Through- out out livesat Wyomissing High School we have been leaping hurdles and striving for goals. Now comes the greatest achievement, a book in which we shall try to record the events and influences which have helped shape our characters. The theme we have decided upon for this publi- cation is Greek mythology, chosen because the tradi- tional yearbook title, Colophon, is Greek. Specific gods were picked to symbolize various facets of school ac- tivities, We have proceeded through the realm of Athena, with voyages into the freer jurisdictions of Pan, Dionysus, and the Dioscouri, and finally, after having served I-lebe for several years, we have reached the throne of Zeus and Hera. We hope the approval and blessings of these legendary gods as well as the ap- proval of posterity will shine upon our effort. ,Alma Mater Wyomissing, we sing. Praises to you we bring, Holding fast your pride and beauty Leadership in everything. Knowledge for all good and right, Courage, strength to seek the ligh Bearing high your torch of learning May we keep it bright. Our spirit will not fallg Alma Mater, we'll recall. Memories of you we'l1 treasure, Wyomissing High! Alma Mater, to you, We will always be true. Hail to thee and praise forever Pure white and clearest blue. Wyomissing High School. Highlights Pan, the fortunate owner of a free spirit, spent his time cavorting about the woods playing his pipes. Be- cause his body was half man and half goat, it was natural that he should be the god of goatherds and shepherds as well as the god of nature, Pan's vocation was to provide huntsmen with game and flocks with fertilityg his avocation was to irritate the other gods with mischievous antics. This creature's free life personifies the year's highlights at Wyomissing High, which are as gay as Pan's eternal dance through the wild places of the earth. x'- fi-g .,-1 R xXf-' 5 ,72-X' XFX K Aer?

The week of September 3rd was strangely quiet at Wyof missing High School when these seventh and eighth grade students disappeared. Actually, they were participating in an outdoor educa- tion program at Camp Conrad Weiser, the second of its kind in our school history. The purpose of this project was to apply subjects like mathematics and science to nature, effecting, a deeper interest in these courses on the part of the students. Speak- ers on wild life, conservation, surveying, and astronomy provided entertaining as well as educational material. The junior high faculty, with the as- sistance of Wyomissing alumni and several seniors, became better acquainted with the students by living with them and serving as counselors. The sincere acceptance of the project by parents and students, as well as the tre- mendous support by the School Board, made this endeavor once more a success.

Like all goddesses, she was beautiful, but her beauty was of the mind and soul as well as of the body, and her furrowed brow did not detract from her physical attractiveness. Athena counseled that wisdom's reward is eventual victory in life, and wisdom is what our academic life tries to in- still in us. It is from our teachers that we absorb the principles and the knowledge to guide us through life.

Right- fully, the psalmist suggested that learning or education should have depth - that extra dimension which might be termed under- standing. Someone has said that a true education is that which discloses to the wise and hides from the foolish their lack of understanding. If this is true, then surely a really educated person should have more than a certain amount of schooling, a diploma, a report card with A's, or a college degree. He must have an appreciation of the finer things of life, such as friendship, humor, and beauty. To enjoy living outside of his own selfish pleasures, he must have a sense of values which permit him to see the importance of high ideals. Understanding is the only true security against anxiety and confusion. Cultivate your minds and hearts so that by familiarity with the great intellects of past and present you may be inspired and assured by under- standing. To do what one wants is plebiang the noble man aspires to order and to law. If education does not have as its end-product the creation of nobility among men, then it fails. This nobility, as the quotation above states, is achieved by the order and law that is demanded by our inner selves. If discipline comes only from strong internal forces, then we are, indeed, uneducated. In any society of free people self-discipline is essential. This is the core of freedom. When governments must intervene to secure order and law, then We have the negation of self-government. Early in the annals of our history such men as Penn and jefferson saw the necessity for education if the dream that made America was to reach fruition. And so they ad- vocated programs of education that would enable men to be truly free. Therefore, we hope that the Wyomissing schools have con- tributed to the making of good men and women, who through self-discipline, will assist in creating a really free society. It was Penn who said: - Governments, like clocks, go by the motion men give them. Good men make good governments. C Zzculty BERNARD ALLISON ' H. Y. BRUBAKER THELMA V.

School Heard The school board, acting as a liaison between the school and the community, serves to speak for the people, interpreting the needs and desires of the community. This organization elects five citizens to serve as members. Mr. Rank serves as advisor with permanent attendance while the other members are elected for four year terms. The newly elected officers are: Mrs. I. Richard Kitzmiller, president, Mr. john McConaghy, vice-presidentg Mr. John Bowman, treasurerg Mrs. Ray- mond McGonigle, secretary, and a new member, Mr. XVilliam Breitinger, Jr. The retiring member was Mr. Donald Charlton. The school board has the responsibility of selecting the The School Board discussing the year's agenda. faculty, levying and Collect' ing taxes, approving the budget, planning the cur- riculum to meet the needs and interests of the students and citizens, and, in general, determining school policy. To serve effectively, each member is on a different committee. One of the new plans be- fore the school board this year pertains to an expand- ing development program, concerning the athletic field - the track and baseball diamond. At present Wyo- missing is one of the few in- dependent school districts in the county. 20 SEATED-Mrs. C. Billmeyer, Mrs. R. Pendergast, Mr. W. Coblentz, Mrs. C. Meinig, Mrs. R. Ginn. STANDING-Mr. H.

