DARBY SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL DARBY, PENNSYLVANIA V , -• pd ■ SCENE ■ ■ AROUND SCHOOL We. the graduates of Darby Senior High School, Class of 1949. have marked the progress of a century of adventure, advancement and history. We have read about, and experienced the past. We now know our mistakes and our successes. What the future holds for us. no one knows, but we are willing to forge ahead to meet and overcome all obstacles that threaten our progress. In the following pages we have endeavored to record little experiences that happened throughout our years of high school in such a way that it will be a pleasure to open this book and be back again roaming through the good old halls of Darby High. I 6 The Class of 49 is proud to dedicate this, our Yearbook, to Mr. J. Wallace Saner, B.S., M.A., University of Pennsylvania, Principal of Darby Senior High School. Through all our high school days you were an outstanding teacher, arbiter, and loyal friend—someone who was for us.” From you we obtained a sound foundation for success. Your democratic administration and teachings have been incentives to make us become better citizens. DEDICATION Because your chief concern has always been the students, you have guided many classes to success. We are privileged to be one of these classes. Although we cannot begin to express our sincere gratitude for all you constantly did for us, we humbly say, Thank you. SCHOOL BOARD William W. Horn President Chas. F. G. Smith Vice President To the Forty Niners: We, the School Board members of Darby School District, extend to you. the graduates of the Class of 1949, our congratulations and sincere wishes for a happy and prosperous future. A good education is a priceless possession and is the first step toward a higher goal, and if applied correctly should pay rich dividends. Whatever you undertake, do it to the best of your ability, and be assured that you will have no regrets. WILLIAM W. HORN. President. Harold W. Pugh Secretary James M. Boice Dr. E. V. Liberace Joseph W. Atkins T reasurer Percival C. Christie Walter R. Douthett Superintendent 11 9 SUPERINTENDENT To the Class of 1949: Mr. Walter R. Douthett, B.A., M.A. Superintendent of Schools Miss Bess Robson, B.S. Secretary to the Superintendent You, the members of the Class of 1949, were born in the early years of the great depression. During the brief span of your lives, you have seen stark privation, slow recovery, a reversion to slump the year you entered school, recovery through preparedness during your early elementary grades, war with parents in service or industry through your fifth to eighth grades, and four years of the greatest prosperity and productiveness our country has ever known. You have lived through a period in which organized society as represented by the state has come to accept more and more responsibility for your nurture and well-being, without which many of you would not be here to graduate. This unusual debt you owe for your possible existence and your education cannot be paid as much by your ability to earn as by your ability and willingness to help reorganize a divided world in such a way that you and all others may have a chance to earn and participate in a life free from fear of repression, unemployment and war. Your greatest danger is not in what you may do wrong but in what you fail to do at all. We send you out with the hope that the Darby Schools have helped you develop the ability and willingness to pay this debt. WALTER R. DOUTHETT. Superintendent of Schools. PRINCIPAL To the Class of 1949: I expect to pass through this world but once. Any good therefore that I can do, or any kindness that I can show to any fellow creature. let me do it now. Let me not defer or neglect it, for 1 shall not pass this way again. —Author Unknown. J. WALLACE SANER. Principal. Those who have shown us where Mrs. Olive Dimmick, B.A., M.Ed.

The squad, with voices reaching thin, screaming peaks, tried new cheers and formations at all of the thrilling athletic events. With all of that from September to March those indispensable lassies certainly earned the much-coveted D . DARBY May Hechler, Captain Back Row: C. Arnold. ). Car-son. M. Hechler, B. Ackerman, J.

