages Strengthen Understanding of Distant Peoples and Cultures Three general purposes are encouraged by the foreign languages department: the ability to speak a language, the ability to write a language, and to obtain a knowledge of the culture and customs of the people of whom the language is the native tongue. Study of grammar and vocabulary are of utmost importance. The language laboratory with tapes and recordings has become an essential in- strument of learning. French class activities include studying phonetic symbols, participating in French games, and read- ing French newspapers and magazines. Miss Shipe also teaches French to a class of elementary stu- dents. German stresses class conversation and, later, study of German literature. Knowledge of word der- ivations acquired from reading legendary Latin myths proves helpful with vocabulary words in many other subjects. Because of the extensive studies and worldwide travels of Mr. Nesline, Spanish class is enlivened by humorous tales, singing, exhibits, and an annual Christmas party. ............ - • -- ------ ■ LEFT: Mr. Nesline relates a humorous incident involving a Mexi- can serape which he acquired during one of his many trips to foreign lands.

V Fine and Graphic Arts Promote Adaptation of Creative Talents to Daily Situations Audrey Zimmerman aids Mr. Muhleman in opera- ting the folding machine in Industrial Arts Shop. Mr. Shoener helps Fred Rohrbach and Pete Ruskavich prepare a color - value chart during Art I class. Electives in the curriculum, fine and graphic arts, provide students with a general background in art and the opportunity to use their creative abilities in everyday life. The art classes are designed to enable the stu- dent to explore various methods and technics of sculpture, ceramics, paper mache, and other artis- tic fields. The relationship between art and life is demonstrated by research, background studies, lec- tures, and films. Industrial, or graphic, arts endeavors to discover individual skills and to provide a basis for potential careers. Future hobbies and worthwhile pastimes may be developed from studies of design, construc- tion, and layout of printed materials. Other projects include silkscreening, book-binding, and linoleum block cutting. Home Economics Classes Acquire Practical Tips on Home and Child Care Home economics is designed to in- spire the student with an appreciation of the art of homemaking. In a domestic atmosphere the girls learn basic funda- mentals of family relations, child care, clothing and textiles, consumer buying, housing, and culinary art. Mrs. Forsyth displays to a home economics class an oil painting, a skillful home pro- ject by Rosalie Hilscher. Driver Education Builds Safe, Experienced Motorists Driver education is available as both theory and roadwork. Classroom in- struction is designed to acquaint students with safe driving rules, responsibilities of drivers, and care and functions of the car. Goals are approached by studying the state's vehicle code and learner's manual and by testing vision and reac- tion time with various machines. Road work consists of eighteen hours of actual behind-the-wheel instruction to prepare each student for his operator's examin- ation. 28 Mr. McEntire searches for the cause of mechanical difficulty beneath the hotxhof the Driver Training Road car. Members of the Dramatics Club cheer a former football team at the Homecoming Assembly. Amateur Thespians Present Skits Poise, confidence, and personality development were the aims of the newly-organized Dramatics Club. Co-advisers, Mr. Robert Lehman and Mr. Trevor Lewis, prepared the fifty club members for public ap pearances by giving them tips on characterization and voice projection. Then the club made its debut at the Homecoming ceremony with a skit repre- senting the reunion of a typical high school football team ten years after graduation. At the Christmas assembly five Dramatics Club members presented a short dramatization of the Christmas spirit, entitled A Sign Unto You.

SHS Chorus Provides Vocal Entertainment for School and Community The fifty-two girls of the S.H.S. Chorus brought musical entertainment to both the school and the community and instilled in their audiences a greater appreciation of choral artistry. Their first major appearance was in the Radio Club's Variety Show in which many Chorus members presented duets, solos, and pantomimes, in addition to their singing as a group. A week before the holiday vacation began, the Chorus presented its Christmas Concert in conjunction with the Junior High Chorus. The Chorus also participated in a fashion show, the P.T.A. Christmas program, a P.S.E.A. card party, the Christmas meeting of the Golden Age Club, a Business Women's Association dinner, and a com- munity service at the Zion Lutheran Church.

