THE RECORD BOOK of 1948

Published by the Graduating Class of the Friends' Central School Overbrook Pennsylvania


PAGE 4


FOREWORD The Class of 1948 assembled gradually. Some of us came together twelve or thirteen years ago in kindergarten or first grade : others joined our ranks through the years . All became a loyal part of our student body. Now we are leaving Friends ' Central for good, except, perhaps, for occasional visits to the old Alma Mater. As Old Grads we will see those still in attendance here at F .C.S. and envy them . On our visits back here we will turn to one another and say, " Remember the time .... ?" These are the memories we will carry through life. We are grateful to those who have made these memories possible-our parents, our teachers, and our friends. This yearbook represents our last efforts as a class. We are about to be parted and scattered everywhere ; but when , in later years, we look

at this record ot our school-life together, perhaps our memories will unite us and we will again be classmates.

DEDICATION We, the graduating class of l 948 , are proud to dedicate our yearbook to the man who, we believe, has done the most for us all, as a class, and as individuals. Always our loyal friend and adviser, he is especially in evidence straightening out those difficulties that seniors can't seem to avoid. Whether reprimanding, instructing, praising, or joking, he is still our best friend and is respected and admired by us all. Not a day goes by when someone does not turn to him with a question or problem and he is always ready and willing to help. We are sure we express the sentiment of the whole class when we dedidate this book to:

History

'Way 'way back in the good old days, 1935 to be exact, when li[e was "full of fun anci fancy free," five lighthearted pioneers, Ruth Trumper, who called her orange juice "jugo de naranjas"; Virginia Keim, Tom Thumb's steady; Jerry, a little darling; Bob Nicholson, who came through lack o( something better to do; and Peg McCann, already showing her love for green, scribbled the first pages of our class history. Leafing our way through Chapter I, we sec a small community of blocks. It seems that Bill Shmidheiser began his training in Student Government here but had quite a time convincing Jack Banks that throwing erasers just wasn't done. (Jack insisted that this helped his pitching.) However, Jack Barnard (yes, he was cute then, too, Anne) and Rodney Cook, who had learned to walk leaning on a soccer ball, were a perfect example of brotherly love. At this time two big hair ribbons Outtered in, anchored by Phyllis Turner and Marianne Colville (her favorite class is lunch). Phyllis later bought a dachshund to protect her (rail frame when she moved to the wilderness. In the meantime, poor Tom Linton seemed lost without "Nancy with the Laughing Face." Chapter II presented the tribe (we were Indians then) with two new members. One was Lois Ross, a vain squaw who was always fiddling with her hair. The other, a brave named Harry Kaufmann, persisted in pounding all the littl e second graders over the head with his ping pong paddle. Chapters III-VI each have one lone representative in 1948's graduating class. Third grade saw Jack Buckley enter, eager to demonstrate his wrestling holds on his classmates, who were all quite smaller than Jack. Buckley finally had someone his size to cope with, when in fourth grade Bill Pfeffer, determined to be Friends' Central's football captain someclay, came in with his muscles bulging out of his Brookline sweater. House friends seemed to be in vogue in Chapters V and VI. Friends'

Central students "were in the know" in the horse world, thanks to Patsy Richmond and Caroline Hunter, who came galloping in on their broncos in grade five and six, respectively. The seventh chapter. brought us Bill \Vest, who even then was perfecting the "cliny look," while Jo Herring (with a peek-a-boo bang) came to us from the "wilds" of Lansdowne. Ginny Rauch(uss paid us a second visit after an in tcrval of four years, and staked her claim as a permanent member of our class. Charlie Sheldrake, famous for his annual trips to Florida and resulting sun tans, joined us along with Clara Lacas who su[ercd ink clipped curls for the next two years, although the teachers tried hard to sa,·e one of their pupils (rom this inevitable fate. Carolyn Gerson, future J\LD., arrived with Collie hairs on her coat, and from that day on has been known as a great dog enthusiast. ·Marguerite Ridge, who hopped in with a book under her arm, came to be Mr. Harvey's regular stand in, and we think made a super teacher. Toast Minster at this time entered the grade ahead of us and took five years to make up his mind whether he wanted to graduate with the class of '47 or the class of '48. \ Vith a pained expression of bewilderment, Barbara Heilman, already anticipating Gloria's future troubles, rushed into chapter VIII. Then "Sis-see-you-at-the-hall-tonight," Minster and Sue Veit, (we can't understand why she gets on the train at Villanova when she lives in St. Davids) also became a part of our circle of characters. Haverford Junior High unwillingly gave up two of its valuable personalities so that we might prosper under the four term reign of 1\fary Beth Griffith, our always ailing athlete, and whistle at Jane Minter's pinup girls, (but mostly at Jane, herself). Then George, Buenos dias, Eavenson thumbed his way into our ranks. Gloria Swope strolled in in Chapter IX and set the class on fire, while Ted Reinke somehow managed to tear himself away from


