But after 10 months of adding and condensing, The Whitehall resulted for your enjoyment and everlasting memories. With the idea of a magazine format, we had to carry it out to the fullest degree which included the necessity of Michelle Lener’s, design editor, scattered ads and scattered stories. To ease any possible confusion the table of contents was devised to tell location, content, and page. Sports information was divided among six highly organized articles by senior editor Lori Groller, while Sue Wuchter organized administrators, faculty, and special services into two separate stories, “Beneath the Dome and Behind the Scenes; Those Who Make It Happen. Paul Lynch, active in the choir and theatrical productions, developed the Entertainment story with the help of the managing editor. Martha Vlattas prepared for the art for this lively story about musicals, dramas, band, and choir. Doing away with the typical yearbook divider pages, introductions and bold major headlines separate one story from another, while lively true-to-life stories take the place of the usual sugar-coated yearbook reporting. Three times as much copy had to be written since most magazines possess little or no white space. With students taking off for all corners of the world on school related trips, Carole Reinert, managing editor, compiled the facts into a free-wheeling recollection of humorous and exhilarating moments with the jet-set. In addition to this short feature story Carole developed the student life section “From Dusk Til Dawn.” While associate editor Carol Levanduski set right an originally haphazardly put together classes section entitled Personality Profile, she also kept a close watch on the fluctuating finances. Barb Robertson pulled together the strings of a disjointed year in the national and local community in addition to selling, designing, and writing all of the ads.

Experiences from academic suicide to intellectual resurrection occur annually, but certain events this year seem to glimmer more brightly among the rubble of reminiscences. To capture the radiance of Whitehall's insight, humor, disappointments and accomplishments which are the rough gems of the future, and to try to polish them just enough to reveal their future value is the purpose of this yearbook. Although sports were often criticized as being given too much attention, an undefeated football team was under a much deserved spotlight during the fall. The baseball team, winning the East Penn Conference League title, also helped nourish the healthy team spirit. Speeding again to victory and entering in district competition was the girls track team for its second year. On the darker side of sports, however, was the winter season. The basketball, swimming, and wrestling teams all had losing records, and controversy concerning basketball coaching and fighting fans further split the fragmented season. Individual highlights threw a complimentary light on the school as well as a bright hope for the future through promising students whose scholastic and athletic accomplishments set them above the ordinary. Apparently the school board did not always agree on the price of excellence. In attempting to prepare a budget in spring, the board proposed drastic cuts in teaching post and sports which many parents, students and teachers felt were vital to the quality of education. The school board’s decision to be frugal reflected the attitude of the nation as its people conserved energy, gas, and money. After the election of Jimmy Carter the economy recovered and politics became calmer as the country slowly and cautiously moved back into its industrial grind. Conservative was the adjective describing the year in all its aspects but underneath still glowed the ever-present spirit of suppressed enthusiasm.

But as time heals all wounds. I’m sure it will heal mine also. This is not to say nothing good came from Whitehall as 1 have some enjoyable memories but these are “precious and few.” One of these precious memories is my recollection of the Student Government talent show. This I remember not so much for the actual assembly, but for all the planning and organizing of the days before. Such team work you would not even see on the football field. And what I think is very unfair is these people do it all for nothing. They receive not the slightest bit of credit for the time and effort put in. The sports program is supposed to turn “boys into men, but more often than not I’ve seen it turn men into boys. On the other hand those who worked on Student Government projects achieved more personal growth than anyone else in the school, yet they did it all for nothing. Brian Harrison Student Government President iirp t ftij t Whitehall has a fine reputation for continually producing innovative yearbooks. But as a former staff member, I know that coming up with new ideas is increasingly difficult each year. The 1973 Whitehall, heralded outstanding by several press associations, was a tough act to follow for our ’74 staff. Fortunately, editor-in-chief Joan Coringrato had the courage to break with tradition. Much to our delight, the 1974 Whitehall turned out quite successful. Now in 1977 your staff is introducing another concept new to Whitehall yearbooks — a magazine style format. This unique innovation certainly must have tapped the creativity of all your staff members. Congratulations to you and your staff.

Whitehall day at Dor-ney Park was deemed a success despite the thunderstorm which dampened spirits. Those who work hard play hard; a summary of high school life know only by the students. Nightlife was the time for students to relax among friends and forget the pressures of school. Dances and athletic events provided ordinary weekend entertainment. In addition to these activities, there were a few traditional and special occasions. Romantically inclined couples spent serious moments together at the proms, creative talents were expressed on the Homecoming floats, and the games at the Spring Festival satisfied those with humor. Teenagers dropped their mature attitudes and acted as children May 18 as they had complete reign of Dorney Park. Although a thunderstorm hampered the evening, entertainment was found in devouring the famous treats at this park. While waiting for the raindrops to cease stomachs were filled with anything from candy apples to soft ice cream to french fries with vinegar. It wasn’t such an unusual sight during the week of Homecoming to see a few students asleep in every class. After working into the wee hours of the morning in a mad rush to finish the floats on time, it was no wonder there were more baggy eyelids during the last week of October than at any other time. Queens were in abundance but the joy and happiness felt by each queen was also shared by everyone in attendance. Dilligency and determination on the part of many turned social events into enjoyable realities. Three members of the junior class executive committee had to rush from school to decorate the ballroom at the Americus Hotel for the Junior Prom. Recuperating from the trip to Florida in 24 hours, 84 members of the senior class had enough energy to make it through their prom. Student Government carried the responsibilities of running the Spring Festival practically alone since student support was lacking. While some may question the worth of all of this effort, the answer could be the reward in seeing things enjoyed by others. “Even though the response was sometimes missing, continued ' What are ya. nuts? thinks Jane Miller, top. as she is announced senior prom queen.

Promises were made by many students to help build floats, but it was only through the loyalty of a few students that the 10 outstanding floats were completed on time for Homecoming festivities at the Dieruff game October 30. Five Student Government boys slept in the bus garage, while a group of dedicated band members spent the night at Sue Evans' home across from the school so they could get an early start on their floats. “Initially, Dieruffs band director refused to allow the Zephyr band to perform during an entire half-time.' said Berni Cherski, yearbook editor. “But we were able to work around him.” Berni and Sue Wuchtcr, newspaper editor, organized the festivities.

The class of '78’s prom broke tradition in more ways than one. Moving the date from the dead of winter to the warmth of spring. serving a smorgasbord dinner, and including kings into the royal family were a few examples of the zesty spirit possessed by this class. Fashion at the prom ranged from very formal gowns to casual pantsuits for the gals and from suits to tuxedos for guys.

