It may be for years and it may be forever; Oh, why art thou silent, thou voice of my heart? Printed by the Students of the Print Shop, Girard College, Philadelphia. Founder ' s Day Scene in the South Portal of Founder ' s Hall Hordes of young and old alumni, students, and moth¬ ers, their hearts warm with gratitude, pause again to bow in homage within the south portal of this precious ' tem¬ ple on the hill.’ Here in a beautiful but plain sarcopha¬ gus lie the last remains of our god-father. Before it rises the Gevelot statue of this wise and charitable Philadel¬ phian. Only a Girardian can know with what deep emo¬ tion they humble themselves before this hallowed enclo¬ sure; here is something no ordinary mortal would dare even to imagine lest he tres¬ pass in the realm of some¬ thing Divine. One has to be in daily touch with the inner life of the students and alum¬ ni to sense this rare ambro¬ sial ozone which Girardians alone seem to breathe here.” DEDICATED TO THE MEMORY OF STEPHEN GIRARD CABIN BOY - MARINER - MERCHANT - BANKER Class of January 1951 HUMANITARIAN . . . who five times between 1783 and 1820 led the fight against yellow fever epidemics in Philadelphia and in 1831 left nearly $7,000,000 to the people of this city for city improvements, the relief of poor widows, and the maintenance and education of their orphaned sons. PATRIOT . . . who during the War of 1812 helped save the United States from bankruptcy by arranging for the purchase of $8,000,000 in bonds above substantial subscriptions of his own. FOSTER FATHER . . . who has maintained and educated the boys of this Class and over 15,000 others. On this day of graduation from Girard College we salute him with deep gratitude, fer¬ vent admiration, and undying love. A Parting Expression of Appreciation is Extended to Miss Vera L. Goodrich Mr. John A. Lander Miss Ann M. Haid Mr. John R. Kleiser If anyone deserves appreciation for the work done for us, it is our hosts, hostesses, and Miss McGhee. Without them our social affairs would have been very uninteresting and unguided. They added the spark that has made our class the complete success that it has enjoyed. As long as any part of the Class of January ' 51 remains, the remembrance of their helpfulness will live. THE CORINTHIAN January To the Class of January 1951 : One of the most difficult lessons which a young man has to learn as he grows to maturity is that an acceptance of responsibility is the price paid for the blessing of freedom. As youngsters we have a natural inclination to seek and to cherish freedom. At first it is personal freedom we want, the oppor¬ tunity to do the things we like to do, the avoidance of tasks which are dis¬ tasteful. Later, our concept becomes more general, less personal, as we sub¬ scribe to the Four Freedoms of the Atlantic Charter and similar definitions of freedom. Here at Girard College, as you passed through childhood to young manhood, you discovered that your individual freedom was limited by the rights of others and by an obligation to assume certain responsibilities. You were held responsible for studying your lessons, for following the rules of acceptable behavior as members of a group, for conforming to the code of athletic competition. These were restraints upon absolute freedom, but ones which you came to recognize as necessary for mem¬ bers of a large social unit. Some of you developed a high sense of responsibility and became leaders of your fellows. You learned that leadership imposed even greater restraint on personal freedom. In working for the good of your class and of your school you willingly accepted the burden of responsibility, too busy to grieve over the loss of a freedom which somehow grew to have less significance. Now you are leaving Girard to enter into the life of a nation which, like you has but recently matured to a position of great responsibility. Neither you nor this nation can ever again return to a state of childish freedom, selfish and free of respon¬ sibility. For your sake, for the sake of the nation and for the sake of the family of nations, I hope that you have learned well this lesson. May you have strength to employ this knowledge wisely and unselfishly for the survival and advancement of the great nation of which you now become active, young adult citizens, jealous of your freedom, proud of your responsibility. Sincerely, W. B. WOLCOTT, JR. Director of Secondary Education 1951 THE CORINTHIAN PRESIDENT MERLE M. ODGERS Whose inspiring Chapel talks influenced us in so many of the good ways of life. MR. JOHN C. DONECKER, Assistant to the President Whose cool judgment in business affairs leaves a happy picture in our memories. DR. E. NEWBOLD COOPER Vice President Whose eagerness and interest in making the College a better place of residence for growing boys kept him in the foreground of our experi¬ ence. DR. WILFRED B. WOLCOTT Director of Secondary Education Whose sterling qualities of friend and gentleman we shall never forget. MR. EMIL ZARELLA Associate Director of Secondary Education Whose ability to command the respect of Allen Hall boys and all high school students will long be remembered. MR. JOHN HOUSTON Director of Elementary Education Whose ability to guide the affairs of younger boys is at all times outstanding. MR. MALCOLM NICHOLSON Associate Director of Elementary Education Whose fine sense of humor and readiness with a helping hand for all are appreciated by the younger boys. 1951 THE CORINTHIAN Mr. Daffin Mr. Bonekemper The editing staff wishes to express its sincere appreciation of the guidance and energy of the printing instructors who have made the production of THE CORINTHIAN possible for the Class of January 1951. Thanks—is the word Mr. Edward Anderson The Class of January ' 51 extends its thanks and good will to the alumnus who gave his time and personal interest to the task of the photography of this book.

Dear Classmates: The time has come for us to depart into a new life, a life which can be glorious or dreadful, happy or unhappy, good or bad. It is up to each one of us to decide which it is to be. How can I explain my feelings and affection for a group of companions whom I have learned to know like brothers? 1 can never pour out my feelings to you because they cannot be expressed with words. We can be proud of ourselves as a class and as individuals. We attempted many things which no class before us ever thought of and in so doing we are leaving a challenge to the lower classes. It’s been a happy childhood. We have become acquainted with various types of personalities and we have learned to be compatible during our stay at Girard. Let us apply the principles and morals which we were taught so well. Be proud of yourself. Be proud of the class of January 1951. Be proud of Girard. Keep looking ahead. Keep your chin up no matter what problems confront you. Be kind, friendly, and brave. I am deeply proud to have had bestowed upon me the honor of leading this class. 1 thank sou lot your cooperation, which has enabled us to accomplish many ivorthwhile things. In parting. I pray God that each of you may live a successful and fruitful life. Sincerely, id -{12K January JOSEPH McDEVITT (Moc) President of Student Body 1104 Mt.

