Without Mr. Owen's capable guidance the Clay Tablet and Senior Play would not have been the successes they were. Miss Gladys C. Hall has been our class advisor since our debut into high school. Her firm and sincere guidance has helped in solving many class prob- lems which have arisen. Miss Hall has impressed upon us the importance of punctuality and careful planning. To this fine and wonderful person we have dedicated our Clay Tablet. r n K, W.

For only one tenth of a dollar you can see the greatest assortment of freaks ever collected under one tent. That's right, folks, for only one thin dime you can see the oddities of the Big Top. Step right this way . . . Yes, that barker was talking about us when we were freshmen back in 1950. Al- though we weren't really freaks, we felt just like them. The old-timers would look at us and say to one another, Look, here comes a fresh- man. l'll bet he has his schedule mixed up or something. But after the first two or three weeks we began to learn the ropes of the Big Top. We felt more at ease with the trainers who, we found, were human, too. We also found that there were many activities in which we could take part. Many of us went out for the sports, others ioined the band, still others found iobs on the Circus newspaper. After nine months, when the circus closed for the summer, we found that all of us had been given a raise to a better position under the lights of the Big Top. W 'Q 1. , 1 xf Frcs 'an X I xl Y 2 fa 6. x IXS, s0fflo 'es Xls I'- D Came September, as we trooped back to the Circus grounds, we realized that a change had taken place-we were regarded as old-timers. We took the assignment of lockers, meeting the new trainers and setting up a new schedule as matter- of-fact. Certainly nothing was new here. Oh, yes, we mustn't forget that we held our first dances during this period. They were nothing to shout about, but they were dances none the less. As Sophomores we began to branch off into various fields of labor. Some wanted to become the brains of the Circus, others wanted to be machinists, others wanted to be iust a little of everyhing. Most of the girls wished to be secre- taries or accountants and handle the receipts. And we began to learn the tricks of our trades. HI TOR posters, we were moving into the big time. We were what the Circus managers called Juniors. We knew our places and could handle our duties as easily as an elephant eats peanuts. One of the bigger moments of our time under the Big Top was the Junior Prom, a ball that the Juniors give for the Seniors and themselves. Our theme was Stardust, and through the ingenuity of one of our performers, we were supplied with a water fountain for the grandstand of the arena, where the dance was held. All evening we danced under the blue crepe ceiling with the garden backdrop lending its touch to the heavenly atmosphere. X A A I s . . . lt was hard to realize, but it was on all the 7 'Q U 1 xx 9 An, X! J x I ' X Sem . f, The number of problems in our Junior year under the Big Top was nothing compared to when we moved to the most treasured spot under the lights, the center ring. We had the yearbook, the Senior Play, graduation, and so on. While we were in the center ring, we got the privi- lege of using the entrance reserved especially for us. The biggest act we gave in the center ring was the Senior Play. After due con- sideration, we picked Our Hearts Were Young and Gay. Rehearsals were fun, the performance was even more fun. As it is with most of these productions, the performers enioyed it more than the audience. Old hands as we were, we were all a bit nervous when we marched solemnly down the aisle on graduation day. Moms and Dads beaming, we received our traveling papers. These bits of paper, diplomas, they are called, formally ended our career under the Big Top of Claymont. Most of us have signed up for an- other Circus. We're getting old and others are taking our places here. Our experience here should take us from the Big Top to the top . . . But here we had our beginnings, our first con- tact with the sawdust and the thrill of giving a good show. ELIZABETH BARBARA ADEL BETTY COMMERCIAL Betty came to us in '52 from Wilmington High School.

I o u e I 0 IUIIIOR Ill-l.l'l'ES 1953-54 was the school year in which the Claymont seventh to twelfth grades became a distinct Junior-Senior High School, virtually segregated from the ele- mentary school which moved into its own new building. With the departure of the primary grades to their new school, the Claymont Junior-Senior High School was able to take claim to the Green Street Building as its own. The Junior High had as its own locale, the south wing of the building on the first and second floors. Another innovation of 1953-54 was the presentation of separate Junior and Senior High assemblies since the auditorium was no longer efficiently able to accommodate both groups together. On special occasions ioint assemblies were held. Junior High activity periods are held fourth period on Fridays. The activities and sponsors are: Junior High Choir, Miss Hipwell, Co-recreational, Mr. Malin, Camera Club, Miss Bourdon, and Dramatics Club, Miss Lilley. Many Junior High students also participate in such organizations as the Band, Stamp Club, Stage Crew, and Student Council. Perhaps the highlight of the year's activities in the Junior High was the late spring Fashion Show and Tea Party. The prime objective of this affair was to help the eighth graders choose the proper high school course to pursue. The eighth grade parents were invited to this program to meet with the faculty, and to assist their children in the selection of courses. The girls modeled articles of clothing which they make in home economics classes, and the boys demonstrated shop proiects. This was followed by a reception in the cafeteria. First row: J. Dempsey, J.

In it, we students, perform- N' ers in our own right are under the capable and patient training of the faculty, the trainers, who are training us to be better performers in a larger and more challenging Big Top, the world. We have our clowns, our acrobats, our midgets, our giants, and our circus brains here under our Big Top- 1 nf As Seniors, we have moved into the center ring of the Al , show, the hallowed positions of star performers. One of our M great privileges and responsibilities as star performers is W to present ourselves and the rest of the Big Top with the annual circus journal, the Clay Tablet. Without the co-operation of all involved, the circus could m not long endure. Similarly, the Clay Tablet '5h could not be edited without the teamwork and co-operation of all the star performers, and the able assistance and advice given us by our trainer advisor, David E. Gwen. Well, here it is, the Clay Tablet '5h. We hope you like it. I Signed, 2:1 Clay Tablet '54 F Managers I k Seated: G. Seagraves, N. Stevens, S. Scott, E. Lieberman, N. Heaps, M. Jones, J. Willis, and.