Tony Vlahovic waited until the majority of couples was seated for his grand entrance into the ballroom. “This was just something no one ever did before,' explained Tony, “and I decided 1 was the one to do it! While Tony captured the couples' attention at the beginning of the prom, Harold Bushpies was the male that captured their hearts for the remainder of the evening. Crowned by John Howells, senior class host, Harold was shocked when he was crowned king. “The whole thing if kind of funny,” said Harold. “I really didn’t know what it would be like to be a king!” Problems developed when several of the male nominees did not want to go along with the idea of being candidates. “Most of the guys said the idea was dumb at first,” commented one nominee. continued STUDENT LIFE continued “But once we were up there I think most would agree that it wasn't so bad.” For those in attendance, there most certainly was “magic in the atmosphere. Ingenuity was apparent at the Spring Festival. Electronic horse races devised by David Able were sponsored by the band, while bubble races were Todd Moyer’s brainstorm. The choir profited as students used their hot air to bubble their way to the finish line. In the past the carnival was scheduled in late winter and drew better crowds. Some clubs did not sponsor stands because of experiences in the past. “We lost money and found it more profitable to not be involved this year, said Phillips Armstrong, Ski Club adviser. “It was a lot of fun, but too much work to be worth it.

Depending on the moods of the promgoers, the activities ranged from going to bowling alleys to the rose garden and other local parks where they relaxed and watched it was conned by the crowd to “play just one more. Dancing with a Denmark flair, David Rappaport swirled his way around the dance floor displaying the fancy footwork he picked up when he lived among the Danes. Long winding chains were formed weaving in and out of the tables, chairs, “Wow, you look different, uh, I mean you look very nice tonight,” says the nervous boy posing for pictures before the prom. “Thank you, you look very handsome, too” she answers through fluttering eyelashes as the boy down the street suddenly grows into a charming gentleman on the magic night of the prom.

(H) 21 One of the most important economic issues of the year was the energy crisis. Cold weather and an increased reliance on electrical facilities combined with a gasoline shortage were made worse by the fighting in the Middle East and the unnecessary waste of gas by most Americans. A change was forced on the free and easy style of Americans. Car pooling, thermostats set at 68 degrees and “shower with a friend attempts eased, but did not solve, the problem. Continued Middle East disturbances turned national attention toward the Alaskan pipeline, a controversial source of energy which would pipe billions of gallons of oil to the country at the cost of a disrupted environment. The balance of oil industry competition seemed even more delicate than the balance of nature. Solar energy and nuclear energy seem to hold future possibilities, but practicality and cost must be further investigated. Until then, with prudent uses and continuing research, gasoline will be the main source of fuel with the greatest service at the least cost.

By Lori Groller While football at the professional and collegiate ranks battled for improved attendance and money, Whitehall’s gridiron program fought for recognition. New personnel coupled with little experience by most players left the media to predict only a .500 season for the gridders in the newly formed East Penn Conference. But to the surprise of everyone but themselves, the Zephyrs completed an unbeaten campaign and earned the praise they felt was rightly deserved A banner year was also noted off the field as attendance soared and gross receipts for the sport totaled over $30,000. Overshadowed by the varsity’s success, underclassman gridders suffered bitter inductions into the new league. “Super was the way Joseph Gerencser, first-year head coach, described his unbeaten Zephyr football team. “1 had a lot of fine teams and outstanding individuals at Parkland.” commented coach Gerencser, but 1 feel this is my best team overall. It was a fresh start for the 14-year veteran coach of Parkland and his 40 varsity candidates alike as there were only five starters returning from last year's squad. “The talent was there, though, replied Mr. Gerencser. “All the kids needed was someone to direct them.” By virtue of their clean 10-0 EPC slate, the gridders were termed the best team in Eastern Pennsylvania and second best in the state. Aided by his assistants. Stan Luckcnbill, Randy Rice, and John Bendekovits, coach Gerencser incorporated his highly successful philosophy of an unrelenting running attack and a grueling defense into the Zephyr game plan. The results were rewarding as the Zephyr machine churned out 2,266 yards on the ground while allowing its opponents a mere 429. The biggest win of the season was undoubtedly a 13-7 victory over Phillipsburg that clinched the EPC crown. A fired-up Stateliner defense had bottled up the Whitehall offense for three and one-half periods before quarterback Bob Cole found Willie Roman slanting continued Left: Under the watchful eye of the referee.

Still down by a point, the gridders went for the win but failed to execute the two-point conversion. Whitehall's defense hung tough and forced P-Burg to punt on its next possession. Cole then executed a 70-yard drive that ended with halfback Paul Ziegenfuss scoring from six inches out with only 23 seconds remaining in the game. Termed the “Super Bowl of the 1976 Lehigh Valley season, the Dieruff clash, between the conference’s two most evenly balanced teams set out to prove who was really No. 1. The Huskies, rumored to be the best team in the area at the start of the season, admirably lived up to their billing by coming into the Whitehall showdown with five consecutive shutouts in their pocket. But the Zephyr defense showed it could work both ways and turned five Dieruff errors into as many scores to prove the difference in a solid 33-0 thrashing of the Huskies. The gridders rallied from a slow start and brought the nearly 10,000 Homecoming Game fans to their feet with two quick scores just before the half. Andy Millen’s first interception of the game set up a one-yard scamper by Ed Podorsky while Bob Hetz’s fumble recovery resulted in a one-yard dive by fullback Joe Gerencser Jr. VARSITY WHITEHALL OPPONENTS 19 Lehighton 3 29 Bethlehem Catholic 7 55 Northampton 6 24 Liberty 8 55 William Allen 7 27 Parkland 8 33 Dieruff 0 55 Central Catholic 3 13 Phillipsburg 7 21 Emmaus Won 10 Lost 0 14 Placekicker Phil Nemeth warms up his valuable fool Defensive tackle Bob Helz struggles to throw off With no where to go but straight ahead, running back during pre-game activities.

Mark Standorf scooped up a fumble in the Dieruff backfield and slipped over from two yards out to cap off the scoring. Pass interceptions again proved to be the deciding factor in a solid 27-8 triumph over Parkland. The gridders used four steals, two of which came in a 76-second span, to make Coach Gerencser’s return to Trojan territory memorable. Ziegcnfuss scored on runs of 15 and 31 yards while Cole scrambled 11 yards for one TD and threw a 32-yard pass to right end Steve Panik for another. The Zephyrs delighted a Parents’ Night crowd of over 5,000 fans with an impressive 24-8 win over Liberty that stressed the squad's winning theme — togetherness. “It was definitely a team effort,” said squad captains Bruce Rarig and Panik, we stick together. The gridders got off to a quick start with a 62-yard first quarter drive that ended with Joe Gerencscr Jr. covering the final yard up the middle and Cole rushing for the first of his conversions. After a Hurricane TD and an exchange of safeties, the Zephs held a slim 10-8 halftime lead before breaking the game open with two second half touchdowns. Ed Podorsky tallied on a three-yard blast while Rarig scooped up a fumble and rambled 26 yards for the other score and his first touchdown ever during his three years of varsity ball. The defensive line of Dave Kratzer, Standorf, Jerry Sukanick. Ernie Ruch, and Rarig was very effective against Liberty, holding the Hurricane to a -13 yards rushing. Coach Gerencscr picked up his 100th career win at the hands of his high school alma mater when his “Zephyr Machine completely tore apart Northampton 55-6 to gain its second straight continued trs The Zephs completely tore apart the Canaries of the 390 yards gamed on the ground and added 55-7 for their fifth straight win.