Although green at it, we seem to be catching on. Dances are such fun! Summer Frolics was a grand success due largely to the efforts of emcee Don Coine, with his sense of humor and leader¬ ship. Saturday, June 4, 1949: Many of us went to the Caen dance this evening, and we ' ve never had more fun while helping others at the same time. Certainly this year ' s greatest social success, it was made so largely through the work of Miss Frey, Miss McGhee, and M.C. Mr. Leydon. Saturday, December 9, 1949: Winter Dreams lived up to its title and to our expectations. While gliding over the dance floor, we were entertained by the ready wit of Harry Logan. Saturday, April 2, 1950: Our first Senior Dance. With age, we have gained in experience, for slide, close, slide, has given to glide, away, glide. Harry Logan proved so able last term that we elected him to apply his wit in the affair again. Saturday, April 23, 1950: Everybody from the lowliest junior to the lordliest senior had a grand time tonight. Mr. MacGregor and the Student Center staff have done a wonderful job on Canteen Capers. Saturday, June 9, 1950: Big things tonight 1 We had our first house party, and we ' ll never forget it. Special thanks to Mr. Wilson and all the Bordeaux housemasters for their hard work in helping us. Saturday, October 8, 1950: Autumn Serenade was our last class dance. The thought kept slipping from our minds, however, as Swing Band leader Phil Sawicki ably emceed the affair. Saturday, October 23, 1950: As our first Allen House party drew to a close we couldn ' t help thinking of all of our past dances and good times and of the coming house party awaited by everyone. Saturday, January 21, 1951: We close our successful social season with this evening ' s Commencement Dance. As the last leaf is torn from our social calendar, however, we must not forget to thank those wonderful people who have guided us on the way, our hosts and hostesses, Miss Goodrich, Miss Haid, Mr. Kleiser, and Mr Lander. We will always remember with deep gratitude Miss McGhee ' s ceaseless efforts to help us. THE CORINTHIAN January SPORTS THE CORINTH I AM 133Y THE CORINTHIAN January CAPTAINS AND COACHES Blozowski Rintz Riday Coine McDevitt Althoff Our Class had a captain of six of the seven varsity teams. Buzz Blazowski was the captain of the all-powerful ' 50 soccer team, which vied for the city soccer championship. Don Coine led the Girard mermen in ' 50. Our record-breaking half- miler, Joe McDevitt, captained the ' 49 and ' 50 track teams. Mr. Rothberg ' s sabermen elected Ron Althoff as their leader last season. Carl Rintz, our very talented gymnast, was one of the co-captains of the ' 49- ' 50 gym team and captain of the ' 50- ' 51 gym team. ' Tex Riday captained the ' 50- ' 51 basketball team. Mr. Rothberg Mr. Severy Mr. Groff Mr. Otto Mr. Wolstenholme Mr. Patterson The backbone of any team is the coach. Mr. Wolstenholme deserves strong praise as the coach of our soccer, baseball, and basketball teams. Mr. Patterson is the proud mentor of many strong gym teams. Mr. Severy taught our swimmers all they knew Mr. Groff and Mr. Rothberg coached our track and fencing teams respectively. The gentleman heading the Department of Physical Education is Mr. Otto.

Mac McDevitt, our goalie, was Buzz ' assistant as co-captain. On the line was George Heacox, center forward, a very proficient scorer. Mike Roman held the position of inside right. In the backfield Wayne Umbrell and Carl Barry were the team ' s versatile fullbacks. Bob Foley was a reserve in¬ side right. Thus far our booters have fared well, tying one game and winning the rest Our less lucky opponents have been Olney, Reading, University of Pennsylvania J. V., and Simon Gratz. George Heacox is Girard ' s high scorer, having tallied twelve times in five games. In the remaining five games he is expected to make soccer history. Mr. Wolstenholme completed his second year as soccer mentor with an enviable record. The team thanks him for his superb coaching and keen insight. THE CORINTHIAN January -{36K JANUARY 1951 IN GYMNASTICS For many years our gym team has been one of the best in the city Other classes have had their Procopios; we have our Rintz, and the team ' s succes is in some measure due to his performance. Its full success, however, results from tho ceaseless efforts of Coach Patterson, but with such men as Harry Logan, Tom Traganza, and Tom Getty the coach ' s job was not so difficult. JANUARY 1951 IN FENCING Although fencing was not our most popular sport, we still had our share of the team. Our class provided William Jewett, Arnold Kahn, Ronald Althoff, and Richard Refsnyder. Under the very able leadership of Coach Rothberg the registered six victories, three losses, and a tie. This is a good average for any team 1951 THE CORINTHIAN d37F JANUARY 1951 IN SWIMMING Paterson Blazowski Coine Beard Broge Uur representation on the swimming team was small. Don Coine captained the team as a diver. Champ Broge also was a springboard artist while Elmer Paterson swam the 200-yard freestyle. Buzz Blazowski swam a beautiful 50-yard crawl that was something to see. Mr. Frank Severy, coach, was a great inspiration and guide to the boys as they progressed through the various stages of their development. Thanks, Coach! We appreciate all you have done. JANUARY 1951 IN BASKETBALL Although our class was not represented on the basketball team by a large number of boys, it provided one of the best play¬ ers Girard has ever had. Tex Riday, six-feet three, and every inch a great player, was the hard working captain. Long before the season started, Tex had the boys practicing in the armory. Anv of the success that the team has had is due, in a large part, to Riday ' s efforts to improve it. Not to be overlooked, however, was Bill Krotowski, who proved himself to be a valuable player both on offense and defense. Credit for the team ' s fine play should also be extended to Coach Wolstenholme for his advice and skillful handling of play¬ ers left nothing to be desired. THE CORINTHIAN January Riday -! 38 r JANUARY 1951 IN TRACK Mac McDevitt proved worthy as captain of a successful track team las: year when he bettered the half-mile record previously set by Homer Hoffman in 1944 He was clocked at 2:03. Not record-breakers but equally adept at bringing horns ths bacon, were Buzz Blazowski, Harry Logan, Wayne Query, Robert Foley, Richard Polakcwski, and Carlton Rintz. Buzz leaped at 5 feet 6 inches in the high jump. Harry Logan stretched those long legs and took the high and low hurdles in stride Bob Foley and Sugar Query never were far behind Mac in the half-mile; Dick Polakowski worked hard and made several places in the dashes; Carlton Rintz made o name for himself as a dangerous man in the pole vault. JANUARY 1951 IN BASEBALL One of the best baseball teams in recent years at Girard turned out last spring to beat the city champs in an unofficial game. From the Class of January ' 51 Wayne Umbrell played a snoopy game at short stop and John Barthka worked as manager. Both boys did an excellent job and left records which ' the class may refer to in the future years with pride. Umbrell Barthka l 95 1 CORINTHIAN Barthka Miller Query Rogers 3H}r iflanayprs Who are the boys behind the athletic scenes—the boys who make our teams look presentable on the field—those who work hard and receive so little credit? It takes more to manage an organization, and manage it as well as these fellows did, than to be merely members of an organization. Let ' s give them their due thanks. They are manager of fencing, Richard Rogers; of baseball, John Barthka; of Swing Band, Robert Miller and Wayne Query. {41 Y Barlow Sawicki Ridoy Foley Logan Melvin McDevitt Umbrell Conner ExrrutttJp (Hmmmttpr With these leaders we enjoyed full success in our last term at Girard. It is only proper that we give some recognition to the boys who led us in extra-curricular activities. These are the big names which will be referred to with praise in future years. They are Walt Barlow, cadet major of the Battalion; Richard Riday, president of the National Honor Society; Robert Foley, editor-in-chief of the Girard News; Dick Conner, editor-in-chief of the Girard Magazine; Harry Logan, editor-in-chief of the Corinthian and President of the Dramatic Club; Phil Sawicki, captain of the Concert Band and leader of the Swing Band; Wayne Umbrell, president of the Glee Club; Don Melvin, president of our class; Mac McDevitt, president of the student body.

