The 1954 RECORD Friends' Central

FOREWORD

Graduation is the top of the first long climb. As we look back, we see our footprints stretching far behind us: sneakers, loafers, cleats, white bucks, high heels, and, at the bottom of the hill, a maze of indistinct bare footprints. Following them we can retrace our lives -the places where our footsteps came together: they are our record. We hope the tide of '55, when it sweeps in next year, won 't too quickly erase from this hill which we love, our "footsteps on the sands of time." Here at the top of the hill our footprints have come together and, although they will separate more and more from this moment, we hope that all of them will lead us toward the fullfillment of the values we have learned to appreciate at Friends' Central.

DEDICATION

We, the graduating Class of 1954, dedicate this yearbook to John H. Burrowes, a friend and teacher who always urged us, often against our will, to look beyond everything we saw for a broader and deeper meaning. The Class of '54 will always remember Mr. Burrowes as someone who tried to know and understand each of us as individual s. We hope to use the many rich ideas he has given us as we step into the future .

Big Feats In The Future

Friends' Central Sc hool'.

June II, 1979.

Oh, gypsy, search your crystal ball, And tell us what you find; " I see. a winding road of life, With footprints left be hind." "Here we are, ladies and gentlemen, at the twenty-fifth anniversary of the graduation of the class of '54. This is your radio announcer, Rouf Ytfif, speaking to you at the door of the Linton Gym at Friends' Central School. The gym has been converted into a ballroom for this gala event. The guests have begun to arrive. "And now I see a group of interesting looking people approaching our microphone. Thi s lady on my right in the blue dress is Joyce Manley. Joyce, I understand you are a circus barker." "That's right! " " Please step back a little from the microphone, Miss Manley. No need to shout. Behind Miss Manley I see the author of the new best seller, How to Learn Trigonometry in 578 Easy Lessons. Mr. Richard Angell, will you pl:e ase say a few words to our radio audience?" "x+y=cos. y" "Good evening, ladies. What are your names?" " I'm Ruth Williams and this is Joan Hunter. Joan has been the Yale mascot for years, a~? right now I'm a member of the Salvation Army. Now is a time of great need ... " It's been a pleasure speaking to you, Miss Williams. Among the guests here tonight I notice Lamar Schumpert, auctioneer of exceptional talent. Shuffling in now is Peter Atkinson, the famous T.V. comedian. Hov1 are you doing, Mr. Atkinson? " "Well, ah ... " "Thank you, Mr. Atkinson. Also heading this way are two of the outstanding personalities of the scientific world: Bruce Beckwith, well-known physicist; and Jack Ryan, Nobel Prize winner in nuclear physics. Good evening, gentlemen. Quite a collection of atoms here tonight, don 't you agree? "And now we have a very interesting personality in dark glasse s whom I fail to recognize. Oh yes! Julie Miller, the famous movie directress. Glad to see you here this evening, Julie. Striding toward me are three outstanding figures of the sports world: Willi Lutz , pitcher for the 'Bern Bears ', who has been eyeing th e refreshment table; William Wald, manager of the New York Giants; and John Monks who is one of the best jockeys in the country, although somewhat reckless on the track. Now I'll pass on to this little group over here. What's your name, madam?" " Diana Sta mbul. I'm selling little pink pills to cure sopranos of laryngitis. Care to try a sample box?" " No, thank you, I'm a tenor, but I'm sure they work wonders. This, I take it, is Eli zabeth Smith. She is a lady toreador. Been throwing the bull lately, Miss Smith? Since yo u've survived that one, would you please introduce me to your companions? J o- EIIen Goldenberg and Norma Schweitzer, eh? What are your professions, ladies?" "We are the back and front ends, respectively, of a tight-rope-walking horse act on the Milton Serle show." " I notice three members of the teaching profession are here tonight: Alexander Fetter, elementary algebra teacher in a Kentucky backwoods region; Robert Jansen, our graceful ballet instructor; and William Meider, Engli sh professor at Oxford University. Having fun, gentlemen?" "In an unknown quantity. " " Indubitably. " " Rawther. " " Here is a lady with blond hair I haven't talked to yet. You look cheerful, madam. 1