Cole threw two TD aerials to Panik from 43 and 33 yards out while Millen connected with Bob Fischer for an 18-yard strike. In recognition of coach Gerencser’s feat, the cheerleaders, with the help of the Gerencser family. threw a party for the team at the Whitehall field house following the game. The ravenous gridders consumed 200 hotdogs and three cakes with Panik earning the title of the biggest appetite” by gobbling 10 frankfurters. More dinners were to come as the Zephyrs were hailed at a banquet arranged by Harold Mickley and Jim Osmun of the City Vu Diner and a testimonial dinner sponsored by avid Whitehall citizens. Already having won the EPC crown, Whitehall’s 21-14 come-from-behind Turkey Day win over Emmaus was just icing on the cake. Evening the rival series at 23-23-2, the Zcphs wound up their second undefeated season in four years, while extending their two-year win streak to 16 before a Thanksgiving crowd of nearly 10,000 fans.

Emmaus gave the Zephyrs a scare when it capitalized on two Whitehall fumbles to take a 14-0 first quarter lead. The gridders battled back the second period with Cole's one-yard dive and Nemeth’s placement to cut the margin in half.

As they ran through the campus and the neighboring forest, the cross country runners were almost completely enveloped in this setting. The autumn winds were a part of almost every field hockey contest. A common sight at the matches was the girls’ waving hair and spirited play. As the winds helped the hockey team stay cool, they also proved to be a hazard for the girls tennis team as it had to battle the breeze and an opponent. If anyone could appreciate the splendor of autumn, it was the golf team, as it was surrounded by the beauty of the course and the splendor of nature. Cross country runners lost their closing meets of the season to Emmaus and Parkland resulting in a disappointing 5-9 overall season. “To the spectator this indicates a not-so-successful season, emphasized Tom Grammes, “but as coach of the team any season is successful if the individuals perform to the best of their ability. Since most team members gave a 100 percent performance, the season had to be a success.” The harriers were led by seniors Mike Rieker, Bob Noll, and Dennis Knauss. Future seasons look promising as many underclassmen ran competitively with the seniors. Two outstanding freshmen, Steve Stockmal and Ken Fager, ended their individual seasons with successful standings. Stockmal competed in the District XI meet at Fiidden Valley Golf Course, and Fager placed third in the freshman division of the East Penn League meet at Lehigh University. The Zephs as a team finished in fifth place in that competition. They performed at their peak in the Dieruff meet at Lehigh Parkway by stomping the Huskies 15-50. Despite the poor weather, the harriers took the top four positions as Noll, Rieker, Knauss, and Barry Laudenslager outran the Huskies. A double win was the result of a triangular meet against Phillipsburg and Bethlehem Catholic in which the Zephyrs ran to 24-31 and 15-47 wins respectively. Rieker paced Whitehall by capturing second place, followed by Knauss in third. The Zephyrs coasted through 38 an easy 19-40 win over rival Northampton. Six runners placed in the top 10 positions with Rieker finishing first with a time of 18:04. Whitehall was dealt two tough breaks as Liberty and William Allen defeated the boys with identical one-point margin losing scores. Liberty beat the boys 27-28 with Rieker taking third place, and Allen won with Noll ending the 3.1 mile run in sixth place for the first Whitehall finish. District competition proved to be a disappointment to the Zephs as no runners advanced to state competition. Rieker paced Whitehall, finishing in 35th position. “The team’s performance depended mainly on the underclassmen who were too inexperienced, commented Noll. Tall grass is only one of the many obstacles At Seier and Barry Laudenslager had to face on Whitehall's 3.1 mile cross country course The underclassmen's running proved vital to the team as the middle-of-the-pack finishers usually determined a meet’s outcome. Experience was gained by the female runners as they rounded off their unscheduled season with a District XI championship. In this meet, the girls handed Emmaus a 48-52 loss. This win resulted in a first place team standing, advancement to states, and a team trophy. States proved disappointing to the girls as they finished 12th out of 14 teams. The girls agreed that states was a greater challenge than they had expected. Excellent runners from all over the state were much more experienced and led the race at a faster pace continued 39 FALL SPORTS continued l i t i 2nd, 3rd, and 4th places. Cold weather again struck an important meet as the chilled runners competed at District XI. In the second run-in with the Emmaus Hornettes, all the Zephyrettes finished the hilly golf course in top finishing positions. Crush finished 5th, Vlattas 6th, with the others not too far behind. “We were really pleased with the season’s outcome,” said Karen, “and I hope we can do as well next season.” Next year’s success depends on an increase in team membership. Five race finishers are required in order to qualify as a team, and the squad will have only four experienced runners returning. than the girls were used to running. The young squad, consisting of Martha Vlattas, Betsy Deichmeister, Sandy Crush, Karen Shedmock, Kathy O'Donnell, and Diane Heydt, gained running experience competing with the boys as well as other girls during the season. “It Was really great running with the guys,” commented Vlattas. “We worked extra hard while having a lot of fun. The harriers began competition with an easy win over Catasauqua. Although only a scrimmage, this race was the only taste of competition they encountered before entering the league meet.

Maureen Shaughnessy had another banner year tallying 15 of Whitehall’s 21 goals to become one of the top scorers in the East Penn League. The Zephyrettes also placed two girls on the EPL All-Star team. Shaughnessy was chosen as the first team’s center while right wing Jayne Augustine was named to the second team.

Shaughnessy led the attack scoring three goals while Pat Kubik added the other. Despite such a strong start the Zephyrettes were plagued by inconsistency throughout most of the first half of play, especially against the league's perennial powers. New Jersey state champion Phillipsburg and archrival Northampton both capitalized on Whitehall's errors to gain 2-0 and 3-0 shutouts respectively. Poor stickwork and fouls proved to be the girls' downfall in a 3-1 loss to Parkland. Shaughnessy tallied the lone Zephyr goal. The Zephyrettes gave Emmaus the option of taking the long shot, which the Hornettes used to their advantage in another 3-1 defeat. Shaughnessy again was the only Whitehall scorer. EPL champion Easton blanked the Zephyrettes twice with identical 1-0 scores. In the first match-up the Roverettes tallied on a controversial score that saw goalie Shelly Salway receive an injured nose.

