LORENZ It is a pleasure to find among us a person who is always willing to advise us with graciousness and kindness. Such a person is Mrs. Katherine R. Lorenz, to whom we dedicate our year book, The Echo. As adviser to our class for three years, Mrs. Lorenz has earned our admiration and respect for the patient and understanding way she has guided . . . . . . h h us. Not only has she encouraged us to initiate many aClIlVlt16S, but s e as also enabled us to achieve success in their accomplishment. Although she has devoted much time to our numerous class projects, she has also acted competently as instructor of history and as adviser to our chapter of the National Honor Society. We will always recall with gratitude her deep interest in us as an adviser and as an instructor.

As we of the class of 1952 prepare to accept the momentous challenge of adulthood, let us pause together for one final retrospect of the past three years. During this relatively short span of time, we have undergone a unique tran- sition, from anxious, uncertain sophomores to eager and assured seniors. The initial stage of this metamorphosis oc- curred in the fall of 1949 when our class was tflicially chartered. Augustus Butera was in- stalled as class president, and his earnest leader- ship throughout that sophomore year, and in future years, thoroughly justified his election. Our faculty supervisors that year were Mrs. Marie Waldman, who advised us until her resig- Seniors taking advantage of a well-stocked library.

Three major projects-the annual sale of fruit cakes, the sale of football pins, and the sell- ing of blue and gold mittens, enabled us to lay n solvent financial foundation for the future. ln September, 1950, the second phase of our development took place when we began mapping plans for our junior year with the attentive guidance of Mrs. Lorenz and Mrs. Eleanor DeGeorge. Football schedule pencils, Christmas cards and writing paper were sold to further increase our treasury.

Class rings were selected and ordered before Thanksgiving, and were received in Feb- ruary. ln April we sponsored a spring dance to culminate the acivities of an ambitious junior year. Last September, with a tingle of expectancy, we assumed the status of seniors and prepared to conclude our three-year cycle of life at C. H. S. Counseled by Mrs. Lorenz and Mrs. Webber, we took immediate steps to augment our class funds. While our undefeated football team was making gridiron history, we launched a maga- zine subscription campaign that proved to be Mr. Town's Economics class. I 2 S.

The month of March was highlighted by our class dance. After paying a three-day educational visit to our nation's capital in early April, we saw our class dramatists stage a delightful play under Miss Catherine Higgins capable direction. Our gala social event the Senior Prom, was held on the evening of Friday, May 23. On the after- noon of May 29 we assembled in the auditorium for Class Day Exercises. Baccalaureate Service was conducted on the evening of June 1 and Eve nights later we were granted diplomas at Commencement.

