H 9.3515 THE I95Z LOG Published bg the Senior Class of Clifton Heights High School Clifton Heights, Pennsglvania Foreword To fly is the fulfillment of a dream dreamt since the time that mankind was very young. For thousands of years men have watched the graceful flight of birds and have yearned to soar into the blue themselves. Ancient legends often deal with winged supernatural beings, and even with men who tried to fly. And yet, as you read these words, it is only forty-nine years since Orville and Wilbur Wright lifted their crude, unwieldy plane off the blowing sands at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. Yes, aviation has developed and expanded with headlong speed into one of the largest of our major industries-an industry with a great future. During the last twelve years we have undergone a day by day preparation for our life in the outside world. We, too, are anxious to try our wings and gain the respect of the present generation. Looking back on all our precautions forahappy landing, we con- fidently chose aviation as our theme. Administration Seniors .... Underclassmen Activities . . Sports . . Classified . . I Contents 2 it J, ' L Dedication A word to the wise is sufficient . . . A job worth doing is a job worth doing well . . . Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Words like these make up the basic formula for a true Christian and democratic life. They are words vividly remembered, not because we read them or heard them eloquently spoken by a great orator, but instead, instilled in us by their daily appli- cation by a person no longer with us. To her, our beloved Miss Ethel M. Wright, we, the class of 1952, dedicate this Log. We remember her not only as one of the finest of teachers but also as a friend who was willing to help with our problems and anxious to raise our standards of living. It was under her guidance that we were taught, beside the regular subject matter, something even yet more vital to our daily lives: the way to be better individuals, morally and spiritually, by the application of the Golden Rule. Time cannot erase the impression she made on our minds . . . our hearts , . . our lives. A little bit of her staunch faith will always be with us and she will live on and on in our memories. 6 3 Appreciation We, the Class of 1952, with the deepest admiration and pride do humbly wish at this time to thank Mrs. jean Loos, our yearbook advisor. For it was through her tireless efforts, unlimited co-operation, and never-failing in- spiration that have made possible the publication of this year's Log. The task of editing such a yearbook is not an easy one. The many problems en- countered which are synonymous with such an undertaking were quickly diminished through her cheerfulness, understanding, and competent guidance. These few words written here could hardly convey our feelings, but we hope they will, in some small way, repay her for her efforts-efforts which were not wasted as evidenced by our fine yearbook. And so at this time, Mrs. Loos, we offer you our sincerest thanks and grateful appre- ciation for a job well done. N 7 Left to right: Mr. H. Garchinsky, Mr. C. Shillingford, Mr. C. McAdams, Dr. F. Rank, Mr. J. McDonald, Mr. E. Lippincott. Flight Chiefs In the background, guiding our ship, we find the efficient school board. Whenever trouble arose pertaining to the management of our plane or airport, we were always confident that our capable Flight Chiefs would make the trip smooth and trouble- free once more. Ever watchful for difficulties to arise, our Flight Chiefs paved the way for the trip. All repairs, large or small, were quickly effected to insure us, and all to follow, of flights of perfection.

It is this spirit which motivates American education today. The emphasis on education for use, rather than education for status, is a wholesome point of view. Your high school diploma is material evidence that you have completed specific requirements for graduation. How effective you make your leaming in helping you be- come a worthwhile member of society is the true test. Pride yourself in beingagood citizen. May luck and good fortune be your con- stant companions during life. Accept my well-wishes for a successful future. john I. Kushma Supervising Principal Administration lt is a pleasure to extend to each and everyone of you my congratulations and best wishes for the future as you finish your high school days here at Clifton Heights. Like many of the classes which have gone before you, you are entering a world filled with strife and uncertainty. How- ever, I feel you face the future unafraid, that you will recognize your responsibil- ities and accept themg that you will put to good use the lessons which you have learned here at Clifton Heights High School. I hope that as you live your futures, you will surpaw our expectations in making this a better world because of the training which you have received here at Clifton Heights. Joseph K.

