Av ,gTA fQl.4 i I OLIIEV HIGH SCHOOL June 1949 THE BALLAD OF THE INDIAN In the pages of this Trojan We have paid a humble tribute To a half forgotten culture, To a truly native culture. Through the mighty Appalachians, Fording the deep Mississippi, Through the barren purple deserts, And across the high Sierras Down to Where the Thunder Water Waves its crests of feathered foam, Often passed the Wandering Bed Man With arrow, bow and tasseled spear. As he wandered, he sought beauty, Wove into his rugs his stories, Carved upon the rocks his legends, Sang his simple songs of longing, Loved and worshipped the Great Spirit He knew all the laughing Waters, The placid ponds, the leafy trails, All the creatures of his kingdom. He stood upon the Council Bluff And lifted up his fearless eyes, Knowing that all men are equal. Each has his own way ot Worship. The Seneca and the Chippewa, The crafty Huron and fierce Sioux- All are the Great Spirit's children. Love ot honor and ot treedom- These were once the Indian's birthright, But now he is almost forgotten. Only when by chance a farmer Comes upon a War Head buried, Or a passing tourist chances Cn a steep adobe dwelling ls the Indian still remembered. ln the pages ot this Trojan Here, by means ot utallcing paper , We have paid the Red Man tribute, Tried to show his simple virtues. Thus we send a Winged shatt heavenward Where now dwells our Indian brother. Telling him we still remember, Telling him he's not torgotten. ill? f fr:N,. :',: Mrs. Loveland Yr? Mr. Glcxss DEDICHTIUII to our Sponsors As a token of our sincere appreciation for all that they have done in our behalf during the past years we, of the class of Iune '49, wish to dedicate this record book to our helpful and inspiring sp-on- sors, Mr. Max Glass and Mrs. Gertrude Loveland. It has been their expert guidance and untiring effort that have brought success to many of our undertakings. Mrs. Loveland's enthusiasm has encouraged us. Her limitless stock -of ideas has inspired our class to attain great heights. We are thankful, too, for the steadying influence and helpful, practical suggestions of Mr. Glass, who helped put many of our ideas into Working order. His understanding and willingness to help us has endeared him to all. No class could have asked for two more won- derful sponsors. They have guided us over many rough spots, and have worked untiringly in our behalf. For their aid and encouragement we shall be eternally grateful. ' We, the class of Iune '49, hope this book will serve as part payment for all that they have done for us.

V, 9 HDIIIIIIISTRHTIOII Deep within the Red Man's forest Lived and loved the wise Ticonda, Great law-giver of the nations, And old Eewa was his helper. Through the forest strode Ticonda And he watched o'er all his people, Taught them all the law and knowledge Taught them how to sit in council, Taught the braves to hunt in friendship, Taught the chieftains how to govern, How to train their young men wisely. In the silver sprinkled night When the moon was o'er the trees, Eewa then proclaimed his wisdom, Opened wide his saucered eyes: 'xWhoo . . . Ticonda and the Red Man. And the rustling trees remembered, And the grey One howled the story Of Ticonda and the Red Man. When the flaming sun shone bright And shrouded night had left the forest, Slowly home went wise Ticonda To the lodge where all were welcome If they listened to his teaching. Let us heed Ticonda's wisdom: Keep the law and reverence knowledge, Let us do all things with conscience, Guard the rights of one another, Heed the wisdom ot the ages. M4 Our Principal Mr. Haines Through struggle for survival, the American Indian acquired wisdom. He could not defy the laws of Mother Nature and avoid the discipline of conse- quencesp he learned to conform to her exacting requirements, or pay a penalty. Our American heritage still contains this element, but to a lesser degree. Centuries of conflict with nature has brought apparent triumph over the restrictions of wind and wave, drought and disease. Modern science and manls genius for invention have produced comfort and convenience, ease and a soft civilization. The modern Hiawatha rides the rails and roads in luxury, ignores the seasons, worries not at all about tomorrow's, food, and seems to ignore nature's mandates. l X My hope for you, the members of our 34th class, is that wisdom and understanding, so effectively developed in your years at Olney, may keep you conscious of the old law that strength increases with struggle: you can't get something for nothing: you cannot drift into success, but must sur- mount difficulties by resolution, will power, and determined effort. For that has always been the permanent formula forsuccessful living. To each of you, top achievement through high endeavor! Hssistants to the Principal Mrs. Fink Dr. Greenwood Mrs. Fink: A Welcome smile, a cheery greeting and a helping hand are always extended to anybody seeking help and advice for his problem. She has guided us through our years at Olney with a steady and unfaltering hand and has helped to make our stay a pleasant one. Mrs. Fink can always be counted on to be of assistance, no matter what situation arises. The Class of Iune '49 sincerely thanks her for her untiring efforts and her willingness to aid all students. Dr. Greenwood: How many students have found comforting words and encouragement in Dr. Greenwood's advice as they sought a solution to their problems? He has made a friend of every pupil by his cheerful smile and unswerving devotion to his job. We are very fortunate to have so able, so pleasant and willing a Vice-Principal. We fully appreciate the time and effort he has spent looking after our best interests and it is with heart-felt thanks that we bid good-bye to our friend, Dr. Greenwood.

