Celebrities Abound for Bicentennial Dress-up Day
l Bcnatic~Amo\d
One Bicentennial activity at State High was the Bicentennial Dress-up Day. Students a nd teachers were asked to dress in clothing relative to their ethnic heritage. There was a very good response. Some of the more conspicuous teachers included Mr. Wentz (complete with tri-corncred hat). Mr. Mutzeck {who looked positively Alpine). and Mrs. York (Heidi herself). Toward the end of the day. the student body attended a n assembly in the gym. As students lined the bleachers and crowded the floor. the Little German Band struck up a waltz, followed
by some other old-time favorites (real old-time. but basically timeless). The lntcrlandia University Folk Dancers were on the program. and the State High Square Dance Club performed for the crowd. Finally. teachers and students started to waltz. with the Little German Band really taking off. The assembly culminated in the collision of two students with th e waltzing Herr Strause and Mrs. Tellefsen. As the mass of flailing limbs crashed to the dance floor. the German Band concluded its waltz, and the students left for their busscs to go home.

Everyone Loves the Parade BICENTENNIAL BACKTALK Activities based around the Bicentennial inevitably teemed at State High this year. Mrs. Jacobs chaired the Bicentennial Committee, which was comprised of faculty members from each school discipline and students representing each of the school's major organizations. The Committee organized various activities to encourage school spirit toward the Bicentennial: the Bicentennial-Homecoming Parade with the theme "Our Nation's Heritage -Foundation for Tomorrow," "Windows of Historic Highlights'' in downtown stores, and the PTA Back-to-School night were only a few. Many national programs were also sponsored for the Bicentennial. These programs, education-oriented, usually offered scholarship prizes for successful students. The National Education Association sponsored the " My America" competition, awarding prizes for student research in the arts, sciences, and humanities. NBC also ran the "What is an American?'' essay contest for high school students throughout the
country. These projects allowed students to view the country retrospectively, and at the same time. to work toward constructive changes in the future. Students' reactions to these activities varied. The opinions that follow represent a cross-section of the thoughts obtained through a student questionnaire. "I think it is thrilling to be able to remember my graduation as the Bicentennial celebration." -Jean Ann DeFluri "The Bicentennial should be primarily a time to reexamine and bring into focus our nation's roots and ideals." -Tom Blackadar "Our community, like most, is placing too much emphasis on the Bicentennial. The Bicentennial Committee should stop putting so much money toward parades and displays and give it to the Cancer Society or New York City or anything else that will make this a better country." -Jerry Dodds
Scenes from the Bicentennial- Homecoming Parade ( Ieft
to
The District-wide Bicentennial Parade added an exciting twist to the usual homecoming festivities at State High and should be remembered for a long time. Organization behind the parade, which was sponsored by the State High Bicentennial Committee under the direction of Mrs. Bates, began in the spring of '75. Students participated not only for fun , but also for competition and awards. Judges Charles Mong, Jo Hays, Louise Mook, Nena Winand, and Sara Hess evaluated three types of units: floats, bands, and marching units. Thirty-eight units. ranging from dignitaries in antique cars to singing minuteman, marched from campus to the high school. Intense competition came in the senior high float division. Many clubs planned floats well in advance. There were others who did not such as the Class of '76. With only two days left, the Class had done nothing in preparation for the event. A cry rang forth for the Class of '76 to participate, spurring a few devoted Class of '76ers to design and construct a float that won second place. First place went to F.F.A.'s ''Farm Spirit of '76' ' float, which featured its prize-winning square dance team. State High Thespians. who staged The Prince of Parthia. the first American play, took third place. Awards were presented during the half-time show of the State College-Harrisburg football game. The parade ended with a bicentennial birthday cake. Lovely Katie Brooks, Centre County's Junior Miss. was t.hrowing kisses and candy, both of which were very sweet.

With 2:40 left in the State College-Williamsport football game, the crowd gave Matt Suhey a standing ovation as he accepted the game ball for having broken the Pennsylva nia high school rushing record. Little Lion fa ns were temporarily crushed when loca l papers revealed a n error in ca lculating Matt's sophomore sta tistics that left him a few ya rds short of the record.

Sudd~nly, from out of nowhere (or out of somewhere, whichever happened to be closer), George T. Skateboard ca me whizzing into view. Fall 1975 saw the return in full force of those crazy four-wheeled gadgets of ' 60s fame. The number of skateboards in the State College a rea sky-rocketed th is fall. and the police consequently restricted use on sidewalks and in a lleys as a safety pre~ caution. But State High students have always been ingenious when it comes to circumventing legal intricacies. and this time we found the parking garage to be the location of the weekly practices organized fo r skateboarding enthusiasts. The first an nual State College S kateboard Competition was also held a t the garage, with categories for people of a ll ages and abilities. Unanimously the biggest comeback of the 1975-76 school year. skateboards offered an easy diversion fo r those afflicted with senioritis and other high school contagions.
Movie Mania Last summer, the American movie industry created its biggest sensation in years wi th the movie Jaws. Many people were a ttracted to the movie "because everyone else was going." For the seven weeks that Jaws stayed in SC, the movie was the only thing people discussed. Not only was the movie a monumental success. but it also bred scores of rela ted gi mmicks: T-shirts, socks. and the record "Santa Jaws:' to name a few.

Signs of the Times
Luann Bruce and Marcus Mann perfect a new variation of ..the bump...
A number of unique and peculiar trends characterized the Bicentennial year at State High. Music. dancing. Citizen Band radios. and electronic watches were only a few of the fads for up-to-date members of the Medicine Show community. Time magazine estimated I 5% of the year's music to be what they aptly titled "sex rock:" Songs such as Let's Do It Again and Love to Love You Baby that conveyed their message in "grunts and groans and languishing moans." The bump and the hustle were the year's dancing crazes; students worked on new variations twenty-four hours a day. even in gym class. Music and dances not only reflected the moods of the year but also acted as a place for originality in the Medicine Show. C.W. McCall's song. Convoy. reflected one of the latest. and perhaps most practical. fads. The song's Citizen Band jargon rose to the top of the charts in only three. weeks. Used to aid in
alluding the police as well as locating help in an emergency. CB radios gained popularity as a means of communicating with one's friends. Telling one's handle to a select group of people. CB owners could communicate incognito while traveling. One national estimate stated that approximately ten thousand CB's were sold per day during the Christmas rush. One ingenious owner even published a list of State College handles from a computer program. While travelers kept "the bugs off their glass and the bears (policemen) off their tails" via CB radio. jewelers sold the latest in "gadget jewelry:" electronic watches. Pulsar was the predominant brand of digital watch; the company even offered a watch with a built-in calculator. These fads and many others helped to keep everyone laughing about similar topics and avoiding the sleep-inducing effects of overconcentration in school.
No, I didn't Stick my finger in a socket! "I was just going to the beauty salon to have my hair trimmed when the hair dresser showed me a picture of the new "Orphan Annie" style and told me I'd look good in it. I just looked at him and said 'You've got to be kidding!' After a while he talked me into it. I guess it was just a spur of the moment thing." -Karen Vratarich
What do I tell the doctor? Everyone invented his own variation of the "bump" as it became the year's da ncing craze: but when Andrea Moore tried to combine it with the swing, she ended up with a twist. A twisted ankle. that is. While bumping with her cousin. Andrea was thrown against a wall and ended up with crutches for over a month.

Maybe the bad weather activated old war injuries. Maybe SC orthopedic surgeons put a curse on high school students. Or maybe we just have a proclivity for fractured limbs. In any case. this was certainly the year for broken bones and peculiar inJuries at State High. Impediments ranged from a broken nose to dislocated hips and covered the entire skeletal structure. Our most accurate count included some fifteen broken arms. ten mangled legs. and myriad twisted fingers and toes. Admittedly, it was almost impossible to keep abreast of the latest casualties. and this a rticle is. at best, incomplete. John Kistler led the roster of unprecedented injuries when he found his nose broken by a Bellefonte booster

Comprised solely of State High students. the team was coached by Mr. Robert Hettema. Over twenty boys practiced Sundays a t the Penn State Ice Pavilion and on their own during the week. Opening their season on the road. the Lions beat Lancaster, 4-3, in a hard-
fought match for both teams. Returning home to face York, the team outskated its opponent en route to a 6-3 victory. In a nother impressive win. the Little Lions downed the Penn State JV team in an exhibition match. With a meet almost every weekend, the SC Youth Hockey Club proved that enthusiasm and determination can make hockey a dynamic high school sport.

Students make game of " arbitrary" rules State High administrators had a difficult time enforcing regulations that seemed arbitrary a nd breakable from students' perspectives. The most prevalent example was the faculty's inability to keep students from parking in the front parking lot. Teachers were issued new ma roon stickers and a lot attendant was hired to police the area. but these measures proved ineffective: As soon as the "happy parking lot man left. unauthor ized cars appeared from
behind bushes a nd trees and scurried into the available. unprotected stalls.

Similarly. we fluctuated between studies and extracurricular activities. homework and Medicine Show madness.