Percival tied for first in the East Penn League Tournament with an 83. The early season showed the inexperience of the team as it was handed three decisive defeats. Confidence, however, began to build despite two losses, to Northampton 400-405 and to Bethlehem Catholic 410-415.

The many innovative programs incorporated into the curriculum made the basics appear as just a stepping stone to wider variety of course offerings while adding an even heavier workload to the administration, guidance department, and faculty. Transition classes, advanced college courses, and a resource room were just a few of the changes that helped make the 1976-77 school term a little bit different than any other experienced before. New faces in many departments meant new modes of teaching in several subjects, and more selection in course curriculum.

But what might have proved to be the most complex duty was reviewing the agenda brought to him before presenting it to the school board with or without his approval. “The buck stops here,” explained Mr. Yakubecek, “and the real pressure is trying to keep everyone not just happy but satisfied as well.

The controversy over whether to rehire Thomas Szabo as varsity basketball coach after two losing seasons, sparked angry verbal battles in many monthly sessions. When it came down to the final vote, only three directors voted against Mr. Szabo’s appointment. “I feel it would have only been fair to open the position up to other applicants,” said Mrs. Elizabeth Buchmillcr. Early in December the board elected Owen Eberhart Jr. as its president to succeed Mrs. Buchmillcr who had served as the board’s first woman president. At its May meeting the nine-member board faced a large crowd of involved citizens, teachers, and students when it announced its budget proposals to cut several teaching positions. I feel it would have only been fair to open the position up to other applicants. course offerings, and sports activities for next year. Originally the board proposed a 2Vi mill increase that would also mean the elimination of some assistant coaches, golf, cross country, swimming, driver education, two teacher aides, a library aide, a guidance secretary, an art, social studies, French, and remedial reading teacher in the high school. and a $15,000 dust collector, while even more drastic changes took place district wide. “ The cuts beings proposed are the ones that can be readily made with minimum impact on the students. After listening to disturbed citizens at the June meeting, the board adopted a 3 mill increase and decided to retain boys’ and girls’ swimming programs, assistant coaches for football, basketball, and baseball, driver education, the dust collector, and begin to faze out the French program. “The cuts being proposed,” said Samuel Schaadt, director.

Gone are the days when janitors, cafeteria workers, and bus drivers are simply employed to provide a service to the school. Instead, the time has come when these workers have become an intricate and needed part of the school system who do more than put in an eight-hour day. New tasty additions to the menu, janitors who are willing to open the school doors early just to help a student out, and safety-minded bus drivers all contributed to the smooth running conditions created by the efficient staff. Probably the most appreciated change occurred in the cafeteria when a salad bar was opened to calorie conscious students and teachers. Satisfying the needs of just about everyone, the salad bar was a confirmed step forward in the cafeteria. “When the hot lunch” seems to filling,” said Sherri Saffell, senior. Faithful custodian Tony Fassman takes a break from his rigorous schedule to watch the Zephs perform during a home basketball game. Notorious hamburger gravy is mixed by Mrs. Jean Hunsicker from a recipe which she could recite during her sleeping hours. Grateful to have more variation at lunch time is Tom Rosenblatt, junior, as he purchases a salad at the newly added salad bar. The light lunch proved 66 After senior Gary Sehlaffer sets down his tray, all his leftovers are easily disposed of by the new dishwasher-compacter installed in the F-cafe. “I enjoy the salad as a substitute. Overseeing all aspects of the kitchen was John Lakis, food service director, along with Mrs. Jean Hunsicker, his right hand helper, who managed the cafeteria. With the installation lobe a favorite among teachers, athletes, and calorie counters on days when the hot lunch seemed to be just too much to eat of a new dishwasher-compacter in the F-cafeteria clean-up was made easy as the entire day’s garbage was reduced into a single garbage container. “No other school in the area owns a machine like this, said Mr. Lakis. “The machine helps to eliminate the extra janitorial services previously needed while we save on sewage as well because it recycles 80 percent of the water used.

Helping several Financially destitute organizations, the kitchen staff also provided needed advice on how to run a hoagie sale. It was the custodial staff that was plagued with making sure all the inner workings of the school were in tip top condition at all times. Whether it was keeping the thermostats low during the energy crisis in January or trying to fix the air conditioning in some rooms during the sweltering days of June, this well managed crew was always on top of things. For many industrious students who stayed long hours after school for some activity, the night crew workers became a common and welcome sight to see. Janitor Ed Slanovits kept things lively with his humorous antics, while custodian Bernie O’Donnell often promised to reveal his life story to Owl editors who were frantically trying to meet their newspaper deadline. After a 19-year stint of working within the district, the last 10 of which were spent in the high school, it was time for Tony Fassman, head custodian, to retire.

Keeping the right bus on the right schedule at the right time was a major part of the operations in the garage besides all the mechanical work that was continually being done. Mr. Sodl was also in charge of the maintenance work on all buses to keep them running with as few break downs as possible.

Left: Slavic heritage is portrayed by Anastasia Januszczak, a typical Polish woman. Right: Four generations of Priscilla Mullner's Austrian background. In these United States of America exists the fallacy of the Melting Pot” which is based on the theory that people of all nationalities, races, and backgrounds become one in this great land where racism, ethnocism, and sexism have no base. According to Ms. Caroline Golab, an assistant professor at the University of Pennsylvania and the grandchild of Polish immigrants in Chicago, this concept is all “Hooey.” “The Melting Pot was never workable,” Golab contends. “It failed for three major reasons: first, it assumed that changing people was an easy thing to do — as simple as changing one's shoes and socks. Secondly, it assumed that the immigrants wanted to change because the desire to become ‘American’ was irresistible. Thirdly, it assumed that the host society would welcome the newcomers with open arms; that is, it assumed that Anglo-Saxon Americans would also agree to be melted down and formed into new creations. This mythology of the Melting Pot has blinded us from our past, distorted our history, and taught us all to be ashamed of and embarrassed by our heritage, and unkindest cut of all, turned our diversity into discord.” For these reasons different nationalities and races have kept their traditions and uniqueness. Whitehall is no exception to the rule as in the approximately 1,600 students in attendance there are four races and hundreds of ethnic backgrounds represented. While Shelly Salway, great-great granddaughter of Sioux Indian Chief Red Cloud, portrayed her heritage in the Indian decor of her living room, Shoba Gupta’s Far East Indian heritage was evident in her family's Indian fashion shop at the Lehigh Valley Mall. However, Whitehall is a predominantly German-Auslrian and Pennsylvania Dutch area which accounts for the love of German polkas, waltzes, button accordians, and beer steins, preferably fdled with beer. The Slavic people also form a large percentage of the local population with the Polish and Czech celebrating their Christmas Eve in the truly traditional way complete with pierogies, homemade mushroom soup, and the sharing of oplatek while the majority of Ukranians still abide by the Julian calendar celebrating their Christmas on January 7. Upon coming to Whitehall, Dong Bang, a native of Korea, brought his cultural talent of karate with him in the form of a black belt equivalent to America's brown belt. This year five students from various backgrounds also transferred to the high school from Israel, Germany, and Iran. 76 CLASSES (Freshmen) nam from IF PRTTFRNi' OF FLOFRS T'was the fall of ’76 and the freshman class quickly picked up Whitehall’s pulsating tempo as 403 underclassmen were absorbed into the student body.