W Um HCTIUITIES When the Red Man roamed the forest ln the days before the White Man, He knew and loved his mighty realm. He knew all the flowers of the woodland, All the children of the forest. He shared the splendor of the dawn With all the little forest people, Birds and beasts and humble reptiles Were all his friends, they loved him well. And the brooks told him of friendships, Of their clearness, of their sparkle, And the wind whispered of friendships: Once made, they are yours forever . . ln the evening pale Matrona, Sad Matrona, the moon maiden, Searched for her departed lover. Silver tears fell through the trees, Bathed the world in lovely light And sadly mourned for friendship's loss. On the lonely barren desert As the evening dusk descended, Red Men built their fires of friendship, Gathered round for games and stories, Watched the purple smoke ascending, Sang their songs and told their legends. Friendship was their greatest treasure, Love, their wealth of gold and silver. Embers of the fire of friendship Still are glowing in the twilight. Qnly look and you will find them ln the sky agleam like diamonds. Keep the light of friendship glowing, Feed the fire and stir the embers. Learn the lesson of the Red Man: Wealth comes and goes, but friendship stays ,kfw fg Z- -,fx 7 vu V.

Proud they were of feats of daring, Made their .lite a noble teamwork. Baroo mourns that now the Red Man Roams no longer in the forest, Walks no more the plains and mountains.

The first four games of the 1948 season, all losses, seemed to indicate that this would be another poor year. However, the hard charging line, led by Frank Markward and Frank Ganther, improved with each successive game. Under the patient guidance of Coaches Mueller and Nejman, several boys were developed into outstanding play- ers. Then McFarland, Noga, Santoro, Charles Mark- ward, and Scowcroft, our backfield stars, began to click as an efficient combination. Soon the ice was broken when Olney defeated Germantown, 7-U. The team rolled on, subduing Central and Mastbaum,in fine style. The entire team performed admirably well in every game, and finished the season tied for sev- enth place in the Public High League. Even though the squad was light and not very deep in reserve strength at several positions, these boys of the 1948 football team did a splendid job and merit the praise of every Olney fan. BHSHETBIILL TEHIII In 1948-49, O1ney's basketball team enjoyed one of its most successful seasons in many years. Combining a good defense and accurate shooting, the squad fin- ished the regular season in a fourth place tie, but lost to Central in a hard-fought play-off game. However, the team's excellent Won and lost record does not do justice to the great achievements of this fighting club. Our quintet, although not having exceptional height, was fast, spirited, and above all, full of fight. Who will ever forget the adroit dribbling and tight defensive work of our two aggressive guards, Shel Saffren and I-ise Dezube, the accurate shooting of forwards Fred Iehle, lay Fenster, and Harv Portner, and the out- standing backboard work of lack Burgoyne? The squad was strengthened considerably by a host of very capable reserves, including Feldman, Roseman, Simone, Lung, Griffiths, Berman, and Quinn. Under the expert tutelage of Coach Spielburg, the team was always at its peak of performance, and after the boys suffered a close defeat, they would always come back fighting for'the next game. Besides being chosen for the All-Public team, Fred Iehle, the talk of the league, broke Olney's scoring record and carried off the City individual scoring championship with a grand total of 301 points. Enthusi- astic Olney rooters shall never forget the aggressive- ness, sportsmanship, and never-say-die spirit of this 1948-49 basketball squad. get 52 Jgxw 4 ,.i- .-1.111 BRSEBHLLTEHM Our baseball team, ably coached by Mr. Debus, has enjoyed an excellent season this terml Every game has been a close one, and hard fought. Several boys, including captain-pitcher Iohn Witham, stood out, both in fielding and hitting. Will our loyal fans ever forget the tight games with Central and Northeast, or lack Mihock's home-run in the Northeast game, or the excellent pitching ot Tom Lucia and Iohn Witham? The team, although it was not supported by Olney students as in former years, displayed a team spirit which merits everyone's praise. Outstanding players Were: Iohnny Witham, Frank Ganther, and lack Mihock. MDV 0 QLNEP' fi by V 'X' BHSEBRLL SECUHD TERM Coach .........................................

Led by their outstanding right fullback and captain, Bob Fox, the boys compiled a regular season record of seven Wins, three losses, and one tie, to place fourth in the Public High League. The eleven was further sparked by the standout performances of such players as Richard Fluge, left fullback, David Bruckner, goalie, Eugene Eisenman, center halfback, Robert Iones, left halfback, Robert Schuler, center forward, and lack Tallon, center halfback. Although Olney didnot place as high in the league standings as in previous years, the squad's play was characterized by good sportsmanship, aggressive- ness, and the will to win.

