,eWoW finding and understanding religion is the key to finding and enjoying life to its fullest. Sue Kabenold Theological changes, rock music, modern biblical interpretations, and a group of students involved in the Jesus movement headlined the year's religious scene. Several area churches incorporated the use of folk rock music in their services to provide new outlooks on religion for the younger generation. Services were accepted with enthusiasm. Music combined rock and gospel sounds to add a deeper meaning to the services. The Reverend David S. Mohr of Trinity United Church of Christ, Coplay, related that the advent of the folk mass and new religious philosophies would bring more youth to the church. Even the parents and grandparents, replied Reverend Mohr, have felt the pinch of tight, organized religion. Even though they are afraid to change, I think that they will buy it all the way! Opposed to the idea that change was beneficial was 1970 graduate John Deutsch who is a seminarian at St. Tikon's Russian Orthodox Seminary. The church in his eyes is losing youth and emphasizes its refusal to liberalize in doctrine. Churches are changing and still losing the young and the old, commented John. They will have to come back on the track before they are totally uprooted! Several students demonstrated their faith by actively participating in religious events throughout the year. Seniors Donna Williams and Craig Kerewich and juniors Dan Kramlich, John Bechtold, and Kenneth McClellan served as deacons at the Hokendauqua Presbyterian Church. Freshman Dawn Rehrig participated in the Handbell Choir of Christ Lutheran Church, Allentown. The choir was noted as being theonly one in the United States that was able to ring the bells in four-part harmony. The group toured Germany, Holland, and Wales during the summer to participate in concerts and to learn different peoples' religious ways of life. Students gained better insight to biblical texts with modern interpretations available in paperback form. Good News for Modern Man was used as the New Testament in today's language. A novel, The Little Prince, was different from biblical texts. It showed man's dependency upon God and religion. Hackman's Bible Book Store provided an outlet for community faiths to fulfill their religious needs. Everything from clerical clothing to fluorescent religious posters was available. Religious viewpoints were broadened when five members of a local Jesus Freak movement visited Ray Erb's contemporary affairs classes to explain the meaning of the trend to students. They explained the practice as being a spiritual survival and not a religion. Their ideas, unlike most religious philosophies, stressed God reaching for man, not man turning to God. Students following the Jewish faith stressed that the home was the basic foundation of their religion. They explained it as being a religious sanctuary more conducive to worship than a distracting synagogue. Youth Fellowship of Trinity United Church of Christ was cited as an outstanding group for its help and involvement in community affairs. The members were presented with a merit award at the American Legion Awards Dinner. Being in a church group and making people happy by working through God has helped me to live a fuller life, commented senior Sue Rabenold, group member.

pupils active in historical site dedication Students, faculty members, and administrators demonstrated their interests in community affairs when they participated in the dedication services of theTroxell-Steckel House and Farm Museum June 3 and 4. Dr. George D. Steckel, superintendent of the school district, gave the main address at the formal dedication ceremony. Journalism teacher Miss Marjorie Lazarus was chairman of the celebration. A concert was given by the Whitehall High School band and junior Jane Keiser sang Bless This House and led the audience in singing God Bless America. Approximately 40 high school students took part in the event. Girls dressed in long dresses represented the period and worked as guides, handed out programs, and made sure that everyone registered. An occasion such as this calls for reflections on the past and the future, said Dr. Steckel. I'm glad so many were interested! Historical Society members Mrs. David Ward, Scott Trexler, and Miss Marjorie Lazarus enjoy a brief meeting with Whitehall guide ludy Frederick.