Here, eleven varsity players work out a play on the practice field. Hard Practice and Team Effort Pay Off The Owls, under the direction of Head Coach Richard Purnell and his aides, worked hard from the initial practice on August 18 to assemble one of the finer squads in recent Sunbury history. Their record illustrates that from the start they were a formidable opponent, not to be taken lightly. Quarterback Mike Strawser's aerial blitz headed the offensive attack for the Blue and White. The outstanding running of two senior halfbacks, Leo Balestrini, who led the team in scoring with fifty- four markers, and Todd Lewis, balanced the team's offensive thrust, as did the brilliant execution of the triple reverse in key situations. Winning the Class AA Northumberland County title, the '61 Owls scored an over-all total of 160 points to 98 points for the opposition, reflecting due credit upon a stalwart defense. Quarterback Mike Strawser scampers for the Owls' third T.D. in the Homecoming contest against Shamokin. Baby Owls Triumph The Thurston-Lewis coached Baby Owls opened their 1961 football season against the Red Tornados of Mt. Carmel. The game ended in a deadlock in which both defensive units sparkled. Seeking a win in this newly started season, the Sunbury JV’s triumphed over the Bloomsburg JV's. At Berwick the Berwick Baby Bulldogs scored a quick touchdown and staved off Sunbury the rest of the way. The following week Danville scored in every period but the last and rolled over the Baby Owls. Traveling to Selins- grove, the defensive unit of Sunbury dominated play, while y Sunbury s offensive scored after a 60-yard drive and on a pass from the quarterback to his fullback. Ending their season in a winning way, the Baby Owls enter- tained the Baby Panthers of Milton, a game in which of- fensive and defensive units played well. Sunbury scored on long drives.

Although smaller than most teams in the league, the Owls displayed ample hustle, spirit, and determi- nation--qualities which build teams of caliber. Team captain Leo Balestrini, one of the finest cagers to wear the blue and white in many seasons, and his running mate, Mike Strawser, accounted for the bulk of the scoring, collecting better than sixty per cent of the markers. Todd Lewis, a scrappy senior, played many excellent floor games and ball-hawked well. In charge of clearing the boards of the all-important rebounds were Fred Kelly and Jimmy Dockey, who proved to be more than worthy opponents for the often taller opposition. Stan Oshetski and Dave Duke contrib- uted to both the Owls' offensive and defensive thrust. In addition, Mike Brown, Carol Shingara, Mike Rice, Lamar Fetterman, Dan Ney, Carol Bidelspach, David Fenstermacher, John Hine, and Steve Treon played their parts in establishing a fine varsity record, although they did not take part in the entire season. The Owls made sixty-two per cent of their foul shots and seventy-five per cent of their attempted field goals for an above-par season's average.

The junior and senior high school choruses joined to present, in song, both the humorous and the serious aspects of the holiday sea- son. The day before vacation began, the music de- partment and the Dramatics Club celebrated the season with an assembly. Highlights were the short play, A Sign Unto You, depicting the Christmas spirit, and the group-singing of the entire student body, led by Music Supervisor Charles Coleman. Later, on the evening of December 27, the music department brought together former band students for an Alumni Concert, followed by a reception in the cafeteria. Dancing also played its part in the festivities. The day after Christmas the Key Club featured The Glentones at its annual, semi-formal Snow Ball at the Sunbury Social Club; and on December 30 the Student Council presented Pete Gabriel from station WKOK and The Islanders at an informal record dance in the high school gym. In the Christmas assembly skit, Dramatics Club members, Cathy Weaver, Melvin Rakerd, Alverta Scholl, Steve Treon, and Joyce Vought, portrayed the Christmas gathering of the Halloway family. In this scene Father Halloway attempts to convince his son to give up his ministry in the slums and serve in a respectable church. Even the windows in the cafeteria have the Christmas spirit, thanks to the Art Department. When a ragged newsboy seeking Rev. Halloway col- lapses in the Halloway living room, the four callous Halloways are ignited by the spark of the Christmas spirit; and they pitch in to help minister unto him. fS studen acu aame Back in uniform on January 30, the Hatton- coached faculty team of 1962 bowed to the seniors.

