Olney High School - Trojan Yearbook (Philadelphia, PA)

Text from Pages 1 - 90 of the 1951 volume:

fi' jf OLNEY PHILADELPHIA JR 'AN r di Q GH SC ANIA 35 W ffl .J I f l THEME E, the Trojan Staff of Iune 1951, are proud to state that we are centering our Yearbook around the immortal bard, William Shakespeare. We all have made his acquaintance here at Olney where his plays have left an indelible impression on our minds after having both amused us and confused us. Hundreds of years have gone by since Shake- speare Wrote his first lines, but his plays, characters, and quotations pare known the world over. For this reason we have decided to let him make our Year- book, to let him direct us with his words of wisdom. Therefore, we present to you the memories of our Brief Hour Upon The Stagef, our Comedy of Errorsf, our High School career. 2 7 ,I p oy.. .

'A great teacher never diesf, When one is master of a subject, skilled in imparting it, gifted with power to draw forth latent talent in his pupils and to nur- ture within them an ever-developing creative genius which un- folds into master power of their own-then the pattern of the teacher's life goes on and on in the repeated successes of those he has taught. Charles McCann's life was a grand success. He lived and taught in an atmosphere of friendly interest, of tactful guidance, of sincere, but authoritative discipline and leadership. He re- quired work of such a high standard that a pupil had to be practically a genius to get an A . But when a student moved on to become a recognized designer, artist, or sculptor, as many men and women did under the inspiration of his teaching, appre- ciation of his high standard of work was gratefully expressed. His later years were filled with giving himself to the thing he loved most-persuading others to find in line, depth, and color, the beauty of nature, and in urging them to try to find an outlet in self-expression, for the inner appreciation of art. Charles Barton McCann was a great teacher. 4 CHARLES BARTON MCCANN 5 OUR SPONSORS As our high school days draw to a close we, the gradu- ating seniors find ourselves silently thanking all those who have made our stay at Olney so wonderful. Prob- ably we find ourselves thanking especially our sponsors, Mrs. Loveland and Mr. Glass, for it was they who made sure our prom was such a memorable affair, and saw to it that we had fun on our class trip. Mrs. Loveland, we shall remember as the teacher al- ways enthusiastic about some new project, always will- ing to try something different. Without her perhaps we might not have attempted so many rewarding enter- prises. To Mr. Glass we are especially indebted for his steady- ing influence. It was he who always warned us to think twice before undertaking a doubtful venture. To him we are grateful for making us realize our responsibilities in all that we did. We can never really thank either sponsor enough. We, the class of june 1951 only hope that this small, but sincere tribute will be for them always a token of our deep appreciation and friendship. 6 CEHTRUDE LOVELAND MAX GLASS THE TROJAN IN THE MAKING X .

We see our- selves as glowing, eager freshmen, viewing with scorn the many seniors who took advantage of our inexperience. How we longed to be seniors so that we in turn could badger entering freshmen! The many trials and tribulations which we endured as beginners at Olney have now become fond memories. Running down five flights of stairs to get to Gym on time, eating lunch and at the same time checking to see that the tables were cleared Koh-to be a captainj, or trudg- ing wearily to a fourth floor locker are the many experiences which seem humorous to us now as we prepare to leave Olney. We can remember, too, the hours and hours of homework. We felt that our teachers did not always pity us and there were many times when we believed that they were entirely without mercy. But now, as we recall many things, we realize that the trials of the freshman year, the homework, and the many tests all played an important part in our development. We are particularly conscious of the careful guidance of our teachers without whose help we could not have been successful. We are grateful to the librarians who diligently hunted down a book with us for English class, the counsellors who helped us decide what career we were best suited for or what college to attend after graduation, and our principal whose able leadership has aided us so much in the past few years. Their untiring efforts have played an essential role in changing us from timid, immature freshmen to confident, alert seniors who are prepared to face the world and future responsibility. 12 Q ? w 13 1 y.

