Darby High School - Blue and White Yearbook (Darby, PA)

Text from Pages 1 - 100 of the 1950 volume:

ON DECK! Arl for Art’s sake. How much can a person learn? These pictures depict many happy days spent in Darby High. But like the Pirates of old we now prepare to leave our school to seek what fortunes this uncertain world has in store for us. Anchors A weigh! ho said studying is not pleasant? TO YOU MR. WALTER R. 1)01 THETT Superintendent DARBY SCHOOL DISTRICT WE DEDICATE THIS BOOK With real pride and deep gratitude, we dedicate this 1950 Yearbook of Darby Senior High School to our loyal friend and esteemed Superintendent, Mr. Walter R. Douthett. Since February 1925, you have served Darby with brilliant vision, democratically administering the schools and developing outstanding leaders and civic-minded thinkers among teachers, students and townsfolk. You were always willing, even eager to help us solve our problems, and gave generously of your time, experience and advice, counseling each of us as if we were vour own sons or daughters. e understand that you are acknowledged to he one of the most progressive, humanitarian and distinguished educators not only in this county, but throughout our whole state and nation. We are grateful to you for all you have given to Darby, and deem it a privilege to have had your personal guidance. It is our hope that you will find true satisfaction tor your tireless efforts in our behalt, as we prove ourselves worthy, intelligent, loyal American citizens, inspired by the teaching we received under your leadership. May you gain much happiness in the many years to come from enjoying the pleasures you had to forego during your busy years as our Superintendent. 5 FOREWORD The purpose of our yearbook is to take each reader on a pictorial course through our senior years of school. When you lift the cover just imagine that you are making your way up the gang plank of an ancient pirate ship, surrounded by other worthy seafarers, who in reality are we, the class of 1950. We, like the pirates of old, were out to capture the riches of an entirely new treasure. We too were told mysterious tales of inhuman creatures and hair-raising experiences, but the passing of time proved them only myths. Rough seas and raging storms often dampened our morale and forced some of the crew to abandon ship; but those of us who have weathered the storms are once again safe in port. Some of us will remain on shore — others will sign up for new adventures. Regardless of the course each chooses, we hope his story will he as happy and as successful as the one related in this log. All-a-shore that’s goiiT ashore! 6 CONTENTS 7 OUR ADVISERS MR. HERMAN W. SOLAR Yearbook Adviser You were the captain! We were the crew! The 1950 Yearbook was the ship, and tlie course we followed meant success or failure. It was a long voyage and at times contrary winds did blow and the going got mighty tough: hut you stood by. Our ship lias come to port now. She lies at anchor for all the world to see. We the class of 1950 are very proud of her captain and we're most grateful to you, Mr. Solar. When we, as tenth graders, set about the task of choosing a class adviser, we knew little of the qualifications required. Fate was on our side, for we chose and now consider you, Mrs. James, one of the very best. Our senior high years have been good ones. It has been through your unselfish efforts that we as a class have been able to accomplish all that we have done. Although we are a group of varied opinions ami ideas we stand unanimous in offering you our highest praise and deepest appreciation. MRS. GERTRUDE JAMES Class Adviser 10 SCHOOL BOARD l)r. Raymond S. Marlin; President, Mr. Percival C. Christie. Mr. Harold II . Pugh: Treasurer, Mr. Janies M. Roice; Vice President, Mr. Walter R.

TO THE CLASS OF 1950: To the members of tlie Class of 1950: the members of the School Board extend their heartiest congratulations. We wish we could grant each one of you success, as we are able to grant you certificates of graduation. We do wish and hope that each and every member of this class will attain the heights they strive for, whether it is in business, profession or any other calling of your choosing, and that you all enjoy good health and happiness in your undertaking. We know you have had able instructors and teachers to start you on the right path. Most sincerely, RAYMOND S. MARTIN, SR. President MR. JOSEPH SMITH Ruilding Custodian OUR SUPERINTENDENT MR. WALTER R. DOUTHETT, B.A., M.A. Superintendent of Schools During the past thirty years, I have written of the part taken by successive classes in the reorganization of the High School in the early 20’s; securing the new High School building in the mid 20 s; expanding the High School activities and facilities during the depression 30’s: the defense and war effort of the early 40’s, and the problems of peace and improved human relations of the late 40’s. Through all of these annual messages runs the theme of unselfish service rendered by individuals and classes: the danger of indifference, and the need for active, cooperative participation in the civic and social life of a community and the world of increasingly rapid changes and constant emergencies. You, the members of the (Hass of 1950, who graduate in the middle of a century that has already seen more changes than the combined centuries of all human history, face a completely untried task of living in an age of abun- dance ami super-power in which you dare not devote too much time, energy and thought to earning a living through physical production for fear of working society into a glut and yourselves and others out of a job or into oblivion, but must give more and more time, study and energy to developing one world where the abundance will be shared, power controlled, and mankind will live in peace and harmony. As the last Darby High School class for which I will write the Superintendent’s message, 1 hope that we have developed a school that has helped give you the desire, courage, and ability to “dare to do and be different” — qualities necessary to help solve the problems you face. With you go my best wishes. Sincerely yours, WALTER R. DOUTHETT Superintendent of Schools 12 MISS BESS ROBSON, B.S.