Last year the Glee Club was under the capable leadership of Wayne Umbrell. He was assisted by Vice-President, Richard Refsnyder, Secretary, John Handschuh, Treasurer, John Barthka, and Librarian, William Krotowski. Other members of the Glee Club from January ' 51 were Albert Bernosky, Michael Bernosky, Donald Coine, Richard Conner, William Jewett, Henry Lempp, Murdo McLeod, Robert Miller, Joseph Riley, Richard Rogers, Thomas Traganza, and Norman Veit. Dr. Banks came up with a fine organization and a superb Christmas Concert No one will ever forget the lovely work of Miss Stacks at the console. An accomplished organist, she was always willing to help us. We will never forget the Hallelu¬ jah Chorus and Sanctus, two of the loveliest hymns ever sung in the Christ¬ mas Concert. Miss Juliet- E.

JANUARY 1951 IN THE BATTALION Walter Barlow capably served as Cadet Major this last term at Girard. With previous experience on the staff as Captain of Recruits, Walt was well qualified for the position. Joseph Riley and Richard Riday bore ranks on the staff as Recruit Captain and Captain Inspector respectively. Commanding the four companies were Captain Donald Melvin of Company A, Joseph McDevitt of Co. B, Michael Roman of Co. C, and Donald Lowstetter of Co. D Wayne Umbreli and William Krotowski were lieutenants. Three members of our class served as first sergeants. They were Robert Foley, Carl¬ ton Rintz, and Stanley Blazowski. Bearing the Philadelphia flag for the bat¬ talion was Arnold Kahn, with Donald Grace serving as Color Guard. Carl Barry was Sergeant Major. There was a new event last fall term cal¬ led the Battalion Open House. It is like the Founder ' s Day parade with its prominent militar officer reviewing the Corps. We wish to extend a word of appreciate - to Colonel Hamilton, who instructed us in military tactics and discipline. Lieut.-Colonel James M.

Assisting Bob on the NEWS were Associate Editor, Don Melvin; News Editor, Mike Roman; Reporters, John Handschuh and Keith Gwyn; Sports Editor, Wayne Query, and assistants, John Barthka and Dick Refsnyder. Business Mgr. Walt Barlow was assisted by Dick Riday, typist Ron Althoff, columnists Coine, Mike Bernosky, and AJ Bernosky, and photographer Blazowski. Dick Conner was assisted by Sawicki and Riley. Illustrations were done by Krotowski and Kahn. On the CORINTHIAN Harry Logan had Conner, Sawicki, Riday, Handschuh, and Lempp. Photographer Blazowski was assisted by Barthka. Coine, and Kahn, and Printing Adviser Mike Roman gave valuable aid in many ways. These staffs wish to express their keen appreciation of the printing instructors, Messrs. Daffin and Bonekemper, and the two sponsors, Dr. Haskell and Mr. Foust, all of whom guided us expertly in their fields of activity. The Class also wishes to express their appreciation of Miss North for directing the art work of the MAGAZINE and this book. THE CORINTHIAN January JANUARY 1951 IN THE DRAMATIC CLUB Refsnyder Beard Riley Jewett A. Bernosky Traganza Coine A. Bernosky Roman Kahn Query Gwyn Logan (absent) January, 1951 was well represented in dramatics with sixteen of us assisting Mr. Andrews in the production of plays. In December, 1949 Murdo MacLeod took a principal part in Maid of France. The following spring found Harry Logan and Bill Jewett in major roles in Cyrano de Bergerac and Don Coine playing a minor role. Last December Harry Logan star¬ red in The Scheming Lieutenant. Though we think we have done a creditable job our major contributions may have been behind the scenes. Don Melvin, Bill Krotowski, Wayne Query, Mike Roman, and Arnold Kahn designed that lovely scenery of Cyrano de Bergerac, ' The Old Lady Shows Her Medals, and The Scheming Lieutenant. Also active in the productions were Tom Traganza, hand¬ ling the special effects, Bob Beard, and Charlie Myer taking care of the lighting, Don Melvin and Bill Krotowski, as stage managers, and Dick Conner as Assistant Director. We are proud of our dramatic accomplishments, but we realize that they could not have been possib 1 without the ceaseless efforts of Mr. Andrews, our dramatic coach. To him goes our most sincere ap¬ preciation of a job well done. THE CORINTHIAN Mr. Henry V. Andrews JANUARY 1951 IN THE SWING BAND Query R. Schlechtweg Krotowski Broge Logan Refsnyder Althoff Sawicki Miller About every third Saturday night during the past term, the sound of smooth dance music has been heard coming from the Founder ' s Hall Ballroom. Is it a record- player? Is it a radio? No, it is the Girard College Swing Band. Hampered by lack of sufficient practice time, the band still gave a creditable showing. Providing the rhythm on the drums and bass were Harry Logan and Bill Krotowski. The saxophone section included Phil Sawicki, the band ' s leader, Ra Schlechtweg, and Dick Broge. Playing the slide trombone was Ronald Althoff ' s job The two managers, Mike Roman and Bob Miller, sorted music and did other menia’ but necessary duties which helped make the band a success. THE CORINTHIAN January {48 ' r JANUARY 1951 IN THE NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY No class has enjoyed a larger and stronger representation in the National Honor Society than ours. Selected for their outstanding qualities of character, scholarship, leadership, and service to the school, Ron Althoff and Phil Sawicki were elected to membership in their J-2 term. The next term Tex Ridav, our basketball captain and tall man, went to the platform alone to receive this great distinction That was on May 9, 1950. On the fourteenth of November, 1950, however, four other boys had won their spurs . . . Carl Barry, George Heacox, Joe Riley, and Mac McDevitt. With the others they were elected for membership by the President in the presence of the sponsor, the Director of Secondary Education, and the Vice President of Temple University, Mr. William Tomlinson, who gave the address of the day. The January 1951 members of The National Honor Society wish to express their happiness in being associated with Dr. David A. Mcllhatten who, as sponsor of the Society, has at all times graced it with both honor and distinction. Dr. David A.