Parent Crashers' Association The theme for the Parent Teachers' Association for the 1959-1960 season was Our Continuing Concern - All Children in This Changing World. Three of the outstanding programs which were planned for student participation were: the Halloween Party, an Open House at the High School, and a play entitled The Ins and Outs , which was presented for the psychological viewpoint. The P.T.A. held its meetings on the first Wednesday of each month. It is traditional for the P.T.A. to present a gift to the community for a service to the school. This year they have given the Wyof missing Public Library S250 to purchase special books observing the P.T.A. hobby display. for the students' use. They have also donated a new enlarger for the darkroom in the high school. The present officers are: Mr. Wendell I. Coblentz, presidentg Mrs. William Glosser, first vice-presidentg William L. Rosenberger, treasurerg Mrs. Ralph E. Pendergast, secretaryg and Mrs. R. Cameron Billmeyer, grade school representative. All of these officers suc- cessfully carry out the main purpose of the P.T.A., which is to promote the welfare of youth in home, school, and e community. 21 Mr. Allen W. Rank. Mr. B. Henry Shafer. if K Administration lf one were to ask who should be given credit for the smooth operation of Wyomissing High School's scholastic program, he would find his answer by observing the work of Mr. Allen Rank, supervising principal, and Mr. B. Henry Shafer, high school principal. Mr. Rank attended Princeton University, did graduate work at Harvard Graduate School, and received his master's degree at Columbia University. No newcomer to Wyomissing, Mr. Rank has been on the faculty since 1926. In 1930 he became principal, and from 1948 to 1954, he served in the capacity of both super- vising and high school principal. Now he Mrs. 1-,outman and Mrs. Miner. devotes his time exclusively to the super- vision of the school district. Mr. Shafer joined the school in 1955 when he took over the position of high school principal. He graduated from Freeburg High School and furthered his education at Sus- quehanna and Columbia Universities. At present he is working for his doctorate at Maryland. In addition to his responsibilities as principal, Mr. Shafer also teaches Problems of Democracy to the senior class and serves as a counselor for the students. Mrs. Miller and Mrs. Troutman have proved themselves indispensible in their book work and financial transactions. Mrs. Miller serves as receptionist and switchboard oper- ator. In addition to her duties as secretary, she handles all office correspondence and prepares all forms and transcripts. Mrs. Troutman handles all money, issues checks, orders and receives supplies, and checks at- tendance. These four people, working as a team, keep the school operating effectively and ef- ficiently. 22 Suglislz The seventh and eighth grades receive their English instruction from Mrs. Helen Getz, the ninth grade, from Mrs. Helen Houck. While in junior high, the student is schooled in the mastery of certain basic skills such as writing, spelling, use of the dictionary and organization, punctuation, and analysis of simple sentences. Once learned, these skills are combined and put to use in the writing of short themes, letters, and book reports. Each student learns to compare, analyze, and correct his work, aiming toward the elimination of his errors. New this year is a reading program for junior high students con- ducted by Mrs. Houck, who is using the Science Research Associates Reading Laboratory. This in- cludes Power Build- ers, Rate Builders, and Listening Skills. The Scott-Foresman Read- ing Service, which starts the second quarter, consists of basic reading skills. Mrs. Houck strives to make better, faster readers of her stu- dents. Increasing reading skills. Posting the best reports. The English course is designed to be a functional part of the academic program. Mr. Russell Milford is the instructor of the juniors and sen- iors, While Miss Naomi Pease instructs the sophomores. Sophomores a n d juniors make use of the Readers' Digest for further study in vocabulary, w h i l e seniors write themes every Friday, often- times employing a thesaurus to a i d them in their vocab- ulary. The seniors also use a grammar and vocabulary work book. students study Julius Caesar, eleventh graders devote time to American literature, and seniors read English literature. Overseeing the Friday themes. An Investigative Theme on a literary topic is re- quired of every senior before he can graduate. Ac- complishing this gives the students preparation for the working world as well as for college. It also gives each individual a chance for self expression, helping him to develop a logical style of writing, and to em- ploy skill in composition, grammar, and vocabulary. To develop proficiency in oral composition, each pupil is required to give a speech in his own class several times during the school year. Senior high English classes provide the students with a solid background for future college training. 23 Svcial Studies ln the New York Times today . . . World history - Mr. G's version. Here's Wyomissingi' The Social Studies course is a benefit to each student since it provides a background of in- formation which is of great value in helping him to understand better the problems of contem- porary life. h In the seventh grade, students are instructed in world history and geography. Under the guidance of Mr. Reitz and Mr. Goodling, the students acquire a basic knowledge of the 'Eastern Hemisphere. Eighth graders are educated in American history, which is supplemented by a geography course, both also under the direction of Mr. Reitz and Mr. Goodling. In the ninth grade, instructed by Mr. Gebensleben, pupils receive a course in civics and Pennsylvania history, in which they learn about the government and operation of their own state. Tenth graders are confronted again with the study of World history, also taught by Mr. Gebensleben. American history is re- peated in eleventh grade, only in a more de- tailed fashion, concentrating on the Civil War, the World Wars, and the Constitution. Seniors are taught a course dealing with problems of our American democracy, taught by Mr. Shafer. As part of this course, students journey to the Court House. Besides the compulsory history courses, there is, offered as an elective major, the psychology and sociology course under the supervision of Mrs. Knipe. This class, conducted in seminar fashion, gives the student a better understanding of himself, his behavior, and his actions. It also gives him the opportunity to leam the funda- mental laws of social relations. Notebooks are due Friday. 24 Languages All right now, people. The third plural of amo is not amatl Conjugation of new verbs. Included in the curriculum at Wyomissing High School are the modern languages, French and Spanish, along with ancient Latin. Mrs. Yvonne Millet introduces spoken French on the grade school level. This course is con- tinued through the eighth grade where it then becomes an elective. Since the foundation of the Romance Languages is Latin, most ninth and tenth graders be- come well indoctrinated in this subject before progressing to French or Spanish. Mrs. Florence Schrack, the Latin teacher, stresses vocabulary and grammar as a prerequisite for translation. Un- til the latter half of the sophomore year, when the students study Caesar, the translations con- sist of mythology. This year a third year Latin class has once again been formed. Latin not only helps students when studying other lan- guages, but also helps them in English by improv' ing vocabulary through the learning of deriva- Mrs. Millet and pupils. tives. A new teacher on our faculty, Miss Pease, teaches French to juniors and seniors. In ad- dition, French is being offered this year to the tenth grade students for the first time. In this course, Miss Pease stresses the fundamentals of the language and works to improve the students' skill in reading, writing, and speaking. The first year Spanish students, taught by Mrs. Knipe, begin to master the language of our neighbors south of the border . The second year Spanish students translate old Spanish fables, learn some ancient Spanish history and become familiar with new grammar and verbal constructions. 25 Sciences Science, an essential part of our educational background, brings the student into immediate touch with Magnetism demvrwtrafion- the universe. Because fields of science form so large a part of our human knowledge and because they are basic for many other fields of knowledge, Wyomissing welcomes it in its high school curriculum. The Science Department, under the direction of Mr. Sheetz, Mr. th -n ., Weik, and Mr. Manderbach, begins C gl 5. . . . . . with a generalized study in Junior high and becomes specialized for senior high. Seventh graders, with Mr. Manderbach, study such topics as air, fire, fuel, water, and simple machines. Through the outdoor ed- ucation program the students col- lected insects and made winter gardens. Weather, the human body, communication, and the solar system represent some of the phases studied in eighth grade, while matter, energy and work, heat, light, food, environ- ment, and plant and animal life, also taught by Mr. Manderbach, are studied by ninth graders. Mr. Sheetz, teaching biology to the tenth grade, acquaints the students with the organs and various systems of plants and animals. Dissections give the students a better understanding of their studies. Physics students, studying under Mr. Weik, make an intensive study of heat, light, sound, electricity, mechanics, and atoms, and then prove related theories by grt 41p experimentation. Chemistry, one of the seniors' science courses, also taught by Mr. Sheetz, involves atoms and their relations, solving chemical equations, and experimentation. Mr. Weik teaches Senior Science, which is an advanced general science course covering parts of chemistry and physics, to seniors not taking chemistry. These students also do experi- ments, although they have no specific lab periods. Junior high science courses are compulsory while those of senior high are elective. . . . and these are The mechanical advantage of pulleys. lt'll work! Please? 26 Jlflatlzcmatics Because a sound background in mathematics is so essential in the sciences, this course at Wyomissing Checking the is a compulsory subject in the seventh h0mCW0fk- through eleventh grades. It consists of arithmetic, algebra, plane geom- etry, and, in the senior year, trig- onometry and solid geometry. This department, under the supervision of Miss Thelma Brunner, Mr. Clarence Weik, and Mr. H. Y. Brubaker, has as its basic aim teach- gown theorem. ing the students to think logically and then apply the rules in every- day life. In the seventh grade course known as math pupils re- view their arithmetic and study in- terest rates. Eighth graders, still hav- ing math , delve into such things as investments, insurance, bonds, ratios and proportions, and get a taste of algebra. First year algebra, under Mr. Weik, is taught to the ninth grade. Introduced to second year algebra by Mr. Brubaker, the tenth graders are instructed in solving equations, square roots, and factoring. This class helps the students develop quick and accurate thinking. juniors are introduced to' plane geometry, in which they study theorems and constructions and develop logical thought pro- cedures. In their senior year students may have, as a major elective, the course of trigonometry and solid geometry. Here they study the relationship between sides and angles of a triangle, loga- rithms, and also learn to visualize in the third dimension complex solid figures. This course provides an excellent foundation for those students who wish to continue the study of mathematics in college. Also on the curriculum is a math review course offered to seniors, which helps them prepare for the College Board Examinations, and an advanced algebra course for seniors who wish to continue their study of this subject.

This year the department is under new guidance with Mrs. Margaret Stover advising and directing the classes. Some of the main facets which she covers during the year are: child care, housing for the family, personal, family, and com- munity relationships, and family health and safety. On the senior high level, the courses depend on the students' abilities and Now you can cut. Industrial ,Arts The Industrial Arts Department, under the leader- ship of Mr. D. C. Shirk, is divided into three main parts: woodworking, drafting, and photography, the first two be- ing compulsory subjects for boys in grades seven through nine. Woodworking and drafting help the boys develop skill in the use of various tools and machines, and in the reading of blueprints. In senior high these subjects be- come elective, with students taking as many periods a week as their schedules permit. Photography is also an elective in tenth and eleventh grades. The main objectives of this subject are not only to take and develop pictures but also to aid the students in understanding the mechanics of a camera. particular interests. Home Economics prepares the student for the future by helping her discover vocations in such fields as interior decorating, nutrition, and sewing. Examining the engine block. This is a good iob. Driver Zrnining The Driver Education course, headed by Mr. D. C. Shirk, strives to make good drivers of the tenth graders and to acquaint them with the Pennsylvania Motor Code. Meeting once a week, the classes use books prepared by the American Automobile Association, supplemented at various times throughout the year by films, pamphlets, and lectures. In addition, the students prepare a map of Wyomissing on which accidents in the borough are noted and then discussed by the class. When a student receives his learner's permit, he is started toward his driver's license by a road-training pro- gram given by Mr. Joseph Pitcherello, licensed driver- trainer instructor. 28 Physical Sducutiou Physical Education is a vitally important element in the educational program. At Wyomissing the program, under the direction of Mrs. Linderman and Mr. Allison, is set up to meet the individual's developmental needs, be they physical, mental, emotional, or social. The ac- tivities and learning experiences in physical education are broad in scope with emphasis upon the acquisition of worthwhile habits, attitudes, knowledge, and skills. Students take part in such sports as baseball, tennis, tumbling, field hockey, volleyball, basketball, and soccer. Through these diversified activities, students receive a well rounded knowledge of sports and sportsmanship. Working with the rings. Dissecting Oscar lfzbrary The library, under the guidance of Mrs. Rebecca Hygiene The Hygiene course helps students learn how to retain a healthy mind and body through a program car- ried out by Mrs. Margaret Stover, Mrs. Arlene Linder- man, and Mr. Bernard Allison. Mrs. Stover teaches the seventh and eighth grade girls anatomy and how to solve the many problems which confront teenagers. Mrs. Linderman instructs the tenth grade girls in anatomy and physiology, while the seniors study social hygiene. The seventh and eighth grade boys learn com- munity living, while tenth grade boys study body pro- cesses and community living. juniors concentrate on social skills and future living, and seniors learn about marriage and personal adjustments. Heffner, is a center of activity during the academic year at Wyomissing High. Students compile reports, work on investigative themes, and seek new and interesting books to read. Mrs. Heffner, besides keeping the library in order, maintains the right atmosphere for studying, advises li- brary club assistants, and also acquaints the seventh graders with the Dewey Decimal System and other im- portant facets of the library. There are numerous magazines, pamphlets, and newspapers available. A constant influx of new books prevents the inventory from becoming static. 29 Mrs. Heffner and student librarian at work. Music The Music Department, under the direction of Mr. Robert Emery, provides an excellent opportunity for stu- dents to display their musical talents. In the seventh grade, students learn school and camp songs. ln ad- dition to singing, the eighth grade studies music from movies and television, as well as famous conductors. Ninth graders, besides singing, study various types of program music. During the school year, the music department pre- sents the Christmas Candlelight Service and the Night of Music. At the Christmas pageant, junior and senior high groups form the traditional candlelight processional and recessional. In spring, the chorus adds gaiety to the Night of Music. Do, re, mi, fa . . . Ari Since Mrs. Kains, the art instructor, believes that, whether they are great artists or not, it is possible for all students to find true enjoyment in art, the program in the seventh, eighth, and ninth grades is designed to cover a variety of media and art experiences. By the time art becomes an elective in senior high, students are familiar with all the available materials in this field. Large numbers of senior high students choose to do clay work as well as copper enameling. Working in harnmered metal is also popular with many boys and gir s. Both junior and senior high students interested in scene painting helped to make the Christmas play a suc- cess by painting the scenery. That's a good job, girls. Eighth grade typists. lsusiusss diusafiau Under the guidance of Mr. Goodling, students are taught the proper system of typing and learn to build up their speed in words per minute as their proficiency in- creases. Typing is required of all students at one level or another in Wyomissing High School. In addition to typing, students may elect shorthand and office practice. Shorthand is offered with the in- tent that students will use their skills in taking notes for their high school, as well as future collegiate, courses. In office practice, students gain practical experience in the clerical world by doing chores for the administration and the faculty. 30 Hafeteria For the second year, the cafeteria has been under the supervision of Mr. Melvin Arnold, who is assisted by Mrs. Loretta Ashcroft and Mrs. Angela Bausher. As thousands of other schools do, Wyomissing receives government surplus which supplements the regular lunch platter. This allows students to purchase a well-balanced lunch for only thirty cents. The daily menu consists of the regular platter, or sandwiches, fruits, salads, and a variety of desserts. With a background of popular music and lively con- versation, the lunch period is a pleasant intermission for students and teachers. Wl'aul Young, Paul Stoudt, George Rider. Mrs. Ashcroft, Mr. Arnold, Mrs. Bausher. Gusfvdiaus Wyomissing is fortunate in possessing one of the most beautiful schools and campuses in the area. How- ever, this beauty is not easily maintained and a great deal of credit is due the custodians, who work around the year to keep the premises immaculate. George Goddard, George Rider, and George Angstadt, jr. are responsible for the condition of the school's interior, while Paul Stoudt and Paul Young keep the athletic field, lawns, and shrubbery trim and in condition. The custodians are on duty day and night, sweep- ing up the debris left by the student body and providing Wyomissing with sanitary and healthful conditions for ,Medical Stay? Under the hands of Mrs. Annie Knappenberger, Dr. Leonard Woodring, and Dr. Arthur Jones, students of Wyomissing High School receive good medical care. Dr. Jones is the school dentist, who visits regularly for the inspection of students' teeth. From Dr. Woodring, boys in grades from seven to twelve are given examina- tions for sports, in addition to biennial physicals for all. He is also present to give Mantoux tests for tuberculosis, which are administered to grades ten and twelve as well as to boys in sports. In the infirmary the school nurse is always ready to give aid to any ill student. Last of all, pupils are given sight and hearing tests each year. 31 study and recreation.