The Student Council of Claymont High School is a democratic organization re- presenting the Student Body. 1953-54 officers of the Council are as follows: President-Norman Renz, Vice President-Virgil Romito, Secretary-Joan Thompson, Treasurer-Richard Murphy. Sponsored by the Student Council are such worthwhile activities as Antrim Bureau programs, the Magazine Drive, Valentine Semi-Formal Dance, and the school activi- ties. Much credit for the success of the Student Council must be given to Mrs. Griffiths, faculty advisor.

B All D The best in Delaware, is the opinion held by many, when it comes to the Claymont High School Band. It is surely a rare occasion when the band enters in competition and doesn't come out with a blue ribbon. The band has presented many a startling performance at half-time during football season. Edward Steiner must be commended on his fine iob as director. Much credit must also be given to the Band Boosters, without whose support the band would not be what it is today. Bottom to top: B.

As the seniors graduate they will look back and treasure all the happy times they had in the choir. Some of the happy times were brought about by the presentation of such wonderful performances as the Spring Concert, Candlelight Service, Christmas assembly, and Community Christmas Caroling. Much effort, work, and time has been put into these dif- ferent programs. We are cognizant of the appreciation of the choir, thanks to those who are willing to participate in order that others may enioy fine vocal music.

And you can be sure that the yells are for our boys either on the football field or on the basketball court. It is to the cheerleaders and Nancy Stevens, the captain, that the growing spirit and pep of Claymont High School is due. The girls work hard developing their routines to the precision of dancers on a stage. The squad is losing five members this year, but there will be other girls to fill their uniforms. It is these girls who have brought their vital personalities to lead this school in the best type of relation- ship and demonstration on the field of sports. They have led us into performing better and increased greatly the stimulating relationship that exists between Claymont and its rivals. -if OG ca 2,f t' 0 4 S046 ,yt ,sf YG KA 19450 I-iv'i 5 S 83 X 19, , TK ff D jkw.

The team was off to a fine start, winning its first two games, but it ran into some extremely tough opposition in its next few games. However, the Indians still finished the campaign with three victories, three defeats, and one tie, the best record compiled by a Claymont aggregation since the '49 eleven went through the season unvanquished. ln addition to learning how to run, pass, kick, block, tackle, and other fundamentals of the game, the boys learned the two most important phases of the game, teamwork and sportsmanship. The '53 season can be summed up by the motto: A quitter never wins, and a winner never quits. SUMMARY Claymont ....... ...,. . .13 Archmere Claymont ....... ...... 1 4 P.

BASKETBALL A fine Claymont High School basketball team turned in a commendable record after playing one ot the toughest schedules in the history of the school. The Indians had a record of eight wins and nine losses. After getting off to a slow start, the boys caught fire and won eight out of the next ten games. Virgil Romito and Arloe Olsen usually scored in double figures, while Gilbert Mahla and Norm Renz teamed up on the backboards. Captain George Seagraves was the playmaker of the team. Nick Romito, Ed Lieberman and Carey Barr came through in many a close game. Although the season's record tell just short ofthe .500 mark, the season as a whole was a fine one.

They played a continually im- proving game and were always capable in performance. The Varsity will be greatly strengthened next year by additions from Coach Malin's well-grounded squad.

BASEBALL SUMMARY With potent hitting, impervious defense, and great pitching, Coach Malin's base- ball team turned in one of the most exciting campaigns of the last few years. With five seniors back from the '53 aggregation, Claymont was a dangerous threat to all rivals. The veterans who formed the nucleus of the squad were: first baseman, Arloe Olsen, Virgil Romito at second base, George Seagraves at short- stop, Cliff Money at the Hot corner , and Dick Murphy behind the plate. Bill Burke and Carl Weir were the mainstays of the mound. Patrolling the outfield were Ed Lieberman, Frank Linden, and Bob Dempsey. These men provided a tight defense and added punch to a hard-hitting offense. SCHEDULE April 6-Wm. Penn . .... ..... H ome May 18-Mt. Pleasant April 9-Newark ....... .....

With fine coaching and a handful of lettermen returning, the team as a whole turned in many victories. With fellows like George Seagraves, Virgil Romito and Gilbert Mahla teaming up to handle the dashes and broad-iumping, Claymont always has one or two places in these events. The field events were represented by Arloe Olsen, Francis Dickson and Carl Weir. Ed Lieberman, Bob Cossaboon and Chuck Foster turned in dependable performances in the distances and Larry Dean and Jim Pyle continued their fine efforts in the pole vault.

GIRIJS VARSITY HOCKEY Claymont had a fairly successful campaign on the hockey field in 1953, winning one contest, tying in two others, while dropping two by close scores. Win, lose, or draw, the girls would never say die and kept on fighting until the final whistle. Claymont displayed an attack featuring teamwork and hustle. Nine of the starting eleven were seniors. These nine have surely profited from this rugged and exciting girls' sport. SUMMARY Claymont ...... - ...... 0 A. I. duPont Claymont ....... ...... 2 Conrad ..... Claymont ....... ...... 0 Mt.
