Bill. Joan. can you believe that we have finally completed our senior year at F.C.S.?

Joan. It doesn't seem possible, does it, Bill? Think of all the things we've learned, parties we've been to, and the friends we've made during these twelve years.

Bill. Our class certainly has grown since it started with Jackie \\'atkins back in kindergarten.

Joan. Jackie doesn't look like one of the "Founding Fathers" but she is.

Bill. She wasn't alone for long though. Marilyn Downs and I came in first grade. I remember Marilyn used to have a monopoly on the swings at recess.

Joan. And I bet you were chanting, "Arma virumque," even then.

Bill. 'vVe had some gay old times learning our ABC's together.

Joan. Didn't Connie Forster, that confidante o£ the junior boys, and Tony Fowkes, our lanky basketball captain, join the class then?

Bill. Yes, and I remember Carol Ann Jerjisian used to play the piano at all our assemblies, and Jack Balson was the star of all Miss Thoms's Mexican plays.

Joan. Jack must have looked cute riding on a burro saying, "Si, si, senor."

Bill. Emma Minster made her entrance in fifth grade as Becky Thatcher in our brilliant production of Huc!?!eberryFinn, and "Zeke" Shortlidge wandered in from Paoli.

Joan. Our class really grew in seventh grade. Editor E. B. Hudock, alias General Hardnails, and Geo Harkins, that potential AI Capp, joined the ranks.

Bill. Joan Lallou, our Main Line deb, bowed in that year and Lalo Hermosillo first crossed the Border. (Have you ever heard French spoken with a Spanish accent?)

Joan. Every day at recess Mary Lou Alexander would run out to play baseball with that star pitcher, Irv Clark. "Dodo" Reimen-

CLASS

schneider was so quiet that nobody knew he was in our class until he sang the lead in the Mikado in eighth grade.

Bill. \Ve nearly drove Miss Brill crazy singing. " 1i Ya Sa 111a." Big Jon Leiby sang soprano that year, but you should hear Tugboat Jon now.

Joan. Joan Lyons is as full of pep now as she was back in eighth grade, and Ellen Peiper was practicing to ''hablar espafiol" for her sojourn in Mexico even then.

Bill. Ninth grade was really a wild year; all the teachers will agree to that. But Jim 'vVilson put that wilclnes to ome advantage as captain of our 1951 undefeated football team. Patty Carroll has turned out to be quite a woman of the "·orld. She captivates all the boys with her innocent stare.

Joan. Mrs. Benner used to lecture us every clay on how to be young ladies and gentlemen. \Ve didn't listen to her then, but I think those lectures have clone us ome good.

Bill. When Bev Mulholland came that year, she gained everybody's friendship: ''Have a problem? Tell Bev all about it."

Joan. Miss Munroe introduced her honor system in our class. \Ve all remember her for that.

Bill. Who could forget our biology nature walk?

Joan. Poor Mr. Farraday made quite a Daniel Boone leading us on our expedition through the wilds of Crum Creek.

Bill. Barbara Stein talked about her dissection of the frog all year. I wouldn't be surpri eel if she turned out to be an eminent biologist.

Joan. Barbara become a biologist? If she does, I'll become a physicist and pay back Mr. mall for all that wrecked equipment.

Bill. And then we were sophomores. Herbert Cleaver worked out his efficiency system on how to take short cut doing homework, and Harry Roeder came chugging up the driveway in "Delilah'' expounding his political theories.

HISTORY

Joan. Mrs. Klarmann taught us to have a profound interest in current event She used to say, ''Now. kittens, you've got to keep up with the \Yorld."

Bill. History for Anne Scarborough will undoubtedly remain a constant fascination. I wouldn't be surprised if she turned out to be a female Toynbee.

loan. arolyn Brown still insists that she can live quite happily on a diet of French fries and tea.

Bill. \ Vhenever the News came out you could be sure all sports events would be vividly reported by Don Ritt.

Joan. And Dave Franz, business manager of the News, sa\\· to it that all bills were paid promptly on the lOth of the month.

