Within the generation’s breast burn the hopes Which shall not lose their youthful fire Until the final reck’ning is called And the generation’s dreams are weighed Beside what the generation’s done; Then the fire will burn the brighter For the battles fought and legions vanquished 1 By a generation’s aspirations. And the ideals of the generation’s marching Are carved in constant stone; That when others begin their marching They shall know in a former time: Torches lit and banners flying A generation marched Up from its cloistered childhood Into the hastes and wastes of time, undaunted By losses of the past. L.F.B. it ...... ■ THE 1964 TORCH Published Annually by the SENIOR CLASS of Sunbury Area Senior High School Sunbury, Pennsylvania Volume XLV May, 1964 fmm Foreword Oriented around a theme of light, the 1964 TORCH perpetuates for the members of the Class of 1964 all that they have shared collectively during their senior year at Sunbury High Sthool. This TORCH is for the infinite pleasure of its readers. The pages are here, to be leafed through frantically now and mused over nostalgically later. When his year- book is published, every face and every event composing a part of it is still clear and poignant in the reader’s mind. The TORCH now merely reflects the image of experiences that are yet keen to the senses. But in time this vividness of re- membrance will dim, and what is now lucid will become shadowed in vague memories. Then the 1964 TORCH will be a source of light that will illuminate and revive for the members of the Class of 1964 these three formative years of their lives, years in which they began to visualize their own destinies. Mr. Henry R. Mitterling Dedication In a bookkeeping class Mr. Mitterling checks on students’ individual work during a practice lab. Class of 964 Honors Advisor Through their associations with him during the past three years, the Senior Class of 1964 have come to regard Mr. Henry R. Mitterling with adminration and respect. As their class advisor, Mr. Mitterling has efficiently guided the sen- iors throughout their high school life. He has willingly spent innumerable hours of his time and devoted an infinite measure of energy in helping the Class of ’64 carry out its projects, particularly the 1963 Junior-Senior Prom. Due to his shrewd business sense, plus careful plan- ning and organization, Mr. Mitterling has enabled the senior class to meet all of its financial obligations without anxiety. It is through’his initial efforts that all seniors will, this year for the first time in the history of Sunbury High School, receive a copy of their yearbook free of charge. Mr. Mitterling has worked close- ly with the students he advises, placing their wishes foremost in his considera- tion. In turn many of the seniors have come to know him personally and re- gard him as a friend. It is, therefore, with immeasurable appreciation that the Senior Class gratefully dedicates its year- book, the 1964 TORCH, to Mr. Henry R. Mitterling. Mr. Mitterling carefully records all activities and business transactions of the Class of 1964 in a detailed and comprehensive record book. 7 Table of Contents Board of Education...................p. 9 Superintendent...................p. 10 Principal............................22 Faculty..........................p. 22 Students........................,p, 26 Activities......................,p. 68 Sports...........................p. 86 Features.........................p. 106 Supplement.......................p. 215 Board of Education SUNBURY AREA JOINT SCHOOL COMMITTEE Incoming and outgoing members of the Sunbury Area Joint School Committee confer at a reorganization meeting.

Ray, Jr. Superintendent Works to Insure that Sunbury Schools Function Progressively As part of his duties, Superintendent Hutchinson releases pertinent school information to the Sunbury DAILY ITEM in order to achieve closer relations between school and community. Mr. Hutchinson confers with his secretary, Mrs. Mary Gebhardt, about the contents of inter-departmental cor- respondence. As Superintendent of the Sunbury Area School System, Mr. M. Eugene Hutchinson encourages advancement and modernization of school curricu- lums, availability of the latest and most effective materials and teaching aids, and constructive evaluation of the educational program. He is eager for the Sunbury Area Schools to achieve continually their main goal, preparing the student to succeed in his modern world., Mr. Hutchinson is an outstanding citizen in his community. He is active in many civic affairs and organiza- tions, in all of which he serves as a decorous representative of the Sunbury Area School System. 10 Mr. Hatton pauses for a moment during his busy schedule to reflect on the events of the school day. Francis C. Hatton Strives for the Betterment of his Students Greeting students each morning are the three secretaries who handle all of the clerical work in the senior high office. From I. to r., Mrs. Grace Holdren, Mrs. Louise Conrad, and Mrs. Jean Ries. j— B SKETB LL ; ' :I Monbi.Mirun i; 'Wp ! Faculty v . bower Club Francis C. Hatton had been principal at Sunbury Area Senior High School only one year when the Class of 1964 came to S.H.S. as sophomores. Yet Mr. Hat- ton has brought to his position a dedi- cation and genuine interest in the wel- fare of his students that transcend his years of experience. Through his prev- ious classroom teaching, he realizes the great importance of knowing personally the people with whom he works. Mr. Hatton can often be seen walking through the corridors during the passing of class- es, greeting students with a warm smile and a friendly “Hello.” He stops to ask seniors about their future plans and of- fers to discuss with them any problems they may have. As a former coach, Mr. Hatton takes an active interest in Sun- bury High’s athletic programs. Perhaps Mr. Hatton himself best expresses the attitude in which he holds his job as principal when he says, “I’m for you, the students.” The work of an educator is to train the undisciplined mind of his student to at- tain direction and purpose; he must instill in the student a desire to see not only what but why.

