The large cast, composed mostly of Mama Hansen's family and relatives, provided an excellent op- portunity for the Senior Class to prove their dramatic mettle. Fine acting and a charming play were blended to achieve the Hnished result. janet Sperry, a newcomer to D.H.S. this year, gave a moving performance as Mama. She was ably supported by Betsy Dunnet, who portrayed Katrin, while Rick Prindle added flavor as the boisterous but kind Uncle Chris. The characters gave the play a delightful tender atmosphere. Enough credit cannot be given to Miss Petterson, the school's dramatic advisor and director of this play, and to Mr. jewett and his stage crew, whose earnest co-operation helped to produce a fine play. The polished acting, smooth production, and appealing plot made this year's senior play one of the school's most memorable. ,,,,.-1 Shelf - Urzele Chris makes his final appearance.

Qgntsgtf iBIap Qluntzst Silence and suspense reigned throughout the D.H.S. audi- torium as participants and spectators of the One-Act Play Contest awaited the verdict. The juniors! Their outstanding perform- ance and spirit had brought their class to victory! The support behind the 1955-56 One-Act Play Contest was outstanding. Had a stranger been standing outside the school door at the end of the plays, he would have had no trouble dis- tinguishing the Sophomores from the juniors or the juniors from the Seniors. The juniors could be described as the ones who came rushing triumphantly through the door at the head of the crowd, the Sophomores came next with a just wait 'til next year look on their faces, and, last but not least, came the Seniors with a deflated look and a sad tear shining in each eye. The play chosen by the Junior Class was The Mystery of the Silver-Backed Hairbrushn, a hilarious take-off on the ever- popular Sherlock Holmes detective story. jonathan French helped to keep the audience entertained with his ridiculous antics as he tried to put together the pieces of a seemingly unsolvable murder case. The highlight of the play, however, was the sur- prise ending when the murder victim Charlie Keil suddenly came to life. It is safe to say that this play was certainly worthy of the first prize. Despite the almost professional handling of the Junior play, the Seniors and Sophomores offered, by no means, easy competi- tion. In the Senior Play, Betsy Dunnet, Ricky Prindle, and Wendy Evans portrayed a family that pretended to be insane in order to frighten away their unwelcome house guests. Ann Keller acted well in the Sophomore play as Miss Applebee, an elderly woman who was tempted by the devil. Regardless of the fact that one play had to be chosen the best of the three, it must be admitted that the decision was dif- Bcult to make and that all three plays went together to make up an evening that was enjoyed by everyone. ,L ,gm .

Opening with a colorful can-can, the pace was set for an evening of village revelry, which was stirred by the harmonizing of the soon-to-be collegiates, and the satisfying syncopation of the Coincidentals . Congratulations and thanks go to Miss Early and Miss Sheffield for their persevering and untiring ef- forts, and to the unseen and unheralded backstage as- sistants. The help and co-operation of these people and many others made the show the great success it was. P..S'. If anyone finds Poopsie please notify Jonathan French in care of the 1956 Vaudeville Show.

Those who attended will agree that this was a func- tion that should become an annual feature. Charlie Keil's masterful managing and impromptu emcee- ing , plus the general good spirits and exuberance of the performers, combined to make it a most enjoyable session. The list of numbers and arrangements reads like a history of jazz, from the era of tailgate trombone to today's modern jazz of the West Coast. The first A Drum battle, Caerar prerizling. Mickey and Charlie at a high point in the entertainment. part of the program started off with a lesson in the basic tenets of Dixie, progressed to a swinging re- incarnation of BG's famous sound, and ended with a dazzling drum exhibition by Charlie Keil and Mickey Earnshaw. After a short breather, the progressive took over, and showed that contemporary sounds can still swing. After a jam on the perennial Fats Waller standard, Honeyruckle Rose, a fourteen-piece group led forth with some of the best in big-band jazz, con- cluding the program with an unrestrained rendition of Two O'Cl0ck jump. In its entirety, the concert was an unforgettable experience, and its wide variety of jazz types gave everyone a taste of his own kind of music. 2 ll I i 1 l i ll 1 l i i, l i i X 1 I l .4 015132 Eluniur tum Knight of Knights , the 1956 junior Prom, was truly a night of nights for all who attended. Under the planning and direction of Gail Anderson and Ronnie Rakaseder, co-chair- men, the Prom Committee transformed the gym into a typical medieval setting of castle splendor, knights in armor, and ladies fair. Crossing the moat at the entrance, the couples entered the courtyard of the castle where they were greeted by the gleaming red eyes of Saint George-'s pet dragon. Under his watchful eyes, the couples spent an enjoyable evening dancing to the progressive music of joe Roland's New York All-Stars . Ami 1 NUI ,1 ,muff Aledivral mood murir.

