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

Text from Pages 1 - 96 of the 1952 volume:

Few of us realize the age of progress that we are in. The latest and most beneficial development in our modern age is the great industry of television. This field of endeavor aims to convey to everyone the truth in world current events. Never before in our history has the public been so promptly informed of what is going on around us. to I We are fortunate to step into a world that has increased the opportunities for greater prospects because of the many positions made possible by television. Since we too have shown progress during our stay in Darby High School, it was decided to use television, the epitome of modern progress, as the theme of our yearbook. We hope our readers will like what they see in our book. DEDICATED TO MISS MAZIE FRANKLIN B.S., M.S. The Class of 1952 takes great pride in dedicating its yearbook to Miss Mazie Franklin, whose thirty-four years of faithful service in Darby Public Schools has earned her first place in a mythical Who's Who among local educators. We shall always remember Miss Franklin for her fairness and justice. We shall remember her as a strict teacher, but one not too strict to have a sense of humor at the proper time. As our history teacher, she taught us thoroughly and simply, but made our classes interesting. For many years Miss Franklin has handled the organization of the high school club program. We have appreciated her judgment in seeing that we were all happily adjusted in our club choices. Miss Franklin took her first teaching position in the Darby School District in 1918 when she taught social studies in the Ridge Avenue Elementary School where she remained for eight years. From 1933 to 1935 she taught social studies in both the junior and senior high schools. Then in 1935 she assumed her present position as a teacher of American history in the senior high school. For thirty-four years Miss Franklin has been an important figure in the history of Darby High School, quietly, but decisively exerting her influence for good upon the lives of her students. In grateful appreciation for the high standards and ideals which she tried to instill in us, we proudly dedicate our yearbook to her. ON STAGE Now, girls, a good secretary should ...

Martin, Sr. President Mr. James M. Boice Vice President Mr. Joseph A. Atkins Secretary Mr. Harold W. Pugh Treasurer To the Class of 1952: Your Board of Education, through me, wishes to express hearty greetings to the members of your class. Congratulations are extended to all of you in completing your course of studies. The Board as a unit hopes you will solve future problems in life to afford a successful and happy livelihood. The seeds for this have been sown here. The crop you reap later we hope will be mature enough to make you all reach the goal you strive for. Sincerely yours, Raymond S. Martin, Sr. President Mr. Percival C. Christie Dr. E. V. Liberace SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS I am writing this message during National Brotherhood Week, 1952; and I am bothered. Why am 1 bothered? — because I cannot understand why a nation as great as ours, the leader of nations, founded upon democratic principles by our forefathers, should feel it necessary to have such a special observance. I cannot understand why a great country like ours, interested in the democratic way of life, fostered by persons through the years who have had life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness as their goals, should deem it necessary to rally its people for National Brotherhood. Is it that we are failing to do our job of being our brother's keeper ? Soon you will leave Darby High School and take on new duties and larger responsibilities. As you do, will you pledge yourselves to — Learn More of Democracy — Live Democracy Better — and Love Democracy to its Fullest and to make every day one in which you shall not simply be your brother's keeper but your brother's brother. Success to each one of you in your future undertaking. PRINCIPAL Not in the clamor of the crowded street, Not in the shouts and plaudits of the throng, But in ourselves, are triumph and defeat. —Longfellow I. Wallace Saner, B.S., M.A. ADVISERS CLASS ADVISER To you, Mrs. Truxel, we are deeply indebted for the time and work you have devoted to us. At times we might have seemed indifferent, but all of us feel it will not be possible to ever fully repay you. The Junior Prom would not have been so successful, or our happy memories so pleasant, were it not for your tireless efforts. Your patience with our signs of immaturity and indecision helped greatly to make the activities of our class a complete success. We love you, and in the years to come shall never forget our good-hearted adviser. Mrs. Cora C. Truxel YEARBOOK ADVISER As producer of the Yearbook on channel '52, you worked long and hard to give us the wonderful show we have presented. The director, technicians and the cast wish to thank you, Mr. Solar, for all your ideas and helpful hints. We hope that you consider the results of your efforts as profitable and entertaining as all the people will who may see it in the many years to come. 14 Mr. Herman W. Solar Experiments reveal to us the mysteries of science. REHEARSAL In between the rigorous activities of the day comes the time to relax and replenish the supply of energy with which to face the future problems of the day. Practical experience should result in a more successful future. 15 STARS IN THE SPORT-LIGHT Back Row: Coach P. LeDonne, R. Roberts, A. Elzey, A. Baumann, R. Hause, E. McBreen, G. Lydon, Coach C.

