THE RECORD
The Class of 1958 Friend's Central School 68th and City Line Avenue Overbrook, Pennsylvania
FOREWORD The years we have spent at Friends' Central may seem to have been long and hard. But when we review these years we have spent together, they will be remembered as the shortest and happiest years of our lives. The Class parties, athletic contests~ and the various other school activities come first to our mind, but still more prominent are our memories of the intangibles: the fulfillment of our intellectual curiosity and individual talents, our friendships with both students and teachers. These we will never forget. Soon the Class of '58 will cease to exist as a unit. It is in order that it may never be forgotten that this year's Record is printed.

The Class of '58, accompanied by Mr. Carl Andrews, Col. Raymond Mack, Miss Ernestine Hoff, and Miss Eliza Blackburn, descended upon Washington for their class trip on Wednesday, March 13. The class took a grand slam tour of the Capitol Building on Wednesday afternoon. Between 1:30 and 6:00, they visited the Vice-president's office, the Senate (which was not in session), the House of Representatives, and Senator Humphrey. Following the tour of the Capitol, the class visited the Supreme Court and the Library of Congress. At 6:00, '58 returned to their hotel, dined, and heard a lecture on the Friends' Committee on National Legislation. Having breakfasted at 7:30, '58 arrived at the Bureau of Printing and Engraving an hour later. After the money factory, the class took a quick tour of the Lincoln, Jefferson, and Marine Memorials. Then they had lunch. In the afternoon, they visited the embassies of Russia, Britain, Egypt, and Israel. That evening, they had a free night. In their last stand in Washington, the class visited Senator Joe Clark, the Smithsonian Institute, the National Gallery, and after lunch, they toured the F. B. I. building.

STUDENTS ABROAD During their junior year, Judy Crumlish and John Miele were extremely fortunate in being selected as Friends' Central's first exchange students to our affiliated school near Munich, Germany. They attended Realgymnasium Graefelfing and lived with different German families during their stay. This year we have been very happy to have with us two German exchange students from Realgymnasium Graefelfing. Hubert Hitziger and Wulf Bergner, who are here under the auspices of the School Affiliation Service of the A. F. S. C., have become familiar figures on the F. C. S. campus. During the year, Hubert stayed with the family of Barry Sharpless, a junior, and Wulf lived at the home of Dick Thomas of the senior class. Funds obtained from the annual Spring Carnival, sponsored by the F. C. S. Service Committee, were used to help finance Hubert and Wulf during their stay in America. The two boys seemed to adapt themselves easilyto the pattern of life at Friends' Central. 46
CUM LAUDE The Cum Laude Society was founded in 1906, as the secondary school equivalent of the college level Phi Beta Kappa Society. The conception of Cum Laude emerged from a general feeling that scholastic achievement should be recognized in the secondary school as it is in college. There are 125 chapters in the United States, most of which are in the East. Friends ' Central has had its chapter since 1928 and since that time has elected over 200 students to its membership. Sergei Bogojavlensky became a member at the end of his junior year and Barbara Custer and Robert Freedman were elected to membership in January of their senior year. As recipients of the keys of the soc i e t y, the students pledge themselves to ''continue the pursuit of learning and to make wisdom and truth" the guiding factor of their lives. The Yearbook goes to press too early to carry the names of those seniors who may receive their Cum Laude key in June.