English Department The foundation of all other departments in a high school is the English department. The work in any other area can- not be carried on without a basic knowledge of the language. The. department which includes English X, XI, and XII, business English, speech and journalism stresses an under- standing of both the written and spoken language. Appre- ciation of the works of great authors is another goal of this division. Students interested in newspaper or oratorical work as well as the college-bound students find this department an invaluable aid. A group of seniors in Miss Shaw’s first period speech class, from 1. to r., Becky Jo Drumm, Linda Rovcnolt, Cathy Weaver, Larry Bassett, Sandy Kniss, Harry Schrader, and Charles Mcthercll, participate in a panel discussion on the pros and cons of the Beatles. John Parker recites a memory passage from the poem “Snowstorm” by Ralph Waldo Emerson for one of Miss Fernsler’s English XI classes. Mr. Nesline shows his Spanish III class a collec- tion of pictures, gathered during his numerous trips to Mexico, of the ruins of Mayan Indian civilization. Language Department To solidify the work of the English department, the language department serves as the background through which the student can see the derivation of many English words. This course is readily accepted as an invitation to a new and different study. The depart- ment,' including Spanish, French, Latin and German, is many times the basis for addi- tional study in college of foreign languages. After fundamental rules are learned, the courses turn to speaking and reading. The studies incorporate information on the re- spective countries, thus enabling the student to become acquainted with a way of life other than his own. Miss Shipc supervises a group of French III and IV students listening to and translating colloquial conversations in French through headsets in the language laboratory. Business Department After the basic foundation in English has been laid, the next step in education is to provide a variety of subjects and a chance to specialize in these. The business de- partment strives to prepare the student to go directly from school into office work. Typewriting, shorthand, bookkeeping, secretarial practice, office practice, and sales and law are the courses making up this department. Through the use of various machines, many of which are the latest models, and through constant practice, the student has a chance to become highly proficient. This department also prepares the student to be a better homemaker. The courses are of obvious use in the keeping of home records and in the purchasing of goods through the sales class. During a laboratory period Mr. Ocker explains the procedure for determining the percentage of oxygen in potassium chlorate to Chemistry I stu- dents, 1. to r., Ken Woodhead, Jill Kniss, Marcy Lehman, Suzanne Valentine, Judi Barefoot, Mar- lene Raker, and Lonny Ditty. Math and Science Department Another area of advanced study is the mathematics and science department. Through chemistry, physics, biology, human physiology and general science, the student delves into the phenomena of nature in an attempt to understand more about himself and his surroundings. By geometry, algebra, trigonometry, college mathematics, functional mathe- matics, and business mathematics, information that could be used in any occupation is learned. Because of the increased importance of mathematics and science today, students find this department of great help in their post-high school life. In Mr. Bushick’s fourth period Advanced Biology class seniors gain proficiency in the use of microscopes by observing prepared slides of amoeba and paramecium. Mr. Shoener’s second year art students, first row 1. to r., Sally Stevenson, Daylene Hoffman; second row 1. to r., Tina Wilson, Bob Koletar, Charles Eichner, and Bob Boardman, complete work on their entries in the Hire the Handicapped Poster Contest sponsored by the local Bureau of Employment Security. Crafts Department The area of significance to students interested in becoming skilled in the arts is the crafts department. Making up this section are mechanical drawing, home economics, auto mechanics, car- pentry, drafting, machine shop, art, chorus, music theory and ap- preciation, graphic arts, driver education, and band. The craft de- partment is of value to those students who intend to secure em- ployment immediately after school. Hobbies are often initiated in this course and become a part of a student’s life thereafter. Principles of the various subjects are learned and then put into practical use in this department. Girls in a Home Economics I class begin preparation, under the direction of Miss Hooven, of a dinner to be served to Mr. Hatton and several members of the faculty. Mr. Hill inspects the progress of senior boys enrolled in the carpentry shop program who are working on the construc- tion of a practice house. Gloria Faust, Diane Dockey, and Sharon Neidig increase skill in the operation of printing presses as they print tickets- for the Senior Class Play during a class in Mr. Muhleman’s print shop. In the background Bill Jenkins and Bob Koletar are using paper cutters. Dr. Derr lectures to a Problems of Democracy class about a significant economic problem, the high human cost of labor. Juniors studying American history listen as Mr. Schlegel discusses Theodore Roosevelt and his relation to the reform period. Social Studies Department Mr. Ellwood refers to a diagrammed chart of the human body to supplement discussion in a senior boys’ health class on the effects of cigarette smoking. The final step in our educational system is the develop- ment of the mind and body. The social studies department in- cludes world cultures, American history, problems of democ- racy, current world problems, and health and physical educa- tion. After all the specialization in other courses, this depart- ment teaches the importance of profiting from other’s mistakes as a fundamental. The evolution of man and his society is stressed in this course. Class participation through discussion makes this department an important asset to any student. The development of the physical student rounds out the complete education of the school. Senior girls in Miss Autcn’s first period gym class perform warm-up exercises prior to playing a volleyball game. The mind of youth eager to learn is an ideal classroom, not discouraged by defeat, not confined by convention, not blinded by bias, but searching only for truth.

