The editors statement r e la t i n g what these pages record to the school as a whole. W The accomplishment of 1954-55 has for the most part been to carry forward innovations already made. The Seniors, for instance, are the first to present to colleges their scores on the General Composition Test, which the Parker class of 1950 took in its first ex- perimental form. The class of 1967, grouped and taught by methods introduced in 1950, is now the sixth to be- gin reading without 'prob- lems' or 'remedial cases'. Students, faculty, and par- ents again had the T.B. X- ray survey here which we were the first to undertake as a school unit -- and First and Second Graders supplemented this public health participation with Salk Polio Vaccine inocu- lations. Grades Four, Five, and Six put on TV the tab- leaux and musicfrom their Christmas program, Grade Ten transplanted A Mid- summer Night's Dream . from our auditorium to the 'W' I M. . ga. Farragut High Schoolg typ- ing classes were held in school for those who wi shed, Student Government extend- ed its local activities by joining North Shore and the 1 vi .,:L R, Latin School in what prom- ises to become an annual ' ' ' conference, students advised and conferred with the Faculty in revising the traditional schedule of activities to make room for growth and change. New students proposals followed instantly on the announcement of this revision. And possibly the promptness, originality, and imagination of these new proposals are the most significant aspects of the year. On April 22, the Orchestra and the Special Chorus helped in a beautiful and touching evening exercise in honor of the last of our three great Founders, Mrs. Emmons Blaine. Long ago, Mrs. Blaine said that the moving power toward founding this school was the belief that it should not be 'hampered by the weight of ignorant demand and blind conservatism', but' free to take such steps as seem sure ones toward a better education'. This freedom we cherish. It has been used in 1954-55 to move forward in ways that neither reject the past nor are bound by it, and with undiminished momentum. Herbert W.

To be or not to be itll-XQIIHE7 I The first senior play of 1955 set a high stan- dard with two sparkling versions of condensed Shakespearean plays, The Taming Of The Shrew and Hamlet. The casting, the maturity and depth of the plays themselves, and the challenge of making Shakespeare enjoyable to all ages served as in- centive to the seniors,and those in the audience can testify that they succeeded. SHE E093 IEE 7. Servents, your master is back! 8. Hamlet the Dane! 6 U 16 SHE? IM Taming Of The Shrew , a fast farce, was led by John Wahl as the undaunted suitor of Joan Makler, a maiden violent in word and deed. The consequences of this cataclysmic courtship were presented with skill and enthusiasm. Hamlet , second in the program,is one of the theatre's most dif- ficult plays, Tony Shafton, in the title role, turned in a taut, polished portrayal of the indecisive Dane. Skillfully supported by Jacquie Fuerst as Ophelia and others in the cast, with an original accom- paniment played by a Parker quartet, the performance was an undis- puted triumph.

Giraudoux developed his fantasy from a German legend. The ironic twist of this cinderella story lies in its unhappy ending. True, the beautiful creature won her handsome knight, but the joy they knew with each other was destined not to last. The intervention of Bertha, the Dark Angel, destroyed the super-saturation 1 1 i f l i 1 ' i 5 5 in I to 3- V' I - , If 1 ' i :if ft' Q i I t 1 I A , gg i 1 4 of Undlne' s love for Hans. Both Lois and Anne were excellent as the principal Undlne. The differences between their interpretations sparked the play for the two per- formances. Tommy's portrayal of Hans, the man trapped between Bertha, his selected mate, and Undlne, who made him her godg was most convincing. A f QW. 'X 'H 6 I' . 1 V 0 1 V V as Q, s l A p H . ,. . i X , ,,.'g it Fantasy, bothin sets, and in the tlmelessness of the Undlnes, swept the play along. And it was not unexpected that in accordance with the pact Hans was summoned by Death, in the person of the kitchen maid. The mythical and ethereal mood that d1stlngulsh Undine make it palpable for Undine to return to her underwater eternltp. F, ff flfg gwffgiby F -6 fi ?

During the three week span of the mid-No- vember, everyone from first grade opportunity to participate. The younger be a tremendous help by contributing original items to Toyshop. Their ing. The older students designed and difficult projects. The parents gave rials and time to make Toyshop more of a. Seventeen neighborhood agencies were by Toyshop. At the beginning of October, the visited each of the centers and learned how fill some of their needs. The weeks before Toyshop's ing were spent at the drawing board. As a result the struction end of the project went off smoothly and Today each of these centers has augmented its program thanks to our efforts. Toyshop 1954 strove for high quality and less quantity. We achieved both. Our equipment will withstand years of use. For this reason, we know that our Toyshop has been a success. TOY S 6. Who Said that? Lead 'em Griff Page Forty-two Steady boy 'X .