THE EPITHET President Editor-in-Chief Managing Editor
Kirk Foulke Andy Hepburn Ann Dothard
Published exclusively for the Class of 1958 at Friends' Central in the late Spring of 1958 by the Class of 1958.
This is a guided and sometimes mis-guided tour through The Daily Epithet, the Class of '58. As we come through the front door, the first thing we see are some of the newsroom types Art Schatz and Charlie Schiffer propping up the watercooler during what they claim is their coffee break. We meet our guide, Charlie Orr at the elevator and ride up to the second floor with Bob Kindred and Wetherill Cresson, who are discussing Jon Freeze's performance of the previous night, while Tam Jefferis raves over a current side-burned entertainer. As we get out, Charlie nods to Mary Brecht and Judy Buehne, who are going home, having spent the night in the newsroom, reviewing THE CRUCIBLE. The first desk we pass is the finanCial department, where confidential secretary Barbara Custer is conferring with Wall Street correspondent Bob Freedman. Next we come to the society section, headed by Page Tindle. Carol McNeill is offering a constructive criticism of the Stone Harbor social scene, and Lynnette Hodge, gossip editor, is talking over matched pink telephones to on-the-spot reporters Judy McBride and Wulf Bergner. Chip Ralston, department chauffer, waits impatiently. Next to the society department are Bob Jacobs and Kay Shipherd, writing a column of advice to the love-lorn; and across the aisle, Steve Reynolds is taking a call from Little Rock for his
50
unbiased race relations column. Marge McCullough charges across the newsroom, screaming for copy from Mary Smith and Rachael Goddard, and she nearly runs into Steve Khinoy and Bert Fowler, who discuss the relevance of Darwin and integration. Phones ring on both their desks: it's Debby Deming, covering local politics, and Dick Thomas, phoning in a story on Billy Graham. We come to a dark room, almost a closet, with the door open a crack, and, peeping in, we view Jack Parsons working on his comic strip, "Ronnie Roundhead and Sammy Squarehead," while his secretary, Barbara Ritter, laughs over a rival comic strip in the corner. We quickly move on to the fashion section, where we find Lynne Weisman and Margie Schwartz trying vainly to patch the white blazer of the disillusioned Sue Price. In the women's department, Tish Calby and Carol Pritchard are writing up the new all-carbohydrate diet, invented by our own science editor, Brian DePalma. Standing by the teletype machine we find the foreign relations crew, headed by our expert on Russian diplomacy, Stu Egnal, aided by Fraulein Judy Crumlish. Free-lance correspondent Sergei Bogojavlensky, currently on hot-spot Helsinki, looks on with mild disinterest. We are rushed past the sports department where we get a fleeting glance at Freddie Harshaw getting the best of Milt Russell in a wrestling match, while Alan MacLean and Hubert Hitziger, crew reporters, shout encouragement. Sports editor Bill Phillips takes a call from Bobby Flynn, phoning from Indianapolis. In the Ad department, we find Jimmy Florant working on a rhyming ad for Slenderella while John Miele does a layout for Gillette. Across the aisle we see proof-reader Duke Snyder absent-mindedly making paper airplanes out of copy as he chats with resort editor Anita Matalon, while Charles Hoffman industriously compares Evenrude and Mercury engines for a consumer's report. Photog. George Hardman comes in through the mail room, and as the door closes behind him, we see Jean Painter and Vicki Wait are "checking the male." We decide the time has come, when we see copyboy Rodman Rosenberger, at a dead run, chucking copy to re-write man Jay Smith, while pursued by Night Editor Horwitz, who carries a flashing six-gun and Billy Loescher screams, "Copy boy!"

STUDENT COUNCIL STUDENT COUNCIL Throughout one of its most successful years. the Student Council extended itself into new activities for the improvement of student life. Led by Andy Hepburn and Debby Deming, president and vice president, it not only performed its "routine functions" - running assemblies, canteens, and get-acquainted parties, selling popsicles, used books, and hot dogs, and acting as a sounding board for student opinion- but it also inaugurated a pmgram of extensive - and expensive - improvement in the Rec Room, helped to send a bus to the Archmere football game, and reorganized the honor committees, which was put under the direction of Ann Dothard, secretary of the Council. The sale of F. C. S. jewelry was also begun. Supervising the ebb and flow of money was Milton Russell, who had his hands full, to say nothing of his pockets. Debby Deming was secretary of the Inter-Ac Student Council which plans the annual Inter-Ac formal. Influential on the Executive Committee were Barbara Ritter and Steve Khinoy.

YEARBOOK
The 1958 RECORD's production was an ordeal for everyone. However, it was made considerably less so by an extremely able group of advisers including Mr. Rohrer of the art department, Mrs. Simon of the math department, and Mrs. Woerner, English department. Marge McCullough and George Horwitz were the editors-in-chief. They were assisted by photography editor Alan MacLean and his assistant, Sue Price, as well as by candids editor George Hardman. Bob Jacobs ran the business end of the book. His advertising managers were Lynnette Hodge and Bob F 1 y n n. Marjorie Schwartz and Lynne Weisman did an exceptionally fine job in the art department. George Hardman deserves special mention for his photographic art work which contributed much to the originality of the book. Rodman Rosenberger helped with ad lay-outs.

