Corintliuiii First Row — Cumtigbam, Hehnen Second Row — Jamieson, Spurlin, Crosbce, Wools ton, CollanJ, Z enda Third Row — Hartman, Woomer, Dai is, Skojec (Not pictured ) Falciani A S WE look over our Corinthian, we remember the work of preparation that has made any position on the Corinthian staff satisfactory. In our first meeting, the class selected Michael Falciani, William Skojec, David Woomer, George Woolston, and Richard Zenda to write up the copy. For the job of Corinthian photographers. Bill Hartman and Jay Davis were chosen. We shall enjoy their good work for years to come. John Colland took on the essential task of Printing Advisor. John’s suggestions were always good, and his knowledge was an ever-handy help. Under the guidance and instruction of Mr. M. Arnold Daffin, the students of the Print shop set up and printed this Class Book. The Art in the Corinthian, although somewhat limited, was created by John Jamieson and Clifford Crosbee, and did credit to their abilities. A busy position this year was the Business Manager’s. Frederick Spurlin was appointed to this job. We are indebted to Fred for the job he did as combination messenger, liason man, and bookkeeper. To do the planning, organizing, some writing, and preliminary proof-reading, John Cun- ingham and Mark Hehnen were elected as Co-Editors-in-chief. With this fine staff behind them, they couldn’t help putting out a Corinthian of the high calibre that we think it is. Dr. Raymond I. Haskell, as our sponsor, gave us timely suggestions and with his experience from years past, gave us helpful hints on copy and organization. Mr. Caswell E. MacGregor has sponsored all the copy. After organizing, the staff moved steadily to complete the yearbook we are now enjoying. As the last page is turned over, we realize what the Corinthian will mean to us in later years, when we look back on the fond memories of our foster-home. Our affection for our school will be aroused by stirring words, We ' ll not forget you till our hearts be still.” — 12 —

With the combined efforts of the largest staff in Girard history the boys succeeded in doing just that, and we are appreciative of their efforts. The News was edited by Charles Finn, George Glover, John Angell, and Gerald Schley. The fine layouts and the design of the newspaper this year was the result of their interest and ability. Heading the Sports Department” were Michael Falciani and George White. Working under them were Bob Aldinger, Mark Hehnen, Will Abele, and Rich Paone. These boys covered the sports events of the campus completely and effectively. Many fine and descriptive write-ups appeared in their columns. The difficult task of writing the Personalities” column was handled by Dave Evans who vividly created many of the personalities in our school life. Pleasing humor was added by the excellent writings of Tony Lazzaro and Sam Zarallo in the Ho-Hum” column. Leon Singer managed the Exchange Department and established some new exchanges with a number of schools. Bob deCamara’s column, The Allenite,” was a pleasing feature. We must not forget the good work of our Business Manager, Richard Wright and our Illustrator, Clifford Cros¬ bee. Working between the Print Shop and the staff, our Printing Advisor, George Woolston, help¬ ed add to the efficiency of the staff. The appearance of many clear and exciting action shots can be accredited to our Photographer, Francis Georgell, who gave much of his time to the taking and developing of the film. Our Research man was Sam Gransback and our Book Critics were Albert Gedraitis and Joe Lally. The distributing of The News was taken care of by John Colland. The reportorial leg work, the copy writing, and the meetings are all memories of a good year and the hours of work and discussion which we enjoyed. We are grateful to our sponsor, Dr. Raymond Haskell, and to Mr. Arnold Daffin for his patience and help in printing The News. We are also sincerely appreciative of the financial help of our loyal Alumni. — 11 —

A record membership of eight-eight boys and our new director, Mr. Bush, worked enthus¬ iastically and steadily throughout the year. The elected leaders were George Young, President, George Woolston, Vice-President, David Evans, Secretary, and Richard Wright, Librarian. In addition to the performances at the Christmas Concert and on Founder’s Day, the members took part in the Singing City” performances at the Academy of Music. They also sang some entirely new and inspiring anthems each Sunday. This year something new was enjoyed by the student body and guests as the Glee Club gave a Spring Concert. It was the first time this had been done, and it was a complete success. Featur¬ ing two guest soloists, June Elliott and Tommy Perkins, the choir sang many favorites from Porgy and Bess,” Show- boat,” and Oklahoma.” We are proud of and will long remember the fine Performance of that even¬ ing. We wish to thank Mr. B ' ish and Miss Stacks for their sacrifices and con¬ sistent efforts to make the Glee Club what it was. Glee Club and Choir at a Sunday morning rehearsal — 13 —
