IIII IIII El II El II fli ii s: :: ii ii ii ii •L - L j DEDICATION At the beginning of our final act we faced a change in Director. Mr. Edward B. Deery became our new Superintendent of Schools. A change in direction at such a crucial point has caused the “flop” of many a potential hit play. However, Mr. Deery with his excellent background in supporting roles such as Principal of Walnut Street School and the Junior High School, caught the feeling of the play and earned the production many early rave review's. It is said that the direction of a play may be measured by the way each player plays his role. We, the members of the Class of June 1951, hope through our performance in the drama of life, to reflect great credit upon your direction, for through you we learned one of the theatre’s greatest lessons, “The Play’s the Thing”. With complete confidence that under your guidance Darby School District will be taking curtain calls for years to come, we dedicate this 1951 Yearbook to you. Best wishes for a long and successful “run”. MR. EDWARD B. DEERY, B.S., M.S.Ed. Superintendent of Schools

ADVISERS CLASS ADVISER Mr. Brophy: As the curtain rose on our sophomore year, we selected you as our adviser. The play progressed, and you guided our steps to a “three act hit”. During this time you have not only been our class leader, but a true friend. If at times we appeared ungrateful for your help, please try to forgive us and know that without your guidance we would have been lost. Many thanks to you for helping us manage the financial aspects of our many concessions, as well as, other endeavors. YEARBOOK ADVISER Mr. Solar: To you we cannot give enough praise for making our Yearbook a success. Although you bad an already full schedule, you unselfishly sacrificed your precious time to make this Yearbook a successful production. Patient, tireless, and always ready to help, you pulled us through when there seemed to be no solution to our dilemmas. No section of our book would be complete without your direction. We are fully aware of all we owe you and wish to thank you for your assistance. Working with you has been a real pleasure.