PIG-SKINNERS Our “Fighting Rams completed a successful football season with a record of four wins, three losses, and one stalemate out of eight games. The boys maintained a crushing offensive and one of the best defenses in the county throughout the season. Facing a 13-0 defeat at halftime in the opening game against Swarth-more, the “Rams came back with a vicious second-half attack to tie the Little Garnet at 13-13. The following week the Lansdowne “Lords were toppled to the tune of a 25-7 score. The squad then gave Coach Truxel a birthday present by breaking Yeadon's winning streak in a 6-0 contest. Ridley Park also bowed to a score of 13-0. The “Rams splashed their way to a final victory of 20-14 over Clifton Heights in rain and mud. Our gridders suffered their losses to three of the county's best teams, Eddy-stone (0-6), Collingdale (6-20), and undefeated Conshohocken (12-25). With a good number of boys returning next season, we are already looking forward to an even greater record. With hope in their hearts and victory on their minds, the Ramettes opened the 1951 hockey season by playing like pros against their toughest opponent — Chester — to shut out the Clipperettes with a score of 1-0. Confidence, spirit, and good defensive and offensive playing helped Darby chalk up consecutive victories over Ellis, 2-0; Berwyn, 2-1; Collingdale, 4-1; and Yeadon, 2-1. The last game of the season ended in a deadlock when the undefeated Ramettes met the undefeated Clifton Heights squad and battled to a 1-1 score. Our most loyal, energetic rooter was Coach Esther Haun whose magic word RUSH spurred the girls on through an unblemished season. Standing: Coach Haun, L. Moore, E. Petuch, L. Wallace, F. Culley, A.

Mackrey Although we are sorry to see the varsity seniors leave; such players as L. Wallace, S. Johnson, J. Overton, B. Mackrey, P. Brice and B. Brannan form a promising nucleus around which to build another championship team in the fall of 1952. CHAMPIONS Coach Herm Solar's basketball team soared to great heights this season by achieving the Grand Slam of basketball for the first time in the history of our school. The season was initiated with the winning of the Delaware County Coaches Tournament trophy. The squad then proceeded to win eleven straight games in the Philadelphia Suburban, Section II League to take another title. Proving these two championships were no accident, the Rams became the P.I.A.A. District I, Class B champions for the second time in as many years by defeating three other league champions in the district playoffs. Our speedsters then went all the way to the State regional playoffs until they were stopped by Kutztown in a thrilling heart-breaker. Darby's season record was an amazing twenty-one wins and two losses. Front Row: L. Lynch, G. Dickerson, J. Nuyannes, Capt. W. Ross, L. Hurrelbrinck, I. Tyler, D. Smith Back Row: Coach Solar, Mgr. E.

Nuy-annes, P. Pema, L. Heartter At the time of this writing the members of the baseball squad are busy preparing themselves for a season they hope will be very successful. Our new coach, Mr. Carl A. Kredatus, fully expects to have a good year since his team will be built around such veterans as Peter Pema, Frank Abrecka, Edward Duckinfield, William Brannan, Richard Blankley, Joseph Atkins, James Nuyan-nes, Donald Smith, Robert Small, James Scott and Lewis Lynch. We all hope the team will give Mr. Kredatus a Philadelphia Suburban high school championship. Let’s go team — we're all rootin' for you. Back Row: Coach E. Haun, E. Petuch, M. Johnson, L. Yales, I. Sprowal, E. Watson, L. Fisher, D. Gale, Mgr. E. Thomas Front Row: D. Settles, M. Mason, B. Mackrey, J. Colombo, J. Farley Our '52 girls' softball team was preparing for a busy schedule as this book was on the way to the printer. The team's chance for a very successful season was good since a number of veterans such as A. Davis, G. Sheppard, B. Nut-tie, F. Culley, S. Bullard, L. Yates, E. Thomas and E. Petuch plus many hopeful prospects represented a nucleus for a strong organization that will have good offensive and defensive power. There was no doubt that the girls would maintain the same caliber of playing and good sportsmanship as exemplified by the teams in the past. Here's luck to Mrs. Haun and her diamondettes. SPIKESTERS As the book went to press, track had just begun for the '52 season, and our trackmen had not yet hit the cinders for any new records. However, with the return of such veterans as John Maloney, Fred Roye, George Dickerson, Joe Tyler and Alonzo Lewis it was a sure sign of another great season. It was felt that these boys plus the many new prospects would add more glory to the name of our school. The tradition of Darby High School has always been good sportsmanship and hard fighting — a worthwhile aim for our boys to maintain. Back Row: Mgr. J. Bogle, C. Thurman. A. Miller, C. Studevan, R.

As our school days at Darby end, we will always have this book of memories to remind us of our good times.