Remedial and Library Flight Mechanics Handling the secretarial work of our air- port, Mrs. Brown can alwaysbe found busi- ly filing flight reports and planning sche- dules. A more capable stewardess could never be found, for she expertly handles the details which are so necessary for a successful flight. Airsickness was one thing which never bothered us for long, for we were soon placed in the efficient hands of our medical staff - Mrs. Mattern, Miss Davis, Dr. Rank and Dr. Pietsch. They always did their best to bring our heads out of the clouds and steer clear of future recurrences. In the course of our flight, we have become well acquainted with our capable janitorial staff, who keep our airport 'spic and span. Adding to the comfort of the passengers they have done a great deal to make our flight a pleasant one, and we shall always think of them as permanent crew members. The staff includes: Mr. George Feehan, Mr. Given Merkins, Mr. William Manuel, Mrs. Myrtle Merkins, Mrs. Mary Padley, and Mr. Charles Lindsay. I 3 3.1 '-1 Co-Pilots Webster defines the word pilot as one who guides or directs in a straight or safe course. What could be a more fitting description of our sponsors, Mrs. Calkins and Mr. Lester, who have carried out this important job at the plane 's controls so ably? Lacking the glamour attached to being a true airplane pilot, their sometimes thankless role challenged them to influence us in every phase of our high-school life. Now, as we glance back at former class activities, we are able to realize how much this guidance contributed to their success. just as pilots today are carefully selected and licensed, we feel we could not be more fortunate in having these two assigned to us. They have not only earned their wings, but also the greatest respect and appreciation of the entire class. 3 X g Xi L Xxe -Xt 13 ' 1, , 1 1' H, H V wif ,. .

Cbuv boys Qin Sho -r The Flight log The Class of '52 first met on September 15, 1949, to organize a three year flight through high school. We elected james Brown as our pilot, Samuel Viola as co-pilot, Nancy Rank as flight recorder, and Emma Qualata as travel check holder. Mrs. Romanofsky and Mr. Lester were to act as navigators. We took off with spirits flying high. On November 19, 1949, our plane, The Sopho- more, went into a tail spin and came up with the theme I Can Dream, Can't l for our Soph Hop. This terrific jolt caused us to bring our heads out of the clouds and make a forced landing. Needing money to buy gas to refuel our new plane, The junior, we set out to work selling magazine subscriptions. As soon as our wheels were off the ground, we proceeded to give the play lT'S A DATE which soared us to greater heights. Climbing to a higher altitude, we picked our class rings out of the nearest wishing cloud and celebrated this event by giving a spaghetti dinner. Since our appetites were satisfied, we sat back to enjoy the view when the Senior '51 zoomed past us. They saw we were in a gala mood so they radioed back and asked us to land to join them in a prom. With this to look forward to, we hurriedly taxied down the runway and ran smack into their plane. To help pay for the damages, we held a junior-Senior Recep- tion, which ended the year's flight. Having purchased a super colossal jet for our final trip, we employed Keith Rice as our new pilot, james Brown as co-pilot, Mary Ashton as flight recorder, and Emma Qualata as travel check holder. Mrs. Calkins replaced Mrs. Roman- ofsky as co-navigator. Since we were equipped with such a speedy plane, we planned a special flight to New York City. On the way, one of our guests, Mr. Tomasco, coached us in the successful play, MOTHER IS A FRESHMAN. Being thoroughly delighted with our stay in New York, we returned to Clifton Heights and decorated the hangar for the best junior-Senior Prom ever. We had hardly taken down the decorations when the juniors invited us to a recep- tion. lt wasn't long after this that we took our next to the last hop to Bacca- laureate Services on Sunday night. Following this, we took the last and most important hop to our never-to-be-forgotten Commencement and a happy landing. 46 ' :Q w b I ' ki9,g2gii?'3i,iT'ii?f -- ix , Q' 2 A +1 Q 2 QQ 'ww ffl? 55' d fd ' ' 253' - Jifviff,-fx Y i '11 wgiivzfzzffzinf 'eiaifliiggf 3 Qggglzffllii' ,wifi , 5122552171 g5aw,1f. , , x ,N 1w:1a.iz'fiflk . 29,21 fb :- fn 5' 3' xi Q 'mf 43 x ze g 'F 1 , ,fl I1 If .fry . .Q,'A 5 Ef f 1. , Wiwffi ,,.. , ,L-cuz . 4 , fy, , ,f,.f ., fe w,1g.fw.- ,g1,m,, :WYYHY if- r5!rWW157Yy'7:'fsi::-, 'E s ,f.:,.3,ggqgg,7,f.:,,g5 - '-wx, , - if 14 Underclassmen Our Passenger List-The Juniors The juniors started out their eleventh year with Mr. Tomasco and Mr. Canamucio as co- sponsors.