BOU.llIIlG TEHIII The year 1949 proved a glorious one for O1ney's bowling team. The keglers, coched by Mr. Marzzocco, looked great this year, finishing the season with a rec- ord of 23 Wins and eight losses. The team ended the regular schedule tied with Southern, but they unfor- tunately lost in a play-oil meet. The varsity included Tony DePaul, Ioe Dougherty, Dan Dougherty, Ronnie Cowan, and Harry Nieman. The team gained the high single whole team total, rolling over Frankford with a score of 917. DePaul, captain, holds the record for a three game series with a superb 583. Harry Nieman, who is to be graduated, will be missed, but with sev- eral men coming up from the second team, the bowlers are confident of putting up a strong iight for the Public League Championship next season. -Q 1- 1 -.

Although in the first game of the season the team's winning streak of 35 games was halted by Bartram, 24-23, Olney showed decisive victories throughout the remainder of the season. Some of the important scores are Bok 31-22, Kensington 62-2l, Southern 55-34, and Frankford 50-30. The second team finished the season undefeated. Its closest decision was a 25-24 victory over Wm. Penn. The squad attributes the success of the teams to faith- ful practice and unselfish teamwork. The girls are now proud to own a record of only 2 losses in the past five years. Ianet Vart, a senior and captain, was high scorer of the season with 145 points. D GIIHS' HUCHEV TEHIII The American Indians, as the Americans today, were avid sports enthusiasts. Among their favorite activities was lacrosse which can be compared to our game of hockey. The Indians played lacrosse with crude equipment consisting ot small balls made of hair and leather. Today hockey is played with modern instruments including a ball which measures the same in diameter as that used in lacrosse. The object of lacrosse is to retain the ball, which is held in a net, until the opponents goal is reached. The object of hockey is to get the ball through the goal on the opposing team's territory. The Olney Girls' Hockey Team has had only one de- teat in the past four years. Although the Indians did not have any real sportsmanship because they were vindictive when defeated, the Americans in sports possess the highest degree of sportsmanship. Under the able coaching of Mrs. Liese, the girls have reached undeteatable heights. Due to the unity and sportsmanship among the girls and their coach, the team has developed into an outstanding group ot players. Senior members: Marion Hammond, Reba Sharpless, Elise Stahl, Doris Stolp. X 7 f' X 565' E 1 X J N fi? Y--ig... I 'YKI I I tl fV',l5W 4: nls sorrsnu renm The Olney Girls' Softball Team successfully completed the 1948 season undefeated. They easily managed to overcome Southern by a score of 31-2, Roxborough 9-2, Kensington 17-3 and Bartram 15-7. However, we can all vividly remember the thrilling Frankford game. Olney was trailing in the last of the sixth by a score of 8-7. With a last minute rally the Olney girls man- aged to bring the score to 14-8, leading Olney to another victory. This successful season was due both to the able coaching of Mrs. Anna K. Liese, and to the excellent team work displayed by the members. Aside from showing excellent ability, the girls displayed the fine sportsmanship which has always been so significant of Olney's sport life. ul Ili -lllllllx 1 T ... 2 SEHIUR lEHDEH5 Sponsor . .......

But old Beesha still remembers. Beesha, the buffalo, knew the Indians, How they worked and played together, How they learned from all ot nature, Made their bodies strong and agile, Listened to the wise Ticondag He remembers how the chiettains Taught the young men strength and wisdom Till they lett the care ot elders And went out to prove their manhood. Now that we, like our Red Brothers, Enter on the test ot manhood, Let us not lorget the lessons We have learned with one another. Let us heed the voice ot wisdom, Tend the glowing fire ot friendship, Believe that all men are our brothers, Love and worship the Great Spirit.

The quota system was abolished and membership was based cn- tirely on merit and the approval of the entire faculty. I Everyone is proud of these Honor Society members-boys and girls who can combine the highest possible scholarship with leader- ship and participation in many extra-cur- ricular activities and loyal service to the school. 4' JUN ,, vw , ggi H K'- li' t 1 . 1 5. mm it Q- ft , li' 1 Arlo NA GMS 'i 0 U tu H xg ' W .N K . 1 Y. -mir 3 . f .1 JP' ' 4 if ' 1 i s 'rs A s 2-2 M is 1-v ,. t V ky,. t s,1w if l'ts Q i K 22 I A X i iz Mae Eisenberg Marion Hammond Leanore Kramer Barry Miller Bonnie Rudolph Norma Fink Eleanor Huster Kay Lieberman George Reichling Marie Schaeffer PhYll15 Hcfisfield Miriam Kaiser lohn Marian Rose Marie Reilley Helen Silverman Mrs. Alfred Leggoe President BIG FUUR FIITHEIIS' IISSUCIIITIUII We, the Iune '49 Class extend our thanks to the Big Four Fathers' Association.