These programs are conducted, for the most part, by the students themselves and are almost always well organized and co- ordinated. The assemblies serve not only as a point of relaxation during the routine of classwork, but as a means of keeping the classes informed and the school spirit high.

Every other week a different speaker, a specialist in his field, is invited to ad- dress the class. The seniors enjoy the lectures comfortably situated on the orchestra risers. After the speaker has completed his lecture, everyone ad- journs to the cafeteria tables for Coke and con- versation to prepare questions which are then put to the speaker. Much lively discussion usually ensues. The seniors, for the past few years, have been very fortunate in having the economic program. Its past success should assure its con- tinuance.

The story centered around the schemes of the two daughters of Marion Carstairs, a widowed mystery writer. The chi1dren's efforts to find their mother a second husband amid the commotion aroused by two murders in their home town, provided the backbone for the hilarious situations which arose. The actors made the most of each twist in the intricately woven plot. The flying tackles, black eyes, and silent sound effects all added to the fun, making GW Of my 5465- ' the Thespian play one of the most enjoyable evenings at D.H.S. this year.

Dr. Marland, in his last address to the student body, suggested that maturity be added to schol- arship, leadership, character and service as a characteristic of a National Honor Society member. The Honor Society, while not as active as some other school organizations, is a goal for all students and a para- gon for external view. President Rick Prindle inducted eighteen new members into the Society in one of the most taut and most delayed assemblies of the year. Front row, L.-R.: Dr. Atkinson, sponsorg M. Holahan, G.

The orchestra presented a fine program, sparkled by the diflicult Jubilee . Harriet Kerney displayed her talent in a Mozart oboe concerto. Later, Douglas MacLaughlin, another accomplished D.H.S. musician, plied his skill to an exotic solo in the bass viol. Our other instrumental group, the band, shone in the concert march, Skyliner . Among the vocal groups, the A Cappella Choir ex- celled. The chorus sang a surging hymn, a Negro spirit- ual, and a lively novelty, flavored by drum accompani- ment by Charlie Keil, The choir's program terminated in the traditional Hallelujah Chorus . The Girls' Glee Club sang delightful, feminine num- bers in a performance of high caliber. just as spirited was the Boys' Glee Club. Singing some robust old favorites, the boys paused only to hear a song fest by The Laddybucksu, an independent octet of senior boys. Our concert reached its apex when the audience gave a standing tribute to the stiring rendition of Voice of Freedom . The musical talents of both the orchestra and the choir were blended to augment one of Darien High's most memorable Spring Concerts. Mr. Thompson introduces a sober glee club 4 1 L' 133585811 Behind a rather bland season's record, six wins and seven losses, hides a very interesting Darien High School baseball team. During the course of the season the boys proved themselves capable of everything from completing triple plays to committing ten errors in a ball game Cand winning sameb. Despite the team's four-game winning- streak and other occasional bursts of glory, the boys will go on record as being more erratic than sensational.

The varsity line-up of Green, Heideman, Ker- ney, Troneck, Scofield, Bruno, Cronin, Schwartz, and Kingman shut out all opponents by over- whelming scores until the last game of the season with Stamford. At this game Ann King- man pitched a tie game until the last of the sev- enth inning when Stamford took hold of Ann's fast balls and went on to win the game with a score of 7-6. The junior varsity seemed to lack the polished skill of the varsity, but they should prove to be a successful young team in the future. www. .. , ,W..-.a v Second Row, L.-R.: R.

With only two lettermen returning from last year's squad, the team needed to find some new talent. This new talent, for the most part, was supplied in quality by the Seniors, but in quantity and potential quality by the large turn- out of Sophomores. For every departing Senior point-winner two poten- tial Sophomore stars will remain in D.H.S., not solely next year but the year after. Despite the season's lack of success in the victory department, the squad was successful in that it formed the base for a team that, in two year's time should be a strong threat to this season's victorious opponents.

Much of the success of the prom was due to the untiring efforts of Gretchen Duram and Hank Morgan, Co-Chairman.

We soon threw off our identity as a typical class, however, and showed our singularity by absorbing from the rest of the school an overpowering school spirit. The sophomore class distinguished it- self even further as it won, with similar vitality and spirit, the One-Act Play Con- test, presenting Perchance to Dream .

The junior Prom, managed by Rosie Hull and Pete Hill, was a smashing success as couples enjoyed the authentic African atmosphere. We were unusually well represented in various school functions as four of our classmates were chosen to be A.F.S. stu- dents the following summer. Our versa- tility was further displayed by the large number of juniors in key spots on the varsity athletics teams. John Zeugner and Suki Bathrick were chosen to be the vice-presidents of the Student Council, and they conducted the most successful Skate Sale in the history of the Council. Our sophomore enthusiasm was still present, but evolving as we matured was an overtone of individualism that was to carry us into our senior year. 1 I 1 . .1 a I 1 tt, 1 'f,..f 0- . sg - ,.