Springfield to join our happy clan, which waltzed through the year accompanied by the long low whistle of Jim Quinn and the added glamor of a dancing class. Hildegarde Laier stepped out of "Vogue" into our midst, and Bill Muntz uncurled his long frame to "Stuff" himself in with his famous jokes. A host of new additions squeezed in to Chapter X and made their way to Eva Sack's to enjoy one of her super parties. The first merrymaker to arrive was our little blonde bundle of energy, Jodie Chance. She was followed by that mad artist, Tony Giordano, who was looking for a nice quiet "Laier." In one corner we found Bill "Heartthrob" Stotz of the raven locks, and across the room Nancy '1\Tarwick stopped her knitting long enough to enlarge her vocabulary in conversation with Margot Newman, the walking (she's ne,·er been known to run) dictionary. In the meantime Bill Hoover created a small vacuum and Concla Sosangelis introduced us to the Greek point of view. "Big Ben" Strawbridge, the cave man, appeared at this time with Bill Stevens, who preferred socialized medicine to the "Soph Hop." The eleventh chapter was a bright one. Norman McAvoy led the parade off flashing his Pepsoclent smile all over the 68th and City Line campus, followed by the impeccably dressed Rodgers Bressi whose eyes were continually looking back on the sophomore girls. Betsy Ulrich was soon snooping around the school buildings with her trigger finger itching to snap her camera shutter on an interesting scene. Louise i\Ioore was prattling on about her philosophical view points, com paring Plato with Kant. Nancy Harscheid just listened with a dreamy look in her eyes . . . her thoughts fluctuating a certain Student Council president and a trip to ~Iexico. Bob Goodman was flashing his huge Marple-Newtown ping-pong letters around, as Milt Doherty arrived fresh from Fort Union, Virginia, where in his haste he had left his drawl behind. Read Schaeffer tripped in over one of his latest scientific inventions, and Barney Brause entered the front door with a copy of Shakespeare in one hand and a comic book in the

other. Anne (yes, it's genuine blond) Harris and Mary "Oh, for Pete's sake" Galbraith giggled their way into our happy throng along with Eleanor Kline, who came on the crest of a big wave from Ocean City. Although it always took Dialah Hinkle quite awhile to get to school, she always arrived for the last five minutes of the first class. On the other hand, Pat Gibbon (our gal from 'wayout thar) managed to clash in just in time to buy her art history pictures. The twelfth and last chapter in our history is the largest one, contributing no less than 16 personalities. The Big Five from Lansdowne were the first ones on the scene, headed by president Chalky Vhight and vicepresident Mickey Greenwood, with membersat-large "Push 'em up" Lazare Kirificles, Reese DeHaven, our photogenic blond, and Barry Reimenschneider, the general all-around man. Milt Keene came in next and immediately found Friends' Central to his liking, thanks to a very cute cheer leader. Two former cadets from Valley Forge, Paul Tarcllo and Jack Wilson marched in feeling practically naked without their old uniforms on, while Jim "Killjoy" Killgore, whose flirtatious tactics were renowned all over the eastern U. S., and Larry Himmelstein, the boy who introduced the word "rallacy" to Mrs. Benner, trudged in from Darby. Ken Webtser just about made it: his '31 F orcl con king out at the top of the (ron t drive; Bill Prichard was carried up the front steps after a weary trip from Newtown Square; and bringing up the rear were the two old faithfuls, Sam Boswell, and "Lefty" Laufer. Sam was meditating over his latest entry in the "I don't like Lansdowne boys because--" contest, while Laufer had his contented look on, stating, "I've never been known to hurry yet." Persia exported a small package of dynamite which exploded in the form of Katherine Goukassoff. Shirley Tuska, a P. T. C. stockholder, was the other feminine addition to our concluding volume. Well, that just about winds things up, except for the fact that we'll probably still be paying for our senior prom during the next few years. But it's all been loads of fun and a great experience.

Senior Class Officers "QUIET!"-the complete vocabulary necessary for the senior class presidents, l\Iary Beth Griffith and Bill Pfeffer, quickly and easily became the symbol of the 1948 senior class meetings. It was certainly no easy job to hold such a vivacious class in check. However, Mary Beth, ha\·ing been president of the girls' class for four straight years, had become used to it by now. The presidents were on the job so much that the vice-presidents, Hildegarde Laier and Jack Barnard, had little to do, but they were always in back of the presidents, making suggestions and lending a helping hand. Secretaries ~Iarianne Colville and Tony Giordano spent a lot of time preparing exciting and vivid accounts of boring class meetings besides writing thousands of invitations to the lucky chaperones of our dances. Nancy Harscheid and Jack Buckley, class treasurers, had a real job on their hands this year. Besides collecting class clues, the treasurers had to work out budgets with the yearbook staff. The officers worked together efficiently and effectively, and mu ch of the credit for the success of the class activities should go to these able students.