The Service Committee, headed by President Brian DePalma, Vice-president John Miele, Secretary Racliael Goddard, and Treasurer Nancy Carlen, set itself two aims this year: a greater interest within the student body and a greater accomplishment within the sub-committees in furthering our. international relations. The Affiliation Committee underthe chairmanship of JudyCrumlish promoted a better understanding among the p eo p 1e both at home and abroad. The committee sent students to the ''Schwenksville Conference" and "The Week of Urban Problems." Affiliation was continued with our affiliated school in Graefelfing, Germany, through gifts, cards, and pictures of Friends' Central and Philadelphia. Mr. Emerson, our faculty adviser, visited Graefelfing during the fall and helped to bring our schools closer together. The only drive held during the year was the Community Chest, conducted by David Sloane, which netted $753.74. Judy Crumlish was the chairman of Carnival, which was made a great success by the participation of every class in the activities. "Skit Night • provided an exciting and humorous end to the day. The Clothing Drive Committee, headed by Sue Murphy, collected clothes for underprivileged people of various countries. The Service Committee gave a German Fasching party this winter. To provide the German atmosphere, there was German music and dances. It was a costume dance and was a great success among the student.

CHORUS
64
This year the chorus has developed into a truly effective group. Under the direction of Miss Ernestine Hoff, the year was full of fun and many activities. After several weeks of warming up, the chorus gave full concentration to their Christmas program which was recorded and then sent to Graefelfing. During the year the chorus performed several times informally in assemblies. This spring they performed in a talent contest and in a Spring Festival with the orchestra. The seniors who contributed their time and effort to chorus this year were: Wetherill Cresson, Judy Crumlish, Barbara Custer, Ann Dothard, Kirk Foulke, John Freeze, Rachael Goddard, Fred Harshaw, Alan MacLean, Judy McBride, Sue Price, and Kay Shipherd.
Conductor: Mr. Sigmund Hering. First row, left to right: Horning, Wetterholt, Kindred, Woerner. Second row: McClenahan, Linnehan, Bruce Bush, Hayward.

ORCHESTRA Under the direction of Sigmund Hering, a member of the Philadelphia Orchestra, the school orchestra has undergone steady progress since its beginning four years ago. The membership is more than double the original; now over thirty students participate. It is composed mostly of Upper School students. Some of the senior members are: Tam Jefferis and Mary Smith, who play the piano; Sue Price and Charles Hoffman, flutes; Wetherill Cresson, bass viol; Bob Kindred, clarinet; Dick Thomas, French horn.

OCTET
Left to right: Miss Hoff, MacLean, Kirkpatrick, Yardumian, Harshaw, Foulke, Richards, Ulmer, Niedland, McQuade, Freeze.
Ten boys comprise the so-called "Octet"; included among these are four seniors: second bass, Fred Harshaw; first bass, Kirk Foulke; and first tenors, Jon Freeze and Alan MacLean. There are three juniors: second bass, Haig Yardumian; first bass, Richard Neidland; and second tenor, Dick Richards. Two sophomores, first basses Richy Ulmer and latecomer John McQuade, round out this year's octet. This year the boys have sung four numbers at the Boys' A. A. Banquet and one number in the Christmas Assembly. They have received many compliments for the performances. The "Co-Eds," was started one year ago by thirteen junior and senior girls who had decided that the Late Double Eight needed some competition. Although they met regularly for rehearsals, they had no leadership until this year when Miss Hoff offered to write some arrangements and organize the group. This fall, somewhat enlarged in membership, they sang at the Mother-Daughter Banquet, the Christmas Program, the Spring Music Festival, and other assemblies. The seniors participating were: Tish Calby, Judy Crumlish, Ann Dothard, Rachael Goddard, Lynnette Hodge, Judy McBride, Marge McCullough, Jean Painter, Page Tindle, and Vickey Wait. Left to right, first row: Hibbs, McCullough, Forster, Dothard, D' Alonzo, Shipherd, Goddard, Markland, Murphy, Miss Hoff. Second row: Hodge, Riccardi, Sivaton, McBride, Mackey, Jakob, Zeckwer.
CO·EDS
On March 7 and 8, under the direction of Mr. Burgess, Friends' Central presented the Senior High Play "The Crucible" by Arthur Miller. The play deals with the Salem witch trials and much of the plot and many characters are historically accurate. The characters include: John Proctor, (George Horwitz) who refused to confess to witchcraft. Abigail Williams, (Mary Brecht), the leader of the accusers. Elizabeth Proctor, (Jutta Buehne), Proctor's wife, also accused. Deputy Governor Danforth (Stephen Khinoy), the stern "hanging judge." The Reverend John Hale (Rodman Rosenberger), a young, conscientious judge. The Reverend Samuel Parris (Brian DePalma), minister of Salem. Giles Corey (Robert Freedman), an accused.
Ann Putnam (Barbara Ritter), Thomas Putnam (Alan MacLean), Tituba (Joan Mesrov), Mary Warren (Susan Wenograd), Rebecca Nurse (Blair Stevens), Ezekiel Cheever(Jack Parsons), Mercy Lewis (Prue Sprogell), Sarah Good (Mary Deming), Betty Parris (Wendy Miller), Susanna Wallcott (Ann Hall), Judge Hathorne (Robert Martin), Martha Corey (Judith Crumlish), Francis Nurse (George Hardman), John Willard (Stewart Golen), Hopkins (David Sloane)

