10 The Corinthian THE GIRARD NEWS Class of ' 56 on The News First Row: Shiels, Smith, Morgan, Wood, Roach, Pearson, Anton, Daring, Carola, Diorio, Titus, Stalford Second Row: Holzinger, Miller, Havira, Walendziewicz, Sheitelman, Newton, McGhee, Smeader, Zimring Third Row: Lydic, Fritz, Pelagatti, Batalsky, Ronczka, Wybranski, Lyons, Silavno Fourth Row: Smyth, Lewis, Bowman, Corridoni, Bertino This year, as a result of hard work and fine quality, The Girard News was accepted by the Columbia Scholastic Press Association, a high honor for any high school newspaper. We wish to congratulate the entire staff and Dr. Haskell on this merited attainment. Our News was headed by Editors H. Frank Pearson, Howard Anton, Eugene Walendziewicz, and Abraham Sheitelman, all of whom kept the p ublication running smoothly. The sports world was always up-to-date with fine detail through the efforts of the Sport Editors Kent Lydic, Carl Havira, and their staff Fred Wood, Joe Morgan, John Smith, Ed Malumphy, Gus Pelagatti, and Bob Holzin¬ ger. Jerry Batalsky wrote the Personalities column, while Bill Darling and Stanley Wybranski kept us laughing with their Ho-Hum coulmn. John Smyth managed the exchange department so that other schools might enjoy the paper and Jon Newton ' s Allenite as much as we did. Special credit goes to Fred Zimring, Business Man¬ ager; Don McGhee, Printing Advisor; Mark Miller, Illustrator; Bill Smeader, Photographer; and Tony Diorio, Distribution Manager. Reporting on everyday facts and occurrences were Larry Carola, Pete Corridoni, Barry Lewis, Mitch Lyons, and Bill Stalford. The class and News Staff deeply appreciate the efforts of Dr. Raymond Haskell, sponsor, and Mr. M. Arnold Daffin, printing instructor, who had a great part in making the paper what it was. Special thanks go to the Alumni who have financed The News for several years.

Class of June, 1956 9 First Row: Erario, Briggs, Diorio, Newton Second Row: Lydic, Krachman, Anton, Smyth Third Row: Sheitelman, Chadwick, Pearson, Bralczyk, Wybranski After much labor and debating over policies and procedures in meetings under the direction of Dr. Haskell, we have this to offer as our finished product. His strictness in making us work on sched¬ ule has made this Corinthian what it is. Without his rigorous and helpful, appreciated sug¬ gestions, we would have failed. Copy, as it was handed to Dr. Haskell, was sent to the Print Shop. Here, under the direction of Mr. Daffin, the linotype slugs were cast and the presses rolled to complete many months of tiring work. As you see here, Mr. Daffin, directing very capable Print Shop students has produced the ex¬ cellent job which he has always done on our publications. N First Row: Havira, Miller, Chadwick, Flanagan, Newton, Carola Second Row: D. Lewis, Breault, McGhee, Jones Third Row: Briggs, Costello, Corridoni Fourth Row: Darling, Shiels With a late start The Girardian organized and elected Richrd Chadwick editor-in-chief. In a succeeding meeting assistant editors Carl Havira and Joe Flanagan were voted into office. Mark Miller and Larry Carola as art editor and printing advisor respectively completed the staff. The Print Shop boys helped us with unselfish and unending efforts. Their skills, directed by Mr. Daffin, combined speed with accuracy till the last run came off the press. Mr. MacGregor, the capable sponsor, tied the loose ends together when any situation arose. He spent many long hours in correcting and editing copy, and in helping the editors. All worked hard side by side contributing their work to the Magazine; the result was two completed issues filled cover to cover with wri tings of literary quality and great local interest.

Class of June, 1956 First Row: Pelagatti, Dornbach, Silvono, Darling Second Row: Bertino, Nelson, Morgan, Hovira, Stalford, Batalsky Third Row: Smith, Flanagan, Taylor, Linthicum, Miller, Schoffstall, Walendziewicz Fourth Row : Corridoni, Worrell, Roach, Newlin, C. Brown, Walker, Wiggins, B. Lewis At the end of June, 1955, boy after boy tried his luck in gaining admission to the Glee Club. However, only a few made it. These, under the direction of Dr. Harry C. Banks, Jr., provided the student body with anthems on Sundays and during the Christmas Concert. Bob Newlin, a member of the Glee Club for two and a half years, presided over the group. Rich Linthicum, with his melodious voice , took on the job as Vice-President. The position of Secre¬ tary-Treasurer went to John Smith. Chuck Brown, the tall red-head with a deep voice, served as Li¬ brarian. The combined efforts of Bob Newlin, Dr. Banks, and the rest of the boys have made the Glee Club an outstanding organization in the College. STUDENT CENTER It is hard to thank Harry Price enough for the many hours he spent working assiduously in the Student Center. For more than half the year Harry had to act as bookkeeper, assistant manager, and manager—a heavy burden for anybody to carry. Despite these handicaps Harry steered the Center to another fine success. Working at his side were Bob Jones, Barry Lewis- and Ralph Bruno, who had the laborious jobs of counter heads All of them devoted many long hours keeping counters filled, workers in line, and customers happy. Martin Pustilnick also did a fine job as advertising manager. They deserve more praise than we can give them. Under Harry ' s leadership, plans were made to move the Center from Founder ' s Hall. This is the first major change proposed in a number of years. Sincere thanks are also extended to Mr. MacGregor, whose guidance and keen interest were in¬ valuable.