As seniors we had a new class advisor, Mr. Adams, who helped to guide us along the last lap of a memorable high school career. Early in the fall a steady stream of sen- iors moved toward Dr. Atkinson's ofhce for those famous conferences on our fu- ture. Our class ranks were swelled by the excellent addition of four American Field Service students. japan, Turkey, Sweden, and Germany were now repre- sented in classroom discussions. In the field of dramatics seniors aptly displayed their talents in a polished Sen- ior Play and in several original skits in the Vaudeville Show. Amateur WhiHJ.

Adu .hi- , Q- - n 1 rx + x -,ww juniors If it were at all possible to express in one word a distinctive feature of the Junior Class, versatility might best characterize it. Each member stimulates the ori- ginality and enterprise responsible for the success of the class. Active participation is a habit with juniors, and the result is the integrating force each one pro- vides toward school spirit. The abilities and interests of the Juniors have been felt in all aspects of the school program, They have played a leading part in the intramural and varsity athletic programs and are well represented on the spirited cheerleading squad. Their dramatic efforts were richly rewarded this year with a One-Act Play Contest victory. In music, club activity, social life, and scholarship the junior Class has made its mark. It can hardly be doubted that the junior Class is creat- ing a most memorable reputation for itself. If future success can be predicted on the basis of past achievement, it is likely that this class will find a real fulfillment in its position of leadership next year. We feel sure that whatever the exactions are, the jun- iors will meet them with a seriousness of purpose, tempered by their characteristic joviality. p' 1 think Q 7 7257 Class officers, L.-R.: P.

Sophomores The industrious Sophomores entered D.H.S. en- thusiastically and have accomplished a great deal since their arrival. After having adapted themselves well to routine activity at D.H.S., they began to show their special attributes in the One-Act Play Contest. Sopho- more love of fun was demonstrated in the football dance, a highly successful social event and an evening of enjoyment for all. Athletic ability is another asset of this class, and each Sophomore has made his mark in the sports world . This has been coupled with good sportsman- ship in keen competition and an animated cheering section, indicative of Sophomore enthusiasm. Sophomores have also shown a keen interest in all club activities and have shown good organization in the conduct of their class elections. Their varied interests have proved the Sophomores very active in D.H.S. activities. They have contributed greatly as a unifying force. Altogether, the Sophomore Class has been well represented in everything. Adept in scholarship, ath- letics, music, and extracurricular activities, the Sopho- mores have created a favorable impression and are highly esteemed at D.H.S. They resolve to go on to bigger and better things in the future. Class ofiicers, L.-R.: M. Mularky, Presidentg S. Wrightson Vice-President, L. Schelling, Secretary, R.

Although few team members had had any experience with the two and a half mile run, they managed to finish the season with two wins and three losses. Mr. Wilhemy, the new coach, is to be commended for his enthusiastic coach- ing and for doing the warm-up exercises along with the team. This single gesture was a great morale builder during the first few weeks of training. The weatherman's untimely flood proved to be both- a help and a hindrance. The course had to be rerouted many times. This inconvenience proved an asset when the Stamford Junior Varsity came to Darien. Wfhere the home team found the course diffi- cult, Stamford found it impossible and had to follow Darien's lead. This resulted in a Z1-36 victory for Darien. The season climaxed at the State Meet where Darien finished seventh among nine competitors. Although this year's team accomplished nothing remarkable, the underclassmen who comprised the bulk of the squad showed a potential which brings high hopes for the future. jfielh Iiautkep Despite the many postponements caused by per- petual precipitation, the hockey team finally completed its schedule with a 4-1 record. The varsity team, cap- tained by Claire Green, won landslide victories over Stamford and New Canaan, and edged out Sacred Heart of Noroton, and Westport. The only loss ex- perienced by the team was at the hands of Low Hey- wood, 2-l. Unfortunately for tradition's sake, it was the first field hockey game lost in four years. How- fi rather than lack of ability. ..,4' 1 . For the first time in the hockey teams' history, the squad was accompanied at practices and games by a mascot, Miss Steven's little dachshund, Pixie. She was the liveliest member of the team and certainly ani- mated the girls when spirits dwindled. Special mention ought to be made of the forward line which combined teamwork and individual skill to score more than twenty goals, and of the stalwart defense which averted many would-be rallies. With a nucleus of experienced juniors, we hope next year's team will return the honored title of un- defeated to Darien High.