On April 22, 1955, a memorial program for Anita Blaine was given under the sponsorship of the Francis W. Parker Association. Sev- eral of Mrs. Blaine's favorite songs and four movements from Mozart' s REQUIEM were performed by the group. As we go to press two performances of Gluck's ORPHEUS are in preparation with solo- ists from the group, and choruses and dances performed by members of the Special Chorus The orchestra suffered somewhat this year by the loss of some personnel but was able, in addition to accompanying the MESSIAH at Christmas Vespers and the above mentioned presentations with ex- cellence, to give two Morning Exercises of its own. The quality of its performances remains high despite short and infrequent rehearsaland incomplete instrumentation. Thanks are due Lillian Poenisch, the pa- tient and indefatigable director of the group. BOTTOM ROW: J. Shapira, L. Uyehara, S. Cornbleet, F. Culberg, A. Miner, J. Potts, J.

Committee attempted to make a revision in the established pattern. We fa- vored a maximum of four exer- cises a week. By imposing this limitation we hoped to improve the presentations. However, find- ing ourselves swamped with ex- ercises,we were forced to aban- don the idea. The cooperation we received from the D.A. was ac- cepted most gratefully. Also, more exercises were conceived in the classroom than we could possibly have anticipated. Alto- gether though, the Committee be- lieves we presented a high cali- bre series this year, and both gave and derived satisfaction from doing it. Page Forty-nine Teacher' s : Actors?

In conjunc- tion with other Student Government Committees, the D.A. was enabled to present a series of evening pro- grams, such as Arsenic and Old Lace . Le Petit Prince served as a format for the Forum, which was a highlightof the year. All together, we had a wonderful year, and hope we gave our audiences many pleas- ant moments.

WEEKLY This year's Parker Weekly was, in some ways, no different from Weeklies of other years, and in some ways, entirely dif- ferent. We found that we encountered many of the same problems Edited articles drew complaints from their original writers and frequently, deadlines were ignored by reporters. Only favorable criticism was used until late in the year,when like other policies, it was questioned and changed. But, the Weekly was brighter than it was dark. The staff, larger than in any recent year, set more of the Weekly standards, and found themselves helping to put the Weekly onto the layout sheet, from which it is printed. To some extent, the newspaper became an educational organ, often devo- ting half or more of an issue, to events outside school. Old and established layouts were used in different ways, and once in a while, the Weekly looked really unusual. For variety, two page, and small issues appeared, and once, a large, six page paper in place of the customary four. What did the Weekly do this year? lt helped to inform students and faculty, to originate thinking on many topics, and to stimulate students' opinions. It allowed Parkerites to work together and produce a newspaper of which they could be proud, and enabled eyeryone to learn by experience, and by one another's mistakes. Each week, people contributed new ideas, related what they liked and disliked, and criticized the product as a whole. I believe the school enjoyed its newspaper because it represented the tal- ents of many people. ...E PRINTS This year's Prints staff has sincerely striven to present the true picture of Parker's creative writing ability. This picture contains a cross-section view and, perhaps more important, a patchwork of the most able efforts. This year there has been a greater distribution of responsibility among those concerned with the book, stimulating a correspondingly greater interest on the part of the staff and student body. This increased interest has led to contributions of a more thoughtful nature, and a higher standard of quality.

We ended with one of the most improved teams in both divisions, beating Elgin 34-03 tied big North Park in the playoffs O-0, becoming the only White division team to escape defeat in the playoffs. Eight members of the team were honored on all league teams, not bad for a team that didn't finish its schedule the year before. We had a new coach, new spirit and determination, and we had a better season. Our team's youth means that we will have a better one next year when most of the players are back.

All day -- or all year long, you' ve been surrounded by objects, by people, by a continuous succession of major and minor events, pressures, slumps, points of varying interest. This has passed before your eyes, but much of it you have only noted, being too involved to take stock. Even now, scattered images come to mind in this new perspective, images without order or sequence, samplings of the last session. A figure leaning on a pillar, debating with himself in iambic pentameter. . .A chorus, performing with a purpose, gaining a pardon from Mozart for an insult dealt him just a few days before. . . Mixed reactions to faculty pruningof traditions. . .Hot and heavy student government, steadily gaining on previous years. . .Morning Exes, Thanksgiving, Christmas, exams -- wearing a little deeper into a four-year groove. . .the two hundred faces flashing by you each day, the sights and sounds of a year melt into a blur and are filed somewhere at the back of your brain as you rise, tighten your belt, and prepare for the next session, more of the same, and much that will seem new. But you can't leave this behind as you proceed, even if you wish tog it's now a part of you, something on which to build the next year, and the years after. Your prospects lie open, but the past is not closed. Page Sixty-four I, ff. , .wx-ix, mm ' - ..hq.:f ly 4 ' 1.-,-L,-V. ' iff?