Student Council Sponsors Many Activities School spirit was aroused and enlivened by the efforts of the student council. Students were given the opportunity to support football and basketball teams by using buses sponsored by the council to the away games, and the student-faculty basketball game was the result of council planning. Through the student council, the juniors’ and sophomores’ individual pictures were taken, and due to the capable management and hand of interested members, the Homecoming and May Day festivities were a success. In an effort to alleviate the congestion in the hallways and especially on the steps, one way traffic was assigned to each of the four stairways in the old wing. A new undertaking of the council was the sale of school jackets and blazers. The group performed all these activities under the advisorship of Mr. Charles Schlegel, Mr. Russell Delp, and Mr. Robert Bastian.

Seniors Reflect on Their Beginning early in September, and con- tinuing for three months, a group of 27 seniors held weekly meetings to plan the 1964 TORCH. During the preparation of their yearbook, they planned layouts, wrote copy, and struggled to meet their deadlines. The staff was directed in their efforts by Mrs. Janet Erikson.

The concert choir holds practice for the Christmas concert. Chorus Entertains in School and Community Several innovations in the choral program were in- augurated under the auspices of Mrs. Jean E. Harner, director. Two distinct groups were formed of those who joined chorus. Concert choir was a group of sixty-seven tried and selected voices who performed in assemblies and pre- sented their annual Christmas and Spring concerts in the auditorium. They also entertained for many organiza- tions outside the school, especially during the religious holidays. Forming an integral part of the group were the nine boys whose voices blended harmoniously with those of the girls. For those members unable to fit chorus into their regular schedule, an after-school class was held three times weekly. The second was a group of eighteen girls known as the Glee Club. Its members sang solely in class periods where they were taught voice control and part singing. For the first time in several years, student pianists accompanied the choir on many of the numbers they performed. Five talented members submitted their serv- ices. The choir members who traveled to Swiftwater, Pcnna., in January to represent the school at district chorus were Betty Zimmerman, Linda Rovenolt, Marsha Bell, and Harry Hummel. Mrs. Harner directs Donald Messimer as he accompanies the choir in practice.__________________________________________ Officers: Seated are Helene Shacffer, librarian, and Mar- garet Badman, vice-president. Standing are Becky Drumm, librarian; Nancy Auman, publicity manager; Gail Derr, librarian; Harry Hummel, president; Terry Wheeland, treas- urer; and Donna Harner, secretary. The accompanists, Helene Schaeffer, Becky Drumm, Elaine Broscious, Donna Harner, and Donald Messimer select music. The Glee Club meets in class under the supervision of Mr. William Andel, a student teacher. Band Plays Big Part in S.H.S. Under the supervision of Mr. Charles Coleman, the Sunbury Area Senior High School Band is an organization dedicated to the development of musical talent and music appreciation. At each football game, they performed colorful drills and cheered the team to vic- tory with snappy marches. The band could be seen and heard bringing up the rear in each Sunbury parade. On September 28, they participated in the Kiwanis Interna- tional Charities Festival at Susquehanna University. The musicians also presented their two annual concerts in the high school auditorium. Tryouts were held for those desiring to participate in Susquehanna Valley and dis- trict bands. Many of the candidates were accepted and earned the opportunity to meet and perform with high school musicians from all over Pennsylvania. The S.H.S. band performs during half time activities at the Selinsgrove football game. Mr. Coleman meets with the band officers to discuss plans for the group’s trip to the World’s Fair in April. They are Roy Herrold, Marshall Kaiser, and Bill Unger, stage managers; Pat Christian, librarian; Larry Beck, student director; Carol Inns, secretary; John Hunter, vice president; and Larry Grugan, president. 75 Majorettes Improvise Taking very important part in the S. H.S. band are the five majorettes headed by Margie Malick. Early in the summer, immediately after tryouts, the girls began practicing to perfect the routines they im- provised to be presented at the football games. These lively-stepping twirlers faith- fully preceded the band in all parades. The five majorettes are Marcia Lehman, Carole Neidig, Margie Malick, Susan Gebhardt, and Betty Reinaker. Routines Students’ Column Inf or ms Public “The Owls’ Corner,” a column which appeared weekly in the Sunbury Daily Item was written by seven Sunbury High seniors. Under the guidance of Mrs. Theo- dosia Hoffman, they wrote articles which offered interesting news about school ac- tivities, humorous escapades of the stu- dents, and famous quotations for con- sideration. These informative articles were ap- preciated by parents and teachers, and made the community more aware of the activities at Sunbury High School. Michael Balducci, Jake Gass, Larry Bassett, Sue Hartman, Sandra Gilligbauer, and Arlene Rantz look through scrap book containing past “Owls’ Corners” with Mrs. Hoffman. 76 I I F.H.A. Prepares Girls for Family Living The officers plan to buy materials to make favors. They are Jane Bergstresser, secretary; Susan Gilbert, treasurer; Shirley Strawser, vice-president; Linda Rovenolt, president, and Pat Moyer, historian. The Future Homemakers of America held bi-monthly meetings to promote appreciation of the joys of homemaking and to develop creative leadership in home and community life. Guided by Miss Nancy Hooven, the club conducted several projects. Included in these were making favors for hospital patients at Thanksgiving and Valentines Day, as- sisting the Key Club in decorating, the school for Christmas, serving at the P.S.E.A. card party, and co-sponsoring the May Day festivities. During the year several persons visited the club giving demonstrations and talks on home economics-related topics. ABOVE: Miss Hooven urges the girls to pay their dues early in the year.

