Sunbury High School - Torch Yearbook (Sunbury, PA)

Text from Pages 1 - 124 of the 1963 volume:

Foreword The class of 1963 is coming to the end of its secondary education. Through- out high school we have molded our characters' through our efforts in class and extra-curricular activities. From our experiences we have absorbed, formed, and used ideas in a way corresponding to the times. In the same manner also we have at- tempted to publish a yearbook which cor- responds to an era of multi-orbital space flights, miracle drugs, and world peace forums. We have sought to modernize and simplify without sacrificing the pur- pose of the volume. It is the hope of the Class of 1963 that this annual will serve its reader as a reminder of the period of his life in which he formed his future. THE TORCH FOR ’63 Published Annually by the Senior Class of Sunbury Area Senior High School Sunbury, Pennsylvania Volume XL1V May 1963 of Contents GRADUATES.....Page 6 JUNIORS.......Page 36 SOPHOMORES----Page 39 EDUCATORS.....Page 42 ACTIVITIES....Page 58 ATHLETICS.....Page 76 FEATURES......Page 90 SUPPLEMENT .... Page 101 We, the Class of 1963, are proud to dedicate our yearbook to a teacher who in his many years of service to Sunbury High School has demonstrated a number of admirable character traits. His frankness of expression and will to educate were exhibited to us in our first year of high-school. As he taught us the principles of his subject, he also advised us on matters of daily life. He kept abreast of new developments in his science and in modern teaching methods. Now as 1963 comes to an end, we seniors take this opportunity to pay a debt to a man who has made a great impression upon the members of our class. We therefore respectfully dedicate The Torch for 1963 to MR. WILLIAM E. VAN HORN, teacher and friend. 6 m %mwm GRADUATES 1963 8 LORRAINE KAY ACKER Advanced College Preparatory Artist par excellence . . . winning and warm smile . thinks for herself . . . pleasing to the eye.

The “heads of State” conferring on the top issues of the Class of “63” are Vice-president David Keefer, President John Hine, Secretary Mary Alice Hoff- man, Treasurer Eleanor Matheson, and Adviser Mr. Russell Delp. For the past three years the Class of 1963 has come to regard Mr. Russell Delp as a friend as well as a teacher and advisor. He has gener- ously given of his time and has worked unceas- ingly for the benefit of the school and the students, as well as the class. There are many activities that would not have been so successful if it had not been for his friendly and sincere help and en- couragement. These include not only such class projects as the prom, the refreshment stands, and class dances, but also school events as Home Coming, the New Years Eve Dance, and the Christmas assembly. Through his aid and guid- ance our class has prospered, and we are able to look back on our high-school days as some of the most memorable days of our lives. It is thus with deep appreciation that we express our grati- tude to Mr. Russell Delp, Class Advisor. 35 B-l 1st row—T. Balestrini, L. Angstadt, R. Board- man, J Bailey, S. Bowers, M. Bell, M.

Business Education C The Business Education Course, which includes such classes as type- writing, shorthand, bookkeeping, busi- ness mathematics, sales and law, and secretarial and office practice, enables a student to obtain an office or secre- tarial position immediately after grad- uation. It also prepares the student for advanced work in a school of business. ourse (upper right) The fourth period short- hand class rapidly takes notes from Mr. Mitterling’s dictation.

General and Special Education Courses The General and Special Opportunity programs are arranged to develop spe- cial abilities and interests in order to prepare the student to live and work in the community. The general course gives the stu- dent a wide range of electives. It is possible for graduates of this course to meet the entrance requirements of some -colleges. The special opportunity curriculum provides the basic fundamental needs to those pupils whose individual dif- ferences require an adapted course of study to help them take their rightful place in society.

During the years Mr. Padgett served Sunbury High School in both executive and teaching capacities, we students came to know him as a man whose knowledge and advice we respected and admired. Many classes of students remember him for his friendliness and for his sincere interest in them. His agreeable manner in listening to a problem and helping to solve it, his will- ingness to cooperate with the ideas of others, and his enduring interest in the welfare of Sunbury High School won him a place in our hearts. As a token of our high esteem for him, we place this page in our yearbook in memory of Mr. Frederick Padgett.