THE NEWS
The Friends' Central NEWS celebrated its twentyfifth anniversary this year. In past years the characteristics of the paper have undergone substantial change. This year the format of the paper remained unchanged and the effort was to improve the details of organization and content. The editors, Robert Freedman and Robert Martin, had the help of a large and hardworking staff. Jay Smith as managing editor handled the technical ends of publishing the "News." Photos, which lend so much interest and vividness to a paper, were taken and processed by George Hardman. Sports, always an importent item at F. C., was covered by Peter Salzberg as sports editor. Frances Berger always had an abundance of Lower School copy for the paper. Business manager Thomas Donaldson brought in the ads. The "News" was enlivened with cartoons by Sally Reynolds and "Through the Keyhole", a chatty personalized column written by Judy Colish and Wendy Miller. The staff of reporters, Clifford Colman, Rachael Goddard, Susan Kelsay, David Lin~on, William Lundgren, David Rosenman, and Thomas Patterson, formed the backbone of the staff. The staff had the expert assistance of Mrs. Woerner as faculty adviser. Her rich experience and willingness to help smoothed the path for the entire staff.

ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION The Girls' Athletic Association, led by President Marge McCullough, Vice President Joan Shore, and Secretary Pris Brown, was quite busy this year sponsoring various activities. The girls arranged to have buses for football games and also sold Blue and Gray "six- footers, • mittens, and caps. Profits were contributed to the Building Fund. The A. A. Council had charge of the first annual Mother-and-Daughter Banquet, where fall sports awards were given out. The Boys' A. A. officers this year were Kirk Foulke, president; Bob Hall, vice-president; and Tim Patterson, secretary. This year's council energetically worked to improve locker room conditions. The A.A. held its annual Father-and-Son Banquet in December, at which 227 boys received letters for participating in the fall sports program. This year, for the first time, the A. A. gave awards to those boys who had participated in a Varsity sport for three years. Together the Athletic Councils sponsored the Annual Blue-Gray Field Day, offering the opportunity for spirited individual and team competition.

SPORTS AWARDS
The highest athletic award given to any Friends' Central girl is the White Blazer. To qualify for this honor the recipient must have attended Friends' Central for at least two years, and made four first team Varsity letters in or before her junior year. Also she must possess high character, leadership, and team spirit. Hockey captain Sue Price and basketball captain Marge McCullough were the recipients of this year's awards. Sue and Marge have shown leadership and spirit not only on the athletic field but also in many other phases of school life. The highest athletic award presented to a Friends' Central boy is the Fahlen trophy. It is given in memory of Robert W. Fahlen, captaii,l of the 1945 football team. To qualify for this award the boy must possess high character, leadership ability, sportsmanship, team spirit, and athletic ability. This year, captain Kirk Foulke and center Fred Harshaw were the recipients of the award. Captain Foulke was also honored by being named to the All-Philadelphia Scholastic football team. Kirk and Fred were named to the Main Line TIMES AllStar first team. Milton Russell, Alan MacLean, and Bill Phillips were named to the third team; Andy Hepburn and John Snyder received honorable mention. There are two soccer awards given annually to the most valuable player and the second most valuable player. Bob Kindred received the most valuable player award and Reid Bush the second most valuable. Kirk Foulke, Fred Harshaw, Alan MacLean, and Milton Russell received gold footballs for three years' play on the Varsity team.