Library Club members examine literature before a meeting in the library. Thirty students volunteered their serv- ices to the S.H.S. library this year to tend to library functions during their free periods. Directed by Mrs. Betty Hoffman, the li- brarians maintained order among those stu- dents using the library, classified books be- ing added to shelves, checked out books and magazines for the borrowers, and repaired damaged and worn books. The club held monthly meetings to dis- cuss plans for Library Week, and to plan for outside recreation and entertainment. Key Club Spreads Good Will ABOVE: The officers chat briefly with the evening’s speaker, Mr. Walter Felix, before the meeting begins.

BELOW: The Key Club welcomes members of Kiwanis, which sponsors the group, at a weekly meeting. Advised by Mr. G. Robert Furman and Mr. Daniel Hoy, a total of over sixty boys upheld the ideals of the Sunbury High School Key Club. In keeping with their motto, “Render dedicated service”, the boys undertook several projects. They faithfully carried out the usual Key Club projects which included ushering and decorating at home football games, supplying and decorating Christmas trees for the school corridors, and dis- tributing muscular dystrophy cannisters to the Sunbury merchants. Highlighting their year was the Snowball, the annual semi-formal Christmas dance. New projects were collecting old eyeglasses to be sent to underprivileged persons overseas, selling tickets for the Kiwanis-sponsored Travel- ogue series, and selling Christmas trees to Key Clubs of schools within a hundred-mile radius and to the public. Keglers Vie in Club Tournaments f Every Wednesday afternoon the Bowling Club met at the | Sun-Bowl Lanes, under the supervision of Mr. G. Robert Furman. For the first time in many years, it is a combined club of thirty-two girls and sixteen boys. The boys bowled separately from the girls, competing against each other for the highest scores. It is their hope that in future years enough boys will join that a [separate club can be formed. Through the year, league tournaments were held within the clubs, and those who maintained the highest averages competed against bowlers from other schools. At the end of the year a banquet was held at which awards were presented to the members who had excelled in their games. The club holds membership in the Youth Bowling Association, a national organization. LEFT: Dave Foster.

Here the girls were shown the proper meth- ods for handling and firing a rifle and learned to comply with these principles. During the year, the members were marked as marksman, pro-marksman, and sharpshooter, according to the system set up by the National Rifle As- sociation of America. At the end of the year, eliminations were held among the girls to determine the club champion. Taking their turns at the rifle range are Robert Koletar, Roger Heim, Roy Herrold, and Kim Sowers. Riflemen Gain Safety and Assurance The members of the Sunbury High School Boys’ Rifle Club assembled weekly to gain proficiency in the safe and accurate use of firearms. They were taught the proper techniques by their advisor, Mr. John Auten. Through the year, each boy prepared for the club championship to be determined at the end of the season. While working their way through the ranks of marksman, pro-marksman, and sharpshooter, they grew to enjoy shooting for sport and recreation.

Times Adds Color and Variety Sports editor Mike Rohrbach and contributing editor Larry Bassett assist Charles Lytle in selecting articles for the paper’s December issue. After forty-one years as the School Times, the Sunbury High School newspaper became the Blue and White Times, through a nearly unanimous vote of the student body early in the school year. Other noteworthy changes took place in addition to the name. Supervised by Miss Katherine Fernsler, with Charles Lytle as editor-in-chief, the staff at- tempted to make editorials an important part of the paper, and students were heartily encouraged to sub- mit letters to the editor. A new column designed to keep the school informed on local and national politics was entitled “The Political Times”, and “From the Owls’ Roost” provided humor and clean fun in the form of a gossip column. The paper strives to help promote the ideals and traditions of the school, to serve as an informative organ between students and faculty, and to stress the elements of good journalism. Sunbury High School is proud to be represented by such an informative and progressive news organ— the Blue and White Times. m Lenora Yearick, business manager; Jane Bergstresser, features editor; Linda Angstadt, news editor; and Judy Rogers, head proofreader, meet with Charles Lytle, editor-in-chief, to discuss topics for future articles. Some staff members look over suggestions pointed out to them by the editors. Nothing creates as much genuine enthusiasm as a favorite sport. It implants in the participant the importance of interdependent teamwork and good sportsman- ship, and it fills the spectator with spirit and a sense of pride in the accomplish- ments of his team.