He was also worshipped as the builder of courage and later as the inspirer of mankind to noble purposes. Thus, his temples of riotous pleasure eventually became places of serene worship. Similarly, the extra-cur- ricular activities of Wyomissing High are both a reason to have fun and a reason to put forth effort for one's own betterment and that of his community. These ac- tivities do much to develop our personalities, just as Dionysus did much for the characters of the ancient Greeks. X x 5 X ff A K- -- x I jarefffv N W FIRST ROW-V. Pettis, M. Rohrer, S.

T ina Schmidt The Student Co-operative Council, so named because its chief purpose is to act as a transition among the administration, faculty, and student body, provides democratic government for Wyomissing High School. Meeting each Wednesday afternoon, Co-operative, composed of two repre- sentatives from each homeroom, discussed problems which arose in the school, presented new ideas for ways in which to better the school, and surveyed needs of the school which Co-op could fulfill. This season's activities began by replacing the old amplifying system in the cafeteria with a new one. The assembly committee planned weekly assemblies including presentations by the School Assembly Service. The activities committee compiled a calendar correlating all school events for the entire year. This year, for the first time, a printed agenda for discussion was distributed a day preceding the meeting to alert the students as to what would be covered. A long-range honor system was also inaugurated with the ultimate goal of a complete system for Wyomissing forseen in the future. Honor study halls were established as a starting point with the idea of branching off into other parts of the school. This year the representatives from Co-op attended the State Convention of Student Councils at Governor Mifflin and the County Convention at Boyer- town. Wyomissing actively participated in both conferences by leading discussion groups. Bill Laubach, president, also went to the National Convention in Pitts- burgh. This was the first time that students from Wyomissing ever attended either the National or State Convention. As in the past, Co-operative scheduled school dances, provided Christmas decorations, and printed a weekly bulletin of announcements. Under the guidance of Miss Brunner, advisor, and its executive committee, Coop enjoyed a successful season. 34 SALESMEN SEATED-I. Hamilton, E. Rickenbach, W. Rosenberger, N. Gartner, B. Hancox, G.

Presented periodically, the pro- grams were scheduled by a committee working under the auspices of the Co- operative. Faculty members enthusiastically di- rected programs related to their in- dividual fields with their efforts resulting in a Geography Panel Discussion, the Sembower Oratorical Contest, and the Foreign Language Assembly. Contributing also, school organiza- tions sponsored the following programs: Y-Teens, the Easter Programg and the Future Teachers' Association, Miss Lucy Valero, who spoke on Teaching As a Career .

This year Alison Mary MacEwen, United Kingdom delegate, stayed for three weeks with Suzanne Reinsel and her family. While in our community, Alison visited many organizations such as the local newspaper office and naturalization court. At the same time she was the guest at many of our school ac- tivities. All this was in preparation for seminars which were held twice a week in surrounding schools. The main topic of these seminars, Social Organizations and Cultural Patterns , provided the opportunity for the exchange of ideas. Other foreign students who participated were the delegates from Finland, Greece, Iran, and lndia. No student at Wyomissing will ever forget Alison's sparkling personality, keen mind, and love of music. She indelibly imprinted in our minds and hearts those customs and ideas of her native land. Our reserved British girl has left our halls but has left behind fond memories of her brief visit. JOSE CONRADO BENITEZ jose Conrado Benitez, who answered only to the name of joly, was the delegate represent- ing the Philippines. During his visit in Wyo- missing, he stayed with Bill Laubach. loly proved to be well versed on any issue, always adding dif- ferent and interesting comments to the discus, sion. Ioly's disposition fitted his nickname per- fectly. His ready smile and cheerful hello were characteristic. Winning the hearts of all the students at Wyomissing, Joly was never alone. He was always occupied in going to club meetings, dinners, parties, and borough activities. joly also visited several municipal organizations. In school, he visited different classes in which he was interested. With these observations, he hoped to visualize how the students progressed throughout their six years in school. After three weeks had swiftly passed, every- one at school wished that joly and Alison could stay longer. But the plans of the Forum made it impossible and they had to leave for Washington, D. C., where they would spend the next part of their trip. Hi - ll- Zfceu Service ,Award One of the highest honors a student can receive is the Hi-Y-Teen Service Award, presented each year to an outstanding boy and girl in recognition of con- structive leadership and devoted service to his school, his club, and his com- munity. To receive this award, a student must be in the upper half of his class and possess highest standards of character, service, leadership, citizenship, and school spirit. Using these qualifications as a basis, the sophomore and junior members of Hi-Y and Y-Teens elect the recipients of this honor. Marcia Coblentz and Ross Wademan received the Hi-Y-Teen Service Award this year. 38 SEATED-M. Westkott, N. Scott, I. Kitzmiller, J. Albee, S. Reinsel, M. DeLong, B. Haw- man, M.

Membership in the National Honor So- ciety is regarded as one of the highest honors bestowed on a worthy student. Wyomissing High School, a charter member of this so- ciety, is among 6,000 chapters spread throughout the nation. The process of choosing members begins every year at the close of the first semester. Juniors and seniors who rank in the first quartile of their respective classes are rated by members of the faculty in leadership and character. The latter are divided into cate- gories of superior, average, and below aver- age. Finally, each candidate's record of service to the school is evaluated through use of the newly inaugurated point system. Membership in the society is limited to 15 per cent of the senior class and 10 per cent of the junior class. Seniors chosen this year were: Marcia Coblentz, Betsy Hawman, and Terry De- Bold. Those from the junior class were: Nancy Scott, lane Albee, Mary Bell DeLong, Judy Kitzmiller, and Mary Westkott. Sec- ond year members of the National Honor Society were: John Coburn, Henry Koch, William Laubach, John Meharg, Suzanne Reinsel, Geoffrey Stoudt, and Ross Wade- man. The sole function of this organization is the planning of the final award assembly in june, at which the new members are in- ducted into the Wyomissing Chapter. SEATED-P. Petris, M. DeLong, B.

Debate Cram The debate team, composed of juniors and seniors, was organized under the supervision of Mr. Gebensleben. This year, the main purpose of the team was to prepare for tri-school debates on the topic How Can Labor-Management Re- lations Be Best Improved? The debates were in the form of panel discussions rather than pro-con arguments. This type of discussion proved thought-provoking and afforded a larger scope to be explored. The first debate, held at Wyomissing at the end of February, awakened the students to one of the nation's most prevalent problems as well as giving the debaters a chance to present their view- points on the subject. Peter Schmehl was moderator, while Carroll Conner and Mary Bell DeLong participated as panelists. Two weeks later, the second discussion took place at Wilson. Speaking from Wyomissing were Barbara Acheson and Geoffrey Stoudt. The debates were con- cluded at Governor Mifflin where loci Coburn and ,lack Meharg represented Wyomissing. The speakers were supported by Penny Pettis, Dotsie Parker, Erica Elsberg, Karen Heisler, Tina Schmidt, Bob Keeler, and Henry Koch, who were questioners at the meetings. The members of the team benefitted by obtaining skill at public speaking as well as an awareness of current af- fairs. The next speaker will be C. Schmidt, S. LeVan, I. Fister, M. DeLong, G.

Open to all senior high'students, the Sem- bower Oratorical Contest is designed chiefly to develop in the participants' ability in literary style and poise in oratorical delivery. This year seven juniors were chosen to pre- sent their orations at the assembly in February. Moderated by Geoffrey Stoudt, the assembly opened with Tina Schmidt's explaining how Time and Tide Wait for No Man . This was followed by Salli LeVan's urging Accent the Positive . Jan Fister spoke on Let There Be Light , and Mary Bell DeLong observed How Great a Lesson from One Small Seed . Next lane Albee suggested Be Somebody . Linda Zalewski explored the vast universe in her topic, Perspective . Finally, Bob Keeler, the only male participant, concluded the series of presentations with the Trends of the Fifties . When the contestants' speeches were com- pleted, the difficult task of reaching a decision was left to the judges, Mr. Rank, Mr. Goodling, and Mr. Hoffman. Their decision was based on subject matter presented, literary style, and ora- torical delivery. Finally, a decision was reached. Salli LeVan captured the laurels of first place, Tina Schmidt received second honors, and Mary Bell DeLong won third prize. FIRST ROW-T. DeBold, J. Klein, D. Fahrenholt, S. Hartranft, R.