The Blue Wave's 1955 football season was launched with an overwhelming victory at Yonkers Central. Some fine offensive running by Sal Mazzeo had accumulated 26 points for Darien by the half, while an equally effective defense held Yonkers scoreless. Nearly every D.H.S. gridder played in the second half. Our subs did well, the Wave drowned Yonkers, 39-6. Housatonic Regional made a long trip to our field for nothing. D.H.S. played an excellent ground game, with backs Mazzeo and Saverine excelling. The visi- tor's lone TD was scored from a Darien fumble. junior reserve quarterback Lyon's passing eye accounted for valuable yardage and a TD. After completely out- classing its opponent, the Wave won, 40-6. Although the game with Southington had been threatened by rain, Darien played and suffered its first loss to the Purple Knights on the familiar D.H.S. field. The game was expected to be rough, primarily be- cause of a more powerful, experienced Southington squad. Four costly fumbles and Southingtons power- house line contributed to our loss. The final score: 14-7. The Blue Wave rebounded in its next game, with Bullard Havens Tech, we won, 19-6. Darien suffi- ciently out-played the Techmen to lead at the half by l9 points. However, after the half, Darien seemed to collapse. We did not score again, and only by our stubborn defense did we prevent Techs scoring when the Wave fumbled on their 7 yard line. Our own field washed out, we played the game with Middletown at Westport. This may have affected our luck, because of injuries, we lost two fine backs.

The Tigers proved too fierce for the Wave, which, though it held its own, scored its only TD in the fourth quarter. When Darien dropped the disappointing Staples game, it lost the county title and a bonfire as well. Mazzeo was back in action, but our fumbles and the more experienced Wreckers lost the game for us. In the last minutes of the game, the Wave threatened to tie Westport, but was beaten by its traditional rival by the score of 15-6. Statistically speaking, Darien out-played its next opponent, Roger Ludlowe of Fairfield. We more than doubled the Tiger's gains, but after being the first to score in our spirited first half drive, we dwindled into a sloppy anticlimax. Not one of our seven second-half passes was completed, and Ludlowe, taking advantage of the Wave's fumbles, won the game, 20-6. Our football season admittedly wasn't outstanding. To begin with, the team had potential but little experience, We had more than our share of bad breaks: fumbles, foul weather, and costly injuries. Nevertheless, judged by its spirited eHort and the caliber of its opponents, the team had a successful season. With the style that characterized his play throughout the season, Sal Mazzeo elusively gallops up the field in the Westport game. . . a 9 1' A g ' as -is A 5 Q I 1, ' ' 3 r' x - a' The paure that refresher.

At the start of this Year's basketball season, the D.H.S. fans were dubious. There were only two mem- bers of last year's starting five returning, and Coach MacAusland was faced with the problem of shaping up the inexperienced juniors and seniors who had survived the last cut. Ronny Stone had seen limited action during the previous season, Haley Fromholz had seen most of his action from the bench, and Bobby Frank, a little guard, was little known in bas- ketball circuits. This was not much to work with, however, with the addition of Mr. Hansen to the Blue Wave coaching stall, the worries of training the team were somewhat ameliorated. lr looked like a Mazzeo- Foster supported team, ready to progress through a season in which the ups and downs would be evenly distributed. The hrst few games of the season showed this lack of experience. After romping over two comparatively easy teams, the Wave was stopped twice in a row by a powerful Stamford ball club. In the first two games, against Housatonic Valley Regional and Wright Tech, co-captains Jack Foster and Sal Mazzeo showed the excellent brand of ball that typifies their play. They continued this fine, aggressive style against Stamford, but the Black Knights seemed to capitalize on the frequent Darien blunders. In the second game with this Class A rival Bobby Frank and Ronny Stone began to display some of the hidden talent that needed development. Frank tallied fourteen points and Stone scored eleven in this showing, and even though Stamford squeezed out a three point victory, things were looking up for the Blue Wave. The Alumni, paced by the stalwarts of last year's squad, Lindstrom, Scull, and Flynn, and Danbury, another Class A team, succumbed to the Wave in rel- atively short order. However, the next game against Norwalk proved to be a much tougher contest. The Green Guns won by a decisive margin, 75-60, but all was not in vain as Jack Foster again led in the scoring column. The outstanding player of the eve- ning, however, was Ronny Stone. Pulling down re- bounds olf both backboards and contributing fifteen points to the D.H.S. scoring barrage, Stone played the best game of his young career and established himself as a firm mainstay on the squad. After beating Greenwich by ten points, Darien played the most memorable game of the season against its arch rival, Westport. With both captains out with illnesses, things looked glum for the Wave, but after the game, D.H.S. rooters realized what a good team they were supporting. If this can be ac- credited to one person, Haley Fromholz should re- ceive the honor. Showing indescribable drive and hustle, he almost single-handedly turned the tables on Westport. For the next five games, Darien played only fair basketball, winning three and dropping two. One of the two losses was to Westport, in overtime, 79-72. Four players tallied in double figures. When the confi- dent New Canaan club, led by Wilky Gillmore, hit the Renshaw Road gymnasium, the Blue Wave played the type of ball that they had shown in their previous wins. In turning back New Canaan, 59-56, the Blue Wave clinched a tie for the Class B leadership. No one man was a noticeable standout in the New Can- aan game, but Foster and Mazzeo, as they had been doing all season, led the scoring. As an anticlimax to the New Canaan game, the Darien squad closed out the basketball season with an impressive 74-46 win over Housatonic Valley Re- gional. jack Foster showed his consistent scoring punch, dumping in twenty-three points, and the whole team played the brand of ball that had been out- standing all season.

