FI., Cassel, Eglowsky, Toff As the final notes of Good-Night and Christmas prayer echoed throughout the Chapel, the Girard College Choir reached the climax of its maior performance Much of the credit for the success of our Glee Club and Choir must go to Mr Robert Bush who directed the group and to Miss Juliet Stacks who was our accompanist We firmly believe that the time and effort that these people so unselfishly gave was the source of the spirit and accomplish¬ ment through the year President Chuck Vrabel, Vice-President Bob Bettarel, Secretary Bill Mell, and Librarian Peter Casey displayed an effective leadership which was commendable We shall never forget the Sunday morning processions, the early rehearsals in the auditorium, the seemingly endless repetition of a note or a bar For each of the members it was very definitely a re¬ warding experience in music and in the accomplishment which results from good cooperation. When¬ ever we hear such songs as Ride the Chariot, the Battle Hymn of the Republic, He ' s Got the Whole World, The King and I, and The Polyvetsian Songs and Dances, from Prince Igor, we shall relive some of the pleasures of the music when we sang them We must all agree that the Glee Club and Choir have done very much to add to the quality of music heard on the Girard Campus 13 y

John Moser and Jack Schade, our Co-Editors-in-Chief have given freely of their time, talents, and energy in the planning and creation of our yearbook Together with their excellent staff they have, we believe, produced a class book of which we all ore proud. For the job of writing up the story of our activities and our organizations, Charlie Anton, Joel Ba¬ talsky, Edward Eglowsky, Henry Grabowsky, and Gilbert Herbert have earned our commendation. The important task of Corinthian photograpy was filled by Tom Martin and Norm Kaucher whose interesting work will be remembered for years to come The ort work was exceptionally well done this year by David Christ, Malm Wilson, and Richard Stidham. The originality on the part of the boys made this section a standout Gerald Gallagher was appointed for the difficult position of Printing Advisor. Gerald ' s intelligent contributions in the layout and make-up of this book were invaluable Mr M Arnold Daffin to¬ gether with the boys of the Print Shop ore deserving of high praise for the job they performed and for 1 he long hours of detailed work they gave. Malcolm Meizen was the Business Manager this year Never complaining, Malcolm performed this task efficiently and satisfactorily This is our effort to bring the class a lasting glimpse of our lifetime at Girard and to keep the pleasant memory of our foster-home in our minds and hearts through the years to come. Pride, loyalty, and love of our Alma Mater are embodied in this book. M. 12 y

Since all phases of actual training hove been student controlled, this organization also provided an excellent way to develop the qualities of leadership, initiative, and discipline through our own endeavors This year, the command of the Battalion was the responsibility of Cadet Major Woyne Vanderoar who can look back on his work with satisfaction. Supporting our student commander was an ef¬ ficient staff comprised of Captain of Recruits, Robert Bettarel; Captain-Inspector, David Christ, Lieutenant-Quartermaster, Carl Hoffman; and Battalion-Clerk, Henry Grabowski. In charge of the individual companies were Captain Richard Stidham, Co. A; Captain James McKendrick, Co B; Captain Robert Blizzard, Co. C; and Captain David Hunscher, Co. D. The Battalion couldn ' t have been successful without the contributions of , the other officers who served in the companies, the large staff of recruit lieutenants, and the color K. , , guard under Sergeant-Major Joseph Byrne A large measure of credit must go to Colonel Hamilton who was with us every Friday to plan and supervise each week ' s undertakings We shall re member the hours devoted to making this organiza¬ tion an asset to the life of the College mm Officer’t Center ” 14 K
