ign School D owningtown Joint 1 I Contents ★ ADMINISTRATION ★ CLASSES ★ ACTIVITIES ★ FEATURES ★ ADVERTISEMENTS This year the theme for our Cuckoo is the students of Downingtown High School since they have such an important part in making the school what it is today. Without students who aspire to success in the fields of scholarship, leadership, and sports, our school could not maintain the fine reputation it holds today among other schools. As the pupils leave high school, they will carry with them the knowledge they have gained, the talents they have begun to develop, and many memories of their associations. In this way Downingtown High School will play its part in shaping the future of the world. The cornerstone of the present building of the Downingtown Junior-Senior High School was laid September 17, 1932, on land which was purchased from W. I. Pollock. The Directors at the time this new school building was erected were as follows: Ernest Smedley, President G. Elliot Perry. Vice-President N. Leland Wilson, Secretary Thomas W. Downing. Treasurer Belle M. Hutchison Graham H. Bentley Floyd C. Fretz was the principal at this time, working with a staff of forty-two teachers. The entire enrollment of pupils in the three schools was one-thousand-three hundred, and the number in the Senior class was more than seventy. Since then the enrollment of the schools has rapidly increased. This rapid increase of pupil population has caused quite a problem, so in order to accomodate the extra pupils that are coming from the Townships, the board considered consolidation. At the November election in 1949 the borough and townships voted, and consolidation was adopted. Thus a Joint Board has been formed, and a larger building is in the process. The townships belonging to this Joint Board are: West Bradford. East Bradford, East Cain, Wallace, Upper Uwchland, Uwchland, and the Downingtown Borough. Later West Pikeland voted to join the others. Although this district has two members sitting in at the meetings, she will not become an active member until 1951. The officers of this Joint Board are: Mr. George Nixdorf, President Mrs. Edwin Baldwin, Vice President Mrs. Alice Ezrah. Secretary Mr. Howard Baldwin, Treasurer Mr. Theodore Rogers, Solicitor Work on a new wing to the present Junior-Senior High School Building has now been started and is expected to be finished sometime during the 1951-52 school year. We, the class of 1951, wish to thank Mr. Charles Emery, Supervising Principal, and Mr. Samuel Evans, Principal, for their untiring efforts to make our school a successful one. For your untiring efforts to make D. H. S. a better place in which to live, for your ability to “stick in there pitching when the going was pretty rough for your effort to be a friend to everyone who has had the pleasure of working with you. for your talent of doing so much with so little, for all this and so much more, to you, we dedicate this, our 1951 Cuckoo, with all it means to us. With all the sincerity wfe can find in our hearts, thanks Mr. Irwin..........we will never forget you. administration Wowningtown $°int Sfigl School d]oa d of Education OFFICERS Mr. George E.

Remetz Raymond DiSerafino Donald Heilman Charles Ax Michael Mento Samuel Charles Dr. Carl Dent The purpose of this council is to organize, develop, and direct an interscholastic athletic program in the Downingtown Public Schools. Office Staff Charles P. Emery Mrs. Mary Foreman Mr. Emery, supervising principal of the Downingtown Public Schools, needs no introduction. During this year, he has been quite busy with preparations for the construction of the new wing of our high school building. In addition to his specific duties, which are too numerous to mention, he always finds time to help when he is needed. His assistance to the teachers and students is of infinite value. Mrs. Mary Foreman, secretary to Mr. Emery, ably assists our supervising principal with his work. She is indispensable not only because of her knowledge of the work of the office, but also because of her willingness to help anyone who asks her. Samuel M. Evans Miss Josephine Flynn Mr. Evans, principal of the Downingtown High School, has confronting him at all times the many problems which deal with the student body. He has always solved our problems, whether they were great or small. He is ever present to help the young people who need his advice, and his guiding hand is always appreciated. Miss Josephine Flynn, better known as “Jo” to the students, is secretary to Mr. Evans. She is Activities treasurer and is kept very busy with her duties. Although this is her first year in our school, she has become an admired friend and helper to all. Miss Loretta Kaempfer Miss Kaempfer. a new addition to the office staff this year, is a very capable worker. She has charge of the daily bulletin, keeps the attendance records, does work for the Athletic Association and keeps the cafeteria accounts. She is always willing to offer her services when they are needed and is well liked by all the students and teachers. (Science and c llatliematics Michael J.