With 15 seniors leading the way, the Owls pow- ered their way to the Susquehanna Valley League Championship, and came within a hairbreadth of win- ning Southern Division, Eastern Conference honors. In the Susquehanna Valley race, the Owls lost only to Danville’s Ironmen, whom they replaced as cham- pions, Placing third in the Southern Division, the var- sity gridmen lost only to Mt. Carmel in a game played under protest of an eleventh-hour postpone- ment. The opportunistic Owls boasted a heavy, mobile line and a fast and deceptive backfield. When on of- fense, the Owls were an explosive unit, capable of scoring at any time. Time and time again, with the hard-hitting line opening gaping holes, the backs were able to break away for long gains. The Owls met with equal success when they went to the air for yardage. When on defense, the line play, as well as that of the backfield, was outstanding. The Owls tackled viciously and with authority. The Owls outscored their op- ponents 280 to 87, for one of the best offensive and defensive marks in school history. The Owls also put together one of the longest winning streaks recorded in Sunbury football annals. Starting with the blitzing of Selinsgrove and continuing through the win over Shamokin, the Owls won eight straight games. The fighting ’63 Owls will long be remembered as one of the best football teams that Sunbury High School has produced.

Operating with a speedy backfield and an aggressive line, the Baby Owls beat five opponents, while tying Berwick.

With tremendous spirit and ability, plus fine coaching by Trevor Lewis, the ’63-64 edition of the S. H. S. varsity basketball team compiled an impressive 16-4 record. Featuring accurate shooting, speed, re- bounding strength, and a stingy defense, the Owls beat every team in the Susquehanna Valley League. The varsity cagers finished in second place in both the 1st and 2nd half standings. In undoubtedly the most exciting game of the year, the determined Owls upset Danville, the league champs, by a score of 80-74 be- fore a standing-room-only crowd in the S. H. S. gym. Height and rebounding were furnished by Frank Jablonski, Dave Duke, Jeff Beck, Frank Haas, and Dave Inkrote. Terry Balestrini, Denny Weir, George Deitrick, Steve Treon, Carl Boyer, Roger Betchtel and Harry Williams provided deceptive ball handling and accurate outside shooting for the Owls. Duke, Haas, Beck, Balestrini, Bechtel, Treon, Weir, and Jablonski were mainly repsonsible for the scoring punch and the strong defense of the varsity cagers. As their record attests, the ’63-64 varsity basket- bailers have compiled, by hard work and determination, a record which is to be admired and complimented.

Varsity Grapplers Log 5-6 Record Tom Badman, junior 103 pounder, tightens his pinning hold on his luckless opponent. too The 1963-64 edition of the varsity wrestling team put together one of the best records in recent S.H.S. history. With excellent coaching furnished by William Reeder, Tom Gorant, and George Herman, the varsity matmen won five matches, while losing six. Three home matches won by the Owls, Central Columbia, Southern Area, and Mt. Car- mel, provided the most exciting and best wrestling exhibited by this year’s varsity matmen. The starting team consisted of Dave Dunkleberger, 95 lb; Tom Badman, 103 lb; Ed Forbes, 112 lb; Bill Forrester, 120 lb; Dave Ladd, 127 lb.; Sam Ferster, 133 lb.; Ed Quiggle, 138 lb.; Leon Derr, 145 lb.; Jon Ladd, 154 lb.; Junior Walter, 165 lb.; Dan Dunkleberger, 180 lb.; Don Myers, uni. Tom Badman, Dave Ladd, Jon Ladd, Don Myers, all of who receipted for eight victories, and Dan Dunkleberger, who had a 7-1 record, scored the bulk of the points for the Owls. The fine record forged by the varsity grapplers is a feat which speaks well for the rise of wrestling as an interscholastic sport in S.H.S.

H.S. this year was as ardent a cheer- leading group as has been in Sunbury High for several years. These ten girls aroused spirit I at all the sports events and at the pep rallies in the gymnasium. With Miss Eva Reichley acting as ad- visor, and Jerrianne Moist serving as captain, the ’63-64 cheerleading squad exemplified the spirit, sportsmanship and enthusiasm of S.H.S. and especially its athletic teams. Much credit is due this hard-working, unsung organization which is so important and evident in high school life. Truly, S.H.S. had a cheer- leading squad to be proud of during 1963-1964. During a football pep rally, the cheerleaders lead the student body in a cheer.

These girls set an example of sportsmanship, fervor, and ability that will be hard to match by the underclassmen in the following years. Jerrianne Moist, a senior cheerleader of three years, captained the group this year. The other seniors and their years of cheerleading are: Barb Wenrich, three years; Sandy Rice, one year; and Jean- ne Gibson, one half year. All of these girls did a truly commendable job.