When totaled. only a scant forty-three inches (five below the average) of snow accumulated from November to February. but it was deposited in a small. steady flurry that kept streets. cars. and people white and fluffy all winter. To pace the chilly months. students became more dogmatic. delving into all activities with continuous energy and enthusiasm. Realistic goals were determined and then achieved through persistent work and study. While the weather remained cold. students were forced to stay indoors. gaining momentum for the great spring exodus.

English as Second Language This year. as in the past. a small portion of the student body was comprised of foreign students from various corners of the world. Students from Greece, Vietnam. and Venezuela enrolled at State High this year. They came here with hopes of expanding their knowledge of the English language and familiarizing themselves with the American culture. Having spoken with several foreign students. I have discovered that they do like going to school here. Of course the people and customs in the United States are different from those of their native countries; but the transition has been relatively easy for them, a nd they are enjoying State High. -John Riger
Mrs. King explains the many uses of
passive verb forms to English as a Second La nguage students.
Campaign '76 Democrats: Attrition at work When the presidential primary circuit opened in early I 976. nine Democratic candidates vied for the opportunity of facing President Ford. or another GOP candidate. in the November election. As the combination of contributions. Federal Election Boa rd matching funds. and energy diminished, the number of remaining candidates waned. By the time of the Pennsylvania primary. only three strong contenders. Jimmy Carter. Morris Udall. and Henry Jackson remained. Governor Shapp. a member of the original nine. made Pennsylvania a pivotal primary state. challenging the Democratic candidates to a public-television debate. Meanwhile. Hubert Humphrey gathered support in a circuitous manner. usi ng speeches and media coverage in place of the typical. enervating primary quest for delegates. Although almost any of the rema ining candidat(';S is a viable choice for the Democratic convention in July. the outcome rests with the ability to survive the primaries with the funds and rapport necessary for election. leaving Jimmy Carter as the obvious frontrunner.
Republicans: Two man race While the Democrats squabbled among many candidates. the Republican struggle was a contest of two men: President Ford and Ronald Reagan. former governor of California. Many individuals questioned the Republicans' chances in light of Watergate-rela ted occurrences. but the quest for nomination remained heated. Ford undoubtedly held a small incumbent advantage even though he was never elected president. And while he won the majority of the Republican primaries. Reagan remained a threat from the standpoint of convention and party platform control. Nomination seemed certain for Ford. but the question remained: Can a Republican presidential candidate survive the country's post-Watergate prejudices and disbelief?
Issues '76 What constitutes "death"?
The struggle to ratify ERA
Karen Quinlan 's near-fatal consumption of alcohol a nd barbiturates over a year ago prompted scores of legal. medical. and ethical questions concerning death and the right to die. While she remained in a coma-like state. sustained only by the mechanical respirator tha t pumped oxygen in and out of her lungs. her parents asked a New Jersey jury for th e right to unplug this respirator. As Karen approached a natural death. her parents finally won their legal battle and were given permission to pull the plug if a medical ethics board approved the court decision. Regardless of their decision. the fundamental problems of defining "death" and deciding when to terminate life remain moot points requiring further consideration by all.
If th e proposed Equal Rights Amendment is to become a part of the United States Constitution. it must be ra tified by th irtynine states by I 979. Although only fo ur more states are needed. the struggle has become arduous. with many crucial states voting against the amendment when it has been placed on their general election ballots. In New York. a massive movement organized against ERA. Many of the groups' claims were fallacious. but they succeeded in blocking passage of New York's ERA and demonstrating that strong emotional appeals often overshadow statistical evidence on salient issues.
Media and jury try Patty Hearst When the FBI finally located Patricia Hearst. her case had received so much publicity that many questioned whether she could receive a n impartial bank robbery trial. Hearst's attorney. F. Lee Bai ley. introduced a number of experts in the area of brainwashing but was unable to convince the jury that Patty had unknowingly and unwillingly participated in the Hibernia bank robbery with the SLA. Although Bailey presented a good case for temporary insanity. Patty's own actions and reactions while on trial seemed indicative of her guilt to the jury. She pleaded the fifth amendment over fort y times. refusing to answer numerous questions and often breaking down in court.
Two mysterious deaths Two world-renowned figures. one a master of intriguing mystery novels. and the other a recluse billionaire. died in. I 976. Agatha Christie had al ready written her final novel. Curtains. in anticipation of death. Howard Hughes. a mystery throug hout life. died peacefully on his way to medica l treatment in Houston.
"Cuckoo's Nest" goes crazy at Oscars One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest swept the top four categories of the 1976 Academy Awa rds. a feat unequalled since It Happened One Night in I 934. Louise Fletcher. Best Supporting Actress. presented a moving accepta nce dedicated to her deaf parents: "Thank you for teaching me to have a dream. You are seeing my dream come true ... Jack Nicholson walked away with Best Actor as Milos Foreman accepted Best Director honors. Their combined efforts won the award for Best Picture from what was also the Best Ada pted Screenplay. All of this combines to prove that State College isn't the world's only insane asylum .

While the lobby has always been the center of study-hall hubbub, a number of additions helped make it more of a student center this year.

"SenioritisH alive at State High Although the major symptoms of this dreaded epidemic waited for warm weather, warning signals could be evidenced from the first day of school. Mike Webb and Jim Rallis "Senioritis" does exist, and it open fire on Steve Novosel. plagues State High teachers each year. Try as they may, seniors cannot seem to concentrate on academic priorities with the same en~l-iusiasm they held as underclassmen.

After recovering from the sale of a gross of jackets that had been ordered by lame duck officers at the end of last year. the new group organized a number of innovative projects, including Dance Marathon '76 and the Great Bicentennial Garage Sale. Senate also coordinated soda sales for the Student Store. Although there was some question about the marathon's legitimacy. it remained the craziest, most successful. most enjoyed fund-raising project in State High history. Over thirty couples. two of which are pictured at left. competed for scores of prizes from local merchants. Big Fred Honsberger and the WRSC Road Show broadcasted from the marathon on Saturday afternoon when the dancers were nearing physical exhaustion. This project and others built enthusiasm for the dinner /dance. senior week. and commencement and united the Class of '76 for the first time in three years.
What's with the camera? [n January, a surveillance camera scanned the smokers' parking lot and the benches outside from its perch inside the main office.

Being a senior meant reaching a peak. After laboring for years, sometimes in a way that made little sense, we stood on the top. only to find that the thrill of accomplishment was accompanied by new confusion. The security of twelve years vanished. and countless options presented themselves. Each path led from the peak to a new路 beginning. Decisions became critical. The future was visible only through dreams and contemplation. Along with the feeling of teetering on the brink of something important and the sadness of leaving close friends came a sigh of relief. A concoction of forces helped us make the climb to graduation: competition. smiles, teachers, and hard work. The prescriptions were easy to follow, though not always easy to tolerate. O!)ly the linament of friends and activities and the love and encouragement of those close to us soothed the aches and pains of eye strain, lack of sleep, and frustration over lastminute homework. Medicine for discouragement included playing pinball, getting lost in music, eating. partying, or just talking. Without these potions of Jove and laughter, high school would probably have been unbearable. Seniority was an end and a beginning. There was little time to remedy mistakes. The people who were molded as participants in the Happy Valley Medicine Show move on to new horizor,s and new challenges.

When asked what they remembered most about junior high, some seniors responded with these: "Trying to hide squirt guns a nd water ba lloons on the last day of school." -Ed Glantz "The girls used to hang around with the girls. and the boys used to hang around with the boys." -Karen Yrata rich "All of the bomb threats in seventh grade during the split sessions.'' -Lynn Dai ley ' 'Junior high is an experience that stunts the educational growth of an individual." -Karl Det rick

"I've had senioritis since third grade .. . . . this is our year." -Nancy Aspaturian The Class of '7 6 was a crazy class, and their year was understandably nonsensical. For the members of the senior class, 197 5-76 was a final chance to take advantage of the Medicine Show's myriad opportunities. Senioritis was a common malady. with parties and other comical activities highlighting daily life. Caught in between the simple past and the questionable future. time abounded for seniors to share friendship and lackadaisical times with their class mates.

The Class of '76: Emphasizing Individual Performances
Laurie McClure has been playing the harp since junior high school. H er biggest thriff was being asked to play for a university music group where she was able "to hear aff the different instruments from the inside of the whole sound." Upon the seat of his homemade bicycle. Randy Moore raced in twenty-five competitions last season. He is fookingforward to his next race and a chance for a spot in Nationals. But when asked if he enjoyed watching bicycle races. Randy replied. "NEVER!"
Although Ed Dunkelberger learned how to ride horses in grade school. he did not enter his first rodeo until the summer of I 975. And staying on a buff. like the he ff ion pictured here. is a fresh event in Ed's life. Why does he take the risk involved in broncing? "It's really a lot offun. Besides. I can't think of a better way to break in my jeans."

lifting weights was Al Kesler'sfavorite high school pastime. As a member of I the Penn State Barbell - ~ Club. he participated in 't many competitions. constantly striving/or a chance at the mighty Nationals. Al enjoys his weight-lifting because "you must decide the workout schedule for yourself. so you develop a tremendous feeling ofse!fdiscipline."