Junior Class The class of '49 is still a little surprised at how important we have become all of a sudden. Emily Jon es has b een made not only president of the Student Council, but also captain of nex t yea r 's hockey tea m. Bill Platt, who used to pull girls' hair (and still does), is now captain-elect of the '48-'49 football team. Rex Thomas is the newly chosen head of the Service Committee. vVe're going places in more ways th a n one. Althou gh Connie Gay! 1s our only exchange student to l\Iexico, Kendall Kurtz is going to Zurich , Switzerland, for a year to study German. Other class activities include: visiting the United Nations General Assembly a t Flushing Meadow; sending Mary Gibbon , Emily .Jones, Ivan Gabel, Nancy Kelley, and Ginny Gwynn to the Buck Hill Falls Conference; and worrying over, discussing, and looking forward to the .Junior Prom.

Sophomore Class As our class is resting on the top of one of the foothills near the mountain of success, we'd like to look back at some of the boulders we climbed over on the hill of 1947-48. It was a stiff climb, but we all made it. Our group has gained three new pupils, Dorothy Jablow, Bill Kurtz, and Ruth Kogan who comes from Persia. Sandy Miller and \Vinky Ostroff were absent for awhile, one in England and the other in lexica. Also our extra-curricular activities picked up considerably. This fall Ronnie R elick played Varsity football while Alan Trumper did a swell job managing the team. Harry Cowell, Bob Snyder, and Carleton Steins all gained positions on the Varsity soccer squad while Johnny Trumper and Dick Doherty represented us on the second team. Second team Varsity hockey letters were awarded to: Nancy Borneman, Cynie Linton, Sand y Miller, Babs Zimmerman, and Anne Dufour. Aside from sports we have Cynie Linton and Ruth Kogan as Service Committee members, while Sandy Clark, Johnny Trumper, Carleton Steins, Sandy Miller, Sue Poggenburg, and Anne McAvoy are the Student Council representatives. The News has become practically a class project with Harry Co~ell as the new Editor-in-Chief and Johnny Trumper, Carleton Steins, and Bill Kurtz in leading positions. Last of all we'd like to thank the class presidents, Arianne Scholz and Sandy Clark, and the other officials, for doing so well. We 've had a good time this year and are determined to do more at and for Friends' Central next year.


Freshman Class We are the class that the school can't do with and can't do without. You'll find us popping up everywhere. In sports we can boast four girls making the Varsity hockey squad. Three of them, Molly Jones, Charis Gilbert, and Shirley Smith, made the first team. And the boys were not to be outdone; for the 120 pound team completed their undefeated season with Paul James, Jesse Darlington, Dick Heilman, and Dick McFeely chalking up the winning points. In November the girls threw a gala square dance featuring a professional caller. Genuine Darlin,gton hay created a barn-like atmosphere, and everybody, including the faculty, had a super time. In the Community Chest drive we were the firsr class to reach its quota and our contribution was the second biggest in the school. This Christmas the class sent a scrapbook and other gifts to the Chinese orphan we adopted last year. The theme of the scrapbook was "America" and each member of the class contributed a page to it. The girls also took an active interest in the chorus and helped with several programs. So here's the class of '51, and may they keep on turning up.

PAGE 56


Eighth Grade This fall proved itself to be a good sports season for the eighth grade. Eleven girls played on the Midget hockey team which won three out of the five games it played. Now all the girls are working hard to make their basketball team. Not to be outdone, the boys had a successful football season. Four brave fellows, Fred Boccelli, Lalo Hermosillo, Pat Hudock, and Irvin Clark, tried out for and made the 120 pound team. Two boys represented us on the twelve year old soccer team and Tommy Linton on the Junior Varsity soccer team. Now the boys are also trying out for their basketball team, and two boys have made very high scores in bowling. During the Christmas vacation there were several parties which were gay occasions with lots of eating and dancing. Fred Boccelli, Jackie Watkins, and Jackie Kervorkian , three lucky people, went to Florida and came back with a "new look." Back at school, we are now looking forward to the girls' class party.

Seventh Grade This year the seventh grade has been studying the history of Europe, Asia Minor, and Latin America. In math we studied mainly per cents, and in English we had a large dose of grammar and read Bob, Son of Battle. During the Christm as vacation, we saw the movie, "Thunder in the Valley." In December, we also had a Christmas party with donated refreshments of candy, ice cream, popcorn, and what one might call punch. Our homeroom was decorated with red and green; and Santa Claus, with a gift for all, paid us a visit. On January 30 we gave the "Snowball Skate" for the Junior High. In spite of the fact that the juke box ran down and the "coke" froze , we all had a good time. Mr. Harvey later named the party the "Sardine Skate" because of the eighty people there. \1\Te had a good sports season. In the fall the girls' Midget hockey team won

four out of five games. In football the 120 pounders were undefeated, while the 105 pound team was victorious over Haverford and Chestnut Hill. Thus our year in room 31, amidst maps and graphs, was a happy and successfu l one.