Mr. Kenneth E. Blyler Director The color guard and majorettes in their beautiful uniforms always added an air of dignity to our Band marching down the field. 34 Cheer! Cheer! Listen to them play! Yes, that is our Darby High School Band! Very efficiently led by Mr, Blyler, it has spurred our football team on to many victories. With the aid of our distinctive Color Guard and twirling Majorettes, our Band never failed to present a spectacular demonstration on the field. Their varied talents were called upon to entertain the students in auditorium programs where they proved themselves to be rated among the best. As in former years, the Band participated in the Kiwanis Music Festival and presented selections that were thoroughly enjoyed by both young and old. Here again they showed their versatility. We are proud of our Band. The many times they have demonstrated their ability is certainly a tribute to the expert leadership of Mr. Blyler. May we take this opportunity to compliment the entire organization on a job superbly done. Joe Smith, one of our most loyal rooters. □N PARADE MEG TQSSEHS Mr. Phillips showing them how. Deveroaux, Milligan, Murray, Hall, Devereaux and Judy Fight, team! Fight! How often that familiar cry rang out as the flash of arms, the swish of blue skirts, and the skyward leap of the energetic cheerleaders kept our enthusiasm running high through football, hockey and basketball seasons.

Classes Among the many outstanding achievements of the Class of 52, was also the publication of The Rambler; for it was the seniors who took the lead in producing for the first time in Darby school history a five-column printed newspaper. From the beginning it proved to be a tremendous success. The first.issue was not only a complete sell-out among the student body, but it was also one of only three Delaware County school papers selected to compete in a nation-wide school press project. With Mrs. Truxel heading the editorial and secretarial staffs and Miss Myers advising the business staff, we have worked hard and have had fun launching another school activity off to bigger and better things. eligible young j Dottie Bounds, uciom, mon-hunting cher.

The house was run by an efficient father, a considerate mother, and a juvenile family council. It was a very enjoyable play, and one that will long be remembered.

Assistant Director. .Mrs, Olive Dimmick Our Miss Brooks is a delightful comedy about a high school English teacher and the troubles and mix-ups she gets into. The story takes place in a typical high school. It might even be Darby High. Miss Brooks, so ably portrayed by Dorothy Bounds, poured her personality over everyone, including the audience. Surpassed by few of her students in the art of getting into trouble, the harassed Miss Brooks has her hands full when she is told that she must direct the school play besides carrying on all of her other activities chief of which is trying to snare the handsome young basketball coach, played by Ed Hunt. Laughs were many and often as Miss Brooks battled with the coach, the high school principal, and the President of the School Board. Of course, every story must have a love scene in it. Never to be forgotten were the tender moments between two students, Jane and Ted, played so well by Clara Travis and Paul Morrison. 45 SENATORS STUDENT COUNCIL Our Student Council planned many activities this year that were of great benefit to the school and the students. With Miss Virginia McMichael, adviser, and President Paul Morrison at the helm, they sparked a successful charity drive, conducted dances, and sponsored assembly programs, cake bakes and a Tag Day. The Council can well feel proud of the work done this past year. MONITORS 46 ATHLETIC MANAGERS This very important club was composed of the student managers of various school athletic teams. They kept the teams' business affairs running smoothly by mailing eligibility lists, writing vouchers for officials, and attending to many small details important before each game. CLUBS CERAMICS The Ceramics Club this year learned how to make interesting and attractive objects from clay according to the step-by-step pattern-making method. Members of the club learned the basic types of clays and glazes and how to fire the pieces in the kiln. Both beginners and advanced students created many original designs for trays, pins, figurines, dishes and novelties. CHEFS Twelve senior boys were taking no chances on starving later on in life. They learned how to cook, to plan well-balanced meals, and the practice of good table manners. They will never have to trust to luck to eat. This experience will help them no end. CHESS Members of the Chess Club have found the relaxing quiet of a chess game a real relief from the pressing schedule of a school roster. The games were real contests with frequent postponements or cancellations due to time limits. The cry of more and more of our chessmen was Pawn to the King's fourth! CLUB CRAFTS Haven t you heard the hammers? It was the Crafts Club, of course! They were down in the shop working with leather, plastics, and wood, and were getting an opportunity to put that creative urge to good use by making attractive articles to place in their own homes. NEEDLECRAFT Like cooking, being able to wield the needle with at least a degree of dexterity marks the all-around feminine person. The Needlecraft Club tried to make the work delightfully easy as the girls made a host of lovely things. NURSING Never fear that Darby High School girls won't be able to cope with an emergency. The girls in this club were taught first-aid and how to treat illnesses and accidents at home. By taking turns as patients, girls interested in nursing as a career gained a lot of practical experience. CLUBS TRAVEL Students with a wanderlust board the mythical magic carpet every Tuesday in the library when the Travel Club meets to see movies and hear talks about interesting places as told by teachers and students who have lived in or visited other parts of the United States or other countries. TYPISTS So popular was the Typing Club that membership in this group had to be limited to twenty-four members who were senior or junior typing students. During club periods it was a real help to be able to type work from other classes. This gave the club a practical value. FRANK RICHARD ABRECKA HAROLD E.