The class quickly mobilized and in December newly appointed adviser Charles Barhight directed elections for class officers. Four felicitous females were the victors and assumed full command of the fledging class. Commander-in-chief was Heidi Baer, an animal lover and aspiring veterinarian. Her capable right-hand man was vice president Lisa Fasching. Secretary Jackie Augustine was in charge of keeping the minutes and trying to interpret the major decisions from the other confusion and bedlam, Sharon Wheeler as treasurer was responsible for keeping the new bank account in order. Heidi summed up her feelings saying, “It was a new and different experience and we all enjoyed being so involved with the class.” continued Roseann Frisch Dale Fritz Todd Fritzingcr Annette Gallucci Jonna Gallucci Jane Ann Garger Anita Gaugler Kevin George Nicolas Gharzouzi Kathy Gilbert Thomas Girardi Timothy Goodin Steven Graves Janet Green Corinne Hafner James Haggerty Michael Hammer Gregory Hamscher Larry Hanlon Curtis Hanzl Timothy Harakal Gregory Harris David Hartzell Laura Hartzell Todd Heffclfingcr Jerome Heffner Donna Heil Patricia Henry-Frank Herr Joslyn Hertzog David Hetrick Diane Hcydt James Hilbert Karla Hittinger Louise Hoch Robin Hodes Haley Hoffman Robert Holder Cynthia Horvath Linda Hourt Timothy Howells Jcanmarie Hudock Mary Humanick Jane Ann lampietro Mark lobst Jody Jacobs Lisa Jacobs Amal Jafar CLASSES (Freshmen) continued FREi'HMHN If CROW NED TOPMERMRIO OF THEPOOL Fund-raising quickly got under way and the Coplay Discount was the site of their first bake sale which netted $100.

In a different light Diane Ileydt was winning other kinds of laurels. The pool was her court and a swimming cap her crown as she completed her first year on the girls’ swimming team as the top point scorer. Finishing with a total of 125 points, Diane was well ahead of senior Martha Vlattas who was second with a total of 88 points. Her main events were the 100-yard breaststroke and the 200 individual medley and in both she succeeded in setting school records. Diane was also a member of the girls track and cross country teams.

Talented drummer Henry Lokay certainly drummed up a storm in the Student Government Talent Show. He gave the crowd a solo performance that started everyone talking about him and was the featured drummer in the annual Band Concert May 13.

He missed all of his old friends in Denmark where he spent a year as an exchange student. “I had to do a lot of readjusting.” remarked David, “since things are much freer overseas than in the United States. For example, students in Denmark were allowed to smoke in a designated area within school, whereas smoking is prohibited here.

Sue Wuchter was the winner of this honor and she also received the Girl of the Year award presented by the Whitehall Woman’s Club.

Bob was manager and student trainer for three years for the varsity football team, while Sheri headed the flag line in the band unit for the same length of time.

Unlike Cindy and Rita, who shouted their way to fame, Maureen Shaughnessy shot her way there when she scored her 1,000 point total with a lay-up basket at the Bethlehem Catholic game. Mo, as she is commonly called, was one of three Lehigh Valley girls to ever achieve this goal.

When date hunting proved difficult at school, both sexes took to the streets, really the Northampton or Allentown circuits. These were strips in two different cities, where kids from various neighboring schools could show off souped-up cars or just meet other kids. All along these streets, teenagers called to each other from open car windows, and sometimes even pulled one another over to the roadsides for a quick rap session before they agreed to meet at McDonald's over a quarter-pounder, fries, and a coke.

Fortunately no one. including Maryesther. was hurt by the horseplay. 133 DEATHS in mEmoniRm By Sue Wuchter While happiness was a major part of high school life, grief also struck with a powerful impact as Whitehall students faced the deaths of two members of the school population. Jill O'Neil, who died in September of 1975, would have graduated with the class of 1977 if an automobile accident had not claimed her life. Originally from Pittsburgh, Jill moved to Whitehall in her freshman year, and before too long became a valuable asset to the art department. She spent every spare minute in the art room working on some new project. “Personally, working with her gave me a lot of encouragement,” said Michael Watson, Jill's art teacher. “It seemed that every new material was natural to her and she picked it up quickly. She was one of the five, if not the most, talented students in art.” Jill's future plans included going on to commercial art school to major in fashion design. “She once made a portrait of me that was just excellent,” remembered Mr. Watson. “1 offered to pay for it, but instead we decided to exchange art projects and she was to choose one of my pieces. We never got to it.” Tragedy again hit home when a much loved biology teacher. Jill O'Neil Edgar Steckel. died in December of 1976 after a year’s battle with cancer. Mr. Steckel refused to become idle after contracting the disease, and resumed teaching although his health was failing. Devotion to his profession was not only evident in his last years of life, but also was a major characteristic of his entire life. In 1960 the Lehigh Valley Heart Association recognized him with a Research Grant for his special extracurricular work with 16 students, while in 1966 he was awarded the Superior Science Teacher certificate by the Pennsylvania Science Teachers' Association. A Whitehall alumnus, Mr. Steckel was also active in community affairs and served as a township commissioner from 1970-75. “I worked with him 23 years,” said Peter Rim, chemistry teacher, “and 1 don't believe that in my lifetime I will ever find a man of his stature to replace him.” The old proverb, “each life affects the other” adequately describes the way students, faculty, and administrators were touched by both Jill and Mr. Steckel and both will be remembered for their own special way of giving to everyone with whom they came in contact. @ Always interested in community and world affairs.

While much of the country spent the year picking up fragments of Bicentennial fireworks, shattered politics, and splintered foreign affairs; searching for answers to birthrights, gay rights, and right of way; and finding oil. Id Amin, and inner peace; Whitehall continued moving ahead with little resistance and much optimism. Not content with just a sudden burst of patriotism, the community still sizzled with celebrations of the Bicentennial long into September. An ox roast dinner at the middle school cafeteria climaxed festivities at Whitehall Bicentennial Weekend which began September 24. October featured a re-enactment of the last Indian massacre in Lehigh County at the actual massacre site. The first Bicentennial Ball. to which costumes of all styles from the last 200 years were worn, was such a success that a second one was held late in October. The latest addition to the community raised controversy, lawsuits, ardent supporters, and tax revenue. It was the new Lehigh Valley Mall, which opened in October, with space for more than 130 stores including Bamberger's and JC Penney. The coming of supposedly the largest mall this side of the Mississippi River had undoubted benefits such as greater convenience and selection, more sources continued Indians re-enact last Lehigh County massacre and. above, visitors enter newly dedicated park COMMUNITY conunued Unpleasant winter conditions cause hazardous walking on snow covered Cementon bridge.