The Darien High School hockey team ended its season this year with a league record of eight wins, three losses, and one tie. One of the high points of the season was a sparkling victory over the powerful Greenwich squad. Under the experienced tutelage of Coach Hayes, the team placed third in the West- chester County League. In spite of the persistingly small, school-night crowd of six fans or less, the boys managed to give every game all they had. Boasting the classiest skaters in the six team lea- gue, the Darien sextet played excellent hockey throughout most of its twelve-game schedule. At the end of the season, two of Darien's best, Hank Mor- gan and john Gillies,were elected to the Westchester County League All-Star Team. john Gillies led the scoring for the Wave with seventeen points, followed by Paul Rockwell and Dick Brown. Captain Hank Morgan headed the defensive unit of Butch Buchs and goalie Phil Meyer, who chalked up two impressive shut-outs. The team gen- erally was noted for its hard, clean, spectacular plays. The boys started the season off slowly but by the time the second Greenwich game rolled around, they had been molded into a fast-skating, hard-check- ing unit, equal to any in the league. With a first line of Gillies, Rockwell, and Haines, they at times reminded one of the championship team of two years ago. The squad will be hard hit with graduation, losing live players, however, there is a large core of rapidly improving juniors and sophomores who may be counted on to give Darien a fine team in 1957.

The girls opened their schedule by defeating Danbury. In fact, Darien disappointed all opponents - Westport, East Hampton, Stamford, and Low Heywood, until the fateful Fairfield game. Actually, Darien came closer to defeating Fairfield than has any Darien team in re- cent years. Darien's success was due to the ability of the for- wards to pile up an early lead and the effectiveness of the guards' l-2 zone and rebounding power. Under the expert guidance of Miss Stevens, the girls learned Ready Claire, with her usual precision, takes aim. how to penetrate a seemingly impregnable defense and how to stymie the opposing offense. The guards' deft ball-handling and strength under the backboards, combined with the forwards' ability to shoot equally well from either the inside or outside, posed a prob- lem for any opponent. Of course, there were games in which there seemed to be a lid on the basket, es- pecially for the charity-tosses, but Darien overcame most ill-fortune. The prospects for next year look good, although the guards lack valuable height. This year's junior forwards have had some experience in varsity play and they should provide a solid core for next year's squad. So, then he raid . . . Claire, Jeanne, and Ann in conference.

'15 ' Clllanteen Qliummittes The Canteen Committee practically came through fire and floods this year, under the cap- able supervision of Miss Early, to present the D.H.S. student body with three truly memor- able dances. Chairman Fred Werner's wit and originality served as inspiration to the committee which was composed of members elected from each homeroom. A flood on the night of the Hrst dance, the Hollywood Hop , broke things up ri few min- utes early, but did not succeed in spoiling the good time that was had by all. Decorations consisted of clever caricatures of recent movie titles, and an ingenious lighting arrangement. A snow storm increased the excitement of the Sharecroppers' Stomp , at which everyone arrived in authentic hillbilly costume.

Student Council votes on an important issue Stuhznt Qiinuntil During the past year, the D.H,S. Student Council has lived up to the fine performances of previous Councils. Under the unobtrusive guidance of Mr. Peebles and the able leadership of John Zeugner, the Council has successfully sponsored many activities of the school. Among the many functions smoothly and efficient- ly carried out by the Student Council are the sale of Athletic Association tickets, the printing of foot- ball programs, and the sale of refreshments at foot- ball and basketball games. Though dampened by many rainy Saturdays, Council members sold hun- dreds of freshly-roasted hotdogs at football games, along with Cokes and potato chips. The Skate Sale, the decoration of the Christmas tree, and the com- bined drive are other activities for which many mem- bers of the Council put forth a great effort. Much of the money raised is distributed among deserving seniors in the form of academic scholarships. While these accomplishments bring no tangible rewards to members of the Council, the hard work and time, given unselfishly in representing the student body, is satisfaction enough. The Student Council hopes that the following Councils will have as much or more co-operation and success as the present or- ganization has had. - p ' , JJ E' S N-rf N4 Y ss .sig L Ir that ice for sale?