What is your name and occupation?" "My name is Evelyn Spence, and I'm an interior decorator for funeral homes." " Er ... excuse me a moment. I think I see Dori s Werner. Miss Werner, would you mind telling us something about yourself? Well, could yoo tell us something anyway? A steeplejack? How interesting. Two co-workers are now on my left: William Masser, who is keeping hou se with a mouse; and Gerald Stein, veterinarian, who is taking care of Mr. Masser's little mice. Paul Langner is coming toward me with Clarke Dunham at his heel s. I hear Clarke is trying to get matinee idol Langner, to take a part in Mr. Dunham's new French play, 'Au Nausea '. "Is this Virginia Lundgren? My wife listens every afternoon to your heartrending portrayal of Lorenzo Jones's wife, Bella, on the radio. Ah, now I see Anne and Elizabeth Osborne. Would you ladies please step over here? Anne, I understand you are one of the top witch doctors in Africa. Keep up the good work and don't get rattled. I believe Liz plays the trombone in Louis Armstrong's band. I see you have your trombone with you, Liz. Mind giving us a little demonstration?-Ouch! Thank you, that's enough for now. "In the crowd here tonight I caught a glimpse of two successful businessmen: J oseph Liebreich, newly elecbd vice-president of the modeling agency, 'Joe's Harem', and Charles Linton, the head of the Restaurant Waiters' Union. Too bad Sue Saunders couldn' t make it tonight. As senator from Virginia she has her hands full filibustering in the Senate this week. Here comes Tryntje Hasbrouck, the all-American hockey star. How many bowls of Wheaties do yo u have for breakfast? What? You're kidding, of course. This lady now entering looks as if she has a vigorous occupation. How about it, ma 'a m?" " I'm Kathleen Jordan. I run the 'Restview Home for Aged Ladies.'" "The dreamy-looking character with the long hair, who has been wandering around in a daze, is Richard Kimmey, poet of world renown. And now who is this with the tatoo?" ''I'm Roberta Cannon, captain of a whaling schooner." "Congratulations. And who is your companion? " "Toot! Toot! " "Oh, you must be Maudie Moore, the sound-effects genius. I've heard you often on the 'Railroad Hour.' Pard on me, but are you Barbara Pausser?" "Oui, Monsieur." " How do you like your job interpreting Engli sh into Fren ch at the U.N.?" "T res bien, Monsieur. Tres bien!" "Ah! Good evening, Mr. Kile. How are you, Mr. Kile? Enjoying yourself, Mr. Kile? Grrrr! Folks, that was William Kile, the Camden Police Commissioner. The last of the gentlemen to arrive are Mariano Maldonado, the blind-folded circus motorcycle dare-devil and David Walker, conductor of the New York Phi lharmonic Orchestra. How is the party going, Mariano?" " It's picking up spe0d ." "And what do you think of this 25th reunion , Mr. Wa lker?" " Bravo! " " Do you have any comments on music, Mr. Walker? " "Why, er ... er ... I think jazz is here to stay!" "Thank you, gentlemen. Now here 's a lady I haven 't had a chance to interview, because she 's been detained by a traffic cop. What is your job, Marie Horton? " " Driving school instructress-$3.00 per hour." "The last of the guests is just arriving now. Oops! Watch the table, lady ! It's Beth Snyder, folks. Beth, I hear you are a model." "Yes, I'm the model AI Capp uses for 'Cousin Weak-Eyes ' in his 'Li'l Abner ' comic strip."

Class of 1955

The Junior Class came gaily back from their Williamsburg migration in March, eager to take the title of Seniors from the graduating twelfth graders. The Student Council representatives of the ambitious Juniors were Bonnie Boardman, Sally Deming, Miriam Repp, Allan Mackey, Ted Riccardi, and Dick Spillman . Toby Walters will lead next year's soccer eleven, and Lyn Bidgood and Mildred Minster will lead the fair sex through the coming hockey season. Marcy Henry and Margie Tarrant were co-editors of the News. First citizens of the class were Tony Hudock, president; Sally Deming, chairman; Gail First, secretary; and the two treasurers, George Walters and Esther-Jo Moore. Bill Gartner and Linda Johnson were vice-presidents of the Boys' and Girls' Athletic Associations, respectively. The eleventh grade was represented on the Service Club by Lyn Bidgood, Gail First, Dave Hardin and Mayer Schnyder. In the musical vein, Miriam Repp, Helen DeOrsay, Middy Minster, Sally Deming and Kathy Lare sang in the Octet, which toured various campuses; and Ed Rummel, Dave Hardin, and George Walters performed in the Christmas production of "Amahl and the Night Visitors."