Soccer

PAGE 60

1947 was supposed to be Friends' Central's year in soccer-and it was. Coach E. Leslie Nicholson, in his twentieth season as Blue and Gray soccer mentor, boasted a veteran squad of 13 previous letter winners, eight of whom had gone from first to twelfth grades at 68th and City Line. So hopes were high for capturing the Interacademic League soccer pennant, a possession which Friends' Central had never held in the history of the school. The team lived up to advance notices. The Blue and Gray bowled over six stra ight Interac foes without the loss of a single game and with the remarkable record of only one goal scored by the opposition. At long last, Friends' Central had won a soccer championship. All told, the champs were victorious in ten games, four of which were nonleague contests, and were defeated three times, all by outside teams. Perhaps the most memorable game was that with Haverford School, defending champions and team that edged out F. C. for league honors in 1946. A gruelling affair which required two overtime periods for completing, the game was not decided until after an hour and eight minutes had been played, when outside right Bill Muntz tallied to give the Nicholsonmen a well-earned l-0 triumph and the championship. The leadership of Rodney Cook, captain and fullback, played an important role in the championship drive. The combination formed by Cook, goalie Jack Barnard and fullback Jack Buckley was one of the most potent backfields in league history. The center of the team was well fortified with center-halfback Bobby Nicholson and center-forward .Jerry Darlington doing exceptional work. Scoring honors went to Darlington with ".Jake" Trautwein, only junior member and outside left, runner-up. The remainder of the first eleven consisted of: halfbacks, Tom Linton and .Jack Banks; insides Bill Shmidheiser and Harry Kaufmann; and outside Bill Muntz. Substitutes who received varsity letters were: Mickey Greenwood, Bill Stevens, Steve Ritt, Bob Snyder, Carleton Steins, and Harry Cowell. Individual honors were numerous. Bob Nicholson was selected on the AllInteracademic and All-Philadelphia elevens. Also on the All-Interac team were Darlington, Buckley and Muntz. Barnard and Cook were picked on the second team.

Football The log o[ the 1947 Friends' Central football team, captained by Bill Pfeffer, and coached by Frank Fitts, Frank Groff, and Vic Lindskog, shows two wins, two ties, and three losses. The F. C. eleve n finished in a second place tie with Haverford School in the Interac League, b ehind the title-winning Episcopal. The Blue and Gray opened its season by tying West Nottingham Academy, 0-0. Losses to Bryn Athyn, 33-14, and Episcopal, 14-7, followed before the team came around in their second league game and tied Haverford School 12-12. The first victory of th e season came over Germantown Academy, 20-0, and the second over vVilliamson Trade School, 19-6. The season ended with a close defeat by Upper l\Jerion, 6-0. Although the record of wins and losses is not impressive, th e boys, many of them pla)ing together for the first tim e, showed a lot of spirit. Captain Pfeffer, F. C. star center, and quarterback John Minster earned positions on the All-Interacademic League first team; and end Sam Boswell , tackles Milt Kee ne, and Bob Lauffer, guard Larry Himmelstein, and halfback Rodgers Bressi made the second team.

Girls' Varsity Hoclzey The 1948 Girls' Varsity hockey team met seven of the toughest opponents a Friends' Central team has ever faced and came off the field at the end of the season with a record of one win , four defeats, and two tics. The victory came over Stevens School, 4-2, a team which had beaten several of the squads that F.C.S. had lost to earlier in the season. The Girls' eleven also tied W esttown and Shipley and was defeated by Friends' Select, Agnes Irwin, a potent Baldwin team , and unbeaten Sacred Heart. Coach 'Liza Blackburn 's team was riddled with injuries at the beginning of the season. At one point, eight first team members were on the sidelines but always managed to hobble onto the field on game days. This situation resulted in the shifting of the line-up at practically every game. Marianne Colville, left inner, led the team in scoring this year as she rolled up 5 goals against seven opponents; while Peg· McCann, captain, and Nancy Warwick stood out on rhe defense. l\fcCann made the All-Main Line team for the third straight year; and Colville, Turner, right wing, and ',Yarwick, right fullback, gained berths on the second string. Other lellermen include: seniors, Eleanor Kline, Mary Beth Griffith , Barbara Heilman, .Josephine Herring, Virginia Keim, Lois Ross, Sister Minster, Hildegarde Laier, manager; juniors, Emily .Jones, Captain-elect, Frances Fitts, Marjorie Davis; freshmen , Shirley Smith, Molly .Jones, Charis Gilbert.