Owl’s Corner” “The Owl’s Corner,” a student-prepared re- port of outstanding events occurring in Sunbury Schools, was published several times a month in the Sunbury Daily Item. Read by parents, students, and alumni, the column contained news about the changes at SHS, assemblies, the humor- ous antics of students, and many items of interest to its readers. Mrs. Theodosia Hoffman served as advisor to the reporters. Carol Hubert, Gary Zimmerman, Robert Walter, Mrs. T. Hoffman, advisor, Donnie Michaels, Ruth Amorman, and Mary Loo Clukey analyze past articles that have appeared in the local paper. The Student Council, in its seventh year of organization, planned many projects for the school’s benefit, including the engagement of buses for all away games, the Homecoming fes- tivities, a New Year’s Eve Dance, Ninth Grade Orientation Day, and May Day. By means of a suggestion box and an up-to-date bulletin board, the council keeps in touch with the student body.

Below: The homeroom representatives meet to discuss plans for Homecoming. Key Club The Key Club, in an effort to promote good citizenship, offered many services to the school and community. They distributed and collected muscular dystrophy containers from 120 stores in the Sunbury area, checked hats at the Mercury basketball games, and decorated the interior of the school for Christ- mas. Supervised by Mr. Robert Furman and Mr. John Auten, they also sponsored a get-out and vote cam- paign in November and a semi-formal dance, high- lighting the Christmas season.

The Key Club entertains guests, Mr. Walter Bastian, Mr. William Pope, and Mr. Mike Kane, at a regular meeting. The Library Club The assistant librarians, under the supervision of Mrs. Betty Hoffman, helped students and teachers by giving them prompt and efficient service. They also aided in book repairing and in keeping the library running smoothly. Monthly meetings were held by the thirty-five members of the club to further their interest in library work. Advisor Mrs. Hoffman, Vice President Lynn Berg- stresser, Secretary Cheryl Henry, President Mary Simpson and Treasurer Elaine Van Horn, officers of the Library Club locate references in the library. The goal of the members of the Future Homemakers of America this year was a Junior Homemaker Degree. This degree was conferred by the Northumberland County Fu- ture Homemakers of America Council when the individual ful- filled the established requirements. To achieve these goals the club un- der the direction of Mrs. Laurie Forsythe made favors for the hos- pital, held a St. Patrick’s Day Dance, and co-sponsored the May Day ceremonies. The members of the Future Homemakers of America learn how to make bows for Christmas packages from Mrs. Ruth Conrad. Future Homemakers of America Future Farmers of America “Learning to do, doing to learn, learning to live, and living to serve” is the motto of the boys in the Fu- ture Farmers of America Organiza- tion. The boys discussed modern farming techniques including im- provements made in crops, poultry, and livestock. The club officers un- der the advisorship of Mr. David Baily and Mrs. Leroy Hibbs, teach- ers of agriculture at Selinsgrove High School, are President Rober Wilier, Vice President Larry Seine- ford, Secretary Marvin Herman, and Treasurer Edward Benfer. Below: Bruce Bassett, Jim Clemens, and Carl Snyder leave the school to attend agricultural classes at Selins- grove. Band Marches, novelties, and symphonies per- meated the eastern section of SHS each day as our perfection-seeking band practiced and drilled for pep chapels, football games, pa- rades, and concerts. Under the tutelage of Mr. Charles Cole- man, the largest organization in the school participated with Selinsgrove and other area schools in exchange programs, in which the combined groups held informal concerts and drills. Those musicians who excell on a particular instrument are invited to attend District, State, and National Bands. The band provided fun, education, and experience for all its members.