The Sophomores, a very sports-conscious class, were busy earning Varsity letters this year. Barry Tague, John Nagy, Bob Gartner and Dave Patterson helped the football team, while Don Best, Jeff Jefferis and Dan Boardman played Varsity soccer. The girls, awed by this array, yet determined not to be outdone, placed Winnie Repp, Nan Fetter, Gale Irvin, Betsy Paul, Judy Moulton and Sieta Van Zanten on the hockey squad. In the school organization, Winnie Repp, Nan Fetter, Barton De Palma, and Alan Freeman served on the Student Council; Jeff Jefferis, Marcia Graham, Don Best, and Sue Kaufmann on the Service Club; and John Nagy, Alan Freeman, Judy Moulton and Sieta Van Zanten on the Athletic Association. The Soph Hop was the highlight of the class's social season, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed himself. On the whole, the Class of '56 had a good year under the leadership of Bob Gartner, president; Alan Freeman and Nan Fetter, chairmen; Patti Pugh, secretary; and Judy Moulton and Margie Miller, treasurers.

Class of 1956

The Ninth Graders, who usually clamor for a blanket of snow, this year regretted their clamoring-the night of their class party, it snowed seven inches, and the event was called off. Bad luck, however, did not pursue them during the remainder of the year. Gary Fields and Earle Duncan started at center on the Varsity football team; Pete Savage and Randy Teaf were among the best on Varsity soccer; and Nancy Gruber made Varsity hockey. The homerooms (much to the class 's liking)

were again co-educational, following a policy set up several years ago. Because Mrs. Benner and Mr. Burrowes saw to it that manners were minded and mended, the Class of '57 was about ready to drop from exhaustion. Fre shmen working to better the school on the Student Council were Larry Spitz and Sue Carlen. President Pete Drayer, Vice-president Herman Rosenberger, and Secretary Sarah Hardin led the class through a pleasant but stormy year.

The 1954 Yearbook was completed after many heated staff meetings, clicking of typewriters, and frantic meeting of deadl'ines. Jo- EIIen Goldenberg, editor-in-chief; co-ordinated the work of the staff, while the business and financial angle was handled by Barbara Pausser and Jerry Stein. Elizabeth Osborne served as art editor; Sandy Fetter took charge of photography with Bill Masser as his assistant; Beth Snyder collected candids; and Anne Osborne and Bill Kile reported on sports.

The Service Committee, with Bill Masser as president, Maudie Moore as vice-president, JoEIIen Goldenberg as secretary, and Bob Jansen as treasurer, set as its goal the betterment of social relations in general. To further international relations, the Committee exchanged gifts and correspondence with our affiliate, Graefelfing School, near Munich, Germany. At Christmas-time, some folk-song records and books of representative American literature were sent. The money raised from the Carnival will be used to bring over a foreign student to Friends ' Central next year. To make the Carnival a success, Friends' Centralites united, and every class and group set up a booth. The culmination of the day 's events was the amateur show in the evening. The F.C. Communtiy Chest Drive was conducted to raise money for the United Fund, American Friends' Service Committee, and various other organizations.

The annual Clothing Drive, while bringing in pounds and pounds of clothing, aroused the spirit in class competition against the seniors, who have won the drive since seventh grade. A square dance was given in January for both the Junior and Senior High Schools to bring parents and children together for a family party. Other activities of the Service Committee which were carried on during the year included parties for the underprivileged children given by the Friendship Committee, with Virginia Lundgren as chairman, and participation in the Wee kEnd Work Camps in Philadelphia. Several mem bers represented F.C.S. at the Week of Urban Problems conducted by the Friends' Social Order Committee. Willi Lutz, whom the Service Committee brought over from Switzerland with last year's Carnival money, has helped to spread goodwill right in our own back yard.

The Friends' .Central News, covering all school activities and items of interest, has been published monthly by the journalism class, under the guidance of Mrs. Woerner. Edited this year by Marietta Henry and Marguerite Tarrant, who took the place of Jo-EIIen Goldenberg, last year's editor, the members of the staff worked hard 1o present an interesting school paper. Seniors Anne Osborne and Bruce Beckwith left sports reporting to Dick Blank and Beverly Boardman, while Lyn Bidgood reported the Lower School activities and wrote gene·ral articles. "The Council Crier," carrying important news of the Student Council, was written by Nan Fetter, who was broken into the job of reporting affiliation news by Virginia Lundgren.