Girls Basl~etball Although only two lettermen, i\Iary Beth Griffith, captain, and Nancy Warwick, returned from the '47 sextet, coach 'Liza Blackburn was able to whip up a short, fast, and scrappy team for the '48 season. The girls came through with a fair share of victories and defeats having won three, lost [our, and tied one. Making up the team were Marianne Colville, Phyllis Turner, and Nancy w·arwick at forward positions and Pat Gibbon, Frances Fitts, Eleanor Kline, l\Iarjorie Lang, and Peggy McCann as guards.

Hildegarde Laier did an excel-

lent job as the team 's manager. Despite the fact that all of F.C.'s opponents had an advantage of height over the Blue and Gray, the aggressiveness of the F.C. guards and the accurate shooting of the forwards were enough in many instances to overcome this handicap.

Boys' Basl<etball The F.C. '47-'48 basketball season produced varied results as Coach Frank Fitts' team chalked up a record of 9 wins and ll losses.

Captained by Toasty

Minster, the Blue and Gray placed fourth in the lnteracademic League Championship race which was finally won by Penn Charter. Highlights of the season were two thrilling contests with Episcopal Academy, a holding of Germantown Academy scoreless [or two and one-half periods, and for a climax, a victory over an all-star alumni team. Jack Barnard, F.C. high scorer, was selected on the Coaches' All-Interac first team, while Bill Pfeffer received second team honors.


Bowl1ng The high spot of the 1948 bowling season came on March 13, at the Third Annual Philadelphia District Boys High School Bowling Championship. The Friends' Central team competing in th e Class "B" (or handicap) division carried away first honors by bea ting 23 other teams. The members of the winning team are: Bill Hoover, Jack W'ilson, Todd Merner, Gilbert Wiese, Dick Doherty, Jack Lamb, and Gardner Hendrie. During the regular season the Varsity competed in five matches, winning the first and last and losing the middle three. The V::trsity team members are: Bill Muntz, captain, Bob Nicholson, Tom Linton, Irv Clark, and Dick Atkinson. The girls' Varsity had a successful season defeating Overbrook, Simon Gratz, and Harcum Junior College while losing their first match to a strong Olney quintet and also dropping a close struggle with Roxborough. The Junior Varsity's only victory in five matches was over Roxborough . The Varsity bowlers are: P eggy McCann, Dee Hinkle, Eva Sack, Pat Richmond, Ann Harris, and Betty Lat1. Seniors on the Junior Varsity are Jody Chance and Carolyn Gerson.

Tracl~ This year Mr. Fitts had a small inexperienced track sguad. Bill Stotz, a sprinter for the last two years, and two distance men, Jim Quinn and Barney Brause, were the only returning lettermen. However, Mr. Fitts always makes the best of his material and this year was no exception.

Since 1946 they have endeavored to raise the spitit of the student body and encourage the team wwards a successful season by cheering at every game. The new cheerleaders chosen last .January were: Eleanor Kline, '48, Nancy Warwick, '48, Gita Perry, '49, and Ginny Gwynn, '49. These girls introduced a new cheer, "Victory" which added variety to the pep rallies. l\Iany a Thursday afternoon was spent in preparation for those Friday morning rallies which featured several cheers and a few words from t·e am members or coaches.

Girls' A A The Girls' Athletic Association, under the leadership of its faculty adviser, 'Lisa Blackburn, and its officers Marianne Colville, president, Frances Fitts, vice-president, and Sandra Miller, secretary, held the largest Girls' Athletic Banquet in the history of the organization. At that time, the Association awarded numerous letters to members of the various teams but unfortunately was unable to give the Blazer Award since no junior or senior

Boys' AA The Boys' A-thletic Association, made up of representatives from all the classes in the Upper School, has worked on the awarding of letters for the different sports at the close of each season. One of the most important steps taken by the association in J 948 was the changing of the Father and Son Banquet to a "GetTogether" with refreshments, movies, and speakers, but no banquet because of the high prices.

Student Council This February seniors Bill Shmidheiser and Bill Muntz handed over the leading offices of the Student Council to Emily .Jones and Ivan Gabel. Throughout the year most of the Council's work was carried out by the following committees: The Safety Committee, with Harry Cowell as chairman, saw that the school called the required number of fire drills, re-organized the fire drill routes, and put up new signs. The committee also repainted the white lin e b etween the Upper School and the gym. It was the task of the Recreation Room Committee, under Read Schaefier, w arrange for cleaning and decorating the Rec Room and to keep order there. The Lost and Found Committee under Marguerite Ridge is perhaps the most important committee to those who arc always losing their belongings. A Lost and Found auction was held last spring and the remaining articles were given to the American Friends' Service Committee. Pat Gibbon 's Refreshment Committee is the Council's chief source of revenue because of its refreshment sales at games and on Field Day. Through representatives to the Inter-Academic Student Council the F. C. Council hopes that relations with other schools have been bettered. The Council also sponsored two dances and paid off all the money owing on the juke-box. Thereby they were enabled to lower the rental on the box from eight to five dollars.