Majorettes The majorettes, Donna Stettler, Margie Malick, Jean Dunkelberger, Suzi Schaffner, Susie Gebhart and Mary Ann McKiniry per- form during dress rehearsal for the Winter Band Concert. The majorettes are picked from tryouts held at the begin- ning of the summer and perform throughout the year. At this time a drum majorette, who leads the band, and a head majorette, who leads the majorettes, are chosen from the seniors. Among the many events of the band in which the majorettes par- ticipate such as concerts and drills, the spotlight is put on them as they lead the band in a parade. For all performances the girls under the direction of Mr. Cole- man devise their own routines. Besides their responsibilities as majorettes they must continue as members of the band, playing an instrument. Chorus TnfH3 Providing entertainment and developing the vocal abilities in the students of the high school were the main purposes of the chorus. Under the leadership of Mrs. Jean Harner, the group per- formed at many events, both inside and outside the school. The chorus held concerts at Christmas and in the spring. They also traveled to New York, where they saw a Broadway play. Students showing outstanding ability were or- ganized into a choir which gave a Sacred Easter Concert. Above: The choir performs in the Christmas Choral Concert. Below: The members of the chorus practice for the Christmas Concert. Future Teachers of America Miss Candace Fink relates her experiences as a student teacher to an interested group of club members. In order to acquaint prospective teachers with current procedures, the Future Teachers of America organized under the leadership of President Mary Ann Moyer, Secretary Marie Horvath, Treasurer Margie Malick, and Advisor Mrs. Evelyn Picton. The club’s projects include visits to colleges and Junior High School classes, active assistance to the P. S. E. A., and participation in planning Homecoming activities. Several members of the club mold clay into ceremic objects. The Art Club Under the supervision of Mr. Robert Shoener, the Art Club was organized to develop the inter- ests of the students in the fields of pottery, paint- ing, and charcoal portraits and landscapes. The club, under the direction of President Dale Raker, Vice President Pat Barnhart, Secretary Jeanie Merrill, and Treasurer Becky Wolfe, displayed its creative work in the showcases and the cafeteria. The club members watch as several girls prepare to assume the proper shooting posi- tions. Bullseye! That’s what members of the Rifle Club dreamed about hit- ting. Whether or not they succeeded, all gained valuable experience each week in the sage handling and use of firearms. Under the supervision of Mr. John Auten and Miss Joan Auten, the S. H. S. sharpshooters attempted to qualify for NRA ranks and bars. The year’s activities ended with shootemdown (the targets, that is), bang-up elimination tournaments to determine the club champions. Before competition, the members of the Boys Rifle Club strap on their guns. 74 Rifle Clubs The Archery Club in a weekly meeting prepares for target practice. Archery Club Bowling The Archery Club members, under the direction of Mr. Earl Hill, gained skill in the art of shooting properly and learned how to care for the equip- ment. The membership included 70 students, and at the end of the season, these students participated in intra- club competition. The winners of the shooting rounds were presented with trophies. President John Carver, Vice President Stan Fruzynski, Secretary Elaine Van Horn, and Treasurer Mary Ellen Simpson were in charge of these competitive events. A Strike! was the outstanding sound heard at the Sun-Bowl Lanes, Wed- nesday afternoons. Under the guidance of Mrs. Maude Bain, advisor, and Lor- raine Acker, Senior Manager, the Bowling Club participated in intra- mural games and took part in an invi- tational tournament with teams from other schools. In March, the Bowling Club en- tered the State Bowling Tournament in Williamsport. A banquet was held at the end of the year with awards pre- sented to members of the various teams. For the past three years the Cham- pions were the Pepsi-Cola team which consisted of Lorraine Acker, Lynn Bergstresser, Sharon Bohner, Cheryl Henry, Mary Simpson, and Pam Stet- tler. Nancy Aumen, Jane Bergstresser and Cheryl Henry, members of the bowling team, all hope for a strike. 76 ■ . • £- '•v v - - r.' A Varsity: 1st row-J. Hine, L. Fetterman, J. Westbrook, J. Propst, G.