Dan Egan kept up exchanges with other schools, and Frank Knipe wrote "Faculty Briefs." Carol Netzky developed into a highly competent heads editor; Jeff J efferis did all-round News reporting; while Robert Sylk arran~ed News cuts. The paper was enl'ivened by Bonnie Gross's "Student Opinion," the humorous cartoons of Jodie Guthrey, and the always interesting social news in the "Prying Eye," edited by Jane G roff. Last but certainly not least were the indispensables like Joe Liebreich, business manager, who took care of getting ads; copy reader, Virginia Lundgren; and typists, Julie Miller, Deborah Gayl, and Anne Markland.

The Friends' Central NEWS

Cum Laude

Two members of the senior class, Virginia Lundgren and Alexander Fetter, were elected to the Friends'. Central chapter of the Cum Laude Society. in January of this year. The Cum Laude Society, founded in 1906 by Dr. Abram W. Harris, is the secondary school equivalent of Phi Beta Kappa, and stands for outstanding scholastic record and good character. Virginia and Sandy were awarded the keys of the society, and they pledged themselves to "continue the pursuit of learning and to make wisdom and truth" the guiding factors in their lives. The society now has 125 chapters in schools throughout the United States. Having obtained its charter in 1928, Friends' Central has since elected 228 students to membership.

Lundgren, Fetter·

"Students Abroad" Friends' Central School life has been greatly enriched by the experiences of our three good-will ambassadors. Sandy Fetter and Elizabeth Smith spent the last semester of 1-heir iunior year in Mexico City, living with Mexican families and attending the "Colegio Americano" with their newly-found friends. Elizabeth stayed with the family, of Lalo Hermosillo, a '52 graduate of F.C.S. and Sandy stayed with friends of the Hermosillos. Both of these students enioyed their stay immensely and found the Mexican people to be hardworking but at the same time cheerful, good-natured and, above all, extremely friendly.

Fetter, Smith Willi Lutz

Willi Lutz, as our first ambassador from Switzerland, spent his senior year here at Friends' Central under the American Field Service plan. Willi was very much impressed with the United States. He thought the Americans were active, generous, sociable, and terribly syste mati c. He particularly liked the democratic ideals practiced here at our school. All of us are sorry to see Willi leave because he has added so much to our school life. We all hope that we will see him again some day in Trogen, Switzerland.

The Chorus, under Miss Brill 's enthusiastic direction, added that extra touch of color to many of the F.C. activitie s. At Thanksgiving, a special program was given in which the entire chorus performed several selections in harmony; the tenors and basses sa ng a few selecti ons for all-male voices, and the ootet, consisting of Sally Deming, Helen DeOrsay, Kathy Lare, Mildred Min ster, Maudie Moore, Miriam Repp, Sue Saunders, and Diana Stambul, sang several delightful numbers. At Chri stmas-time, "Amahl and the Night Visitors" was given with the leading parts taken by David Sloane as Amahl; Diana Stambul as the Mother; Stephen Collins, Ed Rummel, and George Walters as the three kings; and David Hardin as the page_ In the spring, Miss Brill and the Chorus assisted Mrs. Andrews a nd her dancing group in a choraldance drama, which was based on American music. As an attraction for the Chorus, an exchange program was again arranged with Episcopal and, as usual, was very successful. To wind up the year, the Chorus sang several selections at the Baccalaureate service in June. The elected officers of thi s year's Choru s were : Diana Stambul, president; Roberta C annon, secretary; and Nan cy lves and Bill Flynn, librarian s. The School appreciates th e time and energy Miss Brill has devoted to building up our Friends' Central Choru s.

The Athletic Association Eliza Blackburn 's Girls ' Athletic Association, with Barbara Pausser and Elizabeth Osborne as co-presidents, Linda Johnson as vice-president, Sieta VanZanten as secretary, and Judy Moulton as treasurer, successfully tackled many projects this year. At Christmas-time, the annual A.A. Banquet was given at which the fall sports awards were made. After dinner a series of basketball games between the Varsity squad and the alumnae were played. At midyear, a new cheerleading squad was chosen by the Association, with the help of the old cheerl'e aders. The A.A. also voted on the Blazer Award at the end of the year. The Boys' Athletic Association, with Dick

Angel l as president, Bruce Beckwith as vicepresident, Bill Gartner as secretary-treasurer, and under the guidance of Dave Kirk and Frank Groff, likewise gave the Father and Son Banquet, at which the Fahlen and other fall sports awards were given. The boys also worked to get printed programs, with line-ups and score-charts, for several of the big games. The two Athletic Assoociations jointly sponsored Field Da y, which resulted in an exciting contest between the Blues and Grays. The affair, which included such activities as a tug-of-war and a baseball game, was en/"oyed by all. During the year, ath etic awards assemblies were given by both associations.