The mem'ries of our childhood days Seem closer to us now; We feel a twinge of sadness, As to our school we bow. The friends we've made and learned to love Are with us ever still, And in our hearts we hold their friendship, Our lonely hours to fill. To this fine school we sing our song, Hail, Darby High School, noble — strong.

The first day we entered Darby High as SOPHOMORES!! Is it possible that it was only three years ago? Our first class meeting. My, we were really it. Our first class officers were: President .....................Elaine Hill Vice President ..........James Nuyannes Secretary ..................... Alva Gault Treasurer ................. Claire Murray Historian ............... Patricia Douthett Picking our class adviser, Mrs. Truxel — we did a pretty good job, didn't we? How much work senior high brought! We just knew those teachers were picking on us! The fun (and work too) we had selling Christmas cards; our first class project. We were on the way. The Christmas parties Mr. Bender had in his classes. They were such fun! We even won prizes — Thanks, Mr. B. Our first senior high school play, The Night of January 16th”. Mrs. Lawley and Mrs. Dimmick did a fine job, and those of us lucky enough to be given parts were very proud. Move-up day on June second when the seniors left and we were JUNIORS — well, almost! The first day of our junior year. Now we could look down on the sophomores and give them the advice we hadn't wanted. Our class elections. We voted for the following to lead us for another year: President ..................James Nuyannes Vice President....................Elaine Hill Secretary ................... Claire Murray Treasurer ............................. Frank Abrecka Historian ................ Patricia Douthett The Swarthmore-Darby football game when we fooled everyone (especially Swarthmore) and broke Swarthmore's 28 game winning streak. The work at football games when we were in charge of the refreshment stand at the field. We should have had at least three hands at half time. Our first dance, the Junior Jump . The gym never saw a dance as successful as that one — at least that was our opinion. There were loads of people, and the decorations, which carried out our theme of Blue Moon, were terrific. It was the talk of the school for days afterward. Our second senior high school play, Cheaper by the Dozen . Bill Rivell, '51, was priceless as Father. The auditorium walls rocked with laughter over family life with an efficiency expert. Money! We were back at making that stuff again! This time we sold Christmas candy. 80 The District 1 basketball champs eating ice cream cones on the stage. We had to sit and watch while they ate, but we agreed that they had earned them. The Prom! The 20th Century Club in Lansdowne never looked more beautiful. Everyone there had a wonderful time, and they almost had to be swept out with the confetti. And wasn't the wishing well the best idea? Move-up day on June first. It surely felt grand sitting in the front of the auditorium. Of course, with the seniors gone and the juniors feeling high and mighty, lectures became inevitable. The topic of these lectures — need anyone be reminded? — was seniorites. September 10 — we were SENIORS, spelled S-E-N-I-O-R-S! After proclaiming ourselves as such (and quite loudly) we looked around the school and saw peach and gray walls! They looked good after those drab green ones we had gazed at so long. Our last class elections. We not only had a general election, but a primary, too. The final results were: President ......................William Ross Vice President ..............Clarence Guy Secretary ...................Claire Murray Treasurer ..................Lorraine Moore Historian ..................Patricia Douthett Mr. Saner telling us we need 55 credits instead of 48! Hrmmph! — and only one year to make up for lost time. The undefeated hockey team — the first in a few years. The expression on Mr. Bender's face the day Mr. Saner walked in Physics class and Mr. B. was teaching the class to play pool. Winning the leaque basketball championship — after 18 years of waiting. Mr. Saner stunned us all when, on the following day, he announced we had the rest of the day off. It was a pleasant surprise, to say the least. Congratulations to the District Champs — on winning and getting a free dinner at Mr. Solar's house. It isn't often that any school in District 1 has the horror two years in a row. The fun we had in presenting “Our Miss Brooks” with the juniors and the sophomores — nor the laughs we had in comparing real school personalities and play characters . Thanks to Mr. Ferrier and Mrs. Dimmick for making this a tremendous success. The time Mr. Saner rapped on the door of 101 to quiet the 12 BK's, and two of the “Crime-busters” rapped back just as determinedly (?) The terrific prom the juniors gave us. It was lots of fun and a great success. The Hawaiian theme was most impressive. How solemn we were at Baccalaureate on June first. It was held for us at the Methodist Church in Darby.
