Two bothersome Palmerton gridders force freshman quarterback Bob Cole to terminate the play sooner than he expected. The little Zephyrs won the game 31-0 and finished their year with a 6-3 mark. Strong follow throughs are indicative of sophomore Ed Omick's golf swing. Omick was the Zephyrs' second man and had the best average of 78.6 strokes per 18 holes during the season. Congratulations are offered by Ben Chrin (86) to Scott Reph (75) after another one of Reph's bone breaking tackles. Or is it Reph to Chrin after one of Chrin's long pass catches? ?

Sophomore Jeni Fetheroff leads the Held in the 100-yard butterfly. She holds the school record of 1:22.7 in the event and was the Zephyrettes’ third leading scorer with 101 Vj points. O 7 TEAMS START YEAR Possession of the ball is an elusive goal to Lou Bodish and a Northampton player. Eileen Shaughnessy waits for an outlet pass to hurry the ball up-field. Whitehall won the contest 1-0. With the change of girls swimming and boys golf to the fall, Whitehall's sports program got off to a pleasing start. During September, a 20-10 record was compiled by the seven fall sport teams. The golfers and girl swimmers started their seasons with victories, as the duffers dumped host Straudsburg 12-6 and the swimmers beat Blue Mountain 106-65. Home varsity football games were played Saturday nights under the new lights. The varsity kicked off its undefeated season by shutting out Saucon Valley, Notre Dame, and Palmerton. Visiting Nazareth crossed the Zephs' goal line, but the Zehyrs went on to a 20-6 victory. A triangular meet was part of the cross country schedule. The Zephyrs came out even in the contest by dropping Salisbury 16-43 and losing to host Easton 20-40. Al Weiner set course records in every meet as the runners easily won four of their first five meetings. A 13-meet Lehigh Valley League winning streak was halted when the host Lehighton Indians handed the Zehpyrs a 22-35 setback. Jayvee footballers topped Palmerton 22-6 with Tim Snyder's 45 and 38-yard touchdowns. Paul Ziegenfuss scored five touchdowns in the first three games for the frosh and broke up a scoreless deadlock with two tallies in a 12-0 defeat of Nazareth. Emmaus dominated girls field hockey and golf and also had victories over Whitehall in both as the golfers lost 14V4-3V4 and thestickgirls were defeated 3-0. The field hockey team's first and only first half win came over visiting Northampton 2-0 as Steph Terliski and Eileen Shaughnessy scored for the Zephyrettes. 20

 lLCCTimS HDD OWtMITV In describing the month of September, one should select the words new beginnings for the start of the month signaled a new academic year. It was one which introduced new faces of teachers and students along with new courses. For the first time, psychology, sociology, astronomy, environmental science, and Writing I played an important role in the elec’ive course program. The astronomy course worked fine, said planetarium director Dale Ott, despite the fact that students could not delve too deeply into the mathematics involved due to lack of in-depth training. I would really like, related Robert Kratzer, Writing I teacher, to see my students achieve recognition through their writing. Some hockey team members started the year by journeying to Holland. Joceleyn Kaligis, coach, said of the experience, The education attained through the trip was unlimited. Hoping to motivate students with a new approach, some teachers varied techniques. Pete Haja, student teacher for social studies, introduced his classes to problems of democracy by having them role play. Walking imaginary tight ropes and swatting flies were a few of the roles portrayed. Students studying business received some practice by maintaining the book store. Charles Barhight, business teacher, felt there was no better way than first-hand experience to educate students. Blades command the clay as junior Denise Beidleman carefully etches her preconceived design. Mosaics, ceramics, paintings, and jewelry designing were also some of the other areas students dealt with. Industrious students pass the time in study hall by socializing with their friends while others study. 22