Left to right, standing: Pausser, Schweitzer, Moore. Sitting: E. Osborne, Linton , A. Osborne.

Athletic Awards The senior class this year set a precedent in that six members of the class received athletic awards for outstanding sportsmanship. The Fahlen Trophy, awarded annually to the member of the football team who, in the estimation of the coaches, has shown the greatest proficiency and the most team spirit, was presented at the Father and Son Banquet to Charles Linton. Charles, who played football for the first time this season, showed outstanding sportsman sh'p and a wholehearted effort at all times. Five Senior girls received their white blazers

in their junior year. Muudie Moore, Anne und Elizabeth Osborne, Barbara Pau sse r, and Norma Schweitzer, all contributed good sportsmanship and spirit to the teams of which they were a part. To qualify for the Blazer Award, a girl must have been in attendance at F.C.S. for at least two years and mu st have made four Varsi ty teams before or in her junior year. Finall·y, she must possess high character and team spirit. The athletic ability of these six people played a very important part in the victorie s of our teams.

Fight! fight! fight! fight! rah . . . fight! . . . was the cry of our spirit-boosters at each of the football and basketball games this year. Captained by vivacious Jo-EIIen Goldenberg, the cheerleading squad, made up of six seniors, Roberta Cannon, Anne Osborne, Elizabeth Osborne, Norma Schweitzer, Ruth Williams, and two iuniors, Anne Nusbaum and Sallie Whitesell, aroused the pep and spirit of the entire student body.

Football The results of the 1953 football season at Friends' Central cannot be truly determined by the record of the team. F.C. was victorious in only two games out of a schedule of seven. However, the development of an entirely new ball club is never measured in wins-and-losses. Led by Captain Bruce Beckwith, the only returning starter salvaged from more than two years of Friends' Central' supremacy on the gridiron, a number of promising young players were polished for the season to come. But the team lacked in experience as well as in reserve strength. A number of the departing seniors will be sorely missed by the Kirk-and-Burgess coaching combination. Beckwith set the pace for the team

in both determination and ability. Bill Masser was one of the outstanding factors in the defensive success of the F.C. forward line. Charlie Linton, diminutive right-halfback, shone on offense and defense as well. Joe Monaghan and Dave Walker, also played capably throughout the season. Bill Mieder, Pete Atkinson, Bob Jansen, Lamar Schumpert, Paul Langner, Willi Lutz, and Clarke Dunham complete the list of graduating lettermen. The highlights of an otherwise dim season were the 28-0 romp of St. Andrews and the 12-7 edge of previously undefeated Germantown Friends'.

Hockey Under the leadership of co-captains Liz Osborne and Barbara Pausser, the Friends' Central hockey team ended a victorious season with six wins and two losses. After defeating El lis College, Friends' Select, and Shipley, our winning streak was upset by Agnes Irwin, who beat the girls, 3-1. Following this loss, Baldwin defeated the Blue and Gray in a close 1-0 game. Luck was on oCJr side again when the Varsity Eleven conquered Westtown 3-1, Stevens 5-0, and ended the season by defeating Sacred Heart 1-0. The team profited greatly by the return of Senior lettermen Elizabeth Osborne, Barbara

Pausser, Maudie Moore, and Anne Osborne; and the hard playing of Seniors Roberta Cannon and Jo-EII•en Goldenberg. Other members of the squad, giving able assistance were Nancy Gruber, Mildred Minster, Lyn Bidgood, Anne Nusbaum, Sieta Van Zanten, Betsy Paul, Nan Fetter, and Judy Moulton. In the All-Sectional Tryout competitions, Friends' Central placed second to Springside, defeating Agnes Irwin and George School. Liza's fine coaching has been a constant guide and inspiration to the team and did much to make the 1953 season so successful.

Soccer The 1953 edition of the Friends' Central soccer team was one of the most spirited aggregations to wear the Blue-and-Gray in quite some time. With Coach Stan Morrison in his first year at the helm, and Sandy Fetter captaining the team from his right-fullback position, they displayed the fighting desire to win each game on the entire schedule. Although the record of two wins against eight setbacks is not impressive as far as the records go, team unity and stubborn fight replaced over-emphasized victories. There were a number of individual standouts as well as the fine overall team performance. Dick Kimmey, right-inside playing his first year at the game, was an aggressive sparkplug. Jack

Ryan, goalie, a .scrapper from West Catholic, saved many a goal for F.C. and was named to the lnterrac second team. John Monks' early season injury was a bl·ow to the team's lnter-Ac chances. Bill Wald led the list of able reserves. The few loyal fans who followed the actions of the soccer team were greatly rewarded with exciting recollections. The West Philadelphia, Westtown, Moorestown, Haverford, and Episcopal games were among the best. Best of luck to Toby Walters, newly elected captain for '54 and also lnterrac second team. The team feels that his spark and hustle will bring a number of wins to Friends' Central next year.