YOUNG General Course General Course Baseball Manager Through the continual experimenting of Alan fThunderJ Speaker, mad scientist and in- ventor, and his able assistant, Bernard Sukalski, I was able to make my visit to good old Conshy on Speaker's new atomic Space ship. I was quite surprised that Alan had Patsy Cobourn and Jane Kushla as his stewardesses. Before landing in Conshohocken I was amazed at the change that had taken place in West Conshohocken. Upon inquiry I was in- formed that the Phillips Oil Refinery had taken over West Conshyg of course this concern is owned and operated by Clifford Phillips, who bought out the multimillionaire dude, Lawrence Ruth. When I entered the tremendous city of Con- shohocken proper, the aroma made'my mouth water. Suddenly I realized it must be the nation- ally known Slavic's candy plant. I have heard that the assistant manager is Diane Slavic. After I left Speaker's atomic Space ship at the Pleasant Valley Airport, I walked up the main street. I was startled to see the gigantic Joseph Romano, chief of police, directing trallic. As I walked over to speak to Joe, I was nearly run over by a hot rod driven by Gerald Eliff. Joe told me later that Gerald has high hopes of winning the Indianapolis race this year. I stopped then in the magnificent Colden Cup Club, which is owned by Vincent Abbonizio, the fabulous night club king. He invited me to stay for the show which, for a limited time only, features Walter Messinger, the great singer of this era. His accompanist is Naomi Faust. The nationally known reed trio is also performing there. It is comprised of Don Lewis, James Groves and Eugene Lenzi. Dorothy Laubert is an additional attraction. I had to leave after enjoying the floor show which had in its chorus several of our old class We our ideals through mates: Anna Mae Houck, Bernice Sylawa, and Elaine Pierson. Grace Young, Dolores Durkin, Marie D'Ippolito, and Lois Ramsey presented a Sputter Jug dance. The food, prepared by chef Edward Golas, was delicious. Jean Valen- tine, the hat girl, waved to me as I was leaving. As I stepped out on the main street, a cara- van of cars was proceeding up Fayette Street with Mayor Zane Traister, waving at the throngs gathered to see their newly elected mayor. He was accompanied by his campaign managers, Lola Dean and Rita Imbastaro. The neon sign of the Ultra Ray Modern Beauty Salon nearly blinded me. As I passed, I recognized the owner as none other than Roberta Beard. I hurried into the shop and was greeted by Lena Miscioscia and Ella Mary Smith, two of Roberta's assistants. Farther along, by the main business section, I found William Adair's Travel Bureau a busy place. William was glad to see me. He left his secretary, Victoria Gambone, to finish some work while he and I went to lunch. He told me he specializes in trips to England and that his chief atomic jet pilot is Richard Arndt. We arrived at our destination, Flo's Lunch- eonette, owned by the experienced soda jerk, Florence Rozecki. Her chief waitresses are Rose The mad rush to the lockers. Flocco and Helen Reed. I departed, leaving Adair at lunch, as I had to continue my tour of Conshohocken. I decided to pay a visit to the University of Conshohocken. As I approached it, I noticed the television build- ing. I took a few minutes to pay my regards to Harry Weidamoyer who has taken over Milton Berle's old show and livened it up considerably with his antics, and by the addition of June Higgs, chief comedienne. At the University, I found Morris Johnson, the head of the music department at the Univer- sity, rehearsing with his nationally known 1000- piece band. I also met Edward Paliecheskey, the head of the coaching staff at the University. His football team hasn't lost a game in five years. The Dean of Women whom I saw was Jean Gilmore. Edward Harrison's famous dancing school has put Arthur Murray out of business. Some of his instructors are Joyce Rutter, Frances Di- Donato, and Marie DeVitis. My last glimpse of Conshohocken as we sped away in the supersonic space ship was a blaze of light, spelling in shorthand, Floyd Pachella Secretarial School, and its advertising slogan, Where the need of speed is heeded.

The sparkling three-act comedy, painstakingly directed by Miss Catherine Higgins. was ac- corded a warm reception. During their mothers unexplained absence from home. Pat Maxwell persuaded brother Dick and sister Dorothy to accommodate tourists in their partially vacant home to help balance the family's sagging budget. However. the con- glomeration of persons who responded to the Maxwell Tourist sign. incurred the dissent of Mamie Beggs, suspicious housekeeper for the Maxwell clan. When Mamie was stricken by an illness diagnosed as measles. the house was quar- antined. During this imposed confinement. love blossomed between Dot Maxwell and Michael Street. a handsome transient. After the enigma of the Wilsons tthe other guests t was solved, Mamie's real malady was found to be straw- berry rash. Simultaneously, however, the attrac- tive Annabelle Wilson came down with a bona fide case of measles, and a fortnight of quaran- tine was in prospect at the final closing of the curtain.

Nancy Weldie portrayed Evalyn Thomas, a junior miss with a problem, her younger sister Beatie lNancy Bergerl. Her match-making mother 4Rita Rossi? attempted to a start a romance, not only between Evalyn and Philip Wallace 1Arthur Freasb, son of her old school chum Dorothy Wal- lace Hudith Jamisont, but also between Dorothy and Mr. Thomas's 4Pasquale DePalmaJ bachelor brother, Alan. played by Ronald Chelli. Evalynis best friend, Violet Ray lCarol Lee Bergeyj, lisped her way through the play and her attempts to get a date with the woman-hater, Stewart Caldwell fDonald Hanrahanl. The maid Zenobia Uudy Quiggl, as funny as her name, and Evalyn's two harassed suitors, Irvin Fraiser and Howard Fields, played by Ronald Tenaro and Carl MacFarlane, helped the play to its happy ending.