Never was there a greater scavenger than Henry when he searched for everything that could possibly be sold to raise the necessary cash. It developed into many hysterical complications that had us falling out of our seats with laughter. life NIGHT OF I hi.- was a play about a mail that two women loved. Death came to this ruthless gangster on January 16th.

Under the direction of Miss Virginia McMichael our governing body sponsored dances, quizzes, and contests which proved both beneficial and entertaining. Members of the Council attended conferences held in this area, discussing current problems of the different schools which helped better relations between schools. During the year our Council has been kept busy helping with the Community Chest Drive, March of Dimes, War Savings Stamps, and various other activ ities. ith the great cooperation from the student body, the Student Council has had a very prosperous year. I he officers of the governing body consisted of: Frank Kent, President Dorothea Gallon, Vice President Norma Wilson, Secretary Esther Macey, Treasurer (diaries Wilson, Chief Monitor CLUBS ATHLETIC MANAGERS This club, sponsored by our Faculty Manager, Mr. Neely, was organized to facilitate the paper work to carry on athletics. Included in the work was sending out contracts to officials, checking eligibility lists, ordering buses for games, and taking care of all minor details to develop the athletic program. CERAMICS Students interested in clay enjoyed a fascinating bobby with the study of types of clay, glazes, kilns, and their applications. Beginning with a step-by-step pattern-making method we gradually created original things such as pins, bookends, plates, figurines, ashtrays, and many other interesting objects. Thanks, Miss Szieleit, for an interesting program. HOBBIES Much satisfaction from relaxation was offered in this activity. The work was both interesting and educational. It included stamp collecting, bead work, pencil sketching, model building, and other interesting hobbies. We appreciate the opportunity extended to us by Mr. LeDonne to work on these projects during club period. CLUBS NEEDLECRAFTERS Under the expert guidance of Miss Wynne, the girls in this club have learned of the domestic problems in a home, and how to meet them. Very few realize the wonders that a needle and a little thread can do. This training will certainly prove beneficial to the members in the future. PROJECTIONISTS Our organization has followed the modern trend of providing more visual education in the schools by developing interested members into moving picture operators. Miss McMichael did a terrific job of teaching us how to handle the projectors and other audio-visual materials. Name the picture—-we’ll show it. SCIENCE Practical experiments, field trips, and interesting study of the various sciences were combined to form the work of our club. Opportunities were provided to learn many new things of science which were not always included in our regular classes. Further study of this type was great fun under the leadership of Mr. Bender. CLUBS SPANISH Our Club was open to all students wishing to increase their knowledge of Latin Americans and their culture. As a result Mr. Brophy had students in this club who never took Spanish, hut through general reading and movies were able to derive new viewpoints of our friendly southern neighbors. Ahora sabemos! STAG EC RA FTERS This club consisted of twelve members in which all participated in the setting up of scenery for our plays and programs. Mr. Phillips, our instructor, planned and suggested ways of helping us in our work. Between plays the old scenery was repaired for future use. Work in this organization was very beneficial to all of us. WILD LIFE W ild li fe, soil erosion, forests and natural resources were some of the topics discussed in this club. Mother Nature provides a protection for each of these. But, sometimes she forgets and man must provide protection by replacing and rebuilding those things which are destroyed. Information of this sort was furnished to us by our sponsor, Mr. Truxel. Front Rou: Bauman, Objt, Boston, MeElwec, Murray, Amcll, Griffith, Specht, liridili . Srrond Ron-: P.

Darby's spirited and hard-fighting “Rains” finished with a very successful season. They won five of their scheduled eight games, losing only to the three best teams in the rounly. Our team has a record to be proud of due. mostly, to the smooth teamwork of the boys. Willi this splendid record the Rams gave us a team long to be remembered. HOCKEY NYitli sticks firmly in liaml —llie cool rush of wind against their faces—off tiiey started down the field toward the goal. Hurrah! A score was made. Our team's greatest handicap was the lack of good weather. The girls took this in stride, and under the excellent guidance of Mrs. Matin,saw the season through with thrilling victories. Here’s hoping their undying spirit has helped to lay a strong foundation for the team of 1950. I � Mi . K. Ilsun; Cuarh. II. Itulln-rforil. J. Awkanl. U. Mullula, V. Smith. J. lioiinils, K.