FOOT

BALL If this year's football team had to be described in one word, the word would be good, and if a second were allowed, it would be lucky. They were hailed as "the biggest little team on the Main Line", for at the start of the season, the line averaged over 190 pounds. Milt Russell, Al MacLean, Kirk Foulke, Freddy Harshaw, Bill Bevan, Duke Snyder, and Jonas Stiklorius presented a solid wall for the opposition in the first four games. In the fifth game, against Penn Charter, both teams were undefeated and the score was tied, 6-6, at the beginning ofthesecond half. One play later, "Big Al" got a broken leg and Charter ran through the hole that resulted, for replacements were especially scarce that day, when F.C.S. lost their first of the season in the P.C. Mud Bowl, 26-6. During the rest of the season, Mr. Kirk frantically juggled the line: Kirk Foulke took over MacLean's slot, Stiklorius moved into Foulke's place, and Chip Ralston slipped into the vacated end position. They romped through the next two, taking Germantown Friend's and Archmere without too much difficulty. Andy Hepburn and Bill Phillips were tied in a little touchdown competition at the end of the Archmere contest, with 42 points apiece. Unfortunately, the tie was never broken, for the Bryn Athyn game was tied until the last four minutes, when B.S. pushed through, scored, converted, and won, 7-0. Besides losing Foulke, Harshaw, MacLean, Russell, Ralston, Hepburn, Phillips, and Snyder, who made 14 of his 23 conversions, Coaches Dave Kirk and Dick Burgess stand to lose lettermen Bill Loescher, Jack Parsons, Charles Orr and Steve Khinoy. Stiklorius and Bevan will lead the '58 line, with Richie Ulmer, Steve Jess, and Perry Anthony. Probable backfielders are this year's quarterback Tim Patterson, Dick Niedland, Donny Briskman, .who scored 24 points in touchdowns, and Dave Kirkpatrick. 77

HOCKEY
78
Under the leadership of Captain Sue Price and Coach Mrs. McBrearty, the Varsity hockey team had a season with two wins, four losses, and two ties. The seniors leading the attack were Barbara Ritter, Lynne Weisman, Page Tindle, and Marjorie Schwartz. The strength lay in the defense with Tarn Jefferis, Jean Painter, Sue Price, Lynnette Hodge, and Marge McCullough. The team was supplemented by many underclassman. The seniors who played Varsity, first team, for three years in succession and therefore received their gold hockey sticks were: Marge McCullough, Jean Painter, and Page Tindle.

SOCCER The 1957 soccer team had a rather successful season, winning four games, losing three, and playing four tie games. The team did not have as good a record as it did last year. Tougher competition was .found this year, however. The best game played was a thrilling three to one triumph over Roman Catholic very late in the season. The team was ably led by Co-captains Dick Thomas and Bert Fowler. It had an outstanding backfield which consisted of goalie Thomas, fullbacks Steve Reynolds and Hubert Hitziger and halfbacks Os Cresson, Bob Kindred, and Reid Bush. The forward line was led by Stu Egnal who scored 16 goals. Others on the forward line were insides Bob Long and Wulf Bergner and outsides Bruce Babcock and Bert Fowler. The team had a spirited bench which was a great help to them throughout the year.

This year's wrestling team was the strongest in the history of the sport at Friends' Central. Experience is an essential key to wrestling accomplishment: as witness the cocaptains Kirk Foulke and Fred Harshaw, each with three years Varsity competition. Newcomers, Paul Beltzer and John Mullins, showed themselves strong assets to coach John Pettit. Following is the starting lineup:

BOYS' BASKETBALL This year's Varsity Basketball team was led by five seniors : Captain Milton Russell, Dick Thomas, Bob Kindred, Stu Egnal, and Chip Ralston. Mr. Groff has called Captain Russell one of the best rebounders in the Inter-Academic League. Kindred, besides being one of the leading rebounders, constantly kept the fans on the edge of their seats with his driving lay-ups. Thomas joined the starting five late in the season but showed great promise, especially on the foul line. Stu Egnal was one of the leading scorers until he was switched to the back court, at which time he gave up his scoring to be a playmaker. Chip Ralston was the steadying influence behind this year's 1958 basketball team. The team was aided by underclassmen, Tim Patterson, Dave Branning, Bob Long, and Dave Kirkpatrick.
82
GIRLS' BASKETBALL The 1958 Blue and Gray basketball team, a spirited and determined "sextette," had a successful season. Mrs. McBrearty, the coach, and Marge McCullough, captain, prepared the girls to meet the stiff competition of teams such as: Baldwin, Shipley, Sacred Heart, etc. Our excellent defense players were Sue Price, Betsey Markland, and Marge McCullough. Making staunch competition for our opponents on the offensive side were Sara Newton, Ann Dothard, Sally Raynolds, Bonnie Forster, and Joan Shore. Receiving their gold basketballs for playing three years on the first team were Marge McCullough and Sue Price.

ARCHERY The Archery team was coached this year by Mrs. McBrearty. Seniors Mary Brecht and Mary Elizabeth Smith, and lower classmen Joan Mesirov, Phyllis Beck, Frances Berger and Sally Schrader were among the archers. The Spring 1958 season was a successful one for the team in matches against Westtown and Baldwin Schools. Mary Brecht and Mary Elizabeth Smith received their gold arrows in 1957 for shooting on the Varsity team for three consecutive years.

Despite the loss of several seniors, this year's track team has sufficient strength in itself for a good season. Rodman Rosenberger, Bill Phillips, Fred Harshaw and Bob Kindred are expected again to be standouts in the sprints and jumping events, while Kirk Foulke and Alan MacLean will be back for their third year to compete in the shot-put. Those returning out of last year's distance runners are Andy Hepburn, Jonas Stiklorius, Jack Parsons, Bob Jacobs and Sergei Bogojavlensky. With some hard work, Coach Harshaw's team may have its best season to date.

TENNIS Mr. Me Vickar expects a successful season this year with such returning lettermen as Stuart Egnal, Bob Freedman, Andy Hepburn, Brian DePalma and Rodman Rosenberger. The team faces rough competition with Germantown Academy, Malvern, Prendergast, Bryn Athyn and Friends' Select. However, with so many returning lettermen the prospects look good. Harry Weiner will also be playing and John McQuade will be an new addition to the Blue and Gray team. The girls' team coached by Miss McMahon also has high hopes for a winning season. Returning are Marge McCullough, Lynnette Hodge, Joan Shore, and Sarah Newton. A few days out on the court should have them in shape to compete with Baldwin, Shipley, Ellis, and Friends' Select.

BOYS' BASE BALL This year's Friends' Central baseball team has some excellent material as far as returning lettermen are concerned. There are also many promising ball players among the underclassmen. Some of the returning lettermen are Cocaptain Chip Ralston at second base; Co-captain Milt Russell, who was second team InterAcademic catcher last year; Richie Ulmer as short stop; Dick Neidland at first base and two pitchers, Bob Long and Dick Thomas, who gained valuable experience in the League last year. Newcomers will dominate the outfield. These will probably include Duke Snyder, Steve Jess and Donny Briskman. As the Yearbook goes to press this year's team appears to have more "flying time" than last year's team. This experience may add up to a winning season.

Gl RLS' BASEBALL

The 1958 baseball team was sparked by such senior players as Lynnette Hodge, Marge McCullough, Barbara Ritter, Sue Price, Barbara Custer, Tam Jefferies, and Carol Pritchard. Our prime contender w a s Shipley and it was evident that the girls had practiced long and hard for the season. Following in their footsteps were these underclassmen: Joan Shore, Sara Newton, Betsy Mackey, Nancy Carlen, and Betsy Markland.

LACROSSE With coach, Helen Mc Mahon, and captain, Ann Dothard, the lacrosse team worked well as a unit, harnessing its store of skill and spirit. Returning lettermen were: Lynnette Hodge, Sue Price, Marge McCullough, Page Tindle, and Ann Dothard. Also adding their strength to this years' team were: Judy McBride, Barbara Custer, Tish Cal by, Vicky Wait, and some freshmen, sophomores and juniors. Earning her gold-lacrosse stick for having· played three consecutive years on first team Varsity is Marge McCullough.