STACKS DR WILFRED B WOLCOTT Social events are affairs which only by careful planning and good judgment can be made to blossom forth into successes. When the time came for us to choose someone to plan these events, we mode wise and excellent choices It was the genial and friendly manner of these hosts and hostesses that transformed each dance into brilliant occasions still precious in our memories Our appreciation of Miss Juliet E Stacks can not be exaggerated Her un¬ erring and capable judgment lifted considerable burdens from the anxious minds of blind-daters The radiance of her smile anct her friendly, encouraging welcome were our first greeting at the dances Dr Wolcott and Mr Nicholson provided a friendly atmosphere with their warm-hearted assistance and made our host and hostess guidance both pleasing and complete Our thanks to these three can hardly be expressed in words They were the introducers of our pleasure and the happy ending THE CORINTHIAN -- i2Y WE DEDICATE TDIS BOOK For her many invaluable kindnesses, and for her unfaltering services as our hostess To the Class of June 1951: One of the outstanding qualities of a Girard boy is his loyalty to his class¬ mates. You young men of the class of June, 1951, have developed during the past decade a knowledge of each other, a belief in each other and a genuine love for each other, in short, a high sense of loyalty. Within your group, to be sure, there have been wide differences of opinion and often clashes of personality. You have fought as little boys and argued as young men. Yet as between your group and any other group you have stood together, each loyally supporting the very boys with whom he had been in violent disagree¬ ment, if the welfare of the group seemed threatened. In the years that lie ahead you will find that among your most cherished mem¬ ories are those of the events which day by day joined you together. From a scared and scattered collection of newbies” these events fashioned a fine class of young men. These are the raw materials of your history here at Girard. As you review these events, now and in the years to come, I hope that you will realize that more than the loyalty of classmate to classmate was being developed. More, indeed, than the greater loyalty of your class to Girard College. For as events forced you to make choices, you began to develop a loyalty to ideas and to ideals. As you grew older you found that this loyalty to ideals could stand in the way of loyalty to your companions. Perhaps you remember the first time that you had to decide between blind devotion to your classmate and your convictions as to right or wrong. Loyalty should not be blind. If a man ' s true frie nd will not aid him in distinguishing between the right and the wrong, to whom can he turn? I feel sure that many of you young men have yet to learn this lesson, for it is a lesson some men never learn, and others with painful difficulty. I mention it in these closing words to you, for I believe it is important. Never further handicap a man who is intent on doing wrong by letting him believe that your loyalty is a sign of approval. Above all, be loyal to the ideals around which you ■will build your life. Then loyalty will be to you and to all your classmates a symbol of your strength and of the strength of the Class of June 1951. Good luck to you! Sincerely yours, W. B. WOLCOTT THE CORINTHIAN Jm H 4 h Stephen r a r d A man must have great qualities in order to live with glory in the hearts of his descendants. Stephen Girard possessed them in a measure we shall never fully appreciate. This great man was not born to a noble family, but the deeds of his life gave him something beyond what no¬ bles usually acquire. For years he was a lonely merchant and mariner who later struggled to develop a bank. But his motives were not alone mercenary; he had a vision in which he was de¬ termined to help bereaved young mothers and fatherless boys, poor, white male orphans.” In this vision he founded the greatest boarding school of its kind in the world. But Stephen Girard did not intend that his scholars” should become merely scholars. Through his foresight and the flexibility of his program, boys prepare for post-high-school education and, of course, they must learn a trade to become self-supporting. This dual-curriculum is unique in American education. Girard College, originally a school for 150 boys, now has capacity for some 1800. Upon our graduation from this great institution, the Class of June 1951 looks back to all its happy days spent in the Hum.” Not all of us may be called scholars, but we hope we are what is more important— men. In men lies the strength of our nation. We must not falter or fail in living up to this standard; we owe it to Mr. Gir¬ ard and to the fellow Girardians upon whom our actions will unceasingly reflect. We wish, then, to express our whole-hearted appreciation of the fos¬ ter father who is responsible for giving ns this chance to be the kind of men he wanted to represent Girard College. Let us pledge ourselves never to for¬ get him! So, in parting— Thanks again, Mr. Girard!” iRptiring otearlirrs Mr. George C. Foust now receives the greeting and best wishes of the class after rendering outstanding service to Girard Col¬ lege for over forty years. He has contributed much indeed to the high standards of the school. Now that the time of his well-earned retirement has arrived, we can join the school in wishing him fullest measure of enjoyment in the free and fruitful years that still lie ahead. Both studenrs and the News staff will miss him greatly. Mr. Charles E. Bowman, Head of the De¬ partment of Business Education, has distin¬ guished himself as an authority in bookkeep¬ ing procedures. Everybody recognizes his thirty-two years of distinguished service on the Faculty of the College. Indeed, he has brought honor and satisfaction to this or¬ ganization and the many other community enterprises in which he has always been in terested. He leaves us with the very best wishes of the Class of June 1951. Dr. David A. Mcllhattcn, for thirty-eight years, taught mathematics in the College and some years ago succeeded the late Mr. Willis as Head of the Department. His friendliness, cheerfulness, and efficiency will be greatly missed and hard to replace. It has been a privilege for the members of this class to know him. He departs with our very best wishes and the hope that he will enjoy this well merited retirement from all his official duties in teaching and in the National Honor Society. Mr. Clyde I. Martin passes, with our re¬ grets, from his many years of active teaching in the mathematics department. We have grown to respect and admire him; in fact, after his thirty-eight years of fine service rendered, we feel sure his contribution to the high reputation of the College has been sur¬ passed by that of no other. May he find great happiness in the activities of all his future years. Mr J. S. F. Ruthrauff, teacher of French, and former housemaster here, has made an enviable record in the service of Girard College for the past thirty one years. His strength of character and genuine interest in the welfare of the boys have placed him high in the esteem of all who know him. We wish him happiness and the best of luck in all the years of his retirement. THE CORINTHIAN FACULTY Knowledge is proud that he has learned so much; Wisdom is humble that he knows no more. 8 I TJ f.l II I? 9 £ Q.