HAINES Within the plays of Shakespeare is found probably the greatest assortment and diversity of characters ever depicted by one writer. The impatient lover, the crafty liar, the wily cheat, the simple butfoon, the cowardly courtier, the stern unrelenting Shylock, the desperate Hamlet-all are revealed in stark reality by the words they utter and the actions they take. No words have more aptly expressed the great virtue of moral integrity, sin- cerity and honesty of character than those in which Polonius exhorts Laertes with the following: T his above all: To thine own self be true, And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man. You have reached a time and place for important decision. A variety of choices in work, companions, recreation, and other courses of action lie before you. But all these are much less important than the resolution never to waver from an absolute code of honor and decency with yourself and others. Integrity of character, if you maintain it, will bring inner strength, exaltation of spirit, and the calm courage to endure now and always any difficulty that arises. ee I 0 05 'ig' X 3 0 N q H W W iii N V ' ' H' 'HIIVV W' ' ' 'LW' ' V'HlV' 7 Vflxxxxf 'YU' ' Val' ' WYWBFUPKKHYVIYUWB VICE PRI CIPALS WALTER B.

Almost every member of our class has, at some time, depended upon the helpful, encouraging advice which these two fine people have always been so willing to offer. l s Mrs. Fink's warm smile and friendly hellov, and Dr. Greenwood's sense of humor have earned permanent places in our high school memories.

When a student becomes an alumnus of Olney, there is always a desire to re- tain the friendships of those with Whom he has associated during his stay in high school. This is made possible through our Alumni Association. Besides keeping old acquaintances, the association offers many opportunities to make new ones. Among the activities you will find dances, boat-rides, outings, and in the summer, swims. Moreover, the Alumni Association has a great interest in the activities of the school itself. It presents outstanding students with awards at graduation, and trophies for sports. If you are active in sports, there are various Alumni teams which you may join. On the whole, the Alumni Association promotes the lasting friendships which were begun during the years at Olney. 21 BIG FOUR FATHERS' ASSOCIATION Vice-President EDWARD DUNBAR Secretary W1LL1AM P. KINSLEY Treasurer HERBERT P. SPARKS President ROBERT F. BARANDON 'Tis a happy thing To be the father unto many sons. The Big Four Fathers is an organization which has rendered much service to Olney, our school, and community. The group is composed of fathers, neighbors, and friends who have performed invaluable service to us. The Big Four Fathers have, since their organization in 1925, aided us in establishing our athletic field and library. More recently they have established a fund for a scholarship which is awarded each semester. Thus, a member of the class of Iune 1951 will be counted among the many recipients of The Four Fathers good work. For this aid and for all the rest we wish to express a most sincere Thank youf, 22 MOTHERS' GROUP lst Vice-President. .,,,.,....... MRS. A. C. SPANGLER 2nd Vzce-Preszdent .............,...,.,.. Mas.

KREBS How far that little candle throws its beams! So shines a good deed in a naughty world? Our Mothers Group of Olney High School does many good deeds that shine throughout our school and community. Our mothers and friends who are inter- ested in education, in community life, in helping the school, and in keeping con- tact with their adolescent oltspring have been Shakespeare's candle softly throw- ing its beams to light us on our way through Olney. In recent years they have contributed generously to a major charity drive each term. They have helped to buy our choir and band uniforms, they contribute to the student welfare scholarship. This group works in such a quiet, unpublicized way that we seldom hear about it. But we do know that we have this organization and that it is ready to be a mother to the school as the members, individually, are mothers to us. We know it is a working part of Olney that we can not and will not forget. 23 r:-Q. S. A. Sponsors ROBERT TROPEA ROBERT H. SEI-IL HELEN E. HASENEUS S. A. Ojjqcers.

