OUR PRINCIPAL “There are hermit souls that live withdrawn In the place of their self-content; There are souls like stars that dwell apart. In a fellowless firmament: There are pioneer souls that blaze their paths W here highways never ran, — But let me live by the side of the road. And he a friend of man.” —Sam W alter Foss .1. WALLACE SANER Principal MB. J. WALLACE SANER, B.S., M.A. Principal MISS SARAH ZIMMERMAN B.S., M.Ed. Secretary to the Principal 13

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. Secretary to the Superintendent