The day had come to reveal the true iden- tity of Sunbury’s much guessed about queen, and the decorated gymnasium was filled with whispering students. The Student Council had put forth considerable ef- fort in preparing the gymnasium and organizing a smooth and entertaining program. The scene of the crowning was decorated with a fall football theme in mind. As the band played a processional, the sophomore attendant, Kathy Yearick, was escorted to the dais by Warren Herman, the president of the sophomore class. Next came Kay Rohrbach, the junior class’s attendant, who was escorted by James Bubb, junior class president. Jacqueline Bailey and Carol Inns, the two attendants representing the senior class, entered with escorts Larry Grugan and Larry Beck. Last year’s queen, Janice Smith, entered next with escort Kim Sowers, followed by the flower girl and the crown bearer. Finally, JoAnn Zech- man, entering through the decorated trellis over the stage, walked forth to be crowned Homecoming Queen of 1963. The happy girl was escorted to her throne by Senior Class President John Kremer. The beautiful crown was bestowed upon the queen by Janice Smith. Steve Treon and Tim Heffner, co-cap- tains of the football team, gave the queen a gift of honor and the football symbolizing the dedication of the game. After varied entertainment in honor of the queen, a stir- ring pep rally to build spirit for the game with Shamokin that night concluded the program. JoAnn Zechman, Homecoming Queen of 1963, is escorted by Senior Class President John Kremer. Escorting Carol Inns, a senior attendant, is Larry Beck, the president of the Key Club. Jacqueline Bailey, a senior attendant, is escorted by Larry Grugan, who represented the school band. The Homecoming Queen of 1963, surrounded by her lovely court, receives her crown from last year’s queen, Janis Smith. Sophomore attendant Kathy Yearick is escorted by Warren Herman. James Bubb, junior class president, escorts Kay Rohrbach, the junior at- tendant. Prom King and Queen John Hine and Quay Neidig lead the Grand March. An oriental paradise was the scene of the 1963 Junior-Senior Prom. As the couples entered the gym- nasium, they crossed a bridge overlooking a lake filled with tiny gold fish. The sides of the dance floor were decorated in yellow, white, and gold and ornamented with huge black fans depicting characters from the Japanese way of life. Sayonara, the theme of the prom, was displayed across the end wall. Bringing the scene to life were a miniature, bubbling waterfall, a pink and white cherry blossom tree, and a pagoda at which re- Members of the prom decorating committee take time out for a moment of fun. freshments were served. Gery Kehler and his orchestra, who provided the entertainment for the evening, were seated between miniature pagodas. The climax of the prom was the crowning of the King and Queen. Reigning over the evening were Quay Neidig and John Hine. Then as the doors of Sunbury High School Gymnasium closed, the couples went to the Hall of Nations at American Legion Post 201, where the Sunbury Jaycees had sponsored the Post Prom Party. 1963’s Post Prom Queen was Gloria Hendricks. American Legion Post 201 was the scene of that memorable Post Prom. A police line-up after a student riot? No, it’s only the cast of the junior class play at curtain call. Juniors Present Class Play Our Super On November 29 and 30, the junior class pre- sented Henrietta the Eighth, which was written by Kurtz Gordon and' directed by Mrs. Virginia Grady. The three daughters (Barbara Barni, Susie Wendt, and Ruth VanHorn) of a very community-minded widow (Donnell Walther) are left under the care and supervision of their mother’s private secretary. It is time for eighth secretary (Maryann Patton) to ar- rive, and the girls plot ways to get her to obey their commands, as they had previously done with the other secretaries. But Henrietta has other ideas; she helps straighten out the girls’ personal lives and helps them to win their boyfriends (Jim Nace, Walter Freed, and Dave Kent). The camera catches Maryann Patton, Linda Reed, Donnell Walther, and Ruth Van Horn in action. In the end, Henrietta is revealed as a novelist who came to the house to study the inhabitants as copy for her next book. Since that time, she has become very fond of the family and cannot bring herself to write the book. Finally everything works out well for the characters. Other members of the cast were Linda Reed, Jim Hepner, Steve Runyan, Keith Bahner, Linda Sny- der, Karen Klinger, Jill Barnhart, Jon Strine, Dave Buriak, Richard Hockenbrocht, Becky Wolfe, Leanne Brown, and Barbara Slack.

Randy’s housekeeper, Susan Hartman, has collapsed in a chair from the emotional strain of the crisis. Long weeks of exhausting rehearsals cul- minated in heady success for the cast and crew of the senior class play. The Class of 1964 presented ALAS, BABYLON, a drama in three acts, on March 13 and 14 in the high school auditorium. Directed by Mrs. Margaret Stephens, this play marked the first time in several years that a straight dramatic produc- tion was attempted by Sunbury High students. Based on the novel of the same name by Pat Frank and especially adapted for stage presentation by Anne Coulter Martens, ALAS, BABYLON is a poignant, contemporary work. The action centers on an interesting and like- able group of people in a remote Florida com- munity, suddenly faced with the gigantic prob- lems presented when they are isolated by the worldwide catastrophe of nuclear war. How they react to this unprecedented crisis creates a thought-provoking insight to human nature as it is confronted with the most imminent danger of our time. Endeared to the hearts of cast and crew members is Director Mrs. Margaret Stephens. Guiding the Class of 1964 in both its junior and senior class plays, Mrs. Stephen’s capacity to instill the desire to strive for perfection and her goodnaturec ability to draw out the best creative efforts in others make her loved and respected by all who came ir contact with her. Mr. Ellwood passes underneath the basket to Mr. McEntirc as Terry Walker and Terry Hockenbrough defend. Cheering in vain for the students, these supporters appear to be doing the twist. Faculty vs. Girls V olleyball Members of the women faculty had their night when they clashed with senior girls on the volleyball court. Despite the girls’ efforts to distract them with their odd attire, the faculty was victorious in all three games. However, rooting to the end, the cheerleaders for the students looked amazingly like some of the football lettermen. Cheerleaders welcome a member of the ‘Hags in Bags to the court as the teachers wait patiently for action. The opening jump between Terry Walker and Mr. Reeder broke the pre-game tension of both teams. Faculty vs. Boys Basketball With Dave Duke coaching the seniors and the faculty not as out of shape as some of the students had hoped, the annual basketball game rolled around. Although they had to stave off a last minute surge, the teachers defeated the team which well represented the senior class. However, the victory didn't come without some rooting from colorfully-dressed cheerleaders for the faculty. The Hags in Bags” display an air of confidence before the faculty lowered the boom.