Hi-If The HifY is an organization dedicated to high moral principles and designed to give its members a respect for those precepts. The best digest of the I-Ii-Y's pur- pose is in the initiation ceremony. This annual meeting introduces the new mem- bers to the Hi-Y and to the basic ideas on which it was founded. It is because of these beliefs that the I-Ii-Y participates in several service projects every year. Gne of the more important service activities is the annual gift of a one hundred dollar scholarship to the senior boy in the club who scores highest in a given examination. Another project is the collection of the decorations, which occurs every year previous to the Burning of the Greens. The services, as well as the activities, of the I-IifY require money, obtained this year through two projects. The first of these was the july 4 refreshment stand, the largest boost to the treasury. This was also the first test of the organiza- tion under its new officers and without its former senior members. The paper drive was the second source of income. Another function of the club is its many informative activities. Most of these are conducted at the regular meetings and included such items as speeches and panel discussions. Participating members of the community were Mr. Daniel Zerby, Rev. Wilson E. Touhsaent, and Rev. Cameron Billmeyer. A popular recreational affair was the camping trip, a recently revived custom, providing an enjoyable experience. An important group of activities consisted of those which were jointly spon- sored with the Y-Teen Club. The first was the Inter-Club Dance, one of the biggest formal dances of the year. Another social event, one which doubled as a service project, was the Christmas Dance, the admission for which was a can of food for charity. The Hoagie Night and Square Dance drew a large crowd for an evening of fun as did the yearly Sports Night. A new event, tried this year, was a Movie Night with a film shown in the auditorium. The closing events of the year were the I-li-Y-Teen Doggie Roast held at the Stone House and the an- nual banquet. 42 Panel discussion - Teen Talks .

Lf- Cceus One of the more active groups in the school, the Y-Teens Club functions both as a service and social organization. It seeks to teach its members to create to grow in friendship with all races, religions and nationalities, to maintain and extend throughout the school and community, high standards of Christian char- acter.' Throughout the year, the cabinet, which consisted of Nancy Baker, presi- dentg Marcia Coblentz, first vice-presidentg Mary Westkott, second vice-presidentg Betsy Hawman, treasurerg and Susan Lerch, secretary, planned various programs. To provide a better insight on different professions, the program committee planned a career day in October. A discussion about careers in home economics alnd a tour through the physical therapy ward of the Reading Hospital constituted t is program. In co-ordination with the Hi-Y, the Y-Teens presented the Inter-Club Dance in November entitled Manhattan Mood . Other affairs in which the Hi-Y and Y-Teens Clubs participated jointly were the Christmas Dance, where the price for admission was a can of food, and the Movie Night, at which time a film was shown in the auditorium. Two of the more popular affairs enjoyed by both clubs were the square dance, for a night of activity, and a doggie roast, as a termination event. To entertain their mothers, the Y-Teens presented a Mother-Daughter Social in February. At this time Mrs. Nicolas Kosta spoke on the subject, The Next Step, College . Preparing for college, applying to college, and college life in general were discussed at this informal gathering. One of the more lucrative projects of the year was the club's card party and fashion show presented in May. Several Y-Teens, selected by the cabinet on the basis of poise and ability to wear clothes, modeled clothes from the Heather Dress Shop. Mothers and friends, as well as the members, attended this annual occasion. With the aid of Mrs. Margaret Stover, the club's advisor, the Y-Teen or- ganization climaxed a successful schedule of programs and services with the clos- ing banquet. Planned by the juniors, this traditional event honored the depart- ing senior members and marked the end of another school year. 44 CABINET N. Baker, M. Coblentz, M. Westkon, B. Hawman, S. Lerch, N.

Kolaphon Slay Following the election of officers late in the junior year, the Colophon staff began work dur- ing the summer on the yearbook layouts and dummy. With the opening of school came the frantic rush of canvassing, bookkeeping, picture taking, editing copy, meeting deadlines, and Udoctoring the dummyv. Five o'clock sessions became routine for the hard-working editors. The full force of the work fell on the of- ficers: Jack Meharg, editor, Carroll Conner, as- sistant editorg Henry Koch, business manager, and Geoff Stoudt, treasurer, but these four were ably supported by the sub-editors: Betsy Haw- man, academics, Martha Gartner and Ross Wade- man, seniors, Barbara Acheson, underclassmeng ,lean Beaver and john Coburn, sports, Terry Def Bold, photography, Marcia Coblentz and Bill Laubach, activities, janet Scholes, arty and Susan Bennethum, typing. The work was not, however, done entirely by the staff, for each senior canvassed his terri- tory and contributed copy material. When the final piece of copy and the last picture were handed into the printer, the 1960 Colophon staff finally relaxed, feeling a well- earned sense of accomplishment.

Steve Hartranft The 1959-1960 Chieftain, under the direction of Mrs. Houck, reported the events of the school in a series of eight monthly editions. The staff began the year by soliciting sub- scriptions from the students and by operating a concession stand at one of the football games to supplement the treasury. Because these projects proved to be so lucrative, a better paper, through improved materials, was established. The page editors assigned and then corrected articles for their respective pages. Then, under the supervision of Suzanne Reinsel, editor-in- chief, and Mary Westkott, assistant editor, these articles were arranged and compiled into one edition of the Chieftain. Each issue contained, among news items, notices of future school events. This year, for the first time, pictures became a regular part of the paper.

The main objective of this organization was to give its members an idea of the vast opportunities in this profession and to acquaint them with the schools offering a certified nursing cur- riculum. The club's officers and Mrs. Knappen- berger, the club's advisor, planned the pro- gram for the year, featuring speakers from specialized nursing fields. These speakers inf cluded: an x-ray technician, a laboratory technician, and the county psychologist. The seniors also assisted Mrs. Knappenberger in the grade school, giving them a broader in- sight into school nursing. The club's service project for the year was the decoration of the children's ward in the Community General Hospital at Christmas time. How- ever, the highlight of the year's activities was a trip to the Wernersville State Hospital. The officers for this year's club were: Carroll Conner, president, Sandy Lance, vice-president, and Susie Glosser, secretary- treasurer. FIRST ROW-1. Homer, E. Bell, M. Gartner, V. Bickelhaupt, C.

Open to juniors and seniors, the club met every second Wednesday of the month to discuss the many facets of teaching. The purpose of this was to give the prospective teachers a better understanding of their future career. One of the functions of the F. T. A. was supplying from its membership substitute teachers to the grade school. Also, the club took charge of the F. T. A. day in the high school, in which the members taught or assisted in junior and senior high classes. During National Educational Week, the F. T. A. held an assembly followed by a tea, attended by other local F. T. A. groups from West Reading, Governor Mifflin, Reading, Wilson, and Conrad Weiser. The speaker at the assembly was Miss Lucy Valero, Penn- sylvania's consultant for all F. T. A. organi- zations, who discussed teaching as a career. This year the executive committee, head- ed by Kathy Coyle, president, was composed of Tina Schmidt, vice-presidentg Dorrance Brossman, secretary, and Nancy Scott, treas- urer.

Composed of the members of the second year Spanish classes, the Club Espanol, under the direction of Mrs. Knipe, met once a month to in- crease their knowledge of the customs and in- habitants of Spanish-speaking countries, par- ticularly those of Mexico. The meetings were conducted entirely in Spanish in order to increase comprehension of the language. The initial meeting was held in October to select the officers. Elected were Beth Hamilton, president, Cary Bickel, vice-president, Susie Ben- nethum, secretary, and Tom Heck, treasurer. The Spanish Club combined with the French Club in October to sponsor a school dance. The first social meeting was held in November, while a Christmas party with the exchange of gifts was held in December. Other occasions during the year included a hayride and a treasure hunt, climaxed by a festive banquet. Spanish gfllb La presidenta opening the meeting. OFFICERS-T. Heck, C. Bickel, S Bennethum, E.

Its purpose was further- ing French study through conversation and cul- ture. The club gathered in members' homes each month for informal meetings which were con- ducted entirely in French. Together with the Spanish Club, the members of the French Club sponsored a dance in October. The group had a hand in preparing French cuisine when they enjoyed a progressive dinner in November. Dur- ing the Noel season, presents were exchanged and slides of France were shown. The club's activities included a scavenger hunt and an evening of French games designed to better ac- quaint the students with the customs of their European neighbor.

This group of devoted musicians gave their talents freely, whenever and wherever necessary. Their duties ranged from boosting spirit at home football games, to supplying marching music be- fore and after assembly programs. With practice every Wednesday and Fri- day at 7:30 A. M., the band was able to master any music given them. Their repertoire ran the gamut from snappy marches such as Trombone Triumph to a waltz or modem song as Mr, Blue . All selections were played with equal precision. In addition to these morning rehearsals, the band members relinquished some of their study halls for sectional practices. With these ad- ditional rehearsals and cooperative spirit from the students, Mr. Emery was able to produce a band small in size but large in quality, whose abilities were unlimited. Besides giving an excellent concert as a whole, several individual combos, consisting of band participants, played at various school functions, including a tea and a Christmas festi- val. Supplying music for any occasion through- out the year, the band proved to be a valuable asset to Woymissing High School. FIRST ROW-M. Westkott, J. Kitzmiller, D. Noll, A. Brown, D.