Carla Huckabee, an avid swimmer for over eight years. was dismayed to learn that the Schoof Board would not appropriate any money for the State High swimmers or offer them any other means ofsupport: "This simply reflects the town's ludicrous belief that swimming and indoor pools are fringe benefits, not necessities. Certainly. the school should be willing to do more than show off the trophies we win in its name."
"
Jackie Howe and Cindy Dunkel completed the necessary course requirements and graduated at the end of the first semester. Cindy anticipated the transition in September: "/ will have to adjust to graduation-oriented changes sooner than the rest / of my class; however. I am ready to enter a new phase of life."
As President of the Senior Class. Peter Cook's biggest compf-aint was "This school needs a student government that works for the student." But while working/or necessary revisions. he was never afraid to add. "The Class of '76 is the best class State High has ever had-or ever will have."

Park twins sail to Nationals
Carol and Mary could sail aimost before they could walk.
Lisa Joanne Croyle
Lynn Marie Dailey
For Mary and Carol Park, the desire to sail started at an early age when their father bought a five foot wooden boat. After a move from New York to Pennsylvania, the family established the first State College Area boating store. With the knowledge and experience gained through this outlet, the sisters decided to enter into competition, finally reaching their highest goal .. . the national championship. Working their way into the National Sailboating Championships was no easy job for Carol and Mary Park. After races in Michigan and New York. they finally found the magic touch and became the first women to take First Place in a National Competition. For Mary and Carol, sailing has always been an integral part of their lives. They have fulfilled many of their expectations as a result of their keen interest and untiring efforts in sailing.

given day of the 1975-76 school year, at least three or four clubs could prob~bly have been found working on their . .hi. . individual projects long after regular school hours ended. The uniq ue projects and goals pursued by State High 路s many extracurricular organizations closely paralleled the diversity of the students who comprised their ranks. Club participants were indefatigable. Faced with a dearth - of money and administrative sup~ por t. they nevertheless continued to expand their talents and scope through meetings. rehearsals, ~ -: workshops. and seminars held throughout the year. With the exception of the choirs. which . were regularly scheduled classes, a ll of the. clubs competed for participants' time as well as available school facilities.

to coordinate meetings were haphazard and last-minute. In order to have money for performances and projects路, the clubs peddled all types of wares with various degrees of success. State High clubs could not master the .. major project ''; and, for most, funds accumulated slowly through long hours of nickel and dime profit. Bake ~ales and lollipops abounded, each the gimmick of myriad clubs. Though their merchandise was hack-
neyed, club members pushed and primed it with an enthusiasm that bordered on obsequiousness. Man y students peddled goods for two or three clubs simultaneously because time, as usual, was scarce and precious commodity. Organizations provided a number of services for their members: guest speakers, field trips, opportunities to teach and practice one's talents; and most of aIL groups of students and teachers united through mutual inter-
a
est. Advisors seemed more human outside of class, performing their individual specialties for spellbound audiences. For a number of students who ''majored in extracurricular activities, .. organizations were not only a place for diversion but also the focal point of an entire vear. These ambitious students participated in many clubs, forming the crux of student activities at State High. For those who chose to devote themselves to
clubs and their projects, special recognition was prodigious in all areas. But each student, no matter what his degree of participation, found enrichment and frivolitv from the manv activities offered in addition to the eight-period day at State High. These organizations and endeavors formed the side shows of the Happy Valley Medicine Show.

In the arena of Little Lion spor ts, 1975-76 was a year of not only dedication and determination, but also agonizing defeat. Our teams and our school became so accustomed to victory that each loss was cold and sobering. In addition to the relatively brief period of time spent in actual competition, our athletes worked continuously to maintain coordination, build endurance, and execute precise timing and accuracy. Many challenged themselves in the corridors of Rec Hall and State High when coaches were home planning strategies. Diet, conditioning, and mental preparation were integral portions of the training process. Coaches and players com-

bined to turn novices into expert performers, individual stars into teamoriented athletes. Overall, the Lion athletes proved tough competition, demonstrating diversity, agility, and strength. Perhaps this reality was the most poignant: A maximum effort insures neither victory nor crowd support, only the satisfaction gained from a task faithfully performed. But even in defeat, athletes remained the dominant heros of the Medicine Show in the public's view.

''Football to IDe isn't winning or losing, it's having fun." John Riger #83 Tight End "I haven't been so disgusted since '69 when we lost to Lewistown," growled Coach Williams into the stony silence of a losing team's locker room, "a couple of guys bust their tails and everyone else takes it easy." We lost our opening game to a fired-up DuBois team-a good team, but certainly no more talented than ours was. The '75 Little Lions, according to Coach Williams, had "as much potential as any team we've ever had here." What had Mr. Williams storming at DuBois on that early September night was his team's poor attitude. A hustling and successful group of 1974 juniors had become (with a few exceptions) a complacent group of 1975 seniors. Complacency does not win football games. The coaching staff's subsequent changes became a turning point in our season: They disciplined us by 'intensifying our practices and gave each player more time to concentrate on one position by moving almost entirely to a two-platoon system. With our pride rekindled, we slaughtered Lock Haven 56-6. Though the competition was mediocre, we needed a big win to purge the DuBois malaise and to build momentum for the tough, upcoming weeks. We chugged back uphill to a 4-1 record by beating York (34-0), Altoona (14-0), and Hollidaysburg (19-0)-the latter two teams were undefeated. However, at Hollidaysburg, Matt Suhey was injured; and with unbeaten Cedar Cliff coming to town the next Friday, many expected our luck to change. Playing with a zeal inspired in part by Suhey's injury and also by Cedar Cliff's perfect record we beat the Colts, 13-9. With four games left, we were riding high. Our defense had played heroically since DuBois, and the offense had moved the ball against a Cedar Cliff defense that
"When I was young, I idolized high school football players. Even as a sophomore and a junior, I admired the members of our high school team. Then, as a senior, I finally talked myself into going out for the sport, and I was fortunate enough to play the entire season. Despite the hard work, football was a thrill for me ... I did the one thing I had always wanted to do." -C.J. Wagner #42 Defensive Halfback

had not yielded a previous touchdown. Once again, State High's name appeared in the Saylor ratings as one of the Top 10 teams in Pennsylvania. Imagine the gall of Chief Logan to even make the trip up to State College! Few fans chose to sit in the downpour to watch us play Chief Logan. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, we held a 10-0 lead; with 13 seconds left in the game, the score was 10-6 and Chief Logan had the ball on our !-yard line. Not until their ball carrier sloshed in for a touchdown did we realize what had happened: " little Chief Logan" had beaten us! Certainly the rain affected the game. A few of our key defensive people missed the game, and Chief Logan did play well. But the main reason for our defeat was that old nemesis: poor attitude. We came back to defeat three relatively good teams: Harrisburg (21-14) , Indiana (34-7). and Williamsport (25-0). We ended the season with an 8-2 record; a record that Mr. Williams is quick to point out, would please most schools. "We have some very fine football players," grinned Mr. Williams in a relaxed Williamsport lockerroom. He always says it best. -Jim Houck #33 Defensive Halfback

''Opportunities for girls in golf are iIDproving.'' -Joanne Menoher Girls involvement in golf at State High is on the up swing. Several years ago an annual Spring Invitational was started. Two years ago, the first P.1.A.A. Girls Competition was held. This year State College again participated but fa ced much stiffer competition. Unfortunately, there was not enough interest in golf in other area schools for State College to have a regular match schedule. Nevertheless. the girls on the team held regular practices and clinics with the goal of personal improvement. 0

''Soccer requires the ability to run until you can't take another step and then running soille Illore." -Loren Adams #10, Halfback Under the direction of Head Coach Ken Fogleman, this year's soccer team completed a successful but frustrating season with a record of 11-3-1. After completing eleven games, including two losses to the year's arch rival, West Snyder, State entered its two most important games against District 6 opponent Altoona. The winner of these playoff games would then enter State competition against the District 4 winner. State defeated Altoona in two exciting games, combining a tight defense with powerful offensive drives to emerge as the rival of the District 4 champ: none other than West Snyder. After three days of grueling practice, the team entered the game with a positive state of mind. This, however, proved to be State's only visible strength as the team was once again thwarted by West Snyder's unpenetrable defense, 2-1. Sporting only one returning starter, Coach Fogleman opened the season with an optimistic outlook. As the season progressed, the starting line-up changed often with both seniors and underclassmen jogging in and out of the lineup. During the last five games, the most important of the season, team leadership came from Joe Taricani, Mark Cunningham, and co-captains Bill Carroll and Jack Chernega. The starting lineup also included seniors Dave Schmidt and Mark Landiak, along with juniors Dennis DeMartino, Dave Shelow, and Don Rung. Shawn Muthersbaugh made a State College first. starting for the varsity squad in his sophomore year. Other seniors who worked in and out of the lineup included Bart Coffman, Jerry Dodds, Loren Adams, and Eric Mccarl on the line; Randy Moore, Jeff Suhr, and Phil Heasley as fullbacks; Phil and Paul Busovne at halfback; and goalie Don Baumgardt.