These gentlemen hold the reins of progress in the College and are always working out new ways to do better work and bring greater results in established programs. Dr. Odgers, the president of the College, has introduced new principles that have molded the new Girardian. His fluency and eloquence have moved many a boy in Chapel addresses. Dr. Cooper, Vice-President of the College, is instilling new ideals that will bring success to the highest aims of the administration. Dr. Wolcott, Director of Secondary Education, handles boy problems in what was formerly called the High School. His kind and sincere approach carry real meaning to the solution of problems and the morale of the group. His associate, Mr, Emil Zarella, with fine vitality of speech and physical vigor, understands Girardians, is sincerely interested in helping them, and deserves the whole-hearted support of the many whom he helps. Without Mr. Donecker ' s diligence and unfailing perseverance the wheels of the College would be retarded mightily. His zeal to make the school better has earned the respect and admir¬ ation of the student body. Mr. Houston and Mr. Nicholson, Director and Associate Director of the Elementary School, have both contributed greatly in the development of the Girard student.

At the culmination of our S-2 term a retrospective glance at the semester ' s achievements showed that we accomplished much under our class administration With the capable leadership and diligence of Paul Barone as class president, we over¬ came much hard work during the S-l and S-2 terms As Vice-President of the class, Philip Pokrinchak ably assisted Paul with diffi¬ cult tasks that confronted him Phil did a tremendous |ob as Student Body President, establishing precedents that following leaders will find hard to duplicate For Secretary of the class we elected Novak Masanovich, upon whose capable shoulders rested much hard work With singular enthusiasm and painstaking precision, he made an excellent class secretary Donald Brown did a highly commendable job as Treasurer. Careful work on Don ' s part solved our financial problems.

Every inch of carefree Mole is pocked with gaiety and fun And yet, curiously, he possesses those characteristic qualities inherent in a doss leader But with all the limelight, he was always just plain Mole. How can we forget him? Dear Classmates: This graduation, which we have anticipated for many years, has at last become a reality, and it forces us to say good-bye to one another. It is difficult for me to write this letter because I realize the time has come to say good-bye to Girard and, most of all, to you, my classmates. Oter four years as undergraduates have ended quickly, happily, and profitably. Upon leaving we enter a world of turmoil and uondcr. Some of us may never see each other again, but we shall never forget the faces of the friends that we hate grown up with here. Hence forth we shall travel many difficult pathways of life. Because of the training ue have received here at the College, we can unhesitatingly tackle the problems of life with confidence. On this graduation we are both happy and sad. We are happy because this is one of the big gest things in our lives—something ur have been looking forward to for many years. We are sat because we are leaving friends whom we hat e lived uith for eight or more years. No u under that ue weep! We hat e been brothers for many years; now we are parting. Classmates, the last bit of adtice I want to give you is, Neter forget your Alma Mater and what she has done for you. We have been molded into young men ready to meet the problems of the world outside. Never forget your leathers and what they hat. ii earnestly taught you.” I want to thank you for the honor which yon have gn eu me in electing me president of our class. It was truly a great prit liege to serve such a fine group of fellows. Good-bye, classmates, and may God bliss you and grant you si iri ssful lues.