' Winning everyone of the nine games on their schedule, the 1951 varsity football team recorded the first unbeaten, untied pigskin cam- paign in school history. The unvanquished Blue and Gold eleven was coached by Vincent Bon- koski and Ray Weaver, the former being the same 'gBounce Bonkoski who, in 1930, cap- tained the C.H.S. gridders to an unbeaten-once tied season. Often using an explosive Split-T attacking pattern, the Colden Bears outscored their oppo- nents 257-68. ln four of their nine matches, the Bruins held the opposition scoreless while rolling up convincing scores. P.S.D., Berwyn, Phoenixville. Darby, and Saint lVlatthew's were the teams which escaped scoreless defeats at the paws of the Bears. The season was opened in promising style with a 2b-0 conquest of the Springfield Spar- tans at Center Stadium. After intensive pre-sea- son practice at Camp Conrad Weiser, the Bears unleashed a flashy attack which produced a touchdown in each period. A week later. the P.S.D. Panthers fell prey to a six touchdown outbreak sparked by Russ Graham and Sug Smith, which annexed a 38-12 triumph for our fast stepping Grizzlies. Squeaking by for their closest win of the season, the Bears decisioned a powerful Berwyn squad by the margin of one extra point. The visiting Bulldogs held the lead in the early stages of each half but two determined comebacks by the spirited Bruins earned a 13-12 verdict. An aggressive Bearpack undertook a suc- cessful invasion of Bristol the first week in October and clawed the Warriors into submis- sion by a decisive 31-0 count. Bridgeporfs Dragons ventured into Center Stadium snorting fire but were slain 32-0. Early in the game, Ted Speaker recovered a Dragon fumble and blocked a punt to set up two touch- downs.

A .x .J I ?.f r - 3U 4 ln their initial daylight game of the 1951 season. the Bears humbled Upper lVlerion 34--0 on the Spartans gridiron. Harnessing the hosts' heralded passing game. the Bruins scored with ease in every period. Thirsting to avenge their upset-loss at Cen- ter Stadium in 1950 which spoiled an unde- feated season. Phoenixville scored early on the visiting Bears and had a second touchdown nul- lified because of a clipping penalty before the Grizzlies came to life with two T.D.'s in the second half to overcome a 0-0 deficit and prevail 12-0. After a soothing open date. the victory-hun- gry Bears resumed their gridiron agenda by stomping Darby 25-12 at Center Stadium. The C.H.S. offense stuck to the ground most of the evening. registering 18 first downs to the Rams' I' J. The Golden Bears climaxed their history- niaking season on Thanksgiving morning by shattering Saint Matthews Mirrors with a light- ning-like attack that ran up a 40-6 first-half lead. Coach Bonkoski inserted his second and third teams in the second half. and the final score read 46-26. The unbeaten and untied Bears were cap- tained by Jimmy Groves, the right tackle, and fullback Russell Graham. OPP.

After two successive defeats in as many starts, the Bears suddenly acquired winning ways. Tripping Glen-Nor. Ridley Park, and Phoenixville, the proteges of Hal Beyer and Ray Weaver appeared to be swinging into high gear in late-Aprilg their eyes glued on the diamond championship of Section 3. Ed Paliescheskkey was doing an efficient job around first base as the Bruins started their stretch drive, with Wolfe and Dempsey splitting duty at second. Ken Heist attended to the shortstopping while Vince Giorgio showed constant improvement at the hot corner. Ted Speaker's hitting and peerless patrolling of centerfield established him as the Bears, stellar outfielder. Lefty George Tancini and right-hander Joe Cravinese handled the hill duty well with ,lack Rio behind the plate. ht.-' A V ' ,,- --f . , B Z!