The crux of this year's team was largely underclassman, which should provide a strong foundation for next year's squad. And though the team was disheartened after losing to West Snyder for the third time, post-season honors reaped upon the team helped lessen the anguish. Five players received Tri-Valley League All-Star berths: Chernega, Carroll, Taricani, and Schmidt on the first team; and Cunningham as a second-string selection. Carroll and Taricani were also named to the Pennsylvania Coaches All-State team with Taricani representing the league as a Region 3 All-American. -Joe Taricani, #1, Goalie

The girls' cross country team finished its second season undefeated. "This year there was a lot more talent. There were more girls who came out," remarked Coach Ann Infield. The year marked not only increased interest and participation, but also an expanded schedule for the team. Despite some injuries. Mrs. Infield was pleased with the team's performance. Under her guidance, the girls took first place in all three invitationals they attended and won both of their dual meets with Jersey Shore. All team members had the chance to participate in at least one meet. The top six girls, Barb Black, Sue Haythornthwaite, Marge Keefer, Tisha Tarnowski, Martha White, and Sally White combined to win second place in PIAA state competition. When asked at the close of the undefeated season why she participated in cross country, one girl replied, "It's a good feeling to know you helped win a race. But mostly, I'm here because I like to run."
''Cross Country at State is like one happy family, and it was a great experience for me." -Eric Holmboe The State High harriers once again closed their season with a perfect dual meet record, first place in the District 6 meet, and a very tight third place finish in the PIAA meet at Penn State. Although it posted an unde路 teated dual meet campaign , the State College cross country squad ran into problems through路 out the season. The Lions suffered their first shock early in August when Captain Dave Felice, seventh in the state last year, suffered a broken foot that kept him out of action until mid-season. After adjusting the lineup to compensate for the loss of Felice. State College was again upset by the loss of Scott Corvin, a consistent number-two man, when he moved away from the district. With the loss of Corvin and the injury to Felice, Eric Holmboe came through under pressure to become State's top competitor. The entire team kept its poise as Dave Doll, Doug Boyle, Gary Black, Steve Summers, and John Dixon pulled the team together for another fine season. Holmboe amazed everyone with his second place finish in the PIAA state meet. Felice, who was still a few weeks behind conditioning, finished twenty-third; and two weeks later, he took seventh place in the USTAF high school easterns. Eric Holmboe will be back next season to help Coach Horner, as the Little Lion harriers continue their quest for victory, which has become a cross country tradition at State High. -Dave Felice

Field Hockey at State College this year was really different. This was the year of the dedicated player. In the spring of 1975, a novel idea was proposed and plans were made for the team to attend a hockey camp in Philadelphia. Thirty girls woke up at 5:00 A.M., played hockey for four hours and sat through two hour-long car rides every day for a week. Another new facet: the team began practices before school started. After approximately three weeks of practice, State College invited Bellwood-Antis to scrimmage, giving newer players a chance to relieve themselves of first game jitters. Obviously, this plan succeeded. The JV team went undefeated this year, something never accomplished by its predecessors. For the first time in six years, the Varsity team defeated West Perry. Going into its last two games, the Varsity needed only one win to capture the Tri-Valley league Championship. However, they dropped a poorly played game to West Snyder and could only muster a tie against East Juniata, leaving the season record at .6-2-2. State College then hosted a playday, placing second to Bellwood-Antis. In the District 6 Playoffs, Varsity lost to Bellwood-Antis and was eliminated. A surprise this season was the profusion of ninth graders out for the team. Only one freshman, Kristi Miller, made first string JV, but all freshmen had a chance to play in a JV game. JV Coaches Mrs. Florence LeRoy and Mrs. Sue Grand were happy with the effort and potential exhibited by the freshmen.
Field Hockey 137
The Varsity tennis squad had some unique experiences this season. "At the beginning of the season, we had high hopes of having an undefeated season and of being Central League Champions again," explained senior Sarah Steele. However, the team was beaten, 4-3, by Altoona in its first match. After that, the girls went undefeated and captured the Central League championship. Starting off the season with a loss "really made us work together," said Sherrie Glass. Thei r final record, 12-1, included ten shutouts, showing the absence of high caliber competition in the girls' schedule. "Our toughest opponent was Altoona, and we beat them two matches out of three," remarked Sue Dixon. The squad fou nd a way around this problem in their intra-team challenge matches. Coach Anne Fry said, "I think the girls gave each other more com petition than the other schools did. There was a lot of talent on the team this year. Cathy Schmidt has gone two seasons undefeated in regular matches. The top five positions were always switching around. For the first time in five years, a freshman, Sue Whiteside, filled the number one spot." Also playing in that slot during the season were seniors Sue Dixon and Sarah Steele. Eight girls played in the top five positions: Sue Dixon, Sherrie Glass, Marcia Martsolf, Caroline Peattie, Jacque Quinn, Cathy Schmidt, Torie Sneff, and Sarah Steele. According to the Coaches, Mrs. Helen Magnuson and Mrs. Edith Whiteside, the JV team also worked hard this season. One team member expressed the opinion, "I was a little disappointed that the varsity had nothing to do with the JV; there were not even any challenge matches," but cheerfully concluded that "disappointment is just a part of the game." As Caroline Peattie put it, "Tennis can be one of the most frustrating sports around-but when suddenly everything comes together, it's one of the most satisfying experiences I know."

"I'll never forget indoor field and track because it provided a relaxing outlet after a hard day." -Mark Landiak, Pole Vaulter
"Indoor track and field" was a deceptive title for Coach Jackson Homer's winter squad, as this year's runners spent most of their practice time outside, jogging through the snow and slush on the Westerly Parkway track or around the high school parking lot. The fieldmen, under the watchful eye of Coach Tom Wallace, prepared for the upcoming spring season in the cramped Fairmount Avenue gym. Lacking a field house in the SC area, the indoor track team, which included girls for the first time this year, was forced to take long bus trips every weekend in search of the toughest scholastic track competition in the East. Although the trips were arduous. many Lions performed well in their individual meets. Brothers John and Jim French placed second and fifth respectively in the high jump competition of the Bishop Laughlin Games in New York. Carl Granlund, Jim French, and Dave Felice won their events at the Wyoming Valley West Invitational. Dave's time of 9:34 broke the State High record in the two-mile run. And in his strongest showing of the season, pole vaulter Mark Landiak placed third in the Philadelphia Track Classic. The indoor season ended concurrently with the beginning of the outdoor meets. the sole transition being the annual State College Invitational Track and Field Meet on March 27.

'' After a shot, I just want to hear the 'swish'.'' -Kathy Dolan, # 40, Forward Tug McGraw once said, "You've got to believe." And it was belief in their own ability as a group that pulled the girls' basketball team together for a successful record. Halfway through the season, the Lady Lion basketball team was 2-5. "We just weren't working as a unit," lamented one member. But the girls and Coach Frank Zook found a winning combination over Christmas vacation and steamrolled their way through nine consecutive victories. The bubble burst at League Championships, however, where the team fell to East Juniata. 48-37. The season was best summarized by one player who said, "We just kept bouncing back." Those playing principle roles in the Cinde· rella season were seniors Deb Roggenbaum and Lynn Palermo, and juniors Kitty Sherwood. Kathy Dolan. Deb Fetterolf, Kim Schollen berger. and Holly Nelson. The team was coordinated by Coach Zook and JV mentor Florence LeRoy. Because there was an absence of individual talent, teamwork became the key to victory. The JV team, winners from the season's outset. captured the Tri-Valley JV Championship, beating previously undefeated Greenwood, 28-25. Their performance was spurred by freshmen Dorothy Raffel, Linda Bolan. Nan Barash. and Sally Bingaman, and sophomore Leesa Folk.

-Mark Allan, Vaulting The 1975-76 edition of the State College gymnastics team was perhaps the most talented ever to mount the apparatus in St uniforms. On December 13, 1975, State College placed second at the Altoona lnvita· tional. Only Ambridge, a team with three returning state champions, could beat Coach Hubie White's Lions. In three dual meets with Williamsport, State came out on top by .99. although they suffered two losses. The rest of the dual meet season was a breather before our individual competition out-classed the field at districts. Individually, a talented all-around duo, David Weintraub and John Roberts. led the Lions all season. The two performers ac· counted for two-thirds of the team's scoring, each contributing over thirty-four points per meet. While John's strength combined with well-executed "stutzes" (forward swings with half twists) to make him a solid per· former on parallel bars. David performed "fulls" (backward flips with full twists) in floor excerise and never lost the event. Chris Fagan. an iron man on the still rings, led the specialists. consistently scoring above 8.0 for his fluent routines. As the last performer in a meet. the outcome often rested on Chris's shoulders: a safe enough place to rest any outcome because Chris seemed to literally fly through his routine. Mark Allan found his home as a vaulting specialist this year. A powerhouse in the team's weakest event. Mark's vaults proved invaluable. John Naginey and Jack Chernega combined five years of experience to provide a solid l ·2 punch on the P-bars. Together they proved that hard work can keep even a small team of gymnasts on top. -David Weintraub, All-Around

The youngest girls' gymnastics team in many years extended the SC winning streak into an eighth season. The girls, predominantly underclassmen, defeated Williamsport, Altoona, Bellefonte, Lewistown, Chief Logan, and Indiana in dual meet competition and performed creditably in the Altoona Invitational. The team also sent Martha Lestz, Paula Froke, Davies Bahr, Debbie Hall, Lisa Palermo, Joy Chernega, Lori Huster, Ellie Dailey, and Lynn Paulson into district competition. Most of the district competitors qualified for regionals, with Davies, Paula, and Lori traveling on to state competition in Shippensburg. The team was coached by Hubie White, in conjunction with assistants Janet Cantwell and Sue Lestz. Both Ms. Cantwell, a former Olympic trial finalist, and Ms. Lestz were experienced gymnasts, and the team benefited immensely from their high-quality coaching. Practice began in early November and continued into February, being held Monday through Thursday evenings in the Westerly Parkway gymnasium. There were no cuts this year; anyone seriously interested in gymnastics was considered a member of the team. With this corp of dedicated gymnasts, the coaches attempted to give everyone a chance to compete. Once the girls had developed their regular season routines, they devoted most of their time to perfecting optional and compulsory routines in preparation for PIAA competition. As only one district contender, Lynn Paulson, was lost to graduation, the team should continue to do well in the future, wearing their new baby blue leotards.