White Dr. Zeil Mr. Maillardet Mrs Maillardet Many years of expectancy were ours before we reached the climax and goal of our life at Girard, Allen Hall. As young boys our thoughts would wander to that far¬ away heaven where only hard, steady work could carry us. At last when the portals af that building loomed in front of us and we entered it, a sense of fulfillment arrived. We had just about run the gauntlet of trials and tribula¬ tions finally rewarded by graduation. Those who lived in Allen with us were friends of high character. Their earnest, helpful ways smoothed many of our difficulties and made our stay there the happiest of our lives. Dr. Zeil ' s gift of effortless expression provided each conversation with new spice and vigor and made all of us feel immediately at ease. Among Allenites he becomes one of the group, gives aid when it is needed, and laughs when we laugh. Perhaps one of the best-liked housemasters we have ever had is Dr. White. His smile, his singular personality, and his considerate gestures win for him the respect and admiration of the entire class. On the second floor the Maillardets further enriched our last term at Girard. We should thank Mr. Maillardet for all the time he gave to helping us and understanding our problems, as he did, like a real ex-hummer. Allen Hall will stand out as a milestone in our memories, for it was there we happily ended our lives at Girard and started off for greener pastures. .95. THE CORINTHIAN an With foces flushed from the heat of first love, we looked into her eyes, adoration written plainly over our countenances She was there, the girl of our dreams the fulfil¬ ment of long hours of helpless waiting. Here we were at our 2-2 dance, inexperienced in the ways of society, but never more anxious to learn. Before the J-t dance we became familiar with the slide-close-shde routine Mr Keenan ' s calling for a volunteer to demonstrate made all of us clammy with fear Remember how Reds danced with Miss McGhee and how his face became one gigan¬ tic freckle? In time we mastered the art of dancing and graduated to the professional ranks of Casanovas. Mony of us had to go through the trials ond anticipations of blind dating Merci¬ less uncertainty clawed horribly at our stomachs while we waited for her to appear Came the J-l dance followed by the J-2, S-l, and S-2 dances with those long tings after each dance in which everyone told his accomplishments of the night before The swing band, with the harmonaires Jim Racifi, Ray Fulmer, Jock Frey, and Walt German, gave each party an extra sparkle like the topping on a rich cake Our hosts and hostesses Dr Wolcott, Mr Nicholson, and Miss Stacks transformed every dance into an affoir that we sholl remember a long time The orchestra playing, the smooth sliding of shoes on hard marble floors, and the excitement of puppy love built a glowing memory that the passing of time con neither dim nor snuff out THE CORINTHIAN June SPORTS SOCCER BASEBALL GYMNASTICS FENCING BASKETBALL SWIMMING TRACK INTRAMURALS THE CORINTHIAN {33 y 1951 W Ison Deegon O ' Neill Fitzpatrick Rociti ATHLETIC LEADERS June ' 51 has had a share in the schuol ' s athletic glory In every sport but swimming and gym we have had on outstanding athlete, and in these two we have had a goodly number of representatives. Jim O ' Neill, with five varsity letters, is the high man Jim was elected captain of the basketball team after Tex Riday ' s graduation It came as no surprise to anyone when Jim was elected to the captaincy of the baseball club, for he had been a strong regular during the last season Jim, incidentally, scored three goals on the soccer team trom his position at outside right. Ace Fitzpatrick is an athlete of real caliber, and wearer of the little golden soccer pm that signifies singular excellence on the soccer field during last season In receiving this pm, he became one of the eleven soccer players from Philadelphia to be named to All-Scholastic position last year Ace is also a sprinter a potential 3- letter winner m track alone He and Jim O ' Neill were elected as best athletes of our class. Jim Raciti earned four letters Gym, soccer, and track were the three sports in which Jim came into his own In the gym, he specialized mainly in the rope-climb, m track he put the shot A two-letter winner, he captained the track team in his senior year. • Wil Wilson, the pride ot the fencing team, devoted much of his athletic talent ond time to fencing He practiced on both the foil and epee, and through constant hard work won many places in meets The only senior on the entire team, he captained the team In his senior year and won two letters in fencing. Jim Deegan, co-captam of the track team, was a good point-maker He ran a fast mile During his junior year, in which he ran in six meets, he collected twenty-four points In his senior yeor, he came through with flying colors LETTERMEN Front row, I. to r.—Raciti Hughes Deegan Fulmer Wilson Bernstein Woolley O ' Neill Middle row, I. to r.—Dowden Mowery Thompson DiCinque Masanovich Schoenberger Fitzpatrick Back row, I. to r.—Zinsky Weir Gordon Heisler 6 TRACK— Jim Deegan Don Dowden John Fitzpatrick Ed Gordon Bob Heisler Stan Hughes Jim Raciti • SWIMMING— Ed Gordon Joe Mowery • FENCING— Paul Wilson • SOCCER— John DiCinque Don Dowden John Fitzpatrick Ray Fulmer Bob Heisler Jim O ' Neill Jim Raciti Dick Schoenberger Bob Zinsky • GYM— Burt Bernstein Stan Hughes Frank Petrick Jim Raciti • BASEBALL— Floyd Damico Ray Fulmer Novak Masanovich Jim O ' Neill Dick Schoenberger Bernie Weir Bob Zinsky • BASKETBALL— Jim O ' Neill Bob Thompson • MANAGERS— Joe Maselli Dave Ache Front row, I. to r.—Damico Fulmer Fosco Zinsky Back row, I. to r.—Schoenberger Thompson O ' Neill Masonovich Weir JUNE 1951 IN BASEBALL Last spring the class of June ' 51 was well represented on the baseball diamond The team was ably captained by Jim O ' Neill, who also played a wonderful game in the backstop position. Novak Masanovich proved to be one of the best pitchers that Coach Wolsten- holme ever produced. Zeke Zinsky and Ray Welsh were two of the first string in- fielders, Fitz Fitzpatrick and John DiCinque roamed over the outfield. Many others on the squad were from our class and their contributions were good The team as a wnole was a credit to the College, and we are proud of the part our class played in this season ' s games. THE CORINTHIAN Dowden Young Heisler Fosco Fitzpatrick Fulmer O ' Neill Weir DiCinque Schoenberger Zinsky JUNE 1951 IN SOCCER It ' s a rough, fast, action-packed game, and the athletes you see in this picture were among those who thoroughly enjoy it. Soccer at Girard is comparable to football at West Point, and the extremely strong bench that our team displayed was constantly pushing the starting team and driving them to greater prowess. The first-stringers could always feel the hot, spirited second line fighting for a varsity position. Four June ' 51 stars held top positions on the first team. Jim O ' Neill, the talented right wing, together with Bob Heisler, the cunning left inside, cut the opposition to pieces with their snappy passing. Out there on the left wing, with one of the most pow¬ erful drives Girard College soccer has known was All-Scholastic Ace Fitzpatrick. John DiCinque, husky left-half back, was the object of many an opponent ' s disappoint¬ ment when he broke up many scoring threats. The fancy second line, all letter-winners, included Bob Zinsky and Dudes Dowden. The backfield was loaded with talent. Bernie Weir, Jim Raciti, Ray Fulmer, Shell Schoenberger, and Male Young all received letters for outstanding substitute play. To this fighting team that bowed only in the City Championship last season, we all join in saying, Men, we ' re proud of you! THE CORINTHIAN JUNE 1951 IN GYM June 1951 is proud of the accom¬ plishments of its gymnasts. Burt Bern¬ stein, a three-letter man, was our out¬ standing gym representative He con¬ tributed much to the gym team, special¬ izing in rope-climbing. Another strong participant was Buzz Hughes Buzz proved to be no amateur on any of the apparatus, in¬ cluding the rope He practiced long and worked hard for his letter Jim Raciti was the monkey of the gymnasts His bundle of muscles fairly flew up the rope to bring Girard extra Petrick Hughes Bernstein points The team was assisted greatly by Raciti Jim ' s prowess. Frank Petrick was the specialist who did nothing but climb the rope. Pet un¬ officially tied the record set by Doug Dougiallo Since Pet was a late comer to the team, he had time to earn only one G. Maselli very capably filled the managerial post Mole deserves so much credit for his work that his place will be difficult to fill. Although the gym team will continue in its able showings, we know that there will always be something missing in the loss of our representatives. JUNE 1951 IN FENCING Paul Wilson, two-time letter winner, cap¬ tained the fencing team last season for Mr Rothberg Paul deserves great credit for help¬ ing him mold a strong team from inex¬ perienced youngsters on the squad THE CORINTHIAN «« Wilton -{38 ' r Fulmer O ' Neill Thompson JUNE 1951 IN BASKETBALL Even though the basketball team was led by Jim O ' Neill last season, it didn ' t put down a great many wins on the record; but the record doesn ' t show everything. Two other members of our class besides Jim were on the varsity. They were Ray Fulmer and Bob Thompson. They provided the competition which kept the varsity always on its toes. Each should be commended for the fine job he turned in for Mr. Wolstenholme. JUNE 1951 IN SWIMMING The tankmen gave us an impressive record this season. Our contributions to the swimming team were sizable. Five members of our class participated, but Ed Gordon was the most outstanding. Ed ' s grace and speed were really something to see. Sec¬ ond only to Ed, was Joe Mowery. Joe was a speed demon if there ever was one. Joe Camperson and Floyd Damico were the other two water-wing boys. Both added greatly to the team as long as they were members. Mole Barone turned in a swell job as manager. When the swimming season gets under way next fall, these five swimmers will be greatly missed. Mowery Gordon Damico THE CORINTHIAN -{39h JUNE 1951 IN TRACK The track team enjoyed great success this year under the guidance of Coach Joseph Kerns and Captain Jim Raciti Jim Deegan was constantly a winner in the dis¬ tances, while Dudes Dowden and Stan Hughes each won three first places in the season ' s meets Dudes put the shot, while Stan sped over the timbers, both high and low Ace Fitzpatrick won his letter in the sprints, Mooney Milus his in the half-mile, and Ed Gordon and Bob Heisler won theirs in the high jump JUNE 1951 IN INTRAMURAL SPORTS • BASKETBALL— Shelly Schoenberger, Bob Zin k . i 5 1 ' and Tom O ' Dom five who walked away with the Intramural Basketball Championship last winter During the season Zmsky, Heisler, and Schoenberger com¬ bined their efforts and amassed a grand total of 1250 points 1 Their 19-0 record for the season sets a new high m I B A perfection At least in basketball, June ' 51 mode an enviable record of which they can forever be very proud • SOCCER varsity members of the Girard soccer team During the regular run, they developed their skills greatly and by the end of the term they had put into the books a record of ten wins with only three losses.