Bill. l\Iarch 3, 1950 brought the Soph Hop. Mr. Snite complained continually about our "management of the financial end of the dance," but we proved that we could even "make money" on the dance.

loa11. And when the Carnival rolled around Anne Parkhill, that candy and co!?e girl, 1 rovided us with a cotton candy machine.

Bill. In the fall of 1950, we returned to F.C. as juniors. After his half year in 1\Iexico, Alan l\Iitosky's prime ambition was to add Mexican zest to cafeteria soups.

Joan. Early in the year we found .that we had a joker in our midst-George Garrett. You could usually find George in the boys' lunch room at recess saying, "Do you know the story of ?"

Bill. In December, Colonial Williamsburg received its annual bombardment. 1r. Comrie, Miss \Vhitcraft, and Mrs. Ham were our official chaperone on our trip to Dixie. Our whole class was together with everybody enjoying himself and learning American history on the spot.

loan. The song "Summer Time" always makes me think of J etta Sommers. J etta has a poignant sweetness in her voice that you remember long after the song is done.

Bill. \iVhen Wayne Rayfield entered, he immediately began to show his talent on both the stage and the basketball court.

Ioan. And we could always depend on "Stretch'' for clever "ad libs" in Friday morning assemblies.

Bill. A soon as spring was in the air we began making preparations for the Junior Prom.

loan. Yes, we prepared entertainment, decorations, and refreshments. And what happened? It rained on the night of June 11th.

Bill. Oh, it rained for a little while but the spirit of the dance wasn't dampened in the least.

I oan. Mr. Johnson's "Get- Together Party" really started our senior year off with a bang.

Bill. All football season. the opposing teams' goal posts were as familiar to Ed Bracken as his own back yard.

Bill. Mrs. Woerner began early in the year to gently prod into activity members of the Year Book Staff, and we must admit that we appreciated it when deadlines came around.

Bill. Don Ellis, wearing his frog man outfit, zoomed up F.C.'s driveway on his motorcycle.

Joan. Ike Eickert's love for solid and trig is bound to aid him in some field of engineering.

Bill. He may design a modern chem lab for F.C. some clay.

I oan. A gloomy, snowy January 7th brought the Senior Prom. What would we have done without Neil Rosen who managed the finances of the dance?

Bill. Basketball season surely dragged along for Bob Stark. "Starkie" couldn't wait to get a baseball mitt in his hand.

loan. Spring slipped by and this long awaited day of June 13th was upon us before we knew it.

Bill. Yes, and won't it be nice when we all get together at our first class reunion?

The Student Council had a successful year under the direction of Donald Reimenschneider, president, and Jackie \1\T atkins, vice-president. Mr. Burgess, faculty advisor, aided greatly the achievement of the Council.

The most significant accomplishment of the year \\·as the new set-up in the lunchroomthe outcome of a committee which worked with l\Ir. Johnson and l\Iiss Linton to bring about changes advantageous to the students. The most spectacular event of the year was the victory bonfire held after the Varsity football team won the last game of their undefeated season.

In September, the Council gave the annual "Get Acquainted Party" for the entire Upper School. The Council again chartered buses to take students to and from "away" football games. Many of the study halls were supervised by Council representatives. A committee was also appointed to help Miss Brill choose the Forty·two

types of songs to be sung in the Song Contest.

Through the efforts of Jackie \1\Tatkins and Francis James. the Council remained active · in the Inter-Ac Council. The first Inter-Ac Canteen was held at Friends' Central in 1\ oyember. Under the leadership of Anne Scarborough, a cloakroom committee was established which aided the Alumni Association at their annual dinner and the Home and School Association at the BalL

In December, the Council sold calendar catalogues ,,·hich featured pictures of school life at Friends' Central. In March the Inaugural Ball was held to introduce the newly elected president and vice-president of the Student Council.

Standing committees which functioned throughout the year were: Assembly, Executive, Lost and Found, Publicity, Rec Room, Refreshment. SociaL and Safety.

Since September, the Service Committee has accomplished a great deal under the leadership of Lalo He1mosillo, president, and Pat Hudock, vice-president.