QR The chorus is composed of both junior and senior high students. Due to the rotation of clubs, the number of members fluctuates, the greatest number joining up for the holiday programs. Every year, the chorus presents two important programs, the Christmas pageant and the Easter program. This year, the drama- tization of the Christ Chi1d's birth was offered by the chorus along with a group of children from the elementary school. The Easter assembly was one of splendor and was enjoyed by the entire junior and senior high school. Sewing as a medium of student talent and rec- ognition, the school paper interprets news to the students. Its philosophy, 'of the student, by the student, and for the student, is evidenced 'by the fact that it acts as an educational laboratory for students who work on it. Arousing stimulation for good writing, the Oak Leaf is partially financed by the efforts of the staff and sponsor. By bringing students' names in print to the students, the Oak Leaf fulfills its objective and provides for the student body, as well as the staff, a worthwhile experience for growth. Editor ......

Yet, with the exception of the Eddystone game, which Clifton dropped 37-13, Coach Tomasco's charges actually held a statistical edge in first downs and total yardage in all contests. ' Unfortunately, the entire Rams' schedule is played under the 'old rule in which only final scores, not statistics, determine the victors, hence the poor season. Both Mr. Libertore and Mr. Tomasco believe this year's squad was capable of handling more than half the county schools. Says Coach Tomasco, There was nothing wrong with this year's squad that a good break in the scheduling wouldn't cure. lt was just unfortunate that six of the seven teams that toppled the Rams' footballers this past season ranked at the top of the listings in county scholastic circles for the '51 campaign. Perhaps the most glaring lack on the '51 football squad was that of experienced backs. Only joe DiPrinzio, fullback, and Anthony Serafine, quarterback, remained to form a nucleus for the back- field that was topheavy with newcomers from the freshman and sophomore classes. Up front, jack Traband, Len Lizut, Keith Rice, and Bill Kanuika gave the Rams a formidable array from tackle to tackle. At ends, Wasyl Saichuk and Pokey Edwards lent a capable hand, with Albert Froy and james Finn, next year's captain elect, sharing pivot duties in a steady manner. The tip-off on inexperience made itself manifest in the first set-to, which Clifton lost to Glen- Nor, 8-0, after yielding a minus total of 56 overall to the Indians. The '51 squad, however, garnered its share of glory when it tackled the vaunted Ridley Township Raiders in the first night game in the Rams' history. Playing before the largest crowd of the year, Clifton's linemen more than rose to the occasion by holding Ridley's offensive team, which averaged 40 points or better per game, to a single touchdown, and this only in the waning minutes of the contest. 64 Yes, these boys etched their names in the school's grid annals by their performance that night. DiPrinzio's efforts were so outstanding that on the basis of his performance in this game alone, he was selected 'back of the week' by the Delaware County Coaches' Association. Clifton's love win was a 19-13 triumph over its neighbors from Springfield. In addition to the Glen-Nor, Ridley Toumship, and Eddystone games, the Rams yielded to Prospect Park, Upper Chi- chester, Collingdale, and Darby. Both Mr. Libertore and Mr. Tomasco feel that any squad that loses such standouts as the gradu- ating players is bound to feel the jarring effects next campaign. However, the past year brought out some new talent that won't approach this past year's squad in size, but has the traditional old Clifton fight. Outstanding among the new faces are Lou Lombardo, joe DeLalla, Paul DiPangrazio, Henry Kwiatkowski, john Snader, jim Martinick, Gene Toracchio, Hassel Hill, Al DePietro, Bill Bat- tista, and Ed DiFranks. john Gosnay, a late starter, could be a dark horse next season, The Rams' coaching staff is not looking for miracles, but do expect the '52 squad to make itself felt. The coaches are not despairing over the lack of size so long as that Clifton determina- tion to win sticks for the coming campaign. To the graduating members of the '51 squad both Mr. Tomasco and Mr. Libertore extend their thanks for the cooperation they have received and express their best wishes for the gridders' success in the future.

