This is the genie who has protected and guided us during our high school years. Through toil and strife, through joy and happi- ness, he has presided over our destiny. He has witnessed the period of our life, when we were just be- ginning to realize the value of an education, until the time when we accepted and recognized it with full understanding. He has seen us grow in character, mind, and ability, as well as in body. As we, the seniors of Bensalem High School, make use of the knowledge and wisdom we have developed during these past twelve years, our friend, the genie, guides us into the land of the future, which opens before us. Once there, we can establish in our minds the priceless influ- ence which has succeeded in making its presence felt. YEARBOOK STAFF EDITOR AA,,,,,,................ -..,v,,..,.

With the enthusiastic effort of their able offi- cers and advisors, this class sponsored the first dance of the year, which was a rollicking successg received their school ringsg and sponsored the much anticipated Junior-Senior Prom.

Steltzer. ln addition, they got a good start on their year- book by electing their officers early in the second semester, giving them a chance to make early plans. Best of luck to the Junior Class, and with the use of my clairvoyant powers, I can predict their forthcoming Senior year to be a very pleasurable one.

BOGARDE Although Bensalem didn't win all their games, they gained the much needed experience that they lacked. Sam Mudie and Bob Dwyer led our team in scoring with 25 and 18 points respectively. Each player on the team should be praised for his tireless efforts. J. DOERR W. BEESON S ESPOSITO T GLOYD AN TIME fl Coaches: R. WATERS C.

Wrestling is one of the coming sports of Lower Bucks County. The Owl matmen have a well- rounded team and considering this is only the second year of wres- tling at Bensalem, have made an impressive showing. Mr. Waters, ably assisted by Mr. Benshetler, has done a marvelous job with the boys. He has predict- ed a wrestling championship for Bensalem in the near future. The Wrestling team in action. One of the more popular sports at Bensalem is GIRL WATCHING. Participation by the boys is 1001 . There are two features about this game which make it so interest- ing: 1. Nobody ever loses. 2. It doesnit take much practice before you become an expert. As all well educated people will tell you, Mto observe is to broaden your knowl- edgef, But, even if the boys do not gain any knowledge from this sport, it is still good exer- cise for the eyes. .K Qin' . 3 we JI M? we KIRK 7 2455 I H, RUTECKI S. MUDIE C. C0 NN R. BREDBENNER How well I remember bas- ketball season. The Bensalem five were raring to bring a championship home to the stu- dents. Though they put their best efforts forward, they just couldnit seem to make it. They captured third place in the league with a record of nine wins and five losses. Jerry Weikel, captain of the team, held fourth place in the league for personal scoring. J. WEIKEL M. VAN HORN Captain Varsity Coach Reese Yeagle, a senior, was captain of the J.V. Squad. R. YEAGLE R. SHAUP Captain Junior Varsity Coach I I remember the most excit- ing game of the season. It was the night of January 18, 1957. We played Bristol on our home court. When the final buzzer had rung, Bensalem had won to the tune of 75 to 58. I must congratulate coach Van Horn on the outstanding job he has done on molding our team to be good sports, win or lose. T.

One of my favorite groups is the Cheerleaders. I worked rather close with the Co-cap- tains, Eileen Hughes and Lois Cortese, planning pep rallies, organizing cheers, and getting the crowds to cheer at the games.

One of these activities is the school newspaper. This year the publication was changed to a paper in place of the past book. With the change came a new name, Owlmanac. With the hard work that Gail Wernsing, Editor of the Owlmanac, gives and the effort that the staff constantly puts into the paper, the publication has been a great success in keeping the students up to date with the happenings at Bensalem. vm V S 4 I' :iw l It -lr f 'Q k'4 I1 it K N 3 I .Qi A K l Q e ,r-., f' -.i I 3 Au . , K .5 i s -' r p--. jwggisjg A ,N EQ., if 5 at ' '-'ai ,K N S 4. g gi- . f? r f? ,':.

I was very glad to do so. I have worked very close with the Editor. Charlotte Kirk. and I must comment that the class had made a wise choice selecting her for Editor of their yearbook. She. along with Mr. Fegely and Mr. Riley have put their best efforts forth to publish an outstanding yearbook. Congratulations, class of 1957. May you always page through this yearbook which holds wonderful memories of your high school days.

With the proper officers and members it has helped better student conditions. TEDDY STEELMAN Under the outstanding leadership of President Teddy Steelman, the Student Council has sponsored many activitiesg some of which have been NBlue and Gray Nightji and the All-School Play. Our school store has been enlarged and many students are enjoying its products. I think all of the members deserve credit for making our Student Council what it is today.

First 'Rt' and most important, was the election of Class Officers and the appointment of an Executive Committee to guide them through the coming year. Both of these groups functioned well and by their able direction the class proved to be successful at everything they attempted to do. Our biggest project was the Christmas Card sale. Seniors really went all out to make this sale successful. The lvy League Hop, a unique dance, turned out to be the best attended dance of the year. I' The Seniors will always be grateful for the guidance shown us by our class 3 advisors. Ig .i l, the Genie, will always remember with fondness, the class of 757. tx Liijvwisl ,t l ie., Y in .A I I .bfi-4'-fq-l5'Bal'?53if ,s v i ,nuM,,M,g p V Q tr, y 1 ' ,fi i . If .

JEAN EIJELMANN HENRY KAISER JUANITA MAY HUN UH STUDENT As the Genie has walked among the Class of '57 for the last four years, he has noticed certain members of the class that have been outstanding. They are the ones who have seemed to have the infinite ability to be a leader among their classmates, take an active part in school work, maintain a vigorous social life, and still top their fellow students in scholarship. The Genie and the Class of l957 are proud of these, our Honor Students. ,r..,.-ff JANE ESDALE CHARLOTTE KIRK DORIS REED THEODORA STEELMAN .Q Evvrvone awaits anxiouslv Hr the jumlgvs make the-ir final lll'f'iFi0I1 uf lu who will ln' 1-lwsf Quegn of THIS IS HEAVEN.