Orchestra For a minute group of students, the school week began every Monday at 7:30 A. M. when they assembled in the cafeteria for orchestra practice. Under the baton of Mr. Robert Emery, the Wyomissing High School Orchestra provided training in ensemble playing for interested stu- dents in seventh through twelfth grades. In its weekly practices, the orchestra executed many classical selections as well as popular contem- porary works. Although the organization was small, the enthusiasm of this group of musicians compensated for the insufficient membership. Many band members served as a nucleus for the orchestra with the addition of the violins and piano. Each year members of the orchestra ac- cording to their ability are selected to represent Wyomissing at County, District, and State Or- chestra. This year Wyomissing High School was host to the Eastern District Orchestra Festival which was held in late April. More than one hundred students from surrounding counties asf sembled at the school for a three day program in which Margaret Ross of Wyomissing High served as concertmistress. Participation in these groups, as well as appearances in school assem- blies and the Night of Music , highlighted the ensemble's activities for the school year.

This year the Glee Club was rather unique since it was the first time that the male con- tingent was unable to participate in the fall because of scheduling difficulties. Therefore, any senior high girl interested in singing was eligible to be a member of this organization. h i The girls performed at two of the year's Mum fo' am' occamn' community events, the Christmas program e and the Open House at the high school. The County and District Choruses pro- vided extra enjoyment and training for those members with exceptional talent who be- longed to choruses throughout the county and the eastern section of the state. Selected to represent Wyomissing in the Berks County Senior Chorus were: Jane Homer, first soprano, Connie Bickelhaupt, first sopranog Kristin Keller, first soprano, Carol Dougher- ty, second sopranog Barbara Ruth, second sopranog Margaret Ross, first altog and Carol Boyer, first alto. Representing Wyomissing at the annual Eastern District County Fes- tival were: jane Homer, Barbara Ruth, Carol Dougherty, and Margaret Ross. 54 FIRST ROW-I. Meharg, R. Wademan, T. Heck, M.

Meeting The purpose of j.T.M. was to give every member a better understanding of common questions through debate. It also enabled him to develop and improve his ability to speak before an audience. This year the club based most of its monthly meetings on school problems rather than local, national, or international issues. The topic committee invited adults ac- quainted with the subject to the meetings to give an authoritative and often different H viewpoint. Mr. Coblentz and Mrs. Glosser, Wm 'he mwing Come to Order! Please? representing the P.T.A., were present for the discussion of Should There be Student Rep- resentation in the P.T.A.? Another guest was Dr. Hellerick of Albright College who spoke to the members on Is College a Right or a Privilege? The club's president, Henry Koch, con- ducted the meetings with the assistance of vicefpresident Betsy Hawman, secretary Gin- . ny Gross, treasurer Susie Lerch, and the faculty advisor, Mrs. Knipe. At each meeting a panel of six members discussed an assigned topic, expressing their various opinions. The other students then had an opportunity to discuss the topic more extensively. A refreshment period followed each meeting. 55 FIRST ROW-V. Pettis, M. Rohrer, V. Glosser, C. Stutzman, B. Rentschler, C. Searfoss, I. Ganser, N. Stewart, S. Mohn, C. Boyer, E. Kreisinger, L.

The members of the cabinet were Nancy Wademan, president, Marshia Walbom, vice- presidentg Connie Quereau, treasurer, and Lynn Schuler, secretary. The first program for the academic year 1959-60 was entitled Tips for Teens . At this time Mrs. Khaler from West Reading gave a speech on guides toward forming good grooming habits. At the next meeting the girls held a scavenger hunt searching the borough for every- thing from a rusty bobby pin to a pair of size thirteen and a half sneakers. December was the month for the service pro- ject. To help the less fortunate have a more en- joyable Christmas, the girls collected toys for the Children's Home of Reading. Apropos to Saint Valentine's Day and the leap year of 1960, Blue Triangle sponsored a Women-Pay-All Dance at which time the girls invited boys and provided the expenses for the evening. To introduce the latest spring fashions, Blue Triangle held a fashion show in March with the girls themselves modeling. Finally, in May, the annual banquet with the election of officers was held at Whitner's Restaurant. Blue Triangle dance - May I have a coke, please? 56 FIRST ROW-B. Anderson, B. Curry, S. Balooe, C.

Dramatics 61116 As the most recent member to the wide variety of organizations offered at Wyomissing High School, the Dramatics Club successfully completed their first academic year of dramatic presentations. With the aid of Mrs. Getz, the members provided entertainment not only for the student body, but also for members of the community, at the same time enriching their experience in the theatrical arts. To acquire a better insight into the entire procedure in giving stage presen- tations, they engaged in the menial but essential tasks of costuming, applying make-up, and prompting. The first in a series of three productions en- titled, The Ins and Outs was given for the benefit of the local Parent Teacher Association and senior psychology classes. No Room in the Inn was a Yuletide play given in co-ordination with the annual Christmas program. The final production was presented mainly by junior high students. Through its presentations and other con- tributions the Dramatics Club was a welcome addition to Wyomissing's extrafcurricular pro- gram. Ins and Outs , their first presentation FIRST ROW-C.

It is composed of members from the ninth through twelfth grades, who relinquish a minimum of two study periods per week to assist Mrs. Heff- ner, the librarian. The various duties the girls performed ran the gamut from creating bulletin board displays to taking charge of all necessary desk work. During the winter they in- formed the students of Book Week through the use of homeroom displays and an as- sembly, and they aided the P.T.A. in its annual Book Fair. They also assisted stu- dents with reference work and helped cataf log books. Each year the Library Club participates in the Teen-Age Library Association Con- vention. This year it was held in the Forum Building at Harrisburg, after which a guided tour of the State Library was conducted. Barbara Ruth served as the reporter for the TLA newspaper, which was periodically circulated to the members of this organization. The club's monthly meetings were held the first Tuesday of the month The presiding of ficers for this year were: Suzanne Reinsel, president, Judy Schatz, vice president, and Susan Glos ser, secretary-treasurer.

The cardinal principles of the club as depicted in the constitution are: to strengthen the body, develop the mind, wor- ship God, and work together for a finer com- munity and a better world. This organiza- tion serves as an orientation program for the Hi-Y Club and the Y.M.C.A. of America. The club's program for the year began with the initiation of new members and the installation of officers. Leading the meet- ings was john Hollenbach, president, as- i sisted by john Heck, vice-president, Bailey I Jamison, secretary, and john Rothenberger, treasurer. The various activities included a trip to a hockey game at Hershey, a sports night in the high school gymnasium, a camping trip at Pine Grove in the Blue Mountains, and a trip to the Naval Base in Philadelphia. In order to function more effectively the junior Hi-Y undertook two money-making projects, the first being a dance in the high school cafeteria and the second, a more extensive project, a drive to collect scrap metal throughout the community. The service project was the purchasing of equip- ment for the physics department. To conclude the 1959-60 season the club held a picnic at the Stone House with the election of officers and a closing Father-Son banquet. 59 KNEELING-H. Koch, R. Bauer. FIRST ROW-B. Heckman, T.

Although most students may only remem- ber the monitors by means of such familiar com- mands as Head for the end of the line , or, You're last todayl , their real job went un- noticed. Ably headed by Henry Koch in fifth period and Ron Bauer in sixth period, their task was to co-ordinate the herd of hungry students headed for the cafeteria, thus eliminating the bedlam which might otherwise have existed. Once again the boys in the ninth and tenth grades assumed the job of campus and cafeteria clean-up monitors. It was their duty to remind students to keep their campus and cafeteria clean, thus helping to maintain the beauty of Wyo- missing High School. This also served as a train- ing program for these boys, who eventually be- come hall monitors. Although the monitors seemed to exercise their duties with relative ease and little thought, they nevertheless performed a necessary service to their school. 60 1 v u KNEELING-S. Hartranft, C.

Fire! We Flatvvn Throughout the school year, classes were oc- casionally interrupted with the clarion call of the fire alarm. With this signal, one of the school's oldest service ogranizations, the Fire Platoon, swung into action, quickly directing the students to safety. This year, membership in the platoon con- sisted of only senior boys, with the exception of four juniors who will be the nucleus of next year's force. C. T. Miller was elected captain and collaborated with the advisor, Mr. Jesse Sheetz, in the placement of the members to the various posts. Another platoon duty was the periodical recharging of the school's fire extinguishers, ac- quainting the members with the equipment and principles involved in fire fighting apparatus. The newest responsibility of the Fire Pla- toon was conducting the students incase of an air raid drill. In the platoon, members have accepted this new job with great ease and ef- ficiency. The Fire Platoon never experienced a real emergency, but in the event that it had, the boys were prepared to carry out their individual jobs as a closely knit team. P. A. ANNOUNCERS-SEATED- P.

From the public address announcers, cafeteria crew, and the flag attendant, who performed their tasks during the school day, to the ticket sellers and gym crew who ren- dered their needed services after school hours, the service force was a great asset to the well-being of Wyomissing High School. Although many of their services were often over-looked by the student body, they were appreciated. Serving the hungry students and faculty members, the cafeteria crew, under the di- rection of Mr. Arnold, was willing to shorten their lunch periods to provide food for others. The public address announces daily broadcast the news bulletins during the morning and afternoon homeroom sessions. The ticket sellers, composed of senior high girls, swung into action with the first kickoff from the Wyomissing athletic field and continued their services throughout the basketball season. The junior high girls also helped by selling programs during football games. Keeping the girls well supplied with tickets and programs, Mr. Milford cofordi- nated the sales so that no spectator was in- convenienced. With the opening of the basketball sea- son, the gym crew began its customary function of policing the gym and the specta- tors. Finally, on school days, both in the morning and in the afternoon, the flag at- tendant faithfully executed his service. E. Reuther, N. Hollinger, A. Friedmann, T. DeBold, Mr. Manderbach, W.