The band showed a new and colorful performance each game. On Thanksgiving Day it formed a Church, while the Cheerleaders dressed in Pilgrim costumes, marched through the door which was formed by our Majorettes. This is just one of the many performances. This season’s success was made possible by the co-operation of each member in the band and the great amount of effort of our band director, Mr. Irwin. He worked hard to build up one of the best bands D. H. S. has ever had. The majorettes participated in pageants during the football season as well as in the parades. They all will be back with the band next year with bigger and better steps. They did a great job and the Class of ’51 wishes them best of luck in the future.

Laura Chandler Mary Ippolito Connie Hamilton Edith Forte Janet Kriebel Sara Taylor Joan Pollock Without any doubt this was one of the most versatile and clever groups which have ever directed the cheerleading of Downing-town High School. Because of these girls, the students always looked forward to the pep assemblies, eager to cheer and to sec the skits which never failed to arouse enthusiasm. They were an important part of every athletic game during the year and were highly praised by everyone. (■''janio'i Ckee’ileaJe’is Coach — Miss Barbara Coates These girls led the cheers for the Junior High football and basketball games giving the support which both teams needed to secure the excellent seasons which they had. They also helped to put on the pep assembles which were so successful this year. They worked hard and never failed to get the response which good cheerleading always receives. _Majo’iettes Coach — Mr. Edward Irwin Theresa Sciarretta C. Rea Swarner Mary Lou Foreman Faye Stauffer Pauline Beam The most colorful Doris Schmehl Patsy Osborne Patsy Piersol Jo Ann Forbes Betty Phillips group in the school was this organization known as the Majorettes. To become a member of this group required much time and hard work but the results were very evident to all. Their jobs were many. They performed at all the football games, marched with the band, and were often called upon to do stunts in pep assemblies. Indeed, they did much to support the school throughout the entire year. The 1950 football season was considered one of the most successful in the history of the school since the Downing-town team won seven of the nine games it played. Of all the games, the most outstanding was the Downingtown - West Chester clash in which our team was victorious to the tune of 12 - 6. Our school has always held to the belief that “it is not the size of the man but his ability and his desire to work.” This statement is proved by a comparison of D. H. S. with its selected opponents. So we say “Hats off” to the Blue Gold Whippets” and their coach, Mr. Caskey. Senio'i Mgk 9oo all Scopes D. H. s.

As Ever, A SENIOR 1(District Cliolus This year Downingtown was host to the Southeastern District Chorus, an occasion of outstanding interest and importance. This chorus was composed of 210 students, coming from 38 different schools. The events began with registration on Thursday, January 4. Practice began immediately and continued for three days. For entertainment, the boys and girls attended a banquet at the Methodist Church on Thursday night and a dance at the high school on Friday night. The culmination of three days’ work and fun came with the presentation of the concert itself in the high school on Saturday night. Every year the Senior Class has a Student Day with the Seniors acting as teachers. The Class of '51 elected the following office force: Ronald Hogg as Supervising Principal and Anthony Mento as Principal. These boys chose Mary Smedley. Sara Cumens and Helen Knauer as the office secretaries. The Seniors are now sure they know the problems and the troubles of a teacher. The office was the busiest place in the school and the committee who sponsored this event were so worn out that they could not make it to school the next day. Jane Pomig was an excellent Art teacher. Peggy Gee kept the office quite busy. Alan McCausland used the paddle to enforce his orders. Janet McDonald was quite surprised to And Mr. Caskey in the back of the room at the end of a History class. Dorothea Snyder learned a lot of General Science from the 7th graders. Richard Ratliff, too, learned something; how to take pictures with someone else’s camera. As a general rule, the Seniors had a wonderful time and hope the future classes will enjoy the same.