Mr. Rothberg Mr. Severy Mr. Groff Mr. Ofto Mr. Wolstenholme Mr. Patterson COACHES Usually all the praise and glory goes to the players, but the coaches are really the ones who deserve the credit. They are the ones who teach us the game and how it should be played. They are the ones who teach us how to lose gracefully. When we win, they retire into the background and give us the joys of victory; when we lose, they are at our side to support us courageously in defeat. This is a part of the process of making men. The will to win, the determination to act at all times according to the rules of good sportsmanship, and the purpose to achieve an ideal are as applicable to life as they are to the winning of a game. There is consolation and gratitude among us as we pay these last respects to those who have given this valuable guidance so unselfishly. In these sentiments each coach is remembered.

Here at Girard, our battalion has been honored on several occasions as one of the finest youth military organizations in the country. As cadet major of the battalion this last term, James O ' Neill, along with Captain Adjutant Philip Pokrmchak and Captain Inspector John Fitzpatrick guided the battal¬ ion to a term of success. Among our other battalion members in the class of June ' 51 are c ompany commanders, Joseph Camperson and Paul Barone, whose leadership is recognized by everyone. Our class also has ten lieutenants, a record which we can be proud of. They are Lieutenants George Spayder, John Ryder, Thomas Woolley, Gerald Saulino, Edward Gordon, Joseph Mowery, Robert Zinsky, Emanuel Gerstein, James Deegan, and Bernard Weir. The excellent job done by first sergeants Donald Dowden, Burton Bernstein, Julius Pustilnick, and Robert Heisler cannot be overlooked. We wish to ex¬ press our thanks to Colonel Hamilton and Colonel Rabola whose excellent gui¬ dance in military tactics and disci¬ pline will help us in paving our way to a better, fuller life.