On the negative side, however, complaints were brought up concerning dirt and air pollution during construction and last minute checks proved problems in fire control regulations concerning proper lighting and designation of fire control equipment, and lack of sewage disposal. Mayor Joseph Dadonna of Allentown, local businessmen, and two Whitehall citizens posed a law suit against the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation in an attempt to stop the breaking of the MacArthur Road medial barrier for the mall traffic, but the injunction attempt failed “Now that the Lehigh Valley Mall is finally a reality, the township is beginning to reap the benefits, concluded Mrs. Claire Levanduski a commissioner. “It will certainly be a tremendous boon to Whitehall's economy. The much publicized election in November forced the public to decide between a liberal Jesus-bclieving down-to-earth man who spreads an ear-to-ear smile as easily as peanut butter, and a timid, often stumbling, but experienced and knowledgeable conservative. Students polled on the election chose candidate Jimmy Carter over incumbent Gerald Ford by a slim margin. This was not far off national returns as Jimmy became President. continued 139 COMMUNITY continued Now we can only hope that Carter’s beer-drinking brother Billy will not steal away Carter’s publicity since in Plains, Georgia, bumper stickers read “This is the home of Billy Carter and Jimmy.” As fall slowly froze into winter, a lack of fuel energy numbed fingers while a lack of human energy numbed minds. Everything settled down as snow fell and fell and fell. The record-breaking cold was equaled only by the record-breaking shortage of fuel. The energy conserving program was carried out over the whole nation which served to show how a concentrated effort can be successful. In the medical field, a feared epidemic of swine flu kept the country in suspense. Vaccinations were planned in a nation-wide campaign, and the elderly and many others received them before the deaths of a few victims raised eyebrows of the skeptic and doubt ridden. It was then that the extensive program was halted. The swine flu never reached epidemic proportions, but it sure gave drug companies a welcomed shot in the arm.

No coach or team wants to lose, but unhappy fans caused many problems for coach Szabo and the team. By Lori Groller Two years ago Whitehall's basketball program suffered a dramatic reversal in terms of its won-lost record as the Zephyrs suffered through a bitter induction into the newly formed East Penn Conference. The trend hasn't changed and to the anguish of many fans the hoopsters finished with another poor 3-20 slate. It was a young team though; with a pair of sophomores and a freshman regularly a part of the “starting five,’’ so an eye is to the future. The junior varsity and frosh squads did not fare much better while head coach Thomas Szabo retained his job for another year despite many controversial disputes. Maureen Shaughnessy eclipsed the girls’ season by reaching the 1,000 point mark in scoring and leading her team to a 13-5 team and a second place finish in Division I of the EPL. Encountering a variety of problems throughout the year, ranging from personal conflicts to inexperience, the varsity hoopsters fell to another disappointing 3-20 record “Even though our record was not too good, our young players did gain experience for next year,” said captain Steve Mohr. Despite its poor record, the team still qualified for district competition under last year’s league rule. In the first round of the District XI playoffs. Freedom pulled away in the final period for a 63-46 victory. Most Zephyr fans would have predicted a very successful campaign after the season opener as Southern Lehigh fell to the cagers 71-51.

By Audrey Hichar Martha Vlattas Controversy surrounded Zephyr swimming teams as Charles Plotsko filed a grievance with the U.S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare’s Office of Civil Rights against the school district. Miss Maryann Iasiello was hired by the school board to coach the girls’ team over Mr. Plotsko and he alleged sex discrimination. Mr. Plotsko later applied and was accepted as coach of the boys swimming team. While the boys and girls swimming teams floundered with 1-10 and 0-11 records respectively, the wrestling team finished the season with a 5-11 overall record. Robert Kratzer, coach, attributed the losing season to a lack of depth in the squad. Tom Suppan and Tim Thibault led the team in scoring with 49 and 46 points respectively. Although the girls swim team finished with a disappointing 0-11 season, there were some outstanding individual performances. In the District XI Swimming Championships freshman Diane Heydt led all the Whitehall qualifiers with her sixth place finish in the 200 individual medley. She also took seventh in the 100 breaststroke. Other individual competitors included Martha Vlattas, Jaime Pastorius, and Carolyn Roman. The girls compiled 38 team points to place ninth in their division. Internal problems plagued the squad throughout most of the season and was cited by many members as the main reason for such as unsuccessful campaign. “If we would have worked more as a team things could have improved,” said Jean Sharkazy, sophomore. “We were a young team, though, added Miss Maryann Iasiello, new coach. “There were only five seniors and one junior on the squad, so I’m looking for much better results next year.

Once again the cheerleaders led a successful year of instilling spirit in the student body. In preparation for the coming season the girls attended a summer cheering camp at East Stroudsburg State College where they received a number of top awards. The varsity and junior varsity pepsters cheered for basketball and football while the freshman pepsters cheered for freshman football and girls varsity basketball. Each of the three squads alternated cheering for field hockey, cross country, girls tennis, and boys and girls swimming. The cheerleaders entered many competitions throughout the year and earned four first place trophies. “One of the most unforgettable first places we earned was at the Archbishop Kennedy competition in Philadelphia,” explained Tina Pletchan, varsity pepstcr. “The judges announced that we were third and we left, but Rita Nederostek discovered a mistake in the adding of the score sheets and as a result we received the first place trophy. Another landmark in Whitehall’s cheerleading history was the First Annual Zephyr Cheerleading competition. Here the varsity squad achieved another first place by accumulating 310 out of a possible 320 points. The junior varsity squad also took first by a commanding 43 point margin over the other squads. The freshman squad placed second. Northwestern High School held the Lehigh Valley Area Cheerleading competition and Whitehall's squad took the crown.