Highlight's of the season were Carl Boyer’s no- hit pitching against Mifflinburg, and the Owls 5-2 victory over Milton, co-leaders of the Susquehanna Valley League. The usual starting nine and their positions are: Carl Boyer, pitcher; Terry Balestrini, catcher; John Riegel, first base; John Michaels, second base; Bill Drumm, shortstop; Denny Weir, third base; Ralph Boyer, left field; Harry Williams, center field; Roger Bechtel, right field.

Many valuable points were added by this group in both the track events and the field events. These thirteen senior cindermen have set an example which will be hard to match in the coming years at S.H.S. The seniors and their areas of competition are: Don Burns, dashes, 880 yd. relay; Tim Heffner, shot- put; Larry Beck, half mile; Dave Gilbert, discus; Bob Fleming, shot put, broad jump; Terry Shipman, shot put, pole vault, 880 yd. relay; Steve Bowers, manager, Dan Dunkleberger, mile, half mile; Stan Fruzynski, dis- cus; Bob Fleming, shot put, broad jump; Terry Hocken- brough, discus, javelin; John Stryker, broad jump; Ray- mie Rail, manager; Leonard Long, manager. The experience and leadership needed on any winning athletic team was provided on the '64 S.H.S. baseball squad by a group of seven seniors. Timely hitting, sharp pitching, and a good defense was a trade- mark of these senior diamondmen. In addition to using their own talents, the seniors aided the underclassmen on the team by being a steadying influence throughout the season. The seniors and their positions are: George Wal- lace, outfield; Carl Boyer, pitcher; John Riegel, first base; Ralph Boyer, outfield; Roger Bechtel, outfield; Terry Balestrini, catcher; Steve Trcon. pitcher. Future senior diamondmen have a great deal to do if they hope to be able to match the seniors of '64 in ability, desire, and hustle.

One of the highest honors available to high school seniors was obtained by nineteen Sunbury High School students when they were elected to membership in the George B. Nesline Chapter of the National Honor Society. Each of the group took part in an assembly be- fore the student body on May 8, 1964, during which they were formally accepted into the society. They were presented with certificates of membership and emblem charms. Selected by members of the faculty, the recipients of this honor are students who have shown outstanding qualities of character, service, leadership, and high scholastic ability. At this assembly Miss Grete Petersen presented a very enjoyable speech about her impressions and ex- periences this year as the foreign exchange student in Sunbury.