Collingdalc .... Home Nov. Darby .... . . Away The 1951 varsity squad started their successful season at Miss C. Applebee's Pocono Hockey Camp. Much credit is due to the magnificent training the girls received at camp, and of course, to the ample coaching received from Mrs. jack- son. There was no one outstanding player this year. Every player put her heart into each and every game she played. lt was this spirit and determi- nation that enabled them to finish their season undefeated, and first in Delaware County. The girls started with a bang by overthrowing Prospect Park 2-0, From then on the victory ball rolled quite rapidly, slowing up only for the hard fought and well won encounters with Darby and Springfield. We will always remember the spirited varsity of 1951: Lorraine White, our junior left-wing who did a marvelous job in an extremely difficult position. Ruth jergensen, left-inner, our most con- sistent line player. We will never forget those smashing goals that she made. Barbara Hasselman, converted center forward and high scorer. Barb's skillful bullying was always a pleasure to watch. Mildred Bennett, right-inner, was a valuable asset to her teammates. Her beautifully ex- ecuted flicks set up many a goal. Terry Rinaldi, our busy right wing. Can't you still hear Mrs. jackson saying, Hurry up, Ter- ry! '? jo-Ann Drumheller, left halfback, who did a terrific job in distributing the ball to the for- ward line. Ann-Marie Clarkson, center halfback. Without this junior's accurate and smashing drives we never could have finished undefeated. Gerry Holcombe, right-half, co-captain and varsity member for three years. Gerry's un- bounding energy was an inspiration to every- 0116. Mary Martinick, strong left-full who dampened many an opponent's hopes for an easy goal. Unforgettable will be her stall for time in the Springfield game. Anna Barrett, quick, aggressive right-full. Her clever tackles and burning drives will long be remembered. Mary Ashton, determined and aggressive goal- keeper, co-captain and holder of varsity berth for four years. Ethel Dunn, efficient manager who plugged successfully through the tough job of keeping the team's equipment in tip top shape. Hockey season marked the end of Mrs. jack- son's reign as coach of Clifton Heights High girls. Her guidance, understanding and sincere friendship have made a lasting impression on the hearts and minds of 'her girls. She has won the respect and admiration of all her students and fellow workers through genuine concem and con- sideration in everything she has undertaken. Mrs. jackson's warm smile and bubbling personality are sorely missed by all who knew her and fondly dubbed her -- Coachl The scrapping l.V.'s are not to be forgotten. This hard hitting squad produced a better than average record of seven wins and one loss. Out- standing for the J. V.'s are B. Marsh, high scorer for 19513 D. Roberta, E. Blagbrough, L. Barrett, and N. Redfern. Keep up the good work, team, and lots of luck to next year's hockeyists from the Seniors of 1952. Wings 0n Their Feet Varsity 3 C.H.

DeLal1a, J. Kornik, K. Rice, C. Davis, J, DiPoalo, W. Bush, Absent: Coach J. Wise, J. Traband. When Mr. Wise called his chargers together for their first practice he was confronted with the task of rebuilding. Four of last year's starting five had graduated, and the few returning senior players had comparatively little experience. The coach did an excellent job with the mate- rial he had, and produced a starting quintet con- sisting of Chubby Davis, Sonny DiPoalo, joe De- Lalla, Lou Lombardo, and Hassel Hill. They were assisted by john Kornik and Anthony Serafino. These men made up a very well-balanced team. Long remembered will be the superb set-shots of Davis, the relentless striving power of DiPoalo and Lombardo, and the excellent backboard con- trol executed by DeLalla and Hill. The men mentioned before were starters in a general sense. Mr. Wise alternated his men con- tinually, and so we cannot neglect the senior members of the squad. This group, headed by Lonnie McNamee, who played outstanding ball all year, consisted of jack Traband, jim Crawford, Walt Bush, and Keith Rice -all exceptional team men. Although the boys did not win the greater per- centage of their games, they were always victors of the hearts. These boys played under the two biggest difficulties known to basketball players- lack of height and inexperience. The Rams learned how to lose with a smile, and to fully appreciate the meaning of the word victory. Their undaunted courage and supreme sportsman- ship were always a cause for pride and comment. Standing with ball: J. Snaderg Guarding: V. Martinicchio, Coach Liber- tore instructing in background. Seated, left to right: P. DiPangrazio, J. Ratyna, E. DiFranks, J. Sproul. Standing: R. Jones, A.

These scrappy players have accumulated a very fine record. Starring for the junior Rams is the tall, lanky center, Harry Mucha, sharp shooter Gene Toracchio, and stalwart Paul DiPangrazio. With these, and other fine players returning to mix experience with fighting spirit, next year's teams will have a very successful season. Clifton 15 . . . Sharon Hill 25 Clifton ll . . .