As the 1975-76 basketball season opened. the opportunity seemed imminent for the Lions to not only bring the Central State League crown back to State High, but to also have a chance at some post路 season tourney action. Four players who saw frequent action last year, John Riger, Vic Wilson, Mark Hess. and leading scorer Chris Dodds, were returning to the squad. However, the group's potential was never realized, and the Lion Cagers stumbled and struggled through a disappointing 8-14 season. their worst in years. The season was actually twofold: the first half of the year was a season of hope while the second half was one of despair. In their first eight outings, the Lions tallied five wins, three losses, and some very exciting basketball. Their record could easily have been 7-1, with losses to Williamsport and Philipsburg of only two points a-piece. But the long Christmas break proved disastrous for the Lions. Floor leader Vic Wilson left the team, and the Lions were unable to recover their winning ways the remainder of the season. They wound up winning only three of their last four路 teen games. The team displayed much of its early season form at times and played thrilling basketball in every game. The Lions made League contenders work for their victories, sending games into overtime against Lock Haven and Jersey Shore. But the Lions mustered too little too late, losing seven games that they had led at halftime in the closing moments. The season's one bright spot was the spectacular scoring of guard Chris Dodds. The spindly junior twisted and turned his way to 718 points (32.6 per game) , a State High record. John Riger, who copped the Most Valuable Senior award, was the second high scorer with 209 points. He was also the leading rebounder, averaging thirteen per game. Todd Kresge came on strong at the end of the season as a fastmoving forward who aided in a balanced attack. While the season's record was disappointing, the 1977 season looks brighter, with the return of Chris Dodds, Jim Colton, Terry Curley, and a promising corp of JVs.

"State High always has a lot of tough opponents, and this year was no exception. We wrestled some of the top teams in the state and kept every meet exciting to the last bout." -Joel McGahen, 105 lbs. The 1975-76 season began slowly for Coach Ron Pifer and the Little Lion wrestlers. Opening the season with a slim, 24-18 loss to Reynolds, a team with only one loss in 113 matches, State saw its record fall to 0·2 as the team bowed to Dis· trict 6 rival Lock Haven, 29-16. The team showed it's ability to bounce back, however, defeating Bald Eagle, 27-15. The Lions picked up momentum with an ex· cellent performance at the Cedar Cliff Christmas tournament, crowning five champs enroute to the team title. The Lions continued their winning ways and dominated their next three opponents. A 25·21 win over stubborn Dubois was· followed by easy wins over Williamsport, 26· 15, and Chief Logan, 39-14. The Lions hit a midseason slump with consecutive losses to Hollidaysburg and Bellefonte but once again bounced back, this time with their biggest win of the sea· son: a 26-17 romp over defending Central Wrestling Conference champ, Clearfield. The Lions warmed up for their showdown with unbeaten Altoona by defeating Penns Valley, 40-3. State entered the season's final match in the spoiler's role. Altoona was riding a twenty-three-match winning streak and had cruised through the season with no serious challenges. The Lion grapplers put together one of the finest matches of the year, but Altoona prevailed, 23-19. The Lions finished another winning season with a stunning 32· 14 romp of Philipsburg. State placed a strong second to Lock Haven in the District 6 tournament with Joel McGah· en, Mark Person, Dave Koll, Bill Lopez, Andy Bingaman. and Matt Suhey advancing to further competition in the PIAA tournament. Although Coach Pifer lost a fine corp of seniors, including seven starters, many sophomores and juniors will be returning to pace next year's squad. Underclassmen Tim Frey, Andy Eberhart. Jeff Haas, Shawn Muthersbaugh, Larry Dennis, Jeff Harpster and Dave Koll appear to be the nucleus of a strong team next year.

Nestled between the winter and spring sports' seasons, the State High volleyball team had a season of its own, completing a five-week schedule with an impressive. 7-3 record. Each of Coach Betsy Turner's varsity players demonstrated improvement. The high point of the season came when the varsity squad perfected the essential pattern of bump, set, and spike against a talented Penn Cambria team. Under the leadership of Coach Denise Robinson, the JV team began its second season and went on to compile a 7-3 record. As one JV team member quoted,e"We'll miss our senior superstars, but we hope to follow in their footsteps." The JV players felt so close to the varsity team that they wrote them this song, to be sung to the tune of "Do Re Mi:" "Chris (Barner) and Julie (McElfish), the captains of the team, they really set the ball; Lynn (Palermo) . the spiker. a mighty fine spiker: Nora (Wigley) . she's really got the height; Tennie (Shade). she gives us all the laughs; Bobbi (Colton) . . her lefthand serves are great; Joan (Bruce). she is a hopeless case; which will bring us back to Karen . . . Karen (Neff). she is the most aggressive player; Ellen (Kresen ). the most improved of all; Kathy (Kennedy) and Sally (Gilliland). they didn't get to play much, but they really warmed the bench; Sue (Burkey) . the only junior on the squad; Sue (Cole). the senior manager; and this is the varsity v-ball team. We won't forget."

This year's tennis team, led by Coach Mike Shapiro and Assistant Ron Jochen, tried for its eleventh 路路路consecutive Central Counties' League title, the District 6 singles and doubles championships, which it has won for the past eight years, and a continuation of its 115-game winning streak. Team captains Nate Levine, Rich Heimer, and Keith Takei were the only seniors in the top six. Jon Whiteside, Jeff Miceli, and John Garlow rounded out the starting lineup. Overall, the team appeared to be headed for another great season. Coach ShapiFo mentioned that three starters graduated last year, leaving a younger, Jess experienced group to pick up the slack this year. But he also believed that thi_s group was willing to spend many hours practicing and 路drilling to maintain the winning tradition of State High's netmen.

The 1976 State College golf team had the monumental task of duplicating the . performance of last year's team, which captured the Central Penn League championship and compiled a solid, two-year streak of victories. Back from last year's team to attend to the chore were three-year starter Mark Hess, senior Rich Henderson, and the league's 19~5 outstanding golfer, Jeb Boyle. Sophomores Mike Brower and Dave Szklinski and junior Mike Boyle rounded out the squad. Their combined abilities lessened the burden somewhat, making the task seem simple. A smile could be seen upon the lips of Coach John Mutzeck as he dn-iamed of reaching the plateau of one hundred consecutive victories already claimed by the tennis and cross country coaches.

''Spring without softball is like Aunt Jeiniina Ran cakes without the syrup.'' -Lynn Palermo, Pitcher As the month of March rolled around, balls and bats were pulled out of their hiding places for the beginning of the 1976 soft路 ball season. Barry Rossman, in his first year as varsity coach, felt from the season's outset that his team was one of the best teams in the Tri-Valley League. Although the girls lost their opening game to Lewistown. the team with the best pitcher in the League, the squad went on to a successful and encouraging season. Qualified seniors led the squad at all positions. The team's strongest pitcher was captain Mary Sappick, who was replaced by reserves Lynn Palermo, Retta Smith, and Nan Barash when she got in trouble. In softball, players were allowed to return to the game after having been temporarily replaced, and Mary often finished games after one of the others had relieved her. Lynn Palermo, when not pitching, handled the first base position. Senior Lisa Croyle, who also played at first, was one of the team 's strongest hitters and outfielders. Other outfielders were juniors Holly Nelson and Kitty Sherwood. Infield duties were handled by seniors Joni Dennis and Deg Roggenbaum at second base and shortstop, respectively, and junior Sheryl Blumenthal at third. Junior Leslie Rote, the team's top batter, ably handled the catcher's spot all season.

