Tulpehocken High School - Yearbook (Bernville, PA)

Text from Pages 1 - 94 of the 1960 volume:

I 2 This is the story of how we have accumu- lated keys to add to our chain of success. Although it has taken us years to find these keys, we realize the search was not in vain, for they have opened doors we never want to close. Our search for the keys to success has not ended here, however. We are looking toward the future in the anticipation that we shall continue to be as fortunate as we have been in the past in discovering these keys. May our keys unlock many doors for the coming seniors, and assist them as they have us, in achieving their goals. PENN-BERNVILLE HIGH SCHOOL Bernville, Pennsylvania 3 MR. WILLIAM H. KAISER The man who has helped us acquire our keys to success is Mr. William Kaiser. During his years at Penn-Bernville he has done a great deal toward the advancement of mathe- matics. Because of his able leadership and his willingness to extend a helping hand, Mr. Kaiser has won the respect and admiration of all the students in our school. It is, therefore, with deepest respect that we dedicate the 1960 PENNANT to Mr. William Kaiser, a credit to the teaching profession. 4 ADMINISTRATION....6 SENIORS........16 UNDERCLASSES...26 CURRICULA..........42 ORGANIZATIONS..50 ATHLETICS......64 FEATURE 72 LEADERSHIP is the first key we will attach to our chain of success. We have learned that, to become successful, we must assume an active role in life and accept the challenge of responsibility. Our teachers have given us this key by serving as fine examples and by inspiring us to lead. 7 TULPEHOCKEN AREA JOINT SCHOOL BOARD Front Row: Mrs. Irene T.

Hassler SECRETARY PRINCIPAL On behalf of the faculty and student body may we extend our sincere thanks to the class of 1960 and its advisors for the publication of this current edition of the PENNANT. We feel sure that this book will continue to carry forth the fine tradition established by the yearbooks of the past. The theme of this year's book, The Keys to Success, has real significance to all of us who are in school. If we can, through work in school, find the formula for success, then our later lives will be much more fruitful and worthwhile. We believe that our school life is a training ground for our later adult life and it truly is the storehouse for The Keys to Success. Best wishes to the class of 1960. Mr. Kenneth R.

