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 —

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 —

Girardian First Row — Fisher, Aldinger, Hancock, Georgell, Crosbee Second Row — Stanton, Glover, DuBcll, Cuningham, Abele Third Row — Davis, Angell, Wolff, deCamara, Gedraitis, Evans, Czachor, Camilli I ' HIS year’s Girardian, created by the capable pens of seventeen of the class scribes, and directed by Donald Hancock who, as the editor, presented a balanced selection of material which portrayed our numerous talents. The staff worked seriously with the editor, and the result is a magazine that contained material that was varied, of interest to all, and of good quality. The writers of prose on the staff were Bruce Fisher, John Cuningham, Harry Stanton, Fran¬ cis Georgell, Jay Davis, Bill Wolff, and Robert deCamara. Poetry was contributed by Albert Gedraitis, Dave Evans, and Bob Aldinger. These three did a commendable job. Clifford Crosbee and Gerald Schley did excellent work on the covers and illustrations for the various articles. Their art work throughout the book did much to make it attractive. The work that appeared was selected not only from the staff, but from material submitted by boys from all the High School classes. It ranged from articles on summer jobs to essays on months of the year, friendship, and democracy. This wide field of subject matter that was chosen by our writers is indicative of how worthwhile an organization like the Girardian is, and how it gives a boy a chance to express himself. Rocco Camilli, under the supervision of Mr. Arnold Daffin in the Print Shop, set up the Girard¬ ian and directed the printing of it. After his proof-reading, the copy was sent back to Mr. Mac¬ Gregor for a second check. His suggestions and direction served as a balance wheel to our efforts. To all the boys on the staff, who bore the brunt of the work, to the members of the Faculty who gave ‘a helping hand, and to anyone who contributed to our school magazine, the Class of ’57 expresses its appreciation for a job well done. — 14 —