Stage Krew Boys who are interested in the mechanics of stage management compose the personnel of the Stage Crew under the direction of Mr. Manderbach. They make possible every theatrical production in the high school auditorium. Without the willing work and cooperation of these boys, Commencement, the Christmas program, and the Wednesday assemblies would not exist. Their willing- ness to serve and their youthful energy add the professional touch to every program. The projectionist works with the stage crew to make movies possible. Giving freely of time and talent, each member performs his duties before, during, and after a production without asking recompense. Being on stage for rehearsals, the crew is ready to learn and do whatever is required. When the final performance rolls along, the crew executes its maneuvers as smoothly as any professional organization. After the show, when everyone else has left, this dependable group assumes the lowly job of clearing the stage, keeping it in readiness. Therefore, their work does not begin and end with the production. Because some degree of technical know- ledge is necessary in all facets of stage work, each field is somewhat specialized. Such areas as lighting, sound, and stage layout are included. Fast thinking is essential, while the ability to transform these thoughts into actions is indispensable. Any member of the crew must be not only an intelligent and quick witted person, but also a jackfof-all- trades. Monday is cleaning day. Well, now what do we do? 5. X359 2. e SEATED-l.. Putnam, M.

Sports The Dioscouri were two Greek demigods, Castor and Pollux, who were known throughout the world as symbols of fraternal devotion. These brothers were also famous athletes, Castor as a tamer of horses and Pollux as a boxer. It was because of their ability that they became the patrons of all public sports. Thus, the Dioscouri are excellent examples of sports at Wyo- missing High, where the team spirit is closely akin to their brotherly attachment. The devotion of the Dioscouri was demonstrated at their death when the mortal Castor died and immortal Pollux asked to join him. i 1 m K 5 Qi, X X X A W K g UQK ,y Y X X T53 f '44-X 2 I TVX 'j,.,N 4.-1 . .1 S ll Xgbf N f , 'lx J 1 X X by 'L ? yi , wg?

Zrotball A potentially strong team reported to practice at W. H. S. during the Wan- ing days of August, to begin a season which was to be unequaled in the annals of Wyomissing High School. Starting with an initial squad of thirty-four boys, head coach Charles Gebensleben, better known to the players as Mr. G , and assistant coach Clarence Clutch Weik, began to sift through the supply of talent, trying to find what they hoped to be the winning combination for the 1959 season. Prac- tice, which was toughest when the hot, humid sun was burning down, soon be- came a looked-forward-to happening along with an occasional scrimmage with nearby schools. Rebounding from these mediocre scrimmages with Cocalico Union, Muhlenberg, and the Reading High jV's, the Warriors worked even harder to attain the polish and the good conditioning which would be so necessary in their bid for the league title. Never considered to be a slow starter, Wyomissing showed its power, versa- tility, and finesse early as it blanked a strong Upper Dublin team 39-O. Led by their tri-captains, Cary Bickel, John Coburn, and Steve Hartranft, the Warrior eleven then marched on to seven other Inter-County League victories to obtain sole rights to the league crown with an 8-0 slate. In the Warriors' climb to the top of the league, records were scattered to the winds. Behind the determined running of John Coburn, Cary Bickel, and jim Klein, Wyomissing erased its previous scoring record of 283 points and re- placed it with 328 markers, which proved to be a new standard for Berks County as well. To be sure, a team can be helpless without the services of a good line, but Wyomissing's Solid Seven lived up to their name and reputation as they yielded a scant average of only forty-five yards per game and allowed only three touchdowns. As is so often the case, the unsung heroes never receive much credit, but this year accolades must go to the coaching staff, whose fine work and patient training enabled the team of 1959 to be accredited the best in the history of Wyo- missing High School. 68 in T Friedmann C.

On the en- suing kickoff, Eagle back Scott Doll took the ball and galloped eighty-five yards for Exeter's lone tally. The Warriors bounced back with two quick TD's before halftime on a one yard slant by junior fullback Ron Adams and a fifteen yard run by Bickel. The second half was played almost entirely by the Warrior reserves with scoring on a sixty-three yard punt return by Coburn and an eighteen yard jaunt by Bailey Jamison. Warriors vs. Falcons. Wyomissing 39 Upper Dublin O Iourneying to Upper Dublin for their inaugural con- test, Wyomissing's Warriors trouncecl the Dublins 39-O for their first win of the campaign. With at least one score in each quarter and three in the final stanza, the Warriors had little trouble in scoring their first triumph at Dublin's expense. The line play was outstanding, holding the opposition to minus yardage rushing. p The Warriors scored the first time they got their hands on the ball with a sixty yard punt return by John Coburn. From then on it was smooth sailing with Co- burn scoring once more on a plunge, jim Klein, junior quarterback, romping for three TDS, and freshman John Rothenberger passing to Vance Forepaugh for the final tally. With several minutes remaining in the game, the Warrior bench saw action. Warriors vs. Eagles. Wyomissing 55 Pottsgrove 19 Traveling for the second time this year, Wyomissing's undefeated football team ventured to Pottsgrove to take its third win, 55-19. The previously unbeaton Falcons put up a terrific battle until they were finally subdued by the Warriors' superior eleven. Rebounding from a 6-O deficit early in the game, the Warriors struck back with John Coburn, senior half- back, tallying four times in the first half. However, jim Klein, junior quarterback, stole the show with his running and passing, as he passed for three TD's and ran for two more behind the tremendous blocking of the Warrior forward wall. In the fourth quarter, Mike Peters scored from the two. Bailey Jamison scored the final touchdown of the game just before the gun. Pottsgrove's TD's were all scored on runs by Bob Wirag. 70 Wyomissing 40 Bridgeport 13 Traveling once again, this time to Roosevelt Field in Norristown for a night game, the Warriors clashed with Inter-County League foe Bridgeport High, and emerged with a 40-13 victory to put them in first place with half the season completed. Able to score almost at will throughout the first half, the Warriors tallied early on a ,Klein to Coburn aerial. Wyomissing's power then became evident as Klein, Bickel, and Coburn, before halftime, romped for four more TD's behind the Warriors' sturdy line. These front line stalwarts played much of their defensive game in Bridgeport's backfield. The second half saw the Warrior reserves get their chance to pad the scoring column with a one yard plunge by Dennis Fink, sophomore fullback. For the fourth game in a row, all Warriors saw action. Bridgeport tallied their two TD's on twenty-four and fifty-three yard pass plays. Warriors vs. Dragons. Wyomissing 46 Jenkintown 6 The Wyomissing Warriors won for the fifth time this season, defeating a scrappy Jenkintown ballclub 4616. Keeping their string of lopsided scores intact, the War- riors scored twenty points in the first quarter, six in the second, and twenty in the third before the opposition even penetrated Wyomissing territory. This penetration, however, led to the Drakes' only score of the day. Jim Klein was the standout in the Warrior back- field, picking up sixty yards in five carries while com- pleting eight out of nine passes for 174 yards in the air. Because of the onesidedness of the score, all the Warrior reserves saw action. The Warriors rolled up 159 yards rushing and 179 yards in the air to outclass completely the Red and Blue gridders, who only collected a net of forty yards on the ground and forty-two via the airways, thanks to a sturdy Wyomissing defense. Warriors vs. Drakes. , Wyomissing 52 Schwenksville 14 The Warriors from Wyomissing put their two year ten game win streak on the line as they played host to the visiting Schwenksville ballclub. From the opening kickoff to the final gun it was obvious as to which was the better team. Wyomissing's attack jelled early with Ron Adams scoring from thirty' eight yards out on the fifth play of the game. A timely interception by Greek Peters and a twenty yard gallop by Klein accounted for six more points for the high-flying Warriors. Before the half ended, Coburn scored twice on short runs, while an interception by Arno Spina set up another Klein TD jaunt. Bickel, Klein, and Coburn each tallied once in the second half to bring the team total to fifty-two. Schwenksville's tallies came on a twenty-eight pass and an eighty-seven yard run-pass play. 71 Warriors vs. Bluebirds n Warriors vs. Lions. Wyomissing 28 Lower Moreland 6 Wyomissing, seeking its seventh win in as many starts, proved to be too versatile on both offense and def fense as they coasted to a 28-6 victory over visiting Lower Moreland. The Warriors hit high gear in their first three plays when Ron Adams boomed across for the initial score. Before the first quarter closed, the bulge was increased to 2110 on a Klein to Coburn aerial and a one yard buck by Jim Klein. Moreland connected in the second quarter for their lone TD on a pass from Harbison to Keener. The third quarter saw little more than the exchange of punts and good defensive line play. As the fourth quarter began, Lower Moreland took to the air lanes in a futile attempt to close the gap but defensive halfback john Coburn picked off a stray aerial and galloped thirty- five yards for the final score. r y. my J Wyomissing 25 Collegeville 13 . r ' The Warriors, on the brink of the first perefct season in the school's history, played host to the visiting Colonels from Collegeville. The Wyomissing eleven, playing without the services of injured jim Klein, opened the scoring when Dave Pur- selle blasted across on a twenty-five yard jaunt. No more scoring was seen until the second quarter when the War- riors scored on a nine yard pass from Coburn to Hastings and a thirty-three yard scamper by Coburn. The War- rior line play and a timely interception by Cary Bickel held the visitors scoreless until the second half. Coming into the second half with a 19-O bulge, the Warriors upped the ante on a Peters to Purselle pass play and at the end of the third quarter held a 25-O lead. Then Collegeville's passing attack finally jelled, and they tallied twice before the final gun. . A E Warriors vs. Colonels The end of a successful season. 72 Moment of silence.

Varsity Kaskctball This year's varsity basketball team, coached by Mr. Reitz and captained by Cary Bickel, finished the season with a 12-9 overall log, eight wins and eight losses in division play, meriting a fifth place Western Division standing. The team was handicapped by a series of injuries. jim Klein and Steve Hartranft were not able to start the season because of hand in- juriesg john Coburn and Bill Shanfelder were un- able to finish playing because of bone fractures. This season's team was fortified with three letter- men from last year: John Coburn, Cary Bickel, and jim Klein.