Man must seek knowledge to better understand his en- vironment; he must be constantly alert to new ideas without which he can only retrogress, not progress. We are not satisfied with mediocrity, therefore we find this key an important one for our lives. 43 Agriculture Irwin Zerbe, Arthur Kissling, and Bruce Good look at some of the latest editions of farm magazines. Members of the agriculture classes learn the latest and most economical methods of farming, as well as studying about new de- velopments in farm machinery. Algefira Tenth grade students work on Algebra, the branch of mathemat- ics concerned with the relations and properties of numbers by means of letters, signs of opera- tion, and other symbols. Study in this course includes solution of equations, polynomials, and con- tinued fractions. Art Dawn Sweigart, Marlene Rent- schler, and Stewart Brodman work on still life drawings, one of the many projects undertaken by the art classes. The attractive bulletin board displays in the hall this year were products of the art classes. 44 Bookkeeping Carol Hartman explains a book- keeping problem, which has stumped the other students. Knowledge of bookkeeping is in- valuable not only for future men and women of business, but also for each person who wishes to be successful in budgeting his mon- ey. Realizing this, students find the classes interesting and worth- while. Chemistry Mr. Hartman looks on as Nancy Bixler and Barry Kraatz perform an experiment on lime water fil- tration. Becoming familiar with the elements and how they react when combined chemically, stu- dents discover many secrets of the universe and gain an under- standing of modern science. Driver draining Mr. Matthew gives his approving smile as Barry Kraatz names the parts of the engine. James Kint- zer listens intently, for his turn is next. These boys, as well as the other juniors in driver train- ing classes, get first-hand expe- rience in driving and car care and learn the basic rules for safety on the highway. 45 Qerman James Bertram reads ’’Die Kinder, while the rest of the class follow in their books. Most students find German interesting, since many of their ancestors came from Germany. German classes read many interesting short stories as well as listening to German records and reading the novel Immensee. Snglis d The tenth grade students prepare the themes Mrs. Matthew has as- signed them. English classes spend a great deal of time writing creatively, for this activity stim- ulates the imagination and gives students an opportunity to apply what they have learned about ef- fective writing. Reading, speak- ing, and listening activities are also included in the English pro- gram. History Paul Himmelber ger , Edwin Meredith, Joan Troutman, and Mary Long make use of reference books in their search for materi- als to supplement their textbook information about the Ancients. From the facts they gather, stu- dents prepare projects which are used as visual aids. ■� 6 Homema ?ing Carol Hartman and Kathryn Burk- hart demonstrate their skill in sewing, which, they have found, has helped to enlarge their ward- robes. Good grooming, cooking, childcare, and home management are just some of the subjects besides sewing taught in home- making classes. Bonnie Luckenbill, Clayton Wag- ner and Tanya Pyle show David Evans and Evelyn Baithaser how to decline nouns. These students find Latin basic to a colorful vo- cabulary in English and important in the understanding of world his- tory. At Christmas time the class enjoyed the singing of ’’Adeste Fideles.” £afin Music Dale Henne and Richard Wilhelm play a French horn selection with Mr. Berger. Students have regu- lar lessons on band instruments so they may become more profi- cient musicians. Junior high school classes receive instruc- tion in vocal music, and study the mechanics of, and appreciation for fine music. 47 Physical Sducation The seventh grade physical edu- cation class learns the fundamen- tal rules of hockey. While some practice bullying, others practice passing, driving and dribbling. The girls find a hockey scrim- mage very tiring, but lots of fun. Many seasonal sports are engaged in during the school term. Social Studies Sandra Benzel shows Kenneth Tobias, Byron Bixier, Lillian Bare and Sandra Messner impor- tant countries of Africa. The stu- dents of the ninth grade class have found studying the geography and history of foreign lands fascinat- ing. Bruce Good accompanied by Mr. Sleppy constructs stands on which students of the lower grades will do mechanical drawing. Manual arts classes are prepared for fu- ture construction work by becom- ing adept in the use of the many electrical and hand tools needed for this type work. 48 Science Arthur Wolf, Robert Smith, Doris Koch, and Janet Lyons work with the static electric machine, one of the devices used for demonstration in science classes. Under the direc- tion of Mr. Hartman the science class learns fundamentals which will prepare them for further study in this field. trigonometry Richard Speicher and Barbara Ernst solve a right triangle, one of the many problems approached in tri- gonometry classes. Creating a de- finite challenge to all senior acade- mic students, this advanced form of mathematics acquaints students with the use of the slide rule and survey- ing equipment. typing These juniors are looking at the typ- ing keyboard, trying to memorize the keys on the typewriter. After mem- orizing the keys, students strive for accuracy. Under Mrs. Mooney's careful guidance, typing students learn proficiency on both standard and electric typewriters. 49 i SERVICE, the key we next add to our chain of success, enhances our lives in that it expands our interests and broad- ens our knowledge. Membership in various school organizations teaches us tolerance and gives us a feeling of re- sponsibility toward others. This learn- ing is vital, for our greatness, after all, is measured according to what we do for our fellow man, not what we do for our own benefit alone.

To start the school term off on a friendly basis, Student Council sponsored a Get-Ac- quainted Dance for grades 7-12. This was only one of the many outstanding activities which were enjoyed by all throughout the year. One of the Council's projects was spon- soring fine assemblies including Dr. No- Young Park, world lecturer, and a glass blower. An innovation of Student Council's this year was the presentation of an award to the best decorated homeroom at Christmas time. Throughout the year this key organization has worked diligently to improve our school. President Mary Ellen Hoffman 53 Larry Kline and Grace Degler, co- editors, look over the yearbook, check- ing carefully that everything is in order. Stewart Brodman, who is taking a picture of Leslie Weidman and Kathryn Haag, re- ceives instructions on how to operate the camera from Leslie. Since good photog- raphy is a must for the yearbook, any suggestions for improvement are wel- come. Kenneth Mohn, PENNANT art editor, practices his drawing before starting yearbook artwork. Although he is working by himself on the picture, some of the class artists assisted him so we could meet deadlines. Eileen Tobias, Donna Braithwate, typing chairman, and Marlene Rentschler work overtime to meet the first deadline. All typ- ing students cooperate to type the many items of copy used throughout the yearbook. 55 Pennguin Seated: Lula Broadwater, Clayton Wagner, Mary Ellen Hoffman, Grace Degler, Mar- lene Rentschler, Donna Braithwaite, Clifford Boyer, Linda Bashore.

We must study hard and work diligently, but we must set aside time for relaxation if we are to remain happy. Although this is the last key to success we have mentioned in this book, it is by no means a final one. We expect that, as the years pass, we shall be adding many new keys to vitalize the old.