Owls Have 1-9 Season The hardfighting, and always game Owls, under head coach, Richard Purnell, and assistant coach Jack Loudenberg, had an unrewarding 1-9 season this year. With only two returning regulars, S. H. S. had to rely mainly on inexperienced players to spark the at- tack. In addition in the initial game, first string half- back Harry Williams had a leg badly injured, and in the final home game, to add to Blue and White troubles, quarterback Terry Balestrini suffered a ruptured spleen. During the season, the Owls saw rugged action with the area elevens which they played. Beginning with Danville, whom Sunbury gave a tough struggle, and end- ing with favored Bloomsburg, whom they beat, the team never showed a defeatist attitude, but fought every contest to the last. The Owls played the greater part of their schedule in the rain or on wet fields, especially the two games played on Coal Township’s field, one with Coal Township and one with Shamokin. The final tilt can be used as an example to show the Owl’s never-die attitude. Having lost nine previous games S. H. S. went to Bloomsburg as underdogs, but through fine team effort the Blue and White brought a 25-21 victory home. so Owl’s Jablonski takes out two opponents as Treon grinds out yardage against Selinsgrove.

J.V.’s Go 6-0 Sunbury’s Baby Owls, coached by Trevor Lewis and Ray Richie, were the first Junior Varsity team, in recent years, to go undefeated. Boasting deceptive backfield antics and aggressive line play, the J. V.’s ran, blocked, and tackled well. Facing several formidable opponents, the young team showed their prowess and ended the season with an un- blemished 6-0 record.

Under the tutorship of Coach Jack Loudenberg, the Sunbury Varsity Owls showed an impressive 9-5 record and came within a hard-wood splinter of cop- ping second-half honors. Boasting good height in Charles Lehman, Dave Duke, Frank Jablonski, Jeff Beck, John Hine and Frank Haas, deceptive ball-handling in Steve Treon, Terry Balestrini, Ralph Boyer, Lamar Fetterman, Jeff Neyhart, and Carl Boyer the team was scrappy and gave every opponent a tough battle, win or lose. The starting lineup usually included Treon out front carrying-out play-maker chores, Balestrini and lone-sophomore Jablonski at either side. Lehman ranged from corner to corner providing excellent re- bounding ability, while Duke harassed the foe from his pivot position. Highlights of the 1962-63 season came in the sec- ond half at Lewisburg when tempers flared in a close game as the Blue and White edged out the Dragons 47- 46 and when Berwick visited the Owl nest to find rough competition. The Bulldogs eked out a 57-55 victory in the last few seconds of play. Seniors playing their last game were Charles Leh- man, Lamar Fetterman, John Hine, and Jeff Neyhart.

The Blue and White Owlets demon- strated their knowledge of the fine points of basketball as they crushed their rivals to become the king pins of the league. The bulk of playing was done by Harry Williams, Dave Ink- rote, and Roger Bechtel out front moving the basketball, while Ter- ry Hockenbrocht worked the corners, and Ron Miller put his size to use under the boards.

Varsity Matmen Sunbury High School varsity grapplers, coached by Mr. William Reeder and Mr. Thomas Gorant, closed the books on the 1963 season with a team record of two wins and eleven losses. The Owls, led by co-captains John Beaver and John Supsic, displayed great team effort and desire in their 28-18 and 25-23 victories over the Coal Township and Bloomsburg squads respectively. The Bloomsburg match, most exciting of the season, went right down to the wire until Don Myers flattened his opponent to put Sunbury ahead and out of reach. The starting squad was composed of Larry Forrester, 95 lbs., Tom C. Badman, 103 lbs., John Supsic, 112 lbs., Dave Ladd, 120 lbs., Bill Forrester, 127 lbs., Barry Fau- sey, 133 lbs., Ken Woodcock, 138 lbs., Terry Shipman, 145 lbs., Jon Ladd, 154 lbs., John Beaver, 165 lbs., Don Myers, 180 lbs., and Tom B. Badman, unlimited class. Grapplers, Tom C. Badman, John Supsic, Dave Ladd, Barry Fausey, and John Beaver, served as the nucleus of the unit and provided the team strength. One interesting sideglance at the season was the fact that Renato Bucci, foreign exchange student from Milan, Italy, substituted in the 133 lb. berth several times during the season. Renato termed his expreience as his “greatest sports thrill.” Seniors Dave Freet, Renato Bucci, Barry Fausey, John Supsic, John Beaver, Bill Mahaffey, and Ted Caro- diskey brought their high school wrestling careers to a close with their performances in the Milton meet on Feb. 14. 83 John Supsic, 123 lb. class, locks up in second period with Selins- grove opponent.