Tom Heck and Cary Bickel were responsible for setting up a good de- fenseg Bill Laubach and Roger Rosenberger pulled down most of the reboundsg and jim Klein was the team's top scorer. Backing up the first string were: Steve Hartranft, Fred Borchers, Ron Bauer, Bill Shan- felder, Ron Adams, Bob Keeler, and Mike Peters, who was advanced to the varsity during the season. ' The schedule was opened with a victory over Mount Penn in non-league action, and closed with a victory over Muhlenberg. Under the circum- stances, the team did well, achieving some important victories both within and outside the division. 74 VARSITY SCORING RECGRD Wyomissing 54 Wyomissing 37 Wyomissing 64 Wyomissing 76 Wyomissing 43 Wyomissing 61 Wyomissing 43 Wyomissing 66 Wyomissing 61 Wyomissing 69 Wyomissing 87 Wyomissing 60 Wyomissing 57 Wyomissing 46 Wyomissing 45 Wyomissing 39 Wyomissing 68 Wyomissing 59 Wyomissing 74 Wyomissing 54 Wyomissing 52 Mount Penn Brandywine Daniel Boone Oley Hamburg Conrad Weiser Governor Mifflin Wilson Exeter Perry Schuylkill Valley West Reading Muhlenberg Hamburg Conrad Weiser Governor Mifflin Wilson Perry Schuylkill Valley West Reading Muhlenberg 33 40 55 58 55 59 55 46 43 27 27 96 68 59 54 66 53 40 5 65 5 5:5 Q9 . v 1-ff ' iii ' , , V , K4 x .1642-gil: ' - 1 .

Completing the big five were Bill Simmons, Roger Smith, Fast break. and John Stevens with Jed Dodd, Dennis Fink, John Rothenberger, and John Rohrer as first string substitutes. Rounding out the team were Dave Rothermel, John Heck, John Hollenbach, Bob Andrews, Bill Breitinger, and Ron Allison. The junior Warriors, off to a bad start in the first league game, lost to the Hamburg junior Varsity by a small margin. However, they surprised their critics by defeating near- ly half-way through the season the league- leading West Reading Jayvees. The rest of the season saw the team winning about half of their games, and in a rematch were de- feated by the determined baby Cowboys. The efficient teamwork and unlimited sports- manship of the team has proven that there is good material for the coming years at Wyomissing High. f FIRST ROW-S. Slutsky, I. Rohrer, W. Acheson, M.

Once again, with Mr. Reitz at the helm, the Warriors hit the practice field early to pre- pare themselves for the rough schedule ahead. Much to the enjoyment of the coach, a large nucleus from last year's team returned with a season of experience under their belts. After a week of hard practice, and stressing the funda- mentals, the team started to take shape. The catching was ably handled by Mike Peters, with John Rohrer ready and willing to give him a rest. Bob Mead held down the initial sack while Bill Acheson and Fred Borchers formed the keystone combination of the War- riors' infield group. At third base, or the hot corner , was jim Klein. In the outfield, Marty Cafurello, Cary Bickel, and Bill Shanfelder were in left, center, and right, respectively. Bob Hahn and Jim Klein gave the Warriors an ad- equate pitching corps. An impressive 153 victory over Schuylkill Valley on the Warriors' hame field started the season for Coach Reitz's crew.

Krass Eauntry Cross-country, a fall sport which has been gaining in popularity throughout the country, has finally come to Wyomissing High School. It was initiated under the coaching of Mr. Clarence Weik, who gave up his position as assistant foot- ball coach in order to comply with the demand. Even though this was the Warriors' initial season, their schedule held teams well versed in cross-country competition, such as Governor Miff- lin, Exeter, and Oley. Against these odds, and also the fact that there were only about fifteen boys on the squad, Mr. Weik and his charges could not salvage a win for the year. This year, competing with the much herald- ed football team for squad members, cross-country suffered accordingly. However, this sport, though not primarily a spectator attraction, should see an increase in membership as more students be- come acquainted with it. The one bright spot with which to end the season was the fact that there were no seniors on the squad, and everyone who does return will have gained valuable experience for next year by serving on this year's team.

Zennis Late in March, the Wyomissing netmen took to the tennis courts in the hope of continuing their winning record which has stood for the last ten years. A noteworthy fact is that a majority of the wins racked up by the team was against schools a good deal larger than Wyomissing. This, alone, has contributed much toward building county-wide respect for the tennis played at Wyomissing High School. This year's team displayed a well- balanced game when they invaded Garden Spot's home territory early in the season to capture a four to three victory. Bill Breitinger, along with it is the other boys on the squad, showed a good deal of solidarity in compiling their first win of the season. This year, Bill Breitinger and Bob Keeler, first and second men respectively, did a fine job while representing Wyomissing High at the In- door Invitation Tournament at Lancaster's Mc- Caskey High School. This was just one of the many tournaments in which some of our players will participate. The upper echelon was also composed of Steve Hartranft, jack Meharg, Bill Laubach, John Coburn, and Henry Koch, who, unfortunately, was lost to the team for most of the season because of a serious knee injury. Other players who were fighting for a ranking on the squad included Roger Smith, Bill McShane, joe Homsher, and Glenn Haines. While these boys competed for a place on the ladder, they did much toward improving their own games and contributed to team spirit in the process. Under the guidance of Mr. Gebensleben, Here comes an ace! tennis at Wyomissing High School has become an extremely popular and winning sport, attract- ing many candidates each season. 82 Smash!

The boys turned out in even larger numbers than last year and were aided by a change in the spring schedule inaugurated just last year. The change, which enables any participant in any sport to try out for more than one team, has increased both the quality and the quantity of this year's track team. Although the team lost its first few meets, it showed an abundance of material in the field events, which gave the hope of finishing the season successfully. The county pole-vault champion, Cary Bickel, headed the list of veterans and was aided by Steve Hartranft with the javelin, C. T. Miller in the shot, and Rae Wallace in the broad jump. Additions to this potent combination were Pat Hastings, Marty Cafurello, and Ed Bower. Lack of depth and experience were the main drawbacks as far as the track hopes went. With no sprinters returning from last year's squad, Pat Hastings could not carry the entire load in the 100 and the 200. The distance men, Dave Fahr- enholt and David Huyett, failed to place in several meets, but they gained valuable exper- ience for next year. For the first time in many years, a junior high team of some size was as- sembled and proved itself in the first several meets. ' Leadership is necessary in any sport, and track can be no exception. With Mr. Weik to guide them, the track squad could be sure of fine, competent coaching. Mr. Weik must also be given credit for acquiring a large quantity of long-needed new equipment for the team.

Hvaches The athletic teams at Wyomissing this year benefitted from the advice and train- ing of four competent coaches. These men had the responsibility not only of teaching each boy the skills of their particular sport, but also instilling in each the fundamental lessons of good sportsmanship, integrity, and fair play. This year, as coach of Wyomissing High's undefeated football team, Mr. Gebensleben, familiarly known as Mr. G. , received further recognition by being selected as Co- Coach of the Year . Assisting him as line coach was Mr. Weik, who was called upon early in the season to serve as head coach of the newly formed cross-country squad. In basketball, Mr. Reitz and Mr. Sheetz produced two teams which finished with identical records of 8-8 in league play. How- ever, Mr. Reitz and Mr. Sheetz both felt that next year they would be able to improve these standings. In the spring sports of baseball, track, and tennis, Mr. Reitz, Mr. Weik, and Mr. G. had hopes for very successful seasons. They believed that if the candidates for each sport played to the best of their ability, they could not miss having winning cam- paigns. FIRST ROW-B. Heckman, M. Westkott, R. Purselle. SECOND ROW-J.

Son! of about ten to twelve boys, who sacrificed both time and effort so that the football, basketball, and baseball teams would always have clean equipment and a ready supply of bandages. Pete Schmehl, captain of the football managers, organized his small crew of Ross Wademan, Henry Koch, John Heisler, and Barry Heckman into a compact unit who were present from late August to early No- vember, handing out uniforms and catering to every whim of the players. They did, however, fail to complete their final duty of the season when they did not throw Mr. G. into the showers. Aside from this slight oversight, these managers did a fine job and are to be commended. With the coming of basketball, lack Me- harg, Peter Reinhart, Mickey Westkott, Richard Purselle, and john Heisler assumed the task of keeping the basketballs clean, buying the oranges for each game, and tend- ing to the players' blisters. They were also armed with a quick smile and a friendly word to help contribute to team spirit. Baseball had its share of managerial h duties which were completed also. Thus, this group of managers as a whole should be congratulated for their performance behind the scenes in 1959-60. 87 5 Q4 Top-K. Middle-M. eavgr, Gartner. V-I-C-T-O-R-Y was the cry of the cheerleaders throughout Wyomis- sing's undefeated football season and hard-fought basketball season. These cheerleaders, chosen by several faculty members, were judged on the basis of 9 pep, enthusiasm, personality, and general skill in cheering. Under the super- ! vision of Mrs. Linderman, the 1959-60 season's cheerleaders followed through with their responsibility of promoting good sportsmanship, and with their constructing and revising of cheers. Because it was also their duty to help create a high degree Q of school spirit, the cheerleaders held pep rallies along with a color day, at which time each student displayed the blue and white of Wyomissing. The Big Six cheer- leading squad consisted of Martha Gartner and lean Beaver, co-captains, backed by C Kathy Coyle, Marcia Coblentz, Lynn Putnam, and Connie Bickelhaupt. These girls were fortunate in being able to acquire new sweaters for football season as well as new jumpers for the basketball season. The junior varsity cheerleading squad, known as the Little Six was composed of six regular girls and an alternate, contrary to the usual squad of four.

