Sincere Devotion The responsibility of advising and guiding the Class of 1970 was invested for three years in Mrs. Joann Ertel. To our class, she has given generously of her time as a planner and as a coordinator. The suc- cess with which our class has met the challenges and responsibilities of high school life is due in a large part to Mrs. Ertel. In our sophomore year, Mrs. Ertel formed and supervised the dues, color, and welfare committees. junior activities such as cap and gown distribution for the seniors and providing ushers for graduation were other areas in which Mrs. Ertel provided advice and helpful criticism. As seniors, with her help, we worked hard to make our play, our prom, and the class movie memorable events. Mrs. Ertel was born in Williamsport and was a graduate of Williamsport High School. In school she was active on the Billtown Banner staff and in the band. One of her accomplishments was her participa- tion in District and All-State Band. After graduation she attended Pennsylvania State University, where she earned her bachelor's and master's degrees in home economics. She then taught at Loyalsock High School until 1965 when she began teaching sewing and nutri- tion at Williamsport High School. Mrs. Ertel's husband, james, is a teacher at jackson Elementary School and shares her interest in antique collecting. Mr. Ertel collects antique phonographs and record players, one dating back to 1900. Mrs. Ertel also collects antique sewing machines, her oldest acquisition an 1859 model. Although Mrs. Ertel has been busy with her teach- ing, homemaking, and antique collecting, she has always given her time to our class to make our years at high school productive and promising ones. We pay tribute to her guidance and direction by dedicat- ing to her the 1970 LA MEMOIRE. - iw A rf Q- 4 Q' iiieiyi , ...L 5' A A - Mr. and Mrs. Ertel, both avid antique collectorsfproudly display their valuable antique phonograph.