The President of the organization, Downey Hoster, possesses all the attributes expected of that position. Character, leadership, scolarship, and servit tn part of him and of the N H S as a group Paul Barone, Joseph Camperson, and Phillip Pokrmchak were strong pillars of the organization We are entering a confused and frustrated world It is upon the strength of sue as these that the Nation will provide the leadership of the tomorrow [Manorial [Honor % Society w I Members Phillips Welsh Reed Hostcr Raciti Young Maselli Thompson Brown JUNE 1951 IN BAND Although the last four years have been filled with much work and little play, the band has proven to be one of the most cherished activities in which we participated. The regular Saturday morning concerts, the Founder ' s day drills, the Christmas Con¬ cert, and the trips to the Philadelphia Zoo, Penn Charter, York, and the Cul¬ tural Olympics will never be forgotten During the past term the band has been directed by Downey Hoster through a very successful term. Downey ' s able assistants were Ray Welsh and Male Young. Bob Thompson, Jay Reed, and Joe Maselli were second lieutenants, and Don Brown and Jim Phillips were sergeants. In the clarinet section were Male Young and Don Brown, while Joe Maselli handled the bass clarinet. Jim Phillips and Bob Thompson took care of the trumpet section, while Ray Welsh produced mellow music on the French horn. Downey Hoster, and Jay Reed did wonders with their trombone and baritone. Our fellows in the musical organizations extend their sincere appreciation and thanks to Dr. Horning and Mr. Morrison for all they have done for us in music. We shall cherish these things forever. 1951 THE CORINTHIAN Front row, I. to r.—Fosco Hoster Moselli German Back row, I. to r.—Brown Raciti Frey Fulmer JUNE 1951 IN SWING BAND When the Swing Band struck up a melodious number, our feet moved automatic ally to the rhythmic music The instruments, played by their expert manipulators, came to life and poured forth something akin to the limitless realms of love As the smooth voices of Jim Raciti and the Harmonairs, Jack Frey, Ray Fulmer, and Walt German, blended together with the band all eyes were focused on them Their singing added just the right color to bring out the full quality of the Swing Band The hot trombone of Downey Hoster and his excellent leadership were the imtia ' factors in its success His good-natured, determined spirit improved the organization greatly Playing the saxes with olmost professional skill were Malcolm Young and Don Brown Their hot jazz could send the mopiest to flight and awaken the sleep eyed Maestro Joe Maselli ' s violin keynoted each dance Swinging and swaying with tht- turbulent trumpet was Bob Thompson The heat of his tumultuous playing melted the coldest While most of the dances they attended were here at Girard, some were in other places They appeared at P S D, Overbrook High School, and at the Pennsylvania Hospital for the nurses ' dance At eoch affair, home or outside, their talent contm ued to add new joy to each sociol event, THE CORINTHIAN -150 y Front row, I. to r.—O ' Neill Raciti Welsh Gordon Dowden Camperson Second row, I. to r.—Woolley German Pfleegor Brown Heisler Ache Graham Third row, I. to r.—Saulino Masanovich Hughes Fitzpatrick DiCinque Hoster Back row, I. to r.—Nelson Phillips Brooks Koslosky Fulmer JUNE 1951 IN PUBLICATIONS The Girard News finished a successful term with Joe Camperson as its Editor-in- chief. Joe was a fine editor, but he was well assisted by Downey Hoster, who served as associate editor, and Don Dowden as news editor. The sports page of the paper was edited by Jim O ' Neill. Jim Raciti added pep to the jokes in the Ho Hum column, and Norms Brooks filled his column of Main Road Talk with interesting tid bits of campus life. The Girard Magazine, with its charm and fluency of expression becomes a thing of our past. As a literary publication, it was well guided by Edward Gordon, its Editor- in-chief. Suspense and originality came with ease from the pen of Jim Graham, while Ray Welsh and Don Dowden added a hilarious touch with autobiographical material. The art staff, with Dick Pfleegor in the fore, were largely responsible for the intriguing cover and cuts that appeared in this spring ' s issue. This class left its mark on the Magazine in other sketches and in literary production of high quality. The Corinthian, with Donald Dowden and Ray Welsh as co-editors-in-chief, has had a busy spring carrying out one of the hardest jobs of the Senior-two term. The three associates, Jerry Saulino, Novak Masinovich, and Ed Gordon worked diligently too. The art and photography staffs were also capably handled. To Miss North for her assistance in the art work, and to Mr. Foust and Dr. Haskell, sponsors of the three publications, we wish to express our sincere thanks. To these and others, we owe a deep appreciation indeed. Camperson Gordon Welsh Dowden Editors of ' 51 Dr Mcllhotten Mr. Andrews Dr. Horning Dr. Haskell Mr. Foust and tdvide ' ia Since 1935, DR. DAVID McILHATTEN has sponsored our chapter of the National Honor Society with grace and distinction. Under his guidance it has become one of our finest organ¬ izations. As we leave the College, the Class wishes to congratulate MR. HENRY ANDREWS on his long and valuable service in drama coaching. His arrangements and direction of such plays as Cyrano de Bergerac” and The Inspector General”, and his kind and helpful spirit, have left their mark upon many of the boys of our time. No man during his forty years or more of service to the College has had greater faith in Girardians than has PROFESSOR” GEORGE FOUST. As sponsor of Tht Girard Newt, he has guided us well in spreading campus happenings as well as securing for himself an unparalleled record of good teaching and devotion to duty. Among those we shall miss is DR. RAYMOND HASKELL, whose sponsorship of both Tht Corinthian and Tht Girard Manazint has brought genuine satisfaction to those working with him. We thank him for patience and effort spent in helping make Girard a school of which we shall always be proud. COLONEL JAMES HAMILTON, Commandant of the Battalion and fellow Girardian. is revered by the class because of his skill, pleasing personality, and dignity as a gentleman. Under his guidance the Battalion enjoys real success term after term. It will be long indeed before the memory of DR. HARRY BANKS fades among the member of June ' JI. His professional approach, his wonderful leadership of the Glee Club, and his thorough understanding of fine music have brought us deep enjoyment. To sing in the C hristmas Concert, in the Sunday morning chapel service, or upon any similar occasion under his direction is a sat isfying experience. Every school and college takes genuine pride in its band, but in Girard the band is not merely an organization; it it a tradition. To hear it on Saturday morning in the Chapel or at the Christmas Concert is a musical treat, but to see it and hear it on Founder’s Day on the Main Road and Parade Field it an experience that stays with you for months. The fine success of the organization is due in a large measure to the professional talent, leadership, and directing ability of DR. RALPH HORNING, l or producing a band here that has no equal in the city, the Class expresses its appreciation.

Mr. Andrews has put on many good plays, but one of the best in recent years was Cyrano de Bergerac. Ed Gordon played the part of the Viscount de Valvert and died dramatically after an exciting duel with Cyrano in the first act. The bold and dashing Gascony soldiers who followed Cyrano were played by Jim Graham, Jim Raciti, Jim Deegan, and Ray Fulmer. Mole Barone acted as baker with the boy soliloquy of Rolls. In the fall play of 195?, our class was again well represented. Don Dowden portrayed an unforgettable character in Dr. Rosy in The Scheming Lieutenant. Joe Camperson was a good soldier, and Jim Graham and Phil Pokrinchak made good country boys. Norms Brooks played the lead female part in one play and several minor female parts in other plays; he did well in all of them. Behind the scenes in the last two plays Joe Mowery has been in charge of the lighting and sound effects and has done well in both. Joe also served as the vice-president of the Dramatic Club. Jack Pustilnick was the President this year and Don Dowden and Ed Gordon assisted him as treasurer and secretary. .95. THE CORINTHIAN -{53K ‘iR.emem e ' t . .