The first Dariannus was a very slight book of only a few pages printed in 1935. Since the first year, the Dariannus has been growing and developing, reflecting the parallel growth of Darien High School. This compar- able growth brings to mind the primary purpose of the Dariannus: to record and reflect our high school, its stu- dents, and their spirit. Recording, however, is not the only purpose of the Dariannus, this would imply merely an after-thought. The Dariannus is designed to nourish and contribute to the same spirit which it records. The spirit of youth is the near tangible force which moves young people to do great things. Youth is life in its pristine form, life learning how to live. How proficient youth is in its efforts determines the success or failure of a generation. An activity such as the Dariannus is a significant train- ing for youth in efficiency. The Dariannus is as much as pos- sible the product of student efforts alone. A few students work for an issue of the Dariannus more than a year, and at one time or another, over half the senior class contributes some time, expense, or effort. The Dariannus, although published by the Senior class, has never been a class book , printed for the enjoyment of only the graduating class. A small portion of the book is annually dedicated entirely to seniors only in that their graduation is a significant part of the school year. The Dariannus is all'of Darien High School: juniors and soph- omores as well as seniors, faculty and administration as well as students. THE 1956 DARIANNUS is the result of much plan- ning and work and is, we feel, a significant step in the development of the Darien High School yearbook. We have in some ways followed the pattern of our predecessors, trying to learn from their achievements, but we have de- parted from their example wherever we thought it necessary. The 1956 Dariannus has launched some ideas entirely new to the Darien yearbook. We have abandoned the concept of a subtle theme interwoven throughout the entire book. Our theme is conhned to the title page, the latter part of this editorial, and seven dividder pages. We believe this concentrated presentation of our theme to be more effective than a continuous, spread-out theme. Unity is promoted by such devices as the Old English type for headings, used through-out, rather than entirely by the theme. Although our confined theme is traditional, The 1956 Dariannus has contributed to development by adding some rather modern features. The blue, heavy stock endsheets and divider pages were instituted not only in accordance with the modern vogue, but also to give the publication more dignity. The staff has tried to vary further the lay- out, arrangement of pictures and copy, by using more bled- off photograph arrangements than has been customary in the past. - In presenting the story of the academic year 1955-56 at D.H.S. , we have attempted to picture every student and faculty member of Darien High School at least once and provide sufficient coverage for every significant organ- ization and activity. The policy of recording the spirit of a year and not a graduating class has been furthered in this publication, therefore, we do not accent the paradoxical, cohesive individualism of the Senior Class but rather the general spirit of the school as a whole. Finally, we have attempted to depict not only Darien High School but also, through our theme, some of Darien itself. DARIEN has only one public high school, therefore, all public high school students in Darien are members of the D.H.Sf' community. This situation, more so than in most communities, creates a close and significant con- nection between town and school: Darien and Darien High School, and in turn the Dariannus. The 1956 Dariannus has tried to recognize this unifying relationship. The present bustling community of Darien has arisen from a colorful colonial heritage. Established in 1640, Darien was officially separated form the neighboring com- munities in 1737 as Middlesex Parish. The original par- ishioners built their meeting house neat the site of the present Congregational church. CSee organization section divider page.J The traditional concern of Darien's citizens for the education of the young had its beginning in 1744 when the first school was erected on Brookside Road.