This sad truth was discovered by our class on a November day in 1959 when death reached Raymond Davis Gasull, a member of the class and a part of our hearts. Raymie, only sixteen years of age at the time of death, was a familiar sight to his classmates. His black crewcut and friendly smile were often noticed among the faces at activities. To the memory of Raymie, whose death brought heartfelt grief to the class of 1962, this space is dedicated. 94 President John Hine asks the opinion of Class Adviser Mr. Delp, during a meeting of the junior class officials in- cluding Secretary Rita Nagle and Vice-president Janis Troutman.

The '62 edition of the Owls' baseball team prepared for its season with fundamental drills in the gym and moved outside as soon as the weather permitted. Coach Carl McEntire worked diligently with his proteges in order to field a squad which would represent S.H.S. well at each outing. Among the returning lettermen were utility-man Fred Kelly, outfielders Ed Messner and Bill Kistner, and catcher Mike Strawser, one of the bet- ter catchers in the Susquehanna League Underclassmen formed the bulk of the team; and their fine performance fore- tells good records in the near future. Baseball and Track Usher in Spring Mr. Robert Lehman, top with co-coach Mr. Louden- berg (right), held the first coaching position of his career as assistant track and field coach. While at- tending S.H.S., he participated in three years of wrestling and in intramural sports. In the army he engaged in track and baseball. At the helm of the '62 baseball squad was Mr. Carl McEntire (above). At Sayre, Pennsylvania, he played four years of high school football and basketball, and three years of baseball. He has also played football at Mansifled State College, in the service, and in semi-pro competition. Mr. McEntire has coached football and basketball in Baltimore, Mary- land, and Northumberland. In Sunbury he has been assistant football coach for seven years and head baseball coach for two years.

In total performance in the meet Milton placed first, Sunbury second, and Selinsgrove third. and the Beginning of the End With Mr. Robert Lehman and his aid Mr. Jack Loudenberg directing them, the 1962 S.H.S. trackmen collected five wins in their eight dual-or - triangular meet season. The returning senior letter men in- cluded speedster Jesse James, distance runner Ron Ray, and fieldmen Dan Ney and Mike Shuck. One of the more prominent features of the '62 season was the outstanding performance of the 880 yards and mile relay teams. Their presence was felt as they gathered needed points to spur the team to victory. 107 One of the highlights of the 1962 track season was the Susquehanna Valley track and field meet in which seven schools participated. Milton placed first, Sunbury third. LEFT: Dan Ney positions his javelin, taking a second place in that event. During the meet Ney also took a first place in the shot put.

Included is a record of the sports in which each boy participated during his final year of high school competition. They are indicated as follows: Football (F), Basketball (B), Wrestling (W), Track (T), and Baseball (Ba). Edward Messner (Ba) William Moyer (Ba) Daniel Ney (F)(T) Stanley Oshetski (F) (B) Melvin Rakerd (W) Ronald Ray (F) (T) Fernando da Rocha (T) Richard Rothermel (T) Wesley Rothermel (B)(Ba) Carl Shingara (F) Michael Shuck (T) Michael Strawser (F) (B) (Ba) Robert Troutman (T) Daniel Wingard (T) The three-act comedy, Life of the Party, by Marrijane and Joseph Hayes denotes the life of a typical American family. Mr. and Mrs. Hughes (Mike Shuck and Mary Nuna- maker), trying to adjust to life in a new community, are confronted with the trials of raising a love-struck family. Amy (Rae Fink), their youngest daughter and a rowdy cheerleader, experiences her first case of puppy love when she meets bashful Snazzy Mitchell (Melvin Rakerd) on her living room couch (TOP). Spruce Teddy (Leo Balestrini), in just a short time, has asked three girls to the prom, and is quite surprised by the unexpected appear- ance of Sally Frazier (Lanee Shipe), Teddy's best girl in the town from which they have moved. The oldest daughter, Mildred, falls for the banker's haughty son, Charles Collier (Jim Rothermel). The plot centers around homely Jean Hughes (Lou Ann Whitmer), who, under the illusion that she is in love with smooth-talking Mike Tisdale (Todd Lewis), unknowingly agrees to be the hostess of Mike's post-prom party. Mike's girlfriend, Ruth Coates (Cheryl Erd- man), becomes quite jealous. The tension mounts between Jean and Ruth over who is to get Mike and between Mike and Tommy King (John Reichenbach) over who is to have Jean. The night of the prom, both Mike and Tommy are surprised when Jean flings off her glasses and her backwardness and be- comes the life of the party (CENTER). The party gets out of hand; and Walter Lipscomb (William Shaffer), the policeman, appears. The next morning, as the family recovers, Tommy, Mike, and Ruth happen by. Tommy is delighted when Jean asks him to go to the library with her. Mike and Ruth settle their differences and begin speaking to each other once again. As Sally Frazier bids the family good-oy (BOTTOM), Teddy decides that she's the one for him and drives her to the station with the promise that he will be faithful. Behind the scenes seventeen seniors worked industri - ously. The stage and lighting crew, Fred Faust, Richard Nesbit, Robert Fetter, Tom Gass, Carl Shin- gara, John Ditty, and Jack Felix, constructed the set, provided sound effects, and handled the lighting. Prompters Linda Bartholomew, Karen Kerstetter, and Marie Scheller located themselves by doors and windows to cue the actors on stage. At right, the make-up crew, Dian Coleman, Cindy Notestine, Linda DeVine, Sandy Leeser, Bonnie Baker Judy Snyder, and Ginger Simonson (missing from pic- ture), put finishing touches on members of the cast. Ex-queen Sharon Watson and Linda DeVine, 1962 May Queen, are motored around the track of the SHS Stadium, as visitors from all Sun- bury pay homage.