By Paul Lynch Carole Reinert Paying for crowd control for the three drama productions was not exactly a pressing matter for the school. But despite the lack of large crowds, the people who did come were treated to three fine and enjoyable shows. While not as financially successful as its musical predecessors, “You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown” was equally as well done. The show ran into early trouble just as the small six-cast company was hyping itself up for opening night. Word came that the schools would be closed due to the energy crisis which plagued the country. It was well over a month before the show could be rescheduled, but it finally opened March 17 and played for three nights. The musical was a series of excerpts from the book based on the “Peanuts” comic strip by Charles M. Schultz with music and lyrics continued ENTERTAINMENT continued fVotTRE A GOOD man! L CHARLIE SRQWWj by Clark Gesner. The show was directed by Mrs. Cathy Roberts, Floyd Williams, and student director Melissa Simon, senior. “From Valentine’s Day to the baseball season, from wild optimism to despair — they are all mixed in with the lives of his friends (both human and non-human) and strung together on the string of a single day,” says Gesner as he describes the plot. Although none of the old cast was six-years-old and no one really looked like the characters in Schultz’s “Peanuts” strip, it made little difference once the show captured the interest and imagination of the audience. Paul Lynch played Charlie Brown, while Todd Moyer portrayed Linus, Cathy Harmonosky, Lucy; Joe Broschak, Schroeder; Sue Weber, Snoopy; and Reylene Rex, Peppermint Patty. The cast of six was considerably smaller than the large companies of “My Fair Lady” and “Once Upon a Mattress.” “I like working with a smaller cast,” explained Mrs. Roberts, “because I find that it is easier to bring out more ability.” Mr. Williams, choral director, felt that the characters were “well cast and did a good job of learning their parts. Aid was also given by three other faculty members. Dwight Conrad, along with his shop classes, assembled the scenery. while Miss Linda Spector's freshman art classes lent a hand by painting it. As always, the reliable Puff ‘n’ Pencil Club, led by Miss Virginia Himler, aided the actors in applying makeup. What does a cast do when there is seemingly more people backstage than in the audience? Grit their teeth and really ham it up! That’s what the cast of “Blazing Guns at Roaring Gulch” did. And the few that did come, a grand total of 99 in two nights had a ball. The senior class play centered around twin brothers separated at an early age who are arch-enemies when they meet in Roaring Gulch. Dave Rappaport played the rotten Snipe Vermin on the run from, unbeknownst to Snipe, his twin brother, Harry Heartstone, also played by Dave. Snipe and his sidekick, a stagestruck farm boy named Bill Filbert, Paul Lynch, rent a hotel room from Barney, whose stepmother, the evil Widow Black, played by Cindy Schwenk, stole his father’s will and now owns the hotel.

The two performing groups intermingled comedy and music in the themes of their annual spring concerts. Numerous activities filled their schedules to the brim at Christmas time, while trips, tournaments, and parades highlighted the rest of the year. The climax, however, for the choir was its trip to Washington, D.C., where the group sang at the Lincoln Memorial. “We really had a fantastic time,” raved Karen Reichl. “It proved to be educational and fun, which is sometimes a hard thing to pull off.” Besides their own concert, the group attended the Shirley MacLaine show at the Kennedy Center Opera House and also spent a great deal of time sightseeing.

New to the choir was the addition of a 20-voice mixed ensemble which performed for various school, church, and civic organizations.

Flea markets, hoagie sales, pie sales, newspaper drives, and carwashes were just a few ways the group raised the money needed. “It was not easy raising all that money,’ stated senior Robin Lesurc, “but it was worth it once we got to Florida.” As for competitions, the band's arch-enemy was not the rival bands, continued Neighboring Caiasauqua Rough Rider band competes between rain drops at the Whitehall Tournament of Bands on a Sunday afternoon.

It all depends on the teachers and people occupying it, making it what it is. That room can become a heaven or a hell; a place where feelings ranging from ease and belonging to unrest and discordance can reign. Each person who occupies a space in that room contributes to the general atmosphere. It is each and every person’s responsibility to give that class an air conducive to learning while having fun at the same time. Here at Whitehall, we like to think that this atmosphere occupies the majority of our classrooms. In order to ease boredom caused by year-long classes in a subject in which the material can be covered amply in a semester, the administration developed semester courses in such areas as sociology, philosophy, writing, and novels. The consensus of the students in these classes was that the semester concept was a good move since it enabled students to get a taste of various areas, broadening their academic background. Field trips also eased the tedium of the routine classroom study as students of almost every subject ventured anywhere from Germany to San Francisco, while skits often entertained those who stayed behind. With a makeshift costume and a few gag lines, the class would be in a total uproar. Workshops also helped to alleviate utter boredom, like the roving poet who conducted a workshop once a week for four weeks. continued 187 COURSE CORNER (Communications) continued Anyone for Blindman s Bluff?

McCullage. Mr. McCullage presented writing experiences for the learning craftsmen and then reviewed their often remarkable results. Senior Cathy Smith had one of her poems published in Mr. McCullage’s poetry column of the “Weekender” newspaper. “I was really surprised to have my poem actually published,” exclaimed Cathy. “It was really something else!” “Octopus!

At Topton, only the ambulatory section was viewed, including a crafts room and the physical therapy department. In Lancaster, students saw displays of various new techniques including innovative ways of taking molds and x-rays. While health assistant students were out galavanting to area nursing homes, distributive education students were working at various jobs across the Lehigh Valley. Judy Snyder, one of these girls, accepted a job at Bamberger’s. “I really like my job,’’ said Judy. “If it wouldn't have been for the Vo-Tech program, it would have been hard getting a job, but with the experience I acquired at school job-hunting was a breeze.” First-year distributive education pupils were required to attend This pipe's connected to the main pipe.

A metric toolbox was awarded to Brian Fink for his meritorious work in Auto Service Mechanics, while a certificate of merit was earned by Gary Roth for his work in Auto Body Repair Sandra Westwood also received a certificate for her outstanding work in the course of Institutional Occupations. With the beginning of the new year, plans were started for a new addition to the school. The wing will be known as the Moepine Occupational Experiences wing and was designed with the theory that it would give all incoming sophomores an explorational approach to choosing a career. With the addition, no longer will the school have to turn away as many students as was necessary this year and in the past.

The academic classes were conducted by David Stcvcr, Joe McAndrcw, and Frank Wirth. Some of the jobs which students worked on included completing a block building concession stand in East Texas, Vfacungie, and renovating some houses on South Fifth Street and North Fifth Street in Allentown into apartments for the elderly.

However the highlights of the evening were definitely the tug of war contest and the pie-eating contest. Student Government assemblies proved to be the brunt of many jokes as they were usually poor. However, although the choice of assemblies was often grabbed out of the student officers’ hands by the administration, they still took the teasing with quiet smiles. The talent show assembly at the end of the year made up for the failures of the past as it consisted of serious and often times humorous talent.