The Scofield Inn, CActivities dividerj built in 1791, provided a forum for town's early history and, along many discussions in the with Bonnet Hill Farm CUnderclassmen dividerj, is one of the best preserved memories of early Darien. . DARIEN HIGH SCHOOL has had a short but sig- nificant history. Prior to 1927 all high school students in Darien attended Stamford or Norwalk High Schools. De- velopments in the late twenties necessitated the estab- lishment of a high school in Darien. The building was erected in 1927 on the spacious site of the former Wee Burn golf course. D.H.S. development chugged along smoothly in this early period, in spite of the depression and persistent football losses to New Canaan. ln 1952 the new wing added a new gymnasium, several manual arts rooms, and six classrooms to D.H.S. facilities. Today Darien High School is a modern high school of nearly six hundred students. Expansion trends have indicated the need for a new D.H.S. which will be built in the near future. In conclusion, it is our wish that this publication will solidify and preserve your memories of Darien High School, it is to this end that many students have made their con- tributions, and a few have worked far more than one may realize. No one of us, however, regrets his efforts, for we have found them rewarding and, indeed, enjoyable. In seeking your appreciation, however, in no way do we wish to deter anyone from constructive criticism, for of such material is evolved a better Dariannus, a better Darien High School, and a better Darien. :Q-t?iTT3sg,,.,fX Prerzdent Shayr addrenef the assembled millionx. Thespian initiation assembly. Thespian Sntietp Starting out the year in grand fashion, the Thes- pians presented the annual One-Act Play Contest. Financed, managed, and coached by the Thespians, the -contest was a huge success. The Mystery of the Silver-Backed Hairbrush , presented by the junior Class, won a close judges' decision. To celebrate the twentieth anniversary of the school troup, on December seventh, the society had nine large cal-:es made and distributed to the mem- bers of the student body in the cafeteria. When the rnid-year exam tension had ceased with the completion of the last test, preparations were made by the four present Thespians for the initia- tion of forty-one new members, a record in the schools history. With the arrival of january thirtieth, the candidates appeared on the scene wearing plaques, obeying the wishes and commands of the Thespian members, and humbly struggling through initiation stunts. After four days of initiation pranks, as a final test of their desire and ability to become Thespians, the candidates put on, for the whole school, five original skits prior to the Thespian pledge ceremony. With the Thespian ranks now at forty-six, the so- ciety presented Home, Sweet Homicide , which was received by a large and enthusiastic audience. NNNNQ ul do!! The Thespian Society receives the largest new membership in its history. Smitty iBattnl Scattered around the school are fifteen junior and senior boys who seem to gloat over the poor unfor- tunates who are met by GO BACK AND WALK . While this may bring some consolation, on the whole the boys have a pretty hard job. They have to talk to friends, get out of class early, come in late, and show new girls to their classes. If you think this is tough, look at the duties of Chief Averell. He has the hardships of a regular monitor, plus the frustration of having no post of his own. Of course, the girls with whom he walks and the boys with whom he talks while he wanders around the school help a little to ease Rip's dis- comforts. Although the foregoing seems to add up to an outright sinecure, the Safety Patrol is really much more than that. It is truly a service organization. The boys are there to help the school and its students maintain the regimen that is necessary for the safety of everyone. The Squad is an aid and a means to- ward orderly behavior which is vital to keep the traHic in our rapidly growing school moving smoothly. Work on the 1956 Dariannus began last year when, as juniors, the editors were chosen by class election. This advantage of starting work before the rush of the senior year enabled these editors to learn the methods of production from last year's staff, as well as to begin to formulate ideas and make plans before the summer. Our editors attended the annual yearbook confer- ence at Columbia University this fall. Instruction was given in yearbook production to enthusiastic ed- itors. Our editors returned to Darien with high hopes. Shortly afterwards, staffs were chosen and work was assigned, the actual production had begun. Judging from the noise and occasional loud bursts of laughter that issued forth from 205, this year's new Dariannus establishment, one would not have suspected that any work was being done. As each dead-line approached, however, a silence seemed to settle over the general region of 203. Editors were seen rushing back and forth feverishly adding Con- fusion to the school and often upsetting the orderly routine of the office. In spite of the headaches and tensions that ac- company the year's efforts, it has been agreed that working on the Dariannus has been both a valuable and unforgettable experience. Editors, L.-R.: A.

The Neirad Staff lets off steam the day after deadline. jazirah This year, the Neirad, under the editorship of Paul Rockwell, has had many alterations. A new I.B.M. electric typewriter, donated by the class of 1955 and the Student Council, has greatly improved the appearance of the paper and has certainly fa- cilitated the work of the production staff by elimi- nating the typing trips to Conde Nast. The gossip- slander column of past years, The Keyhole Kid , was replaced by profiles of leading figures in D.H.S. and a wider sports and club coverage, leaving more time for careful lay-outs. Although many students clamored for the Kid's return, their pleas fell on the deaf ears of the discriminating editorial staff. A worthy investment was made in the purchase of a supply of phototype, which resulted in the neat page headings, characteristic of the 1955-1956 edi- tions of the Neirad. In the campaign for neatness, one of the first steps taken was to make all the ad- vertisements uniform and carefully typed. It is the feeling of the staff that these improvements have re- sulted in a superior, if not always punctual, publi- cation. We hope that the publication of the Neirad will be as memorable and instructive an experience to our successors as it has been to the staff this year. S 1 I Editors, First row, L.-R.: A.

After many hours of hard work and practice, the choir turned out a sterling performance in the annual Christmas Cantata. This success was achieved largely through the undying patience and persevering supervision of Mr. Thompson, coupled with the enthusiasm of the good-natured accompaniest, Deidre Lamb. During the course of the year, despite the loss of some of the more loquacious members, the group has accomplished a great deal. Many hours of ardent practice pre- pared the choir for its praiseworthy performance in the spring concert. 72 ,I I ll, QI Qlappella Qllbuir EyeJ here, peop1e.

QBttbe5tra The orchestra, that thankless organization one hears but seldom really notices at various functions throughout the year, is rapidly attaining professional calibre. Mr. Thompson's able conducting has con- solidated the group and settled the numerous dif- ferences of opinion on such trifles as pitch, rhythm, and bowing. One of the important functions of the orchestra is its performance at Darien High's many dramatic presentations. The orchestra offers music between the acts of the Senior and Thespian plays, and its melodious strains help to soften the cacophony of scene-changes during the One-Act Play Contest. The chance for the orchestra to exhibit its own merits comes on two occasions: the Christmas Can- tata and the Spring Concert. During the Cantata the orchestra is listened to, not just as a support for the performers, but as a solo group in its own right. The many who heard the rendition of Leroy Andersorfs A Cbrirtmar Ferlizzzl will not soon forget it. The ex- cellent performance showed the hours of careful re- hearsal that are typical of this year's orchestra. ... The purpose of the orchestra is not to train pro- fessional musicians. It is to allow the students to obtain as much musical background as they desire. Y It'J your solo. Mr. Thompson directs practice on a new arrangement. 4 ...eel 1 First row, L.-R.: D. Frybach, M.