One of the committee's many acti1·ities \\·as the Community Chest Dri1·e 11·hich was headed by v\'innie Jess. This year. a total of $850 \\'aS collected. This amount \\'as eli vi dec! bet11·een the Gnited Fund, the American Friends' Sen·ice Committee. the Graefelfing School in Germany. and :"llontenerodomo School in Italy. The balance was kept in the treasury of the Scn ice Committee.

Another concern of the ervice Committee was its affiliation with the Graefelfing School in :-lunich. Germany. The affiliation committee, with Jane \Veidensaul as chairman. saw to it that Christmas packages 11·ere sent to Germany and that correspondence bet11·een the t\\'0 school · was strengthened. \Ve were fortunate

111 having t11·o exchange students from the Graefe lfin g School, Ingeborg Kornrumpf and Roland J\:ocher. studying with us as members of the junior c lass.

In the spring, the Service Committee again cooperated with the American Friends' Service Committee in the annual clothing drive. Each year the official Service Club plaque is a11 arded to the class 1rhich has co ll ected the largest amount of clothing.

The biggest project of the year was that of the Carnival. Each class took part in this by setting up a booth and also by putting on a show as part of Talent Night. The proceeds of the carnival will go towards bringing tuclents from abroad here next year.

The Service Committee has tried its best this year, as in other years. to better conditions both locally and internationally; and with Mr. Emerson's help. they hope to continue to do so.

Several sophomores joined the staff and replaced so me of the ever busy seniors. Lamar Schumpert took over for Emma Minster as alumni editor and Bruce Beckwith headed the job of cuts editor. Robert Cannon and John Monks became reporters , while Dick Kimme y pounded a typewriter and prepared the calendar.

Several new members from the junior cla ss took on important jobs: Debbie Miller becam e the Lower School editor succeeding Anne Scarborough, and Joan Hayward became exchange editor. Jane Weidensaul came into the News

as the affiliation editor. Dede Unkefer learned the trade of managing editor.

The Friends' Central Chorus, comprised of enior high school students, under the excellent direction of l\Iiss Frances Brill, presented several programs to the school as well as an exchange program with Epi copal Academy.

The officers of the chorus were Carol Ann J erj i ' ian, pre ident, who \\'aS also the accompanist; Marlene l-Iiller. secretary; Anne Osborne and )Jorma Schweitzer, librarian

On November 16, the Third Annual Song Co11test was held. The judges. I\1r. Curtis York, head of music at Episcopal Academy; Dr. Helen I\Iartin and Dr. Jesse Scott, profes ors of music at the University of Pennsylvania, selected the freshman as the winning class.

The concerts gnren at the school included the Christmas performance in which the chorus sang Roy Ringwald's SongofChrist111as. The Second Annual Spring Concert was presented on March 21. One of the most impressive contributions the chorus made was the program which preceded the Baccalaureate l-1eeting for \\'orship on June 8.

A sextette made up of six senior girls, I\Iary Louise Alexander. Patricia Carroll, Constance Forster, Carol Ann Jerjisian. Joan Lyons and J etta Sommers, soloist, added interest to each performance with a few special selections. They also gave a recital at the Presbyterian Home for the Aged in N ovem her.

CUM LAUIJE

One member of the class of '52 has been elected to the Friends' Central chapter of the Cum Laude Society. \ \'illiam Fordyce now \\'ears hi s gold key as a symbol of his high scholastic record and has taken the pledge to ' ·nou ri sh the lo\'e of sound learning and make \\'isdom and truth the guides'' of hi-s life.

The Cum Laude Society is the prep school equi\'alent of Phi Beta Kappa. It was established as an honorary scho lastic society in 1906

by \b1·am \\' ] la n·i s, of the Tome School, \\'ho felt that there shou ld be recognition for outstand in g students.

The Friends· Cent ral chapte r is one of some 125 chapters no\\' actiYe 1n secondary schools in the 'Cnited States.

The school is Yery proud of Bill for he represents the high ideals of scholarship for which ,, e all should strive.

STUDENTS ABROAD

To our three ''Students Abroad," Mary Lou Alexander Alan l\[itosky, and Ellen Peiper, Mexico is like a magic word for it brings wonderful and unforgettable memories to them.