''If nothing else, track is a good way to meet and socialize with friends.'' -Bob Scannell, Javelin
With talent in almost every event, this year's little Lion track and field team showed promise to be one of the best in the school's history. Many fine athletes returned to the squad. which was bolstered by additional sophomore talent. Coach Jackson Horner, along with Assistants Tom Wallace and Robert Baumback, looked forward to a fine season against local. state, and out-of-state competition. Seniors made up the majority of the team, serving as its backbone and foundation. In the field events, state medalist Matt Suhey returned to defend his district titles in the shot put and discus. District men Randy Hochberg and Bob Scannell returned to the javelin. John French defended his district high jump title, with brother Jim challenging him constantly. Bill Carroll and Mark Landiak soured in the pole vault. and Chris Daschbach. Kris Wernstedt, and Carl Granlund returned to the long and triple jump. In the running events, state and eastern medalist Dave Felice returned after a sensational indoor season. Carl Granlund looked tough in the hurdles. Mark Landiak blazed in the sprints. and Dave Doll and Steve Black paced the 440 and 880, respectively. In addition to the seniors, many fine juniors and sophomores contributed to the team's success. Strong junior competitors in路 eluded Marty Nordberg, Jeff Armstrong, Rob Hillis, Tom Davinroy, Mike Shepherd, and distance standout Eric Holmboe. Eric combined with seniors Steve Black, Dave Doll, and Dave Felice to pace the toughest distance medley combo in State High history. The squad received fresh sophomore talent in Gary Black, Dan Rallis, Andy Golub, Dave Ottenstein, Tom Cook, Tom Fitzgerald, Jeff Hochberg, and Mark Lucas. The squad demonstrated depth and balance, defeating tough competitors all season.

Coach Ann Infield was impressed by many facets of the 1976 track and field team. Over one hundred girls contested for the coveted competition spots. New assistants worked with the girls: Steve Gentry handled sprinting and hurdling, while Hubie White aided field competitors. This ·season boasted the largest schedule the team had ever faced. It also displayed a group of very dedicated athletes. five of whom had been in training since fall. In the season's opening meet, the State College Boys' Invitational, Lady Lions fared well, capturing three first-place medals, including one for Sue Haythornthwaite's record breaking half-mile run. This year's team was a curious amalgamation of novices and veterans, mere participants and serious competitors. The common denominator among team members was the desire to perform in meets and to improve personal records. From the season's beginning, Mrs. Infield was optimistic about the team's chances at States. She was especially anxious for field performers Beth Bliesmer, Joyce Schroeder, and Mariellen Hardy and runners Sue Haythornthwaite, Sally White, Bev Pazur, Bette Tobey, Paula Froke, Bonnie Sax, Karen Magnani, Caroline Peattie, and Barb Nesbitt. But as in all sports, only time could prove the true champions.

Coach Ken Barto faced the almost impossible task of replacing nine starters when the Little Lion baseball team opened practice in March. However, when the official season opened in April, the Lion squad felt optimistic about their chances of finishing high in the Central State League. In 1975, State posted a 15-5 record en route to the school's first league title in over ten years. Despite the heavy graduation losses, State had the most experienced pitching staff in the league. Righthanders Dave Gibbs and Todd Kresge handled the spot ably, as they had last season. The rest of the team was relatively inexperienced, with only five others having any previous varsity experience. Seniors Bill Moir and C.J. Wagner performed well off the bench in 1975. Junior Dave Beik and senior Grant Meyers saw only reserve varsity action last year but were expected to fill starting positions in 1976. The Lions appeared to be building an experienced team for next year with fourteen underclassmen on the varsity squad. Under Coaches Barto and Phil Gill, Jr. the Little Lions also formed a top notch baseball program for the 1976 season.

For the fourth year, State College swimmers were able to participate in the PIAA District and State competitions. although they were not recognized as an official team . Under the auspices of the administration, Mr. Shapiro acted as their chaperone. accompanying the swimmers to both meets in an advisory capacity. This year, as in the past two, the Lion swimmers captured the District 6 tr.ophy for State High. In addition, the individual competitors proved their strength, sending four girls and five boys to the state meet at the Natatorium. From a field of twelve teams, only the top two finishers at districts qualified for states. Winning two events apiece, Tammy Brush and LeeAnn Fedon paced the girls' team as well as the victorious 400-yard freestyle relay, which included Joanne Menoher and Julie Breslin. Doug King qualified in 100-yard butterfly in addition to swimming third for the boys' free路 style relay team. Paul Johnson went on to state competition in the 100-yard backstroke, while Carla Huckabee was an alternate for the grueling 500-yard freestyle. Pat Mitchell and Larry Dougan typified the unity of this unofficial team when they hugged one another in elation and disbelief after placing first and second and outdistancing top-seeded Brian Moore of Richland in the 100-yard free路 style. When asked why, one team member replied. "Most of these teams practice twice a day. We took first and second places and we only practice three times a week. Imagine how well we could do if we had an organized team."

In the Medicine Show environment, those who possess special skills and talents naturally rose to the top. Recognition abounded for those who were willing to put forth the dedication and determination necessary to become a star. Some were .. naturals" in their respective areas of specialization, while others toiled long and hard, searching for a combination of prowess and showmanship that could lead to accomplishment and reward. While some awards were academic. the majority were not. Those who wished perfection in a tangential area were forced to lay some portion of studies aside. But these endeavors were uniquely enriching for those who found that a goal was not only more challenging than a hobby but also required extra effort fo r self-satisfaction. The students who received recognition represented the diversitv of State High. They helped to make th~ Medicine Show an energetic and mul tifold group of performers. T hey used their specialties to improve the Show's acts and while doing so brought much-deserved recognition to themselves and to the school.

State High placed fi ve boys on the Tri-Valley All-Star soccer team. Bill Carroll. Jack Chernega, Dave Schmidt, and Joe Taricani represented the Li ttle Lions on the first team, while junior Mark Cunning ham made second string. Afterwards, coaches and sportswriters named Bill and Joe to the All-State team. Joe Taricani was part of a national trend when he performed kicking duties for both the soccer and football tea~s this fall. As the goalie fo r State High 路s soccer team, Joe led the team to an 11-:3-1 record. which included six shutouts, enroute to his All-American berth. When soccer was over, Joe donned his pads and used his powerful foot to add thirty-six points to the scoreboard for the football team.

sE11io1~s' i11divid11al EXPl~ESSiOll .. The Modified School Day was a program designed for seniors \vho felt their educational needs could best be met by having more flexibility in planning their school day. Students admitted to the program developed their own daily schedules with the help of director Sherry Farrall. They were a ll required to meet graduation requirements. but each student utilized the remainder of the school day in an individua lly planned manner. The student and his fami ly carefully considered the alternatives that were available to him. Educational opportunities in the community were diverse and widespread. The purpose of the program was to encourage students to use them practically. Some of tht> activities included studying piano and other instruments; working closely with a lawyer and a veterinarian; serving as a teacher 路s aide in elementary schools; studying dance or equitation and horsemanship; and scheduling courses at PSU. In brief. th ere were many opportunities for young people to develop programs that cou ld help them understand themselves. explore career interests. and become involved in working with others. 路路 -from a bulletin by Sherry Farrall

p1~actical Arranging a schedule that allowed time for study, leisure, and a paying job was easiest for juniors and seniors enrolled in the Work Experience program. Each employed student was supervised by Dr. Donald Cross or Mrs. Connie Infield, who strove to harmoniously match students with prospective employers. The .. bosses .. were integral to WE, grading students on maturity, attitude, responsibility, and salesmanship on the job. At the high school, the students attended various practical, business-oriented courses. Why join such a program? In WE, students used their creative talents in the job market and simultaneously learned new skills. While exploring future career options, they gained both experience and weekly salaries. Instead of acting as consumers, the roles were reversed, and WE students serviced the community as mechanics, journalists, and everything in between.

Although nonacademic accomplishments generally received more recognition in the Medicine Show. faculty members and their combined instructive efforts provided the direction that kept our minds expanding throughout the year. After alL education was supposed to be the purpose of school. Teachers and administrators helped us to become individual performers. not only in the classroom but also through their extracurricular concerns. Each teacher flavored his or her lectures with a special style that made those classes unique and pleasurable. Beyond the material that could be obtained from books. teachers provided insight into courses through the idiosyncrasies and philosophies that made them human beings. State High offered innumerable and diverse academic opportunities during the 197.5-76 school year. New courses began. offering specialization in many areas. Ne"' teachers arrived, replacing archaic methods with scintillating new ones. New goals prevailed. challenging the faculty to expand their programs for the students· benefit. Innovations allowed students to expand their intellectual capabilities in the Medicine Show atmosphere. While the Medicine Show had man y other arenas of interest. the academic environment programed all other school functions and rEmained the most crucial elixir of the many offered by Medicine Sho\\' vendors.