No, Olney's clubs are not rare accidentsf' but they are awishld for diversions from our every day work. They are to us playing holidays which we never tire of. They are offered to us as presents. If we accept, we find we have been given something really worth while. If we refuse, if we fail to open our present, we never know what we have missed-tho, we know that we have missed something. Can you imagine how dull our years at Olney would have been with just ,readin,, ,ritin', and 'rithmeticl' We needed and wanted our clubs to give us that something else-that something which is school, but is different and enjoyable. When can we again Hnd groups of people our own age who are interested in the same things We are? In the after graduation world we shall have to seek such groups. Here at Olney they are ours, ours to take advantage of. We, in the graduation class, have taken advantage of our clubs because we know that as Shakespeare once said, T here is a tide in the affairs of men, Which taken at the flood, leads on to fortune, Omitted, all the voyage of their life Is bound in shallows, and in miseries. On such a full sea are we now afloatg And we must take the current when it serves, Or lose our venturesf' Yes, we have taken the current, and, with good fortune, we shall not lose our venturesf' 32 4? l, I RWD mwifv fyf - . ...-. -,. ..- 33 :x iffy i 4 I . x gf, f ,QPL'j'fA X .

Looking back over the years we find that in early March, 1931, five boys who had been transferred to the Olney High School from German- town, Northeast, and Frankford approached Mr. Weiler and asked him to assume the leadership of the club. Mr. Weiler accepted and acted as the ad- visor for the Hi-Y until very recent years. The Hrst members met on a Tuesday night at 8 oiclock in the back room of a church at Fairhill and Chew Streets. The boys have met on Tuesday night at 8 ever since. Among the boys at this first meeting were Louis Diede, the first president, Harry Vollmer, Carl Maish, Bill Loesche, Ben Diest, Henry Kosek, and Bob Rainey, the first S. A. president. During the second year the club met at the Germantown Y and has met there ever since. Mr. Clearwater, well loved by all his boys is now the sponsor of the Hi-Y-the fine club to which we all wish many more years of continued success. 55 SPORTS To business that we love we rise betime and go toit with delightn If you have ever been a member of any team or organization, you know how true this quotation is. You probably spent extra hours working with the organization. This is equally true as far as the members of our teams are con- cerned. These boys and girls spend much 'of their spare time practising to make their team top-notch, not because they feel obliged, but because they want to and they enjoy what they are doing. Because of their hard practise, they have given us teams of which we are proud, teams that have fought and have won for us. We as spectators, have watched these teams with delight. Often we, also, 'rose betimeu to get to the field an hourvearly in order to get good seats. Many were the times when we yelled so long and so loud that we went home hoarse, but often our conlidence in our team and our cheering helped decide the out- come of the game. There were times, of course, when our cheering wasn't enough and though We played hard, we did not emerge victorious. But, win or lose, our boys and girls had gained in the end. They had worked hard, played hard, but most important, had had fun. 56 -. x w. 1'-xN,l1 ,QSM xy, L-'ISM 'fkxmsxaxtsxk w mfg:-xx - Q . .X Qs,-Q55 -N N. - 'M Nw 'xg 'q '-ww-iv' -v 'wee'- -,-o-f ,.,.,.. 1- 57 , Gym Team The long anticipated winning of a Public League Championship by an Olney Gym Team became a reality as Olney gymnasts coppecl their 8th straight victory of the season by defeating Bartram and Benj. Franklin. The senior members of the team, with the able coaching of Mr. Harris, were instrumental in the defeat of such rivals as the traditionally powerful defending champions from Southern. The brilliant performances of Karl Schwenzfeier on the rings, the masterful gyrations of jim Wilson and the outstanding individual per- formances of Philip Becker, jim Kohl, Bob Morton, Sam Minichiello, Dick Swain and Russ Zimmer were the decisive elements in the formation of Olney,s truly great gymnastic champions. 58 'Basketball Team Many people judge a basketball team solely on its Won and lost record, but they overlook the long hours of work that go into the making of a basketball squad. The coach, Mr. Spielberg, the managers, Murray Caplan, jules Schein, and Ed Lick, and the star players, such as Lee Pitock, Frank Levin, Wally Shields and Charley Copper, devoted a large portion of their leisure time to practicing. When the team did well in the pre- season scrimmages, the outlook for a winning sea- son was good. But something happened, and the boys couldnit win consistently. The fans then be- came disgruntled and forgot that the team was trying its best to win. Although we canit boast of a winning team, we can boast of a fighting team, full of spirit and the will to win.