Junior-Senior Prom As blue and white lights twinkled through the geometrically designed ceiling decorations, stu- dents and invited guests whirled to the strains of “Rhapsody in Blue” provided by Mel Arter’s band at the 1962 Junior-Senior Prom. Contrary to custom, the participants entered through the wide stage doors and trod on a mu- sical-note-decorated carpet as they conversed briefly with the receiving line and then proceeded to the steps leading to the dance floor. Early in the evening, John Hine and Janis Troutman, Junior class president and vice-presi- dent respectively, placed the crowns on the heads of Queen Bonnie Baker and King Mike Ladd. The king and queen led the grand march out of the gym and in through the stage door; and then as those present formed an archway, Bonnie and Mike danced to Rhapsody in Blue. After the prom, many dancers continued their revelry at the post prom sponsored by the Sun- bury Jaycees at the American Legion Hall. Through the help of the P. T. A. and the class mothers, the evening was a memorable success. Patrons and faculty members meet the first arrivals. The highlight of the evening . . . the royal pair. Homecomimg John Hine escorts Janice Smith, Homecoming Queen for 1962. On the afternoon of November 9, the school anxiously awaited the arrival of the homecoming queen and her court. Excitement mounted as first the underclass- men representatives arrived. Sophomore repre- sentative Kay Rohrbach, escorted by James Bubb, sophomore class president, entered leading the procession toward the autumn-decorated plat- form at the far end of the gym. She was followed by junior representative Cathy Weaver, escorted by junior class president, John Kremer. Senior attendants Jayne Mertz, escorted by Lamar Fetterman, and Mary Jane Hetrick whose escort was John Westbrook ended the preliminary procession. Then from the stage, the ring bearer and the flower girl preceded Homecoming Queen 1961, Lou Ann Witmer, and her escort Renato Bucci, foreign exchange student from Italy. The moment had arrived, and the school cheered at the arrival of Janice Smith, Home- coming Queen for 1962, escorted by John Hine, senior class president. After the coronation and speeches by outgoing and present queen, gifts were presented and that evening’s game dedicated to the queen. Various entertainment and a rousing pep chapel followed. The Student Council and F. T. A. worked dili- gently to make this traditional event successful.