.. During the relatively short time I have been at the State College High School. I have found it to be an enlightening experience. Having come from a school less than half the size of ours I was amazed at the activities and opportunities available to the students here. There seems to be something for everyone if students recognize the potential advantages in what is being offered. In regard to my job, the one aspect I enjoy most is meeting and working with both students and faculty. I attempt to get out of my office and into the halls and classrooms as much as possible. Unfortuna tely, I find some students are not quite as anxious to meet me. Because
of my position, which sometimes means acting as a disciplinarian, some students automatically label me as someone to be avoided. This really bothers me since I see my main responsibility as trying to help students, even in difficu lt situations. If only given the chance. I ,viii do whatever I can to direct stud ents tov.,-ard a successful and happy high school experience. Outside of school I lead a relatively .. normal .. life. The majority of my time is taken up with my fami ly. However, I do find time to pursue my other in terests, including spectator sports, World War II history, and a notso-m ean golf game...

environment. The students, now more than ever, are committed to studying to broaden their knowledge. Parents are also very interested and supportive of school programs. In addition, there is a spirit of cooperation present in thE community. The future at State High looks exciting. However, the school must keep adapting the curriculum and developing new opportunities to help aspiring students gain knowledge in greater depth and perspective. Being a part of State High is great.

Accelerated PSSC introduced The Science Department probably underwent the most significant course changes and faculty rearrangements at State High this year. The first major addition was the Accelerated PSSC Physics course. organized by Chris Tellefsen. Offered no where else in the state, the program focused on entirely independent learning. The Personalized System of Instruction (PSI), designed at MIT. allowed each student to work at his own pace toward periodic "gates,·· tests that required him to demonstrate one hundred percent mastery of specific objective areas. Six Physics II students worked as "super tutors" for the PSSC/ PSI class. As part of an innovative program. students were forced to be flexible, adapting to structural changes that promoted learning for the entire group. As greater numbers of students chose physics courses as science electives, Phil

As a result of the wide dimension of the English language. State H ig h 路s English Department trad itionall y offered a selection of nine-week minicourses to cover as many areas as possible for each student. Mini-courses ranged from literature to communication and incl uded courses that touched upon reading improvement, writing skills. drama. and film . Full-year courses were a lso available: American Heritage. an American literature course; Advanced Placement English, for seniors; and Humanities. an elective taught by John Mutzeck. However, the mini-course system had its drawbacks. as students did not seem to learn as much material and often g rad uated from high school lacking a knowledge of the basics of the English language. Consequently. the mini-course system was dropped at the end of the year, to be replaced by semester courses for all students.
The department added two new teachers to its staff th is year. Lyon Porter, forme rl y an assistant principal, taugh English mini-courses. Newcomer Bruce Musgrave took over the A.P. English vacancy left by Mrs. Derr 's retirement. He was responsible for fi ve sections of that course. the largest num ber of AP sections in the school's history. By the middle of the year. he was dreaming of sunny Hawaii where he had previously taught. At the Annex. sophomores completed English IL a full -year course that was broken down into smaller sections with different teachers stressing specific areas. Abo1 t every five weeks, ten th graders chose among options that included science fiction. poetry. wri ting skills. and British literature. A large emphasis was placed on grammar, preparing students for the curriculum c hange at the high school next yea r.

"When one engages in the educational process, he can come with armor with crashing cymbals. or with humil~ ity. To me. the last of these choices comes clos~st to conveying the essence of my philosophy: There is nothing more awesome than being given the opportun!ty !o know the feelings, ideas. and aspirations of another human being; and being given the responsibility of guiding that person's life based on my own experiences. reflections, and hopes. In that context, there
is only one way to proceed, and that is to help each individual find his direction and prepare him in the best possible fashion for his path. Students will recall that I was their teacher of English, a subject which is always known for its high degree of ethereal matter: grammar, punctuation. etc.; and yet I would have to say that the study of Englis~ is the key to all knowledge. "'(e don t study words; we study peoples words and people's ideas. Our language was created to allow impersonal communication to preserve the best of man 路s thoughts. Sometimes the difficulty with English, as well as with education in general, is that we must confront our own feelings before we can express them. Relative to the concept that the study of English requires the expression of one's teelings, it is truly the essence of the educational experience.

·· 'Growing on the Job' is one of our last units in Secretarial Studies, preceded, of course, by the application (resume) and job interview. We stress the fact that .. skills," while necessary. are not all-important in the competitive job market. Equally essential are the variables of attitude, personality, adaptability, and initiative to name a few of the promotional assets sought in business today. This topic is always directed toward the young hopefuls with dreams of career success and happiness. The fruition of those dreams is especially heartwarming when students return to school or write letters, telling of their accomplishments: how much harder thev would have worked had they known then what they know now, and how glad they are that we made them learn. Only recently have I reflected on the inverse of this idea-that students have afforded us many opportunities to develop wisdom and to grow in our jobs. Accepting each student as a personal challenge for what he is and where he is on the ladder of academic achievement and/ or skill proficiency, for example, has enabled me to develop a spirit of compassion for each student ·s weaknesses. This is frequently returned with maximum effort in a relaxed atmosphere of understanding and friendship: that rewarding feeling that makes teaching such a gratifying profession. " ·

.. I have been asked to write something that I think students would be interested to know. Perhaps students would be surprised to learn how much they mean to their teachers. A teacher is a human being with values and emotions like anybody else. I find, personally, that I develop a tremendous
attachment to my classes every semester. Unfortunately. teaching seniors, I no sooner get to know a group of students. than they graduate and go their separate ways. Teachers don't grow attached to their students simply because they happen to be students. This attachment occurs because the young people of this community are such a tremendous bunch: Liking them is natural and inevitable. Every year I tell myself that there will never be another group of students as terrific as these, but the following year another great group comes along. This is one of the great joys of teaching in this district and a feeling that is shared by many of my professional colleagues: The students of State College Area High School make teaching a real pleasure."

Every student at State High beI)efited from the opportunities provided by a well-rounded background in social studies. A wide variety of courses. including World Cultures. European and American History. and Problems of Democracy. suited a cross-section of tastes and academic levels. Sophomores were required to take World Cultures. with topics such as Latin America. Europe. Africa. the Soviet Union, Japan. and China covered in nine-week elective units. Many sophomores established independent contracts to research more specific areas than those covered in class lectures. The Annex Resource Center provided a wide range of materials for such investigation. Juniors selected either Advanced Placement American History. taught as a lecture-precept course by Marion Bressler. or two semester-long American History courses that covered the same basic material with less emphasis on his-
torical analysis and critical writing. In the spring. AP students took the Princeton examination. Those receiving scores of three. four, or five on the test qualified for college credit. Though seniors had the broadest variety of courses from which to choose. most spent their final year studying American Government and Economics. What spurred so many seniors to opt these courses? In addition to the essential and pragmatic material to be gained from the classroom discussions. the social studies faculty added unique flavor to these seemingly bland courses. Few seniors will forget Miss Denis "s classroom transformed into a court of law for Economics class. Similarly, Wampsickle stock will remain indellibly etched in the mind of every American Government student. And perhaps most humorous and memorable will be the ongoing war between Mr. Wentz and Mr. Filko, the department "s .. bestest battle buddies ...

Three teachers. Nancy Johnson, Lorrafne Shaffe r, and Bonnie Barry, taught the course load. Classes were small and students were often afforded the opportunity 路 of working individually. In December. the Bettv Crocker scholarship. competition awarded prizes for Family Leaders 0拢 Tomorrow as a result of a written examination.

Driver Education offered its students a chance to secure basic driving principles through both classroom and in-car training. The classroom phase included permit application procedures, the Vehicle Code. and driver safety through filmstrips, lectures, and current events. -, In two _:parts, at the driving range and on the road, novice drivers learned- about -starting, stopping, parallel parking, and turning. The driving simulator was used for the first time this year, marking a new dimension in Driver Ed. at State High. .
Mr. William Hartman
and sincere "Congratulations wishes 'for a successful. happy. and productive life to each member of the class of '76. I hope you will permit music to be part of your路 lives either as consumers, performers. or teachers. Whatever your lot, the benefits to be derived from an onPoing relationship with music can be tremendous. I also hope that as alumni you will always support the music program here at State High so that we can continue to provide broad opportunities for the students who will follow you ... Instrumentalists and vocalists rehearsed, performed, and expanded their understanding of theoretical concepts through State High 路s Music Department. The classes focused on individual performance skills. with students making most of the noise. As the new coordinator, Jim Langton lead a chaotic schedule. In addition to performing administrative duties. he directed A Capp~ la and Sophomore Choirs and taught Music Theory I and IL courses that dealt with note dictation, chords, harmony, and arrangement. Richard Victor, a new faculty member, coordinated not onlv the bands but also Choraliers. o;chestra was supervised by William Hartman. Although the department lacked the facilities necessary for more intense study, it provided fundamental skills. preparing students for further work in the field.
"The best advice that I can give a student contemplating a career in music is to keep searching for new artistic experiences. Every concert, play, dance, or museum that you perform in, or attend, contributes to your understanding of music as an art. Specifically, I would recommend that every musician experience performing both instrumental and vocal music. Thev are mutuallv beneficial in learning man y performing concepts. A small exposure to one can often help you excel in the other. A musician should attend as many live concerts as possible. and with an open mind, actively seek out and listen to all styles of music: from Renaissance and Baroque, through opera and classical music. to current rock and jazz. Additionally. I would encourage all music students to experience acting and dancing, from the viewpoint of both the participant and the spectator. Acting helps develop
solo confidence and is a great way to learn the emotional control needed for sensitive interpretation of music. Classical and modern dance can heighten the musician's awareness of rhythm and style. Lastly, be cognizant of the fact that an artistic experience can involve any of the senses. A musical inspiration may come not only through what is heard, but also through what is seen, touched. smelled. tasted; and, most importantly. what is felt deep inside the artist 路s soul. ..