Make Wag For Shooting Stars The whistle blows and we see Betty Teeney waiting to receive the ball from Miss Hughes, new coach of the Clifton girls. Teeney passes to Lorraine White who hands to Ann Marie Clarkson quickly. Swish-Clarkson has sunk another of her beautiful set shots. As the game progresses, we notice with pride the hook shots of Teeney and the expert floor work of White. Switching to the defensive half of the court, we see guards Kondyra, Ashton, Barrett, Holcombe, Bennett, and jergensen battling valiantly for varsity positions. Under the excellent supervision of Miss Marilyn Hughes, the varsity squad came out very near the top of the league. Playing their last year for Clifton are guards Mary Ashton, Pat Kondyra, Gerry Hol- combe, Ruth jergensen, and Millie Bennett. These girls will be sorely missed by future teams because of their decisive defensive ability, blazing determination, and driving optimism. Executing a sparkling game for the junior varsity we saw Sonya Resuk, janet jacob- sen, Dolores Roberta, Lois Barrett, jo-Ann Drumheller, Barbara Marsh, and Antoinette DeL.alla. These fighting girls will provide the nucleus for future winning squads. 7I Full Speed Ahead 1952 marked the second year that baseball was included on C1ifton's sport's roster. Mr. Nicky Di- Franks again coached the team, 'which plays in Suburban Section IV. With the 5l season serving mainly as experience, the current year can be rated as being successful. Outside of the very strong Upper Chi nine, Clifton was on the same level as its opponents. Like them, Clifton lost a good percentage of valuable players from last year's team. Spotlighted this year were standout games with Springfield, Sharon Hill, Marple Newtown, and Nether Providence. Also included in this season's schedule were several non-league games with Lansdowne, Yeadon, and other local ball clubs. Coach DiFranks will miss the seniors-Don Bar- rett, Len Lizut, Don Small, Walt Bush, jim Kruetz- feldt, Lonnie McNamee -next year. LES X Air Antics At the first sign of a spring thaw, Clifton lassies were again ready to invade the premature world of women's lacrosse. Lacrosse is a comparatively new game to our United States.. It is a sport that required all of its players to possess qualities of extreme skill and durability. Lacrosse is a sport that is not easily conquered or mastered. Despite these high stan- dards, it is very popular with the Ramettes. The past teams have played well. They have ad- vanced as far as a semi-final standing in tourna- ments. With such an outstanding record and six returning letterwinners to inspire them, the la- crosse team of 1952 had a very prosperous and successful season. Their schedule included such schools as Radnor, Swarthmore, Marple Newtown, Springfield fMont. Co.D, Haverford, and Sanford Prep. Lacking neither experience nor skill, the Ramettes proved themselves a fine-playing team. The Candidates for the 1952 Lacrosse Season ir 1' .31 -' my Q l 1 K ------:T YK .- sig?

Mounting the steps leading to the si1vership,l am met by a cheerful stewardess, who is none other than Millie Bennett. She smilingly indicates my Seat. After a smooth take-off, I unfasten my safety belt and settle back to read my paper. To my surprise, I see on the front page apicture of Leonard Lizut, prominent financier, and his secre- tary Amelia Vivaldi, just leaving their downtown office in New York. Other prominent Clifton- ites dominate the news section I quickly see. lack Gilmore of Gilmobiles, Inc., is said to be worth another million. l hear he 's employing several of his former claxmates. Jeanette Mucha, Mary Martinick, and Dolores Friel are his private secretaries, Barbara Hall his head bookkeeper, and joan Manley his receptionist. Glancing out the window, I notice a large building below which is being constructed by Battista Enterprises. It was designed by the combined efforts of james DePietro and Walter Bush, and is to house the offices of Brown Drugs Inc., a large string of drug stores headed by james Brovm. Returning to my paper, I read that Bill Billington has developed a very startling change in chicken raising, and that he is being honored by the Poultry Growers of America. Dr. Albert Froy, renowned surgeon, has just perfecteda way to operate without an incision. What next? Captain joseph Walker, U.S.N., has been decorated for outstanding service in the Antarctic. james Kruetzfeldt, noted explorer and naturalist, is still exploring the headwaters of the newly- discovered Ug Ug River.

Now let's see my favorite column, Sports Data, by the well-known sportscaster, Andy Dezio. Well, the Eagles expect a good season this year with Bill Kanuika and jack Traband back in the line-up. jim Crawford, starpunter of the Green and Whites is returning to continue his great record. Patty Kondyra is still on the Women's All-American basketball team. Don Small, top pitcher for the Phillies, received a pay boost after finishing a terrific season in the majors. Don Barrett, also of the Whiz Kids, has been nominated Player of the Year after completing his ninth year at third base. Mary Ashton's hockey camp is still tuming out All-Americans, while Gerry Holcombe 's team just completed its fifth undefeated season. Lonnie McNamee's gridders are top stuff in the 'big ten . Wild Bill Clarkson has just won his second Indianapolis Speedway Race in a car designed by Wasyl Saichuk. Well, see you folks tomorrow with more of this and that in the sports world.