Things that makes a school different, and therefore more interesting, are those occurrences that veer from the normal. Assemblies are always a welcome event. Mary Jane Hetrick, president of the Student Council, has been instrumental in scheduling assemblies of “old-time movies” gathered and presented by Mr. Clarence Weaver to re- lieve the tensions, especially after mid-term exams. Out- standing among many other fine assemblies was one by the celebrated Rubinoff who entertained with his violin and witty comments. Student teachers also important to the variety of our school days, are met with mixed emo- tions by various students. Student A. awaits their arrival impatiently, while Student B. has many apprehensions on the subject. Most times, however, it all works out for the best. Remember the student teachers you’ve had? Alas, however, such excitement does not fill every day; but the friendly faces we’ll never forget—classmates and teachers alike—make a normal day momentous. Al- though our school may not be uniquqe, it’s still tops for us; and we’ll carry away many fond memories. Do you remember those occurrences and the people involved? It’s hard to believe that late bell rings at 8:10. At approximately 8:08 we might find Sandy Gass, Sandra Steelfox, and Philip Jenkins off at a dead run to “beat that bell”. If you were to be in the vicinity of Mr. Purnell’s room, you might find Debra Herrold, Betty Furman, Jayne Mertz, and Susie Sweetser ending the morning “news” period to scurry to their respective homerooms. The halls are another source of amusement. If you’ve ever been in the stairways connecting the old and new buildings, you know what I mean. Mingled laughs and shrieks follow the students clamoring up and down the stairs. While the cat’s away, the mice will sleep, talk, and . . . Although some may duck their heads and charge through the masses at first opportunity, Fred Best and David Keefer walk nonchalantly on, completely oblivious of everything else. Wonder what’s on their minds? Of all the powerful words in the English language, there are none that can hold a candle to “lunch line”. If you’re smiling you know what I mean. Watching from a distance, we can observe 'John Westbrook, David Welker, John Probst, and others walk slowly to the front of the line, check all directions for approaching teachers, and then plunge into the cafeteria. Surprisingly enough, this method requires much less time than the usual way of getting one’s dinner. This could go on for hours, each occurrence bringing a different memory to the mind of each individual. If we were to mention P. D., Bill Mahaffey would surely re- member those 40 winks before Dr. Derr arrived, and per- haps even a little “cat-nap” afterwards; and quite a few of the girls would probably remember Mr. Lee, the stu- dent-teacher. So it would go with every class, every event. So just sit back, prop up your feet and remember.

Memories leap from the pages, but there is something missing. At the end of the year there are so many events that we also wish to recall. For many, this spring is the last time they’ll participate in high school sports. The Prom, May Day, and Senior Day highlight our senior year, all memorable. For those whose accomplishments have merited praise there are the awards assemblies, while Commencement exercises mark the climax of the year. Thus, all these events and several more will be published in the supplement which you will receive during the summer. V 0 1 y 6 Bou d by WAISWORTH Mo. U. S.

And Came The Spring Student directors Mary Alice Hoffman and Melanie Geiser position Mary Jane Hetrick (Virginia) and Barry Fausey (Keith) as Carole Katz (Carollyn) enters. The class of 1963 presented “And Came the Spring” by Marianne and Joseph Hayes on March 21 and 22. The light-hearted family comedy cen- tered around the antics of 15-year old Midge Hartman who caused her parents and friends many distressing moments during spring vacation. The peak of confusion was reached with the arrival of a prominent New York socialite, Carollyn Webster. This femme fatale soon enchanted all available boys. including the boyfriend of her hostess, Virginia Hartman. As if this didn’t bring enough trouble, Midge also caused Virginia to be suspected as a thief, her father almost lost his business, and she disrupted brother Elliot’s career as a writer of brilliant trag- edies. But on the night of the Spring Prom -- Midge’s first formal -- all matters were set straight in an amusing and heart-warming manner. Clancy, the gardener, and Edna, the maid, support bruised Elliot during the midst of an explosive argu- ment.

National Honor Assembly May 10, 1963 National Honor Society Annually the George B. Nesline chapter of the National Honor Society recognizes senior students exhibiting high scholarship, leadership, service, and worthy character. In addition to acknowledging students for out- standing achievement, the honor society stimulates enthusiasm for scholarship and initative for attainment of desirable qualities. Through its emphasis on the scholastic and personal development of the individual, the National Honor Society raises the caliber of the school as well as its students. On May 10, 1963, nineteen candidates were introduced into the honor society and received mem- bership keys and certificates. These students were guests at two banquets, one sponsored by the Kiwanis Club on May 13 at the Neff Hotel, and the other by Mr. and Mrs. Charles Duffy at the Edison Hotel on June 4, 1963. The members of the National Honor Society are honored at a banquet given by Mr. and Mrs. Charles Duffy at the Hotel Edison.