Kor the first time in years we won a trip to Pennsylvania State College to be entered in the P.I.A.A. state championships. With the return of Guy, Ferguson, Wilson, Thompson, Murray anti a few others the track team of 1950 should set an even better record than that of ’49. — % ' • � , � • ■ j V , PATRICIA RUTH ABRECKA “Par 228 N.

Immediately we felt a strange longing to be back on shore. Here on the wild, rough and wavy sea we missed the glory received on land where we had constituted the majority of the sports teams, pulling through each season with great victories. In all that fame, excitement and hard work we found contentment and happiness. However, in this new phase of life we attracted very little attention. Those who preceded us roamed the waters with more confidence and note than we. But we refused to be discouraged. The fruits of fame and fortune were destined to be ours. After getting our crew established under the leadership of our Commodore, Mrs. Gertrude James, wre decided to select ship officers. The following were placed into office: Kenneth Martin ..........................Captain Joan Awkard ...............................First Mate Carolyn Fiorito ..........................Second Mate (diaries Wilson ..........................Purser Berta Dahl ........................Log Custodian Work begun immediately. We were honest Pirates as we traded our goods to others for Pirates’ gold. Before we knew it, we had completed one year of our three year voyage, and we docked for a few months. Each person wras given land leave to go his own separate way until September. Some of us boarded the summer ship for more knowledge, anil others simply relaxed. With the coming of fall we welcomed new members to our crew. After exchanging experiences of the summer we elected the following new ship officers: Joan Awkard .............................Captain Kenneth Martin.............................First Mate Loretha Holloway..........................Second Mate Norma W ilson.............................Purser Yalaida Smith .....................Log Custodian Our campaign for gold began immediately, as much trading was to he done this year. We traded tickets and refreshments at the football games and candies at Christmas time. As the good ship S. S. ’50 sailed calmly, those on hoard were feverishly preparing for the “Mistoletoe Hop.” It was a great success and added enthusiasm to our Christmas holiday. 82 YEAR VOYAGE Next came tlie play, given through the combined efforts of the Forty-Niners and the Pirates, called “What A Life,” and I do mean what a life. Recognition night added more excitement. Many received awards for their outstanding participation in sports and other activities. To top it all, a dance was given in honor of these lucky people. Soon it was spring and May brought with it the Junior Prom. Many happy couples came into the Twentieth Century Club to dance to the wonderful tunes of Abe Neff and bis Orchestra. The favors were beautiful and enjoyed by all those lucky to receive them. Once again we were prepared to be set asbore until another season. Many of us were beginning to realize that the most important treasures to be found were not those of Pirates’ gold but rather the Roman treasures found in 254, English treasures in 208, old world treasures in 252 and 255, many gems of knowledge in 105, and much more of great worth in the other familiar class-rooms. Our voyage was off to an excellent start in September — the last lap of the journey toward graduation. We flooded the school and the community with school buttons and pennants. Then came the serious job of electing the proper people to guide us safely through our final phase of school life. The newly elected officers were: Kenneth Martin ..........................Captain Yalaida Smith ........................First Mate Carolyn Fiorito .....................Second Mate Frank George .............................Purser Helen Rutherford ..................Log Custodian I he trip was enhanced by a swell “Hobo Hop” to be long remembered by all of us. We carried on our daily problems with acumen. I hen came the 26th of January when our athletes were received with honor at a wonderful dinner. The guest of honor was Mr. Robert Friedlund, End Coach of the football team at Temple University. A storm was brewing when Mrs. James came looking for class charges. The inevitable calm prevailed over the storm and the trip continued on as in the past. “The Night of January the 16th” was a play presented for the joy and delight of a well satisfied audience. Then the class of ’51 conducted the traditional Prom in honor of the Seniors, and this affair will never he forgotten for the many happy moments of the evening. There it is — the home port is but a short distance — Baccalaureate service — Commencement — and the voyage is over! 83 AND FOR We, the Class of ’50, being in as sound and healthy a mind as can be expected after years of early rising and late retiring, do issue this as our last will and testament. To our Principal, Mr. J. Wallace Saner, we leave a school which has suddenly become quiet and peaceful, due to our departure. To our Faculty, we leave a feeling of profound relief that once we pass through these portals on that blessed day in June, we shall never return again as students.

Wynne fya ieuxell Today we say a sad farewell To dear old Darby High. And always in our hearts will swell, Mem’rieg which will never die. No one had the time To wear a look forlorn. We always watched the prints so fine That the sands of time have worn. We see our colors blue and white Waving proudly in the blue. This is our trail, our guiding light. To this we shall be true. And in our final parting breath. Our joy is turned to tears. We know with sorrow we must part From this our joy throughout the years. And at this moment our voices swell As to Darby High we say farewell. 95 Esther M acey Class of 1950 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS e glance through the preceding pages with extreme pride, and find it difficult to believe that, at last, our Yearbook is completed.
