l/ David J. Emerich

We, the Class of 1971, dedicate this yearbook to Mr. David J.

Emerich, a most talented person in both the Math and Science fields.
He was always there to help us and tried to make us think.
Mr. Emerich came to Patton in our sophomore year, from his home
in Hershey. He graduated from Millersville State College with his B.S.
degree, and received his M.S. degree from Temple University. Mr.
Emerich is a member of the Lebanon Lodge No. 226 of Free and
Accepted Masons.
Mr. Emerich married Irene Mellinger, who is also a teacher. They
have three sons. David J. Emerich Jr., the oldest, is a Chief Warrant
Officer in the U.S. Army; Richard H. Emerich works for General
Motors and is the Supervisor at the Wilmington, Del. Branch, and
George W. Emerich, the youngest, is a teacher and coach at the
Central Dauphin High School in Harrisburg.
,
We, the Class of 1971, would like to wish Mr. Emerich a long and
prosperous future, and thank him for all that he has taught us.

.. . Founder
Thomas Ranken Patton

The Thomas Ranken Patton Masonic Institution for Boys was estab­
lished in 1925. It was made possible by the will of Thomas Ranken
Patton who directed that, as a memorial to his only son Thomas
Graham Patton, a portion of his estate should be used for the "estab­
lishment and maintenance of an institution for the support and educa­
tion of male orphan children of Master Masons, who were at the time
of their decease members in good standing in some subordinate Lodge
under the jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania." If there
are any vacancies, the Trustees may admit any other male orphan whose
father or mother is deceased if he is deemed worthy.

The purpose of the school is to give each boy a thorough high school
course, either academic or vocational. Thcre are three vocational
courses, namely carpentry, electronics, and machine shop.

The school year parallels that of the public high school in that boys
I are in attendance for a 190 day school year. The boys live at the
school which has dormitory and dining room facilities.

The moral, academic, and vocational training are all given adequate
emphasis. Each boy, when admitted, designates the religious denomi·
nation of his choice and is, thereafter, expected to attend services
regularly at a nearby church during his stay at the school.

Mr. Patton's will states that all the boys must be regularly and
faithfully taught the sacred truths of the Bible.

 · . . The Superintendent

Dr. and Mrs. John W. Kopp

".

Dr. and Mrs. Kapp have been with the Patton School for five years.
They are a splendid influence for good upon the Patton Program. Dr.
Kopp will always be remembered for the excellent work he did for the
evaluation and approval of the Patton School by the Middle States
Association. Our school has developed and improved under his
leadership.

Dr. and Mrs. Kapp have two children. John, a graduate of Albright
College, is employed by the Carpenter Steel Company in Reading, and
Sandra is employed by the Western Electric Company in Reading.
Mrs. Kopp is a graduate of Kutztown College and was an elementary ,.
teacher prior to coming to Patton.

We, the Class of 1971, wish to thank Dr. and Mrs. Kopp for being
so he1pul and understanding with us. We express our sincere apprecia­
tion to them for the marked influence they have made upon us.

A diploma, a cap, and a gown. Symbols of our graduation. Remind­

ers of that very important day of our lives.
As we, the Class of 1971 leave the Patton scene, we take with us
many friendships and memories. To us, these memories seem destined
to never fade. OUf stay at Patton was a new and different experience
for all of us.
We wish to express our sincere thanks to Dr. and Mrs. Kopp for
all their help during our stay at Patton, and to especially thank the
Board of Trustees, the Faculty and Masonic organizations who have
made Patton what it is today.

Charles Brecht /
Senior Class President

The Alma Mater ...

0, what is this which morning sunlight
Gilds with golden beams?
'Tis our own Patton School for Boys,
Castle of our dreams.

Chorus:
Oh, raise the chorus, keep it ringing.
Loud her praises tell,
All hail to thee, beloved Patton,
Hail to thee, all hail.
Eager faces bright and joyous,

We sing this joyous lay-Chorus.

 Class History 1971 ...

August 27, 1967, we began a difficult pattern of life at Patton SchooL
We had four long years ahead of us and we all waited for June 5, 1971
•
to come.

During the first weeks we became acquainted with the faculty. After
getting acquainted, the year passed quickly.

The next two years at Patton went rapidly. Our class members
participated in all the activities they could. Some of the activities con­
sisted of football, baseball, basketball, Hi-Y, DeMolay, and music
groups.

Some educational trips we took were to New York City, Washington,

D.C., Carpenter Steel in Reading, Gettysburg Battlefield, United States
Naval Academy at Annapolis, and Harrisburg Capital. They were very
interesting, and we enjoyed them.

Then the year came that we all were waiting for, our senior year.
This brought more responsibilities and more privileges. Now the four
years at Patton are our history. We thank Patton Masonic School for
the education it gave us. We feel that we are ready to face the future.

 What Patton Means To Me

As I look back, the last three years of my life seem to have gone
by all too quickly. They are the ones I've spent at Patton, living and
learning.

I can remember that during the first few weeks I was at Patton I
thought differently. I couldn't see how I would ever make it through
three years at this new place or what good it would do me. It didn't
take very long for me to find out.

Patton has taught me to get along with other people and to respect
the rights of others. To live in society, you must get along with /
other people.

I also matured scholastically under the superV1SlOn of the school's

faculty. Since the classes were small, there was more individual help
and a better understanding between teacher and student.

Because I was away from home, Patton gave me the chance to

make decisions on my own and to prepare myself for the future. I
think this is very important because, until a person learns to have
confidence in himself, he must always depend on someone else to
help him.

Time will pass and I'll leave Patton, but the memories will always
remain with me. It would be hard to say in how many different ways
Patton has helped me, but most of all it has prepared me for the life
ahead so that I might take my place in society. I'll do the best to make
the most of every opportunity that was given me.

I would like to thank Dr. and Mrs. Kopp for all their help during
my stay, and especially the faculty, the Board of Trustees, and the
Freemasons of Pennsylvania who have given me this wonderful chance
to be a part of Patton.

visor, Mr. Robert Todd who supplies us with interesting talks and
discussions on a variety of subjects. Hi-Y is a great way to become
more informed with the world and people around us.

Many of the students have experienced trips with the Hi-Y. The
"Globetrotters" at Hershey was one of the highlights of the year.

At Patton, students compete by matching one's archery ability
against someone else's.

During the year they compete in tournaments located at one of the

following field ranges: Big Buck, Big Chiques, Columbia Fish and
Game, Ephrata, and Fox Harbor.

Our courageous sponsor Mr. Todd, being the only person who
',I
would dare shoot with us, instructs us on the use of the bow and
supplies us with many pointers. Our thanks to Mr. Todd, for without
his help there would not be an Archery Club.

Several of the club members enjoyed hunting for deer with their
bow and arrows. No report of success in bringing in a deer was
registered.

Blue Beret
Fighting boys of the Patton School
/
Youth who live by the Golden Rule
Boys who mean just what they say
The brave lads of the Blue Beret.
Trained to serve and reach the crest
These are youth, Thomas Patton's best
Many true lads we'll test each day
Not all will earn the Blue Beret.
Trained to live by the Golden Rule
To study and work at the Patton School
Youth who plan for another day
Courage taken from the Blue Beret
Varsity youth who do their best
These are lads, Thomas Patton's best
Letters and awards are earned each day
But only a few earn the Blue Beret.