Intramural games are played in such sports as field hockey, basketball, volleyball, and soft- ball. The girls are also taught the fundamental principles of refereeing, timing, and scoring which they employ in senior high. The cabinet, under the guidance of Mrs. Arlene Linderman, consisted of Emmy Lou Gaul, presidentg Margaret Rohrer, vice-presidentg Missy Meharg, secretary-treasurerg and Linda Leidich, clerk of records. One of their duties was to pre- pare the schedules for the various sports. In the junior high, a point system is used by which each girl obtains points for participat- ing in her scheduled games. In the spring of the freshman year, awards are presented to those girls who have' qualified through faithful par- ticipation. CABINET-Mrs. Linderman, B. Me- harg, L. Leidich, E. Gaul, M.

Senior Girls ' ,Atlzlotio Association The senior high Girls' Athletic Association presents to all interested girls an opportunity to participate in a competitive sport. These games, which take place after school hours, help to build skills, teamwork, sportsmanship, and good char- acter among the participants. This year's cabinet, under the supervision of Mrs. Arlene Linder-man, was composed of Vir- ginia Gross, president, Jean Beaver, vice-presidentg Ann Scully, secretary-treasurer, and Susan Schad, clerk of records. The first sport taken up by the girls was hockey. Girls who participated actively in their scheduled games were given the opportunity to represent Wyomissing when it played hostess to the hockey teams of Schuylkill Valley, Fleet- wood, and Reading High Schools. Other sports throughout the year included basketball, volleyball, tennis, and baseball. Each girl chose only the sports in which she was in- terested. The year was concluded by the traditional G.A.A. picnic. . CABINET-S. Schad, A. Scully Mrs. Linderman, 1. Beaver, V. Gross, Fighting for the ball. Hays Intramurals Boys' intramurals have gained in popularity as a more varied program of activities has been introduced, despite the fact that varsity sports hold the lime- light. Under the present program the boys may participate in such sports as soccer, wrestling, basketball, and volleyball. The highlights of the intramural program are the spring-held junior and senior high track meets. In these track and field events, teams composed of participants from each class compete, with the final tabulation determining which class places first, second, and third. Girls' athletics, now in its fourth year at Wyomissing High School, has been expanding its program annually to satisfy the needs of an enlarging student body. This year, in addition to holding a hockey play-day with Fleetwood, Schuylkill Valley, and Reading High Schools, Wyomissing organized a mother- daughter hockey game. ,The mothers, under the leadership of Mrs. Quereau and Mrs. Bankes, lost a hotly contested game to their daughters who had chal- lenged them to the duel.

She was usually de- picted as a charming young girl who not only bore nectar to the gods but also performed other duties such as housework, harnessing horses, and serving wine at the table. These tasks are comparable to those to which underclassmen often submit. Similar also is their less important but not unimportant position in the life of the school. Hebe, as the allegory of the vices and virtues of youth, is a good choice to symbol- ize underclassmen.

What does it do? junior flzylz Zlzroniclc Starting their high school career one day early, the Greenies took a grand tour of the school, which familiarized them with their new surroundings and the routine of high school life. The majority of them looked forward to six worth- while years at Wyomissing. The eighth graders, who had by this time become old hands at high school life, willingly guided the new set until they, too, became adjusted. Such activities as junior G.A.A., Blue Triangle, junior Hi-Y, and J. V. sports gained immediate responses from the junior high participants. The class of '63 ranked supreme as the figure head of the junior high. Burdened by more homework and activities, the students taught themselves to balance their time in preparation for the future years when they would join the coveted ranks of the senior high. Their leadership in various activities served as a pattern for their juniors to uphold in the future. Thus, at the close of the year, the junior high students were eager to move up one more step.

Saphafuare 611155 Under the dynamic leadership of Mike Peters, president, the sophomore class started the climb to the top of the ladder in senior high. Also serving as class officers were: Joe Homsher, vice-presidentg Lynne Putnam, secretaryg and John Rohrer, treasurer. Hot August days found many of the sophomore boys exercising on the athletic field in preparation for the coming football season. The class was rep- resented in the starting line-up by Mike Peters, who filled the position of center. Bill Leinbach and Mike Peters were co-captains of the junior varsity basketball team, which was mainly composed of the sophomore boys. The remainder of the boys participated in intramurals. The sophomore girls were not to be forgotten in sports either. Lynne Put- nam and Connie Bickelhaupt, both members of the varsity cheerleading squad, cheered the boys through victory and defeat. The sophomore girls also actively took part in the senior G.A.A. program. The boys and girls of the sophomore class became members of two of the most active clubs in the school, Hi-Y and Y-Teens. Representing the class of 1962 in Co-operative were Elizabeth Bowman, Glenn Haines, and Susan Kauffman. The group upheld its social traditions. During the year the members held several class parties and sponsored a school dance during the spring. The class of '62 officially became members of senior high early in the school year when they ordered class rings, which they received later in january. Thus, the sophomores willingly and ably became more active participants in their school. 98 OFFICERS President ..................

The juniors' influence was present in all phases of school life. Mary Bell DeLong was elected vice-president of Cofoperative, while Tina Schmidt served as treasurer. Also representing their class in that organization were Karen Heisler, Jim Klein, and Ron Bauer. In the Hi-Y, Dave Purselle served as vice-president, Roger Rosenberger, chaplaing and Dave Fahrenholt, junior dele- gate. Y-Teens officers in the junior class included Mary Westkott, second vice- president, and Marilyn Rae, worship chairman. Members of the junior class com- prised the entire Sembower Oratorical Contest. The juniors were also active in the debate team,.newspaper staff, fire platoon, monitors, service force, and jun- ior town meeting. Salli LeVan and Penny Pettis represented their class at Colo- phon meetings in order to gain ideas and information for next year's staff. On the football field, basketball court, and baseball diamond the junior boys proved their athletic skill. During the basketball season the junior class maintained the candy con- cession at home games. ln January they sponsored a Saturday night dance for the senior high. Their activities were climaxed by the junior-senior prom, which was planned under the supervision of Linda Thomas and her committee. The junior class officers were: Bob Keeler, presidentg Penny Petris, vice- presidentg Joanie Jamison, secretary, and Ron Bauer, treasurer. The Jolly Juniors have formed many happy memories which will be carried with them when they become Serious Seniors . 100 Klein, you're holding up progress! The girls' favorite pastime.

Like all Greek gods, they had many foibles and imperfections but, nonetheless, they managed to keep the world on an even keel and restrict most of their squabbles to domestic ones. These gods symbolize the senior class quite well, since both it and they are in a position of power, although the degree of power is quite different, and both have some very human characteristics.

This one fits Glass History Upon entering NVyomissing High School, we, the class of 1960, were per- plexed ancl doubtful about this new environment. Familiarizing ourselves with the faculty and different facilities was an exciting but gradual process. Conditioned by one year's experience, we easily adapted ourselves to the eighth grade. Now high school interested us for more than academic reasons and some of us actually began to talk to the opposite sex. As freshmen we felt quite confident as top class on the junior high totem pole. First year Latin, sports, and class parties were some of the new experiences of this year. For the first time we elected class officers and began our senior high life. NVe sponsored our first school dance and actively engaged in the school clubs. Since we were called the jolly juniors , we tried our best to live up to this name. The junior-Senior Prom was our main project of the year, along with a school dance and other activities. XVe were cordially introduced to College Boards and gradually became college-minded. This was IT! None of us could realize that we were actually seniors, Col- lege applications and l.T.'s were our major objectives and after we had completed these successfully, the days passed quickly. All of us enjoyed preparing for our graduation exercises, and upon their completion, we looked hopefully toward the future. Senior All-Stars vs. arsity Seniors. Organization plus.

Now, however, as our high school days come to an end, they look pretty wonderful. Last autumn, as we returned feeling our importance as seniors, it was fun to get back into the swing of things. The fall and early winter passed quickly, and suddenly it was 1960 - our year of graduation. But june was still a long way off, and we only vaguely dreamed of our coming departure. But suddenly, here it is - June of 1960 and in a few days hence we shall have graduated, and Wyomissing High School will never again be just the same. Hereafter, it will be our alma mater. After the summer there will be new sen- iorsg we shall be alumni. For all of us there will be a great sense of loss, for a very important part of our life will have passed. Each of us filled a particular place in his individualistic manner. It is our hope that we have done well, each in his own Way, and that our combined efforts have added to the story of Wyomissing High School.

Zipf S Cfalaphou Cributc A Colophon, from which our yearbook's name was drawn, Was the ancient Greek printer's inscription, placed at the end of a book. This symbol was proudly set down as a representation of his sincere and fervent hope that the task was well done. It was to show that his work was the summit of his accomplishment and that his utmost effort had gone into it. Similarly, the staff of the 1960 Colophon has done likewise in the hope that our efforts have successfully de- picted an accurate picture of the academic term at Wyomissing High School. Acknowledgments Although the Class of 1960 worked hard this year, we realize that without the support of the students, faculty, and citizens of the community, the publica- tion of this book would not have been possible. Our thanks go to Mr. Shirk for his guidance with the photographyg to Mr. Goodling for his assistance in finan- cial mattersg to Mr. Milford for his aid in editingg to Mr. George Deininger for his photographyg to Ensinger Printing Service for the printingg and to National Publish- ing Company for the binding and covers. Finally, to all the others who helped us with the publication of the 1960 Colo- phon we extend sincere appreciation. nr-.1 3' 5' W3 e , wi- A J 1 ,-13 wwf vi 3 r, -mf' v ,qv .,. ,. xf 3' . .f ' . ,- V 1 -,nf .- - -la is 'lffw uf 'dw '51, Vg' z fy Yi and fd' N3 9... we A v ff '31 sf 4' .I 'T 21 3, mfif,:,:-I lf- - , K ,AQ Q is, -',,, ' 'H' .N 'T' .15 li t' '15, New ,if-an 'wif' 1- ,512 f-J x Y , iff Q F ' -I 9-QQ' 5 ' i M 1' . 4 if g - H A' 12' V1.5 s - -11' ' ,.