.. Having reached the twenty-fitth year of my teaching career, this is a good place to stqp for a breather and take not only a glance behind but also a look ahead. I now have the knowledge that the choices I made along the way were correct, and this brings a feeling of deep satisfaction. The realization has arrived that my whole life-family, hobbies and friendsare tied together with one focus: teaching. Trying to sum up the experience of twenty-five years of. individuals is an impossibility, but stating my educational objective is not: Teach the , basic skills so that a person can teach himself. and provide the encouragement and the opportunity for each individual to teach and learn.
.. Prior to entering the teaching profession, I spent ten years working in the justice system. Having worked extensively with the gammut of innovative crime prevention and rehabilitation programs, I have reached the conclusion that an educational system truly dedicated to human development is the most promising modality of crime prevention. My goal as a teacher is to find a way to help each student perceive the total school environment as a learning experience of vital life skills, and feel that he, in his own way, can be a successful and important person. Ali students experience learning difficulties at one point or another. As a resource teacher I try to use special materials, relationship. and success therapy to keep a learning difficulty from being a disability. I would like to see the Resource Room program expanded to provide tutorial aid to more students.
The title .. teacher'' has such special connotations for me. that I treasure it above any other. I expect that the years ahead will be no easier or harder than today. There vvill be an infinite variety of opportunities to be of service to the community. I believe that the more we can give, the more we will receive.. ,
I use the weight training program with some of my boys as part of the overall human development approach . I believe they can gain not only physical development but also a measure of personal discipline and a sense of competition and accomplishment. For myself the sport of power lifting has been a twenty-year commitment. Last year I was second in the nationthis year I'm going to take it all. The message for my students: 'Look, if I can do it, anyone can.' ..

The first day of tenth grade was a mystery. Each sophomore faced students he had never known before. combined with more work and greater expectations than were present in junior high. Challenges prevailed. The major problem became choosing preferences among the many available elixers and performances. In any case. ind ividuality shaped life-styles, and personalities began to develop for each new member of the Medicine Show world. Self-realization typified the year for members of the class of "78. Uncertainty of direction combined with sensitivity to new ideas and values, molding each sophomore into an independent performer in the Medicine Show. As participants, they realized that the simple !ife of State High is evanescent: Each day provided challenges that might never be presented again.

Undoubtedly, the junior class worked the hardest to make the Medicine Show a suc路 cess during the 197.5-76 school year. While sophomores gained vital experience and seniors searched for new arenas in which to perform, the junior class remained the crux of the Medicine Show cast. Perhaps juniors demonstrated overwhelming creativity because of the unlimitied opportunities available within their sector of the Medicine Show. They were confronted not only with specialized and advanced courses but also

with chances for promotion in extracurricular areas. Using both the razzle-dazzle and bulldozer techniques, which were picked up as survival mechanisms during tenth grade, these avid performers worked their way to the top and became featured attractions in their individual specialties. They became accustomed to the patterns of the Medicine Show and were not yet concerned with pre-graduation hysteria. Junior involvement was directed toward school-oriented fucntions and a variety of
outside activities. As students, juniors mastered the art of plowing through school with unfinished assignments. too little sleep, and only minimal enthusiasm. After the :3:15 bell, came jobs, parties and unique projects all over Happy Valley for the students who formed the Medicine Show's powerhouse. No longer amateurs but not quite stars. each member of the Class of 路77 worked to expand his or her ken as an integral performer in the Medicine Show 路s multitude of acts.

At the risk of disappointing all of you. must admit that rock-climbing does not necessarily fulfill the spectacular images your mind creates: epic ascents, hair-breadth escapes. injuries, and death. People are occasionally killed rock-climbing, but these deaths can usually be attributed to utter carelessness. A famous alpinist once said that there are five reasons for climbing mountains: beauty. muscle, risk. adventure, and escape. I think these motives can also be applied to rock-climbing. There is great beauty in the stark lines of rock and the smooth flow of movement from hold to hold. The muscle, though often physical too, is largely psychological in nature. There is an exhilaration in having nothing separating you from the air but a tiny crystal. yet being in perfect control and knowing the crystal is enough. There is adventure, but it is mostly in your mind. Let me assu re you, however, that that makes it no less realistic. Most of all, perhaps, there is escape. You leave the mainstream of humanity with your very first step off the ground. You can analyze something like this endlessly: however. and in the final result have nothing. Why rock-climb? Because it is fun ."

Kelley Ruppel: An inward glance
'"Self-expression: some sing, some dance, some create art, and others write. To me, poetry is expression: a way of putting into words a person's most intimate feelings and thoughts. To be able to write about a subject and have people sense your meaning is a great feeling. I write because it is part of me. I express my sorrows and joys so that others can actually feel the same way I do. Poetry can be beautiful if it is viewed in the proper perspective. Poetry can take the total you and break down your emotions, permitting you to share them with others."

Teachers and students at State High often must look twice to realize they are not reading or seeing double. Glancing down a class roster, two Susan E. Baker's are to be found in the class of '77, and sharing the same designation in the class of '76 are a pair of Susan Cole's and a pair of Deb Witmer's. Seeing double is an even more common occurrence. In the junior class, Jeff and Steve Rohrbeck can be found together. The senior cl;:tss supports a regular cast of look-alikes. Inclusive among the illustrious pairs are sailors Carol and Mary Park; Greg and Mike Henderson, sons of State High math teacher Mrs. Annalee Henderson; the Boyers, Brent and Brook, whose names and faces are almost exactly alike; along with the Busovnes, Phil and Paul. The list is topped off by the identical images of Karl and Mike Derrick, and Dan and Dave Reed. If we've omitted any set of doubles, please

Without the Pennsvlvania State University there would probably be no town of State College, no State College High, and not much more than farmland and a long bus ride to Bellefonte High every morning. No history of State College would be complete without a history of the University because the story of PSU is the storv of our town. Little State College history exists that is not integrally related to the campus. The founding of the Pennsylvania Farmer's High School in 1855 marked the beginning of a new type of higher education. Most existing colleges were primarily geared to the development of learned gentlemen and professionals. Pennsylvania farmers were searching for an institution that would give men a practical education: a training in literature, science, and agriculture. In 1854 work toward the Farmer's High School began. Problems with building, financing, and attracting students faced the first Board of

Trustees. The site for the school was chosen on land donated by James Irwin of Bellefonte. Centre County residents raised money, which combined with donations and state funds to construct the first buildings. Sixty-nine students attended on February 16, 1859, the first day of the first term. Only one wing of the building that we now call Old Main was completed. Students were furnished with only the bare essentials. Four men comprised the first faculty with William G. Waring acting head of the "High School.·· Although the name was deceiving, the school supplied collegiate-level instruction by today ·s standards. Dr. Evan Pugh arrived from England, accepting the challenge of setting the Farmer ·s High School uppn its feet as its first President. One of Pugh ·s major accomplishments was the designation of the

college as the state ·s land grant college under the newlv enacted Morrill Act. This law provided the school with much-needed federal funds. Despite a shortage of money. labor. and materials during the Civil War. Pugh and his trustees saw the comp1etion of the first campus building in 1863. For over thirty years Old Main was the center for all campus activities. Contained within its limestone walls were a chapel. a library. lecture and ··recitation.. rooms. laboratories. an infirmary. eating facilities, and dorms for four hundred students. Old Main housed everything except the livestock, and sometimes even animals were included when students pulled pranks such as maneuvering a mule into the bell tower. Students were compelled to obey military strictness. Rising at 5:00 a.m., thev were not allowed to miss class. In addition. thev had to labor on the farm for three hours evervday.

After Pugh ·s death. a succession of seven Presidents in eighteen years added small changes to the college and their names to the expanding streets of the college tov.rn but failed to solve the schoors major dilemma: expansion within the original framework of the Farmer ·s High School.

Jack's Road House. which was opened to accommodate the school's constructors. became the State College Hotel , and other businesses sprang up in the vicinity. The town was also "State College... and the name remained even after Penn State became a universitv in 1953. While Pennsylvania's po'pulation grew by 4% in the past ten years, State College Borough grew by 50%. Patton Township expanded by 83%, and the Village of Lemont became 120% more populous in the same period of time. In the same ten-year period, many innovations have been added to the Universitv and to State College. Penn Stat~ built new Animal Sciences and Arts facilities in ad, tion to the new auditorium, soccer field. and intramural building. A conglomeration of new businesses rapidly filled the Nittany Mall. Hills Plaza. and the Fraser Street mini-mall. While the market was satiated bv these novel businesses, services ~ere provided fo r area residents. The construction of Mountainview Hospi tal. one prime example, moved medical services fo r the countv out of Bellefonte. the countv s~at. To coordinate. the expan-ding sphere of the State College area. a home rule charter was adopted in the 1972 election. State College and its suburbs were our world.