Girls' Basketball The 1954 girls' basketball team came through a very successful season under the enthusiastic captainship of Norma Schweitzer and the skilled coachi11g of Liza Blackburn. The Blue and Gray letterman, Jo-EIIen Goldenberg, Maudie Moore, Liz Osborne, Barbara Pau sse r, and Norma Schweitzer were sparked by Marian Appel, Helen DeOrsay, Nan Fetter, Ruth Jarvi s, Linda Johnson, Julie Miller, Anne Nusbaum, Pat Pugh, Ruth Stubbs, and Sallie Whitesell.

Starting off the season by losing to Abington by a heartbreaking score of 25 to 24, the F.C. veterans came back to conquer Stevens by the overwhelming score of 66 to 32. The girls made up for their lack of height by their excellent team work. The second team kept a consistent record of wins and lost only one game in two years-and this game by a very close two points. Of course, the girls were all grateful for the good job Sue Kaufmann did as manager of the team.

Boys' Basketball As we go to press, Friends' Central's 1953-54 basketball quintet, with Frank Groff as coach, is plunging into the thick of Inter-academic League competition. Dick Kimmey and Bill Kile are this year's co· captains; the former being one of the district 's top rebound artists, while the latter is turning in some of the most spectacular scoring exhibitions ever witnessed in the lnter-ac League. There is no doubt that Bill will be one of the top scorers in the Philadelphia area. A consistent set-shooter from any spot on the floor, Jack Ryan is proving to be one of the most valuable additions of

basketball talent to arrive on the campus this year. Bill Mieder, with his educated one-hand stab, is a top player in the clutch. Bill Gartner, a boy to watch next year, is the only junior on ihe starting combination, Dick Angell, a senior playing his first year of Varsity ball, is making Mr. Groff wish that Dick had come out for the team in his earlier yea rs at F.C. Ed Rummell, John Nagy, Pete Atkinson, and Toby Walters compose the reserve strength of the Blue and Gray. Each one of these boys plays excellent ball when needed.

;

Since this article goes to press in late February, we must gaze into our little crystal ball because only a fortune teller could predict the outcome of the baseball season at Friends' Central in 1954. If we ask Head Coach Dave Kirk what he expects, we would surmise that the outlook is not bright. But everyone knows that Mr. Kirk would fill a half-dozen handkerchiefs and three boxes of Kleenex with his pre-season tears even if he was manager of the New York Yankees. It seems, however, that the baseball team will be plagued with that disease well-known to Friends' Central athletes currently; our dreaded

menace "lack-o'experience." But let us look deeper into the gyfsy's crystal ball . . . with competitors like Jac Ryan and Mariano Maldonado, our irreplaceable catcher who possesses a fiery influence over his fellow players ... along with Dick Angell, John Nagy, Alan and Nicky Freeman to mention a few, we must conclude that the outlook is bright. So, win or lose, we can rest assured that the baseball team representing Friends' Central this year will make up in fight and hustle whatever it lacks in the win column. Remember that whether a game is won or lost is not as important as how it is played. Good luck, gang.

This year Betsy Smith, an All-Philadelphia hockey player, coached Friends' Central's Varsity lacrosse team with the help of Captain Anne Osborne, who played center on the team. Both got F.C. in shape for its season, which included games with Baldwin, Lower Merion, Irwin, Shipley, Marple Newtown, Sanford, and Swarthmore. The returning lettermen were Barbara Pausser, Maudie Moore, Elizabeth Osborne, Anne Osborne, Norma Schweitzer, Lyn Bidgood, and Sally Deming. Second team members Jo-EIIen

Goldenberg, Roberta Cannon, Pat Hopkins, Anne Nusbaum, and Middy Minster also did their share of cradling. Of the six girls who earned their gold lacrosse sticks, four were seniors. They are Maudie Moore, Anne Osborne, Elizabeth Osborne, and Barbara Pausser. The two juniors were Lyn Bidgood and Sally Deming. The entire squad practiced long and hard to prepare for its successful season .