The band added much to complete a perfect ‘'show” at the games. Orchids to Mr. Blyler for a fine job done. yv MUSICS the THING If music be the food of life,— play on.” Music is the essence of life. Following this premise, our school gave all those who wished it. unlimited opportunity to develop better musical ability. Our music lovers worked diligently to blend their instru ments and voices into beautiful and enjoyable melodies. Mr. Blyler and Mrs. Walter deserve much credit for the many hours spent with these future musical stars. STUDENT COUNCIL OFFICERS Frank Kent, Vice President Norma Hill. Secretary Eleanor Casassa, President Charles Wilson. Treasurer This organization was a perfect example of democracy in action. The will of the student body set the policy of our school government. Success was due chiefly to the high degree of coordination between the students and the Council. The highlight of our work was the student court established to deal out justice to those who violated our school laws. We did a great deal to sponsor assembly programs, dances, and drives to raise money for worthy causes. Our affiliation with the National Association of Student Councils, and the Philadelphia Council Association did much to make our local Council so successful. CLUBS ART Since the time allotted to our club is short, it is necessary to limit work to extremely small and simple subjects; therefore, most of the work done in this club consists of small, quick sketches compiled into a notebook, which are particularly interesting to the individual. As a result, there are very interesting folders on costume designing, magazine illustrations, greeting cards, cartoons, and poster work. We cooperate in illustrating and printing special posters for special programs. CHEFS The boys in this club learned to make cupcakes, hamburgers, lemon meringue pie, and apple tarts. They made oatmeal cookies for the faculty party. When Christmas came, the boys made five different types of cookies. In the latter part of the year the club made waffles, pancakes, candy and real Italian spaghetti. Miss Wynne found the boys very interested in learning to cook, but more interested in eating. HOBBIES More students have learned to use their leisure time to far greater advantage in this club. This group, under the guidance of Mr. LeDonne, provided all types of group and individual work. Most of us were interested in making model airplanes and covered wagons. We are happy to have found new avenues to relaxation and pleasure. 'K CLUBS PLASTICS We were amazed to learn of the many things one can do with plastics. Both Mr. Phillips and Mr. Gorman helped us greatly to master the art of creating many beautiful articles of jewelry. Our favorite source of material was plexiglas. which came in varied colors and was molded into many original productions. It did not take us long to realize that plastics is the field of the future. SCIENCE Practical experiments, trips, and interesting study in the field of science were combined to form the work of our club. Students learned many new things that were not included in their regular classes. Much credit goes to Mr. Bender for helping us to solve the many mysteries of science. STUDENT MANAGERS Our job is to do the “paper work for the athletic teams. We are the hard workers of whom you never hear. We make arrangements for the games, buses, the sending of cards to the various officials and opponents. We also make the contracts and copy eligibility lists for the faculty. Every now and then there is a job to be done that we do not know how to do. That is when the advice of Mr. Neely is accepted gladly. This is only a small part of the work that must be done to keep the athletic machinery running smoothly. CLUBS TUMBLERS The purpose of this club is to help the girls to develop co-ordination, poise and self-confidence. The girls spend their time doing forward rolls, backward rolls, head-stands, cartwheels. and pyramids. Mrs. Haun has taught the girls many new activities such as combative stunts and tricks. Mighty interestin', podner! WILDLIFE The Wildlife Club, under the direction of Mr. Truxel, learned many important fundamentals of living in the wooded areas of our nation. This aim was achieved by citing many interesting experiences of those who became famous during the pioneer days. We feel certain that our members have learned much to help them meet the future problems of life. Many thanks go to our popular sponsor. YE CRIER The publication of the newspaper this year stemmed from a class in journalism conducted by Mrs. Truxel during the club period. The staff worked long, hard hours to turn out a paper having plenty of reader appeal and meeting the standards of good journalism. New columns and features were introduced. and a free expression of reader opinion was encouraged among the student body. From the first fine mimeographed issues. Ye Crier made its final appearance of the year in printed form. • • . HU— ' Mlfa S, v.tV� WS I. l‘ k„.. 1 ’• .

PIG-SKIN TOTERS We are all proud of the way in which our football squad displayed the traditional Darby spirit and courage. The hoys fought hard, and played good, clean football. They refused to concede victory to any opponents in spite of the odds against them. The spirit and enthusiasm of Coaches Truxel and LeDonne were reflected in the determined playing of our “Rams.” HOCKEY “Take two: pep it up!” Yes, they’re the words that led us to a very successful season. W ith good team work and Mrs. Haim’s pep talks, we couldn’t go wrong. The girls worked hard to make the team a good one, and with many happy memories the seniors leave, wishing they could come hack next year. 40 C°ac]i Hai,n H Rutherford, G. Mattola, J. Awkard, V.

BASKETBALL ' High-spirited student-spectators cheered in unison as the shrill whistle of the referee indicated another victory for Darby High. The players were all clever, fair sportsmen, anil their ability to make a basket was . . . well, it was just there! 1949 Varsity’s history is a record of skill, hard practice, good sportsmanship, and well-earned scores. I hanks to the swell coaching of Mrs. Haun, we had a successful season, winning all but one game. Our girls were all on top when it came to bringing home well-earned victories. BASEBALL It is too early to predict any great tilings for our team. But the return of such veterans as Shockley, Deaver, Ferrier, Martin, Grossi, Gilli-gan, Hooven, Lewis, Kent and Smalley will surely make it tough for all opponents. Under the watchful eye of Coach Ebert, our boys will learn to work together, through sportsmanship, and effort. “Let’s go, gang, bring home the bacon.” Standing: Manager Smith, Seichepine, Whaley, DeGenova-Gilligan, alley, Kent, Vough, Smal-ley, Donnelly, Routzahn, B au-m a n n, Savage, Coach Ebert.