Service Committee This year the Service Committee feels that it has been successful in gaining the whole-hearted support of the student body. One of the main accomplishments of the committe was the sending of Christmas packages to our affiliated school in Arnhem, Holland. The student body sent over 200 packages to Holland during a drive lasting only two weeks. Next on the year's agenda was the Community Chest Drive. The school exceeded by 6% the goal of $800 set for students and faculty. The Service Committee took a trip under the auspices of the Red Feather Drive, to see some of the places where the money was going to be used. The representatives then reported to their homerooms. Five Service Committee representatives went to Baltimore Friends' 10 November to see their County Fair. The committee is considering organizing a County Fair at Friends' Central.

Friends' Central News It was no raw, inexperienced gpoup that took over the News last January. Editor-in-chief Mary Beth Griffith had been working on the paper since tenth grade, as girls' sports editor and later, unofficially, as editor. According to Mrs. Woerner, Mary Beth is one of the most enterprising editors the News has ever had. Gloria Swope, Managing Editor and ear writer extraordinary, was also an old hand. Boys' Sports Editor Jack Banks, another experienced newshou nd, started working on the News in seventh grade. Jack's column, "Along the Sidelines," has long been a popular feature of the sports page. Marianne Colville, "the gal who thinks in headlines," became the new Girls' Sports Editor, while Josephine Herring took over "After Dark" and Barbara Heilman was named Feature Editor. Newcomer Betsy Ulrich was soon put to work snapping pictures and handing out exchanges. Marguerite Ridge, who had heretofore managed to keep out of the masthead, suddenly found herself the "worth-her-weight-in-gold" Rewrite Editor. Last fall, two more seniors joined the staff, Reese DeHaven and Jerry Darlington. Then some lower classmen began to appear. Nancy Kelley, an electrotype in one hand and a contract in the other stepped into the position of Business Manager, while Ginny Gwynn took over Alumni News. As faculty adviser and general overseer, Mrs. vVoerner, "without whom this paper couldn't have been written" was always ready to assist the harried staff. The News is proud to possess two certificates: the first for winning second place in the Temple Press Tournament with 13 points, 12 of which were amassed by Marguerite Ridge for winning the copy-reading contest and one by Bill Stevens for receiving honorable mention in the news writing contest; the second certificate was for receiving a Lehigh Press Conference award.

Blue and Gray The editoria l staff of the Blue and Gmy worked hard to effect some physical changes in the magazine for the purpose of arousing student interest and participation_ For the wood-cut illustrations they substituted line cuts which provide a mu ch wider fi eld of opportunity for those with artistic tal e nt. The "size of the magaz in e was cut clown to take away that "lost look," which th e students thought the printed section of the page had. The junior and senior high output was separated so th at the differe nt standards of criticism could be used. These changes were not very m a ny nor very radical, but they were effected in th e hope that they would give the needed impetus to student interes t.

Students Abroad "\Ve've got to go back someday!" is the common saying of our returned "Student Abroaders": Nancy Harscheid , Ruth Trumper, Bob Goodman, and Ted Reinke. They went as ambassadors of good will, to learn Spanish, and to learn to know the i'viexican people themselves. There were times, however, when nostalgia tempted them to retreat to Sanborn's for a banana split, strictly U.S.A. The four families wi~h whom they lived were as helpful as they were fri e ndly and made the Northerners feel completely at home. \'\Tith these families Los Americanos took many outside trips and when Mr. Farraday came down in April, they all had lots of fun showing him their homes and introducing him to their families. \Vhen the five months drew to a close the "S tudent Abroaders" were glad to be going home, but they regretted having to leave the good times, good fri ends, and the country that will remain in their memory always.

Cum Laude Six members of the class of '48 have been elected to the Cum Laude Society, the preparatory school equivalent of Phi Beta Kappa. Marguerite Ridge received her key in June of her junior year, while John Banks, Mary Beth Griffith, Nancy Harscheid, Margot Newman, and Gloria Swope were pledged in January, 1948. These students now wear a gold key which is the symbol of an outstanding scholastic record.