Seniors and their guests have a happy, satisfied look after their dinner served in the American Legion's Hall of Nations . Senior Dinner Dance With the seniors eagerly waiting, Senior Class President John Kremer made the announcement to take seats which started the activities on the night of the Dinner Dance. Student Council President, John Bzdil offered the invocation; and the students sat down to a delicious turkey dinner. Immediately after the din- ner, President Kremer told of coming activities for the seniors. Mr. Hatton extended an invitation to all sen- iors to return to Sunbury at Christmas the next year for a reunion in high school. Mr. Hutchinson asked for the cooperation of the students in completing and returning survey forms that are valuable information to the school. Due to the late arrival of the “Skyliners”, the dancing at first was to a juke box. However, once the combo arrived, the dance was extended, completing a very enjoyable evening. The dance floor was full of bending, curving, and turning bodies during the twist contest. The limbo contest drew a large crowd of observers as well as participants to this dance current a few years ago. Larry Bassett’s reading of the class will was one of the highlights of the morning assembly. Dancing in the gym. seniors really let loose in the celebra- tion of their day. The Limelight is on Seniors There are those days and those events which be- long to the senior alone. In the bright lights of bac- calaureate and commencement the world sees the sen- ior in his glory, but senior day is his alone. By tradi- tion he dines with his class, dances with his class, and laughs with his class. It is his moment; a time when underclassmen account for nothing, and all the mun- dane things of school are put aside. Such it should be, such it was, such it is, and such it shall be. The 1964 Senior Day, held on May 26, was one of the great moments of the year dominated by seniors. Mr. Clar- ence Weaver projected the outrageously funny film “A Walk Down Memory Lane.” This humor was fol- lowed by a excellent turkey dinner and dancing in the gym. The seniors closed the day with a fitting ’’bang” and the traditional roses. The presentation of roses was the finale to a very enjoyable senior day. The elegant and lavish decorations of Prom 1964, Roman Holiday”, heighten the enjoyment and admiration of all present. What was once an ordinary gym floor with basket- ball hoops and a common stage was transformed into a “Roman Holiday”—The 1964 Junior-Senior Prom. The fete was completed with music by Frank Taylor’s orchestra. Upon entering the gym through one of two scenic gardens, we were greeted with an architectural wonder of white pillars with a ceiling of varying intensities of the color blue and a stage consisting of proscenium arches. To heighten the magic of the evening, there was a large, center fountain that “just might grant your dreams and wishes.” Against the background of a beautiful mural typifying surrounding Roman coun- tryside, the P.T.A. and class parents served refresh- ments. The evening came to a climax as James Bubb and Shirley Strawser, Class of 1965 president and secre- tary respectively, crowned a resplendent couple, Russ Bowersox and Jacquee Bailey, King and Queen of the 1964 Prom. As part of their official coronation cere- mony, Russ and Jacquee led the Grand March. Although the prom itself ended at 12:30, the Sun- bury Jaycees carried on the splendid festivities with a post prom party held at the Hall of Nations, American Legion Building. With the “Roof Rockers” providing music at the post prom, Miss Julie Hummel presided as 1964 Post Prom Queen. When the official finish of the 1964 Prom and Post Prom ended at 7 o’clock Saturday morning, the thought of those attending was, “Nothing is left but majestic memory.” Prom Queen Jacquee Bailey and King Russ Bowersox begin the traditional Grand March at the climax of the evening. A glowing Post Prom Queen 1964, Julie Hummel, leads off the royal dance with her escort Jon Ladd. 1 ow of theTORCH fades- Baccalaureafe As the Torch's glow fades, Sunbury High School Baccalaureate services were held on Sunday, May 31 in the high school auditorium. The sermon “It Is as You Wish It-’ de- livered by the Reverend William H. Moyer of Albright Evangelical United Brethren Church cautioned the graduating class that they have a problem — “You’ve got yourself on your hands; now what are you going to do?” Rev- erend Moyer emphasized that the teachers and churches have laid before the seniors a ban- quet feast of knowledge and preparation for life. How you partake of this food of life and use it — is as you wish it. While the 231 graduating seniors filed to their seats in the auditorium. Mrs. Jean Erd- man played the solemn and majestic proces- sional. The invocation was given by Captain Lawrence Moretz of the Salvation Army. Students assisting in the Baccalaureate service were: Catherine Weaver, Vice-president of the Senior Class - Responsive Reading; Lawrence Bassett, Member of the Senior Class- Scripture Reading: Psalm 111; Jacqueline Bailey, Secretary of the Senior Class - Prayer. Underclassmen choir under the direction of Mrs. Jean Erdman. The Reverend Henry A. W. Schaeffer, First United Church of Christ, closed the service with the benediction. As the glow of the Torch faded, the seniors of Sunbury High School witnessed the next-to- the-Iast event of their high school years. Seniors listen attentively as Reverend William H. Moyer, delivers the sermon. wr v l.cading the congregation in the responsive reading is Cath- erine Weaver. Vice-president of the senior class. Jacqueline Bailey, Secretary of the senior class, leads the prayer. President of the Joint School Committee.. William S. Shipman, a wards a diploma. The Torch’s glow is ended. Remembrance of the knowledge and experiences witnessed during the glow will illuminate and prepare the “Sunbury High School Graduates” for the life to come. Commencement, June 3, 1964, began with the processional played by the Senior High School Instru- mental Ensemble. Invocation was given by Reverend Henry L. Reed, Trinity Lutheran Church. Presenting the theme “Moral Force in the World Today” were two orations given by Margie Malick and Larry Beck. Miss Malick used as her theme that moral force can go either way—you can take the easy, follow- the-crowd path and become a delinquent or you can strive always for a better quality of life. The fact that environment will greatly influence the moral tone of a person was the topic used by Larry Beck. He stated that the family, associates, and early teachings in life will mold the personality and direction of a person. A vocal selection and a musical selection were given by the Senior High Chorus and Instrumental En- John Kremer.

The class gift, three reproductions of paintings by famous men, was presented by Karen Lawer, Treasurer of the Class of 1964. William S. Shipman, President of the Joint School Committee, accepted the gift. Then came the long awaited moment. Mr. Francis C. Hatton, Principal of Senior High School, presented and recommended the class of 1964 as candidates for diplomas. The class was accepted by Superintendent of Sunbury Area Schools, M. Eugene Hutchinson, who remarked on the status of Sunbury students as com- pared with the rest of the nation. The awarding of the diplomas was done by William S. Shipman. As a fitting closing to Commencement and high school life, the Class of 1964 sang their Alma Mater for the last time. Rabbi Norman Intrator, Congrega- tion Beth-El, then gave the Benediction. Margie Malick and Larry Beck give orations on the theme, Moral Force In the World Today.” 1 33 1 34