The Trojan Keglers, expertly coached by Mr. Marzzacco, and sparked by the excellent play- ing and leadership of captain joe Dougherty, had one of the finest seasons in the history of Olney High. Aided by the skillful bowling of such star players as Dick Casagrand, Mayer Stutman, and joe Ritter, the team ended their season with an average of 2390.5- the highest average achieved this year in the Public High School League. Then, as a culmination of an already fine season, the Trojan Keglers, in competition with all other teams in the Philadelphia area, won top honors in an annual tournament sponsored by the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin. In recognition of this triumphant victory, the team was presented with one of the most highly valued awards available to a bowl- ing team, the Bulletin Cupf, It is evident that the 1950-51 season for the Olney Bowling Team will justly go down in the record books as a great', season. 65 J ,.ggui1' 4,172 V I, Girls' Basketball Team Miss McPeak,s wonderful girls, basket- ball team has Won the urnythicalv city basket- ball cllampionsliip again this year.

In what other grade will a group of students be found gathered around a bulletin board heatedly debating which pin would be the best representative of their class? In what other year will the very difficult task of choosing superlatives from such a talented class confront the students than in the senior year? Cannot a senior be recognized immediately by the plaint, My pictures turned out horribly?,' At no other time during our stay at Olney can the magic of the Prom be surpassed, for nothing can equal the first anxieties and doubts two months before the dance, the feeling of pride and con- fidence when we were sure of our presence there, the excitement that is aroused a week before the Prom, and, finally, the enchanting incan- tation of the Prom night. It is only on our trip to Bear Mountain that We realize how much fun our classmates and advisors really are, and perhaps it is here that we begin regretting that We hadnit been a little more friendly to some who needed our kindness. And s0,from hour to hour we ripe and ripev preparing ourselves for the culmination of our high school career, the day on which we must leave the protection and guidance of Olney High School-our graduation. This last activity in which We, the seniors, participate is the most solemn and the one which arouses the deepest feelings, for it is our leave-taking, our farewell.

That famous gentleman once said: Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful Once again wonderful, and after that All out of whoopingf' How applicable these lines are to the feelings wc, as a 12A class, had on the night of January 12th and the week leading up to it. Excitement and anticipation prevailed. Boys, who during the school week were usu- ally unconscious of their clothes, began suddenly to worry which set of their fatheris studs to wear with thc rented tux. The always meticulous girls also had last minute headaches about the exact shade their shoes were dyed, the special hairdo that was so sophisticated, and the type of jewelry that would gov with their heavenly gowns. At last that wonderful, clear evening arrived. The crowd in the Crystal Ballroom of the Broadwood Hotel could hardly be recognized as the same that only a few hours earlier had paraded around in sport shirts and l 80 NX ,S-XA l it 1 il 1 . 1 I r ' x r l 4' .l SNAPS bobby socks. The music of the Ken Moore Karavan was wonderful, and in our hearts many of us were thinking, If music be the food of love, play onf' But all good things must end, so we all left the hotel to go to the various night clubs to lose, for the only time during this long evening, our individuality, and to become part of an enormous smoke-filled room in which practically every- one was groping for coke or lemonade straws and super club sandwiches. The next sequence was to make the rounds of the parties in the various sections of the city. The boys used gallons of gasoline, the girls ruined their gowns by step- ping through the hem, and in everyone,s mind ran the phrase, I have not slept one winkv. But sleep was not to come to us for many more hours for there were still the breakfast parties to attend from which there was enough food left to last the hostesses for five lunches the following week. We burned daylightv, and we finally decided to conclude the wonderful, wonderful evening by a quick trip to an automat and a kiss on the doorstep. 81 .. 1.m ,T H lr 'i ll H ll HM l 4r I JY-- SENIOR ' - 1E1z2ii225ixfz,:2gZ5w . , wfezgw www Wim,.W,2k,mf.,QT - ff,Lw1AQgQ,giEggg,fL .