Faculty Play \ tV ith "Qu ality and QuantitY'' as their motto, the faculty Thespians, under the direction of Miss Bryant, presented three one-act comedies. The first play, "Box and Cox," by John Madison Morton, starred Miss Randolph as the proprietress of a J 9th century boarding house and Messrs. Economos and Snite as 1\Jr. Box and Mr. Cox, who unwittingly rented the same room and who both fell out of love with the same woman. \Vomen and women's clubs took a friendly ribbing in the second comedy, "Xingu" by Thomas Seller, as the Thursday Af.ternoon Club entertained a famous but formidable woman novelist, Osric Dane. Club president 1\Jrs. Ballinger's cultural tea was soon disrupted when Mrs. Roby introduced the topic, "Xingu," which none of the club knew anything about. The early departure of 1\Jrs. Roby and Osric Dane upset matters still more. But when 1\Irs. Ballinger's maid, Marie, showed that she knew more geography than any of them, the curtain came down on some pretty disillusioned ladies. Most of the actresses in this piece were Lower School teachers, but the Upper School was represented by Miss Munroe as an elegant grande dame, and 1\Jrs. I rvin as Mrs. Ballinger. The third play, "The Rehearsal," by 1\Iaurice Baring, permitted students to watch the faculty strut about in 17th century costumes and reddish beards and wigs. The comedy concerned a rehearsal of the original production of "Macbeth." Even if the producer and the stage manager, played by Mr. McFeely and 1\Ir. Emerson, didn't like Mr. Harvey's entrance as Lady Macbeth, the audience certainly did. Mr. Comrie, as Macbeth, fought an exciting duel with 1\Iacduff, played by Mr. Small, while Shakespeare (Mr. Burgess) ob li gingly rewrote a speech in the wings. Other characters were: the three witches, played by 1\Jr. Farraclay, Dick Mcfeely, and Bob Small; Banquo, played by Cyril Harvey, and the Doctor, played by Mr. Economos. PAGE 82


Senior Centenary Play The Senior-Centenary Players, under the direction of Miss Priscilla Bryant, presented their annual play to an appreciative audience on April 30. This year's production was Oscar Wilde's comedy, The lrnpmtance of Being Earnest, which was selected by a committee chosen [rom the Senior Class. The cast of the production, chosen from the Sophomore, Junior, and Senior classes, was comprised o[ Jim Quinn, in the role of Jack Worthing; Nancy Harschied, as Gwendolyn Fairfax; Bernard Brause, as Algernon Moncrief(; Virginia Gwynn, as Cecily Cardew; l\lary Ann Karsner, as Lady Bracknell; Bill Stevens, as Rev. Canon Chasuble; Patricia Gibbon, as Miss Prism; Bill Shmidheiser, as Merriman; and Larry Kirifides, as Lane. A great deal of credit for this enjoyable production goes to the various people behind the scenes who made it possible to stage the play. Even more credit is due Miss Bryant, who so experlly coached a relatively green group of actors.

Chorus The chorus, under the able direction of l\Iiss Brill, represents the musical talent of the school. Its membership is limited to boys and girls o( the Senior High School, but the freshman girls' chorus usually sings with the senior chorus at programs. During the school year the chorus has presented several programs which were greatly enjoyed by the audience. The chorus collaborated with the art department and gave a Christmas program which proved to be its greatest achievement of the year. However, the other programs have also shown that the hard work of Miss Brill and the students has really paid dividends.

Class Prophecy The spry old lady looked up as her husband came in the front door. "Hi, come here and sec what I just found. It was wrapped up in that ratty old outfit you used to practice basketball in," and she waved a little red book under her husband's blue nose. "\'\Tell, say now! Does it still have circles around the phone numbers o[ all the prettiest girls in the class?" He took it and began to leaf through the pages of their beloved red book; poignant memories caused tears to spring to their eyes. "JACK BANKS. I understand he celebrated his 87th birthday by winning the Davis Cup single-handed. He always did have plenty on the ball. And jACK BARNARD. Remember little Jackie? \1\Tho would have thought that he would be made president of Lehigh University at only 22! But SAM BoswELL! Taking over Abie's Delicatessen and losing money, too ... " "But dearie, thee forgets how successful some of our classmates have been in that line. Look at BARNEY BRAUSE and ToAsT MINSTER, the chefs at the Aronamink GoH Club. vVhy fully 50% of their customers live, and some o[ them even come back again. And there are LINTON and TARELLO, whose merger was the talk of the hash house world. "The way JACK BucKLEY built his empire has always amazed me. From what I hear, CHALKY \'\I"RIGHT, REESE DEHAVEN , LARRY HIMMELSTEIN, and MtLT KEENE are now associated with him as legal counsel." "Well, the girls have really stuck bogether, too. The last I heard, SHIRLEY TusKA, SuE VEIT, VIRGINIA KEIM, CAROLYN HuNTER, and CAROLYN GERSON were competing for first place as Great-Grandmother o[ the Year. And there's BARBARA HEILMAN, LOis Ross, Jo HERRING and MARIANNE CoLVILLE, travelling around the country giving exhibitions as professional bridge players. And to think that all d1e lovely post-cards they sent us were burned up! I had them in the same box with the clippings announcing MARY BETH GRIFFITH's appointment as editor of the New York Times and that lovely autographed picture of MARGOT NEWMAN when she appeared at the "Famous Writer's" banquet. "Those clippings aren't the only valuable things we lost," observed the senile old man gloomily. "All those records we had o[ JAcK WILSON's swing band with Roo CooK playing a red-hot harpsichord are melted. 'Wasn't BILL \!\TEST the publicity agent for that band? And speaking of publicity, I saw a headline the other day to the effect that KATHERINE GouKASSOFF was being deported from Russia for trying to put a bomb in the Kremlin. I always knew she would make good." "That was the same issue where I read that JoDIE CHANCE and G1 NY RAUCHFUSS were made assistants to MARY GALBRAITH. I think it's a good thing. Head· mistress at Valley Forge is an awful job for one woman. I certainly do remember the last time we drove out to see them. That was the time we smashed up our super sport roadster which MuNTZ, SHELDRAKE, WEBSTER, and Co. built for us." "Wasn't that the day after you side-swiped that McAvoY Brick Co. truck, and Bud leaned out and heaved a brick through your windshield?" "Yes, but he apologised when he recognized m~, which is more than BETSY ULRICH did when she took off our right fender." "Oh, she explained later. She and DEE HINKLE were on their way to one of the Philadelphia Wan·ion' games to see ADAM RIGGS star. Didn't you say that BILL PFEFFER is coaching them this year?" PAGE 94