By Lori Groller Baseball helped soothe the wounds incurred by the winter sports season as all three squads ended with winning slates and combined for a 38-14 overall record against East Penn Conference opponents. Despite not making the first state baseball tournament, the varsity team took the EPC crown with a fine 19-5 mark. It was the seventh league title for head coach Joseph Steiner as he upped his personal coaching record to 190 wins against 61 losses. Steve Prazenka and Willie Roman became two of many Whitehall standouts to attain Player of the Week honors from the Call-Chronicle Newspapers and the Zephyrs placed five on the EPC All-Star team. The girls softball squad recovered from a mid-season slump and finished 9-5 while the junior varsity baseball team showed its promise for the future with a 10-4 slate. Embroiled in a dramatic season-long battle with three other teams for the Division I championship of the East Penn Conference, the varsity baseball squad found no easy games, but still managed to finish with a fine 19-5 overall slate and the EPC crown. At the start of the season we felt we had the potential to have a good year,” stated Joe Steiner, head coach. “However, we did not know if this potential would develop enough to give us a winning campaign. Our success was due to a great team effort. We had fine senior leadership and it seemed every game someone different picked up the team.” Northampton, Freedom, and Liberty all challenged the Zephyrs at one time or another for the Division I title and a berth in the EPC final. It was a down-to-the-wire struggle with Parkland falling to the Zephs 6-5 in the season finale to clinch a spot for Whitehall in the league championship against Reading. Steve Prazenka ripped a triple and a home run to back the one-hit relief pitching of Rick Coombe. Centerfielder Willie Roman led the Zephyrs past Reading for the EPC crown. The game was called during the sixth inning with the mittmen winning 13-3 due to the 10-run “mercy” rule. Roman's bases loaded blast drove home the final two runs but he was denied a gran slam because of the rule. Both encounters with Northampton proved to be intense with first place honors always on the line. continued 230 A powerful line drive draws Gary Schlaffer off his feet but the slick-fielding second baseman still manages to make the out.

The mittmen split decisions with Freedom winning the first, but dropping the rematch 7-3. In the first game Domitrovits and Roman each belted three-run homers as the Zephs scored eight first-inning runs, but it took a two-run double by Millen and a single by Charles in the fourth to pull out the win. Liberty fell to the strong pitching of Coombe and Roman's three-run triple in a 4-1 Zephyr victory. The Zephs entered the final inning trailing 1-0, but Roman unloaded his winning shot after Rick Fetherolf had scored the tying run on a wild pitch. The mittmen again capitalized on the opposing team’s errors in the Bethlehem Catholic contest as the Hawks outhit the Zephyrs 6-1, but Becahi could only manage one run to Whitehall's three.

In a Saturday afternoon encounter with Phillipsburg, the mittmen were not as lucky with a limited amount of hits as the Stateliners trounced the diamondmen 10-1. Whitehall picked up only four hits, three off the bat of Roman. Junior pitcher Tony Vlahovic threw a two-hitter in a 4-0 whitewash of Emmaus. Gary Schlaffer drove home Roman twice to account for two runs. Roman had another banner day against William Allen going 3-3 at the plate with four RBIs and Prazenka allowed only one hit in a 20-0 Whitehall romp. In the District XI competition Stroudsburg scared the mittmen with last inning heroics but the Zephyrs staged a fine come-from-behind effort to take the Mounties 6-5 in 11 innings. Trailing 4-2 with two outs in the bottom of the seventh, Schlaffer found himself staring in the eyes of elimination but he didn't blink and ripped a single that was followed by a Matt Mondschein double. Charles then knotted the score with a two-run triple, Mondschein drove in the game winner in the eleventh by smashing a drive continued 233 BASEBALL continued over the centerfielder’s head. Pottsville slugged three home runs and cruised to an 8-1 decision in the semifinals of district playoffs. The loss meant the end of the season for the Zephyrs, but it had been a good year. Tough breaks ruined the girls softball team’s bid for a playoff spot as three of the Zephyrettes’ five losses were decided by one run. The girls closed the season winning four straight to end with a successful 9-5 record. “We just didn't have any luck at times to pull through,” commented Edgar Beidleman, first year head coach. “But I admired the girls’ guts; they never gave up.” The Central Catholic contest clearly exemplified the Zephyrettes’ fighting spirit. Down 10-1 after four innings, the girls put together a tremendous three-inning rally to close the gap and hold a slim 14-13 lead going into the bottom of the seventh. But a two-run error in that frame marred Whitehall’s comeback as the Vikettes pulled away for the 15-14 win.

Coming into the contest without a loss, the Hurricane faltered early with wild, ineffective pitching but it took a pinch-hit single by Lisa Randolph in the bottom of the seventh to pull off the 8-7 triumph. Powell started the winning rally when she walked, took second on an error, stole third, and trotted home when Randolph delivered her hit past the Liberty shortstop. In the season finale the girls clearly dominated a strong Freedom squad in a 8-5 upset victory. Laglcr picked up five RBIs with a grand slam home run and a triple.

The Hawks challenged the little Zephs to two slugfests and came out on top of both with almost identical 11-6 and 10-4 scores. In the first contest Becahi used four hits and four Whitehall errors to erupt for an eight-run sixth inning come-from-behind victory, while in the second it exploded for nine runs in the first inning and coasted from there. Tim Harakal led the jay vees to two early wins both on the mound and with his bat. He belted a home run in a 6-3 triumph over Freedom and held Central Catholic to just two hits thereby securing a 4-2 win. Gary Greb’s two-run double gave the mittmen an early two-run lead against Parkland, but the sixth inning wiped out Whitehall again as the Trojans scored eight runs in that frame on their way to an 8-5 decision.

Boys track and tennis teams just couldn't get it off the ground and finished their seasons with 2-10 and 3-10 records. Girls track rounded off a better record, 6-5, and sent six girls to state competition. Holding the spotlight for the tennis team was No. 1 ranked Don Steiner who captured the varsity award for his outstanding playing for two consecutive years. Representing Whitehall in district competition, Steve Mohr, Steve Panik, and Mike Rieker captured sixth place finishes to highlight the dismal boys track season. Lisa Brown and Betsy Deichmeister each landed district titles in the 220-yard dash and the javelin to heighten the growing interest in girls track at Whitehall. Guys, gals show great interest in track; tennis also popular. The girls track team ended its 6-5 season on a happy note as six girls entered state competition. This was the highest number of girls ever to represent Whitehall at a state track meet. Individual competitors included Lisa Brown, who ran an astonishing :25.9 in the 220-yard dash, Maureen Shaughncssy in the 110-yard hurdles, and Betsy Deichmeister in the javelin. The 440-yard relay team of Shaughnessy, Michele Yaroma, Debbie Sukanick, and Jayne Miller were also entered in the competition. The tracksters opened the season with a 70-44 thrashing of Slatington. The 220-yard dash was swept by the Zephyrettes as Lisa Brown, followed by ((] L of) a °y � I ? iijiijt Straining to heave the shot put is No. I weight-thrower Betsy Deichmeister.

Steve Mohr, Steve Panik, and Mike Rieker captured sixth place finishes in the high jump, javelin, and mile run respectively. “The team had too few experienced members,” commented Mohr. “This resulted in a lack of the overall depth needed to be a winning team.” Coach Tom Grammes led the boys to their decisive win over Phillipsburg 85-65.