BELOW: Competition is keen as Hill School students engage in a heated tug-of-war, coached by Mr. Lewis Rovenolt. Also featured on the program, in keeping with the physical fitness theme, were re- lay races, hula and square dances, precision drill, calisthenics, rope jumping, and tumbling. Mr. Ronald Bushick served as general co-ordinator of all the many phases of production involved in the All- Schools May Day. 1962 MAY QUEEN AND HER COURT: Mary Nunamaker, Diane Mackrella, Peggy Rhodes, Alverta Scholl, Sandra Leeser, Queen Linda DeVine, Sharon Watson, Betty Snyder, Judy Snyder, Lou Ann Whitmer, Sandra Herrold, and Cindy Notestine.

SENIOR SOCIAL EVENTS With the year's end came a busy social calendar for the seniors. The social event of the season, Prom night, was a Rhapsody in Blue. From the romantic cafe setting on the gym stage to the clef-decorated bandstand across the dance floor, blue and purple geometric designs added a touch of elegance to the evening. At the Post-Prom Party the Silver- Haired Archers provided four hours of swing sound, while the guests twisted all over the place. A week later for the first time SHS seniors had an afternoon and evening all to themselves. After old-time movies and a special luncheon, they retired to the auditorium for the presentation of some rather dubious awards, the class pro- phecy, and the class song written by Sandy Herrold. The afternoon ended with each parting senior receiving a bright red rose. In the evening the seniors attended the annual dinner-dance at American Legion Post 201. The Senior Day committee in charge of awards” thought it quite a pity that anyone should be seventeen and never kissed, so they awarded Mike Shuck a kiss from a Hollywood star (Emily Benner). Janice Wilhour gleefully watches him accept his prize. SCHOLASTIC HONORS AND AWARDS The year's end also brought recognition to many seniors for their outstanding achievements during high school years. Ten seniors were accorded the highest honor available to a Sunbury student when they were added to the membership of the National Honor Society. Their selection was based on the qualities of scholarship, leadership, character, and service. To honor the new members of the Society, the Edison Hotel gave a banquet in their honor. After a sumptuous meal, the members were delighted at the surprised look on the face of Mr. Nesline when he During the National Honor Society installation cere- mony, Leon Clayberger lights the traditional symbol of education, the torch, held by Fred Kelly. Mr. Nesline, adviser, observes at right. learned that the Sunbury chapter had re- ceived the title THE GEORGE B. NESLINE CHAPTER OF THE NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY in honor of his thirty years as adviser. An inspiring speech by Attorney Michael Kivko followed.