"Yes, I think he is. But LO get back to the fender. Didn't we get the new one at i\Ianny, l\Ioe, and Jack?" "It was l\Ianny, l\Ioc, and Jack, but REIMENSCHNEJDER, HoovER, and DoHERTY bought them out, and now it's Barry, Bill, and Milt. When I saw the price they wanted, I was tempted to go over to that horse-breeding place run by MARGUERITE RIDGE, EvA SACK, and PATSY RICHMOND. That's where J IM QUINN and BILL STOTZ got their horses. Whoever thought that they would turn out to be l\Iethodist circuit riders?" "But they were certainly successful. At the end of their first revival meeting REINKE, STRAWBRIDGE, KIRIFJDES, and KtLLGORE pledged themselves to higher Lhings, and the last I heard, they had all decided to become Jehovah's vVi-tnesses. That was quite a shock, but nothing to what I felt when I heard that BILL STtcVEi\'S had joined the House of David. It took him forty years to grow his beard, and then i·t all proved to be in vain when he caught it in the wheel of a bicycle." "That was too bad, but the person I felt sorriest for is GLORIA SwoPE. She was so eager to get into that big university; and when she d id, she got lost the second week and hasn't been heard [rom since. I thought it was so noble of JICHOLSON, PRICHARD, EAVENSON, and GREENWOOD to dedicate their lives to looking for her." "By the way, did JERRY DARLJNGTO ever get that milking machine of his patented?" "1 guess so. I know that he was supplying all the milk for the milk baths featured at HARSCHEJD, HARRIS and KLINE's Beauty Salon. But when the customers are through there, they arc ready for KAUFMANN and GooDMAN's Cut Rate Funeral Home." "I think that the most interesting thing that any of our girls has done was to start that girls' pro football team. PEG McCANN, NANCY '"'ARWICK, PHYLLIS TuRNER, and S1s MINSTER have really made a going concern of it, with only one small difficulty: they have no other teams to play against." "Well, they can always practice on F.C.S. varsity football teams. It wasn't a bad idea, but personally, I don't see why CoNDA SosANGEus, CLARA LAc:As and RuTH TRUMPER ever got mixed up in that language school thing. They certainly made BERLITZ look like two cents. Their escape from LOUIE MooRE's and PAT GIBBON's settlement house was certainly thrilling. Who would have thought o[ hiding in the back of a GIORDANO Diaper Service Truck? They later said that as they went clown the street in the back of the truck, which B ILL SHMJDHE ISER was driving, that they passed JANE M INTER (the famous billboard artist) painting HILDEGARDE LAtER's [ace in a Rhinegold advertisement. "The truck rolled up to the governor's mansion in Penn 't\Tynn, and Bill got out, adjusted his tuxedo and marched up to the front door where he was admitted by the butler who proved to be READ ScHAEFFER. GovERNOR BRESS I, after kissing him on both cheeks as a reward for meritorious service, sent his body guard BoB LAUFER, who was attired in a tiger skin, out to pick up the diapers from the back of the truck. They had a partial class reunion in the governor's mansion after which they proceeded home under their own power." The old lady put down the book and yawned, "Well, now that we've been through it, what do you think about going back to that reunion next week?" Her husband beamed, "W"oulcln't miss it for the world." "That's what I thought, too," said his wife, tearing out the pages with the circled phone numbers. PAGE