The Class of ’51 Witnesses: Barbara Buckley Jane Romig Finger in Every Pie Janet's Flame Newcomer Lover 3roin of the Commercial Class Mr. Activities Check back pages for the answers. ,a yyer Marian's Man This is the Wayne Miller Show which can be heard every Friday night at 10:00 on station WCAU. Tonight, in connection with my regular broadcast, I am going to report on the dinner dance given by the alumni of Downingtown High School for the Class of 1961. Since the Class of ’51 is celebrating its first decade, nearly all of the 76 who graduated in 1951 are present. Crossing the dance floor at the present time are the honorable L. Ronald Hogg and his wife, Sara, who have just arrived from Washington. Accompanying them are the renowned Joseph Lamoureaux and his wife, the former Jane Romig, who is now a designer for Metro Golden Mayor. To my right at the edge of the floor Robert Landino and Jack Helm of the New York Yankees, are obviously enjoying a story being told by millionaire, Gordon Carpenter. Entering the doer are a lively foursome: Miss Beverly Noll, head of the Homemaking Department of Lower Merion High School and Miss Virginia Manley, Private Secretary to Reverend Fred Bagshaw, accompanied by Mr. Anthony Mentc, Shop teacher at D. H. S. and Mr. Marvin Frederick, the Music Director at the same school. Mr. Christy Christ, featured soloist in Stan Kenton’s band and his wife, “Toots”, have just joined a group composed of Donald Lear, Charles Long, Robert Sheeler, Willis Lewis and Alan McCausland. These men took vacations at the same time in order to visit California where William Arrowood won the Golden Cup for stock car racing. Miss Mary Henley, who manages the Coatesville High School cafeteria, and Miss Jane Pendergrast, supervisor of the Penna. Bell Telephone operators, are carrying on a lively conversation with the Misses Amelia Wando, Ethel Mercer and Margaret Fisher, fellow workers of Miss Pen- dergrast in the telephone company. Arriving somewhat tardy are Loretta Short and Frank Thrailkill, both reporters for the Philadelphia Inquirer, who immediately proceed to a group composed of Miss Nancy Hackman, Miss Marie Bernard and Miss Kay McNelly. These three girls are currently famous for Nancy is coach of the Champion Roller Derby team, while Marie and Kay won first and second places in the latest Miss America contest at Atlantic City. Music for the dance is furnished by Ernest McNeil and his “Hot-Spots”. Several members of his band who are D. H. S. graduates are Paul Boggs, James Watson and James Warnick. Their sensational singer, Lucille McNeil, is now singing her hit song, “I Will Wait”. Seated with the band is Marian Wilkerson, who has decided to give up a nursing career to become Mrs. Warnick. As special features, during intermission, Miss Virginia Madrigale gave a version of the dance which has made her a top ranking television star and Richard Shaner gave a demonstration of Marksmanship when hunting rabbits. Speakers at the dinner earlier this evening were the well known Dr. Helen Knauer, Doctor of Psychiatry in the New York State Mental Hospital and Miss Joyce Harple, President of the Business and Professional Women’s Club of Penna. After the dinner awards were made for outstanding work in various fields during the year 1960: In the field of photography to Mr. James Zaferes, Photographer for the New York Times; In the field of Athletics to Mr. William Royce, Coach of the Philadelphia Eagles; In the field of business to Miss Janet Morrison, who is in charge of the Sales Department of Wanamaker’s Department Store. Seen dancing to the wonderful music are the following: Miss Jacqueline Draper, Supervisor of nurses at the Delaware General Hospital; Mr. Albert Gerringer, Manager of the Downingtown Department Store; Mr. Gerald Brammer, now working in the Lighting Effects department of N. B. C.; Ruth Smith, who has given up her career as Private Secretary to a Colonel to marry a Buck Private; The former Margaret Gee, whose husband has just been commissioned an Admiral and the four private secretaries of the class; Jennie Dinsdale, Lucretia Lewis, Nancy Mercer and Leona Gibson. Donald Lee, the bouncer at Russel William’s Cafe “Drink It Dry”, is dancing with the petite Dorothy Flowers, who is cashier at the same place, while Theresa DiSante, Secretary to A. I. DuPont, is enjoying the company of Mr. William Hughes, the owner of the Cadillac agency of Downingtown. Mr. William Hayes, the recently elected head of the Milk Control Board, and Miss Beatrice Jamescn have joined the dancers. From members of the Class of ’51 who are not able to be here tonight best wishes keep coming in. Miss Jean Swinehart and Mr. Hugo Schwandt have won top honors for their super-farm projects and are in Washington to receive their prizes. Miss Mary Smedley is in that same city to award the prize for the F. H. A. of which she is national chairman. Paul Miller, an outstanding concert pianist, is giving a concert at Carnegie Hall. The former Dorothea Snyder is attending a dinner given in honor of the ten best dressed women in America, and Miss Virginia Burgess is singing the title role in Carmen at the Metropolitan Opera House. Hope Thompson, Margaret Flinn and Grace Kaiser happily married now are not able to be present because of family responsibilities. Mr. Richard Ratliff and his wife, the former Janet McDonald, have sent their regards from Bermuda where they are spending the eaily summer months. Miss Helen Reardon and Mr. Larry Thompson are competing in the Powers Model contest in New York City this week. Miss Barbara Buckley, a captain in the Waves, is now serving in Guam while Miss Mary Jane Huss, chef at the Hotel Commodore, is presenting her regular television program. Frcm Mr. Richard Stoudt comes the latest congratulations. He is not able to attend because of the early hour at which he must rise to deliver milk. My program is now coming to a close. If you enjoyed this show, listen tomorrow night to a review of the banquet of the West Chester High School alumni. This is Wayne Miller signing off. At the sound of the gong, it will be 10:30.