Je£f Neyhart and Sandy Gass of Station WOOoo reveal the prophecy of the Class of ’63. Senior Senior Day, the day set aside during the school year for the enjoyment of seniors, began ordinarily enough. All students, including seniors, reported to their homerooms at 8:10, on May 21, and morning classes were held as always. At noon, the first of the day’s special activities commenced. Mr. Clarence Weaver showed several of his silent Movies, “The Firemen” with Charlie Chaplin, “Love, Speed, and Thrills” with Max Swain, and “You’re Darn Tootin’ ” with Laurel and Hardy, to the honored seniors from 12:00 to 1:00. Those who were not rolling in the aisles with laughter then proceeded to the cafeteria for dinner. Only the seniors were present. Next stop was the gym, where the class prophecy was presented by a spaceman, a spacewoman, and the voices of other space inhabitants. Members of the Senior Class dance to the music of the Stereos, composed of Bill Smith, Denny Matthews, and Bob Holland. Day These people of the future revealed the fate of each member of the class. The Stereos, combo of SHS students, played several swing- ing selections, to which the seniors danced. At 6:30, seniors and their guests assembled at the American Legion Ballroom for dinner. Remarks were given after dinner by Messrs. Russell Delp, class advisor, Francis Hatton, principal, Eugene Hutchinson, superintendent, and John Hine, class president. Last of the day’s activities was the dance, for which Mel Arter’s dance band provided the music. The dinner and the dance were planned by the parents. And so ended Senior Day, 1963, a day that will be long remembered by the graduating class. Mr. Russell Delp, senior class advisor, says a few words of advice and encouragement to the class of ’63. Waiting eagerly for their dinner, members of the senior class discuss their last three years in high school. John Hine and Quay Neidig, King and Queen of the Prom survey their subjects. Jr.-Sr. Prom 1963 After months of preparations, designs and drawings and two weeks of hard work, the doors to the Sunbury High School gymnasium were opened wide to display a theme of Sayonara.. Entering over a typical Japanese bridge, the Juniors and Seniors gazed upon a stream with live red and gold fish swimming in it. The center of attraction was a garden complete with cherry blossoms, a pink bubbling brook, and a pagoda which served as a refreshment stand. Post Prom Queen Gloria Hendricks and her escort, Tom Markowski, pause during the evening's festivities. Sayonara Decorating the sides were huge, hand- painted fans depicting the colorful Japanese people. Gery Kehler and his orchestra were surrounded by little Japanese pagodas. Highlighting the evening was the crown- ing of Quay Neidig and John Hine as Queen and King of the prom. After the prom, the evening was com- pleted with a party held at the American Legion Post 201 sponsored by the Sunbury Jaycees. Gloria Hendricks was crowned Queen of the Post Prom. i Baccalaureate At 2:30 p.m. on May 26, in the Sunbury High School auditorium, Reverend Walter B. Freed, pastor of Zion Lutheran Church, explained to the 1963 graduates that their paths would not be rosy, no matter which road they might take — a job, marriage, or college. In his baccalaureate address he described the “Personal Encounters” that the class had experienced in the past and the giants they probably would encounter in their future. Reverend Freed also pointed out that a person can only succeed in his daily encounters with other people if he first has a personal and intimate encounter with God. The choir, under the direction of Mrs. Jean Harner, presents a vocal selection. Dr. Walter Freed relates the experiences the class will meet in their “Personal Encounters.” Commencement The theme of the 1963 Commencement program held on May 31 at 8:00 p.m. in the high school auditorium was-“Education for the World of Today.” Nancy Kaiser spoke on the challenge that education presents to everyone in today’s world, and Carole Katz elaborated on the meaning and purpose of today’s educational system. Following these orations, the members of the class of 1963 received their diplomas from Mr. William Betz. Eleanor Matheson, Class Treasurer, presents the class gift of aluminum letters spelling out the name of our school to Mr. William Betz. Valedictorian, Nancy Kaiser, receives her diploma from Mr. Hutchinson and Mr. Betz. Carole Katz, salutatorian of the class shakes hands with John Hine, class president.