Mary, Alan, and Ellen left Friends' Central in late January to spend the second half of their junior year in l\Iexico City. There they learned the language, customs and daily routine of our neighbors south of the border. The families with whom they lived were helpful and friendly and made it easy for our ambassadors of good will to get the most out of' their stay in Mexico.

The "'Students Abroad'' feel that their visit to Mexico has proved to be an invaluable experience which has made them more understanding of a people whose customs are quite different from ours.

MARY LOUISE ALEXANDER, ALAN MITOSKY, ELLEN PEIFER.

SENIOR HIGH PLAY

A week before Christmas vacation, F. C. S. began to buzz with talk of tryouts for the coming production of Shaw's ''Pygmalion." An eager group of students from the upper three classes responded to the call ar:cl a casting committee of t\\·o sophomores and six juniors chose the final cast. Mr. Burgess. the faculty director, and student director Dottie Lieberman took the group and molded sixteen unexperienced but talented amateurs into a company of skilled Thespians.

Joan Hayward's sparkling performance as Eliza Doolittle will long be remembered around

the campus. ] oan's role called not only for difficult acting but also necessitated mastery of two dialects. \Vayne Rayfield's portrayal of Professor Henry Higgins likewise deserved commendation while George Harkins made Colonel Pickering live again. Comic honors went to Don Ritt for his excellent characterization of Doolittle. Professional poise marked the performance of Anne Parkhill as l\f rs. Higgins.

"Pygmalion" proved itself a success in more \\·ays than one. The February 29th audience totaled 241 and ilfarch 1st saw 186 turn out despite five inches of snow. Profits totaled close to $300.

Parkhill, Harkins, Hayward, Rayfield, Ritt.

GERMAN STUDENTS

This year the junior class was proud to have within its ranks t11·o students from Friends' Central's affiliate school in Graefelfing, Germany. Roland Kocher and Ingeborg Kornrumpf 11·ere selected from among students of their school to come to Friends' Central. Their Yisit was made pos ible by the proceeds of the CarniYal sponsored by the Service Committee in May of 1951 and by the generosity of the J larlow and Parkhill families with whom the students lived.

When June finally rolled around and l{oland and Inge were ready to say ''good bye,'' it was the feeling of the School that we had all gained valuable experience in international cooperation and living through their visit

The cheerleading squad this year had ten members: Seniors :\lary L. Alexander, Joan Lyons, Anne Parkhill (captain), and Jackie Watkins; juniors Peggy Brumfield, Carolyn Cannon, Hank Lavine, and Pinky Sail; and sophomores 1\oberta Cannon and Jo-Ellen Goldenberg \Yho led the cheers through an undefeated football season. They revised some of the old cheers and made the songs ring out at basketball games, in the Friday morning assemblies, and during all the pep rallies.

There was a great amount of enthusiasm in the student body and clue to the help of the cheer leaders the F. C. stands were a! ways filled

CHEERLEADERS

with loud shouts of hope and cheer to spur the teams on and allow them to know the student body was behind them.

The squad this year was increased from four to ten members and therefore the retiring seniors will not be replaced. The boys, Pinky Sail and Hank Lavine, added interest to a previously all-feminine line-up.

All the ten members of the cheerleading squad amply fulfilled the requirements of pep, good sportsmanship, neat appearance, and poise which are the qualifications which must be met when cheerleaders are chosen.

Although the season has not yet started a · this article goes to press. there are many things that indicate that Friends' Central is going to turn out one of the finest baseball teams in the school's history. Coach Frank Groff feels that if any Centralite squad is going to win the league, this is the team to do it.

Captain Irv Clark, one of the best pitchers ever on a Friends' Central team, and )J eil Rosen will do the pitching. Mike Harlow and AI DelVecchio are battling for the catching position. In the infield first base is a toss up between Dave 1-lepner and Tony Fowkes, Jack

Balson and Bobby Stark make up the short stop and second base pots, \\'hile Bob Buckley and Don Ritt are fighting it out for third base. The outfield will be made up of George Harkins, Lalo Hermosillo, Howard Sipler, Don Small, and \Varren von Uffel.

This is a hustling, confident team which will be led by the fine pitching of Clark and Rosen who have proven themselves in past seasons and who could bring home many victories if the hitting which Groff is looking for material1zes.