The return of many stars front last year’s team gives Coach Truxel the feeling that they will make spectacular track history for our school. The preliminary drills indicate that our opponents will be in for a rough time. Coaches LeDonne and Truxel Standing: Specht, Fisher, DuPree, Ferguson, Trent, Guy, Sealey, Amell, Pratt. Kneeling: Briddes, Thompson, Carey, Green. SOFTBALL The girls in our school have shown their ability to swing a bat and toss a ball ver successfully in the past years. Mrs. Haun is certain to weld another powerful combination from the many candidates that reported to her. Let’s go, girls, toss them out and sock the hall. Standing: L. Humphries, 0. Staneoff, A.

But the memory of those 49'ers will stay with me as long as 1 live. Yep. they did many things to make a great many people proud of them. I reckon I ought to start back about '46. These youngsters came 'round these parts in September 5: shy and inexperienced of the hard labors of this kind o life. They were strong ones tho. and willing to take on their part of the load. They came for what most youngsters sought, but they were determined to strike it rich.’ These young folks sort o wandered round for awhile before becoming used to the grounds, but they got acquainted right quick. Although they were treated as strangers, these youngsters did a good job of mixing with the others round them. This place was erected for hard working folks, but there was always time for recreation of some sort no matter where you were. They were not new in the sports offered them during the first year, but as all things go, the others had seniority over them and they patiently waited for their turn to show their stuff. Many of us folks will remember such as George Deaver, Lois Humphries, George Carey, and others who got a right smart start in athletics. These people knew how important it was to become organized, and elected their first set of officers. They were: President—Robert Shockley Vice-President—George Deaver Secretary—Norma Hill Treasurer—Walter McCluskey Historian—Melvin Dickerson As all groups do, this gang picked an adviser to help them get over the rough spots and help them pan out the good from the bad in their diggins. They selected Mr. Robert M. Bender, a right good man. To go on with the story, these folks worked hard during the first year of their settlement and they took a short but pleasant vacation to give them a breather from their search for acres of knowledge. Wal. after hanging 'round for a year, these youngsters really went to work in '47. The time for rough and tumble sports came round, and the folks, now well accustomed to our life, joined right in the affairs making most of the athletic teams, as well as joining many other activities. The teams of both sexes were made much stronger with the addition of these 49ers. You shoulda seen Bobby Hight. Eleanor Casassa and Joan Tangye on the stage! They did quite a job of acting. But aside from all this playing, they kept on working. They received reports every six weeks which told them how they were getting on, and how close they were to hitting the bonanza. 82 REMEMBER Spring was coming on and the June bug had bitten quite a few boys and girls, and they sought their pleasures by themselves. By the end of the year these youngsters, maturing as the days and weeks went by, kept up the old tradition of those who went before them by throwing a big shindig — Junior Prom”—I think they called it. This was the final good luck gesture of the golden knowledge seekers given in honor of those who were pulling up stakes and going to unknown places to spend the knowledge they had worked for and found. Now, this final part of my story-tellin is really a whipperdoo. Why, so many things went poppin round this place that it was mighty tough to keep up with them all. It was in the year 48. when these fine people began to dig deep because they knew their stay here was soon to end. They elected a batch of new officers who it was felt would do all they could to wind up the affairs here in right good style. Seems to me the officers were: President—Robert Shockley Vice-President—James Carr Secretary—Margaret Arenz Treasurer—Walter McCluskey Historian—Joseph Gaul Yep. these kids worked mighty hard. But they knew all work and no play would make them mighty dull. So they pulled out some footballs, hockey sticks, basketballs, baseballs and such, to challenge all the neighboring sections in a little competition. Basketball appeared to be the big sport for them this year. The girls had a mighty good team, whipping them all big and small. The boys came up with a combination of speed and deception that soon carried them to a tie for the league title. But that wasn't all! They took the Class B championship in this section and went on to play other section champions before thousands of people. The baseball club was a mighty good one too, and bent their knees to no one. These young-uns showed their versatility by putting on a dramatic production so that all the people round here could see them. It was a rip-snortin' success. I think the play was called What A Life,” and watta play it was! Wal. spring was comin on like a cattle stampede, and everyone was realizin’ how time had really slipped by. All kinds of arrangements were being made to pull up stakes. Yep, the years went by mighty quick. These youngsters began to take stock of what they have really gained here. A great many who worked hard really struck it rich.” while those who did not work as they should found their pickins” a mite lean. But they were all prepared to take themselves to different parts of the world to spend what they had gained here in knowledge Well miss them! Many will come back to tell us of the many experiences and successes they have achieved. I, for one, will be here waitin to hear all the interestin' stories they will surely have. Good luck to you, 49’ers! 83 Kenneth Martin Vice President Joanne Awkard President Loretha Holloway Secretary Valaida Smith Historian Norma Wilson T reasurer HOMEROOM 107 Front Row: G. Beckwith, A.