Like other schools, Darien High has a band which doubles as a marching and a concert group. This year Mr. Thompson has resumed his former position as band leader, forming it into a worthy organization. The band attends all home football games and major contests at the opponent's field. It sparks suitable and strategic points of the game and per- forms during the half. After the football season, the band has no prominent activities until the Spring .fw- Concert, in which it performs concert numbers, and the Memorial Day Parade, when it represents Darien High as a marching band. A good deal of effort and expense is given to the band: last year, the Music Department equipped the entire unit with sharp Cand expensive-J new jackets, Mr. Thompson spends a great deal of time in re- hearsals, as do the members, who give a creditable contribution when in action. Roll on to victory!

Spanish Qlluh Organized for the development of further under- standing of Spanish and Latin-American culture, the Spanish Club is open to those students who have successfully completed two years of Spanish. Al- though the meetings and activities are not conducted in Spanish, the use of the language is stressed as much as possible. For the edification and entertainment of its mem- bers, the club conducts a program of activities during the year, both in the regular meeting time and out of school. The Spanish Christmas Party, with its breaking of the pinata, has almost assumed the status of a tradition. The Spanish Club Dance, held every january by the club, provides a festive Spanish set- ting, even if the music for the past two years has Monkey Business. leaned slightly toward the modern jazz idiom. The monthly meetings are, in themselves, educational and enjoyable, with guest speakers, with the initiation ceremony where everyones instinct for the ridicu- lous is satiated, and with the possibility of real Span- ish refreghments. X The crowning touch in the year of the Spanish Club comes in the form of a trip to New York. The agenda for the trip usually consists of a movie that imparts Spanish culture, and a meal at a Spanish restaurant. For those who are at all interested in the society and customs of our Spanish and Latin-American neighbors, the Spanish Club is a welcome addition to the schools extracurricular activities. 5137- 'S--...

Jfrentb Clliluh Le Cercle Francais, under the able super- vision of Miss Shefheld, consists of a small group of students who have completed one or more years of French. Meeting informally on the second Wednesday of every month, mem- bers take part in lively discussions, the conver- sation being en francais . During the course of the year, club discussions were supplemented with many varied activities: games, movies, speakers, slides, and parties of all kinds, many almost defying description. The program, planned by the students and assisted by Miss Sheffield, was designed to link Darien High School with French culture and civilization. One of the highlights of the French Club social schedule was a very successful Christmas party featuring a farcical parody of Les Miserables , performed by several Senior girls.

Each suc- ceeding class has added a few new neurotics who desper- ately need an intellectual crutch or an escape from the world of reality, or just like to play chess. The Chess Club, this year, violently reversed its trend toward stagnation by instituting a point system whereby members acquire points for wins and zeros for losses. From a player's number of points, his rank in the club may be determined. The system, quite obviously, will need a thorough and complete revision, as a girl was ranked first at one time during the year. With the establishment of an inter-school chess league, Darien launched itself into a very successful career of tournament play. No team in the past, however, has equalled the record in the won-loss column that this year's team has turned in, nor has any team produced games of higher quality. There were fewer swindles , over-looked piece wins, or outright blunders this year than ever before. Indeed, this season appears to be the culmination of all of Darien's chess experience. A Mr. Peterson feels that between the Junior High School club and his own sophomores and juniors, enough good players will turn up to compose next year's team. It will be a long time, however, before these players rank with the present team of John Zeugner, Jim Young, Paul Rockwell, Hank Morgan, and Sal Pace. TMJ game if rougher Ibm: I thought.

Efuniur Bah Qllruss Led by Miss Stone and its capable president, Bob Kramer, the Junior Red Cross has had an excellent year. Among its major activities, the junior Red Cross has spon- sored the sending of a chest to less fortunate children abroad. The articles were ordered from various stores by small groups of members. Packing the chest took much planning and ingenuity, but it was a worthwhile project and provided fun for all who participated. The annual Red Cross Drive in November proved to be extremely profitable. With a unified effort on the part of all the representatives, who enthusiastically urged on the many contributors, the organization raised a great deal of money, exceeding its goal. The money went to help Red Cross institutions all over the world. One of the most commendable activities of the Junior Red Cross members this year occurred during the flood in Darien, at which time many people were forced from their homes. These people needed help, and the junior Red Cross was there to give it. Many members were out all day making sandwiches for rescue workers and those who were homeless. Others delivered clothes, and still others helped people move furniture out of their disheveled homes. These actions show the Red Cross's readiness and willingness to help in times of need.
