Downingtown High School - Our Year Cuckoo Yearbook (Downingtown, PA)

Text from Pages 1 - 116 of the 1958 volume:

2 St r $ £ O The Class of 1958 Downingtown Joint High School presents OUR YEAR , ■ e°+' hj ' fib ' Editor-in-Chief ....... Ronald Davis Associate Editor _______ Kay Gallatin Literary Editors . Mena Massimini Mary Ann Hamilton Art Editor Carmella Casenta Photography Editors Marie Quartucci Felicia Farnsworth Business Editor Audrey Dawson Typing Editors Mary Hughes WV,7 .. r r - urX This year the editorial staff has chosen the Whippet as the theme of the yearbook. The Whippet sets our school apart and therefore depicts more than a mascot. It exemplifies school spirit, and school life in all its phases. We are loyal to the ideals which it portrays both to others and to us. Most of all it represents the students and the alumni. It is the symbol of that purpose which makes us work to gain for our school a creditable reputation—that purpose which makes Downingtown Joint High School truly our Alma Mater. We sincerely hope that you, our readers, will find this hook both enjoyable and instructive. RONAU) DAVIS Editor 2 Dedication More than ever before, science and mathematics are tremendously important areas of education. Those who teach in these fields have a significant job to do. Theirs is the task of shaping the future and helping to build a better world. In these subjects the enthusiasm and knowledge shown by Mr. Remetz have greatly influenced the students of Downingtown Joint High School. Because of your sincere interest in us as individuals and future citizens, you have brought honor to the teaching profession. As a tribute to your inspiration, the Class of 1958 dedicates its yearbook to you in remembrance of Our Year together, MR. MICHAEL J.

Sportsmanship Award In this picture Ralph J. Reiman, Director of Public Relations of the Bishop Company of Malvern, is presenting the Sportsmanship Trophy to Downingtown High School. This award is given each year to a school in the Ches-Mont League for the good sportsmanship shown by its team and spectators during the football season. After having earned the first trophy for three years, our school has gained permanent possession of it. During the 1957 season, we have won the second trophy in the first year that it has been offered. Our school is proud of its supporters who have combined good judgment with their enthusiasm. 64 Championship - Sportsmanship Congratulations to our undefeated football team. You were one of the most pleasant surprises of our 1957-58 school year which was a most enjoyable one. It certainly required more than several boys to make this team; it required team work, determination, and confidence which you displayed from the outset. The entire student body, faculty, and administration were proud of the way “our boys played the game.” You were undefeated, co-champs of the Ches-Mont League, which was commendable; but your determined spirit, your sportsman-like conduct during the game, and your fine attitude in school have gained for you most acclaim. Yes, boys, although you have won games, you have gained most admiration for your fighting spirit. MR.

PAUL WOODY High honors were bestowed upon the football team when it emerged the highest scoring and the best defensive team in the Ches-Mont League. Distinction was gained by many individual players. Plank, Pennypacker, Thompson, and White were elected to the first All-Ches-Mont team, while Henry and Arasim made the second team with Keers and Ulissi receiving honorable mention. Plank and White were chosen to the second “All-Scholastic” team and White received honorable mention to the “All-State” team. Bud White was also selected as the player of the week in the Philadelphia and suburban area by the Philadelphia Sports Writers. With a word of praise and a feeling of regret we laud you for a job superbly done and say farewell to the senior boys for helping make the 1958 football year one of the best in the history of Downingtown High School.
